SOLDIERS SHOOT STRIKERS.

Serious Trouble at Hakes' Mine at Rut-
land-Misery of the Miners. o
The trouble originated in dispute
ever a broken scale beam which E.,
Hakes, the mine owner, failed to have
repaired until lately. The scales were
tested by the mine inspector for this
district and found to be 440 pounds out
of balance. The miners want to be paid
67h cents ton, mine run, and Hakes
wants to pay so cents for coal screened
ever diamond screen. The men struck.
Friday the miners demanded their pay
arrears. Failing to get their money
400 men assembled at the shaft and
attempted to set fire to the mine build
ings. Then the shooting took place.
A conference was held Friday after
noon, at which Mr.. Hakes agreed to pay
the miners what is due them January
Is, but an earlier settlement will be in.
sisted on. The whole town is in misery
and want. The people depend on the
mines for support, and since the strike
the storekeepers have left town or
closed up their places of business. The
miners of La Sale. Streator and Spring
Valley have passed resolutions of sum-,
rathy and sent money and food to the
striking miners. Late reports are to
the effect that an effort is being made

FOUGHT IN THE DARK.
Desperate Encounter at q Christenine-
'=n. One Man Dead.

Desperate Encounter at q Christenins-
"a, One Man Dead. ..---
Scranton, Pa. Jan. "a Hungarian
christening at. Mayfeld, this county,
Thursday had the usual bloody ending
which attends these festivals, for as the
result of the fight with knives one man
is dead. two are dying and five others
are badly carved. Strong liquor flowed
freely at the christening, and soon
many of the men were mad with drink.
Seven of the participants in the feast
went to the house of Lucetz Krutchas.
Krutchas soon had to resent an insult
to his wife, and then the knives flashed
out. Mrs. Krutchas dashed out the
light and fed from the room. A fear
full fight followed in the dark. The
drink-maddened men cut and stabbed
each other and rolled together upon the
floor in deadly grapple. Finally a con-
stable and posse broke into the house,
and when a light was had ghastly
picture was presented. .'%s
The furniture was battered and
broken and blood was everywhere, and
stretched on the floor were eight ap-
parently dead and dying men, groaning
and cursing. A physician was hastily
summoned. Krutchas was so terribly
cut that he died in short while. The
injuries of the other men show the
savage nature of the fight. Peter Guzy
was cut over the heart. left hand sew
cred at the wrist, will die; Wazyl Zubal,
stabbed in the back, lung pierced and
chunk of flesh cut from shoulder, will
probably die; John Turpakone, ear cut
off and numerous slashes on shoulder
and back; Paul Pawlak, face and arms
slashed; John Nester, face, head and
breast badly cut; Michael Oleaniz,
stabbed in the taces and back: Andrew,
Telep, stabs and nose broken. These
men are under guard in the hospital
and an investigation of the affair ia
being held. - E>.*

GENERAL GRANTS HORSEMANSHIP.

A writer in McClure's Magazine says
that in the spring of 1878 he was in
the city of Milan, and there, before the
hotel where he was staying, he saw an
immense crowd about beautiful horse
which three grooms were holding with
difficulty. A group of Italian officers
in full uniform were waiting near on
their own horses, and evidently some
grand. ceremonial was about to take
place. Presently he was told that
General Grant was to review the pride
and flower of the Italian army, the
flying Bersaglieri, and in a few mo-
ments the general appeared, dressed
very plainly in civilians clothes.
The Italian officers advanced, re-
ceived him, and took him to the horse.
A more wicked looking creature it
would be difficult to describe; and
from the sly looks which passed among
the elegant young officers, it almost
seemed as if they had, of set purpose,
assigned their guest an untamable
steed not yet broken. But General
