THE STRIKE
President RatchfOrd's Encouraging State
ment to the Miners.
THE PlTTSBURG DISTRICT STRIKE
orders For Coal in That District Being
FILLED From Central Pennsylvania,
Where the Men win be Urged
to Join the Strike.

Columbus. o.. July 16 - President
Ratchford and Secretary Pearce have
issued an official buuetin-No. Ito
the miners. it being a review of the
situation. The bulletin says:
our fight for living wages now
covers, in whole or in part, eight states
OF the Union. 1t is a general suspen-
sion, and no local settlements will be
authorized or recognized. The second
week and the eighth day of our sus-
pension brings with it greater assur-
ance of ultimate victory than any pre-
vious day. Our forces are increasing
every hour, our determination is un-
hinching, and our actions are law
abiding in every particular
The state and number of miners in
volved are as follows:
In western Pennsylvania fully 20. 900
miners have Joined US for living wages
which makes suspension almost unani-
nous In every mine in the district
Work still continues in the central
field, but steps will be taken in a few
days looking to a suspension, which It
Is believed, will be successful.
In Ohio $4,000 miners have laid down
their tools in their demand for living
wages, making the suspension general
excepting a few local mines.
Indiana advices received report
every mine and every miner in that
state suspended. Eight thousand have
Joined in the march for living wages.
Reports from Illinois are to the effect
that the suspension is practically gem
eral, and that miners are determined
to continue the march until living
wages are secured.
I'm West Virginia about 5000 miners
have Joined the movement. Reports
from various sections of the state con.
firm the belief that the miners will
suspend, Eight organizers left this city
yesterday for West Virginia, and the
supply Of coal from that field will be
cut off in a very few days.
Tn Kentucky and Tennessee about
1000 miners have suspended, and others
may be expected to follow. Kansas
miners are all at work, but will hold
convention tomorrow. 1t is expected
that they also VIII suspend. Alabama
reports indicate that 5000 miners or
more have suspended.
THE supply of coal is fast becom-
ing exhausted at the various distrib-
uting points. Railroads are confscating
shipments and cities are almost with
out supply. In fact, coal famine is
near at hand"
President Ratchford has mailed per-
sonal requests to miners throughout
the country asking for statements re-
garding the wages they received, for
publication for the benefit of the public.
Thirty-nine miners in the Sandy Creek
valley have been heard from. Since
rarly In the spring the wages of these
men for each two weeks has averaged
$5.74 each. The total earnings was
$2S3.9S, and for the same period their
Indebtedness to the operators for rent,
provisions, mining material, etc, ag-
gregated $619.29 leaving the miners in
debt to their employers in the sum of
$S96.71. President Ratchford says this
is fair sample of the condition Of the
miners.

at His old Tricks.

Senator Coyle was in town last evening and
made an effort to stem the tide that has set
in against him in his canvass for state dele
gate. He met with very poor success here,
as the sentiment is very strongly anti
Coyle. While here, however, he could not
refrain from his well-kuown tactics of de-
ception, by circulating the report that Mr..
George Brill had withdrawn from the con
test for state delegate. Coyle knew that he
was telling an untruth when he made the
statement. Mr. Brill is on a pleasure trip,
but will be home the latter part of this
month. He is not only in the fight to stay
but will be one of the delegates to the next
State Convention, and the name of his col
league will not be Coyle, notwithstanding
his prevaricating proclivities.

The Supreme Court has affirmed the de-
cision of the lower court in the case of the
County of Schuylkill, VS.. Pepper. Thomas
H. Pepper of Ashland, was county treasurer.
and claimed commissions on moneys collected
for boroughs and the state. The Commits
sioners claimed that being salaried officer
he was entitled to no commissions. On case
stated Judge Pershing decided that Mr.. Pep
per was entitled TO commissions on state col
lections, but not on borough collections. Mr..
Pepper thereupon appealed to the Supreme
Curt. The decision of the Supreme Court
in the case of Thomas Pepper also applies to
DR.. Dechert. This will be unwelcome news
to the ex-Treasurer of the county.

The Great Popular Sweep Covers
All Hudson County With
Tremendous Majorities.

The people have awakened from the.
dream and thrown off the hideous inclbs
of Republicanism which have
long oppressed them and threatened
suck the very life out of them. By
glorious old time victory they arose
their might and elected Edward Hoos
Mayor: William f. Midlidge, Alderman
Large; Anthony Hauck and James
Nolan, members of the Street and Wate
Board and these nine Democratic Alder
men James Burns, Ambrose Guiton, Will

lenses, Misrepresentation of facts, per-
version of official records and the
malicious lies and slanderous libels of the
Evening Journal"
Citizens who were encountered in the
public conveyances and along the princi-
pal thoroughfares this morning all wore
smiles and looked as though they had met
with some unusual good fortune And so
they had. By their ballots they had
rescued themselves from the Republican
policy which threatened them with bank
ruptey and disaster. So when it became
known last night that the Democrats had
swept the city, some of them took off
their coats and cheered until they were
hoarse while others kept the heavens
aglow with red fire and the greater part
of the city awake wit their exploding
bombs. The Democrats triumphed in
other sections of the county. In Hoboken
the people administered most stinging
rebuke to the Republicans and gave
Clement De R. Leonard for Mayor a
thrashing. Lawrence Pagan was elected
Mayor by majority larger than the
numbers of votes his three opponents re-
cefved together. Five Democratic Coun-
cilmen in sympathy with the Mayor were
also elected. Down in Bayonne the
Republicans were also rebuked by the peo-
