CAMP UNITY TO BE BRoREN UP.
The Notorious Gang to be Dispersed at
Muzzles of Rifles.

Pittsburg, Aug 25.-The camp of ne
gro laborers at Unity, near the striking
miners camp at Plum Creek, which has
a record for lawlessness unequalled in
this state, is to be broken up. During
the past month there have been sew
eral murders and a score or more shoot
ing scrapes at the camp, in which
many negroes were injured. Last night
three men were shot and on Saturday
one man was killed and four danger
ously injured.
Yesterday was pay day, and it also
| marked the arrival of one hundred col
orred women of the worst character at
the negro camp. With the advent of
| these women and lots Of bad liquor, all
| records for lawlessness and disorder at
the camp were broken, and the widest
excitement ensued. So bad had the
situation become that even the railroad
| superintendent on the work are afraid
| to enter camp. To-day men were sent
| through the camp to secure the name
| and number of every man who is en-
| ployed on the railroad
Tomorrow the company will march
strong guard of heavily armed men
| into the camp and drive out all the
women and gamblers at the muzzles of
Winchesters A dead line will then be
| drawn about the camp, and they will
not be permitted to return The whole
neighborhood at Unity is in state of
terrorism. The farmers dare not walk
the roads unless heavily armed.

Mine Workers of America, was ar

while leading a body of marchers past

and passed under the track.
On their return they were stopped
by deputy sheriffs and told that they
could not pass under the tramway The
marchers became enraged and for a
time it looked as if there would be Sc
rious trouble. The marchers decided to
remain where they were and commune

o'clock and said that he would lead the
procession. The band with Dolan at its

WHEAT COMES BACK A LITTLE.
A Pause in the Downward Movement OF
Prices Yesterday.


New York, Aug. 25-There was
pause in the downward movement OF
wheat prices to-day and at the best
point a rise of four cents a bushel from
yesterdays close, but still 31s under the
highest figure of the year on December.
The market started with bulls in con-
troll and spirited competition between
shorts and continental houses. Prices
ran up to 9S cents on this bulge against
9o5s last night, but on a succeeding
cloud of selling orders on realizing or
ders dipped to 955s. Local speculation
reused into pronounced activity several
moments during the day, but there was
little feverish excitement in the pit.
The big bulls were all understood to
have secured their profits and vacated
the market in favor of the smaller op-
orators. Gable news was bearish with
the exception of Liverpool Paris mar
kets opened and closed lower. Ant
Werp was one point lower and Berlin
eight marks lower, so that with the
exception of early foreign buying and
the Liverpool rally to-day's cable news
was on the bear side.
Near the close the market was firmly
sustained by rumors that exporters had
picked up something like 500, 900 bushels
at New York to-day. Total transac-
tions to-day were upwards of $4,000 900
bushels

An Unknown Han Killed,

An unknown man was instantly kill
ed last evening on the Derby road. near
AIlingtown. He was struck by the 1850
express out of New Haven, and the
body was horribly mangled beyond rec
ognition. Nothing was found on the
person by which the body could be
identified. The man was poorly dress
ed and as nearly as could be estimated
from the mutilated features, was about
thirty-fve years of age. The remains
were taken to Lewis & Maycock's un-
dertaking rooms after having been
viewed by DR.. John F. Barnett, medical
examiner Of the town of Orange.

EATES DEFE4TS INSECT.
The Former VIII Meet Wrenn for U. S.
National Championship

Newport, Aug. 25.-In just one hour
to-day Dr. William V. Eaves of Eng
land disposed of his countryman, Hugh
A. Nisbet, in the final round of the all
around comers' tournament at the in
ternational tennis championship, there
by winning the right of challenging r.
D. Wrenn for the tennis championship
of the country. Nisbet displayed little
of the brilliancy and dash that charac-
terized his match with Larned on Mon
day, and was beaten in three straight
sets, rs, 6-3, 6-2. Neither player put
up game that held the attention of
the crowd except at brief intervals and
there was none of that breathless ex-
citement that marked yesterday
match. The contest in the main was
tame and listless, due in part perhaps
to the slippery condition of the court.
which made quick dashes after fast
driven balls almost dangerous. Nisbet
developed surprising faculty of driv-
ing into the net or out of court and
practically lost the mach on this ac-
count, for he made within one as many
place shots as his opponent.
Eaves, on the other hand, seemed to
take things easy, covering court as usu-
al in a marvellous manner and playing
throughout a far steadier game than
NiSbet.

c1UBBED INTO SUBMISSION.
John o. Nero Resisted Arrest, but Finally
Landed at the Police Station.

John o. Nero, who keeps a saloon at
the corner of Chapel and Union Streets
was arrested last evening for drunken
ness, breach of the peace and resistance
to an officer Officer Curren was pass
ing the saloon about 1880 o'clock last
evening when he heard a. disturbance
inside, and was informed that nght
| was in progress within.
He entered the place and found Nero
intoxicated and trying to put man
out of the saloon. The man who gave
the name of William O'Connell left the
saloon when he saw the officer. and
was followed out of the place by officer
Curren. On the sidewalk outside he
| told the officer that the difficulty had
arisen over a disagreement as to
change. He claimed that Nero had not
given him the proper change and went
| back, accompanied by Curren, to get
the change that he claimed was due
| him.
| AS O'Connen entered the saloon Nero
struck him, and knocking him down
| began to pound him. Officer Curren
ordered him to desist. Nero refused to
do so, and was placed under arrest. He
| went out to the sidewalk with the Of
fcer. A large crowd had collected
| there, and as they reached the walk
Nero said to Curren, You think you
are going to make a show of me, don't
you? Well, I will make show of you
instead With that he struck the Off
Ger a singing blow, and started te
break away Officer Curren tried tc
quiet him. but was unable to do So
Nero striking at him several times.
Finally the officer seeing that mild
treatment would not avail, drew his
| club and began to use it on Nero with
good effect Nero was finally clubbed
| into submission, and having been in
duced thereby to give up his desire to
make show of the officer, with the as
sistance of Officer Klaiber, who had ar
rived in the meantime, Officer Curren
| took him to police headquarters. AT
the police station Nero was still in a
scrappy mood, and acted vicious. II
was found that he had received a deep
cut on the head. DR.. Gaynor was sum-
moned to dress the wound, but when
the physician arrived Nero refused to
allow him to dress the wound. He was
kept quiet, however, with the assist
ance of three or four officers and DR.
Gaynor took four stitches in the cut
Nero will be tried on three charges In
the city court this morning. Bonds
were furnished for him last night by
Frederick Grave and after he had quiet

Jennie Anderson, Sent There Suffering
from Effects of MISUNDERSTANDING
Jennie Anderson, the nineteen year

gust 10, escaped from the hospital at
7:30 last evening. The girl before being
sent to the hospital had been staying at
the Y. w. G. A, on Chapel street. On

by Phil Smith going into Hull's drug
store. She was in very dishabille cos

followed her into the drug store where
he heard her ask for morphine 1t was
refused her, and she started to run
across the street to Hewitt's drug store

Has Been Annoying Women and Girls in a
Violent Manner

Officer Frey of the Dixweu avenue
station last night arrested coiored
man who has been for some time an
noyng ladies walking on the street in
the vicinity of the corner of Chapel and
Norton streets and the corner of Ellis
worth avenue and Stanley street. The
officer was on his beat last night when
he was informed by a gentleman who
was walking with his wife on Norton
ing them for some time and insulting
his wife. The negro was close behind
the couple at the time and started to
run when he saw the officer He was
caught, however. In his pocket was
found a loaded revolver and he will be
tried in the city court this morning for
carrying concealed weapons that being
the only charge that can be proven
against him at present.
The man gave his name as John w.
Collins and said that he lived on Nun
son street. He is about thirty years of
age and wears an old faded dark suit
and light soft hat. The police have
heard several complaints recently of
his doings, and his capture is consid-
cred an important one.
The fellow has insulted several girls
whom he has seen on the street alone
in that vicinity, and has on several
occasions endeavored to extort money
from young men whom he has seen
walking with lady friends, often show
ing a revolver and threatening to shoot
if the money was not forthcoming. 1t
is probable that before he is allowed to
go some of these cases will be proven
against him.

GRAVE SITUATION IN INDIA.
The Government Confronted With an
Alarming State of Affairs.

Bombay, Aug. 25, II p. m-The latest
dispatches received from the front ind-
cate that the situation on the frontier
is getting worse. 1t is evident that the
Indian government must face a grave
crisis, involving heavy expenditure and
probably great loss of life. The gov
ernment is confronted with the follow
ing state of affairs;
Khyber Pass has fallen into the
hands of the Afridis; the posts in Kur-
ran Valley are threatened by the pow
erful tribe of the Orakzais; the Moh-
mand tribesmen are meditating a re-
neWal of hostilities around Fort Shah
kadr, While thousands of troops are en-
gagged in crushing the revolt in the
Swat valley and two large brigades are
holding the Tochi valley, where the
Mahsud-Maziris are again hostile
The widest excitiment prevails
among the Hindoo traders at Banu, on
the Kurram river. 1t is rumored that
seven thousand Waziris intend to
swoop down there tonight, sack the
town and massacre the inhabitants.
The Mullah and his em1SsarieS, and es-
pecially those from the Afghan COVER
nor of Khost, are actively stirring up
the Waziris, who are also affected by
the disloyal attitude of the Kurram
tribes and emboldened by the knowl-
edge that the garrison at Banu is very
weak.
Simla, Aug. 25.-The British agent at
Cabul, capital of Afghanistan, reports
that the ameer held a durbar (conven-
tion of chiefs) on the 18th inst, and

Afghan subjects in the outbreaks of
the Indian tribes on the frontier, and
