superintendent Fisher of the Sandy
Creek mine testified that he had been
notifiedto stay in the house or he would
be done up," and that he had been
shot at. The witness refused to give
the name Of his informant, and Judge
Stowe said anything that would tend to
show that life or property was endan-
gered was competent They were here,
he said, to find out if the conduct of the
strikers was such as to cause the in
junction to be continued
President Dolan was next called for
cross examination, and during his tes-
timony said the strike was made at the
request of several operators. Among
the number were James Shields, Cap
tain ]. j. Steytler and Captain Blythe.
These operators, he said, had told him
that De Armitt was running the trade,
and the only thing that would save
them from the Sheriff and the miners
from starvation was a strike. No one
had told him to get De Armitt's men
out, but it was hoped to make the
strike general.
The hearing in the injunction case
against the striking miners closed at
3:30 this afternoon. The court an
nounced that the final decision would
be rendered tomorrow. and pending
this the preliminary injunction would
be continued
ANTHRACITE STRIKERS.
HAZLETON Pa), Aug 16.-Matters
atthe Lehigh and Wilkesbarre collieries
in the Honeybrook district are growing
serious. Thirty-five drivers went out
Saturday for an increase in wages. This
morning $500 miners joined them. The
Italians and Hungarians, the last to go
out, are the most aggressive, and fears
are entertained that they cannot be
controlled.
The men had no organization, but a
branch of the United Mine Workers
was started, and 600 men signified
their willingness to join. The entire
force of coal and iron police, carrying
Winchesters, are on hand to guard the
colliaries
The strikers assembled on the hills
about Audience and crowd of 300 men
marched past the deputies to the break
er. At a given signal the men at work
left their places. Those who hesitated
were guarded by strikers and taken
past Tie utpull6S. WI ulu not attempt
to molest the men. Interference by the
deputies would. it is believed, have pre-
cipitated a riot, as the men are deter
mined and desperate. The strikers
marched to the hall, held a meeting,
and dispersed.
The feeling is so bitter against Super
intendent Jones that he fears bodily
harm, and moves about with an armed
escort. He offered this morning to
meet the demands Of the drivers, but
the men are now determined to have all
their grievances heard, and will appeal
to the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre officers
in New York. Besides the wage ques-
tion they are demanding the discharge
of Superintendent Jones or his trans
fer.
This morning some of the workmen
were given five days to leave the COM
pany's houses. The situation is criti-
cal and on outbreak is likely to occur

vines were going to die, as had been
said, he wanted to know more Of it.
Professor Haine said that the vigor-
Gus vines took long time to die, the
| weaker ones succumbing sooner. The
vigorous vine has larger roots than
the other and the cancer made by the
bite of the phylloxera does not eat
through them so soon, but they have
eventually to succumb. There are
many vines on sandy soil that are not
attacked, but many others are. An
immersion of the roots for ninety days
or SO will kill the phylloXera, but if the
man who has charge of the irrigation
goes to sleep at the end of forty days
and lets the air permeate the ground
for few hours, it has to be begun all
over again.
In the sandy son of the San Joaquin
Valley there is a small proportion of
clay and the phylloxera will flourish
there. 1t is simply question of Wig
ilance in keeping the phylloxera out of
there by backing up the Horticultural
Commissioners and aiding them in
their work of quarantining them. The
insect is not visible to the naked eye,
being as small as dust and may even
be brought into neighborhood ON
ones shoes, but it increases in geo.
metrical ratio that Is startling and there
was not paper enough in the room to
figure up what would be the increase
from one pair.
A number of questions were fired at
Professor Haine, which he answered,
giving much valuable and interesting
information regarding phylloxera and
resistant vines.
On motion of Mr.. Dore the question
of the place of holding the meeting of
the convention next fall was taken up

On motion of Mr. Weinstock, r. d.
Stephens was made Chairman of the
committee by the convention.
Professor Woodwork Of the Univer-
sity answered a number of questions
concerning the vine hopper, asked by
members. He also gave a life history
of the insect and information as to
how to destroy it with nets. The ques-
tion is, he said, are the growers of the
State willing to give the matter a thor
ough trial, as a last resort? They
would not do it last year.
Professor Husman told how they had
last year gone through the vineyards
in his neighborhood at night with
torches, beating the vines and destroy
ing millions of hoppers that flew up
into the flames.
President Cooper said the Rhizobius
Davilis, a minute black ledybird, is
parasite for the vine hopper, as it not
only cleaned out the vine hoppers in his
vicinity, a green aphis on his walnut
trees and also the rose aphis.
Secretary Lelong spoke of arsenate of
lead, which can be used of any desired
strength without injuring the foliage
and remains on the leaves for a. year.
He thought it would probably destroy
the vine hopper, as it did the gypsy
moth in the East. He would advise
putting it on, however, before the vines
bloom.
Mr. Craw thought if the Fresnoites
would thoroughly clean up their vine
yards and remove everything under
which the hopper can hibernate as well
as the vegetation along the roads they
would soon find them diminished.
A long discussion followed, which
continued until the convention adjourn
ed at 1880 p. m. till to-day at $50 a.

The question box was opened and
the first question was, What is the
easiest way to eradicate blackberry
vines in an orchard" and member
said he did it successfully by cutting
them down while in full bloom.
The next question was, IF railroads
are made to compete. is the effort to
do SO to be classed as a penitentiary
offease?" The answer was, no more
than butchers, who compete in price.
Next came, IF, as it is claimed by
r. d. Stephens, the New York and
other Atlantic markets are kept over
loaded, why do he and others persist

Cove Til eatre.


To the Editor of the PRESS:
1 should like to ask the question why it
is that the streets about the new Y. NJ
c.. A. building are allowed by the
authorities to be blocked in the way they
are without the builders providing any
temporary walks for the comfort of
pedestrians. In other cities that 1 am
familiar with the parties building have
to construct a bridge for the benefit of
pedestrians. where sidewalk is encum-
bered. In this city I believe one-third of
the street is allowed to be occupied by the
builder. In the present case great piles
of wood and brick around the structure
cucumber the road way. and when teams
unload their brick instead OF standing
lengthwise with the building they are
placed at right angles so that anyone at
tempting to pass has to go out into the
middle of Congress square. In storm,
like that of yesterday, Jew planks were
loosely laid, and one or two lanterns with
feeble light hung along the way. AS a
consequence pedestrians plunged over
their boot tops into great pools of water
and mud. 10 go on the other side of the
square requires a great detour. 1t seems
TO me that there is a certain regard that
builders should observe as to the rights
and comforts of pedestrians and none
more SO than an association founded up
on principles that teach us to do as we
would be done by.
