Pittsburg, Aug. 9.-The strikers are
continuing orderly and are gaining ac-
cessions to their ranks constantly. Ihe
$50 men employed at the Homer "
Roberts coal mine at Elizabeth nave
refused to go to work, and ABOUT 20
miners at the Equitable mines, III the
same locality, also struck.
The company leased the ground
where the strikers located yesterday
and ouSted them, but another field has
been secured by the strikers, which the
owner refused to lease to the company
and a permanent camp will be estaD-
liShed.
Saturday was pay day at Sandy
Creek, and when the strikers demand
ed their pay they were told that mas
much as they had broken their iron
clad contract no money whatever was
due them The legality Of the contract
will be tested in the courts.
A special from West Newton says.
The sympathy of the entire commune
ty is with the striking miners. The
use of a large building on Third street
has been been given free for q COM
missary and the townspeople and
farmers have contributed provisions
literally
simultaneously with the move on
Nestmoreland county mines this week
a demonstration will be made against
the Washington Run mines in Fayette
county, More than 400 miners are or
ganized in Fayette City and are ready
to march.
The application for q preliminary in
junction to restrain the miners from
Congregating near the mines at Turtle
Greek is likely to be presented to-day
by counsel for the New York & Cleve-
Land Gas Coal company. This new
move is to be made for the purpose OF
getting the aid Of the United States
marshal as we'll as the sheriff of Allie
gheny county to break up the camps
the strikers have established.
Pending developments the miners in
the three camps besieging the De Ar
mitt mines are resting. At no time
during the strike has the situation
been so critical, but no one who has
been in the district every day since the
commencement of the marches be-
lieyes that the miners will be drawn
into a fight If trouble does come it
will not be between the strikers and
deputies, but between the strikers and
the negroes in the camp at Unity, who
are employed on the new Pittsburg ~
Bessemer railway. The deputies will
be drawn in to Quell the trouble, and
a three-cornered fight is not improba-
bic. The strikers camp is separated
from that of the negroes by a town
ship road. Already there have been
several brawls between the two
parties. The negroes are walking
arsenals. while the strikers have no
weapons.

Among the citizens who are worse
than worthless are the Cubans who
have been naturalized in the United
States for the purpose of using their
citizenship here as a shield while plot
ting against the Spanish government.

impossible to know; but Spain is max
ing only a reasonable request when she
asks the United States for an agree
ment that will prevent naturalization
for such a purpose. No one who has.

One of the worst things about whis-
ky drinking is that it catches 'em COM
ing and going" to use a somewhat
slangy expression. In prosperous times
the tippler tipples because he thinks
he can afford it,; in dull times he tries
to drown his dependency in drink. 1t
seems that the per capita consumption
Of whisky in this country last year was
larger than in any twelvemonth within
the last quarter of century.

Since the refusal of the Boggs Run

THORN SENTENCED.
Murderer of Guldensuppe to Die
Early in January.

Murderer TO
Early in January.
NEW YORK, Dec. 3-Martin Thorn,
or Torceswisky, convicted on Monday
of the murder of William Gulden-
suppe. was today sentenced to be cleo
trocuted in the week beginning Jan. 10,
1898
When Thorn was brought into court
in Long Island City he stepped as
briskly, walking between two officers,
as he had done on the days when he
was on trial. He preserved the same
calm, impurturbable expression of
countenance that he had worn at every
crisis in the working out of his fate
during the trial and when, as a pre-
liminary to the placing of the sentence
of death, Justice Maddox put the Gus
tomary questions to him. he responded
promptly, collectedly and without out
ward evidence of emotion.
MY true name" said the murderer,
sis Torceswisky I was born in Ger
many and am thirty-five years old I
am a barber and have never been in
prison before. 1 was brought up in the
religious belief of the Roman Catholic
church. I can read and write. My
father is living. [ am not married.
Then Judge Maddox proceeded to
pass sentence solemnly and impress
lively. He said:
Thorn you were indicted charged
with having premeditated and deliber-
ately designed and caused the death of
William Guldensuppe. You have had a
fair trial. in the course of which you
were defended by the abIest and most
astute counsel. They could not have
done more for you. Every effort was
made by them to save you. After that
the jury found you guilty Of murder in
the first degree and the punishment
for that is death.
Reflect upon it. Reflect upon the
death of him whom you slew. It is
the duty of the court to fix a time for
the execution1-the law pronounced the
punishment. II shall give you a rea-
sonable ti1ne-theilaW permits me to do
that. 1t is needless for me to state
anything touching the facts in this
case, more than5to say that the evil
dence justifies the verdict.
1.-THE judgments'ef the court is that
you shall be taken hence to the state
prison at Sing Sing within reason
able time andS that there you shall be
executed in the form prescribed by
law in the week beginning Jan. 10,
1882 Is
Thorn listened without moving
muscle, and when the Judge had fin
ished he inclined his head slightly for
ward as If bewing to the court. The
prisoners lawyers then handed up an
afidavit applying for an appeal. JUS
tice Maddox took the affidavit and will
pass on 1t later
After consultation with Judges Mad
dox and Smith, District Attorney
Youngs has decided, it is said, to ac-
cept a plea of manslaughter in the
first degree for Mrs. Mack, the accom-
pIice of Martin Thorn in the murder
of William Guldensuppe, according to
the Herald. The extreme penalty for
this degree of crime is twenty years
imprisonment, with a communication Of
seven years and seven months.
