Clevsland Strike.
Cleveland. June a1.-The EFFORT 10
settls the striks Of the street railway
men IL likely to be successful. and Il
10 now believed that settlement may
be reached today. Through tho efforts
of the special committee OF the city
council the oficsrs of the company and
a committee Of the strikers we're
brought together yesterday to discuss
the ultimatum presented by the COM
pany. The. only question at issue 10
how many Of the old men shall be re-
instated II the strike IL declared on.
On Tuesday the company received a
proposition from the men to the ef-
feet that all the men be reinstated save
those who might be convicted OF de-
stroying property. The company said
1t could not discharge the new men 1t
had employed. At yesterdays confer
ence these propositions were discussed.
At first the company offered to take
back so per cent Of the old men at
once and rsinstate the others who were
acceptable a. soon az opportunity Of.
fered. The strikers committee would
not consent to that. Subsequently the
company agreed to reinstate all but
hundred of the old men, and with that
offer under consideration the confer
enca was adjourned until this after
noon. The members Of the council
committee think settlement will be
reached,

Fired Upon by Strikers and Six Sc
riously Wounded.
Evansville, Ind. June 22.-Negro
miners, to the number Of 30, bound for
the Sunnyside mine, were decoyed into
an ambush and fired upon yesterday.
The strikers received word late Tues
day night that the operators Of the
mine had imported large number Of
negroes from Kentucky and were pre-
pairing to quietly send, them into the
mines.
Large numbers Of the strikers Sc
cretly gathered near the entrance Of
the mine during the night. being con-
cealed from view by large clumps Of
bushes.
The negroes reached here on train
and were hurriedly marched over to
the mine, headed by one Of the bosses.
When the negroes had marched fair
ly into the trap a sharp command was
given and volley was fired.
Terror stricken the imported la
borers fled from the scene, all but half
a dozen, who were too badly injured
to move. James Moore, a stakeholder
in the mine, was shot in the back and
is likely to die. Henry Smith and John
Phillips. both colored. were probably
fatally shot. Ed Geiger. merchant.
Charles Smith, colored, and John Hors-
weather, colored, were each badly
wounded.
The attacking party all disappeared,

VETERANS UNDER FIRE.
The Reason They Don't stOOp When
the Bullets Are Flying.

The Reason They Don't stOop when
the Bullets Are Flying.
1.-THE temptation to stoop when under
fire is almost Irresistible" said veteran,
land that accounts for so many Of the
wounds received by raw troops. You see,
when man happens to be hit in stoop-
ing posture tho chances are that the bullet
plows right through his body from end to
end. On the other hand, If he is standing
erect, tho probabilities are in favor Of the
wound being slight, anyhow not mortal.
Old soldiers are we'll aware Of this, and
while they will drop fiat and hunt cover
every chance they get they never stoop.
"After a soldier has been in few en-
gagements he learns suoh tricks, and, as
far as the rest of 1T is concerned, he be-
comes simply fatalist There Is nothing
strange about it, for almost all his>expe.
riences appear to lend color to that doc
trine. For instance, he never lodges be-
cause he has seen men dodge and get kill
ed when 1t really seemed as II they had
reached for the bullet. In fact, the
strangest things are continually happen
ing, all apparently the pure within Of
chance.
icIAeluDcI Heur UoISOurS hCOIHrhuo
of mine, as brave fellow as ever lived,
took refuge behind a little hut. He was
wornout under fire and wanted to get
moments breathing space Twenty feet
in the rear and little to one side was
pile of crosstics full Of wrought iron nails.
A bullet came along, splintered tie and
drove out one of the nails at right angles.
The jagged iron struck my ohum in tho
side, penetrated his kidneys and killed
him.
"That's the blind chance Of war, and
after getting few such object lessons
fellow is apt to acquire sort of sang froid
that is immensely impressive to recruit.
1t ism It because he has contempt for dam
ger; he has merely learned the folly Of
trying to evade it.''-New Orleans Times

A UNIQUE WEDDING.
French Joe Tied the Knot, and He
Did 1t In Rhyme.

Wild and romantic as any highland
legend or border story is the account of
the first contract marriage in the inte-
ror Of Alaska, as narrated by Windy
Jim" Dodson. who was present and wit"
messed the unique ceremony
1t was on the banks of the Dali river,
a small stream which flows into the Yu-
kon near Fort Hamlin. A young man,
ellis by name, accompanied by Aggie
Dalton, a charming maiden with whom
he was in love, had set out from the
mouth of Dali river to go across the
mountainous divide into the Koyukuk
valley. AS they started up the Dali they
met Dodson, and in the course of CONVEX
sation it developed that tie young people
were anxious to get married, but in that
wilderness there was small chance VI
finding either priest or magistrate to per-
form the ceremony.
~ know man who can tie the knot
said Dodson, land he lives only Il few
| miles from here. His name is Joe Du-
I rant, but everybody knows him by the
! nickname of French joe"
| TO yenrnns hearts and youthful yigor
| few miles in that vast solitude was as
| place. Dodson went with them as guide
and witness The spot was one just fit
for such romantic nuptials. 1t was on a
wild, mountainous slope, by the side of a
clear lake and under the shelter of a
friendly tree whose evergreen branches
dcfed the chill November winds.
Durant gladly agreed TO perform the
| pleasant task, but as he had no law form
or church rituals at hand he devised a
form Of his own and put it into rude
rhyme, having the bride and groom each
repeat four lines after him.
The bride repeated the following:
"Ten miles from the Yukon, on the banks OF this
| lake,
For partner 10 Koyukuk ellis take
| We have no preao her, We have no ring;
| That makes no diference-its The same old
thing"
Drant then tied the knot as follows:
| II swear by my sled pole under this tree
| husband to Agge always will be-
| I'll love and protect her, this maiden 80 hal
From the sour dough toughs the Koyukuh
| trail"
Durant then tide the knot as follows:
| "For two dollars each In chechaco money
| unite this couple in Inatrimony.
| He Is rancher, and she is a teacher

If IT is as reported in political
circles that Rev. Jonathan S. Willis
has been promised the position Of
census supervisor for the State OF
Delaware, it would not do the Re-
publicans any good. We are sur
prised that he, Of all men, should
ask for this position. What has he
done that he deserves it! He, as
much as anybody, prevented Col.
Henry DUPONT from being named
Senator four years ago Is this,
then, to be his reward for Topping
and throwing off the Union Repub-
lican yoke. His usefulness, as far
as influence goes in the Republican
party Is past Heisonly one of the
many hewers of wood and drawers
of water and only the Rev. Jonathan
s. Willis, a much disappointed man
because he was not elected Con-
gresham TO succeed himself instead
Of John H. Hoffecker. We have
been advised by Republicans and
Regulars at that, that the appoint
ment Of Willis will do more to dis
rupt the party than any appoint
mert made in Delaware during the
last four years. If Republican is
to be appointed, there are plenty of
staunch Regular Republicans who
have never changed their affiliations
to the party and went Hopping
around begging for every crumb
that fell from the political table and
which Col. DUPONT is supposed to
lend his aid in securing. Willis
appointment will be a mistake and
we have no hesitation in saying so.

When he was &c. he returned to his ma
tive town "just to sec how tho old place
looked" He found it unchanged. The
old store, where as lad he had clerked it
and sold calico and groceries to the old
farmers, was just the same. He contrast
ed the sleepy old place with himself and
felt glow of satisfaction when he thought
how much those 80 years had done for
him. "They ought to be proud of me"
he said to himself
Presently he met one Of the old inhab-
itants
"Waal I declare, is 1t REILLY you,
