BURNED A TOWN.
Desperate Battle Between Union

Desperate Battle Between Union
and NOn-UniOn Miners.
CARBONDALE, H., July LINTON
City, named from the fact that it is occu-
pied by union miners, was the scene of
a battle last night about midnight. AS
a result the town is in ruins.
The non-union negroes and other men
employed by Brush at his mines near
Fredonia, incensed over the killing of
the negro woman yesterday, went to the
camp which consists of mine houses
and opened fire on the union miners. The
fire was at once returned. The battle
ragged until the union miners ran from
their homes and took refuge in a clump
of timber, close to the village. The non
union men at once applied the torch to
the houses, and all were burned to the
ground.
The men destroyed all property pre-
viously owned by the union men. They
then moved on the woods and until day
light the fusillade was kept up. No lives
have so far been reported lost in the en-
gagement.
The union miners have been reinforced
and the outcome may be a long drawn
out battle. Sheriff Gray, of Williamson
county, telegraphed Gov. Tanner last
night asking for troops and 200 rifles, say
ing he was powerless to queH the riot
Acting Governor Warder Immediately
ordered $50 rifles and requested him to
summon and arm posse. Acting Gov
ernor Warder said he would not order
out troops until the sheriff had exhausted
his resources.
A cOroner's inquest was held over the
body of the negro woman killed yester-
day, and warrants issued for the arrest
Of six men. Sheriff Gray arrested three
Of the men, but when on his way to the
Jail with them, his carriage was sur
rounded by a mob of the mems sympa-
thizers, the horses were cut loose and
the prisoners released.

the pot What did they have? Why,
Steve, he had three Of a kind and a little
pair. Jim had a flush, Joe a straight,
Tom full hand, Sam big flush and the
Judge he had four deuces. That was as
hard luck as 1 ever had. There wasn't

That is something that doesn't happen
often, does it2" I admitted 1t doesn't,
and Ben told me how he had passed up
four tens for q play and had them passed
out on him, and how he had drawn to
a straight flush and made it, and then
lost the pot because in the excitement Of
the moment he had forgotten to discard

Pete is not slow with poker yarns. He
tells a story of how he had a straight
flush beaten by three-card draw, in a
narrowing style that betokens Pete's re-
membrance of the rare event. IT was
playing in a five-dollar limit game" said
Pete. There was one fellow in the game
who wouldn't lay down hand for any
bet 1 was dealing and he was sitting
next me. The pot was opened on the
other side of the table. 1t was raised
before 1t got to me and that made 1t

He showed It into the pot and took three.

me? royal fiush-that beat mine, you

Empire Style Coming In Again.
If one were to judge Of the styles Of
1900 by the tailor made suits shown by
the wholesale suit houses, we should
conclude that they were distressingly
like those Of the season just dying.
But there is another side to the sub
ject. These suits were manufactured
months ago and follow with very small
changes the summer models. For real
novelties we are compelled to look to
the few great retail houses that import
model gowns and wraps and the swell
ladies' tailors and modistes who do the
same. In Paris ateliers there is never
stagnation, and ever and anon there is
an undercurrent Of startling changes.
What is most noticeable at present is
the alteration Of the feminine figure.
The present desideratum is to have
very little shape at all. Corsets are
made with straight busks, which pro-
duce an absolute fairness from the bust
downward. There is no curve inward
at the waist now. Wristbands are
drawn down in front to give that
graceful, sinuous appearance which the
divine Sarah first acquainted us with
and which she exploits to perfection.
In short, the empire style is coming in
again, and this forbids the use Of the
ordinary corset. Instead sort Of
coutil underbodice is worn, and the
waist comes just underneath-the
arms. An empire dress turned out by
Frederique for a leader Of fashion was
cut to the shape perfectly plain, with a
short spencer Of ecru embroidery, and
no stays were to be worn with this
costume.-Brooklyn Citizen.

THE EARTH.

With gathering years the earth has not grown
tame,
| In mans firm clasp a mere imprisoned ball,
Though conquering feet have trodden nearly all,
And even the uncharted has received name;
There still loom heights deserving of mans aim;
Forbidding isles still lie beyond his thrall;
The silent polar doors heed not his call,
And inmost tropic wilds ne scarce dare claim.
Yet, when at last the globe is mastered quite,
Il And prying man has left no incn unscanned,
