ROCKS AND REVOLVERS.
They We're Used at Tennessee
town Meeting Last Night.

Major John NJ. Brown, the colOred fu-
sion orator, spoke in Jordan's hall on
Lincoln street last night and while he
was speaking rocks we're thrown through
the windows and there was also some
shooting and a great deal of excitement.
Major Brown was the principal speaker
of the evening and when he arose to make
his address there were about 80 residents
OF IennesseetoWn IN the hall- Inc major

just getting warmed up on the subject of
Imperialism when a rock was thrown

the meeting, drew his chair between two
windows and sat close to the wall.

a small grip and produced a large double

piece of rapid firing artillery. Brown
rushed out gun in hand and the crowd

The Offenders had flown and nothing

back to the hall to proceed with the meet

the audience ducked with him.

candidates for the legislature, followed
Mr.. Clark in a few brief and rapid re-

BLOCKED.
Settlement of Strike is Tempo
rariIy Held Up
By Failure of Parties to Agree
on Powder Question.

HazletOn, Pa, Oct. 19.-The settle
ment of the big strike of anthracite mine
workers is undoubtedly blocked by the
question of the price miners will be
asked in future to pay for powder EN-
ployers have agreed to give their men
10 per cent. more in wages than they
were paid before the strike began. but
they insist that in figuring the net ad-
vance of 10 per cent. the reduction to
S1.50 in the price of powder shall be
taken into consideration. The miners
apparently want to go back to work for
the 10 per cent. advance and then arbi-
trate the question whether they are to
get their powder cheaper as an addi-
tional condition. It is not believed that
the mine owners will grant any such
demand, and their refusal may mean the
indefinite prolongation Of the strike.
Since the Philadelphia conference of
railroad officials and operators, Presi-
dent Mitchell ha4 become very reticent,
maintaining an absolute silence on the
powder question. When he was asked
the direct question today by a represen-
tative of the Associated Press whether
another convention will be called to as
certain the wishes of the men on the
newest complication, he replied: L pre-
fer not to answer that
When he was asked what the pros
poets were for an early ending of the
strike, he said:
mo man in America is more desirous
or more anxious to end this contest than
myself, and have done all in my power
to bring about an honorable settlement"
This non-conmittal answer of the
leader of the strike helps to strengthen
the impression that the labor war is no-
so near a solution as it was thought to
have BEEN
The spirit of jubilation that prevailed
in this region on Wednesday has given
way to a feeling of disappointment. This

THIRTY FOR REVISION.
Votes of Presbyteries as Reported Up
to Date.


Philadelphia. Oct. 19.-The vote of the
presbyteries on the question of the re-
vision of confession OF faith as thus
far reported, is as follows:
For revision only. 80; declartory state
ment 2; supplemental creed 80; substi-
tute creed 5; revision and supplemental
creed, 10; dismissal of the whole sub
ject 33; total number of presbyteries
voting 10
There are 232 presbyteries. including
p in foreign lands most of which will
not vote in time for the report of the
committee and there are eight or ten
presbyteries which have only one meet.
ing during the year in the spring A re-
port will be presented by the committee
at the general assembly which meets in
this city next May with recommends
tions. The vote of two-thirds of the
preSbyterieS will be necessary for the
assembly to send down any overtures
on the subject. The presbyteries voting
for revision desire as rule modification
of certain expressions, such as s'elect in
fantS dying in infancy" which they ask
to have changed so as to read infants
dying in infancy are included in the
election of grace"
The majorities of these presbyteries
ask that the revision be along the lines
of the reports submitted by the revision
committee of 1892.
Presbyteries which voted for a decla-
tory statement desire to have such an
explanation of disputed points in the
confession as adopted in Nav. 1879 bv
the United PreSbyterion church of Scot
land, which in connection with the cues
ton of salvation Of infants mas adopted
the following:
I'm accepting the standards. it is not
required to be held that any who die in
infancy are lost"
The advocates of a supplemental creed
do not desire to do anything with the
confession, but simply to add to the
confession a brief statement of calyinis-
tic doctrine IN simple language.

San Francisco. Oct. 19.-The failure of
the City of Pekin to report the ship
Wachusett, coal laden from Newcastle,
Australia, for Kahului, in Hawaii, has
caused reinsurance on that long over

There are 2S men on the Wachusett which

ship Yosemite left the same port eight
days later and reached Kahului August

Ninety per cent is also offered on the

A MOVEMENT


On Foot to Name an Independent
Republican Ticket In knnavhn.
Special to the Register.
CHARLESTON, w. Va, June IT,
There is a movement on foo- among
the dissatisfied Republicans of Kanaw-
ha county to bring out an Independent
Republican ticket in opposition to the
ring candidates f~raudently counted in
at the recent primary election in this
county. The anti-ring men have been
trying to persuade the Republican
county committee to order another pri-
mary election or a county delegate
convention, and have presented the
committee with direct proof of the stu
pendous frauds committed in the pri-
mary election OF May 10Th, by which
the will of the Republican voters of
the county was shamelessly set aside
and the boodlers using Senator Elkins'
money were declared the nominees of
the party. But the County Committee
remains oDdurate. 1t will order neither
another primary election nor a county
convention, and they now say that they
will be forced to nominate an indepen-
dent Republican ticket. They say they
regret to do this, but the ring has by
its despotic methods, driven them TO It,.
They say it would be better for the Re-
publican party in this county to be de-
feated than that this fraud and de-
bauchery in the elections should con-
tinue. The party will have to be
cleansed some time and it may as well
be done this year as any other.
The movement for an Independent
ticket will doubtless take definite form
within the next three weeks.
