IL were in the heart of Africa. There, in
the solitude, with nothing but the old
ocean to hear them-for IL was not until
1874 that Coney island was anything but
a barren waste-the poor negroes waited,
bound hand and foot, till boat would
land from a South-bound ship and take
them aboard in darkness
But there is humorous side 10 every
thing, even to such horrible thing as kid
mapping. And an illustration Of this kind
occurred in the case OF Old Uncle Zeke.

who had strolled among them. After giving
him couple OF glasses Of liquor, OF which
he was very fond, they took him TO bar
ber's, pretending IL was all for joke, and
got his white wool and whiskers all dyed
coal black, so to make him look COM
paratively young and spruce. They then in
duced him, on the promise of more liquor,
to go with them to the old house at coney
island; and, as a boats crew had landed
just at that time, in search of marketable
produce" as negroes were designated, the
dyed Uncle Zeke was offered for sale as a
young, healthy negro.
But as doctor was always attached TO a
boats crew, whose duty IL TO examine

trying ordeal. Being pretty solid-looking
chap and tolerably active, he might have
passed muster had not he stretched out his
arms. By so doing he revealed some white
hairs, which attracted the doctors notice,
and on further examination the cheat was
discovered, and Uncle Zeke, a bargain,
was discarded.
1t might be added that the usual way OF
going to Coney island, prior to 1874, was to
hire carriage or buggy, cross the Brook
lyn ferry and drive along the only road
leading to the seashore. The ride was
pleasant enough but there was nothing at

steamboat Nassau, which made one trip a
day from the Battery, and If she carried
100 persons any one trip ii was thought she
was doing big business. Alderman Mcneil
then a tax commissioner, was one OF the
owners OF the boat, and he was also other

not permit this part of his property TO be
assessed at very high figure. Now there
are dozen ways of getting 10 Coney

PARADE AT SCRANTON.


SCRANTON. Pa, Sept. PA parade Of
1000 slate pickers, runners, drivers, door
tenders and helpers from the mines of
Scranton and vicinity was the feature Of
to-day The parade was planned by Or
ganizer Dilcher 70 show how many chill
dren who ought to be in school were forced
into the mines by reason Of their fathers
being paid such poor wages. 1t was a
sight that would move the hardest heart.
Fully third of the boys in line appeared
TO be about nine or ten years of age, and
inquiry among them ELECTED the startling
fact that not few eight-year-old children
were numbered in the paraders.
A mass meeting followed, at Laurel Hill
Park. at which addresses were made by
F. w. Slayton. of Newcastle, Pa; p. H.
Mccarthy of San Francisco, and c. S.
Conriburger, of Auburn, n. Y, delegates
to the carpenters convention, and Il. ID.
Hayes, of this city. The burden of their
talks was an appeal to the strikers to avoid
being drawn into acts of disorder. The
carpenters national convention adopted a
resolution this morning denouncing the
sheriff of Schuylkill county as a IMAM
slaughterer." The authorities of Pennsyl-
vania are likewise condemned for sending
him troops.
An address was sent to strike headquar-
tiers at noon by President Mitchell, appeal
ing TO the miners to continue their good
behavior and avoid being agitated by ennis
saries of the companies, who would be sent
among them to incite riot.
The Switchmen continue to work as usual,
handling coal without inquiring whether or
not il is union or nonunion product The
presence of the switchmen's grand officers
and their statement that they would re-
main for some time is taken TO mean that
something may yet be done by the switch
men TO aid in preventing the washeries
from being worked. Trains are made up

DENOUNCED BY MITCHELL.
Leader of the Miners Says the Shoot
ing Was Unnecessary.

HAZLETON, Pa, Sept. 22.-All is quiet
and orderly in this region tonight. Presi-
dent Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers
OF America, tonight issued a statement
giving his views on the calling out of
troops at Shenandoah and the killing of
member of mob by deputies at Shenandoah
yesterday. The statement is as follows
From information | have received from
those who have investigated the situation
II appears that the shooting on the part
of the sheriff and his deputies was entirely
uncalled for, inasmuch the strikers had
not injured single member of the sheriff 5
posse; and the circumstances forcibly illus
trate the ruthless disregard the sheriff
and his deputies have for the lives of per-
sons whom ii was their plain duty to place
under arrest If they had violated any of
the laws of the State of Pennsylvania
The Governor in calling out the State
troops, in my judgment, acter inconsider-
ately and without thorough investigation
L am confident that the miners who are on
strike are fully impressed with the neces-
sity of observing the law and conducting
themselves In peaceful manner at all
times
Father Phillips, of ST Gabriers Catholic
Church, who has worked diligently for ar
bitration as means of settling the strike,
tonight issued a statement in which he
comes out fatty on the side of the strikers
In the statement he says:
IF the executive officials of the big coal
carrying companies have been correctly
quoted by to-day's papers, arbitration is
no longer means to the end desired by the
general public, namely. a dscontinuance
of the conflict between labor and capital
There is now no alternative but fight to
the finish between organized labor and or
ganiZed capital Honest efforts for peace
have been throttled and since reason and
justice. and mercy will not be heard the
operator must either arrogate to himself
the title of coal king and sway his sceptre
over unwilling subjects or the miners must
meet the issue by renewed efforts to deplete
production

Toole and his deputies were condemned for
their shooting at Shenandoah. Leaders of
the United Mine Workers say ToOle was
too ,hasty in giving the order to fire, and
that he proved a poor general III directing
his men. This afternoon a mass meeting of
strikers was held at Sugar Notch. The
principal speaker was Organizer Fred Dill

Sheriff TOole, and said If good judgment
had been used by Toole and his deputies
the conflict could have been avoided. Mr.
Dilcher advised the men in the Wyoming
valley to stick TO their good resolution to
keep the peace and not give the authorities
any excuse 10 summon the militia.

SHAMOKIN. Pa, Sept. 22-Everything is
quiet between here and Centralia tonight
The strikers have little to say concerning
tie arrival of troops at Shenandoah. Next
Monday the operators expect to start a
number of collieries here, in which event
there will likely be trouble.
The Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
Iron Company, this afternoon, ordered the
complete abandonment of the Henry Clay
and burnside collieries. The pumps were
stopped and the mines will flood of their
own account. The company warned the
men last week that If they went on strike
the collieries would be closed down. They
gave employment to 1850 men and boys. To
avoid the possible burning of cars by mobs
in case of riots, large number of freight
and coal cars were removed from this
part of the coal field last night and to-day
by Pennsylvania Railroad crews.

pears that the Picking government ordered
the viceroys to assemble a large army and
march it to the north, but as the viceroys
personally were opposed to an anti-foreign
crusade the order was not executed. In
stead of that, one of the officials assembled
an army of 5000 undisciplined coolies, who
marched north a formal compliance
with the order. This action of the Yang

had an important effect in preventing a
general spread of disorder.
