STRIKERS WIN AT lRoNDALE.
Recently Opened Plant Closes Down.
Many Street Fights.

Many street Fights.
Pittsburg, Aug. 2S.-Practically the
only significant position in the strike
yesterday was the stand taken by the
American Tin Plate company relative
to it's course in the future. An Off
cial statement from this company de-
MES that there are any negotiations
on foot looking to settlement of the
strike and authorizes the statement
that mills put into operation during
the strike will be continued nonunion.
The strikers have scored a victory
at Irondale O.. At this place the
American Tin Plate company was com
PEELED to close down it's recently
opened plant for lack of men to oper-
ate it.
The day was full of excitement in
the little village and the inhabitants
were wrought into state of excite
ment bordering on terror by street
fights. The first fight took place in
the morning, when five nonunion men
left their homes and started for work
in the mill. On the main street they
were met by party of about 80 strik-
ers, who by moral suasion tried to get
them to desist from their determina-
ton to go to work When this failed,
stronger argument was used and the
men were given drubbing and driven
back to their homes.

Dover Aug. 26.-Mr Holbein, who
yesterday, the anniversary of Captain
Webb's swim from Dover to Calais,
started from Cape Gris-Nez (between
Boulogne-Sur-Mer and Calais) in an
attempt to swim to Dover, narrowly
escaped drowning. He covered the
course to point within six miles of
Dover and then collapsed, after hav-
ing been in the water 12 hours and 46
minutes. The tug which accompanied
him took him from the water and
brought him to Dover. He was carried
to a hotel in semi-conscious, pre-.
carfous state and subsequently on the
advice of his medical attendants, was
removed to a hospital, where he lay
for some time in serious condition.
1t was found that his eye-sight had
been badly affected by the salt water.
Last night, however, he had recov-
cred. and he announced his intention
to renew the attempt
His exploit was very remarkable
considering the roughness of the sea
and has established record.

TIDE OF TRADE HAS TURNED.
Sets In Toward Larger Business at
Good Prices.


New York, Aug. 24.-Bradstreet's
says:
Evidence multiplies that the tide of trade
has turned and that 1t is now setting
strongly in the direction Of an enlarged
business at steady or higher prices Crop
improvement. particularly in the central
west and the Mississippi valley, has been
the handspring of the more cheerful tone Of
ddvices and enlarged fall trade operations
at such cities as Chicago, st. Louis and
Kansas City. Even from the socalled
drought-stricken corn belt come advices OF
a quite good business, in some instances re-
ports being of larger jobbing trade than
in the corresponding time n year ago.
Prices. except for some cereals. have been
generally quiet. Wheat was weak early on
increased supplies afloat, enlarged receipts
at the northwest and technical market con-
dftions farorfng decline, but strength ened
later on continued bad reports from aboard,
fairly large clearances, although not equal
to last week and general belief in present
or better prices being maintained. Corn
has sympathized largely with wheat, though
weakening ON its own account on better
crop adyices from the states east of the
Mississippi, where timely rains have fallen.
Net changes for the week are slight.
Business troubles show no increase the
failures for the week numbering 162,
against 1TS last week.

to the crowd. He appealed to them
to assist him in allaying any violence.
Thls appeal was supplemented by
Judge j. j. Lynch and others. No
sooner had their appeals been made
than several hundred citizens from
the neighborhood where the crime was
committed came up and augmented
the crowd to thousands. They swept
forward upon the JAIL overpowered
the sheriff and his deputies, took the
prisoner and started for the scene of
the crime, IL miles distant, at 1915

out to see the fate of the wretch. A
procession three miles in length fol-
lowed the mob to the Williams home.

scene OF the crime the negro was
placed upon a stump and given

He laughed as he began his state

applied and instantly the quivering
body was enveloped in flames. Fence
rails were pitched about the burning
body and soon life was extinct. The
negro made 10 outcry at any time and
died as stolidly as a stole. There
were no disorderly scenes about the
burning body. At least 5000 people
witnessed the horrible fate of the
negro. Many remained until night

body was entirely consumed. They
then departed for their homes quietly.
