 New York, Nov 15.-Plans are being discussed among some of the impor- tant makers of printing presses Tor tue purpose of organizing a consolidated company, says the Journal of Com merce.

There have been reports from time to time that Hoe & Go might enter the combina- ton.

Serious.
 DARLINGTON, Ky, Nov. 15.-Ad- jutant General David T. Murray, who has been in Madisonville for two days looking into the mining situation, has telephoned the governor recommending that troops again be sent to Hopkins county.
 There is agitation among the union miners over news of the restraining order against officers and members 4f the United Mine Workers granted by Judge Evans in the United States court at Louisville to restrain the un- ion men from camping on or within gunshot" of the property of the mine owners.
 The coal operators, nonunion en- ployees and the business men general ly are pleased with the news of the in- junction and express the belief that general and permanent relief will come of it.
 The action of the operators came as a surprise to the union miners and to everybody else. Most of the union officials are out of the city.
 Organizer Reed, who is in charge of union headquarters, said:
 'The injunction will not injure us in the least. AS far as can understand it is a design of the operators to place wrong impression. on the minds of the public as to the objects of our camps. The purpose of our camps is to maintain our men at less cost than under other conditions Our camps have been fired into times too numer- ous to mention, and on account of this some of our men have armed them selves for their own protection. We are going right along and organizing the nonunion miuers''
 Everything is quiet throughout the strike region. Wednesday night sev- eral shots were fired near the Reinecke mines, but no shots were fired at the mines.

"REMINISCENCES OF YORK.
Valuable Bits Of Local History Pre-
served by a Septuagenarian.

DIR. Maurice Moore In The Enquirer OF 1870.
It was in the summer Of 1776, bat
talon, composed mostly Of men from
York, was ordered to oppose the Cher
okee Indians, who had been induced,
through the Vaccinations Of two
Scotchmen, Alexander Cameron and
John Stewart, to espouse the British
side, and raise the war-club. This
body of men was under the command
Of Major Frank Ross 1t was in July
they took up their line Of march, and
before they arrived at the "Block
House." in the northeastern part Of
Greenville district, the residence Of
Colonel Height, an Indian trader, they
met with the exciting intelligence Of
the murder of Colonel Height-a Whig
the pillaging Of the station, and the
abduction of Mrs. Height and her two
daughters by the savages. In addition
to these awful tidings, they heard the
tale Of the murder Of a son Of Colonel
Height, which caused the heart Of each
brave soldier to beat with sympathy
and a desire to avenge these outrages.
Young Height had heard of the base
purposes Of Cameron and Stewart,
which contemplated a rising Of the
Indians; and having from boyhood
known the chiefs of the Cherokees init
mately, he hoped to have influence
enough to undo the work Of the willy
Scotchmen, and fearlessly went alone
to the Keowee towns, for the purpose
of persuading them against taking
the warpath. He was too late. The
evil spirit was not to be exercised, and
not only were his efforts as peace
maker among them unavailing, but
they barbarously murdered the unof-
Tending youth, who had conhdingly
gone into their midst. His early death
was the more sad, because Of the
broken life and wrecked hopes that fell
upon another. He was aff1anced to
Susan Paris, the daughter Of anoth-
er Indian trader, whose post was at
another "block house." situated where
the town of Greenville, S. c., now
stands.
After the deed of blood, like the wild
animal smeared with crimson gore, the
insatiate thirst of their appetites for
more, must be appeased. The Chero-
KEGS set out to carry horror and desola-
tion along our frontier settlements.
One of their first encampments was
at the house of Paris. He being a
Tory, they looked upon him as friend
q nd confederate and told him Of their
Staying young Height, unfolding, too,
their plan to kill his father and destroy
all his property. The heart Of gentle
Susan Paris was fairly paralyzed by
the unexpected blow Of her lovers
death. But woman-like, she forgot her
own woes to avert disaster and sorrow
from others. Those threatened now
