have been attacked near that
place. Couch WAS captured by
w. j. Nisbet, manager of the
Providence Coal Company. The

ture them also.
The three men have not worked
recently for the coal company,
but were formerly employed
there. The shooting was begun
from an old graveyard which is
covered with II thicket of cedars
and underbrush. The workmen
and their families left Madison

Mr.. Nisbet, with John Orr, one
of his company, Deputy Sheriff
Aaron Fike, c. G. Woodson and

TRIED TO MURDER NoNUNIoN MINER.
A Shst Fired Into Abe psrker's iiome at Nor.
tons Gap, Nv.

An attempt TO take the life of
Il n0nuniOn miner was made ut
M0rton's Gap about 30 O'Clock
Saturday morning after the min
ers had returned from their
night shift.
Some one slipped up to his
front gate and fired Il shot into
the house, which narrowly
missed Abe Parker, the miner,
who sat before his fire before re-
tiring. The shot was from a
large caliber revolver. Parker is
employed by the st. Bernard
Coal Company, and that COM
.pany has offered 5000 reward for
the arrest and conviction of the
party who did the shooting.
It's believed that the deed was
done by some member of the
Miners Union, which has not
been able TO unioniZe the miners
of Hopkins County, either by
persuasion or threats, though
the effort has been sustained
since early last November.
The production of the mines
of Hopkins County during the
last six months has been greater
than during the same period at
any time in the county's history.
The following reward offer has
been posted:

Officers Fired on in Attempt to Rescue the

Following the arrest in the af-

took place just out of Provi-

in which many shots were eX-
changed. 1t was occasioned by
an attempt to rescue from Dep

captured after firing from am
bush upon two wagon loads of
non-union men and their wives
and children, who were ell route

was put in Jail under guard it
was feared that an attempt would

take him from the jail and the
officers concluded to remove him

labor world was demonstrated
recently in regard to the build
ing of the mansion of DR.. J. J.
Lawrence, of St. Louis, in New
York.
If reports are true, the follow
inS are facts;
4 st. Louis contractor is to-
build the honse of DR.. Lawrence.
Several St. Louis concerns Sc
cured sub-contracts, especially
for interior finish. When the
papers were about ready to be
signed, notice came that the
unions in New York refused TO
allow st. Louis concerns to bid
on the work or to carry out the
contract. This action Of the
unions in New York prevented
the st. Louis concern from get
ting the contract.
If the time has come when the
markets of the world are not
open to manufacturing establish
ments because local labor unions
oppose outside labor coming into
a city, then there is something
serious in the situation. Bear in
mind that the st. Louis men EN-
plOy union labor, pay union
wages and stand union assess
ments; yet they are denied the
privilege of going into another
State and following their craft.
If this system is continued, it.
Will soon be that II manufacture
ing concern i'll one State cannot
seek business in another State,
and thus challenge and carry into
contempt the laws of the lald
that nothing must be done to in
terferc with Interstate commerce
or interstate trade.
Only Il few years ago, the great
State Of Illinois, with John Il.
Tanner as its Governor, declared
that miners from Alabama could
not work in that State. When
Robert f.. Lee laid down his
sword ut AppomattoX, these
United States were cemented in
to II nation and the old idea of
State sovereignty was abandoned,
not from principle, but through
the abitrament of the sword.
Yet Jefferson Davis, John g.
Calhoun, Robert +. Lee, nor any
leader of the Confederate forces
ever held such strict interpreta-
tion of State sovereignty Of the
rights of the States as did John
II. Tanner in the case Of the Ala
bama miners working in The State
of Illinois, or as the New York
mechanics declining to allow the
st. Louis mechanics to work in
that State. This is carrying State
sovereignty to degree where
danger enters into the PROPOSE
ton, 1t is destroying the funda-
mental principles of Il nation. 1t
is putting dynamite under the
fabric of our government, and
there is danger in the air, danger
not alone to capital, not alone to
union labor, but danger TO the
very system and practice of or
ganized labor.-Interstate Manu-
facturer.

clamation of Chief Justice Allen reach
ed the magistrates and sherifis, Stump
and IrOncutter, ~ above stated, had
been logged n Jail; but before they
were brought to trial, were rescued
from prison by their friends and neigh
bors, whose fears were excited that
Stump and Ironcutter were to be
taken to Philadelphia, there to be tried,
they "not properly distinguishing be-
tween examination and trial." rescued
them from prison, on the 10Th of jan
uary, and carried them off.
Governor Penn sent Il message ex-
press to the chiefs on Great Island, on
which he deplores the death of the In
dians.
The numbering of the Indians, and
lroncutter, produced great excite
ment, not only at Carlisle, but through
the whole country. The magistrates
and sheriff, it appears, had been cen
sured. But, the general impression
appears To have been, judging from
evidence, that the offic-
ers, sheriff and magistrates did not
favor the prisoners.

For Historical Societies.

There is bill before the Legislature
to authorize County Commissioners to
appropriate $500 yearly to local histori-
cal societies to meet current expenses.
The object is to encourage the organiz-
alton of such societies and to enable
them to carry on the work Of local re-
search. 1t does not impose upon any
county an obligation which 1t is not
willing to accept. 1t does not compel
the appropriation, only authorizes. AL
most every county In Pennsylvania
has enough of historical interest to
prompt the maintenance of a local
historical suciety. There are many
such In existence which have been
kept up for years by private effort.
They have done most valuable work
and the appropriation of $500 year
from the county revenue is very mod
est recognition of the good work done
by well managed societies. 1t Is not to
be supposed, Of course that the commits
sioners of any county are going to ap-
propriate the money to worthless
society.
