MANY COMING BACK
AMALGAMATED STRIKERS SAID
TO BE SEEKING COVER.
BUT OFFICIALS SAY NOT
Steel Men Assert Mills Are Being Run
n-Union-Severa New Ones
Started and Others Sale to Be Only
Awaiting lmprovements-Contest
Over Starting DemIer Plant.

Pittsburg, Aug. 30.-Oficials of the
mills of the steel corporation that
were closed by the strike of the Anal
gamated men stated yesterday thai
they are receiving many applications
from former employees for work. The
announcement of the company that
they would start the mills with non
union men has, officials believe,
caused a weakening in the ranks of
the strikers and many are seeking
cover. The Amalgamated officials
claim their ranks are unbroken and as
strong as ever. Reports from the
mills of the corporation show STEADY
gains are being made in the force of
non-union men. The strikers claim
to have induced six non-union men to
desert the Star mills yesterday and
shipped back to Chicago
whence they came. On the other
hand superintendent Piper Of the Star
plant announced that he is nearly
ready to start the other mills in the
plant and men now waiting for i'm
provements to be completed are in the
mills. In the Painter mills work is
progressing smoothly and no deser-
lions are reported.
The only significant action in Law
renceville yesterday was the success
full starting of the guide mill and Car
negie's Lower Union mills. The start
was made, according to the officials,
with a full crew and the mill will be
run without interruption. The rumor
that the strike would affect the open
ing of the window glass plants this
fall, is pronounced absurd. If there
is delay in starting the glass factory
fires, it will be for other causes. There
is little of interest about the Amalga-
mated headquarters. The cause for
absence Of Secretary Tighe was eX-
planned by the report from Chicago
that he is engaged with Vice Presi-
dent Davis in organizing a new lodge
in South Chicago to take the place of
the one expelled two weeks ago.
The American Tin Plate company
announces it will start the Demler
mills Monday next Amalgamated

cate there is no change in the situa-
ton. Much interest is being taken at

DEATH LIST GROWING.
Steamboat Disaster More Appalling
Than First Supposed.

Philadelphia, Aug, 3O,-It developed
yesterday that the result of the eXplo-
sion of the boiler ON the steamer City
of Trenton Wednesday afternoon was
more appalling than was at first sup
posed Nine persons are known pos
itively to be dead and at least nineteen
are missing, most Of whom are be
ioved to have been on the steamer,
while two of the injured are still in
the hosp'tal and will probably die.
More than thirty were injured
Although the searchers have been
dragging the river ever since the fatal
afternoon they have been unable to
find any more bodies. That there are
more victims in the river is the firm
belief of the authorities and the failure
to find additional dead is supposed TO
be due to the strong current l. the
river at the point where the explosion
occurred.

rather unusual nature. The swamp
abounds in wild COWS. These animals.
of brown color and somewhat small
er than the ordinary COW, having for
many years been under the peculiar
conditions of the swamp, until they
are almost completely specialized, are
extremely wild. They are feraHzed
from the herds Of the farms adjacent
to the swamp, and are the descen-
dants of cattle which many years back
wandered into the Businesses and
were lost to th,ig owners, finally be-
coming wild Being no longer rec
ognized as property the sportsman
may call game all that he may have
the proves to shoot.
Lake Drummond, some ten miles
from Suffolk, Va, is the only great
body of water in the swamp. 1t is
a beautiful sheet of water, of an oval
contour and fringed with a heavy
growth of timber, mostly cypress,
white cedar and black gum. It's
water is of dark color, owing to
the decaying vegetation of the sur
rounding country, but is suitable ia
drink and possesses the quality of re-
naming pure longer than most other
water. For this reason it is often
carried to sea by sailors on long voy-'
ages.
The characteristic mammalian fauna
is of a semi-tronical nature as regards
the smaller forms. while there are
many tropical plants. OF birds there
are not many kinds, prothonotary,
hooded and SWANS MARBLES and
the Maryland yellowthroat being the
principal smaller forms. The trees,
some of which are primeval, are largo
and beautiful, while there is a luxu-
RANT growth of ferns and aquatic
plants Cane crows in profusion.

Minneapolis, Aug. 30.-The potato
market, after giving the produce mon
hot run and touching the high
places for a time, has finally quoted
a bushel lower 1t cannot be said
that there is as yet any special weak
ness in the local market and it was
reported that as high as $1.06 was
paid for a fancy lot at Anoka. Never
theless the market gardeners let go
their lots at a range of IS to 95c.
Eastern markets are wavcring. Chi
cage reports an easier tendency and
in Milwaukee there was lately a drop
of 25c per bushel. Locally it is not
thought serious decline will follow
right away but it is believed the high
points have been seen and that the
market will gradually ease off from
now on as receipts here increase. To
matoes are also lower. A few weeks
ago fancy tomatoes actually sold at
IS per bushel. Since then the market
has been dropping. Now there is an
other slump but even now anything
good will bring 81 per busehl. Navy
beans are very firm. There is said to
be a scarcity and fancy dried navys
are held at 1925 and some dealers
inclined to hold for even better
figure.

THE DISMAL SWAMP.
Some of Its Features-The Bear and

other Game-Wild Cows.
The Great Dismal Swamp is a
region strange and interesting, weird
and solitary. 1t occupies a billowy
plain some 40 miles in length. by rs
miles in breadth, along the Atlantic
seaboard, extending from Suffolk, Va,
in a southerly direction, well into the
bounds of North Carolina,
Its deep shades, great stretches of
brake and its very solitude make it a
region of interest. To the naturalist
and sportsman it has much to offer
In its silent Businesses the black bear
finds a home admirably adapted to
his protection and in every way
favorable to his increase. Here amid
the dense growth of underbrush and
timber he may live in comparative
safety. And there is perhaps no
locality In the whole Eastern United
States Of like extent which can offer
a larger bear population than this
great morass. The white-tailed deer
is also an abundant denigen of the
swamp, frequenting the elevated
parts.

OUTLOOK FOR
THE CROPS

Bottineau, n. D.. Aug. 30-New
wheat has begun to come in The
grain is slightly shrivelled by blight,
but will grade No. l northern and
average 20 bushels. Flax is Of excel
lent grade, and will average seventeen
bushels.
Osceola, Wis. Aug. 3O-While
many have been talking a short crop
this year there is not half as much
danger as at first expected. Although
the potato crop is light, there will be
a great abundance to dispose of when
digging time commences At present
the price is 65 cents bushel. Wheat,
oats, rye, barley and corn will be a
good average yield, some wheat 90
ing twenty-five bushels to the acre,
and oats from fifty to sixty bushels
and well filled.
Dry Weather Wanted.
Grand Forks. N. d.. Aug 3O.--After
rains, the welcome hum Of the thresh-
ing machine is heard in all directions.
The wheat is in fairly good condition,
but would not be damaged by a few
more days of good drying weather.
Apprehension is felt that a wet fall
may ensue. and for this reason the
farmer feels that it is better to threSh
the grain even if it is a little damp
than to run the risk of bad weather.
The outlook for fine weather is excel
lent at this time and should it con-
tinue for two weeks the great bulk
Of the wheat of this section of the
state, as well as that in Polk county,
will be in the elevators and granaries
There has not been enough thresh-
ing as yet to make an estimate of the
yield that would be of value. South
Of the city. where most of the thresh-
ing has been done, farmers are well
pleased with the results. Barley
fields have turned out well. but the
barley acreage is not as large as it
has been in the past. While it is con-
coded much Of the fax is off" this
year, still there are many fine pieces
south of town, and the returns will be
very satisfactory.
There will be more early blowing
this fall than for years past and this
will leave the ground in almost as
good shape as though it has been sum
mer fallowed. The large corn acre
age this year, the returns from which
will be excellent is another factor
that will result in the land being IL
excellent shape for crops next year.

Even at the rate OF transit to b.
