FATAL CLASH

The Shooting Results In a Mob of Miners
Starting out for Vengeance.

Nesquehoning, Pa, (Special) In a
clash between striking mineworkers and
deputies here Patrick Sharp, striker,
OF Lansford was shot and killed almost
instantly by a deputy.
The shooting caused excitement for
time but order was soon restored with
out any other persons being injured, and
the town is now quiet A deputy, Harry
McElmoyle, was arrested charged with
the killing of Sharp, and was taken to
Jail at Mauch Chunk
The shooting occurred shortly after 3
o'clock. Five deputies we're on their way
to shaft No I, of the Lehigh Coal and
Navigation Company just outside OF the
town In the center of the town tney
were met by number of strikers, who
began persuading them not to go to the
coliery. The officers did not stop, but
kept on their way and tried to prevent
any trouble.
The strikers, it is alleged, then began
to abuse the men and followed them
nearly to the colliery. There are con-
Hicting stories as to what actually
brought on the clash, but just before the
deputies entered the place a shot was
heard and Sharp dropped to the ground
The bullet entered his body close to the
heart and he died almost instantly.
Witnesses say that the shooting was
done by McElmoye, and that he stood
only six or seven feet from Sharp. Only
one shot was fred.
The deputies withdrew to the colliery,
and a large crowd gathered about the
place When it was learned that Sharp
was dead there was the greatest indig-
nation among the strikers and other
town people, and for time it looked as
Il serious trouble would follow.

The Census Office issued a bulletin
on the relation OF patents to manuiac
ures. 1t states that New York, though

he FIRST decade, has since been first in
both, as well as in manufactures. AS
he great Middle and Western States
we're settled they developed manufac-
Nres and also took rank as patent
States The bulletin says:
The period from I84o to 1880 shows
! partial stagnation in patent growth.
For the decade of I84o there we're 174I
patents granted to the New England
States, while in the decade of 1850 there
we're but 1877, a falling off OF Fl per
sent, though Massachusetts shows a
slight gain. For the next decade, thar
OF 1860, the New England States shcw
a renewal OF patent activity, the number
ot patents issued being 5I5I, or an in
crease OF 274 per cent. slightly greater
than the growth OF the country at large
subsequent to 1850 the States all
show a steady patent growth until the
decade OF 1890, when a falling off in the
humber OF patents issued appears in
Maine, Vermont and Nevada. A de-
crease in the number OF patents OF
Maine and Vermont, as we'll as for Ne
yada, is also shown in the 1000 decade
Likewise a falling off in New Hamp-
shire and Rhode Island, with a slight
decrease in Massachusetts, while a re-
duced number OF patents is also shown
TOT New York, South Carolina and
Kentucky.
Though Connecticut shows a slight
increase for 1000, it is but Id per cent,
while the increase for the country at
large. for the decade is 1902 per cent.
On the whole, the New England States
show. retrograde movement during the
last decade with respect to patents.
ne bulletin says that a comparison
q the leading manufacturing States
shows that there is, on the whole, an
approximate parallelsm between inven-
tive activity and manufacturing growth.
