LEADFOR BLESSING
Midnight ReveIler Takes a Shot
at the Popcorn Mer-
chant.
BUT he NEVER TOUCHED HIM
Riot Call for the Police May Stop
Late Ped
ding.

Another popcorn merchant got into
trouble Saturday night. David Bless
ing. who operates the emporium fer
ninst the watering trough at the
north end of Market square, is the
party in question, and the only rea-
son he did not stop a bullet from the
revolver of an inmate of an uptown
saloon was because the latter's aim
was bad.
Blessing is an enterprising sort of
business man and when trade does
not come to him he goes to it. To
assist in disposing of his wares he has
installed Telephone. With the aid
of this convenience he is enabled to
fill orders for the hot" at any time
of night and in any part of town.
About . o'clock Yesterday morning
he was ranging about up town with a
basket of fresh popped. There was
large crowd in the saloon at the crner
of Twenty-fourth street and Fifth av-
enue and Blessing sailed in for his
share of the prosperity. Ia short
time he ran against a reyeller in a
bad mood and there was trouble.
Riot Call for Police.
The upshot of ii was that the pop
corn vendcr soon made for the door,
closely followed by the other man.
The latter, seeing he could not hold
his own i'm the race, drew his gun and
when he reached the street blazel
away. Blessing let out yell, cast
his corn overheard and made the best
time he was able down Fifth avenue.
At Bieber's drug store. where he
brought up. riot call was sent in to
the police station. Seldom in the his
tory of the department has there
been such a run as the patrol wagon
made to Twenty-fourth street. There
it was found that the man with the
gun had disappeared. \ couple of the
inmates of the saloon were taken
down, but blessing was unable to
identify them and they We're allowed
to 90.

was an exciting time Ut the Noting
ham mine Of the LehiEh and Wilkes
barre Coal company last night. A
negro deputy came out OF the stock
ade, when, 1t is alleged, he was as
saulted by some strikers. The deputy
shot into the crowd. A bullet struck
Joseph Yarkman, q striker, in the alb
domen.s After firing the shot the ne
gro retreated to the stockade. Soon
a large crowd gathered and they
threatened to tear down the stockade
and take the negro out and hank him.
Col. Dougherty of the Ninth regiment
dispatched six companies to the scene
at once. The troops arrived just in
time to prevent a serious riot. The
mob was dispersed. The negro depu-
ty who did the shooting will be hand

The news from Washington that no
agreement was reached at the con-
ference had depressing effect on all
interests here. Some of the Local OPP
orators who were interviewed think
that the miners, now that all hope of
arbitration seems to be gone, will
gradually return to work. The strike
leaders are Of the opinion that the
struggle will continue and that the
