STRIKERS
Troops Forced to Use Arms in
Self Defense.
SMALL SIZED RIOT
Excitement High Efforts Made
to Put NOn-Union Men to
Work.

Tamaqua, Pain on encounter be-
tween troops and strikers at Lnnsford
Saturday Captain W. Ell. Helm OF
Company K, Twelfth regiment, was
slightly injured. A half dozen
strikers were bayonetted by the SOL
diers as result of the fracas. Major
Gcarhart, in command of the troops
mere, states that he will appeal to the
military authorities to put the town
Of Lansford under martial law
From daybreak the troops were ac-
tive in quelling disturbances and pro-
tecting non-union men while on their
for the past few days the troops were
jeered wherever they went. The Off
GERS repeatedly admonished the
crowds not to insult OR modest the
soldiers, but their words had but lit
tie effect. At O. CLOCK Companies K.
and E. were placed in two trolley
cars. One of the cars was run in front
Of the car which carried the nom
union men to work, and the other in
the rear.
While passing through Coaldale and
Lansford the soldiers were hooted,
but as no stop was made the strikers
did not make any violent demonstra-
tions. At Summit Kill about double
the usual number Of men availed
themselves of the protection Of the
soldiers and went to work. The pick
cts of tAe strikers made efforts to
stop them, but the warnings of the
soldiers held them at bay.
When the workmen had been loaded
on to the cars, the return trip through
the valley commenced. The word
that more men than usual were re-
porting for work spread through the
lower part Of the valley like wild
fire, and in short time the streets
were almost blocked with people.
When the corner Of center and East
Bertch street was reached, the cars
stopped to allow several non-union
men TO get off. AS they stepped to
the ground the mob made a rush for
them. A dozen soldiers sprang off
the cars and with levelled guns
forced the strikers back, and made
passage way for the non-union men.
| After the soldiers returned after es-
| corting their charges to place Of
| safety the members commenced to
! close in around the Others The
strikers were in an ugly mood, and
| when ordered to disperse merely
yelled louder and pressed closer.
Captain Helm of Company K was
about to jump from the car he was
seized around the legs and thrown to
the ground The privates who fol-
lowed him were roughly handled.
With dubbed guns and fixed bayonets
the soldiers forced the crowd back.
Many of the strikers stood their
ground, and would not move until
| the soldiers jabbed with their bayo-
| nets. Some Of the strikers, fearing
that ths troops would fire, rushed
into the opera house and for time
wild scene Of confusion reigned. In
about five minutes the crowd had
been pushed back to the curb line.
Many of the strikers were knock ed
down while others suffered slight
bayonet wound. Captain Helm was
severely bruised by his fall

Hints From Paris.

Il Paris some of the newest rough cloths for gowns have very handsome borders in self and colored silks ap- pliqued on to the material and out lined with a coarse buttonhole. It will be great season both for embroideries and guipure faces. and gold passe- menterie and velvet embroidered bands are to be seen on the detachable basque mink and caracal coats. Many of the new skirts have the hip yoke and are plaited. the plaits being kept in place by means of some applications of en- broideries.' There are so many new ideas for skirts that one can practically please oneself. for in addition to the plaited skirt there are the three decker the hip gathered tonly suitable. for the thinDest of the winter fabrics,. the pan eled, as well as the perfectly plain skirts. Then again there is the 1890 skirt of velvet which Dame Fashion has set her seal upon. and for trimming it there are the loveliest thread faces, both plain and incrusted with jet. se- Quins or jewels.

N'tH VT Sby
 One Candidate is Named-EIec-
 ton to Be Held This Month
 The city fire department met in the fire house last night and nominated candidates for the offices that are an- nually filled by the department.
 With the exception of the office of treasurer there was but one Domina- tion made. This means that when the meeting is held on the last Tuesday of this month to hold the regular elec- ton. there will be no contest except for but one of the offices.
 At the meeting last night there was nothing done except to make the nom- nations. The department was in ses- sion but few minutes. At the next meeting. which is the annual. the re ports of officers will probably be heard. The ticket placed in the field last night is as follows:
 For chief-C. NJ. Henkel.
 For secretary-Arthur Mullen.
 For treasurer-Sam Frankenberg and Joseph J .Muirhead.
 For steward-Jacob Schmid.-
 Thus far there does not seem to be much of division among the firemen on the office of treasurer, and 1t is probable that one of the candidates will withdraw before the date for the election arrives.
