BATTLE IN WHEELING,W Vl.
STRIKERS ATTACK HOMES OF
 NON-UNION MEN.
Over One Thousand shots Fin ed by Both
 sides but No Fatalities Occur and
 OnIy a Few Persons Are Wounded RIoting Continued UnIil 2 o'clock sunday Morning-Poliee PowsrIess to
IuIerfere.

Wheeling, W. Va, Aug. 16.-one of the greatest clashes between labor fac tions in this vicinity that has occurred in the annals of the city took place to-day between the striking machinists and about twenty-five non-union men who took their places in the Riverside plant Of the United States Steel Cor poration. The battle was initiated Sat- urday night but despite the fact that over one thousand shots were fired in the clash there were no fatalities and only a few persons were wounded.
 The maehinists have been out on strike Cor several weeks and the situ- ation was growing desperate for the corporation until they imported about twenty men to take the places Of the strikers. The men have been assaulted from time to time but the situation has not reached an alarming stage hereto fore. The strikers congregated about the boarding houses of the non-union- ists last night fully armed and began an attack upon the places. The houses were heavily barricaded and many volleys were fired into the struct- ures.
 Finally a well-directed shot from within the house wounded one of the strikers and he was carried to hos pital. A spectator was also shot in the left knee, but not seriously. A number of other persons who were in the build- ing with the non -unionists received wounds, which were dressed by physi- clans. The rioting continued until two o'clock this morning, when it abated
 somewhat. The police were powerless 1 to interfere and endorsements were re- quired. About 300 unionists participat- l ed in the riot and a fresh outbreak is feared at any moment
 At ten o'clock tonight the strikers
 who are lying in the hills fired upon
 Peter Silatel, who was passing at that
 point. He was seriously wounded. The
 strikers mistodk him, thinking he was 3 spy,

Buffalo, Aug. 16.-Jack Glenister, the Boston swimmer who said he would dive from the Cantilever bridge and swim the rapids below Niagara Falls to-day, left this city this afternoon with the avowed intention of performing the feat that cost Captain Webb his life. He was accompanied by Captain Donel- Ian, of New York, and Dr. Drummond, of Newark, N. J. The Niagara Falls
 police refused to allow Glenister to jump from the bridge and the swim was postponed. Both ends of the bridge were guarded by police. The other
 bridges across the river were also guarded. When Glenister appeared a police sergeant ordered him to leave the fall at once. The officer boarded a car with Glenister and escorted him to the city line. Glenister says he will swim the rapids some day this week.

The republicans of Alabama

The republicans of Alabama
known as the "lily whites" who
have broken away from the negro
element in politics, are receiving
threatening letters, signed by
nVigilance Committee" These
letters complain of ill-treatment
of the negro, and state that the
leaders of the "lily whites" will
suffer death, their houses and
families be destroyed by dyna-
mite and fire for their actions.
These anonymous letters declare
t h at United States Senator
Pritchard is a marked man.
These letters more than probably
amount to nothing, and as likely
as not have. their origin at the
hands Of some disappointed white
politician. Whether they come
from white man or colored man,
there would be a lot Of trouble
forthcoming if the least of the
threats were put into execution.

The Cabot Guard thinks the
investigation by the legislative
committee IS nothing but an
attempt by the enemies of the
governor to dig up something
that can be used to his injury"
What does the Guard think Of the
things that have been proved
against the governor before the
committee? Ought these things
to iniure him or not? The gov
ernor in not apt to be injured to
any considerable extent, no diff
ference what the findings Of the
investigating committee may be.
He is the only man the world has
ever known who cannot be in
jured. He may acknowledge to
enough things, and he has done
it, to forever bury any other
politician in the Union, and he
grows correspondingly stronger
when the balloting time comes.

He is the smoothest demogogne
that ever raced down the political
pike, and there is no use in
proving that he has done this,
that or the other. 1t makes no
difference.
