No Coal Strike This Year.

Pottsville, Pa, August 3.-High officials Of
the United Mine Workers state that though
there may be serious trouble at the meeting
of the Cancellation Board here next Thurs
day, there will be no general anthracite strike
before the Presidential campaign,if then.
The miners are becoming very impatient
over the apparent inability Of the Concilia-
ton Board to settle the differences that exist,
but they realize that even If the questions
now pending fail Of solution bthls Is not a
good time to strike. During Presidential
year, according TO their expectations, -politi-
cal complications will make victory for the
miners certainty, in theevent Of a general
strike. -gf
Though no general strike seems in pres
pect the big coal companies have begun 10
store the smaller sizes Of anthracite. Officials
of the Reading Company say that the amount
Of coal mined this summer will break all
records.
Steady. work has greatly improved the con-
dition of the miners as well as Of the operat-
ing companies, the only sad feature being
the fact that within seven months there have
been over 100 fatal accidents.

SENATOR GORMAN.

Senator German arrived at New York on
Saturday evening from Europe and reached
his home at Laurel, Nd, yesterday evening.
The New York newspapers Of yesterday oil
gave prominent position and much display
10 the news Of Senator Germans homecom-
ing and made a decided feature out Of the in
terview he gave to the reporters on Saturday
afternoon Just before the liner New York
docked and landed her passengers; The
Herald, in handling the story, publishes the
Senator's pictures and in glazing type pro-
claims. Senator German comes home to ind
he has Presidential BOOM" Beside the in
terview, the Herald publishes an exhaustive
article on the present condition Of the demo
cratic party and Senator Germans position,
giving him credit with being the dominating
factor in the situation rs it now stands. The
Times, Tribune, Sun and other papers Of the
metropolis all attach great Importance 10 the
Marylander's declarations, especially to those
expressions relating to the race question, the
pOst0ffice frauds, the issues TO be advocated
by the democrats next year and his own pros
poets for the nomination. The same thing IS
true Of the Philadelphia newspapers, which
last night ordered from their New York cor
respondents exhaustive stories on German, to
be sent by wire and to be supplemented by
mail with still more exhaustive matter for
publication today.

The Powers Trial.

Georgetown, KY Aug. 3.-"The COM
monwealth is ready to give Caleb Pow
ers a third trial for his life for the as
assination of Governor Goebel," said
commonwealth attorney Franklin,
when he arrived here from Frankfort
this morning, "and l will insist that it
be gone into at this special term" The
attorneys for Powers are in conference
with him at the Jail this morning, and
are now ready to say what they will do.
They may ask a continuance to the reg
ular October term of court. 1t is thought
Judge Robbins will override any such
motion. A host of witnesses came in
last night and this morning Among
them is Frank Cecil, Of Bell county, the
star witness in the last Jim Howard
trial. He now halls from Oskaloosa,
Kas., at least that is where he registers
from. Powers has been tried twice on
the charge of completely in the assassina-
ton of Goebel and was twice sentenced
to life imprisonment.
The special term of the Scott County
Court was called to order at l o'clock.
The commonwealth called about fifty
witnesses in the Powers case, over half
of whom answered, and Commonwealth
Attorney Franklin answered ready for
trial. The defense withdrew for a confer
ence. Among the defense witnesses are
about thirty who have never taken the
stand before in the case. Fully dozen
of them were defense witnesses in the
last trial of Jim Howard, who was given
a life sentence for alleged completely in
the Goebel murder.

THE RICHMOND STRIKE.

Ernest Mcdowell, the bric&layer, who
was charged with throwing brick at a
car. was in the Police Court inRichmond
on Saturday but the hearing was con-
tinuod until Tuesday. Mr.. Mcdowell
was bailed on the sum of 81, 900.
County officers are constantly on
duty at night guarding the trestle on the
Seven Pines Railroad not far from Rich
mond against any possible designs by
murderous strike sympathizers. FIVE
officers are located in the vicinity Of the
trestle. which is about forty feet high,
watching the trestle and vicinity to pre-
vent any attempt to wreck the bridge
with dynamite while a car is passing
over it. Indications have been discover
ed that some attempt to destroy the
bridge was in contemplation.
The jury in the Solomon case was I'M
able to agree, and, after long deliber,
alton, it so reported to Judge Sims, and
was discharged by him on Saturday
afternoon. The sheriff will undoubtedly
be tried again, but the details Of the
next trial have not yet been arranged.
Aggregating the total expense on ac-
count of the military duty in Richmond,
it now appears that the grand total VIII
reach the sum of $65, 500, and possibly
$50, 900.

MOB AFTER A NEGRO. An atteml

MOB AFTER A NEGRO. An attempt
was made to lynch negro, named Bert
Hazelock, in the quiet old city of AL
bany, N. Y, yesterday afternoon, but
the intended victim was protected by an
officer with a drawn revolver. The affair
developed from street brawl and the
extent of the negro's injuries is an arm
shattered with a paving stone. Two ne
gres fighting caused it all. A white
man, named John Scharf, tried to sep
arate them, whereupon he was attacked
by Hazelock, who drew razor and
slashed the man in the back. A crowd
of some 80 white men attracted by the
brawl made a rush for the negro, who
ran down Third street, where the affair
had taken place. Cries of "lynch the
niger p we're heard. One stone,
which was throne by one of the mob,
struck him on the arm, SCATTERING it and
telling him to the ground. Trembling
with fear the negro regained his feet and
continued his fight, followed by the
crowd, which had grown to 200. He
ran into a house on Second avenue, near
Swan street, frightening the women oc-
cupants and boiling the door to save
himself. The crowd had surrounded the
house when Officer John Begley arrived.
He went into the building to arrest
Hazelock. Begley drew his revolver
and kept the crowd at bay until the ar
rival of several other officers, who es-
corted the negro to the station house,
where he was locked up.

Rloody Onslaught.

BnfaloN. Y, Aug. 3--Forty-two men
under arrest, two of them with terrible
wounds, is the result of furious on
slaught by a gang of Italians upon the
scoopers of the Niagara Elevator Com
pamy this morning. The ARRAY occur
red at 1880 o'clock in Ohio street and
was between 200 Italians and score or
more of the employees of the Niagara
Elevator Company. Just how the
trouble started is unknown and 1t is as
serted by some witnesses that the ltal-
ians commenced the attack without
proyocation. On the other hand, 1t is
claimed that number of grain scoopers
who we're lounging near the eleya-
tor called "scab' to the Italians.
The latter were marching in a
body 200 strong, along Ohio street,
and it is presumed that they
were headed for the Buffalo Union Fur
mace Works. Whatever the provocation,
instead of showing timidity, the Italians,
drawing pistols and knives, rushed al
the scoopers. The scoopers numbered
about % and for a moment with sticks
and stones they attempted to hold their
own. but the crowd coming against them
was too strong. Backed as it was by
numbers and firearms and knives, II
swept the scoopers before it. In
whirlwind of frantic rage, the Italians
cut and thrust and kept up fusilade
with their revolvers, the scoopers mean
time being forced to seek shelter in the
elevator, in and under freight cars and
behind buildings. Scores of windows
were broken and how seriously some Of
them injured is not known. The ltal-
ians scattered at sight of detachment
of nnlicemen
