Batch la tiu Bault of Klot at 8 ticket Hollow Mace. Uniontown (Pa.) special: At daybreak Friday the battle which has been threatened at the Stickel Hollow mines of the Washington Coal and Coke company in the fourth pool for the past few days, occurred, and as a result at least three' strikers are lying dead and a hall dozen are seriously wounded. Shortly before midnight 2,000 strik ers assembled at the Stickel Hollow plants, coming from Lucyvillo, Fayette City. f'reeport. Allenport. and many other points on the Monongahela rarer. Homo 01 tnem were armeo, but the majority were not. They went into camp near the plant, where they remained until 3 o'clock, when they adjourned to the public road leading to the works, and over which the workmen would have to pass to the pit. Here they worked a fine of defenses to interrupt the workmen and attempt to get tnem to return noma. According to the plans they stopped the first delegation of miners, and after a little persuasion, induced them to join the strike. The men turned back and about the time they were starting back home with their dinner buckets, the deputies who were on guard and witnesses to the affair, were ordered to snoot. They fired three Tolieys into the mob at a range of only about fifty yards. The first volley brought forth no response from the strikers, who were thought to be well armed, but instead they ran in every direction, leaving the dead and wounded lying in the public road. The deputies followed with two more volleys, and were shootingwhen the last strikers disappeared. The report of the affair given by the officials of the company is to the effect that three strikers were picked up dead in the road after the shooting and about half a dozen wounded ones were carried away by their comrades. The report says six men were killed and sixteen wounded. The plant is so far back in the country that the actual facts have not been received. it it It has long been known that the Four Courts building, situated at Twelfth street and Clark avenue, St. Louis, was in a condition 01 decay. The other day President McMath, of the Board of Public Improvements, received a communication from the Board of Police Commissioners setting forth that the building was dangerous tS life and pointing out that foundations are weak and th walls unsound. They recommend that the building be torn down. The building is an imposing structure of four stories and is said to be an exact reproduction of the Four Courts in Dublin, Ireland, hence Hs name. It is the seat of justice of the city and is daily thronged by thousands.

DOWH TO THK BOTTOM, Never Before Was the Wheat Trade 80 Paralysed. Noror in tho memory ot the oldest traders on the Chicago Board ot Trade has the wheat market been so paralyzed as It is right now. The bears have all they want. Traders dare not buy and the feeling of uncertainty Is to strong In the ring at the wheat pit as to make the body of them feverish and wild. There seems no hope of reaction no prospects for a permanent bracing of the mart, and there Is not an expert on the lloor. boll or bear, that hat the hardihood or the courage to predict The market Is as If It bad been hit to the head with a hammer, and seems unable to recover consciousness. Opinions differ as to the cause of this remarkable movement, that In a few months has carried wheat down to a point that has not boen equaled In nearly seventy years The decline has acted like a debilitating drug oa the spirits of the traders. Money has been made by the bears, but quick action has been a thin almost foreign to the board except In one or two Instances that

-came with a sadden drop In prices and aa sodden a readjustment from purely Incidental causes. The trend of the market hit been and Is that way still downward. About the only ones who are losing money by the conditions however, are the speculators, as very little actual trade Is done by the farmers. PERISH IN THE SEAS. Stoat vessel and Crews Saeenmb to the Fury of the Gale. TJp to nightfall Friday the furious gale bad driven eight vessels on the beach at Chicago, and ten sailors were known to have perished The vessels were tho schooners Evening Star, 0. G. Mixer, Myrtle. Lincoln Dall. Jack Thompson, J. Loomis McLaren, Mercury, and Rainbow. The Myrtle alone lost six men. At Milwaukee the M. J. Cnmmlngs went ashore and seven men were lost, The C. C Barnes was lost, bat her crew escaped. At other points, from Milwaukee around to Ashtabula, O., twelve vessels were driven ashore, but there was not great lost of Ufa The gale was furious and long continued, and every harbor held boats which had pat In for shelter, while outside each port there were many at anchor, the attempt to eater being too dangerous. Still others went op or down the lakes under bare poles before the screaming wind, their crews knowing no rest or safety. The catastrophes off Chicago and Milwaukee were witnessed by thousands of people, and some of the sailors perished within a few feet of shore. This was the worst storm known on the lakes in years, and It came with a suddenness that caught many unprepared, and with no forewarning from the Government signal service. The full list of casualties will not be known for several daya TOUTl OKDEB ASSIGNS. Liabilities Up in the Millions, and Said to Have 81,200,000 m Assets. The Order of Tontl has gone the way of the Iron Hall, the Earnest Workers, and other babbles. The executive committee ot the order assigned at Philadelphia to the Land Title and Trust Company and Francis Shank Brown, the order's attor ney. Although the assets are estimated to be In the neighborhood ot (1,300,001), the liabilities cannot be approximated. President Clausen bad expected the blow, when. upon his election to the presidency, ho began to examine the flimsy state of tbe bub ble, He found that there were 1329,000 of matured certificates outstanding, with others rapidly approaching maturity, and with no cash to pay them without a draft on the reserve fund Be taw that In two years tbe order would be called upon to pay out f7,000,000, and that the very best It could do would be to have (8,000,000 to meet the demand. The order' attorney said a large assessment would not stand the test of law, and to the Supreme officers decided that the only thing to do was to make the assignment. STRIKE DEPRESS IT, Tot Trade Shows Remarkable Soundness lit Spite of Them. B. e. Dun & Ca's Weekly Beview of Trade says: The obstacles to Improvement do not lessen. The strikes of coal miners and coke workers have not ceased, bat hare caused the ttoppage ot numerous works and em barrassment to some railroads The conference at Cleveland exhibited much angry feeling and wider differences than had been expected and seems to render agreement more distant. Proceedings In the Senate do not Indicate that the latest form of tariff revision has made tpeedy final action more probable. Yet the recuperative force of the country It so great that ob servers are constantly amazed at the volume of business transacted, the tonnage being transported, the number of works returning operations, and the general soundnest of trade, notwithstanding Influences which la any other land would produce dire disaster. THIEVES IN AN OHIO TOWN. Ctttarau of Wootter Being Bobbed and a Reward Offered fop the Lawbreakers. For tbe past few weeks a gang of burg lars, thought to be the tame one that operated so extensively in that vicinity last fall, has been at work in Wuoster, Ohio, at tbe residence of W. J. Mull I in, a wealthy coal mine operator. The thieves made a big haul, securing nearly 11,000 worth of silverware, chiefly presents given Mrs. Mull Ins at her marrlaga The thieves picked oat the solid ware and left the plated. Mr. Mulllns offers a reward for the return of the property and capture of the thieves, Awful Fata of Seven Men. Possibly the wont wreck the Chesapeake, Ohio and Booth ern Ballroad has had tor years occurred in Standing Bock tunnel, ten miles east ot Princeton, Ky., Saturday morning. Extra freight train No 002 In charge of Conductor Klnkle, ran into tbe work train, which was graveling near Daw son, In charge of Conductor H11L Midway In tbe tunnel Conductor Hill and six gravel men were killed outright and several slightly Injured. Engineer Jones, of tbe extra freight, saw the danger just In time to Jnmp and save his Ufa. The cause of the wreck was due to either the carelessness of the flagman of the work train xt to Conductor Hill, who was killed. The flagman was left at Dawson, two miles away, to atop trains nntll tbe work train could make the tiding, and be claims he gave orders at he was directed When (track tbe work train was backing through the tunnel to make a aiding a few yards beyond. The extra freight, running twenty-five miles an hour, dashed Into It, completely demolishing four or five can of the work train and the engine and several cars of coal of the freight. Many of the trainmen had miraculous escapes from death, and the accident happened so dulckly that no one save the engineer and his fireman left their train. They were on the train before they saw it, and their escape seems miraculous. Canadians Capture Smugglers. The Dominion Government steam reve nue cutter Constance secured a magnificent prize in tbe Lower St Lawrence. While cruising off Molale sbs taw a suspicious-looking schooner sailing up the gulf and quickly overhauled and captured her, The latter was no easy task, however, as the crew of the schooner, five In number, made a most determined resistance, and It was not Before two of tbe Constance crew had been seriously wounded by an ax la the hands of the alleged smugglers that the schooner was made a prize. In the hold of the vessel were found thirty-six barrels and forty cases of spirits. Coney Oats a Jail Santenea.

Every stratagem failed but one; that one was to apply for a continuance extending beyond tho dsto which would mark tbe termination of Judge theilatn'a term in the Criminal Court. Tlie State J6' sired, if a conllnuanco was to be granted at all, that It should bo until June 18. There was stubbornness on both sides, An agroomont was finally reached and June 11 was entered on the record. In signing that date Judge Chot laln signed the death sentence ot his con nectlon with the case. As was subsequent ly tbown. Judge Chotlaln was not fully conscious of this at tho time.
