A Swede named Johnson, whose home is la Rutland. Vt. had not been in this country very long, and while at his home in Rutland he wrote a letter and placed a canceled postage upon it. supposing that it was all right. The letter was returned to him and the postal authorities told him that, if he did that again he would get into trouble. Johnson took the matter very much to heart, and worried so that he told some of the men in the stone quarry where he worked about it. The men thought they would worry Johnson still further, so they told him that perhaps be would be hanged for violating the postal laws of the country. Johnson believed them and ran away from Rutland. He reached East Boston, and after telling his story to some of his countrymen whom he met there, threw himself in the harbor. CASHIER IS MISSING. Belief that the.

He fell into the bands of the money lenders, who charged him 2 and 3 per cent, a month interest besides round commissions of $20,000 and $25,090.

OUTLOOK. BOR TRADE. There Is Promise of »n' Increased Consumption of Wool R. G. Dun & Ca’s Weekly Review of Trade says: A point of encouragement is the heavy buying of wool, amounting to 6.492,600 pounds.for the week at three'chief markets. against 4.661.000 last year. In April sales were 21,838,958 pounds, against 16.998.950 last year. As these sales have for years teen in steady relation to the entire consumption of wool. it. Is fair to infer that In spite of the stoppage of some Important works, and In spite of uncertainties as to labor and as to legislation, consumption will continue large for some weeks at least. The enormous unsold stock of wheat, which 'madb'' , a lower average of prices in February, :Mi4rch, and April than was ever known In any previous month, also depressed Mtj.y wheat to the lowest pp(nt on record, nlfhou-hi Western receipts w'tre only, 1,08(1/736 bushels, against 2,488.050 last J*ear, and Allan- i tic exports 1,143,285 bushels, against 1.518,-' 910 bushels last year. Cotton speculators. * who have seen larger receipts from plantations in April than a year ago, have lost faithand grip with favoring accounts'of acreage planted, and the price declined an eighth. The most encouraging sign is the marked decreaso In liabilities of firnu failing, which were only $1,448, 141 for the last week of April, and for four weeks $8,722.708, of which $3.722.220 were of manufacturing and $4,644,367 of trading concerns. The amount of liabilities at the South was $2,919,410, against $3.111,032 in Eastern and $2,692,257 in Western States. The failures for the week have been 233 In the United States, against 216 la.at year, and thirtyfive In Canada, against twenty-seven last year.

RIOTERS SHOT DOWN.

MOB OF COKE STRIKERS MEET WITH BULLETS. Wire* of Striker* Precipitate a Bloody Conflict—Guard* Fire on the AmitotuKxcltement Throughout the ReglonMore Trouble Predicted. Fifteen Laid Low. The coke strike resulted in a bloody riot at the Painter works, near Scottdale, Pa., in which fifteen persons, including a number of women, were •hot, several of them fatally. The trouble was started by a mob of women, wives of the strikers, who had determined to drive out the “blacklegs” at work for the McClure Coke Company. The women assembled about six o’clock in the morning, and with tin pans, clubs, cokeforks, and brooms marched to the cokeyard. Sanford White, mine superintendent: Ewing-B. Roddy, book-keeper, and a lot of deputies were on guard. A shot was fired to scare the women. In less than a minute the men living in th j houses near by rushed to the scene and White opened fire on the crowd, that numbered over one hundred. The affray occurred between blocks of ovens, and at the first fire from White and'the deputies three men fell, wounded. One was shot through the thigh, one through both legs and the third in the neck. The women carried off the wounded, and the now infuriated men set upon White and Roddy, whom they seemed to regard as responsible tor tne shooting. Before a suffitfient number of deputies could be massed at this point Sanford White was completely surrounded. He was brutally beaten over the head, knocked down, kicked and bruised about the body. His recovery is doubtful. While all this was going on the deputies had begun to use their Winchesters, and shot one woman. Roddy, the bookkeeper, was thought at first to be badly injut ed, but he escaped with only slight bruises. There is great excitement throughout the entire region. The strikers are becoming desperate, and mobs are assembling at various,points to raid the plants now in operation. The operators and leaders of the strike predict turbulent times within the next few days.

DEMOCRATS VOTE ON TARIFF.

Senator* in Caucus Agree Upon the Compromise Measnre. Incomes will be taxed and the tariff bill will soon pass the Senate, says a Washington dispatch. By a vote of 37 to 1 the Democratic members of the Senate adopted a resolution in caucus agreeing to support the tariff bill of the Finance Committee, including the compromise amendments that have been agreed upon in the conferences of the last two weeks. The e amendments do not materially affect the income tax provision. The vote in the caucus was as follows: YEAS. Bate, Gordon, Pascoe, Berry, Gorman, Pugh, Blackbum, Gray. Ransom, Bankhead, Harris, Roach, Brice. Hunton, Smith, Cattery, J arvls, Turple, Call, Jones, Vest, Camden, McLaurin, Vilas, Cockrell, McPherson, Voorhees, Coke, Martin, Walsh, Daniel, Mitchell. White—37. Faulkner, Morgan, George, Palmer, NAYS. Hill—l. Absent and Not Voting—Murphy, Mills, Lindsay, Irby, Butler. Gibson—6. The resolution was presented by Senator Gorman of Maryland, the chairman of the caucus, and was discussed at some length, as the session lasted from a few minutes after four o’clock until nearly seven o’clock. It was claimed that the six absent Senators were all accounted for. and assurances were given that they would support the tariff bill. The only persons in whose absence there might be any significance are Senators Murphy and Mills. Senator Mills was not at the Senate during the day. and the call for the caucus was sent to h.is house. It is believed that he has some objections to the concessions that have been made, but he has previously announced that he would support any bill that provided for reductions in the present law. In presenting ti e resolution and stating the object of the caucus. Senator Gorman made , a conciliatory spe ich. He said it was necessary to make concessions in order to secure the united support of the party, and he further asserted that it would need a Democratic majority to pass the bill. Secator Smith said, while he was not satisfied with the bill, and was unalterably opposed to the income tax, he was ready to support the measure with the amendments which had been agreed upon.

PUTTING DOWN THE RIOTS.

Magazine Broken Open and a Quantity ol Dynamite Stolen. A Duluth, Minn., special says: There has been consideable rioting on the Mesaba range. Gov. Nelson cubed out the militia, and latest reports are to the effect that they are quelling the trouble. Word was received fi om Virginia that 700 strikers were marching up and down the streets denouncing the owners of the mines and the men still at work in the most violent terms. Much excitement was caused at Virginia when it was learned that a magazine at a mine near the village had been broken open during the night and a number of kegs of gunpowder and some dynamite seized. About 500 men were out. The militiamen were greeted with hoots and jeers while they were forming in line. The seat of greatest trouble seems to be at the Franklin mine, where the men claim that the wages paid are not sufficient to live on. They have been getting 20 cents a car. At the Oliver and Auburn mines and on the Auburn spur $1.35 to $1.50 day was paid. The men demand $1.65 for miners and $1.50 for common labor. A strikers’ committee was in conference with the owners and managers of the mines nearly all the afternoon and evening. Sheriff Sharvv and the militia have been called to Mountairt Ii on, where an outbreak in which there was some shooting is reported, and preparations were made to move at once to that place, leaving Virginia for the time being to the mercy of the strikers. As tne strike covers much territory it is quite probable that more of Duluth’s militiamen will be called out. The men are in waiting.
