The injured were: Police Officer Henry Streeter, knocked down, kicked about the head and body, receiving was I iiKinv severe cuts and bruises Law-

from 12 to 8 cents a ton for heaving coal piece chamber set, decorated brought on a lively riot at the docks of I the O. S. Richardson Coal company, 'Three men were injured, none of them I seriously, however, and it required the presence of 20 officers to quell the disturbance.

rence Vent, coalheaver, badly pounded with a club unknown bystander, knocked down and badly hurt.

Yesterdav was the first of the coalheaving season and before work began on the first barge, the Richardson company announced that it would not pay the old rate of 12 cents, but would cut the price to 8 cents. The union men refused to accept the cut and the work proceeded with nonunion men.

In the afternoon 5500 union men marched to the dock and demanded that the nonunion men stop work. They refused and the mob at once attacked them. The company had anticipated trouble and secured the detail of four policemen to protect their men. Several of tho crowd managed to get in the rear of Officer Streeter, and making a rush on him threw him down and proceeded to kick him about the head and body. They, in spite of the efforts of tli-' other officers, drove all the workmen away from the derricks, and compelled work to cease for about an hour.

The three officers, seeing that they were unable to make any headway against the mob, sent word to the Rawson Street police station for assistance, and in a few minutes 20 officers, under Captain Koch, arrived at the scene. They quickly drove back the crowd, but were compelled to fire several shots in the air to cowe the strikers. A small detail was then left to guard the dock, and the work progressed without further interruption.

The Richardson company declared that it reduced the scale because the men could make $4 a day at 8 cent a ton, and they thought that under the present conditions of business, that was enough for them to pay. Several other coal firms have declared that they will not pay more than 8 cents and more trouble is looked for when the coal season is fairlv on.

Were Dead Knsy.

NOHWAI/K, (J., April 530.—Several of the merchants of this city have been victimized by a sliek-tongued stranger, who represented himself to be a salesman for a company in Painesville, who had 25,000 bushels of potatoes to sell. He offered them lots of 50 bushels or more at 50 cents a bushel and required that 5 cents should be paid in advance on each bushel to pay for sacking. Some of the groeeryinen he approached were easy victims, and handed over $2.50 to pay for the 50 sacks but they never saw the sacks or the potatoes. The man is reported to have worked the same game in Sandusky.

Lortsvu,i,k, April o.—Edward Toor, an employe of the Ren/, & Henry Drug company at Floyd and Market streets, was arrested yesterday by Detectives Harding and Council.

UK WANTS AN INTKHKST.

M. W. Magann, of Anderson, arrived here yesterday for the purpose of buying for Maj. C. T. Doxey, of Anderson, the I. C. Rardin gas well on the Noblesville pike one mile north of this city. It was one of the first wells in this field, but was never of much use as a gas well on account of the large quantity of oil which always came from the well. Maj. Doxey has $15,000 or $20,000 he is willing to expend in developing the Hancock county oil field to see what there is in it. The RKnm.icAN would be glad to see Major Doxey make some investments in Hancock county. He is a developer and an active, enterprising, progressive and successiul business man. Mr. Rardin has set no price on his well but we trust he will do so and make it fair, so that Mr. Doxey can enter on the work ot developing at once.

Thousands of Mexican Dollars.

"It is not often that men have an opportunity to make themselves rich, especially when all tlicy have to do is to stoop down and pocket the dollars,"' saicU' Alfred Louis, an old Mexican soldiers. "I was a soldier under General Scnw, during tho Mexican war, and after s.ae battle of P.uena Yista I found myself cut?, off from my command. Four others oi my mess were witli me, and a detour, through tho woods was taken in liopev of reaching our regiment, from whicd. we had been cut off during the lasP charge. As we tramped through tho thick brush and can-fully avoided stepping on dead and wounded Mexicanswe came upon a stout wooden chest, bound with iron hoops, about two feen square. One of the boys gave it a kick, but failed to move it, and lie then tried to lift it, with no better results. Sticks?-,r-ing his bayonet under the hasp which z. held the lid so tightly, it gave way, and. the lid was raised, displaying thousand* of shining s"J0 gold pieces. "It was the Mexican treasure box., andthe money was to pay the Mexican troops. It had been dumped in the chaparral by the carrier, hoping that it inighr bo secured after the battle. The other boys began filling their bootlegs artd.pockets with the precious metal, lra didn't touch apiece of it. After thfr?:'had loaded themselves with all tha)' could carry they wanted me to help my-? self to the many hundreds of dollars.re* maining, but I considered them the same as robbers. While they were debating~ as to the disposition of the remainder ou2: colonel rode up, and noting the treasure chest placed us all on guard and we lueX to stand there all night watching thai*, box. The other boys secured seventl ... hundred dollars more of the coin, whieUwas carried away next morning, usnd. each man buried what he couldn't yre.-*. veniently carry. "After we were discharged the boys returned and secured their treasure, whisii. amounted to about $2,700 apiece. 1 dorrt. think I would let such a chance to ga th^rr money slip again, but I am now an old" man, and that was my only opportunity in a lifetime."—St. Louis Republic. _/

Trees En French Cities.

One of the chief beauties of the Larger French cities and second only to thoi": edifices and monuments are tlie trees. The almost interminable vistas of che&tnuts and acacias stretching along tho broad and well paved avenues as la.r 3'j the eye can roach, their bending br:iU' he£ one anoi her in an onddure, form not only delightful perspective for tho eye, buserve to add beauty to cities already beautiful and grace and symmetry t.: whatever might be harsh aud forbidding.

This, however, is not the result of nature's handiwork alone, for science ami art have lent their aid. The planting, as well as the maintenance of the treet1 in French cities, is an item of no lit173 importance in the annual budget prepared by tho municipal council, which, does not look upon their preservation at of less consequence than tho repairing of the roadways or the lighting of the-' streets.—London Times.
