RIOT AT SCOTTDALE, PA; A Bloody Battle at the Palnter Coke Works Between Deputles and Strikers two of the Derenders Probably Fatally Injured, and at Least s Score of the Iioters Reported Shot Down with Win chesters-Worse T'ounble Feared. CONNELLSVILLE, Pa., May 5.-A riot at the Painter works, near Scottdale, resulted in the wounding of ten strik ers and serious injury to Supt. White and E.B. Roddy,the book-keeper of the company. White and Roddy were ter ribly beaten by the mob and both may die. The plant started up at 3 o'clock with about one-half of the complement of men. Two hours later the strikers began to assemble near the works. Some of the men became Trightened and went home, but most of them re mained. About 6 o'clock a committee was sent into the mine to request the men to come out, and, upon their refusal, the mob, headed by a score or more of women, attacked the plant, Roddy, assisted by a dozen depu ties, stood guard, and when the mob caime up with a rush, White fired point blank into their ranks. A Hungarian woman fell with a bullet in her thigh. Maddened by this, the mob, which numbered a couple of hundred, closed in on the deputies, who, driven into close quarters, and blinded by the shower of missiles, were unable to use their Winchesters After emptying their revolvers, they fled and the mob surrounded White and Poddy. A burly Hungarian attacked the latter with a hatchet, felling him to the ground and was about to deal the deathblow when James Tarr knocked the Hungarian down w ith a club. White was dragged into the engine house to escape the fury of the strikers. By this time the depu ties rallied and three volleys were fired in quick succession, forcing the mob to retreat over the hill in utter rout. A number of strikers were carried from the battlefield, and it is believed they were killed, Dr. W. H. Cole, the company physician, states that fifteen strikers went down in the three charges. These men and one woman were carried off the groutnd after the first charge, and when the mob finally retreated they bore away at least ten more. Three of them were left near the works. One of them was shot through the thigh, another through both legs, and the third had a had wound in the groin. The affair has caused the most in tense excitement here. It is feared the foreigners will avenge the death of their countrymen, and that this is but the beginning of riots in all parts of the region. It would not be a sur prise to the people here should the strikers resort to the use of dynamite to blow up the works. Supt. White was taken to the Con nellsville hospital, and it is thought he will not survive. Ewing Roddy was brought to this city and cared for. The foreigners were car ried to the adjoining houses and cared for by Drs. Rogers and Fetters. Sher iff Richards of Fayette county is upon the scene of the battle with forty men armed with Winchesters, and has al ready arrested four persons charged with being implicated in the riot. The Casualties Not so Namerous as Thought-Further Trouble Feared. SCOTTDALE. Pa., May 5.-Sanford White, the deputy sheriff who was so badly beaten during the riot at Paint er's, is at his home in Connellsville, and it is thought he is fatally injured. E. B. Roddy, the bookkeeper, is not as seriously injured as was at first sup posed, and will be able to leave his home in a day or two. It appears now that only three of the rioters were shot, two of them being arrested. The operators are still determined to start their works and the strikers are as determined to prevent them if pos sible. The district officials have re ceived no reply from the operators to whom they sent letters inviting them to meet this morning at 10 o'clock, and the indications are that there will be no conference. The operators now claim that twen ty-four of the plants made idle by the strikers will be started, but the labor leaders claim that the strike remains practically solid from Fair Chance to Mount Pleasant. Those who have re turned to work are nearly all English speaking men, and this fact further enrages the foreign element, who are determined to remain out to the end. Late last night it was reported that Blainey's men at Moyer had decided to quit work. There will likely be trouble at this and other plants to-day. AN ALARMING SITUATION. Striking Cokers Assembllng Bent Upon Mischief-The Excitement Intense. CONNELLSVILLE, Pa., May 4.-The sit nation is very alarming in this section of the coke region to-night. Mobs are assembling in the Vanderbilt region and at the Moyer plant, preparing for an attack to-morrow morning The formidable display of deputies in those sections last night frightened the strik ers. and they concluded to wait a more favorable opportunity. To-nightthey sounded the tocsin for the reassembling of the mob, and the strikers are gath ered at the points agreed upon. The companies have armed a large force of men, and are fully prepared to repel the attack. The Dunbar Furnace Co. will at tempt to fire up :Hill Farm plant to morrow morning. Their stock of coke is exhausted and the works must be fired up or the furnace banked. A large force of armed men will go to the works at midnight. The workmen will go to work at 3 o'clock in the morning but no trouble is expected be fore 5 or 6 o'clock. The Dunbar strikers have been tie most determined in resisting the tempts of the operators, and will mae an attack if Hill Farm is fired up. The Painter riot has stirred up tie foreign elements The Huns and Slavs are maddened at the slaughter of their countrymen and have become bloodthirsty. They have resolved upon revenge. One of the leaders admitted this evening that the most bloody scenes of the strike are yet to come. A Big Claim. WEST SUPERIo, Wis., May 4.-A claimant for property in the East End, amounting to $500,000 in value, is in this city. He is Alexander Campbell of Muskegon, Mich. He claims that his father, Charles Campbell, and his brothers, John, Edward and Robert preempted the land in what is now the townsite of Superior, in 1847. He says his father and uncles removed to Southern Minnesota in 1858, and all are dead now.

A Long List of Adverse Conditions Calcu lated to Depress Business, Borne Up Against by the People of the United States. Sustained by at Sublime Faith in the Future of Their Country. NEW YnRK, May 5.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade, issued to day, says: It is now, as it has been for nearly a year, the amazement of intelligent observers that the United States suffers so little from the re verses which other lands share, but which fal more heavily here than anywhere else. The past week has seen crevents which would suf fice to cause or to explain much disaster, such as strikes of all bituminous coal mines and coke workers. with numerous riots; strikes of many thousands of men in other employm ants; stoppage of many manu facturing works in consequence; arrest of traf fic on s-veral great railroads by lawless pro ceedings, antdt :i' marcl, of discontented mtn, ih all numterti ?z s vera! thousand'.toward the hational capital in the hope of controlling leg islation; the lowest price ever known for Wheat, and almost the lowest prices ever known for comn-::lmoities as a whole: exports of $5.400.003Jgo! inst 'ad of abnormally cheapened prospects. and the fall of the treasury gold re Serve 1 clow the 10X0.i000.000 limit are significant of w idespr-ad difficulty. Yet the volume of business is but 31 3 per cent. less than a year ago. and in some directions signs of improve ment appear even now. and the sublilme faith of the people in their future is shown in the general belief that the strikes and disorders will quickly:disappear. Favoring weather has brought a dis tinct change in reports as to condition of winter wheat and as to acreage in corn and cotton. It is also important that prices of iron and steel prolucts promptly advance, in answer to the stonp age of some works through strikes. since it Indiccates that the recent im provement in the apparent demand was of a substantial character. At Pittsbiurgh, Chi cago, Philadelphia and New York. prices have generally advanced, though ir regularly, and in bar iron quota tions appear a shade weaker. Bessemer pig has advanced 75 cents to $1, steel billets $1 to 11.50, and plates and structural iron and steel and wire rods are stronzer. Many reason that the advance may be maintained, at least for a time, because cost will rise if strikes succeed, and if they fall, because of the demonstrated existence of a demand, sub stantially equal to the full product of works thus far started. The shoe industry, which has fallen behind the shipments of last year only 12 per cent. in April, is somewhat less active than of late, but a fair business is reported in heavy shoes, and some improvement in the demand for women's wear. Another point of encouragement is the heavy buying of wool, amounting to 6.192.r00 pounds for the week at the three chief markets, against I4661.O00 last year: and in April sales were 21,8.,90b9 pounds against 16,903.91iC last yv-ar. As these sales have for years been 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 leg islation, consumption will continue large for some weeks at least. The enormous unsold stock of wheat, which has made a lower average of prices in Febru ary, March and April than was ever known in any previous month. has depressed May wheat tothe lowest point oli record. although west ern receipts were 1,0)0,736, against. 2,488.050 last year. and Atlantic exports 1,113,2085. against 1,518,910 last year. The decline for spot has been slight, with no change for July. Corn yielded a quarter. exports falling suddenly below, while western receipts nearly doubled last year's, and pork products were lower. Cotton speculators. who have seen larger receeipts from plantations in April than a year ago. have lost faith and grip with favoring accounts of acreage planted, and the price declined an eighth. Railroad agreements promise better things. as usual, but the gross earnings of all roads reporting in April were 13.7 per cent. less than last year. following a decline of 15.6 in March and 11.6 in February. Such returns are but moderately encouraging. It is more impor tant that the Great Northern strike has eided, and that vigorous action by the au thorities prevents interruption of other lines by bands of tramps. In view of strike. and gold exports it is evidence of much confidence that railroad stocks have declined only 13 cents per $1 ti dnriun the week, while reports at out legislation have lifted trust stocks 87 cents. notwithstanding legal proceedings begun in Illinois and threat-ne I here. Money markets have not been disturbed by the large outgo of gold, which was taken mainly from the treasury through redemption of notes. The continued flow of unemployed money hither is not a sign of health, nor the outgo of gold. instead of wheat at 61 cents. or cotton at 7.3. The demanl for commercial loans of the better class does not increase, but there are more numerous applications for loans on questionable paper from the interior. A CRITICAL SITUATtON. The Miners Along the Mesaba Range Only Kept from Violence by the Pres enre of Troops. VInalsIIA, Minn.. May 4.-The situa tion is still critical along the Mesaba range, but the miners have kept them selves in the background to-day in the face of state troops and St. Louis county deputies. The one exciting event of the day was the departure of thirty miners, armed with rifles- a% d shotguns, for Mountain Iron, for the purpose of preventing the opening of the mines there. A telegram from that point to-night says they were suc cessful in this. A company of state militia will go to that point to-morrow morning. The men at the Olive mine and Drake & Stratton's went so work under pro tection this morning, and have not been molested. The strikers are ugly and are restless and nervous. They are mostly Finlanders and desperate. The miners have threatened to blow up the militia with dynamite during the night, but Capt. Bidwell haas out such a strong picket line that it will be impossible for the strikers to reach the main body of the men. The Franklin mine men say they will organize as soon as the troops leave and shut down all the Mesaba region mines again unless their de mand for $1.50 a day is granted. Do Not Want to Strike. BIBIWAK, Minn., May 4.-There is no strike in this locality. There was some talk of the Virginia strikers com ing over here to force the Canton min ers to quit, but they have. not ap peared. Although the wages are small the Canton miners do not want to strike. The Ashland District. LEXINGTON, Ky., May 5.-An effort is being made to find out the standing of the candidates for congress from the Ashland district, and a poll at Paris resulted as follows: Owens, 155; Breck inridge, 60; uncertain, 17. Bourbon county will be the most strongly-con tested county in the district. At North Middletown, in the same county, the poll resulted: Owens, 45; Breckinridge, 9. It is thought E. E. Settle will with draw from the race after next week. The polling here shows a majority for Breckinridge, but his friends realize that his re-election is doubtful. Anarchlsts Farnara and Polti Given Twenty and Ten Years Respectively. LONDON, May 5.-In the Central criminal court (Old Bailey) Joseph Farnara, the Italian anarchist, who pleaded guilty Thursday, was sen tenced to twenty years' imprisonment at hard labor. Francis Polti, his companion, was found guilty and sen tenced to ten years' imprisonment. After his sentence was pronounced, Farnara shooted: "Vive l'anarchie." He was at once seized by the court oiB ers and removed. He struggled hard to free himself and endeavored to 41ak1ea Pa buit was prev.q4t). SPRINGTIME BLOOM.

He says: "I was a greatsufferer from dyspep sia, and I had sufered so long that I was a wreck; life was rendered undesirable and it seemed death was near ; but I came in contact with Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and his' Pleasant Pellets.' I took twelve bottles of ' Discovery,' and several bottles of the ' Pellets,' and followed tho hvgenic advice of Dr. Pierce, and I am happy to say it was indeed a cure, for life is worth living now." For dyspepsia, or indi tion, "liver com plaint," or tirpid liver, biliousnes, constipa tion, chronic diarrhea and all derangements of the liver stomach and bowels, Doctor Pierce's GolGen Medical Discovery effects perfect cures when all other medicines fail. It has a specific tonic effect upon the lining membranes of the stomach and bowels. As an invigorating, restorative tonic it gives strength to the whole system and builds up soid-en. to the healthy standard, when re duced by "wasting diseases." Mr. J. F. Hudson, a prominent lawyer of Whitchetville, Sebastian Co. Ark., writes: "Having suffered severely, for a long time, from a torpid liver, indigestion, constipa tion, nervousness and general debility, and ning no relief in my efforts to regain my health, I was induced to try Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and 'Pleasant Pellets.'

Watch the way your children close their teeth, says a dentist. The lower jaw should close inside or at least even with the upper. Many do this natur ally, many more must be taught, and the sooner the easier. There is no fact in artistic dentistry more important than this. To retain the true facial lines is one of the chief efforts of the profession in its present advancement, and this shutting under is a great art preservative. A forerunner of advanc ing age is the heavy lower law, which settles more and more as the muscles of the face weaken and relax with years-a tendency which is long de ferred if the jaw is trained to be held back beneath the upper. Such will be the case if the teeth close together properly. Watch your children and yourselves, and if you have been shut ting your teeth the wrong way for forty years, begin to-day to reform.
