at Terre Haute, Ind?Strength o;
Various Contingents.
The first bloodshed resulting from the
lashes between tho law and the Industrial
or Coxey army movement, which was
weeping over the country in a wavo o
monster proportions, was witnessed at Bill
lags, Montana. At about 11 o'clock n. m
that little city was thrown into wild excite
ment by the announcement that th
contingent of the Coxey army whicl
eized the train at Butte' Cit;
was rashlnar into the city on a Northeri
Pacific train from the West at a high rate o
speed, closely followed by a tralnload o
United States deputy marshal?. The trutl
of the statement was verified a few minute:
before noon, when the train of box cars rai
into town.
Whon the train left Butte City the unem
ployed were in possession of the railroai
yards, round-housw, freight depots, engine
and cars, and the train started oat at th<
fate of about forty-five miles an hour. The;
were notified ofthe danger to other trains oi
the road, and replied that the compan;
could take care of Its property Itself; i
the road was not clear, it was not thei
fault, and the irompany must sa
that it was kept clear. The trail
went along all right until Boze
man was reached when a big landslide wa
encountered, and the 500 men spent nearl;
the whole of the day in removing it. Thei
they started eastward again, but i
was not long before they cam
to another slide, which they also re
moved, passing Livingston at 5.30 p. m
The officials of the Northern Pacific Road
meanwhile, were in communication with th<
United States authorities in the West and a

Court '( he found It necessary, and at th
?am? time the marshal received an orde
from Judge Caldwell to seize the Industrial
ff they should come into his district.
There was no legal difficulty in the way o
Government actioa at this stage, as the rail
road property is now in the hands of th
Cnltfld States courts, acting through a re
eeiver, and tbe President may move at one
npon the representations of the United State
jUUlCItU UU4V/CIO.
The Coxeyites were overtaken by the spe
eial train of the marshals Jurt they en
tered the limits of Billings. A : r their ar
rival it was learned that the mi - tls* trail
overtook the Hogan contingent ' :> : as the;
were palling away from Columbiii (formerl;
known as Stillwater), and attempted t
arr^t the progress of the train bearinj
the 500 unemployed who were in posses
dou of the trains. The leaders would no
yield to the demands of the marshals to giv<
up the train, and instructed their men to g<
which was done. The two train1
rune on during the forenoon hours, unti
'SilKngs was reached, when a stop wa
orJor-^d. the conflict between the two bodiei
resu tinir.
Mnrsball McDermott ordered the leader
of the captured train to surrender, an:
wben they refused to do so a few of th<
marshals, before receiving a command to d<
tired upon the erowd of men on the cars
T it- shots were quickly returned by the In
<; list rials. Anumberof shots wera exchanged
fcerwaen the parties before Marshal McDer
rcott could regain control of his men. Dur
ing the firing one of th) deputies wai
seriously wounded and one oi the men oi
the rear platform car was shot is the groin
McDermott decided that his men were no:
equal to the odds against them, ani orderer
his men to desist firing, which they did
The captured train soon after pulled oui
from the depot, and McDermott notified tfcu
authorities innt his force was inadequate tc
capture the 500 men who were determine;
lo retain possession of the train.

the Unite! States Court, the United State'
District Attorney and the United States Mar

aid in arresting the Hogan contingent of th<
army of the unemployed for seizing the trail

Train Seized In Indiana.
A despatch from Terra Haute, Ind.. says
General Frye's branch of the Industrii
army seized a train and left here. The arm
spent the night and the day about a mile ea;
of the city on the Vandalia line tracks. The
were in an ugly mood. They had tried to g<
out of town on a freight train, but It le
without them. Then at 7.30 o'clock p. n
they captured a freight train, but tt
trainmen, acting under orders., ran it bac

the calculations of the men. They had d
clared to Frye that they wouldn't walk ai
more, and they were prepared to keep the
i word even if there had to be trouble,
i All night they burned the Vandalia Coi
pnnj-'s ties and made blazing fires, aroui
which they tried to sleep. The Vandalia ill

even if blood was shed.
' The men kept their word. At 2.30 in t!
afternoon a Vandalia freight train bound f

A dispatch from Boston, Mass., said
Pandemonium raged on Boston Commo

of the Coxey "Industrial army" made thel
escape from among thirty thousand ej
cited men and singly struck out fc

their banner had been torn to fragments an
several of them badly handled. Speech*
were interrupted, hissed, drowned in ca
calls, and overwhelmed with derish
cheers. Luclen Sanlel, of New York, wp
unceremoniously dropped on the barbed Mi
fence that surrounded the band stand, on
his hands severely cat and a brand new soi
of clothes torn. Even Morrison I. Swif

Miss Charlotte Smith tried to make a
address from a dry goods box under a tre
on the outskirts of the mighty gatherlnt
but was thrown to the ground and onl
rescued by a detachment of police. Fighi
were too numerous to count, and the mucl
heralded departure of Boston's Coxey contii
gent to the rendezvous of the idle in Wast

BIG COAL STRIKE,
k
The Order of the United Mine Wori
H ers Generally Obeyed.
J The strlki of the United Mine Workers i
'j America was successfully inaugurated. T1
i reports received at headquarters in Coluc
* bus. Ohio, from points where the action of tl
, miners was in doubt indicated that the ord<
of tbe National Convention had been moi
j generally obeyed than President McBrid
expected.
The strike on the day after Its inaugur;
tion involved 91,000 men and paralyze
v the soft coal industry of six States. Tl
^ loss in wages in this strike, it was estimate<
. would be greater per week than the loss li
* volved in the great Durham (Englanc
strike vhich blighted British industry la
. year.
The number of miners who ebeyed tl
? order to strike was approximately as fo
LI lows In Pennsylvania, 46,000; in All
IT bamn, lO.COO: in Ohio, 15,000; in Illinoi

0 and Colora lo the men retueed to strlki
\ so that about 40,000 out of 182,0(
J* bituminous coal miners remained at wor
.. The production of these mines la
: year was about 75,000,000 tons, and tl
1 miners rec?lvd in wag^s 853,809,627, ai
I average of ?407 for each miner, out of whit
expenses for powder, oil. tools, etc., hadl
5 be deducted. The strike of 91,000 men ther
? fore was estimated to cause about $125,01
' loss in wages every day during its contin
ance.
? It was conceded that about 50,000 men e:
gaged in the production of bituminous co
in tho United States, who are not organize

9 The chief difficulty besetting tbe manage

was the question of how to maintain a sol

plan of this strike was, at its inception, th
no coal sticuld be mined anywhere until tl
' wage scale was paid everywhere.

Many reports from the towns in Greece
which suffered mo9t severely from the two
, days' period of the earthquakes have been
> received. The loss of life and property is
> much greater than was at first supposed.
In the Locris district 129 persons are
known to have been killed by falling walls,
and many others are missing.
A parish church in Pros kino collapsed
during vespers and thirty men and women
were killed outright, while several who
were dug out alive from the ruins are likely
! to die.
Ninety persons were buried in the ruins in
Malesina and sixty of them were killed. The
others may recover. In many towns whole
households have disappeared.
In Martlno thirty-nine persons were killed
by falling timbers. Most of them died within
the walls of a church whose roof fell In during
service.
Although there has been small loss of life
In Athens and its environs, the damage to
property has been enormous. The builriing3
in which the Austrian Lloyd and the Florio
Eubbattino companies had their offices were
wrecked completely. The roof collapsed,
the floors broke and the walls are rent.
Hardly a whole piece of furniture was left in
either building.
For years the work of restoring the famous
Byzantine Church at Daphne has been in
t progress. The dome and walls had been re,
paired, butthevwere cracked and crumbled,
and the beautiful mosaics were disfigured
beyond hope ot restoration.
Appeals for help come in hourly. But
little can bo donn toward alleviating the
prevalent distress, as there are no charity
organizations of importance.

The King, accompanied by M. Bouphides,
Minister of the Interior, has begun visiting
the districts which have suffered most keenly.
The reports show that very many of the
deaths occurred in the churches. It was
Tassion Week in the Greek Church, and religious
services were held every day and
evening. The services were very largely attended,
and, several churches falling, this in
a measure accounts for the large loss of life.
A majority of the victims were women and
children.
The Government will be compelled to
adopt extraordinary measures to help the
poor in the districts affected. Steps to this
end have already been taken, and the State
authorities are giving quick response to the
calls that are being made nnon thorn.

A WARNING TO COXEY.
Proclamation of the District of Columbia
Commissioners.
Although General Coxey's ''army" was not
expected to reach the borders of the District
of Columbia for at least a week, the local authorities
at Washington deckled to take
time by the forelock and ''warn oft" as
vagrants and trespassers the columns
converging upon the National
Capital. It was decided that Coxoy's
battalion of Commonwealer3 should not be
allowed to invade Washington as an organized
body, and that if any such attempt
were made the District authorities would
not hesitate to call out the military, if
necessary. The advance guard of the army
and its sympathizers who had been talking
nhnnt fnmlnc thfl flanitol grounds into a
camp and demanding tfiat Congress provide
subsistence lor the men determined to rearrange
their plans.
The District Commissioners held a long
executive session and consulted in detail
with S. T. Thomas, the attorney for the District.
Then the following manifesto was prepared
and given out:
Office of the coaqamiosena of the |
Distbict of Columbia, >
Washington, April 23, 1894. )
To Whom it May Concern t
Whereas. It Is reported that several organized
bodies of men are approaching the
District of Columbia with the avowed purpose
of securing such Congressional action
as will relieve the condition of unemployed
laborers throughout the country; and
Whereas, All unemployed men and others
throughout the country whp may be In sympathy
with the movement havo been Invited
to assemble in front the National Capitol on
the first day of May proximo, for the purpose
of compelling favorable action by Congress
by mere force of number and physical presence
; and
Whereas, The constitutional right of petition
does not justify methods dangerous to
peace and good order, which threaten the
quiet of the National Capital,which are contrary
to law and opposed to the ordinary
means of obtaining legislative relief under
our system of government; and.
Whereas, It is declared to be the intention
of this body of unemployed and destitute
people, not only to gather together for the
purposes aforesaid at the city of Washington.
but there to remain until their mission
shall have been accomplished ; and,
Whereas.The National Capital is chiefly devoted
to public business and is the centre of
Federal legislation,and. as aresult of its lack
of ordinary means of affording employment,
is now taxed to its utmost capacity in charitable
efforts to care for its own poor and unemployed
; now, therefore,
The Commissioners of the District of
Columbia, who are charged with the duty of
maintaining peace and good order and with
enforcing the laws in said District, being
sensible of the gravity of the situation and
fully appreciating the hardship which must
come upon many innocent but misguided people
if this ill-considered movement should be
continued, do hereby appeal, in the interest
of humanity and in furtherance of the peace
and good order which are enjoined by the
laws in force in said District, to the good

or who contemplate taking part in, the proposed
demonstration, and urge them to reconsider
their intention to come into the
District of Columbia for that purposa.
No possible good can come of such a
gathering, and, with no proper preparations
or means of subsistence, suffering and ultimate
disorder will certainly ensue. No wrong
can be righted, no condition of labor ameliorated,
no remedy for any existing evil realized
by the contemplated demonstration of
physical force. Every desirable end can
be more certainly and effectively accomplished
by ordinary and lawful methods. The
Commissioners, while in entire sympathy
with all people out of employment, and having
no desire or purpose to deal harshly
with unfortunate but honest* men, who
seek relief by reasonable and lawful means,
are in duty bound to give notice to those who
are tempted under any pretext to swell the
number of unemployed persons already
here that there is neither work for thom
nor means for their maintenance in the Distriet,
that the law do9s not permit the soliciting
of alms in our streets, and forbids
parades, assemblages or orations in the Capitol
grounds and the obstruction of any public
grounds, streets, highways or avenues
and the approaches to public or private
buildings.
The Commissionets give notice also to the
criminals and evil-doers who, under cover of
a crowd of unemployed men in our streets,
may come here for the purposes of crime
and disorder that all such will be appre
bended and summarily dealt with.
And finally they give notice to all who
come here against their advice and protest
that the laws in foroe in the District of Columbia
are adequate for every emergency
and will be rigidly enforced.

A dust-covered and worn-out courier arrived
at Perry, Oklahoma, with the report
that a battle to the doath had occurred between
the United States Marshals and six
members of the famous Dalton gan?, headed
by Bill Dalton. The fight is reported to have
taken place near Inealls and near the llna
dividing tne creet miian iteservation irom

Bill Dalton. Bill Doolan. "Bitter Creek
Kid," "Three-finger Jack" Boou, and two
unknown allies constituted the outlaw prang,
and a posso of eij?ht United States deputy
marshals were the opposing party. The I
courier says that all the outlaws wero killed.
The marshals were headed by City Marshal
William Tilchman of Perry and Heck Thomas,
Assistant City Marshal.
Both men are commissioned deputies under
United States Marshal Nix, and are
known from the Gulf to Nebraska as men ol
unerring aim and iron nerve. The trouble
has been brewing for some time.
Bill Dalton was a brother to the famous

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.

BUBYIKG A FOWL. /
The curious method of burying a
few! that is either very fresh or threat
ens to be tough, which is often adopt'
ed by French cooks, may have a suggestion
in it to some country house
wives. The fowl is wrapped in a
cloth and put in a fairly deep hole in
the yard and well covered with earth;
it is usually left all night, though ii
mav be buried in the mornincr for um
at a six o'clock dinner. This proces^B

To have your handkerchiefs alway^B
looking like new ones wash and iror^B
them after the following directions
After they have been washed ancHj
brought in dried from the line, injflE
stead of sprinkling them for ironingjj
as you do the other clothes, put twA|
quarts of water in a bowl and squeezSj
sis drops of bluing into it from th^H

starch the size of a pigeon's egg ancSj
dissolve it in the water, being carefn^H
that it does not settle in the bottonBB
of the bowl. HI
Take each handkerchief separately^!
dip it up and down in this water tw<^H
or three times, squeeze it as dry a^H
possible with the hands; then whe^H
they have all been dipped in lay then^N
out smoothly in a towel and plac^B
them in the clothes basket. Rffi
To iron them lay them out flat oiHj

both sides. After this, make a fol(^B|
two inches deep across the handker^H

THE STORE-BOOM AND CLOSETS. H
However orderly the housekeep^M

it is important that at least once ever^H

Every crack, crevice and crannH|
should be examined. It is a good plafll
to have the walls of such places verflE
carefully hard-finished and all craca^B
closed with plaster of Paris or putt^H
A good mixture is one quart of -whitHfl
lead and linseed oil, such as is use^H
for painting wood work. Into th^Hj

quired for use, pour a small quantit^H
into a cup, add one-third to half i^H

The combination of putty and plast^H
makes a firm, gritty mass that mi<flH
and moths are not disposed to woi^H
through. It can be applied with
putty knife and carefully pressed in^H
the cracks. After a few times u?irH|
the wall and wood-work will becon^B
so closely united that there is littBB
difficulty experienced in keepii^H
moths away. If all of the cracks ^Ej
the floor are brushed free from du^B
and tilled with this composition ai^H
carefully refilled as the boards shrin^H
there will soon be a surface as firfl|
