THE COAL REGIONS.
Particulars rf the Outbreak Among the
Scrnutou Lnbortri,
The New York Herald has the following from
Scran ton, dated yesterday:
This city la In an Intense state of excitement. An
outbreak anion the miners occurred last night, and
the reign of terror predicted In my letter of jester
day has commenced. As the mall closes In a short
time I must tell the story as briefly as possible. For
some time past a mine known as the Tripp Slope has
been producing coal, a portion of which has been
applied to supplying the wants of the citizens here,
t.ut much the laigest quantity has been purchased
for the customers of the Delaware, Lackawanna, and
Western Railroad Company.
Yesterday an organized band, consisting of Irish,
eish, and English miners, bclongtng to the Work
logmen's Benevolent Association, congregated
about the slope with the avowed intention of pre
venting the mine from being worked. When the
seven or eight men left work a hostile demonstra
tion was made upon them by the rioters, in which
clubs and pistols were freely used. Several of the
miners were severely beaten, aud one of the assail
ants was shot In the hip. Last night or early this
morning the rioters proceeded to a small opening
on the road between Hyde Park and Provldeno
entered the mine, tore up the track, blew up the
cars, and did so much damage that the works were
effectually slopped.
This morning the exasperated miners, augmented
in numbers and streneUiened bv the hdcrhihak or
i yesterday, made another demonstration at the Tripp
I alore, aud prevented the men who wished to worn
f from entering the mine. Mayor Morris appered
upon the spot, and endeavored to persuade the men
pi to maintain order aud retire to their homes. lie was
b nueny poweritsa in Ms ellorts, but n pun a promise
t that the slope should not be worked the leadeiS
1 guaranteed that the men who had been employed la
me woi-kb -nouia not oe molested. Kelylng upon this
guarantee the men started for their homes, but hal
got but a few steps from the "head house" of the
slop beiore they were set upon by the crowd, and
barely escaped with their lives, onn man ro,.oin.i
s a scalp wound from a pistol, and was sived fio.n
1 death bv a miracle. The moo then proceeded to tho
3 mine of the Lackawauna Iron Company, on this sldi
ii mo uici, im mwr an cal'iujii aemoDstration

gathering having been accomollBhcd.the mobformedv
iuio procession, ano, as 1 write, are parading the
streets, preceded by the American (lag.
Such are the events up to the hour of cloning the
mall. The rioters have thim fai carried their pjluts,
and the mining of coal in this quarter has been
stopped. But the spirit of disorder is abroad, and
there Is no predicting what shape it may next as
sume. That this state of things has biten precipi
tated by the avowed determination of the compa
nies not to treat with the workmen except upon
the terms laid down last November, there is not
a doubt, aud It is evident that the dotngs of yes
terday and to-day are but the beginning of most
serlons trouble. The military of the State will be
ordered to this place, and peace will have to be
maintained at the point of tha b&ronnt. That: t.ha
kutizens are greatly excited at the aspect of atfalrs
ia imi, uaiuitu m suppose, ana tne stream or sym
pathy which has been running in favor of the
miners thus far Is beginning to turn the other way.
The miners have grown desperate, and it Is feared
that attacks will ultimately be mad
lo relieve cravings of nature. TtiU Is the first serious
(outbreak In this section for manv vears. and th

A HORRIBLE CRIME.
A Man Murders his Wife and Five Chil
dren, and then Commits Suicide.
A letter from Stone Fort, Saline county, Illinois,
furnishes the following particulars of a crime that
rivals In atrocity the Uendish murders of Probst and
Traupmann. The letter Is dated March 26:
This mornlDg our little community was thrown
into intense commotion by the intelligence that an
entire family of the name of Dakins bad been mur
dered last night at a point some three miles south
east of this place. As soon as I heard the news I
mounted my horse and visited the stsene of the
tragedy, a small log hut of one room on the land of
Mr. Jeiry Foley.
It stands in the midst of a small clearing of, I
should judge, an acre aud a half in extent, sur
rounded on all sides by an almost unbroken forest.
It lies about three huudred yards from the county
road, from which It is reached by a bridle path. On
reaching the hut I found about a dozen men of tne
neighborhood, all terribly excited, and looking the
horror each cne felt. Dismounting and hitching
my hi rse, I entered the hut, aud hope that It may
never be my fortune to look npon a similar spec
tacle. On and diagonally across some old quilts and
blankets, stretched upon a rude framework ia the
corner of the right-hand as you eater the door, was
the body of a woman apparently thirty-four or
tbirty-Uve, with her throat cut and backed in a fear
ful manner, the jugular veins, windpipes, arteries,
everytning severed, and the head only held to the
trunk by the vertebra). There was a deep Incision
across tne palm of the right hand, as though a sharp
knife had been suddenly drawn through the clenched
list.
Several deep and long cuts were npon her shoul
ders and breasts, but nowhere could be discovered
any stabs, showing that the murder was not com
mitted with a sharp-pointed instrument. Near the
lire-place, with her head partially In an old skillet,
lay a falr-halred little girl of some ten or twelve
years of age, with her tfcraat cut from ear to ear.
In the corner furthest from the door, and on the
same side of the room where the woman was lyiag
on a pallet, evidently where the cmidren slept
as nights, lay the bodies of tiro little boys, one
acroas the other, aged respectively about seven and
five, both with their throats cut. On the floor, ner
and partially under the bed where the woman lay,
was the body of another little girl, apparently not
more than three years old, her head nearly severed
from her bodj. Such was the horrible spectacle
that greeted my sight on entering the hat.
lhe floor, the wals, the few arloies of furnitjre,
everything In and about me miserable aturtment!
were deluged with blood. From indications, the
woman's struggle for life mast have been protracted
and furious, uuul she sucoutnid from loss of blood
or a disabling stroke of the lustrutnent of slaughter
BP ody tracks ou the door-slil, aud a trail of blond
leading In a northeasterly direction from the house
pointed out the course of the murderer's fllaht.'
Pnrnuing parties started ou the trail, but did not
proceed more than one hunnred yards bsfore they
came upon the second sequel aud end of tuts terriole
tragedy of the night.
'j he body of au Infant not more than a year old
lay part'ally clasped by the left arm ol a inn, it
having shared the fate of its motner, brothers, and
sisters. The man, who was no other than Dktus
wss also dead, with a ghastly wound across his
throat. Bis blood-stained siiirt. pauts, aid a r-izor
lying near the body, where it must have fallen from
bis hand the moment aftr inflicting the fatal
wound upon bis throat, proclaimed him to be the
ifathor of the wholesale butchery of his family
despatching his own guilty soul to the other world"
twiltly after the shades of bis victims.
As the man died aud lei t no sign, tue causes that
led to the commission of the murders cau only be
conjectured. The Daklos ha1 only been liviug dure
about six months, having oome, I understand, from
Jcileraou coun'y, and little or nothing is knowu by
any one here of thsir former history. Stiltios wis
about forty-two or lorty-tnree, aud in the hiblt of

and imaginary wrongs, and moved doubtless by

WOMAN AT THE POLLS.
A Woman In Detroit Votes the gtato
Ticket First Instance of the Kind In the
Last Half Century.
From the Detroit AdverlUer, April 3.
A steady rain to-day is aiding the general lack
of interest that inevitably attends the spring
elections in this city, in making the voting lu
Detroit so very quiet as to be tremendously dull.
A light vote Is beiBg cast here, and there are
no crowds, no excitement, no fights, no
food for items. Mrs. Nannette B. Gardner,
whose success in securing the registering of
her name week before laH was duly chroni
cled at that time, has cast this morning the
first vote for a State officer deposited in an Ame
rican ballot-box by a woman for the last half
century. Mrs. Gardner arrived at the polls of
the First precinct of the Ninth ward at about
10 30 o'clock, in a carriage, and accompanied by
her son, a lad of ten years, Mrs. Starring, and
Mrs. Giles B. Stebbins. Barely a dozen by
standers were present at the voting place, and
the larger part of these were laboring men. No
demonstrations whatever followed the appear
ance of the ladies, the men remaining quiet and
civil, and contenting themselves with comments
sotto voce on the last political development, and
with speculations as to how tbe newly enfran
chised would vote. Mrs. Gardner presented
herself at the polls with n vase of
flowers and also a prepared ballot, which
she had decorated with various appropriate de
vices, in her hands. The Inspectors asked tho
questions in regard to name and residence
usually put to all applicants, and her name being
found duly registered her ballot was received
and deposited in the box without any further
proceedings whatever. There was no argument,
no challenging, no variation from the routine
traversed by each masculine exerciser of the
elective franchise. Mrs. Gardner voted, as we
understand, for the Republican candidates
generally, with one Democrat and one lady.
After the vote was deposited she pre
sented the . vase of flowers to
the inspectors, and also handed them a
large picture, representing an immense crowd of
women in darkness just entering the portals of
an arch Inscribed "Liberty" and upon which aa
eagle was perched. Tbe gates were held open
by Columbia and the Goddess of Justice. ' The
foremost woman held in her hands a scroll In
scribed "The Fourteenth Amendment." To the
right were imps of darkness fleeing away, some
with barrels of whisky. On the left was pic
tured the Capitol at Washington, with men ,
crowding its steps, cheering, etc. Streams of
light flowed npon them, while, with the excep
tion of this and the foreground, the picture
was darkness intensified. The following lines
appeared underneath;
We come, free America, five millions strong,
In darkness and bondage for many years long
We've marched in deep silence, but now we nnroll
The fourteenth amendment, which gives as a soul.
Glory, glory, hallelujah ! glory, etc.,
As we go marching on."
Columbia "Welcome, beloved daughters;
Take your places beside my sons."
After the vote had reached Its resting-place,
there was a faint attempt at a hurrah among
some of those present, but this was frowned .
down by tbe others as tending to Interfere with
tbe solemnity of the occasion. The ladies then
left tbe voting-place, and matters resumed their
usual appearance thereabouts.

The Coal Troubles.
Supreme Court.
In this Court the Attorney-General to-day filed
Information against the Lehigh Valley and Phlladel.
phia and Heading Bailroad Companies, npon whtcb
writs of quo warranto were Issued returnable at Ilar
risburg the first Monday In May. The Informations
charge that the Lehigh Valley ftoad was chartered
with power to transport merchandise and minerals
at the rate of three cents per ton per mile, and were
now charging at the rate of four cents; that
the Reading road was empowered to charge four
cents per ton; that In Jannaay last they charged for
transporting coal from Port Carbon to this city 1D9
fer ton, which was a reasonable compensation, and
n the month of February they Increased the charge
to 18-09 per ton ; that these increases were In con
cert with other corporations, were Intended to bo
prohibitory, and were unlawful. Therefore they will
be required to show In May next why their charters
should not be forlelted. .ui
Bunn Remanded.
Court 0 Quarter Sessions.
In the case of William M. Bunn, who was charged
with embezzlement of public funds and conspiracy
to cheat and defraud, Judge Allison this morning
decided that the first charge could not be sustained
because there was no evidence to show that the
money In question was entrusted to him. Upon the
second charge, however, there was nothing to do
but remand him for trial, because the evidence was
to the eilect that he planned with other prrtlea to
obtain from the city something over fuoo, when he
was entitled to receive only a sum of $100. But
bis Honor thought the prosecutor, Hartnaok. was.
from bis own statement, as gallty as Bunn could
be, and he would also remand him for trial were it
not that the statute of limitations prevented.
Land is Again.
Simon M. Landls had a hearing before Judge
Peirce upon the charge of selling a wicked book. It
is the same book that caused his conviction and
sentence before. His counsel, Damon Y. Ktlgore
quoted the words of Goverajor Geary's pardon, that
this was a sclentiilc medleal book, published for a
good purpose; but Judge l'eirce sal t the Governor
was no criterion Of the matter. The hearing has
not yet been concluded.
Merited Sentence.
