LOUIS LABOR TROUBLES. OF wtims Not One Was a Striker. r ’ St. Louis, April 9.—A crowd of strikers formed at the Relay Depot in East St. Louis at 1:45 o’clock this afternoon, and advanced in the direction of the Railroad yards to stop work by the men employed there, They were met by a guard of deputies, who ordered them to disperse. The mob refused and made a run for the yards, when the deputies leveled their Winchesters and fired, killing six of the strikers. ANOTIE IER ACCOUNT OF THE FIRING The four deputy guards stationed at Louisville and Nashville yards, near Broadway, fired into a crowd of 300 strikers about 2:30 o'clock this afternoon, Five men and one woman were shot, three of the men were killed and the woman is supposed to be mortally wounded. Withoat the slightest apparent provo- cation the Deputies leveled their rifles and fired two volleys. The crowd im- mediately separated, running in all di- rections and the Deputies ran over the Cabokin bridge toward the Missouri riv- er bridge, still boldiog their rifles and firing to recover their retreat, When it was known by the strikers that the guards bad fled the former returned to recover their dead. They found Pat Driscol and Oscar Washington lying on Cahokia bridge and were dead when picked up. John Bohman was algo found on the bridge bat showed signs of life. He was taken to the switch house but died in a few minutes, Mrs. Pfeiffer was found lying on the railroad about 100 ards from the bridge and was carried y her husband to a drugstore on Broad- way near the crossing, where she ia now in a critical condition, Major Richman was taken igto a hotel near by where physicians are now attending him, The crowd, after the firing began, ran up Broadway shouting, ® “TO ARMS, TO ARMS." “We will get guns and return tlat fire,” Women and children ran out of their houses and met them in the streets weeping and wringing their hands, Af ter the crowd returned to the scene and the excitement had abated, several of the leading strikers drew their revolvers and swore that they would drive all the dep- uties oat of the city, even at the loss «f their own lives, PANDEMONIUM REIGNED, The ond fled in every direction and woen the Deputies realized how fear- ful was the result of their fire, ' means of escape by rushing fanagh phia, is dead, bridge with a view of fleeing w . = oa § kx RTE . 2 ~~ real B] PA ’, just at At the approach, and j the tower on the eaet side, they were met by Mayor Joyce, City Clerk Canty and a third man, who geized the Deputies’ gins and endeavored to run them back, One of the deputies, in his terror, fired npon| the trio, killing a m named QO, FE, Thompson, who stood between J vd Canty.

Washington, April 11.—Chairman Mor- rison and Mr. Hewitt, of the Committee on Ways and Means, have completed the report of the majority of that committe to accompany the Tariff bill, which will be reported to the House to-morrow. The rate of doty or tax on imported goods subject to duty, says the report, is as low as 5 on some and higher than 200 per cent on others, The average rate for 1876 a little exceeded 47 pef cent, This is the highest rate paid in any year since 1868, and above the average rate of the war period from 1862 to 1868. The treass ury receipts for 1885 were 8$323.600,700, The increased receipts from customs and internal taxes, the principal sources of revenue, for the months of 1886 already past, over the receipts of the same months of last year, justify the estimate that the receipts for the present year will exoced $385 , Nor may our annual Treas ury lo MILLE pis be expected again to fall be w that sum without reducing taxation, inasmuch as these receipts result chiefly from the taxes on articles of necessity and comfort to be consumed in continu- wR ore BP ing population. The expenditures 1885, including pensions and the pub- lic debt, were $305.850,970.564.

ND TWO CHILDREN FALL INTO A CREEK-THE YOUNGEST CHILD DROWNED. The infant child of Mrs, Chas. Stemm, of Boalsburg, was drowned on Thorsday last under peculiarly sad circumstances. Its body has not yet been recovered. Mr. Stemm moved his family at that time from Bosses to a farm about a mile from town, His wife, his little boy about five years old and an infant only vine days of age were left at the home of Mr. Stawm’s brother, only a few rods from tire house to which they were to move. They were expected to remain there until the new house was warm enough for them to enter. Mra. Btemm, however, being desirous of reaching her own house, started to it with Ler cnildren. On the way she had to cross the creek on a foot log. The stream is the head of Spring oreck and was unusually high at that time, When in the centre of the stream she became dizzy and she and the children fell from the log into the water. The accident was witnessed by persons in the house, who went to her assistance. The lady and the hoy were quickly helped out of the stream, but the little baby was wash ed away by the swiftly flowing water, and bias not heen found. Aa a result of the ageident, Mrs, Stemm is very ill, but the little boy is none the worse for his involuntary «Republican. bodies have been found at the wrec MINERS APPEALING FOR AID, Harrisburg, April 11.=The relief com+ mittee of the striking miners of the Clearfield region has issued an appeal to fellow workmen for help.
