the men in wages of 1227.500. This sum is
correct, ss it was given by one of the largest
operators in the region, and is arrived at on
the basis ot ?1 75 per day for the 13,000 men
Involved. With one year of prosperous
labor behind them, the strikers have not yet

Mine Workers will provide for them.
On toe side of capital the operators have
been heavy losers. The production for ten

SfrFClAL TELrG RAM TO THI DISPATCH. 1
Gkeesbckg, Feb. 2Z Some time ago when
part of tbe Frick Coke Company's ovens were
closed and some of tbe men laid off married
men were given the preference on account of
having families to provide for. A report was
then circulated to tbe effect "that all single
coke workers bad agreed to gel married by
March l.'" This rumor spread far and wide. It
reached New York, and some of the leading
papers came out in editorials commenting on
it. and saying that the Frick Coke Company
had ordered all their unmarried employes to
take unto themselves a wife before March 1.
This reached the ear of a young seamstress
on the Eastern coast of Maine, and a lew days
ago an officer of the Frick Company, who re
btdes in this place, received a letter from tbe
young woman, saj ing that she had beard that
wives were wanted in this section, and that she
was desirous of visiting Western Pennsyl
vania. She wonld like if tbe officer wonld send
berths address of one of the employes about
5 rears of age, who must Do 6 feet 6 Inches
tall, and have light hair and brown eyes. The
young woman then gave a very minute descrip
tion of bereelf, and ended by requesting the
officer to reply as soon as possible. The officer
has tts letter in his possession yet, but has not
tent the desired information.

ISPECIAI. TKLXOKAM TO THE DISPATCH.!
Fkanklin. Feb. 22. Tom Hughes, an all.
around thief, was yesterday sentenced to one
year in the Western Penitentiary by Judge
Taylor, on the charge of attempting to kill an
Oil City policeman. Sheriff Bay immediately
left for the penitentiary with the prisoner.
Hughes is suspected of having had a hand in
the several safe blowing scrapes in this vicinity.
It is now believed that the attack on the turn,
key at the jail on Thursday evening was made
with the Intention of liberating Hughes. This
city is still in a fever of excitement over that
attempt.
It seems that at 7 o'clock Harry Wood, the
turnkey, was In the barn working, when two
men crept upon him in the dark and knocked
him down with a club, after which he was
chloroformed. They then took his keys and
started for the jail. Two ladies gave he
alarm, and tbe men flea. The Sheriff was ont
of the city at the time, but has since, returned,
and placed an extra lock on the doors. Tbe as
sailants are unknown, but suspicion points to
the Hughes gang, and every effort will be made
to locate them.

West Virginia People In a Destitute and

rsrZCIAI. TELEPBAU TO THE DISFATCH.1
Charleston, Feb. 22. News from Poca
hontas county is to the effect tbat a consider
able number of people living in the upper part
of the connty, who were cut off from supplies
of food by tbe recent terrible storms, are in a
destitute and starving condition.
Tbe roads cannot be traversed and all avail
able stores of food and general groceries were
soon exhausted, cornmeal now being tbe lead
ing article of consumption. Meager supplies
are being brought over the mountains on
horses for long distances. This seems to be
the only source wf supply available, and much
suffering and want will certainly result.

The Salt Kiver Valley Swept By Baging
Waters and Much Property Destroyed
rive Indians and Several White People
Known to Have Been I.ost.
Tesipe, Akiz., Feb. 22. Salt river val
ley has just been visited by the greatest
flood" on record. The storm is general over
the country. It swepVover Arizona with a
deluge of rain, raislug mountain streams to
torrents and the rivers far above flood levels.
Last Thursday morning Salt river had risen
17 feet above the ordinary level at a point
28 miles above Phoenix. At Tempe, on the
Southside river, a railroad bridge was swept
entirely away, catting off communication
with Phoenix. A little sonth of Phcenix,
the river left the channel and overflowed a
number of farms, cutting ont the railroad
track. Many farm buildings crumbled
away. Frame structures floated off The
northern edge of this flood, which is about
1 mile wide and 3 feet deep, entered tbe
city of Phcenix, flooding out many poor
families.
The Territorial Insane Asylum had a nar
row escape, the water being banked oil. The
electrical works were flooded and the town
left in darkness. About 100 adobe houses
fell in as soon as the water soaked through,
and a large amount of personal property
was thus lost Measures for relief of the
needy have been taken. The river began to
fall Friday afternoon, and has nearly
reached the normal height. The loss is not
less than $125,000, of which one-third falls
to the railroad company. Abont five miles
of track were washed away and a bridge
destroyed. Five Pima Indians living near
Iiehi, 20 miles east oi Phcenix, are the only
persons known to have been drowned,
thouirh it is believed a white man and fam
ily living on an island north of Phcenix
also perished.
A dispatch from Holbrooc says that a
disastrous flood is prevailing there. The
little Colorado is very high, overflowing its
bank in places and changing the channel.
The railroad is washed out in several places,
causing the track to be moved and trains de
layed. All tbe streams south ot here are
unfordable. The stages are unable to make
their trips and the mails are accumulating
here for points sonth. The Gila river is
higher than ever known. At San Carlos the
telegraph line is in the river, and communi
cation is cut off from the south. The flood
at Globe City destroyed several dwelling
houses. William Middleton, an old and
mnch-respected resident of Globe City, was
drowned.

The Bogus Cherub Kamed for Marie Jansen
aad Bessie Sanson, Who
COMPARE NOTES AND WANT EETENGE
CnrciKNATI, Feb. 22. Miss Bessie San
son, of the Little Puck Company, sat In her
room at the Burnet House after the perform
ance last night, gossiping with Miss Marie
Jansen.
"1 got such a pretty letter the other day,"
said Miss Sanson, "and it is about a baby
being named after me."
"How nice," replied Miss Jansen; "and
what a strange coincidence! Do yon know
that I received just such a letter, too, and a
baby has been named after me? Let's see
your letter."
"Here it is," said Miss Sanson; "and I
have decided to buy a handsome frock for
my little namesake, if the weather wonld
only get so I could go ont shopping."
Then she handed over the missive, which
Miss Jansen read very- carefully. The let
ter was Dostrnarked' Columbus, February
16, 5:30 P. M., and was as follows:
A Very Interesting Missive.
Hudson. O., Feb. 18, 1S91.
Miss Sanson 1 beg you to excuse the lib
erty I take in writing to you. I do so at tbe
request of my wife, who requested me to in
form you of an incident which transpired yes
terday. We have a little daughter who has
lived in this big world for 10 months without
being able to lay claim to any other name than
Pet. We have searched many volumes of fact,
fiction, etc., but failed to come to any agree
ment and were almost discouraged. But yes
terday, when I came home, my wife met me
with a smile and informed me that she had
found a name Xor baby. We are both very
great admirers ot the stage and stage people,
my wife being formerly a teacher of paint
ing and music, and a member of
an amateur opera club in Cincin
nati, where we formerly resided. So
when she informed me that she had given our
juvenile offspring the name of Bessie Sanson
St. John I was not greatly surprised. She was
always a very great admirer of yours and en
thusiastic over your talent in your chosen pro
fession. I now at her request write to inform
you of this fact and request you for her to
write a tew lines with your signature attached
for our baby to read in the years to come, when
she is a grown woman. Our children are now
both named for stage people. Our boy of 8 is
named Edwin Booth St, John. Mr. Booth was
playing in Philadelphia on his own birthday
when our boy was born. On account of this co
incident we named him for Mr. Booth. I was
then in the newspaper business, and the city
Sapers commenting upon it, it caught Mr.
ooth's eye. He called on his namesake, left
him an autograph letter and an elegant souve
nir locket. He has since been to see him twice,
and seemed to taKe a great interest in him. I
am now in the railroad supply business, travel
ing most of the tim . I will trespass upon
your time no longer, remaining respectfully,
Walter B. ht. John.
Mario Janscn's Letter.
"Wait until I get my letter," said
Miss Jansen, and in a minute or two
she returned from hor room with the letter
she had received. It was not only in the
same handwriting as that to Miss Sanson,
but the language was exactly identical, even
to the little mistakes in punctuation and
spelling. The postmark was also the same,
Bhowing that the two missives had been
dropped into the mail-box at precisely the
same time,
"They are both from some horrid swin
dler," commented Miss Sanson in a tone of
indignation.
"Yes," replied Miss Jansen, "and it is
just like the work of that Baltimore man
who swindled all those Senators and promi
nent politicians by pretending to name his
babies after them."
"And to think that he shonld pick out un
suspecting young girls like we are," added
Miss Sanson, more angry than ever as she
considered the heinons scheme from that
standpoiut. "O, if the newspapers shonld
get bold of itt I should be so mortified."
"And I, too," shuddered Miss Jansen.
"Let's send for Mr. Murray," proposed
Miss Sanson, "and tell him all about it, so
if the reporters really must have the story
they can get correctly all the facts."
Manager Murray was at once summoned
and given the letters and a statement con
cerning their receipt.
"I propose to prosecute the base swindler
to the limit of the law," said Mr. Murray
last night, "and have written to 'Doc' Free
man, our advance agent, who is now in
Columbus, requesting him to exercise all his
ingenuity in trying to find this Mr. St.
John. 'Doc' is very clever, and I have no
doubt we shall soon receive news throwing
light on the affair."
THE MULE MUST GO.
Crude Petroleum to Be Used as Motive
Power on Canal Boats.
Buffalo, Feb. 22. The picturesque and
plodding mule who has for years laboriously
tugged canal boats from Buffalo to Albany will
soon pass into history as the king of tbe tow
path. The canal boats running between this
city and the east are to De furnished with pro
pellers and with crude oil as fuel. The steam
canal boats now running burn an enormons
amount of coal, and experiments made to-day
show bqw.cheap and elf ective tbe oil fuel is.
The experiment was highly successful. The
oil was placed on tbe deck in iron cylinders
and fed into the furnace through a small pipe.
By the introduction of steam, the oil is coo
verted into gas. Eighty pounds of steam were
raised in a short time and the amount of crude
oil used was about one-half in proportion to tbe
same quantity of coal. Enough crude oil can
be stored in less room than tbe same amount of
coal. The inventor claims that 12 barrels of oil
will run a canal steamer to N ew York easily.

Her little rqhes, that tmce with woman's pride

What God had made so beautiful. I start
Half fancying from her empty crib there comes
A restless sound; and breathed the accustomed
words,
"Hush i hush thee, dearest" Then I bend and
weep
As though it were a sin to speak to one
Whose home is with tbe angels.

Protect Your Horse.
Horseshoeine being a most important opera
tion, it is necessary that all shoers should
understand the construction and diseases of
the foot. Tbe want of knowledge and skill of
shoeing often generates many diseases, such as
corns, quarter and center crack, which are
very annoying. Attention given road, track
and interfering horses.
