miners' strike. Mlncis
who wcro at vork havo
been attacked by tho
strlkors, and blood lias
been shed. Tho feol
Ing which has been
Browing raoro and moro bitter for several
days culminated yesterday In a ilcrco bat lo
at Clont's pit, ono miio south of this city.
All tho forenoon tiicro wore murraurings of
tho approaching storm, and tho fooling was
universal that serious trouble was at baud.
Just before noon a band of COO strikers.
headed hy a hundred women, which had
ueen marching to tho various strips,
reached Clent's pit and sent in a commit
tee to persuade the miners working thcro
to quit. This they refused to do. and when
the committee reported the entire body of
marchers moved on to tho works to forco
them out. The strip men were, ready for
them, and when they passed tho trespass
line they were fired upon, and a general
battle followed, in which Winchester
rifles, pistols and clubs were used. Over a
hundred shots were fired, nnd it is nothing
short of a miracle that nobody was killed.
one man was wounded in the forehead,
another in tho leg, a hoy In the foot, and
one of the women got a bullet through her
iirm. None of tho wounds are fatal, and
(t is believed that none of them are danger
ous. A number on both sides wero bad I v
beaten up with clubs and clubbed guns.
The wounded wero quickly removed hy
their friends, and their names have not
been learned.
As a result of the battle tho men In fh
strip wero routed by tho strikers and were
forced to Hee for their lives, nursued livthn
howling mob, which would have lynched
them had they been caucht. It Is rumored
that a quantity of firearms have been re
ceived hero. The excitement continues at
a high pitch, nnd further bloodshed now
seems Inevitable.
PlTTSDUr.O.Kan., July 21. Two warrants
for trespass are out against President Wal
ters, of the Ml no Workers' union, one for
Crawford and the other for Cherokee
county. Jsoticos have been nosted for
some time forbidding tho strikers to enter
upon the coal lands, but these have been
disregarded. Tho miners say their nresl
dent Is able to give all the bond necessary
In the action, and that It will make no
dillerence in the strlko, Others believe it
will have the effect of preventing further
visiting of men at work and compelling
tbem to quit. The miners are in a state of
Intense excitement over the wounding of
four of their men nt Weir City. Many ex

and will result lu more bloodshed. That
they are wrought up more now than at
any time during the strike is certain, and
there is no telling what the end will be.
LEAVENWORTH, Kan., July SI. It is re
ported here by the railroad authorities
that 1,000 colored men were nut on the
cars as Birmingham, Ala., and started for
Kansas to take the places of the striking
miners. It Is thought they will go to
Pittsburg, and there will he distributed to
all the affected mines in the state. Trouble
and perhaps bloodshed will follow such an
attempt.

At tho last meeting of tho Borough Council
a petition praying for tho paving of Main
street, botwecn Lloyd and Coal, was presented
and adoptod and tho proper cominlttco was
authorized to prepare, an ordinance to carry
out tno spirit oi tho petition.
Only ono uucstlou was raised on tho noti
tlon and that was duo to a statement by Bor
ough Solicitor Pouioroy, who said that tho
paper was not in exactly tho form as required
by tho law, but that ho would prepare ono
aud havo it ready for tho signatures of the
petitioners boforo tho presentation of tho or-
diiianco. Ouo of tho points Mr. lVimnrnv
raised was that tho petition should not set
forth any particular grade of Btoue for tho
laving, as that should bo lelt for insertion in
tho ordinance hy the Borough Council.
At tno meeting ol Council last night Mr.
Pomcroy stated that tho stroet paving proiect.

pected the electric railway company will ro
pair tho bridge ou East Ceutro street when it
constructs its lino through that district.
Mr. Coakley said that in his estimation tho
paving ou West Coal struct was not satisfac
tory. Ho did not think the paving outside

tho wintor, ftccauso they wero beiug laid at a
pitch.
Mr VanDuscn said tho curbs and gutters
on ono side of the street are from 0 to 8 Inches
luwcr thau the grade of tho street.
Mr. Gable said that tho street, from ono
end to tho other, lias gouo dowu from five to
soven feet sinco tho original grado was given
and that accounted for tho dopth of the curbs
aud gutters. He thought tho main question
was whetlior the property owners or Borough
Council should raiso tho curba and gutters to
grade.
Mr. Jamossald tho railway company should
put its paving In according to grado and after
that is done tho Borough will look after tho
other parts of tho street.
The committee on roads and highways was
instructod to see thai the paving Is dono ac
