THE MONSTER STRIKE AVERTED !
Papum KIkiumI Which IiK rcasu lh' AVliffo
of a Hundred Thousand tiers In
lViiiiHjliiiula, Ohio, Iiiilliina mid
Illinois.
Pittsbuho, Aug. 3. Tho blRRost victory
vor mndo by organized labor was won
-ostordny In Pittsburg by tho miners.
Almost ovory douuiml was granted nnd
tho operators gnvo 11 written guarantee
for tholr fulfillment of tho contract. Tho
papors woro signed last night, which in
creased tho wages of 100,000 minors in
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.
Tho terms aro that tho present rate of
wagos shall continue in forco until Oct.
1, whou every oporator in the Pittsburg
district will pay tho 09 confc rato, with a
differential of flvo couts In favor of op
orators who do uqt havo company stores.
Tho agreement for tho others provides for
another advauco on Jan. 1. It Is under
stood that tho rato will then bo mado 59
cents. W. P. Dormltt has been brought
ovor, and will pay tho 01 cout rate, as he
does not havo tho company stores.
Tho offoct of this settlement is to nd
vanco tho mining' rato in Ohio ond Indi
ana from 61 couts to 00 conts. It also
holds up tho rato In Illinois and brings tho
strlko thoro to aa end. It also changes the
end of tho scale year from April SO to Jan.
1. This is the first ttmo a differential has
been granted against company stores, and
It Is expected It will result in having all
of them abolished. An ovldonce of this
camo whon W. P. Rend, of Chicago, of
fored to abolish his company store at
Bolslg, Pa., and agreed to loan tho miners
money onough to oporato It on a co-opera
tlve basis.
As another result of tho compromise
tho operators proposo to form a now as
sociation ok different lines from the old
one, and every operator In tho district
will be lnuludod In Its membership.
Practically all the crodlt for the victory
is being given to tho socrotary-treasurer,
Pat MoBryde, who mapped out the entire
campaign.
Another feature of tho miners' victory
is that a convention of miners and opera
tors Is to bo held annually on tho second
Thursday of October to fix the mining
rate for the next year, so that the rate for
each year can be Bettled before the scale
year expires. Tho first joint convention
undor this ugroement Is to uo held next
October, and tho rate mado then will go
Into effeot on Jan. 1, 1890.

From Pottsvillo Itepubllean.
After thirty-eight years in tho printing
business in tho capacity of "devil," jour,
publisherand editor, in turn, Mr. II. C. Boyer
on Wednesday relinquished his connection
with tho Shenandoah Herald and retires
to private life, and, wo trust, to a season of
protracted rest and enjoyment of tho sweets
of declining years. His experience lias been
varied and somewhat eventful in tho history
of Schuylkill county journalism, and ho re
tires Jrom tlio held with tho consciousness
that ho has dono tho best ho could for him
self and thoso around him. Tho Itepubllcan
regrets that impaired health should have
forced him from tho profession of his choice
and will rejoice to hear in tho near futuro of
his entire restoration to tho enjoyment of
good health. Wo also wisli tho new manage
ment of tho Herald abundant success in tho
business upon which they havo entered.

Ci'.NTltALiA, Aug. 3, lp, m. A shooting
that will in all probability result in a double
murder and a suicide took plaeo here at noon
to-day.
Michael Costello, sou of John Costello, of
Ashland, and William Grifiith, of Mahanoy
City were shot by a saloonkeeper named
Harry Fctterman, also of this place. Fetter
man then shot himself in tlio abdomen. It is
believed the three men will die.
Costello and Grifiith were playing cards in
Fctterman's place and the three men were
drunk. The exact circumstances of tlio
shooting are not known, as the victims aro
not able to make comprehensive statements
and no witnesses have thus far been found,
but it appears that a quarrel arose over the
game and Fetternmli took a shot gun loaded
with buckshot to drive the two others from
tho saloon.
Fetterman shot Costello in the right knee
and tlio joint was so badly shattered it is
believed tho leg must bo amputated. It is
believed that in such an event tho young
man will die.
Grifiith, who is a widower 40 years of ago
and lias several children, received some of
the buckshot in tlio abdomen, and it is be
lieved he will die. Fetterman also received
a quantity of tlio shot in the abdomen and is
in a critical condition.
N Tlio injured men aro being attended by
Dr. J. C. Biddle, of tho Miners' Hospital,
and Dr. Lewis, of Ashland. Tlicy givo very
little hope for tlio recovery of any of the
victims.
Young Costello is a student nt the Jefferson
Medical College, of Philadelphia, and was
visiting here.
A late report states that tlio three men wero
struggling for possession of the gun when it
was discharged and wero in such a position
that all wero injured at tho same time.

A Progressive Institution.
A lew days ago m looking over some in
surance commissioners' reports for the past
ten years our attention was riveted on tho
rapid increase made from year to year by
what wo consider a great and noble institu
tion partly belonging in our midst, namely,
Tho Homo Friendly Society of Baltimore.
There is no secret about tho success of this
institution. Strict attention to business,
honestly paying all just claims, proper se
lection of risks, and in all cases and at all
times straightforward business principles,
witli a thorough understanding of tho in
dustrial insurance obtained by twenty years'
experience lias won for it a most enviable
position. In the past seven years it has ab
sorbed some twenty companies who havo re
tired from business, putting tho members of
these companies in immediate benellt and
paying tho claims as they occurred as if they
had originally belonged to the Home Friend
ly Society. Mr. William T. Kvans is the
local superintendent for tho company, and
his ability and the excellent record of the
society for honesty and promptness in deal
ing with its members is tlio tuuso of tho so
ciety's groat popularity in this region and
elsewhere.
