    MINERS' BECOME RIOTOUS
DOZEN MEN SHOT.ONE FATALLY
They Burn Two Work", Demolish
Third end Destroy Property
Before Quelled;
A wv of anarchy, In who train fol
lowed bloodshed and destruction of prOer
ty passed over the Mansfield, Pa., coal
region Pal unlay. It began with dawn and
t dusk one human life and at leatt 1 00.00 :
worth of properly had been detroyed.
Made wild by fancied grievances and liquor
mob of hundreds of infuriated foreigners,
Hun. Hlavs, Italian! and Frenchmen,
wept over the country surrounding Mans
field through the Tom's Itun and Painter's
Run valleys, attacked mine operators and
few brave but scattered deputy sheriffs,
burned tipples, wrecked can and destroyed
railroad property. I
I'niil noon the mob met hardly any re
eistanre. At that time it bad reached the
mines of Headline:. Ilros., near Federal
etation. on the I'itisburg, (hartiers and
YoiiRlilogheny Railroad. Here the rioters
met determined resistance and were check
ed. Itepeutine. Winchester rifle In the
hands of Thomas and William He.nl line
and their nephew, Harry lleadlins, opened
lire, killing one rioter aiid wounding about
a dozen
fheriff. lames Richards, of Allegheny
county, took prompt and determined iu
tion. 1
At the request of several companies whose
Jiropertv was attacked, lie hurriedly dis
patched about a dozen deputies to the
scenes of disorder before noon: at 3 p. m. a
special train carried 40 deputies and just as
tbe train pulled into Headiiiifr the mob
was retreating under the hot lire from tbe
defenders of the mines.
The train was stopped and the deputies
warmed out of the coaches and started in
pursuit of the mob. Kach de iiity had a
revolver of heavy caliber. The riotous min
ers tied up a narrow valley that leau to me
north of Headlinea mines.
A runninK lire was opened between the
pursued and pursuers. Along the slippery
sides of the hill the deputies ran. Tiie
rioters scattered. Tbree were first caught.
Tbe deputies hung to their men and finally
overtook 10 of tlieru.
Knives, revolvers and clubs were found
on the prisoners. At the point of revolvers
they were marched over the hills to Mans
field and placed in jail. On the road the
deputies were met by a nosseol citizens from
Bridgevilie under command of 'Hquire
Mayer. 1 he twoforces effected a Juncture
and together marched 10 rioters to tbe town
Tbe prisoners were placed in the Manslleld
lock-up and later brought to the I'ilteburg
jail for fear of an attempted rescue at
Mansfield.
The story of the defense of Headline's
mines Is heroic. Three men kept a howling
mob at bay. All morning the foreigners
had been having their own way, shooting
at all whom they met and destroying pro
erty. They were Hushed with victory.
Kvery man had a weapon of some kinds
Most had revolvers and wicked looklnp
knives, some had bunting rifles, iron bars,
staves and clubs. At 12 o'clock word was
brought to the Headling brothers that their
mines were to be attacked within an hour.
The mine was running and the brothers
were in the pit at the time. Word wan
brought to the men in the mine by a son of
one of the lleadlingu. The miners o lie red
to take part in the defense,
Tom lleadling raid: "We will defend this
mine or die here." Rifles and ammuni
tion were hastily brought to the tipple.
I'p the valley came the mob in strangling
fashion, Kach nationality seemed to keep
by itself and each bad a separate leader. An
Italian known as "big Tarn" beaded bis
countrymen.
When the mob got within hailing dis
tance one of the Deadlines shouted defiant
ly: "Here's the tipple. Come and burn it if
yon can."
For an answer he got a shower of badly
aimed bullets which mostly embedded
themselves in the wood of the tipple frame.
J hen the Headlines opened tire with their
Winchesters. They shot fast and straight
early in the fight. One of t(ia assailants
was shot clean through the body. The
bullet entered tbe right side below the ribs
and passed through tbe man. His name Is
Flunk Mabll. At 7 o'clock his death was
JSPQTttCt, Others of tbe attacking party
"n'tVi Wounded.
After tbe fight tbe battle ground was
covered with blood spots. Tbe attack failed
because the rioters scattered to find shelter
behind cars and outbuildings. From their
cover they shot, but fortunately with poor
aim. The attack lasted for half an hour.
The Beadlings set up a yell of triumph,
Then the rioters began to retreat. Rack
they fell along the railroad track, sullenly
hurling imprecations at the tree brave men
who still so well oerenaea tiieir property.
Still the shower of bullets kept up from the
hood of tbe tipple and rained upon the riot
ers. The latter lost heart and broke and
ran like a flock of sheep. Hardly had they
turned from the railroad track into tbe
valley when the sbrill whistle of a locomo
tive startled them and they halted to await
developments at a distance safe from tbe
riflemen on the tipple.
As the train stopped and the deputies
alighted they took in the situation at a
glance, ana oetore the astonished rioters
knew what waa up the pone of deputies
started toward them and the chase began,
which ended in the capture of 10.
SUPERSTITION IN 1894,
The Last Chapter in the Baleen, O.,
Witohcraft Case.
Tbe last chapter in tbe sensational Witch
craft case at Hart's church, four miles
aouth of Salem, O.. ended in a trial of the
accused witchcraft believers and
tbtir eipulsion from tbe churcb. Tbe
trial lasted about four hours. The accused
were Norman Bleam, Howard Hughes and
Faunie Hughes: They were charged with
circulating false and malicious stories
against Jacob Culp and of being disobedient
to the lawa of the ch urcb.
Kev. Mr. Kingsbury, one ot tbe most
prominent ministers in that part of the
county, presided; the prosecution was in the
bands of Kev. 8. Y. Kennedy, and tbe de
fense was managed by Kev. H. M. tihip
man. Tbe jury was composed of Frof. U.
Itavidson, W.H.WbiUaker, Captain! homes
Wilson and Levi Htamp. or Alliance; Dr. D.
M. Bloom, ol New Waterford. (ieorge
Jeffries and Gilbert Williamson of
litetonia.
Tbe sensation of the day was sprung
when H.B.Kbelton, tbe prosecuting witness
in tbe case of F'unnla Hughes, was being
examined. lie said defendant and a sister
bad come to him and accused Culp of being
a wizard and said that be bud killed his
wife's mother in lew and had caused tbe
aickness of several neighbors in this vicin
ity. That he bud exercised his evil influence
in destroying animals and bad actually
robbed some of bia relatives by hypnotiz
ing tbera. The jury retired and found a
verdict in each case in twenty minutes. Tbe
raise has been appealed to the district con
ference. Costly Court Beoorda.
A record was delivered at the office of the
clerk of tbe supreme court of the United
Klates which bore eloquent teetlmony to tbe
complaint of tbe late Justice Miller tbat

unravel the tangle, Hut two of these
amendments were agreed to, one offered by
Mr. Mcltte, democrat, of Arkansas, strik
ing out the bounty feature of the Wilson
bill and one by Nlr. Warner, Democrat, ot

Itself today in the Kenate. it came up first
In tbe shape of a resolution reported from
the Committee on Foreign Relations, de
claring it to be nnwise anc Inexpedient tin
der existing conditions to consider at this
time any project of annexation of the Ha
waiian territory to the United Plates; that
the provisional government having been
duly recognized, the highest international
Interests require that It shall pursue its own
line of policy and that foreign Intervention
in the political affairs of the island would
be regarded as an act unfriendly to the
government of the 1'nlted Htales. Action
was deferred until tomorrow.
ll.uxr The sense of tho House In the
matter of free sugar was again made mini
fst when the amendment offered, by Mr,
Warner. Democrat, of New York, putting
refined sugar on the free list was reattlriii
ed, while that of Mr. Robertson, of Louisi
ana, putting a tax on sugar was defeated,
thus leaving all sugnr free and the bounty
wiped out.
'i he greater part of the day was given tip

Senati The Hawaiian resolutions were
not considered In the Senate today. They
were presented in the morning hour, but
were laid aside In order to give Mr. Allen
the Nebraska I'opnlist an opportunity to
deliver a legal argument against the auth
orityoftlie Secretary of the Treasury to
issue 5 per cent bonds. His argument was
totheeflect that the resumption ai t ol lii,
under which Secretary Carlisle claims
authority for the issue and sale of bonds,
ceased to he owralive as soon as Its purpose
the redemption of outstanding legal tend
er notes was accomplished; ami that it has
no more elticacv now than a piece of blank
piier. An hour was spent in discinsing
the House bill to repeal the Federal elecllgu
laws. Alter that the business of the senile

, An office-seeker applied to .Toslafi
Qulncy, ei-Astistant Secretary el
State, for place In the State De
partment. "What did you tell Mr.
yulneyV" asked a Senator to whom
the office-seeker, discouraged by hi
lack of success, applied for assistance,
1 old htm God only knew what 1
ba done fur the party at the last
le'tlon," replied tbe would-be Con
tu1 "You did, eh? said the Sena
toi "well, you might as well go hark
home. Any man who tell Joaiah
yulnry that God knows more than he
does will get no position Id the State
Department."
The Veil rilrtallaa.
Tbe latest "wrinkle" in the art ol
flirtation is imported from Cairo. It ia
called "La Jeu du Voile."
If the veil is dropped completely
over the face before the lady leave
yonr sight, it indicates "I am pleased
with you but be careful."
If on tbe contrary the veil is raised
o as to expose the lips, thi indicates
"a kiaa" in metaphor unfortunately,
and if the veil is lifted entirely off the
fare tbe intention it defiance and re
sentment at the cavalier's imperti
nence, less el Elthieea Maeir-lear.
The old saying t "A green Christmas
make a tat graveyard" Is often verified, and
It further aays, tbat the year will bring forth
much sickness, wherein pains and aches,
rheumatic complaints, soreness of joints nnd
limbs will abound. In the olden times there
were few preventives for pain, few cures for
complaints. It Is not so now. Even old
Banta Claua bas learned a thing or two. In
many a Christmas stocking was found a bot
tle of Bt. Jacobs Oil, the best known. Miraet
remedy for all such troubles. All years bav
their prophesies, and no year Is without Its
record of surprising cures wrought by thi
wonderful medicine.
