REV. DR. TALSLVGE
TUE BROOKLYN DIVINE'S SUN
DAY SERMON.
Subject: "Heavy AVeffjhts" (Deliv
ered at San Francisco).
Textt "Cast ttiy bur ilen upon the Lonr,
ftnfl He shall sustain thee." Psalms lv.. 22.
David was hfre taking: his own tnotlicine.
If anylio.'ly hafl on him hnnvy weights, Da
vil hal them, an l yet out of his own exnori-
nco he.i'lvisps you an t mo as to the liost
way of fretting rid of burins. This is a
world of burden bearinar. Durinp; the past
few days tidings came from across the sea of
a mighty and poo 1 man fallen. A man full
of the Holy Ohost was he, his nam1 ths sy
nonym for all that is good and kind and srra
cious and beneficent. Word comes to us of
a seour;te sweeping oJT hundreds and thou
sands of people, and there is a burden of
porrow. Sorrow on the sea anl sorrow on
the land. Coming into the house of prayer
thf re may bt? no siern of snins3 or sorrow,
but where is the man vho has not a con
flict V Where is the soul that has not a strua:
fr!e? And there is not a day of all the year
when my text is not trloriously appropriate,
and there is never an audienie assembled on
the planet where the text is not gloriously
appropriate. 'Tast thy burden upon the
Lord, and li shall sustain thee."
In the far East weils of water are so in
frequent that when a man owns a well he
has a property of very preat value, and
sometimes battles have been fought for the
possession of one well of water, but there is
' one well that every man owns, a deep well, a
perennial well, a well of tears. If a man has
not a burden on this shoulder, ho has a bur
den cn the other sho-ilder.
-'ho day I left homo to look after myself
and for myself, in the wagon my father sat
driviiiL-, and ho said that day something
which has been with me all my lifer
"J).i Witt, it is always safe to trust God. I
have manv a time come to a crisis of diffi
culty. You may know that, having been
Pick for flteen years, it was no easy thing
for me to support a family, but always God
came to the rescue. I remember the time,"
he said, "when I didn't know what to do,
and I saw a man on horseback riding up the
farm laiv. and ho announced to me that I
had I been nominated for the most lucrative
office in all the gift of the people of the
county, and to that office I was elected, and
God in that way met all my wants, and I tell
you it is always safe to trust Him."
Oh, my friends, what we want is a practi
cal religion ! The religion people haveisso
high up you cannot reach it. I had a friend
who entered the life of an evangelist. He
gave up a lucrative business in Chicago, and
he and his wife finally came to severe want.
He told me that in the morning at prayers
he sai l 4lO Lord, Thou knowest we have
not a mouthful of food in the house! Help
mo ; help us !" And he started out on tha
street, and a gentleman met him and said :
"I have been thinking of you for a gool
while. You know I am a flour merchant.
If you won't be offended, I should like to
send you a barrel of flour." He ca3t his bur
den on the Lord, and the Lord sustained
him. Now, that is the kind of religion we
want.
In the strait of Magellan, I have been
told, there is a place where, whichever way
a ship captain puts his ship, ha finds tho
wind against him, and there are men who
all their lives have been running in the
teeth of the wind, and which way to turn
they do not know. Some of them may bo in
this assemblage, and I address them face to
face, not perfunctorily, but as one brother
talks to another brother, "Cast thy burden
upon the Lord, and He shall sustain thee."
There are a great many men who have
business burdens. When wo see a man wor
ried and perplexed and annoyed in business
life, we aro apt to say, "Ho ought not to
have attempted to carry so much." Ah, that
man may not be to blame at all ! When a
man plant3 a business he does not know
what will be its outgrowths, what will ba its
roots, Avhat will be its branches. There is
many a man with keen foresight nnd largo
business faculty who has been flung into the
dust by unforeseen circumstances springing
upon him from ambush. When to buy,
when to sell, when to trust and to what
amount to credit, what will bo the effect of
this new invention of machinery, what wlllbe
the effect of that loss of crop, and a thousand
other questions perplex business men uutil
the hair is silvered and deep wrinkles are
plowed in the cheek, and the stocks go up
by mountains and go down by valleys, and
they aro at their wits' ends and stagger like
drunken men.
There never has been a time when there
have been such rivalries in business as now.
It is hardware against hardware, books
against book", chandlery against chandlery,
imported articles .against imported articles.
A thousand stores in ecmbat with another
thousand stores. Never such advantage of
light, never such variety of assortment,
never so much splendor of show window,
never so much adroitness ot salesmen, never
so much acuteness of advertising, and amid
all these severities of rivalry in business how
many men break down ! Oh, the burden on
the shoulder ! Oh, the burden on the heart !
You hear that it is avarice which drives
these men of business through the street,
and that is the commonly accepted idea. I
do not believe a word of it. The vast multi
tude of thesu business men are toiling on for
others. To educate their children, to put
wing of protection over their households, to
have something left so when they pass out of
this life their wives and children will not
have to go to the poorhouse that is the way
I translate this energy in the street and store
the vast majority of that energy. Grip,
Gouge & Co. do not do all the business.
Some of us remember when the Central
America was coming home from California
it was wrecked. President Arthur's father-in-law
was the heroio captain of that ship
and went down with most of the passengers.
Some of them got off into lifeboat?, but there
was a young man returning from California
who had a bag of gold in his hand, and as
the last boat shoved off from the ship that
was to go down that young man shouted to
a comrade in tho boat : "Here, John, catch
this gold. Tht re are $3000. Take it home
to my old mother ; it will make her comfort
able in her last days." Grip, Gouge & Co.
do not do all the business of the world.
Ah, my friend, do you say that God doe3
not care anything about your worldly busi
ness'? I tell yon God knows more about it
than you do. He knows all your perplexi
ties ; He knows what mortgage is about to
foreclose ; He knows what note you cannot
pay ; He knows what unsalable goods you
have on your shelves ; Ho knows all your
trials, from the day you took hold of the
first yardstick down to that sale of the last
yard of ribbon and tho God who helped
David to bo king, and who helped Daniel to
be prime minister, and who helped Have
lock to be a soldier will help you to dis
charge all your duties. He is going to see
you through. When loss comes, and you
find your property going, just take this book
and put it down by your ledger and read of
the eternal possessions that will come to you
through our Lord Jesus Christ. And when
your business partner betrays you, and your
friends turn against you, just take the in
sulting letter, put it down on' the table, put
your Bible beside the insulting letter, and
then read of tho friendship of Him who
"sticketh closer than a brother."
A young accountant in New York City got
his accounts entangled. He knew he was
honest, and yet he could not make his ac
counts come out right, and he toiled at them
day and night until he was nearly frenzied.
It seemed by those books that something had
been misappropriated, and he knew before
God he was honest. The last day came. He
knew if he could not that day make his ac
counts come out right he would go into dis
grace afid go into banishment from the busi
ness establishment. He went over there very
early before there was anybody In the place
and he knelt down at the desk and said :
"O Lordr Thou knowest I have tried to be
Lonest, but I cannot make these things comt
out right ! Help me to-day help me this
morning." The young man arose, and hard
ly knowing why he did so opened a book
that lay on tho desk, and there was a leaf
containing a line of figures which explained
everything. In other words, he cast his
burden upon the Lord, and the Lord sus
tained him. Young man, do you hear that?
Oh, yes. God has a sympathy with any
body that is in any kind of toil ! He knows
how heavy is the hod of bricks that the
workman carries up the ladder oa the wall.
He hears the pickax of the miner down la
the coal shaft. He knows how strong the
tempest strikes the sailor at masthead. He
sees the factory girl among the spindles and
knows bow her arms ache. He sees the sew
ing woman in the fourth story and know3
how few pence she gets for. making a gar
ment, and louder than all the din and roar
of tho city comes the voice of a sympathetic
God. "Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and
He shall sustain thee."
Then there are a great many who have a
weight of persecution and abuse upon them.
Sometimes society get3 a grudge against a
man. All his motives are misinterpreted,
and all his good deeds are deprecated.
With more virtue than some of the honored
and applauded, he runs only against raillery
and sharp criticism. When a man begins to
go down, he has not only the force of natural
gravitation, but a hundred hands to help
him in the preeipitatiou. Men are perse
cuted for their virtues and their suseesses.
Germanieus said he had jut as many bitter
antagonists as he had adornments. The
character sometimes is bo lastrous that the
weak eyes of envy ajid ,'ealoosy cannot be ir
to look at it.
It was their integrity that put Joseph In
the pit, and Daniil in the den, and Shadrach
in the fire, and sent John tho Evangelist to
desolate Patmos, and Calvin to the castle ot
persecution, and John Huss to the stake,
and Korah after Moses, an 1 So.ul after Da
vid, and Herod after Christ. sure, if you
have anything to do for church or state, and
you attempt it with all your soul, the light
ning will strike you.
The world always has had a cross be
tween two thieves for tho one who comes to
save it. High and holy enterpris3 has al
ways been followei by abuse. The most
sublime tragedy of self-sacrifice has come to
burlesque. The graceful gait of virtue is
always followed by scoff anl grimace and
travesty. The sweetest strain of poetry
ever written has come to ridiculous paro l-,
nnd as long as there are virtue and righteous
ness in the world there will be something
for iniquity to grin at. All along tho line
of tho ages and in all lands the cry has b'vja i
"Not this man, but Barahbas. Now, Bar
abbas was a robber."
And what makes the persecutions of life
worse is that they come from people whom
you have helped, from those to whom you
loaned money or have started in business or
whom you rescued in some great crisis. I
think it has been the history of a'J our lives
the most acrimonious assault has coma
from those whom we have benefited, whom
wo have helped, and that makes it all tho
harder to bear. A man is in danger of be
coming cynical.
A clergyman of the TJnivers ilist church
went into a neighborhood for the establish
ment of a a church ot his denomination, and
he was anxious to find some one of that de
nomination, and he was pointed to a certain
house and went there. He said to the man
of the house : "I understand you are a Uni
versaiist. I want you to help me in the en
terprise." "Well." said the man. "I am a
Universal ist, but I have a peculiar kind of
Universalism." "What is that'?" asked tho
minister. "Well," replied the other, "I
have been out in the world, and I have been
cheated and slandered and outraged anil
abused until I believe in universal damna
tion !"
Tho great danger is that men will become
cynical and given to believe, as David was
tempted to say, that all men are liars. Oil.
my friends, do not lot that bo the effect
upon your souls .' If you cannot endure a
little persecution, how do you think our
fathers endured persecution? Motley, in his
"Dutch Ptepublie," tells us of Egmont, the
martyr, who, condemned to be beheaded,
unfastened his collar on th way to the scaf
fold, and when they asked him wby he did
that he said : "So they will not be detained
in their work. I want to be roady." Oh,
how little we have to endure compared with
those who have gone before us !
Now, if you have come across ill treat
ment, let me tell you you are in excellent
company Christ and Luther and Galilei and
Columbus and John Jay and Josiah Quincy
and thousands of men and women, the best
spirits o earth and heaven.
Budge not one inch, though all hell wreak
upon you its vengeance, and you be made 8
target for devils to shoot at. Do you not
think Christ knew all about persecution?
Was He not hissed at? Was He not struck
on the cheek? Was He not p irsued all the
days of His life? Did they not expectorate
upon Him? Or, to put it in Bible
language, "They spit upon Him." And can
not He understand what persecution i9'
"Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He
shall sustain thee."
Then there are others who carry great bur
dens of physical ailments. When suiden
sickness has come, and fierce choleras and
malignant fevers talr) the castles of life by
etorm, we appeal to God, but in these chronic
ailments which wear out the strength day
after day, and week after week, and year
after year, how little resorting to God for
solace! Then people depend upon theit
tonics, and their plasters, and their cordials
rather than upon heavenly stimulants.
Oh, how few people there are completely
well ! Some of you, by dint of perseverance
nnd care have kept living to this time, but
how you have had to war against physical
ailments ! Antediluvians, without medical
college and infirmary and apothecary shop,
multiplied their years by hundreds, but he
who has gone through the gauntlet of disease
in our time and has come to seventy years of
age is a hero worthy of a palm.
The world seems to be a great hospital,
and you run against rheumatisms and con
sumptions and scrofulas and neuralgias and
scores of old diseases baptized by new no
menclature. Oh, how heavy a burden sick
ness is ! It takes the color out of the sky, and
the sparkle out of the wave, and the sweet
ness out of the fruit, and lu3ter out of the
night. When the limbs ache, when the res
piration is painful, when the mouth is hot,
when the ear roars with unhealthy obstruc
tions, how hard it is to be patient and cheer
ful and assiduous !
"Cast thy burden upon the Lord." Does
your head ache? His wore the thorn. Do
your feet hurt? Ills wero crushed of the
6pikes. Is your side painful? His was struck
by the spear. Do you feel like giving way
under the burden? His weakness gave way
under a oross. While you are in every pos
sible way to try to restore your physical
vigor, you are to remember that more sooth
ing than any anodyne, more vitalizing than
any stimulant and more strengthening than
any tonlo is the proscription of the text,
"Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He
will sustain thee."
We hear a great deal of talk now about
faith cure, and some people say it cannot
be done and it is a failure. I do not know
but that the chief advance of the church is
to be in that direction. Marvelous things
come to me day by day which make me think
that if the age of miracies is past it is be
cause the faith of miracles is past.
A prominent merchant of New York said
to a member of my family, "My mother
wants her case mentioned to Mr. Talmage."
This wa3 the case. He said : "My mother
had a dreadful abscess, from which she had
suffered untold agonies, and all surgery had
been exhausted upon her, and worse and
worse she grew until we called in a few
Christian friends and proceeded to pray
about it. We commended, her case to God,
and the abscess began immediately to be
cured. She is entirely well now and without
knife and without any surgery." So that
case has come to me, and there are a score
ot other cases coming to our ears from all
parts of the earth. Oh, ye who are sick, ga
to Christ ! Oh, ye who are worn out with
agonies of body, "Cast thy burden upon the
Lord, and He shall sustain thee !"
Another burden some have to carry is th
burden of bereavement. Ah, these are tht
troubles that wear us out ! If we lose our
property, by additional industry perhaps
we may bring back the estranged fortune.
If we lose our good name, perhaps by re
formation of morals we may achieve again
reputation for integrity, but who will bring,
back the dear departed?
Alas, me, for these empty cradles and these
trunks of childish toys that will never be
used again ! Alas me, for the empty chair
nnd the silence in the halls that will never
echo again to th-ose familiar footsteps ! Alas !
for the cry of widowhood and orphanage !
What bitter Marahs in the wilderness, what
cities of the dead, what long, black shadow
from the wing of death, what eyes sunken
with grief, what hands tremulou3 with be
reavement, what instruments of music shut
now because there are no fingers t'o play on
them ! Ia there no relief for such souls?
Aye, let that soul ride into the harbor of my
text.
The soul that on Jesus hath leaned (or reposa -,
i will aot, I rlU not deeej tfefoe
Thit srml, thonarh all hell shall endearo to Bttak
I'll never, no never, no never forsake.
Now, the grave is brighter than the an
cient tomb where the lights were perpetually
kept burning. The saered feet of Him who
was "the resurrection and the life" are on
the broken grave hillock, while the voices of
angels ring down the sky at the coronation
of another soul come home to glory.
Then there are many who carry the bur
den of sin. Ab, we all carry it until in the
appointed way that burden is lifted. We
need no Bible to prove that the whole race Is
ruined. What a spectacle It would be if we
could tear off the mask of human defilement
or beat a drum that would bring up the
whole army of the world's transgressions
the deception, the fraud, and the rapine.and
the murder, and the crime of all centuries !
Aye, if I could sound the trumpet of resur
rection in the souls of the best men in this
aulience. and all the dead sins of the past
should come up, we could not endure the
Bight. Sin, grim and dire, has put its clutch
upon the immortal soul, and that clutch will
never relax unless it be under the heel of
Him who came to destroy the works of the
devil.
Oh, to have a mountain of sin on the soul !
Is there no way to have the burden movod!
Ob, yes. "Cast thy burden upon the Lord."
The sinless one came to take the conse
quences of our sin ! And I know He is in
earnest. How do I know it? Bv the stream
ing temples and the streaming nands as He
says, "Come unto Me, all ye who are weary
and heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
Why will prodigals live on swines' husks
when the robe, and the ring, and the
Father's welcome are roady? Why go wan
dering over the great Sahara desert of your
sin when you are invited to the gardens of
God. the trees of life and the fountains of
living water? Why be houseless and home
less forever when you may become the sons
and daughters of the Lord God Almighty?

4 CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS
AND FATALITIES.
A Number of Persons Killed and a
Long List of Wounded Over
Korty Injured in Georgia, But
No One Killed One Wreck Takes
Fire.
Three railroad acctdents, attended by
fatalities and by serious accidents to nearly
fifty persons, ocurral at Marshfiaid, Wis. ;
Sharon Heights, Mass. , and Holts's Station, Ga.
An accident resulting in tho loss of six
lives and the injury of from fifteen to twenty
persons, mora or less seriously, occurred at
M'irshnV.d, at 3.15 a. m. Train No. 4 on the
Wisconsin Central Railway ran through an
op3n switch and was completely wrecked.
Tho cars afterward took fire and were
consumed. Four persons were taken
from the wreck dead, and four others were
missing, supposed to have beau caught in
the mass of broken timber and consumed.
Among the dead aro the engineer, fireman
and brakeman. Medical nil was promptly
summoned, and all tho injured were cared
for. Tho injuries of several of the wreck
victims wero so serious that it was thought
they could not survive. Tho forward cars
took fire soon alter the wreck occurred.
Conductor Gavin succeeded in uncoupling
the sleeper on the rear of the train and coach
No. 47, which had not left the track, and
with assistance moved them out of danger.
With tho exception of some baggage and
some mail, everything else was destroyed.
The accident, apparently, was the result of
train wrjsekiag. Examination discloses the
fact that a nut had been removed irom the
switch, causing it to got loose and throw
the train from tho track. The fol
lowing is a list of the dead .
James Hubbard, engineer, of Stevens
Point : George Gearharf, firemen, of Stevens
Point ; Jtidson Bi2;e!o w. brakeman, of Stevens
Fiint ; Mr. Russell, a civil engineer in tha
ompioy of the company , O. W. Besley, news
agent, Stevens Point ; Mrs. Wegner. After
le iviug the track the train plowed along over
the ties tor a distance of ten rods, and then
toppled and rolled over, the engine
and tender going into tho ditch and the cars
piling on top of each other. From out of
this tangled mass men and women who were
Iu2ky enough not to be pinned down crawled,
many making wonderful escapes. Tho bod
ies of Russell and Bigelow, who were caught
in the timbers, were burned to a crisp.
Botween 12 anl i o'clock a. m. two freight
trains camo together at Sharon Heights,
Mass., on the Providence division of the Old
Co'.ony Railroad, wreckiag the engine and
t'urea leaded cars, killing threa and injur
ing two persons, one badly. The collision
was between the local froight for Provi
dence, which left Boston at 8.0.3 p m.,
and a "berry" train, running as special,
the sixteen car3 from Harlem River for Bos
ton. The local train reached Sharon Heights
at about 12.40 and was switching. Some of the
cars were on the sourh-bound track when the
b'jrry train came along at a good rate of
sped and ran into tnem. It i thought that
the flagman did not go back far enough with
his signals. Patrick Rourke, of Boston,
was tho conductor of the special and
escaped serious injury. Matthew Chapman,
of Rox'oury, Mass., the engineer of the spe
cial, was thrown through the cab window,
but escaped with a few bruises. Edward E.
Goodwin, of Itoxbury, the fireman, was in
stantly killed, as was also the head
brakeman, E. J. McLeod, of Boston,
who was riding in the engine ; a young
man, who from papers in his clothing
was probably Frederick Lawrence, about
eighteen years old, and Christopher
Murray, of Pawtucket, were riding on hun
ters between the tender and the first car.
Lawrence was crushed to death and Murray

In New York City a more perfect day could
(scarcely have been ordered for the annual
Grand Army parade. The wrinkled vet er
ans of a hundred fights rejoiced in sunny
skies and balmy breezes as they gathered in

STRIKERS SHOT DOWN BY
PENNSYLVANIA DEPUTIE&
Fifty Men Were Arrayed Aalnt n

Terrorized in Illinois.
Theblooitvt battle in the Ininstrlal his
fory of Fayette County, Pennsylvania, oc
curred a few mornings ago, at Stickle Hol
low. Four strikers were klllal and mtny
others were wounded. Two thou'tnd strik
ers were pitted against seventy-five depu
ties, bnt the little ban I won the flght in tt
few minutes an 1 capture! a large nu nbor of
the rioters.
Only one of the deal men wn? an EnglUh
peaking miner, nis name was Btrn-y M'

miles up the river. The other aevl were
Hungarians.
The scone of the battlo wts a farm onci
owned by President Oeonr Washington, ly
ing midway between thj Monoagth,lt anl
Yhou2rh!o!heny Rivers, twenty-oaj miles
west of Unlontown.
The Washington (Vi1 an 1 Ook Ci-nmny,
op?rating tho Stickle nollow mlns, ha 1 a
hunlrol men working and hl hen th
only mine in that part ot the TUN'mr.? dis
trict that was mining any coil. The striker
collected from various pointi all day anl
threatened tho men and guards.
They kept up their intimidation all night
nn l in tho morning the combine I for"
numberel about two thouvinl. They all
carried clubs an 1 pick handles an 1 a gr-"it
many of them ha 1 revolvers anl repeat in
rifles. They kept In tho public roa 1 clos i by
the works and watched overr point by which
workmen could reach tho pbnt.
Not 'intil daylight did any of the workmen
venture to start from thir homes to the plant,
and the first lot of about twenty was in charge
of a few deputies. They were surrounded
by tho strikers and ordere 1 ba"k Lo:n an)
the guards were roughly hnn He 1. Another
squad at this time had nearlv reachnl tho
mines when the strikers saw then and ma l i
a dash after them.
Tho deputies at the works starte, 1 at thi
same moment to protect the workmen an I
one deputy fired in th air an 1 then volley
after volley followa i. Tiio arum 1 striker
flrel at the deputies anl stoi I their groin I,
while those without weapons flel for their
lives.
The narrow road, tho sene of the fight,
ran through a gorge, and so precipitate wn
the flight of tho strikers that Hmy bevi-m
packed in the gully and trample I on oa-!i
other in their eagerness to escape. Tee
armed strikers' ammunition soon gave o.it
and then all fled, the deputi )3 pursuing the:n
hotly and firing as they ran.
Many of thestrikers broke through abarbe 1
wire fenoo and across a wheat Held an'ile
deep In mud, and there, an 1 in the gorge Is
where the deputies ma le their arrests. Tim
strikers had more guns than the deputies,
but tho latter were scatters I so far apart that
but a few of the strikers' bullets took effect.
Four strikers' dea l bodies Jay in the roa I
whoa the fight was ovor. Throe deputies
were wounded and eight strikers wera
known to have been wounded, anl it was
thought many mora of the injure I were
helped away in the flight. The dead strik
ers wero left lying in tho road where they
fell.
Tho seventy-five deputies capture 1 sixty
six of thestrikors, among them the Sewickley
brass band, one of tho thr ;o bands with the
crowd. The prisoners wero at onceplaTol
in two box cars and taken to Unlontown aul
placed in jail.
Nearly every man arrested, except the
members of the band, were arnm 1 whoa ar
rested. After the battle was ovor tho men
went to work and the usual run of coal was
made.
A rumor reached Unlontown that a wil I
mob cf 3000 strikers, collected from all along
the Monongahela River, was marching for
Stickle Hellow to avenge the death of their
companions.
The killing arose out of a continuation &r
the coke strike trouble, which began on
April 2, in an effort ot the men and their
leaders for better wages. The Frick Com
pany continued paying the scale. Since the
coke strike and the coal strike of the river
miners began the two interests worked to
gether in tho so-called "National strike." Iti
the Connellsville district proper there wro
at this time certainly 16,000 men idle. In the
entire area o the general or nation-' strike,
as guided by the United Mine Workers,
there were, also, about 125,000 men idle. Tia
last conflict arose out of one of tho numer
ous attempts of the strikers to rail the work
ing men and mines.
Tho prospect of a speedy settlement of the
Strike by peaceable moans was thought to
have been swept away by the riot at Wash
ington Run mines.
The news of the killing caused the strikers
to become bloodthirsty, and further riot and
bloodshed were imminent.
The leaders themselves admitted their in
ability to control the aagry strikers, and sent
out formal notices to that effect.
Five hundred and fifty men marched from
Dunbar to Jimtown, and wont into camp on
the property leased by the strikers a few
days before. These men served notice on
the company that they would remain in
camp until the works were closed dowa.
Rioting Elsewhere.
A dispatch from La Salle, 111., siys: La
Salle has passed through the experience of
being all day in the hand3 of a mob of strik
ing miners. All day long they had things
their own way, and when Sheriff Taylor and
his handful ot deputies sought to put a re
straining hand upon their actions they
turned upon him and gave battle.
Not one of tho deputies escaped inlury,
and Sheriff Taylor and Deputies Walter.
Jloollhan and Devere were dangarously, if
not fatally, injured.
When another force of deputies arrestod
three of the ringleaders the jail was entered
by the infuriated horde and the release of
the men accomplished.
The foreigners were armed with all kinds
of deadly weapons and carried arms full ot
rocks and clubs, and attacked the ShorlH
and his posse of forty deputies.
The strikers opened flro and it was re
turned by the Sheriff and deputies, the latter
holding their own until all taeir ammunition
was used, when they were forced to fly for
safety.
The success of the strikers ia their riot
seemed to infuriate them unttlthey lost their
heads completely. They then began parad
ing the streets, howling anl raising paado
monlum. About 7.15 o'clock p. m. two of the ring
leaders were put under arre3t by deputy
sheriffs and hurried through the Harrison
House and taken to jail through the back
alleys.
In five minutes a mob of 1000 men had
fiurrounled the hotel and toreatenol to
blow it up unless the prisoners were rr
duced. The wildest excitement prevailed,
and all the guests of the hotel left for quar
ters more safe. The prisoners wsre liber
ated to avoid bloodshed.
Tho Pittenger and Davis nirte.In Central!,
HI., which had been working for several,
day3 with about thirty men, was visited by a
delegation of strikers from Daquoin and St.
John's mines. The miners attached and ba l
ly damaged tho works. The shaft was filled
with loose material, such as truess, cars and
tools." The belting on the machinery was cat
and the oil-cups knocked from all the shaft
ing. Several wheels were broken and the
machinery rendered usele3?. Every pane of
glass in the entire lot ot buildings was
smaahed. The damage Is estimated at about
$ 5000. The men came from Duquoin oa a
freight train, which they captured, and forcol
Engineer Charles Stewart to haul tkera to
Centralia.
