THE-RIOTOUS MINERS
A Fienilisli Plot Seldom EpM in the
- -, Annals of Crime. '
ONE HUNDRED WOULD HAVE DIED
Hungarian Miners Had Planned to
Place Giant Powder Under the
Houses of the Bosses. .
Wilkksbabrb, Pa., May; 19. A plot
for which fiendishness has never been
equaled in the annals of -crime in this
section, was nipped in the bad today,
through the confession of one of the Key
stone colliery rioters. He said the strik
ers had secured nine kegs of giant
powder, almost enough to destroy half
the city, and secreted them near the
house of Foreman Heslops. This even
ing, had it not been for the arrest of the
ringleaders of yesterday's riot, it was the
intention of the strikers to put the
powder under the houses of all the bosses
of the niines-and set it off. The result
would have been something terrible,
taking into consideration the families of
the bosses, who number nearly lor per
sona. Despite this evidence agaiust the
ringleaders of the riotous Hungarians,
the six men who were taken into custody
ibis morning were today Admitted to
bail. The nine kegs of powder were
secured by the officers. .
THE COURTS IGNORED
Ko?)ng Band! of Coxeyttes Continue to
Steal Railroad Trains. ,
St. Paul, May 19. Two hundred Cox
eyites from Washington captured a
Northern Pacific train at Heron, near
. the Idaho-Washington line, this morn
ing, and were not intercepted until Ar
lee, a station 145 miles east, was reached.
So soon as word was received at the
company's headquarters, General Mana
ger .Kendrick called upon the war de
partment for assistance in regaining
possession of the. stolen train, and or
ders were issued at once to the troops
stationed at Fort Missoula. At ,the
same time, Mr. Kendrick issued orders
to the superintendents on all divisions
affected to offer every obstruction possi-
le to the passage of the train consistent
with safety. The Heron mob was in
charge of a man named Blair, and the
train consists of twelve cars. It was in
charge of Engineer Koss. lney pro
ceeded eastward from Heron at some
thing like forty miles an hour. Bails
were torn np at several places, and a
slide of rock blockaded the train at Par
adise, but all obstacles were overcome,
and the men ran the train as far as Ar
lee, where it was taken into custody by
United States Deputy Marshal Heally.
The men will be held at Arlee tonight,
and in the morning be taken to Helena
for trial in the United States court. .No
one was hurt and no shots were fired.

Whereas, We- are informed that

Whereas; The 30th day of May is
Memorial or Decoration Day and is set
apart as a national day and "designated
for the purpose of strewing with flowers,

comrades, who died in defense of their
country during the rebellion,',' or who
since have crossed the mystic river and

But Bis Newly-Made Wife Soon Convinced

"I had a queer couple in my office a
few . days, ago," remarked Squire
Hause, of Jeffersonville, - recently,
to a Louisville Commercial reporter.
"They were the most rural-looking
couple I ever saw. There was hay in
his whiskers, and she had the appear
ance of having ridden hard all day on
a sulky plow. They came all the way
from the briar patches of Bullitt
county, and regarded everybody they
met as a sortof bunko steerer. After
I had tied the nuptial knot' the groom
asked me what I charged, and I told
him the usual fee was two dollars.
He argued that they were . very plain
people, that it had taken but a few"
moments of my time, and that the
woman was far from being handsome,
accordingly he thought two dollars
was a trifle steep for such a : wife. I
might have only got one dollar out of
it had not the husband referred to his
new wife's personal appearance dis
paragingly. At this she flew into a
passion and declared there wksn't an
other girl he ever kept company with
that could touch her as to looks. She
referred in cutting terms to some of
his old sweethearts, and swore she
was worth every cent of two dollars
to him. If he did not pay it she said
she would apply for a divorce at once.
She was determined, and her husband
finally had to shell out the other dol
lar." .

STARTING A FASHION.
.Bow the Wearing or White Gloves Wu
. Initiated in Gotbam. -
The other day a young man wanted
a pair of evening gloves late at night,
and had to go over to Sixth avenue to
get them, says the New., York Press.
There was nothing of his size in stock
but a pair of white gloves, while pearl
alone are . de rigueur. . , However,
he was a dancing man and had to wear
gloves, so he bought the gloves, and in
due course of . time led the cotillon
wearing them. The chappies were
astounded. ' Nobody could question
this man's irraproachable taste, and in
fact he was something of a leader of
fashion. After supper a ' breathless
deputation waited upon him 'o know
whether or not white gloves had come
back again.
"I'm wearing them myself, you see,
dear boy.'J he said jokingly, but with a
slightly superior smile. "I haven't
really heard 'whether the prince has
found i- out yet or riot - '
Now your true dude is not susceptible
to the influence of irony. Besides, the
deputation was flustered at the innova
tion. ..The result was that thev mixed
those speeches up, and in half an hour
'everybody in the room was saying that
the prince of Wales had taken to wear
ing white gloves in the evening, and
that Tom Blank- was the first man in
New York to hear of it. So white
gloves and not pearl are now the
proper thing to wear in New York city
on dress occasions, and when bur man
of fashion strolled into the Metropoli
tan 'opera house the other- night and
looked around the circle he smiled
grimly. Half the men in the boxes
looked as if they were carrying snow
balls. - ' -

Oyster Beeented Impertinent
Curiosity In Chesapeake Bay. .
The meek and lowly oyster can some
times become a revengeful as well as a
dangerous antagonist, as an unwary
duck found to his cost a day or so
ago over on the eastern shore. Bays the
Baltimore American. This 1 careless
duck, belonging to the tribe known as
''fishermen,'.' was swimming about - in
search of food off the shore, near. Clai
borne, ,. when he . espied an oyster a
nice, fat, juicy oyster he. was with
shell widely parted, feeding, doubtless,
ou the simple and . rather intangible
Uiet upon- which an oyster is supposed
to feed.' The ducki true to his greedy
instincts, -dived for that supposed juicy
morsel and was about to swallow him
whole, without salt or pepper even,
when the angry passions of . the oys
ter arose, and, snapping his shells tor
gether, caught the unsuspecting duck's
bill in a .vise-like embrace. . The duck
rose to the surface, shook his head,
mumbled apologies through his tight
shut mouth, but the .bivalve's heart
was hardened, and he held on. Soon
the constant load pulling down his
head, - and growing weightier , and
weightier, began to tire the duck and
his neck arched lower and lower .until
finally it sank into tho water and he
was ' drowned. - A deckhand on th
steamboat Tangier saw the duek float
ing' with his head submerged am
picked him up. The oyster was stil
clinging to his victim with a relentless
deadly grasp, and the tragedy that
must have been enacted as described
was revealed.
