They destroyed Home of the company's iroierty. snd ini; lifts tvles"5rrTvlrf?rfsc'"lio warning could be sent to the peo I le at iMoovewood. About three o'clock the party marched to Moorewood. In the meanwhile tbe wiies were hurriedly repaired, an i word sent to Moorewood that the strikers would attack the works in three places, and had a well laid plan iti destroy the plant. T:ie ,s!,eri!l w.is f-oi.ii in readme".- to receive :m attack. The mi n were divided into three parli-v. Captain l.auer, having i linr-.-e the parly, vuis placed ..(-hind I he big gale of the bain and stable enclosnie. An the riot cih pa.s-ed the enniptiiy's store they ruided ita:el matched to tbe ha. n and attempted to break the .'.ite. They Kticeeeded in doing i!, an 1 as they enteitd Cajitaiu l.ina r called" out to them to halt or be woul 1 lire. Their answer was "lire!'' and a rattling volley in the direction ui the deputies, :i iii. ol whom were Keriolis'y wounded. C'aptiin l.auer then gave the word to lire, and two volleys were tired before the moh broke and ran. Kleven men fell dead )n the road, and the wounded ate estimated as high as twenty seven. The deputies v b took part in the riot are experienced men, armed to the teeth. l.uM night Superintendent Pickard told them i laid was contemplated on the wefks, and pre.-enled each man with a Winchester. "I have promised protection,'' he said, "to o . r men, and I must give it tj them; when the laiders come u'.cv me. l ire ttie Inst Hliot in lir. If they dj not retreat, lire a second shot, and keep tiring w line you have ammunition. 1'rotect the property, protect tin; men at work, and protect voir likes. A man in my employ who runs 1 will shoot dead. Any loan who is not willing to accept my terms will please drop into the rear, and I will send ill tik home under : guard. Is everybody s.itisiied ."" asked the superintendent. "Yes, yes,'" rang out all along the line. Kach man was supplied with 20 cartridges, and, under command of ten sergeants, m.uche 1 to a convenient point. All night the strikers were pre paring for a raid. I cl(va!ions. headed by drum cjrps. marched to and fro to the places of ren dezvous. Occasional pistol shoti colli I be heard in thedistance.now and then a rocket Hashed into the air, and from the hill tops around lights could be seen. There were three parties of sti iker-; i re came from Sleeneviile.and another froui Moorewood, and the otiier from the mines in the neighbor. iood. The were very noisy, cheering and shouting and beating drums as they came. The three patties met, and decided to make a march on the works. Some of the strikers say to-day that there was no intention of l -ing any damage, but they marched to the works to intiauda'e the men at woik. The dead this morning were carried into the. company's stole at Moorewood. The etnkers de manded the Indies, Lilt were refused, and the place is now sur rounded by an armed moh of 2000 u.on, who say they will hum everythinir on the premises, unless lilt dead l.odies are given tin m. The feeling is vety bitltr among tli ! woiktnen, who denounce the .iciion of the deputies in no uncer tain terms. The Slavonians and Hungarians pre wild. Ail over the region the most intense excitement prevails. ireat en wds are coming in on eveiy tiain, and the highways are thickly peopled. It is openly de clared by the strikers thhl they will have reveice for their com panions. Tiny have transferred their attention from the plant-" to the deputies, whom they vow they w ill kill. They say at the same time the works will be demolished. Word has been passed to the strik ers all rver the region that the shooting was without provocHtion ; that no violence had been ottered, and their anathemas on hearing these reports are deep and stiong. Ominous signs of a gathering sorm in the coke region have been observed for sonr- time, a- d at two o'clock this morning it burst at Moorewood plant. Two rounds of cartridges were tired by a band of sixty-live guards, and i-even of the charging mob of strikers fell dead, while at least forty others were wounded, how badly cannot be definitely stated, as they were all taken awav by their comradef. The suikers killed instantly were: Cre..o lliniro, Italian; John I'udora ; Antonio Kist, Pole; Jacob Shuck-askvj-l'ole ; James I'.rochto, Pole; Valentine Zeidel, Slav; Paul lo-hani-is, Slav. The firing on both si ii ' co.if.i ued hardly threo ininuies. The volleys from the guards had a ter rible effect on the compnet mass of strikers, while the latter made an attempt to return the lire with what weapons they possessed, but without ellect. 1 lie dead wete left lying on the load, while the wounded, (Bi.nated at between forty and fifty, were either assisted or bodily carried away into the hills by their fellows. All day the entire coke regions have pre sented scenes of the wildest ex citement. The foreign element has especially been driven frantic by this woeful result of their antic ipated victorious raid. Always turoulent, sullen, and ready for despbinUj measures, they are not lt-it -cowed by the death of several of thl-ir number, and many of whom were wounded unto death. Anathemas lou i and deep have been heard on every side ail day, and word lias Keen sent by secret means all over the region I hat their comrades w ere fiied on and mowed down without any 1'iovocalion, and tha deally .ef'geance on each and every member of the guards has been swore to. This all comes from the foreign element. It will be noticed that ad tbe men killed bear foreign names and it is a fact that not one of them was a nat nralized cili.i-n of this country. It is also supposed many of the wounded were .for eign, (Old this explains tin! deep resent Uielit expressed in every foreign face in t he regions to-night.

For instance it is said by the Statesman repoiter that in attempting to extend Salem's city liuiites, tbe late legislature made an oversight which (ids oil' a portion of territory which has been inside the limits for many years. Recorder Goodell, in making the assessment of city property , discovered the comission. Forme ly tbe store of W. L. Wade, in Norib Salem, was a part of the city, but under tbe new law this store and all of whnt was formerly known as I'.oon's island is omitted. This island lies between' North Mil! creek and the old race and tmorac.es the iMincan planing mill, the meat market, Wade's store, the bheksmith shop, the old woolen mill site, and several houses about them. In all about $12,000 of assessable property which uwed to be in the city is now out in the cold and is once more a part of North Salem. Fortunately much of the island is unoccupied, or the assessment would Ik st:ll fntker reduced. From now until April 1st you can buy a pair of $3.50 Imperial I orey kid shoes for $3.
