In the State of Ohio.
Steubenville, 0., June 4.—The armed
guard on duty at the mines of the U.

striking miners about 12:30 o’clock
Monday morning while marching over
the hills from Glenn's Run to Coal
Hollow. About 500 shots were fired,
and four persons were wounded, but
as far as known, no one was killed.
The miners were all foreigners.
Shortly after midnight G 3 armed men
started over the hills from Glenn’s
Run for Coal Hollow.
The strikers who were incensed over
an assault on one of their number,
gathered at a point about midway be
tween the two mines. There were
250 men, all armed, and they secreted
themselves behind trees and rocks
along the hillsides.
The guard was in single file, and as
the advance came in view, one of the
strikers fired into the air. This was
the signal and following it there w r as
a perfect fusillade from the concealed
men.
Many of the guards broke and ran
back to the Glenn’s Run, but a num
ber stood their ground and returned
the fire.
It is said at least 500 shots were
exchanged. The guard was finally
routed and forced to seek shelter,
leaving two hundred on the field.
Two miners were also injured in the
battle. It is said the miners were
officered by former soldiers from the
Polish and Austrian armies. It has
been decided to call on the adjutant
general for troops. '
There was another conflict between
striking miners and guards at Plum
Run during the night. About 75 shots
were exchanged and T. E. Young,
manager of the mines, was slightly
wounded. No one else, it is said, was
hurt.

ALL SICK WOMEN
SHOULD READ MRS. FOX’S LETTER
In All Parts of the United States Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound
Has Effected Similar Cures.
Many wonderful cures of female ills
are continually coming to light which
have been brought about by Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and
(2jr JMrs. Fannie D.Fok \V>)
through the advice of Mrs. Pinkliam,
of Lynn, Mass., which is given to sick
women absolutely free of charge.
The present Mrs. Pinkham has for
twenty-five years made a study of the
ills of her sex ; she has consulted with
and advised thousands of suffering
women, who to-day owe not only their
health but even life to her helpful
advice.
Mrs. Fannie D. Fox, of 7 Chestnut
Street, Bradford, Pa., writes :
Dear Mrs. Pinkham
“ I suffered for a long time with female
trouble, and finally was told by my physician
that I had a tumor. I did not want to
submit to an operation, so wrote you for
advice. I received your letter and did as
you told me, and to-day I am completely
cured. My doctor says the tumor has disap
peared, and I am once more a well woman.
I believe Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound is the best medicine in the world.”
The testimonials which we are con
stantlypublishingfrom grateful women
establish beyond a doubt the power of
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound to conquer female diseases.
Women suffering from any form of
female weakness are invited to
?romptly communicate with Mrs.
iukham, at Lynn, Mass. She asks
nothing in return for her advice. It is
absolutely free, and to thousands of
women has proved to be more preeioui
than gold.

SENATOR GORMAN
YIELDS TO DEATH
Was Improving When He Was
Stricken by Heart Disease.
6ERVED IN SENATE FOR 18 YEARS
Senator Gorman Had Long Been a No
table Figure in the National Con
gress —Managed Campaign of Cleve
land in 1884.
Washington, June 4. —Arthur Pue
Gorman, United States senator from
Maryland, died suddenly at his resi
dence in thiscity at 9:05 o’clock on
Monday morning. While Senator
Gorman had been ill for many months,
he had shown some improvement late
ly. Heart trouble was the immediate
cause of death.
Senator Gorman long had been a no
table figure in the national congress.
He first toow his seat in 1881, and
served contlnusously for 18 years, and
nearly all that time he was the lead
er of his party in the senate. Winning
early reputation for sagacity and the
SENATOR A. P. GORMAN.
keenest judgment in congressional af
fairs, he attained prominence, not only
as a leader in the senate, but in the
country at large and by many men was
considered the most available man in
his party for the presidency. * He
was chairman of the executive com
mittee and managed the campaign
that resulted in the election of Cleve
land in 1884.
The most notable contest of his
congressional career and one which at
tracted to him wider attention than
anything else, was when he led the
senate minority in 1890-91 and defeat
ed the federal elections bill. To his
sagacious leadership and adroit man
agement his party friends attributed
the defeat of the measure which was
so obnoxious to the south.
When the democrats had control of
the senate, Gorman was the recognized
leader of that body. It was at that
time that the tariff bill of 1894 was
passed, and although the Maryland
senator was not a member of the
finance committee, he had so much to
do with, shaping that measure that his
name is often given to it and, in fact,
it is frequently called the Wilson-Gor
man tariff. It was during Cleveland's
last administration that a break oc
curred between the Democratic presi
dent and the leader of the party in
senate. In a speech which always
will be remembered by those who
heard it, Senator Gorman severely ar
raigned the president. To this oppo
sition the defeat of Senator Gorman
a few years later is attributed, al
though Ills party lost Maryland in the
silver campaign. As soon as the dem.
ocrats regained control of she state he
was at once re-elected to the senate.
It was a tribute to his leadership
that as soon as he was again in the
senate he was made leader of the mi
nority and although the seniority rule
is strictly enforced, Gorman was giv
en committee places that were equal
to those he had held after long con
tinuous service.
Senator Gorman was vigorously op
posed to the acquisition of the Phil
ippines, and fought the ratification of
the Paris treaty with all the force he
possessed. Knowing that strong pres
sure was being brought to bear against
him, he urged an early vote while
the friends of the treaty held back
until the necessary two-thirds of the
senators were secured. Condemning
extravagance in public expenditures,
Senator Gorman’s pleas for economy
voiced the views of his party that less
money should be spent for big ships
and more for river and harbor im
provements.

Editor Changes Front.
St. Petersburg, June 4. —Prince Mes
stehersky, editor of the Grasrdanin,
who before the assembling of parlia
ment, was constantly assailing the au
tocracy and bureaucracy has now com
pletely changed front and maintains
that the lower house, unless the cooler
and more moderate heads stop the
present tendency, is detined to become
a purely revolutionary body. He calls
on President Mouromtzeff to declare
whether he desires to be a pugatcheff,'
who led the famous peasant uprising
of 1775, or a Minin, the cattle dealer
country from anarchy during the inter
of Nizhnovogorod, who saved the
country from anarchy during the in
terim preceding the establishment of
the Romanoffs. The emperor has re
ceived a peculiar dispatch from the
Black Hundred organization of Yeka
terinodar, asking him to impose a cen
sorship on the treasonable speeches of
members of the lower house of parlia
ment. White Monday was observed as
a general holiday throughout Russia.
American Medical Association.
Boston, June 4.—Many delegates
have arrived in this city to attend the
American Medical association meeting
Tuesday. The chief purpose of the

will be held in Back Bay halls and
in the hospitals. An elaborate pro
gram of social functions have been ar
ranged by the local committee for the
entertainment of the visitors. The
meeting of the convention will be di
vided into two classes, general and
special. The real work will be done
at the special meetings held In 12
halls, principally In the Back Bay,
where 400 papers will be read and dis
cussed.
Remarks Caused Lively Discussion.
New York, June 4. —A special to a
morning paper says that after a man
has drunk all of life, he ought to
be thrown into the scrap heap, said
Dr. Wood Hutchinson, head of the Red
Plains sanatorium in California Sun
day night. He is here to attend the
meetings of the American Medical
association this week. His remarks
caused a stir and caused a lively dis
cussion at the Academy of Medicine
for many of the physicians present
were of advanced age. “It is a la
mentable spectacle,” said he, “to see
an old man clinging to life with de
termination, when his faculties are
greatly impaired.”
Soldiers Oppose Canned Moats.
Macon, Ga., June 4.—Letters receiv
ed in Macon from South Africa indi
cate that the American canned meats
are not palatable to the soldiers in
that country, and it is claimed that
the government is being petitioned to
cancel all contracts that are now in
existence for having it supplied to sol
diers. There is nothing to indicate,
however, that the recent agitation
'against the meat trust methods in
America has anything to do with the
situation in South Africa. This is only
an inference.
Young Woman Drowned.
