GREAT STRIKE.
COAL O PEIt A TOTtS AND THEIR
EMPLOYES AT WAR AGAIN,
Afcer Settling nj> (heir Ditfereneca with
their Employers, the Slen Ordered Out
Agralu—500 “lUiikerton” Men on Duty
The coal strikers who resumed work
reported for duty as usual at Post Rich- .
mond. A few were late, but a majority
were on time and went to work appar¬
ently with a will. Freight along the
wharves was banded as usual, and in the
round house all was bustle and activity.
Some of the meu, however, were not so
cheerful and discontent was plainly writ
ten upon their faces. The discharge of
the four men who had been prominent in
the proceedings of the executive board of
the Reading assembly, Bernard J. Shark
ey, Ambrose Hide, Thos. B. Bennett and
John B. Kelly—was the causo of this
dissatisfaction. The sudden change of
front °n the part of the railroad officials

n d ,? e indignation. The strik
ers t thought the ( , company would only ^ in
or ip mi oye ^°! and i that the men who ^ sobe were ien<l so
,
summarily dismissed would not be dis
turbed. The determined attitude of the
railroad company annoyed the men and
made them very stubborn, and they
threatened to renew hostilities,
Most of the men were at work along the
wharves, but there were not a few idlers.
They gathered at various meeting situation, places
and excitedly discussed the
Some of them roundly denounced the
the Reading officials for w hat they termed
‘ 'persecution” of their leaders.
Shamokin Reading railroad Knights of Labor at
declare, that they will not re¬
turn to work until their discharged asso¬
ciates at that place arc reinstated. Three
train crews of non-union men are at work,
but there are 85 locomntives there with¬
out crews. The coal miners in that local¬
ity are all idle owing to a lack of trans¬
portation facilities. Railroad strikers,
however, declare that, the miners will go
on strike as soon as requested to do so.
Good order prevails among the strikers.
Chairman Lee, of the executive com¬
mittee of the Knights if Labor, revoked
the order to go to work, and once more
called out Philadelphia and Reading men.
The tact that about thirty members ol
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
obtained engines held by the Knights
has made the feeling between these par¬
ties very bitter, and probably 300 new'
hands have been'employedin the place ol
old ones and sent to points where they
were needed.
At noon the whistles of one of the
engines was blown five times, lev™ as a signal

fires. The superintendent of the com
pany states that the other seven crews
remained loyal to the company.
Over TOO coal handlers left the yard
and leaders said thay obeyed an order to
strike and the superinsendent said they
had gone homo on account of the rain
and intended to come back again.
Superintendent Keim denies that thers
is a strike, and while there was no trou
ble of any kind during the day, tin

men. It has, in addition to these, 50(

reason for action was
a fear that some damage to property
might be attempted. The men assert
there the is no excuse and for sending policemei

A Man Kills His Wife and Six Children
and Then Commits Suicide.
A tragedy took place in Lee county, Ga.,
which almost rivals the Woolfolk tragedy
in the number of its victims, and eclipses
it in that the criminal added his own dead
body to the funeral pile. The scene as
described is shocking in the extreme.
Nathaniel Read was of a sullen nature,
extremely jealous, and highly passionate,
and was always at outs with his family,
which consisted of a wife and six chil¬
dren. His wife lived in dread of him,
and his children cowered in his presence,
and always sought some place where his
eye could boy who not rest staid upon with them. the family. According Read
to a
was taciturn and angry. He would sit
for an hour at a time with an ugly-look would -
ing dirk in his hand, which he
pass over his other hand, as if in the act
of strapping it. Whenever the children
would come near him he w ould grit his
teeth and mumble curses. After dark he
feigned sudden sickness, and told the
boy to go for a doctor. The boy ran, and
it was several hours before he returned
accompanied by a physician. They were
astonished to find the house a mouldering
ruin, while the stench from the roasted
corpses was unendurable. Not much
could be done in the way of investigation
until daylight, when about fifty neighbors knife
were drawn together. The bloody
was found beside the well. It was evi¬
dent that Read mnst have cut his victims’
throat,, seven in number, as they slept, the
and then set the house on fire. In
well, Read’s body was found. A frightful have
gash was in his throat, which must

well.

handbills on the part of the police, have
been fruitless. The handbills appeal to
the students to join the party of liberty

great, but they are nothing compared
with the sufferings of the people.” The
