And are in Turn fired Upon by the

Birmingham, Ala., July lv—.
A bout 5 o’clock this afternoon a
large body of men, armed with
Winchesters, were discovered near
slope No. 3 of Pratt mines, of the
Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railway
Company, seven miles from Bir
mingham
It was the hour when the men at
Work in the mines came out. The
men at work were negroes who had
taken the placesof striking miners,
and the attacking party were strik
ers and their sympathizers.
As the negroes came out the
strikers, who were squatting around
behind bushes and fences, opened
lire. The people who heard it sup
posed it v.as a Gatling gun in the
hands of the troops. Several hun
dred shots were tired before the
strikers scattered.
Guards stationed around the
mines returned the lire, but they
were few m numbers.
The casualties are:
B W. Tierce, white guard killed,
A negro min-r name unknown,
killed.
One of the strikers a Frenchman
name J Racquet was badly wounded
and will die.
Several on both sides were wound
ed. One of the wouuued strikers was
dragged off by his friends.
It was a deliberate attack by th--

their place?, and they shot to kill

ing camps' ihe mining strike has
been on since the middle of April,and
the feeling is growing bitter, being
accentuated by the railroad strike.
Governor Jones saw the miners
committee -this afternoon and beg
ged them to accept the compro
mise lately offered but they de
clined.
The proprietors are, proceeding
to open ail mines with such labor ,
as they can get, and Governor J
Jones is of the opinion that troops
will be needed here indefinitely..
ibe attack this afternoon fol
lowed in less than two hours after
the departue of the troops. The
bitterness of the strikers as illus
trated by the captu red Frenchmen.
He was kneeling behind a cowpen
fence firing his winchester when a
builet from a guard knocked him
over, He raised up and emptied
his gun. He could not speak a
word of English.
The negroes scattered in all
directions when fired on. Only a
tew had got out of the mines when
the firing began which accounts
for the small loss of life.
A GUABNTEED LARGEST SIZE MADE
A FIGHT AT FKATT MINES.
A second battle was fought at
slope No. 4. of the Pratt mines
simultaneously with that at No. 3.
’and the total dead reaches six with
at least a score wounded.
Another mob of strikers had
ambushed themselves near the
mouth of No. 4. whence the ne
groes came in box cars. The train
had proceeded but a short distance
from the mine, when the party in
ambush opened fire. The first shot
went through the window of the
engine cab, flicked some hair from
the head of Aline (Superintendent
J. J. Moore and nearly killed the
engineer. The deputies returned
the volley with vigor and in a
short time the mob began its re
treat towards the centre point,
SIX DEAD BODIES FOUND.
Posses of scouts were hastily
formed m the vicinity of the
mines and the work of searching
tor tne dead and woundeo was en
tered upon The miners made their
escape, except tho.-e unabe to
walk for their wounds, Ten bod
i s were picked up, of which six
w're lifelepH. Many wounded were
helped Hva’ by their comrades.
The names of the negroes dead are
unknown.
George Campbell, one of the
ne„.o laborers, had his leg broken
a> 4 a bullet passed through bis
chin. He says the strikers came
mi him after he was shot, down,
beat and kicked him and then
fired the bullet through his face.
lhe remains of the dead were
all brought to Birmingham. Great
excitement prevails here, the
streets being crowded with terror
stricken people. Every precaution
has been taken to gaard the mines
against further depredation.
The Third regiment of the staje
guard has been ordered into camp
here, and altogether there will be
500 soldiers in this vicinity by
morning,

IN BED FOR 30 YEARS.
SISTERS ALTHOUGH NOT SICK,
REFUSED TO G..T UP.
Canton, Pa., july 16, —The death
of Harriet Sackett, who lived near
Smith's Mills, ended a strang>
life.
Thirty years ago. she and her
sister Julia, although suffering m
no way, went to bed and refused to
rue afaia. They were then young,
and no amount of coaxing could
iuduce them to leave their - bed.
The mother cared for them, bu*
she died. Afterwards other mem
bers of the family carried food to
them. In time Harriett became a
hopeless paralytic. About four
years ago, Julia cue day astonish
ed her friends by getting up, and
she has since acted as other per
sons, z

Harriett was always cold, no
matter how hot the weather, and
usually slept under a mass of
dressed sheepskins. They mv r

duct.
