By United Press Special Wire.
Charleston, W. Va., May 10.—Reassuring reports from the Blkhorn district  were  received  this  morning  at
*tfie oapltol 'and notwithstanding? the
little flurry yesterday afternoon by
the news of the firing on the Virginia
miners by West Virginia strikers, the
(Situation is unchanged today. Among
the flrst despatches reoeived today
was one from Deputy Sheriff Hutbard,
dated, Melch, MoDowell county. It
stated: "In the absence of Sheriff Ef-
fler, who is at Moundsville, I will sky
that there is no foundation for the
rumor that Bollet's men have been
flred upon in McDowell county. Everything is perfectly quiet in this county
this morning.
■; This is authentic and can be relied
' upon.
" It is known that on Wednesday evening several attempts were made to
run the picket* line at Pocahontas and
in one instance the strikers did dot a
little harmless shooting. The whole
section about the Improvement Company's property is most effectually
guarded by the militia and no great
amount of damage can possibly be
accomplished otherwise than by a
combined attaok of the strikers on the
militia which, under the conditions
prevalent is not anticipated nor In
any way likely to happen. Adjutant
General Holly today reported to Governor MacCorkle from Bluefleld everything quiet this morning and a small
force working at Pocahontas without
the slightest annoyance from anyone.
A meeting will be held today near the
Virginia line. A. C. Chippey from the
same place telegraphed thc Governor
that General Holly Is perfectly familiar with the situation and will keep
him Informed as to the facts.
STRIKERS ARE DEFEATED.
Rioters Forever Dismissed* But Skilled
Workmen May Beturn*
By United Press Special Wire.
Chicago, May 10.—It looks tonight as
If the strike at the works "of the Illinois
1 Steel Company were over and that the
company had won an unconditional victory over the strikers. Today the men
Vs ho started the rioting, 70 in number,
were sent notices that they were die*
^missed from the service of the company
^jdfthat under no circumstances would
\.\y be taken back. At the same time
skilled workmen, whose places
tou id be hardest to fill, and some of
whom make as much as 9800 a- month
were notified that if they wished to return they could do so. These men were
driven out by the. malcontents apd
promptly responded to the invitation to
return: At 1 o'clock more than 300 of
them stood at the main gate of the
works and the greater majority were
driven employmnt. More will be taken
in from time to time until byMonday it
is expected the works will be in full
' operation, with perhaps .the execution of
the two blast furnaces at which the 70
strikers worked. There is little chance
now of further disorder.

1 rested hy United States marshalls on

It  extends   to  all   the   territorial   districts of the United States and has recently been enforced by local courts In
Washington City itself.    The fram ers
of   that   act   and   the   Congress   that

Polygamy  Is one  of the  practices  of

I Agent  Dickson  reports  that  this  ag-
| gresslve move on the part of the United States marshals to enforce the Edmunds law in the Indian territory has

! say that  "American Horse" is one of
| the most powerful Indian chiefs of the
country and has always been a friend
I of   the   government,   doing  all   in   his

ENORMOUS SALES OP BONDS,
Crop Prospocts Havo Greatly Improved
—Business Reviving.* Though tho
Gain In Great Industries Is
Retarded by Strikes.
By United Press Special Wire.
New York, May 10.— R. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will say: The event of the we_k
is the demoralization of foreign exchange caused by enormous sales of
bonds abroad. Besides a sale of ten
million dollars of Manhattan and
other railroad • bonds through the syndicate, large purchases on foreign account have been recorded for some
weeks, so that the aggregate probably
exceeds fifty million dollars since the
sale of governments. Safety for the
summer means much for all business,
and the syndicate deems it so fully assured that It distributes forty per cent
of the money advanced by the associates, which releasee a large amount
to   stimulate  operations  in  securities
and products. Crop prospects also
have greatly improved and this is of
still higher importance, as it will do
much to determine the character and
volume' of business after summer uncertainties are over. In addition to
this business is reviving, tho the gain]
in great industries, is retarded, by*
many strikes. The volume of business
represented by exchanges for the flrst
week of May Is 27.2 per cent, larger
than last year, and only 17.2 per- cent,
less than in 1893, but bond and speculative operations have so swelled transactions here that the gain of 14 per
cent, over last year outside New York,
Is for the month .closer indicative to
general business.
Railroad earnings are also better for
the last week in April, exceeding last
year by 10.8 per cent., and the loss for
the month compared with 1893 is only
11.7 ,per cent. The successful bond
transactions caused flames of speculation which had been dying out to blaze]
up fiercely.
Stocks have risen, money is easier
and the rise in stocks has a more substantial basis than before. The output of Iron still exceeds the consumption, but has fallen 1,500 tons weekly
in April. Bessemer pig has been raised
to $10.90 at Pittsburg and the general
demand for finished products does not
equal the recent output, but is distinctly increasing, bars and sheets selling more largely, tho structural specifications are disappointingly slow. The
most noteworthy gain is in orders for
steel rails, 30,000 tons for the Pennsylvania and 50,000 for a Western road.
Failures this week have been 227 in
the United States against 206 last year
and 34 in Canada against 42 last year.

ADMIRAL MEADE'S MISTAKE.
Rendered Himself" Liable to Court Martial by His criticism.
By United  Press Special  Wire.
Washington, May 10. — Admiral
Meade's interview severely criticizing
the Administration as widely published this morning crea ted considerable
excitement and comment at the navy
department. All the higher officials
of the department frankly said that
tlie impetuous Admiral had rendered
himself liable to court martial under article 235 of the regulations whtch
expressly prohibits an officer to communicate by interview or otherwise
any comments or criticism of any department of the government. It is
under this same article that Medical
Inspector ICershner is to be tried at
Nejv York next week upon charges
preferred by Admiral Meade. Under
these   circumstances   it   only   remains
J for some one to make the complaint
against the retiring Admiral when the
President must consistently order a
court martial or order the officer before an examination lo enquire as to
his   mental   responsibility.     The   dif-
j Acuity may be to find an officer willing
to   make   the   complaint   as   Admiral
| Meade is exceedingly popular and his
numerous friends in the service are
today deploring his conceded impulsiveness In the matter.

By United Press Special Wire.
Washington, May lO.-r-Several newspapers have printed despatches dated
at San Francisco, May 9, purporting
to' give advices from Honolulu, that
the immediate cause ofMinister Thurston's recall was the betrayal of trust
he placed In an agent of the United
Press. Secretary Gresham was too ill
to be seen, but when the above statement was shown to Mr. K M. Landis,
his confidential and private secretary.
Mr. Landis said very em p h a t lea ily:
"There is absolutely no truth In any
of these statements. No agent or representatives of the United Press ever
gave the secretary any information of
the substance of any letter received
from the Hawaiian legation.",. The
Secretary told Mr. Degraw, the Washington manager of the United Press,
that he knew the "private advices" referred, to were given out at the Hawaiian legation, but that the information to that effect was not secured
from any United Press source.

London, May 10.—It was rumored
in the lobbies of the House of Commons
this evening that the force of detectives at the approaches to the House

that this step was taken on account

were also a noticeable increase of the

or possessed of much correct information regarding the order ever had a
thought that any such action would be

yesterday the United States sut-treasury received $66,000 in gold in exchange
for such paper money and the same demand, only less pronounced, is felt at

CLEVELAND'S POLICY CRITICISED.
An Ad dross Finally Drawn Up which
Quotes tho Party's Record on the

tho Financial Policy.
New Haven, Conn., May 10.—TheDem-
ocratlc State Committee met here this
afternoon to consider and determine
the attitude of the Connecticut Democracy on the financial question.Chairman
Davis presided and 19 other members
were present. M. B. Cary, of Ridge-
field, offered for adoption an address in
I which President Cleveland's administration and especially his foreign and
financial. policies  were  strongly  com-
| mended. Judge Walsh, of Danbury, opposed the adoption of this address In a
powerful speech. He said the Democrats of Connecticut did not approve
the president's foreign policy.
The judge also attacked Cleveland's
financial policy. Other members of the
committee followed in a similar strain,
altho less vigorously, and finally on the
suggestion of Eli D. Weeks, of Lichfield, a committee waa appointed to consider the address. The address as finally agreed upon quotes the record of the
Democratic party in the last national
and two last Connecticut state platforms in support of the argument that
the party Is and has been in favor of
sound money. It declares that theSheri
man silver, bill brought on the financial
panic; that the Republicans refused to
relieve the country.and that relief came
only when the Democrats repealed that
measure. In conclusion it pledges support to the President in his financial
policy, the only direct statement made,

ODD FELLOW HISTORY.
Growth of tho Order ln the State and
Nation Since 1821.
In view of the approaching parade
in Philadelphia, in which the Odd Fellows of this city and county will participate under the marshalship of General Gobin at the dedication of the
Temple the following bit of history will
be interesting.
Pennsylvania Lodge, No. 1 was organized December 2G, 1821 at John Upton's tavern in Philadelphia. In 1840
there were only 21 lodges in Philadelphia and but 118 lodges in the entire
state.
How the order has grown is well told
In the address of J. D. Hicks to the
grand lodge he said:
"In the days of George the Third in
England the order proved its devotion
to truth and the cause of humanity by
the formation of unions for 'mutual aid
and protection, and It soon found a
safe abiding place in the Anglo-Saxon
heart. In 1808 it reached our shore,but
not until 1819 did America have a real
lodge of brothers. From a small beginning ln Baltimore we find in 1836 about
one hundred lodges and about 7,000
Odd Fellows; and in 1893 we find a vast
army of almost 1,000,000 men devoted
to the principles and enlisted under the'
banner of Friendship, Love and Truth.
This great organisation expended for
| relief for their fellow men over 18,000,-
000 In 1893. In Pennsylvania alone we
| numbered 1063 lodges, reaching into all
corners of the State, with over 106,000
members, and during 1893 over 430 families were relieved and 16,742 brothers
were aided, and the expenditure of thc
munificent sum of $51! 1,000 tells its own
story of thc good work of the Odd Fell
lows of Pennsylvania. This grand sum
was expended as follows:
Relief of sick brothers $420,526 14
Relief of widowed families....     6,584 17
For education of orphans      5,083 91
For burying the dead 131,271 20
For special relief    20,916 64
WORSE THAN POVERTY.
Poor Blood and Nerves Ont of Order-Take
Paine's Celery Compound.
Making a grand total $584,382 06
In the past 25 years we have expended over $11,139,000 for tlie relief of distress and prevention of distress, while
in other states of this great Union our
brethren have been doing quite as well,j
and they have proportionately dona,
fully as much work and as much good
for humanity, and from all parts of thej
civilized world we have the most encouraging reports of the advancement
of our order."

Among all the structures that make
up the human body, the nerves have
been until recently tlie least understood
The roll of the nerves in the digestion and asslmilaton of food Is a highly important one. The question whether the food shall nourish or become a
mere load upon the system is a question of nerve force.
Neglect to satisfy the demands made
by the nervous system carries heavy
penalties. When this nervous force
is exhausted the digestive processes
are obstructed, the body is weakened
and pains of neuralgia', indigestion,
rheumatism. Invade its parts. During repose the nerves and great nerve
centres feed upon the nutritive material that is stored in the blood and
tissues. It is when this supply of
nourishment is prompt and abundant that the nervous system is able
to recuperate, but when the system
has become too tired to appropriate
sufficient nourishment and the nerves
too shaky to get the rest they need,
that best of all blood purifiers, nerve
foods, and nerve regulators, Palne's
celery compound, should be given at
once.
Paine's celery compound has brought
health, strength and freedom from
nervous weakness to thousands of
tired women, "run down" men, and
sickly children. It makes them able
to sleep soundly, to digest their food
perfectly, and to win back health and
strength. The tired brain and nerves
are rebuilt and their wasted parts repaired during sleep, and where nervousness, irritability, and inadequate
nutrition of the nerve centres do not
permit sufficient sleep, nervous prostration, lassitude, and despondency
are sure to follow.
Paine's celery compound guards
against all this by promptly feeding
the exhausted nerves and making the
blood pure, abundant and nourishing.
It cures neuralgia, rheumatism, dyspepsia, all forms of nervous weakness,
despondency, skin diseases, and affections of the heart, liver, and kidneys. It sends pure, vitalized blood
to every organ, and thus makes people well. Paine's eel ory compound
has found its way' originally through
prescriptions by physicians, into every
city and'smallest village in the country!
It would be very difficult to find' ta
man or woman of mature age who
has not either been helped by this remarkable remedy or has heard of its
marvelous properties at first hand
from some enthusiastic friend or relative.
Paine's celery compound is the only
great popular remedy that physicians
of every school prescribe for disorders of the blood and nerves.
Bays Mrs. Kate Manuel, 216% Third
avenue, Minneapolis, whose picture is
above:
"I .have been greatly benefited by
Paine's celery compound. I have taken
six bottles of the wonderful remedy,
and recommend it to all who is afflicted as I was. For years I have suffered from Indigestion, and know not
how to give due thanks for the relief
that I have received while taking
Pain's celery compound. My son-in-
law has taken two bottles for a similar trouble and it has made him well."

EXCITEMENT Bl THE HIGH SCHOOL

Prof. Witmer and his assistants have

Prof. Wit mer at once reported his conduct to Rev. Rock and Informed him
that he could avoid a suspension by
withdrawing him from school. Prof.
Wltmer stated to a representative of
the Report "that Miss Sehmauk had
had trouble with him before; that anything asked of him, no matter how
slight, he would consider an imposition and would rebel. He considered
his presence detrimental to the high
school ever since he has entered it."
Rev. Dr. Rock yesterday afternoon
then withdrew his son and daughter
from the high school. Prof. Witmer
states that he had not said a word as to
his daughter and that there was no necessity for him to have her withdraw
from the high school. The affair created no little excitement among the pupils and Prof. Witmer could not submit
to such an open defiance. Some of the
pupils thought Spurgeon had struck
Prof. Witmer, but this Prof. "Witmer
denies. JW
