Hazleton, Pa., Sept. 26.—It was leartied laat night that Sheriff Harvey of this county has telegraphed to Governor Stone asking that troops be sent to this county on the ground that he (the sheriff) cannot guarantee the safety of persons tit* property during the night tndrches of the strikers.

Monday night's march of 300 men from Cranberry, Tomhicken, Derringer and Gowen probably hastened the uction of Sheriff Harvey in asking for state help.

All the gold Obtained is secured by placer mining. No shafts have yet been sunk for lode mining. Mining In British Guiana is attended by the greatest difficulties and hardships, and there is also some danger to life and limb. The goldflelds are all at some distance In the interior. To reach them the miners have to travel through swamp lands and dense brush, which are infested by alligators. enormoUB reptiles and wild beasts, fcverythlng the miners carry along has to be packed by men. The Essequlbo and Demerara rivers are great rlvera, but they are not navigable for more than 75 miles, owing to many obstructions and frequent rapids.

It is known that the dead in the city will number at least 6,00C4Dr approximately one-sixth of the census population. The island and adjacent mainland will add perhaps 2,000 |o this number. Actual property damage |s incalculable in precise tt?rms, but we have the individual losses and losses iit public property, such as paving, waterworks, schools, hospitals, churches, etc.; which will easily amount to $30,000,000. This estimate takes no account of the direct and indirect injury to business. Along the beach front upward of 2,000 houses by actual map count were totally destroyed. Of these not a timber remains upon the original site, and the wreckage constitutes the embankment of debris extending along the entire beach from three to four blocks inland for about three taitcs, the removal of which will cost from $7.50,000 to .$1,000,000, From this debris there are still daily uncovered by the workmen now systematically employed from 30 to 50 bodies, which are burned or buried on the spot. Moreover, we estimate that 07Vi per cent of the retnalnihg houses throughout the city were damaged in greater or less degree. In the removal of this debris, in the clearing of streets, in making temporary repairs to houses partly destroyed, in distributing supplies and in the general work of restoration our entire citizenship are engaged. Meh whose services could not be secured at this season ordinarily are giving their time without compensation. Firms whose affairs ordinarily require the attention of three partners retain one for the transaction of their business and lend the other two to the public service. The stevedores, cotton jammers and other bodies of organized skilled workmen who command handsome wages at this time of the year have been giving their time free of cost, and one association has besides contributed from the charity funds $1,000 in cash to the general relief, while all other organizations are caring for their own to the utmost of their resources. This devotion to the general welfare at the expense of private interests Is shown by all classes. Visiting newspaper men now here will bear witness to this universal condition of self sacrifice.

An Important discovery Is reported from Paroa in the shape of an inscription containing portions of the biography of the celebrated lyric poet, Archllochus, of Paros, by a hitherto unknown writer, Demeas, who wrote probably about the third century B. C., says the London Athenaeum. The biographer drew his facts, many of which were unknown till now, from the works of the poet and cited the passages on which he based his information. Unfortunately the shattered condition of the stone has destroyed all but a few disconnected words In some of the quotations, but Dr. Hiller von Gartrlngen, who has done such excellent work In inscriptions, has published in the learned "Mltthellnngen" of Athens all that cai be deciphered of the text. It is impossible to predict what will be the action of the miners. If they act as the majority of them feel, 90 per cent of them, according to a well informed miner, will return to work at once, accepting those concessions granted by Mnrklc & Co. and depending upon arbitration to dispose of others to their advantage.

The wounded and orphans are comparatively few siuce only the sturdiest were able to combat the Maddened elements. But a greater and a graver work confronts us. Some kind of homes. In* they ever so humble, must be provided for the 10,000 people now. huddled in ruined houses, public places and improvised camps, to the end that they may not become paupers, but may speedily set up their households wherein repose all that is best and noblest in American life. We lDelieve that fhe well to do and the charitable people of this nation will not be contented to merely appease hunger and bind up bruises, but will in even larger measure ana with more farreaching effect contribute to the restoration of these people to a plane of self support and self respect.
