The Lecos of Miltonsburg, Monroe
Co., Ohio, met to celebrate the election of Polk, and having no cannon,
they fastened anvils together, so as to form a hollow, in which to put a
charge of powder. On firing this 'platonic machine,' it bursted
the rings which held it together, and a piece of the iron entered the
side of a young man, about 17 years of age, and killed him on the spot. |

Courageous Woman - We have always understood that the tongue and
the poker were woman's legitimate weapons, and the following fact shows
she knows how to use the latter to some purpose: The Belmont
Chronicle states that a short time since, a man painted black, and
otherwise disguised, attempting to rob a woman residing near Bealsville,
Monroe County, Ohio. She had sold a horse for $75, which fact the
villian knew. He demanded the whole ammount.
She gave him some bank notes, and desired that he would count them.
As he stopped to do so, she struck him over the head with a heavy poker,
and then alarmed the neighborhood. In a few minutes the man was
found dead. |

STRIKING MINERS.
Threats of Violence by Striking Coal Miners Along the Monongahela.
Two Hundred and Thirty Citizens, Sworn in as Deputy Sheriffs, Besieging
the Mines.
Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette.
PITTSBURGH, Feb. 20.
Considerable excitement and uneasiness exists at
Brownsville and other towns along the Upper Monongahela, owning to
recent outbreaks and threatened violence by the striking coal miners in
that vicinity. Nearly all the coal mines have been shut down for
some time, the original cause of the trouble being a reduction in the
price paid for digging.
Within a few days past, several of the mine owners have
attempted to start up at reduced prices with fresh hands, but the old
men become so violent that the new men are afraid to go to work.
The former employes in some instances have taken possession of the
mines, and threaten dire vengeance on any one going to work.
On Tuesday night Sheriff Work, of Washington
County, assembled a posse of deputies at Beallsville, and at 10 o'clock
p. m. he, with 108 men, mounted and heavily armed, marched on
Brownsville arriving there at 4 o'clock Wednesday morning. The
Sheriff immediately went to work arresting coal miners, in many cases
taking them out of bed, and a large number of the strikers were jailed.
In addition to the 108 men from Beallsville, 122 from
California and Greenfield were sworn in and joined the other party at
Brownsville, making the entire number of Deputy Sheriffs 230. They
are camped in Brownsville and West Brownsville, and made many arrests
to-day. Brownsville is in Fayette County, and what authority
Sheriff Work has is not yet known. He telegraphed Sheriff
Dean, of Fayette County, at Uniontown, yesterday, asking his help in
securing the arrest of the leaders but Dean refused to give it,
saying he had no authority to make the arrests.
Gov. Hoyt has placed Company H, of the 10th
Regiment, under Work's command. They are at Washington
awaiting orders. Many of the miners have fled to the mines, where
they have enough provisions to withstand quite a siege, and fears are
felt that a bloody outbreak may occur at any moment. |

A Minister's infatuation, Deserting His Family for the Society of
a Young Girl.
BARNESVILLE, Aug. 30 - The Rev. Mr. Bedall has been in this
circuit two years, acting as pastor in charge of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. He has lived in Beallsville, Monroe County, his family
consisting of his wife, three children, and a servant, Rosa Arnold,
aged about fifteen years. To outsiders the relations of the
members of the Bedall family seemed pleasant, and the pastor
enjoyed the confidence of his people, who intrusted him with the
church collections, in addition to $400 belonging to the church recently
dedicated at Ozark. Mrs. Bedall, however, suspected undue
intimacy between her husband and the Arnold girl, who was
suddenly sent home to her people at Waynesboro, Pa. This incident
gave rise to much gossip in teh little town, and many cases of
suspicious actions on the part of Mr. Bedall and some of his
female parishioners were recalled. Shortly after the enforced
departure of the Arnold girl Mr. Bedell announced to his
wife at that must go and visit his mother who was sick. Several
days later she a letter from him, asking her to come with the children
to Armstrong's Mills, a little station near Beallsville. She had
only $, but she spent seventy five cents for transpiration to the place
of meeting, only to find that her husband was not there. Her
suspense was broken when she learned that he and a young girl were
registered in a hotel in Wheeling, W. Va., as father and daughter.
A letter also was received from him, in which he said that he was tired
of preaching, and was going into the book business. A letter from
Mrs. Bedall's sister said that Bedall and the Arnold
girl passed through Mt. Union together. Mrs. Bedall is left
with three children, entirely destitute, as her husband carried off all
his own as well as the church's money. |

REMOVED.
Special Indian Land Agent Brings His Successor, George A. KEEPERS.
James H. KINNANE, United States
special agent for allotment of land in severalty to Indians, under the
general allotment act, has been removed by President McKINLEY,
and George A. KEEPERS of Bealsville, Ohio, appointed in his
stead. The latter arrived here yesterday morning. Mr.
KINNANE will remain here about a week, inducting the new special
agent in the work, which is important and intricate.
"I shall in about a week," said Mr. KINNANE,
"return to my home in Kalamazoo, Mich., and resume the practice of law,
which I left when coming into this service.
"I, of course, have no complaint to make. My
appointment was a presidential one, and not classified in the civil
service, and as it was one of the best places in what was known as the
field service, it was natural that there would be candidates seeking it
under the new administration. I was, as you see, holding a
commission from a Democratic president during the pleasure of a
Republican president - hence the natural result. I was and am a
gold Democrat, and, like many of those in my state, I voted for Mr.
McKinley for president last fall."
Mr. KINNANE, it is said, has made an excellent
and capable official, and his removal is due solely to political reasons
and the natural pressure for place. He has, during his stay of a
year and a half here, earned the respect of all that have known him, and
will leave many friends in Duluth. His removal was not asked for
by Judge MORRIS or any of the Minnesota delegation. The
appointment of his successor was in the nature of a personal appointment
by the president. |
