CONDENSED NEW YORK TELEGRAMS. 
Tuesday, Aug. 7.— Miners on strike are still out 
and resolute, but hltUerlo peaceful. The in lina¬ 
ge rs of the coal companies expect u speedy re¬ 
sumption of work. The railroad strike Is u thing 
of the past. The township of Eaton, near Green 
Bay, Wls., has been swept by a terrible forest lire, 
and the large farming community settled there 
have lost all their houses, outbuildings, fences, 
and timber. Woodruff Alula, in the same neigh¬ 
borhood, has been also destroyed. Two entire 
families arc reported to have perished, and three 
others are missing. There lias been a disastrous 
destruction of cattle and all kinds of farm stock. 
At Bertie Station, Canadu, about nine miles from 
Buffalo, a lire is raging through six miles of a 
cedar forest. The Centennial anniversary of the 
battle or Orlskany, was celebrated yesterday by 
the assemblage of about 60,u(i<) people on the bat¬ 
tlefield near Utica, N. Y. Speeches aud enthusi¬ 
astic spread-eagleism. After the terrible comes 
the droll. The colored washerwomen of Galves¬ 
ton, Texas, are on a strike for ft 50 a day, and 
force white women of the same calling to Join 
them In their demands, at the same time ordering 
Ah Sin and Co. to quit, the town In 16 days, under 
penalty of being clawed. Kentucky bos elected 
members to the Legislature — Democratic, or 
course. 
Turks and Russians concentrating forces for 
another buttle. Gen. Gourkhn has retreated to 
Shlpka Pass, in the Balkans. A destructive civil 
conflict Is raging between the Maliomedans and 
Christians south of the mountain range with Buch 
deadly ferocity that vast regions of the country 
wilt probably be left a depopulated wasLe. 
Wednesday, Aug. 8.—At the inquest on rioters 
at Reading Pa., the soldiers were acquitted of all 
blame. The Cabinet has decided not to send 
back to the South the troops drawn from It lo 
suppress the rail-road rlols. General peace In 
the mining regions and along the railroads. 
Gen. Gibbon started on the 4th from Missoula, 
Montana, with 2,000 troops In pursuit, of Chief 
Joseph. lie proposes to march at the rate of 35 
mites a day. Ltout. Buhls with United States 
troops crossed the IGo Grande Into Mexico on the 
4th, captured live stolon horses and returned un¬ 
molested. The movement in favor or restoring 
Lerdo to the Presidency of Mexico, by organizing 
a force lu Texas for the Invasion of that country, 
has been frustrated by the arrest of the leaders 
aud most, of their men by the United states sol¬ 
diers. 
In Europe, the Insurrection against the Turks 
In Bosnia has neeu suppressed. Several towns 
north of the Balkans, captured by the Russians, 
have been recovered by the Turks. Gen. Gourkha 
has been forced back through the Siilpxa Pass. 
News has been received from Mukhtar Pasha of 
a small victory over the Russians lu Asia. 
Thursday, Aug. 9.—At Scranton, Fa., an aider- 
man, who is also coroner, held an Inquest In his 
own ward, on those killed by the vigilantes or 
Mayor’s posse, although the Bring took place In 
another word. The jury brought In a verdict of 
• wilful murder” against the men whose action 
had prevented a disastrous riot. Some or these 
were arrested, and were being taken In a wagon 
to VVllksbaiTc, tiveuty miles away, when the mili¬ 
tary took them from the constitutes, and became 
responsible for rhelr sate keeping. Much ltl-feel- 
Ing has resulted from the action of both parties 
All quiet elsewhere. 
In Kurope, both Turks and Russians are hastily 
concern rat tug their forces about Rasgrad, In Bul¬ 
garia, which wilt probably, ere long, witness a 
great bat tle. In several minor engagements the 
advantage has generally rested with the Turks. 
In France, President, MacMahou lntendH to 
swing roiiud the circle through the provinces, 
to miluenee the elections to be held early In Oc¬ 
tober. 
Friday, August io.—As foreshadowed In yester¬ 
day’s telegraphic abridgement, it turns out that 
the Indictment ot the Vigilantes at Scranton Pa., 
was a trick to get them into the hands of the 
bloodthirsty friends of the slain rioters. The 
name of the, alderman—coroner, who sought to 
curry favor with the congenial rabble by a bogus 
Inquest, is Muhon, The name of a hero should be 
recorded to his honor, that of a scoundrel to his 
Infamy, Yesterday the Indicted posse were 
taken to WUkesbarre guarded by a strong detach¬ 
ment of t roops, and accompanied by the wealthi¬ 
est men of Scranton, ready to go their ball ror ten 
million dollars, since June lost, trade on the 
Chesapeake, and Ohio Canal has been blocked by 
strikers lu Washington county, Md., and yester- 
terday Gov. Carroll, of that State, Issued a procla¬ 
mation warning the strikers, and at once set 
about opening navigation. The regulars have 
arrested nine of the ringleaders at St. John’s Run, 
West Virginia, but no freight has yet been moved, 
and the strikers threaten to burn the boats If an 
attempt Is made to start them. The troops are 
reported to be close on the heels of Chief Joseph, 
■ Looking Glass, & Co., but It may turn out that the 
Indiana have either very long heels, or will show 
a clean pair to their pursuers. The Constitutional 
Convention of Georgia has repudiated a large num¬ 
ber of bonds Issued, us It is claimed, fradulently 
by ex-Goveinor Bullock. Yesterday morning a 
train on the New Jersey Central railroad, connect¬ 
ing New York and Long Branch, ran off the track 
on a drawbridge over Oecanport Creek, midway 
bet ween Long Branch and Red Bank, and three 
passenger cars were plied Into the river. From 
sixty to seventy were more or less severely 
wounded. Two deaths hitherto reported. 
Across the Atlantic, t he Russians having been 
heavily reinforced attacked Plevna again, only to 
be again repulsed. Russia Is hurrying forward 
reinforcements rrom every part- of her vast do¬ 
minions, and her turbaned rival is doing his best in 
the same line. Bervla, which a few months ago 
concluded a SQlemu peace with Turkey, has now 
40,000 men on a war rooting, ready to recommence 
hostilities. The Turks are vigorously fortifjlng 
Gallipoli near the entrance to 1 lie sea ol Mamora, 
The Emperors of Germany and Austria bad a 
meeting on the 8th at Jachl. As was to bo ex¬ 
pected, there was the frankest understanding be¬ 
tween the monarch*, and an assurrance given to 
the world that, the triple alliance between Ger¬ 
many, Austria and Russia, was still unimpaired. 
Saturday, Aug. u.—Fifty-two of the Scranton 
Vigilante* were released yesterday at WUkesbarre 
on *3,000 ball each. Much dissatisfaction among 
the unwashed. Blockade on the Chesapeake and 
Onlo canal continues near St. Johns Run. Miners 
sullen hut quiet everywhere tn ilie disaffected 
regions. Rumora of an extended strike among 
locomotive engineers all over the country, are 
now decisively contradicted. The last strike was 
one of brakemen and Bremen, one of the engineers 
would probably be more serious. A commission 
Is to be sent to treat with Sitting Bull now up in 
Canada. Chief Joseph has again given our troops 
the slip, by escaping through Lolo Canyon while 
Gen. Gibbon was within eight miles or him. 
Senator ConkUng of New York arrived hero from 
his brier European trip, yesterday, and was en¬ 
thusiastically welcomed by his fiieuds and 
numerous admirers. Much smuggling ot laces, 
Bilks, etc., has lately been carried on at this port 
by officers on various steamships, arid yesterday 
the steamer Denmark of the National Une, from 
New York to Liverpool, was seized upon by the 
Government on account or the misdeeds In this 
way or her omeers. 
Over the water, the second defeat of the Rus¬ 
sians at Plevna Is denied. There have been a 
eouple‘of skirmishes or affairs or outposts which, 
In the absence of Important, news, are telegraphed 
to us at length, but which can have no lntluenee 
on the results of the campaign. The Russians 
seem disposed to act merely on the defensive 
until they have received the heavy reinforcements 
ordered up. They will not cross the Balkans again 
moat likely this season, but thoroughly occupy 
Bulgaria between t he Danube aud that mountain 
chain—If the Turks will let. them. In FruhCO 
very oppressive measures are taken by the Mar¬ 
shal’s Cabinet to stamp out Gambetta republican¬ 
ism. Newspapers are suppressed, wholesale, or 
their sale outhe streets prohibited, prosecutions 
begun for "insulting the President" agoiust 
those who venture to apeak against Me Mahon in 
public, aud all governmental officials Informed 
that their Iniluence must bo active against the 
republicans. The latter, however, are still conff- 
denr of a large majority In the approaching elec¬ 
tions. Gen. Grant is wining and dining, listening 
to long speeches,'and making a few very short 
ones In Italy.

land. Some fifty years ago or more a poor old 
woman In Ireland had her house pulled down 
over her head by a landlord. Her name was 
Moille Maguire, and she died of grief and expo¬ 
sure. Thereupon her sons and neighboring lads

took fierce revenge on Irish Landlords In general. 
The band spread rapidly, and they called them¬ 
selves Moille Maguires, aud Irish coal miners 
brought the name to America. 
An Immense grape crop Is maturing In Califor¬ 
nia, and the question la, what to do with it. Cal¬ 
ifornians do not want to see the product of their 
35,000,000 viuos wasted by bad management. There 
are only three or four ways of disposing of the 
crop —domestic consumption, shipment to the 
Eastern States In refrigerating cars, conversion , 
into wine, and conversion then Into brandy. A 1 
new law permits the storage of brandy for three 1 
years In bonded warehouses, and It is probable 
that the Californians will accordingly manufac¬ 
ture brandy on a large scale this year, and hold It 
until the dull times are over. 
Through all the trying time of excitement at- 
1 tendant upon the strikes, out of 12.000 employes

evinced any disposition to erobarass the road.

his men, Air Vanderbilt, has distributed $ 100,000 
variably according to their position on the pay¬ 
roll, among all his employes except among the 
chiefs and clerical force whose position held out 
no temptation to them to Join In the disturbance. 
Governor Carroll, of Maryland, has consented, 
at the solicitation of the President of the Chesa¬ 
peake and Olilo Canal, to undertake the breaking 
of the blockade on tbe canal. The boatmen have 
been on a strike for two months, and they have 
over three hundred boats drawn up tn the neigh¬ 
borhood of Hancock and St,. John's rune, and re¬ 
fuse to allow any boats lo pass either way, except 
In rare Instances. The sheriffs ol the various 
counties through which the canal passes have 
been ordered to disperse the boatmen and make 
the canal free to all traffic, in case of trouble the 
military will be called out. 
Ho Is a little boy that has pluck enough to stay 
at his post aa long as there Is any use of his hold¬ 
ing It, that Is not afraid of threat or presence of 
violence so long as he has duty to do. This Is 
wliat Is reported of little August Dondel, a brave 
telegraph operator, shut up In the Pittsburg rail¬ 
road office during the Saturday night of the 
strike. He kept, on telegraphing without the 
slightest regard to the mob around hlrn. They 
could nor. drive him away so long as the connect¬ 
ing wires responded to his hand. When at last 
they fired the building', he quietly, and with a 
touch of humor, sent his last message, “ Fire’s too 
hot. Good-night," and showed his sense by get¬ 
ting away sate.
