St. Louis, Oct. 13. A special to the Post Despatch from Virden, says: Captain Charles A. Fervier, commanding company Sons of Veterans, of Elgin, is in charge of the stockade built by the Chicago Virden Coal Company.

With part of his men he entered the stockade to day and disarmed the Thiel detectives from St. Louis and the local deputies employed by the operators. The men within the stockade offered no objections to Captain Fervier's command to lay down their arms. General Manager F. W.

Lukens said: "The trouble of yesterday was not of our making. The strikers simply surrounded the stockade. On the east and south sides there must have been at least 1,000 miners. They were in an orchard and were higher than we, and they opened fire. Considering the fact that we only had two men killed and six slightly wounded, I consider it a miracle.

There were thousands upon thousands of shots fired. The strikers began the firing when the train bearing the miners arrived. In a short time their shots were directed at the train. After it pulled out the strikers turned on us. We returned the shots.

I deplore the matter as much as any one. I never supposed such a thing would result when we brought the negroes here." Will Meet at San Francisco. Washington, Oct. 13. San Francisco was to day unanimously determined upon as the place for holding the next triennial council of the Episcopal Church.

13. There was a hot time in town last night. For some time there has been a feud between some of cur colored population and white soldiers from Camp ileade. In the early part of the week a riot was only averted by the timely and determined intervention of the provost guard. Last night about 12 o'clock they ran counter at the corner of Front and Elm streets.

The air was full of blasphemy and razors, neighbors were awakened from their slumbers and from the crowd that gathered it looked like trouble. After the patrol had quelled the disturbance and separated the men it was found that one soldier had vect ived a severe cut in the arm from a razor in the hands of one of the colored men. This morning the pavements looked as though there had been a butchering. No arrests were made. A Bnnk Clerk.

A description of the battle of Gettysburg read at home or in a library or as described by a lecturer in a public hall is enough to make the patriotic blood circulate rapidly through the veins of any American citizen; how much more thrilling and interesting it must be to stand on the battlefield, surrounded by monuments, erected to mark important points, and have an able and fully qualified lecturer describe the conflict. This is the opportunity offered to the participants in the Philadelphia Reading Railway's excursion to Gettysburg on Sunday, October 16th, as Luther B. Min nigh, the well known battlefield guide and lecturer, will give one of his vivid and interesting descriptions of the battle, commencing his lecture at 2 P. M. at Bloody Angle.

O. ootll Bt GETTYSBIKG, HRAY, TON. Harrisburg, October 13, 182S. Of course you know there is very little expense attached to materials of which furniture is made. The wood comes mostly from the South West Virginia and costs comparatively little when compared to the freight.

The expense of good furniture is in the design and work. Take an oak table, for instance. Oak is an unreliable sort of wood unless properly handled but it is so pretty that it is a universal favorite. You cannot get a square piece of oak that will not warp; so it is sawed into narrow strips and the direction of the grain reversed. The first strip is glued to the second, but the grain in the first runs from right to left, and in the sec ond from left to right, and in the third from right to left again.

The joints cannot be seen and are stronger than the wood itself. When enough of these pieces have been joined to make a table top, the whole is sent to a machine plane and made as smooth as marble. From here it goes to the designer, where its fate is determined, If it is to be an expensive table, the designer is an artist as well, and gives it time and care, such, as you never dream of. An artistic designer is a luxury, and produces exquisite effects in grains and cross grains, curves, grooves, or artistic severity. High priced tables are hand carved and afterward beautifully veneered.

Cheaper ones are carved by pattern with a machine veneered or not according to the price haven't time to tell about veneering to day; but it is costly, tedious and exacting work. When the designer has finished' with it, it is varnished three, four or fivecoats are put on and each' is rubbed down with oil and pumice stone until the varnish disappears the more coats the more expensive, of course. And so it is that from the same boards come tables, common 01 exquisite cheap or dear. The expense is in the brain of the designer and the elbow of tKa finisher. We are more careful in furni ture and carpets than most.
