The Strike Spreading. Beri, May 12.
The entire military garrison of Dusgsel- dorf is now in the district disturbed by miners’ strikes. Last night the rioters set fire to an oil factory at Lievenfield, caus- ing the complete destruction of the works. The miners at Murlhern and Duisbury have joined the strikers. The strike is spreading. Pitmen at Schleawig attacked the foreman with daggers last night, and drove them from the works. The military arrived at three this morning, and the riot- ers took refuge behind the railway embavk- ment, and hooted and cheered the troops. The commander of the soldiers demanded the rioters to disperse, and upon the third refusal ordered the men to fire. Six per- sons were killed. The rioters then dispersed. The mine owners held a meet- ing at Essen to-day, attended by Govern- ment officials, and passed a_ resolution to increase the wages of the miners to the ex- tent of their demand, but firmly refused to concede the right for eight hours per day.

In Garfield Park over one hundred trees were uprooted. Vivid lightning and terrific claps of thunder createdj consternation. in3the streets cabs and carriages were de- molished owing to runaways, and the police had their hands full stopping horses which were plunging in every direction. Maay building were set on fire by the lightning which seemed to fill the streets. Reports from the country are to the effect that great damage was done to buildings.
