The man who ran away from Bangor >ith Auctioneer Michael Carroll’s vealth took about enough to carry him o the Klondike, and some people think ie is headed that way. Mr. Carroll ■ays that the man whom he trusted ind who repaid his confidence by rob >ing him, took USfi. Carroll opened a 'ranch store in Old Town and put this nan temporarily in charge of it. On he fust sales everything was all right ind straight as a string, the man turn ing in every cent of the $120 receipts; but on the second Installment it was lifferent. Carroll was out of town and trade was brisk, $4,xti, so Carroll al leges, being taken in a short tint... With this cash the man gently hut firmly faded out of sight and at last counts was still missing. The special committee of the Port land city government, appointed to ex amine into the workings of the street commission, continued its hearing, Sat urday. Over a dozen witnesses were examined, but little evidence of a dam aging character was brought out against the commission. It was show n that several articles belonging to the city had mysteriously disappeared and had never been accounted for; that Street Commissioner Staples sometimes used bad language when talking to the men; that a cart belonging to the city had been loaned to the Portland Sani tary Co. and had come back to the city stables in a bad condition and had to be repaired at the city’s expense. On the whole, the investigation was tame, and the sensational disclosures at first promised have not yet been brought forth. IT WAS BUTCHERY. Shooting Down of Latiqner Min ers Generally Condemned. Twenty-one Dead, Others Will Die and Scores Badly Wounded. Hazleton Under Martial Law—Warrants Out lor Arrest ot Deputies. Hazleton, Pa., Sept. 12.—Quiet has prevailed all day. Several of the men killed by the deputies, Friday, were buried, this afternoon. Hazleton, Pa.. Sept. 11.—It was a butchery. Twenty-one corpses lie. tonight, in ramshackle frame shanties scattered about this hilltop town, and -to maimed, wounded and broken figures toss tin the narrow cots of the Hazleton hospital. Of these, it is almost a certainty that live will he added to the death list be fore another day dawns. Such was the execution done, Friday afternoon, by 102 deputy sheriffs, armed to the teeth, upon about bit) ignorant foreign ers, whose total armament consisted of two little penknives. These facts are undisputed. Here is the ghastly roil as it stands, tonight: The dead are: Andrew Niekowski, Steve I'rich.

All these men ranged in age from IS to 4.1 years, all foreigners, Hungarians, Poles, Lithuanians and Slavs, and nearly all had or have near and de ir ones here with thorn. Probably many more who were wounded during the shooting by the sheriff's posse have been taken away by their friends and relatives, and others whose wounds are only slight have reft the mountain range probably forever. The people of the town of Hazelton are up in arms on account of what is g tn rally term'd the "brutal butchery" by Sheriff Martin and his 70 deputies. The town is practically under martial law tonight. Brig. Gen. Gobin, com-’ manding the 3d brigade, N. (1. P„ is in command of the town, at the head of a well-drilled and well-supplied army of 2700 men. Soldiers are to be seen everywhere. The outskirts of the city are guarded by the military. Five large military camps have been established. Com panies are marching hitherand thither. Drums arc being beaten, and alto gether it looks as though a dangerous enemy was expected to swoop down upon the city at any moment. But the soldiers have not been called upon to do anything. They wonder why they were called here. There appears to be nothing for them to do. 1 hat the shooting and killing of the 21 strikers was nothing less than butchery is made apparent by the fact that nearly every one of the kelled was shot in the back. Out of the 11 bodies examined at the morgue in this city today, but one young man of 23 was shot in front. He had not loss than six bullets in his forehead and face. Every other body bears bullet marks in the back. Men who have sceafched the bodies of the dead and who have examined the clothing of the wounded at the hospitals says that all they found was one small revolver. This was loaded, showing that it had not been fired. But few of the men carried clubs or sticks or other dangerous weapons with which they could defend themselves. Another fact pointed out by the peo ple is that the attack was made on the public highway. The best that can be said by the sheriff’s people is that they lost their heads and that they believed that the strikers would overpower them or were bent on murder. Hut the strikers appear to be an orderly crowd. They have seen their brothers and rel atives and their friends slain, and not a single hand have they rised to aver age the death of their beloved ones. WATCHING THE SITUATION. Gov. Hastings and Military Officers In Close Touch With Scene ol Trouble. Harrisburg, Pa., Sept. 12.—The Exe cutive mansion has been the scene of much activity during the past 48 hours. Gov. Hastings, Attorney General Mc Cormick, Major General Snowden, Ad jutant General Stewart and Private Secretary Beitler have been on duty almost constantly. A corps of messen ger boys is stationed in the parlor to carry messages from the Governor to the telegraph office and the headquar (Continued on page 1) i THE CARLISTS Watching for Chance to Seize the Throne of Spain.

Sept. 12.—The official dis patch from Havana, giving details 'f the loss of Victoria de I,as Tuna“, says: “The garrison of Victoria d I,as Tunas consisted of 350 men, of whom 135 were siek in the hospital. The place capitulated after an heroic defence. The commandant, with three officers and 75 men, marched out, talc ing with them the sick and wounded. “The insurgents tired cannon at the hospital, although the thig of the ltd Cross Society was hoisted over it at the time. Many of the wounded per ished in the dehris. The insurgent: lost 100 killed.” The persistence of the belief that thi Carlists arc watching for nn opportu nity to take advantage of the present embarrassment of the government over Cuba, as sunn as this could bo done without display of unpatriotic motives, is continually finding expres sion in the more Independent an^l out spoken section of the Spanish press. HI Impsirelal in an article dealing with conflicting rumors now in circu lation. declares that it has reliable au thority for the statement that tic Carlists arc secretly establishing an elaborate military organization. THE X-RAYS USED At Boston With Success on Both Murderer Harris and Carl Butters. Boston, Sept. 10.—An operation was performed at the Massachusetts Gen era! hospital, today, on John Harris, the murderer of Mrs. Butters of Con cord. Both Harris ami Carl Butters, the murdered woman's son, who also was shot by Harris, were photographed with the X-rays some days ago, and the bullets locat* d. The operation on Harris was very successful. It was found that the bullet had been shat tered and part of it was extracted. Both men are getting along as well as can be expected, the doctors say, and, despite the fact that Carl Butters has two bullets in him. it is.thought that he will be able to leave the hospital before Harris. He will not be operated on for several days. THE OLIVE PECKER'S CREW To Be Sent Home for Trial by the United States Ship Lancaster. Now York—Capt.

YELLOW FEVER Has a Grip on New Orleans —Seven Cases Reported. President of Board of Health Says No Fear of Epidemic. City Quarantined on All Sides and Busir.ni Will Sutler Heavily. New Orleans, Sept. 12.—Shortly be fore noon, today, the board of health olHcially declared six of the serious cases of fever on St. Claude street to he yellow fever. A couple of hours subsequently the board announced an other pronounced case of yellow fever at Miru and Ksplanade streets, also in the lower part of the city, but a mile or more away from the infected square. The announcement of the first six cases as yellow fever was not unexpected, although it was hoped from the delay on the part of the ex perts that these cases were simply of bilious malaria. Xo general alarm has resulted here, although the news rapidly spread through the city. The authorities do not believe that tlie situation is ma terially worse than it was four or live days ago. and they are still confident of their ability, with modern sanitary appliances, successfully to quarantine the infected districts. The official bulletin of the board of experts, declaring the St. Claude street rase to he yellow feVer, was received by President oiliphant soon after u o’clock. Of the original 12 cases, all of which had their origin front a case that had onte from Ocean Springs, the six other than those reported, today, as yellow fever, were said, this afternoon, to be practically well, up and walking about their homes. Of the six pronounced yellow fever, four are convalescent and two wt re declared to lie critically ill, one of these having suffered a relapse since yesterday. Among the suspicious cases reported, yesterday, was that of a boy named Hoy. living at Miro and Ksplanade streets. Drs. Lemnionier, Touatre and Malas were sent to make a careful ob servation of the case. This afternoon, they pronounced it to lie unquestion ably yellow fever, and as having ap parently had its original in Scranton, Miss., or in the vicinity of that town. As soon as the report was received the Hoard of Health took charge of the house, quarantined the inmates, placed guards so that no one might come within dose proximity to the premises and set to work thoroughly to disinfect the neighborhood. A brother of the patient who had left the premises some time before the official announcement was given a permit to return, hut or ders were issued that under no cir cumstances to let him or any member of the household to again leave the premises. To a correspondent of The Associated Press, President olliphant said: “Of course I have made this announcement of the existence of seven cases of yel low fever in New Orleans with sincere regret, hut there was no alternative left me, under my pledge to keep faith with the public here and elsewhere, 1 do not think, howver, there is oceasion here for serious alarm unless condi tions shall grow materially worse. We shall have to await developments. "An earlier announcement of the diagnosis of the St. Claude street cases was Pot possible. The board of ex perts. which is composed of able, effi cient and experienced physicians, luul made repeated visits to these patients, but they insisted that they shoul.l be allowed their own time within which to make a complete diagnosis. They de sired to be perfectly sure before pronouncing the sickness to be yellow fever. They reached a conclusion as soon as was practicable and four days ago they warned the country that all the 12 cases were suspicious. "We have now had a total of eight eases and one death, the origin of all which may be traced to the Infected towns on the Mississippi coast. They niay all be classed as importations. "I see no occasion for any panic in New Orleans. The general health of the city is good and it is rapidly being put in line sanitary condition. There (Continued on page 2.)

A TIE OR WHAT? New England League Again In a Big Muddle. President T. H. Murnane Says Brock ton and Newport Are Tied. ■nekton Claims the Championship and the End Is Not Yet. Brockton, Sept. 12.—A telegram was received here, Saturday night, by President Keith of the Brockton base ball team, front T. H. Murnane, th' president of the New England League, asking President Keith to meet the representatives of the Newport team in Boston and arrange for a series of games to play off the tie. There is considerable surprise and dissatisfaction at this notice from President Murnane, as the Brockton team claims the championship, and fails to recognize the right of President Murnane to declare a tie with New port. In an Interview, last night, President Keitli stated that the constitution of the New England League clearly state:, that in the event of a tie the board of directors of the league shall be the tribunal in such a matter. It is the duty of the secretary of the league to prepare a tabulated statement of the games won and lost by each team, which shall be the sole evidence in the matter. The Brockton club has protested the decision of Umpire King in allowing .1 forfeit to Taunton in Saturday after noon's game, and claims that the game should have been awarded to Brockton when Taunton failed to have an extra player in uniform on the field after Burke had been removed from the game. Brockton further protests the gain" Friday morning, at Taunton, between Taunton and Newport, as Mr. Burns, who umpired, is claimed to be a stock holder in the Taunton club. Brockton also protests the ;i to 0 for feit game claimed, Friday morning, at Fall River. There is considerable excitement in the city over the outcome of the games. FALL RIVER IS MAD. They Say Walter Burnham Has Been Playing Sharp Tricka With Them. Fall Kiver, Sept. 12.—The Fall River Base Bali Cluh, having accepted a proposition from the Brockton club to play a game here, Saturday forenoon, appeared at the grounds at the ap pointed time, but the Brockton team was not there, and the game was awarded to Fall River. It is claimed by Manager Marstoi that Manager Burnham of Brockton, telephoned him, Friday, asking if a postponed game could lie played here, Saturday morning at 10 o'clock; that Manager Marston agreed and wired Secretary Morse of the fact, requesting an umpire. At 10 o’clock Friday night, after the defeat of Newport had been announced. Manager Marston received a message from Manager Burnham which read: “Will not care to play Fall River, to morrow forenoon. Thanks.” Manager Marston was much angered at this turn of affairs, and wired a very sharp reply to the Brockton man ager. At the appointed hour, Saturday j morning, the Fall River players, hi i full uniform, took the field, but neither Brockton team nor umpire appeared. Philip Viau was asked to umpire. He went through the formality of calling play. Cronin pitched nine perfect balls ovet* the plate, and then Umpire Viau declared the game forfeited to Fall River, 9 to 0. The Game Will Not Count. Boston. Sept. 12.—Secretary J Morse, of the New Knglnnd I.eaguc. when asked If tile game at Fall River would lie per mitted to stand, said that it would not. as it was not a regularly scheduled game. PRES. MURNANE S DECISION I* that Brockton and Newport Are Tied ter First Place. Boston. Sept. 12.—The Season of the New' England Base Ball League ended yesterday, and. according t2 deputy sheriffs. They were sworn out by the I'nited Hungarian Societies. The warrants have been placed in Un hands of Robert P. Riley, manager of the Anthracite Detective Agency. The prosecutor named is Joseph Hahelato, president of the St. George Society, of which most of the dead miners were niebers. A number of prominent citi zens of llazeltnn. who served as depu ties. are named in the warrants. Detective Riley stated that some of the prominent men of the city have in terested themselves in the matter, and have subscribed money to assist in se curing evidence against the deputies who tired on the miners. THE GREAT S'RIKE SEITLED. 'he Miners Convention Votes to Accept He 65-Cent Rate. Columbus. Ohio. Sept. 12.—The con] miners* strike is pra people to purchase, is the featur. which overshadows all others. A gain of 12 per cent, in one month in the output of pig iron front 165,37l tons. Aug. 1. to 185,506, Sept. 1, miiri than explains the moderate advance n prices of finished products, averaging but 6 iter cent, since the lowest point, Aug. 12. Pig iron is a shade strongei at Chicago. Wheat has risen five cents the past week in answer to the daily increasing foreign demand. While wheat receipts at Chicago have been breaking records, re ceipts at all Western ports are for the week a little below last year s, but At lantic exports. li.770.13S bushels, flour in cluded. indicate a foreign demand appar ently limited at present only to ship room. Since the small corner in August, cotton has relapsed to 7C cents, no rumors af fecting the price much. The final report of the financial Chronicle makes the last year's crop 8.714.000 bales; consumption by Southern mills. 1.204.282, and by Northern. 1,835.000. With the enormous speculative sales of wool which appear to constitute most of the market at Boston, there is also mon buying there and elsewhere by the woolen mills, which are enjoying an extraordi nary demand for goods at prices averag ing net 10 per cent, higher than were paid early in the year. Failures for the week have been 215 In in the United States, against 315 last year, and 35 in Canada, against 47 last year. The 3d Brigade Called Out. Harrisburg, Pa., Sept. 10.—Governor Hastings, tonight, received word from the sheriff of Luzerne county that he had exhausted all his powers in trying to sup press the mob near Hazleton, and now asks for military assistance. The Gov ernor has summoned Adjutant General Stewart and Gen. Gobin, commander of the 3d Brigade, and arrived here, late to night. After a consultation, Gov Hast ings issued a call for the 3d Brigade Pennsylvania National Guard, to proceed to the scene of the rioting. Helps Them All.

In each ease physi cians were at once dispatched to in vestigate. Their reports have been uni formly that the suspicions were groundless. The force of physicians attached to the board of health has been largely increased and the board is in communication with every section of the city.

Turn back with me on life's pathway fur the space of about 40 years and 1 will take you. in imagination, to a small, one story, two-roomed house in the suburbs of a growing Western town. it is a dreary October evening, and a lighted lamp sets n a table within The curtains are undrawn, and one can see the interior of the room, where the lamp illumines a dismal scene. There Is a cheap carpet on the floor, a bed ii one corner, the table, a lounge and some chairs, a few pictures hang on the wall, a neat if humble home. Oil the lied in a faint lies the young mother, a week-old babe beside her ai d an 18-months-old hairy In a sound sleep on the far side of the bed. ’me y.iung husband and father, who is not more than 27 years old, sits at the head of the lied in a maudlin condition, leaning over til! his breath, laden with i he mixed fumes of tobacco and whisky, puds into the sick woman's face and mingles with the scent of the camph.tr ill: whh h he is trying to revive her: while hjs ^ster. a girl of 18, stands xt hi?

After a time the poor sick wife opens lur cy. h and Im gins to sob and moan, and girl passes into the kitchen to pre pare a soothing potion. The room is smaller than the other, and contains one small window and a door; the furniture consists of a cook stove, table, cup board. lounge, chairs and a large chest, and the room is pretty well filled up. The young man owns this tiny house u-bd the lot on which it is built in the suburbs of the town. He is a printer, and uiight hi*vo continued for years to make comfortable living and add to the beau ty and comfort of his horn** had it not Ix'en for the. demon of drink that pos sessed and overpowered him.

Sixty pensioners for services during the late war. are reported as having their mails in Brownfield, One of Southwest Harbor’s most suc cessful summer hotel managers is a wom an. And it is a temperance hotel. This year Lewiston can boast of more miles of new streets, private and pub lic, than almost any other city in Maine. J.

Lewiston s sidewalks are improving. Prom twelve to fourteen hundred feet more curbing than usual will lie put in this year, a ml the expense for the city will lie no larger than usual. The members of the Signal Corps, Port land, are receiving instruction in wall scaling from Lieut. Butler. It is the in tention of Lieut. Butler to have the members practice at forming pyramids and other methods of wall scaling until they are proficient in the art. Mr. Wentworth of Greene, who had the Alaskan exhibit at the fair this year, saved several daring local Klond'ikers who were preparing to close out their af fairs so that they could go there in the spring. To one man who weighed It’.’, pounds tie said, "when you cart march two miles with 200 pounds weight strapped on your shoulders, and not feel tired, you can begin to think about going to Alaska.” Washington papers report a pure white rei d bird on a marsh near there and all tile hunters of the vicinity are out gun ning for him. And worse titan all, other reed birds are peeking at the poor bird who is so unfortunate as to be unlike the rest of his kin. so that between his popu larity with the gunners and his unpopu larity at home the chances of this bobo link for a long and happy winter and a return North next spring are exceeding!V slim.' One young man in Dover certainly should receive a medal for his ingenu ity in securing a bicycle ride without any output of labor on his part. H» was at East Dover Friday evening ir. company with three other young men when his wheel broke confronting him with the probability of a walk home. He. however, thought better of it and procuring a rope tied his wheel to the others and thus rode home in state. Mr. E. lb Winslow, of the Portland Stoneware Company, says that the re turn of good times has been visible for the last two or three weeks. His com pany has done a great deal of business in places to the westward of Portland, and from those regions come the sign-' of business activity. Mr. Winslow ha been preparing for the increased de mand. and during the summer ha. built two new and very large kilns at the factory. As Mr. Milton ('lark *»f Gorham, was driving in Portland with a market wagon loaded with country produce tin* transom bolt broke and let the wagon drop on to the ground. The wagon made a complete somersault and a man who was on the wagon with Air. Clark was under the wagon with the vegetables and boxes on top of him. The bystanders were obliged to remove the wagon before the man could get out. Luckily he was not much hurt. Mr. Clark also escaped injury, but j country produce was distributed over a large portion of the street. A kindly correspondent of the Lewis ton Journal in Brunswick writes relit- live to the Anneke Jans estate which i. j exciting the Webbers of this country so thoroughly, and which the newspaper:; promise is near settlement, with mil lions on millions to he distributed. Our Brunswick friend asks if ii is worth the while of papers of the standing or the Journal to help such things and h adds that the Anneke Jans estate is I fully described in the Half Moon series. published by G. P. Putnam’s Sons, New York, (10 cents), and the Dutch gov-! eminent has long since passed a law. m. king inoperative all claims on such an estate, if it ever existed. "Would h not he well to mention this," asks out correspondent. "and thus save a few of your readers a #5 Dill or so?" While on a visit in Kenduskeag. tin* correspondent of an exchange called on a hermit, who lives in So. Hudson, about a mile from tie* village. His name is Llewellyn R. Farrar and he said that he was born in Harmony, Somerset county, fifty years ago. It is said that when Mr. Farrar was a young man he was engaged j to marry a young lady but his brother j got her away from him and shortly after j he went to Hudson, bought the place where he now lives and built a hut on it. He owns 275 acres of land but has only five acres cleared on which he raises po- taloes, beans and corn. Mr. Farrar is rather odd looking, having curly hair that reaches to his shoulders, and going bare foot and dressing rather scantily. At this j time lie was breaking up a piece of land which he did by means of a windlass, a j wheel about ten feet in diameter and a I chain which was attached to the plow about two rods distant. In time lie can gel quite a lot of plowing done. Mr. Far rar has lived there about twenty-one j years and very seldom goes to the village. I His cabin is made of stone and clay. He j is a good violinist and favored his visitors j with several tunes. When asked if he en joyed life he said he did not and thought j there was no enjoyment for him. j nc epiwmic oi neaxi-eoias wmcn is sweeping over this vicinity,” said my friend, llie doctor, last night, as h> liung up the transmitter after answer ing a call at the telephone, "is due several causes, hut most to one that is not commonly regarded by the public. Sitting in draughts Is dangerous at any season, and overheating combined with a low nervous and muscular energy will, in hot weather or cold, tie likely to produce inflammations in people wiio are as susceptible as most of us in this climate have to lie. But the cause ox" a great portion of the colds of this week is not to tie found there. You remem ber that, within five days, four out of every five inhabitants of Bangor have been at Maplewood park, mixing in with a great crowd, breathing in dust and Impurities and facing strong breezes, which always blow over the park. Add to this experience, with its consequent muscular debility, the trol ley car or buckboard rides in the midst of clouds of dust, and you have the cause for the colds which are afflicting people this week. Fine dust is worse than draughts. Again the air was filled with particles of matter blown from going-to-seed plants, and this Is extremely irritating to membrane.” Lin-o-Type in Bangor Commerical. The president. Leonard Atwood, of the Franklin, Somerset Kennebec j Hailway, informs us that his survey 1 has been completed to West Mt. Ver non, and the surveyors who began at j Augusta have got up as far at Lake Maranacook. and will reach West Mt. Vernon in about ten days. This will be j the first complete survey ever made for a railroad between Farmington and I tide water. As things look now it seems not improbable, that the two companies may be consolidated at some future date, making one line un der one management from Farmington to the tide waters of the Kennebec. We learn that W. t>. Smith of Bangor, has verbally made the contract for grading the road from here to New Sharon, and will probably begin the work right away. Mr. Smith is the same party who did the grading for the new trestle at Strong two years ago. The officers of the road, however, do not verify this statement. Word comes from New Sharon that Leonard Keith, the engineer who has just made the survey, began work in that town this morning, clearing the four-rod strip, and Is working toward Farming ton. Mr. Atwood hoped to make i trade with every farmer whose land the road will cross, to do the necessary •'grubbing”—cut and remove the wood, bushes, etc.—and thus put a few dol lars into our own people's pockets Another report is that Mr. Smith may put on a crew of ISO men at tills end of the road, next Monday, and begin the work of grading.—Farmington Chronicle.

Hosmer, the little son of Carl Jones of Vinalhaven, Tuesday, fell from the grocery wagon, which was ladened witn seven bags of grain, direc tly under the wheels which passed over the body across the bowels. It is feared that the child sustained serious injuries. Walter Olson, a fireman on the Can adian Pacific Railway, met with a most serious accident, a day or two ago. H was sitting on the track near the Greenville station when his engine sud denly started to hack, and before he could get out of the way a wheel ran over his left hand, taking it off near the wrist. Accidents of serious and painful nature, were quite numerous, one day recently, at West Pemhbroke. A little daughter of Mr. Luthc'r Bakin fract ured an arm while playing at her home and William Lyons of Wilson’s Stream.

Senator MeLaurin’s mild protection theories seem to have made him popu lar in South Carolina. The unusual c all for cash at the sub treasuries is one of the surest indica tions that people are investing in the good times. It didn't seem necessary that two such awful railroad accidents shoul 1 j occur within two days in order to im press people with the uncertainty of life. The first instalment of awful tales from the freezing North has arrived. It shows what we may expect our sym pathies to be harrowed by the coming winter. Amid the horrible news from Ivlon dyke, from railroad collisions and colli sions between deputies and striking miners, it is pleasant to note the re ports of better business all over the land. An “undefined” bug is said to be eat ing husks and corn from the cobs out in Wisconsin. That bug should be de fined immediately and if it be the gold bug there will be some satisfaction in having located the insect. _i_i__.Uk— Spanish officials in this country have b.-i-n quite bumptious from the first and if the report that an attache of the Washington legation has been spying on the fortifications at Charleston, his recall should be insisted on. Probably many of those marching strikers who were tired upon could not speak Knglish. If all the contlicting statements attributed to Sheriff Mar tin were made by him he didn't speak it with any advantage to himself. Silver lias fallen 15 per cent, since the Ohio Democrats made the platform they are standing upon. With its chief prop gone their anxiety to get off it is easily understood. They are now wishing they had not nailed the free silver banner to the mast. The editors who with many of their readers and neighbors run over to Lon don and Paris on shopping expeditions are growling about the personal effects clause in the Dingley hill. Other news paper men and the great people as a whole regard it as a just provision. If upon resurvey of the boundary line the city of Chattanooga shall he found to lie within the limits of Georgia it will he a relief to the taxpayers ot t lint city. Tennessee is a ring ridden state with Inspectors of everything from kerosene to milk, all paid in directly out of the pockets of the peo ple. and taxes would be considerably lower in Georgia. Awful Blunder il No Worse. on the eve of the settlement of the great strike of the coal miners, came the report that 100 deputies, armed to the teeth, had fired into an unarmed crowd of 150 men marching along the public highway. Confusing excuses were offered, which are not yet suffi ciently explained and which still ap pear conlllcting and damaging to thos who make them. At the very moment when common sense dictated the utmost prudence and conservatism on the part of those authorized to preserve the peace, a deed so rash that it is difficult to be lieve the perpetrators were in posses sion of sober sense is committed. In stead of waiting until the strikers were actually trespassing, when shooting would lie a duty a sheriff might well hesitate to perform, they are inter rupted in the enjoyment of what they believed to be their unquestioned rights and were shot down, to save, say some, the sheriff, who, had lie been a prudent man, would not there have put himself in a situation to lie saved. It remains to be proved that he was in the slightest danger, though engaged in reading the riot ai t to un armed men walking along the highway, and few if any of them able to under stand a word he said. It has been admitted by all that had the rough, turbulent Hungarians, Holes and the like, who make up a large part of the coal miners, been guilty of riots and bloodshed, the whole cause of the strikers, however just or otherwise it might have been, would havl been ruined. Does not tli same logic apply to any unnecessary attack upon the strikers? It is a poor rule that in some degree will not work both ways. And the utmost charity, in the light of wliat Vo know of it. that can be extended to those responsibh for the shooting at Hazelton, is that it was an awful blunder. "Foreigners” is the way the reports speak of the men fired upon. This probably is not used as a term of con tempt, but it serves to call attention to the reports from the South, telling how '‘negroes” are lynched. It is doubtful if ull of those imported to work in the coal mines are such as are suited to American citizenship, not withstanding the self-restraint they have so unexpectedly exercised in this strike. But it is coming to be gener ally recognized that American citizens, if they have no other consideration than their own rights, cannot afford to have the law violated where negroes are concerned, and whatever lie the kind of foreigner we admit, we can af ford to do no less than see that he has liis rights while here. The injury done at Hazelton is not done alone to for eigners and to workingmen, it is done to Americans at home and abroad, to capitalists as well as those in the em ploy of capital. If it he said that this sheriff and his deputies were the "tools” of tlie operators—and every demagogue will say it—then the latter showed exceedingly poor judgment in choosing their “tools,” in the light o! evidence thus far. It is to he hoped that tills sheriff and his deputies will tie able to prove a better defence than they yet have done. Canadian Custom/. The instructions recently given to the collectors of Canadian customs serve lo call attention to the discrimination Canada lias attempted against our products. By these it is seen what countries are to enjoy whatever of ad vantage may come from preferential duties. Tlie British Isles, Belgium, Germany, France, Algeria and the French colonics, Argentina, Austria. Hungary, Bolivia, Columbia, Denmark, Persia, Itussia, Sweden, Norway,Tunis, Switzerland and Venezuela are to have a reduction of one-eighth of the regu lar duty on the goods they may im port and also there will be refunded to them the excess they have paid on the goods already imported since the new tariff went into force. This leaves no doubt about the intention of Canada to slap the i’nited States. it may not no easy to unuersian 1 just what is meant by duty that lias been paid under the new tariff decide I upon. Canada has no squeamishness about retroactive duties and her im porters do not think of grumbling be cause she makes use of methods to prevent them from disturbing revenues and trade generally as is done in this country. The bill as framed in com mittee was kept a profound secret. No information could be obtained by those outside and consequently there was no opportunity for speculation. When the bill was ready to leave the committee all the collectors were notified to col lect the duties prescribed by it. Any changes made in the bill afterwards and before it became a law do not affect the rates imposed during the in terim. Thus April 2:!, 1S;*7. the rates fixed by the bill as decided in com mittee went into effect although the measure did not become a law until June 29, 1897. Usually there would be no refunding of the revenues obtained during that time, whatever the change made in the bill before it linally passed. But in this instance Canada is so eager to show her preferences for all coun tries except her nearest neighbor that she refunds the one-eighth of the regu lar duty secured during the interim This country will bo little disturbed by it. Better all the preferential duties Canada can devise than the one-side i agreements, misnamed reciprocity, that she has tried to have us agree to. Insurgents Discredit Weyler Again. The capture by the Cuban insurgents of the town of Victoria de Uas Tunas by Generals Garcia and Italic and the consequent control of the province of Santiago de Cuba by the insurgents cannot he pleasant reading for the friends of Weyler in Spain and the Azearraga ministry. The capture is a very important one. Notwithstanding the probability that the insurgents will evacuate when the Spanish mass their troops for assault upon the town the mere fact that the Cubans were able to capture it despite its garrison of 300 behind fortifications which had recently been greatly strengthened exposes the falsity of Weyler’s boasts. Not only is the revo lution not at an end but it is seen to tie capable of one of ihe boldest and most successful attempts yet made. This town is not like those concerning the taking of which there have been frequent reports. Those were suburbs on practically unfortified place s.througn which a band of insurgents would ride scattering the Spaniards, levying tribute, burning a few houses and scattering in all directions before pur suit could lie possible. This report of the assault upon Victoria de Las Tunas, and it is said to lie confirmed at time of writing, tells how there was sharp lighting, and in other parts of the province, which has been wrenched from Weyler, there was such fighting as some have been unwilling to concede the insurgents capable of. This stroke of the insurgents may have an effect upon the politics in Spain at this critical time. Immigration Statistics. The Immigration Restriction League is sending out a pamphlet containing statistics relative to (ho immigration for 1897. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1896, the total immigration was 343,267 and for the year ending June A LETTER TO WOMEN From Mrs. James Corrigan. For seventeen years I have suffered. Periods were so very painful that I would have to go to the doctor every month. He said that I had an enlargement of the womb, and told my husband that I must undergo an operation, as I had tumors in the womb, and it was a case of life or death. I was ope rated upon twice, but it did not seem to do me any good, it made JI mo very weak. M 1 I was troubled m with the leu- Jm corrhtea a w great deal. ■_ I also suffer ed with the J^ji sick headache, vomiting /-j spells, back- ache all the time, terriblepainin mylcft side,chills, loss of appetite, and could not sleep nights.

I wish that every woman that is troubled as I was. would try that medicine. Oh! it is so good to feel well, and it isall owing to Mrs. Pinkham’s kind advice and medicine. —Mrs. James Corrigan, 284 Center tit. Jamaica Plain, Mass. 30, 1897, 230,832, a decrease of 112,433. The number debarred in the former year was 3037 and for the latter 1880. The per cent of illiterate was 29 and 27 respectively. Upon these and other features the following remarks ar. made by the editor of the pamphlet: 'The fact that immigration which was one-third larger in 1896 than in 1895 has fallen in 1897 below that of 1895 is another illustration of the law that the number of immigrants de pends upon the degree of industrial ac tivity im this country. And this leads to two important conclusions: First, that immigration will increase again j rapidly as business activity increases; second, that the present is the time I when the immigration laws can be amended with the least hardship to immigrants and the least disturbance to the immigration service.” "In regard to European immigration in 1897 it may lie noted that while the proportion of the total immigration from South Eastern Europe has not diminished, the proportion from North Western Europe which was 52 per cent in 1895 and 39 per cent in 1896 is only 3X per cent this year.—a steady decline, of immigrants from particular coun tries the Swiss, Scotch and Portuguese have this year fallen below the number of 2000 while the Poles have increased again above that number.” The number of persons in each hun drid immigrants who cannot read and write their own language, was found to he on an average: From the United Kingdom,France,Germany and Scandi navia, 3.6: from Austria, Hungary. Italy. Poland and Russia, 39.9. The fact that our immigration from the former group of countries is rapidly falling off while from the latter group it is rapidly increasing when there is prosperity in this country is the alarm ing feature to all who fear the intro duction of too many of those elements which do not readily assimilate with those we already have. Counting the Cost. Your foot is the tiniest that trips, love. Thro' the maddening maze of the waltz; Two blossoming buds are your lips, love. Your eyes say your heart is not false.

But, no! there's a frightening fear, love, That will not allow me to speak. You're spending three thousand a year love; I'm making twelve dollars a week. —Harlem Life. Even the rose bushes are yielding a second crop. If the spirits of those whose bones are resting in a pretty little cemetery down in Prospect can look down on the "goings on” there they must have con cluded by this time that the commu nity is making greater efforts to amuse them dead than was ever attempted while living. Last spring the people of the place split into two factions over a name for the cemetery, some wanting it called "Riverside," others "Brown ledge.” The former faction after many meetings claimed it was settled in their favor—though several of the doughty warriors on the other side declared the question was open. However a neat sign bearing the inscription “Riverside Cemetery” was erected over the en trance. Immediately Capt. G. YV. Dow shouldered an axe and set out. YVhen he returned he bore that sign aloft in triumph. Later the "Riverside” people had their name lettered on the arch wa>. Then Capt. Dow painted it over with white paint. Then the sexton sandpapered the paint Viway and just now the keen suspense that precedes the decisive battle is more oppressive thereabouts than dog day wn which Captain Isaac Virgin from Can ton rode with the 1st Maine Cavalry. The same straps are on it with which he used to fasten his knapsack and blankets. Once while Captain Virgin sat in this very saddle a horse was shot from under him Such relics may now lie common enough hut it will lie hut a few years before they become rare. Ellsworth American: This is good news from our West Franklin corres pondent "The stone men have sold to New York men all the paving blocks that have been piled up for the last two or three years. There are prospects of a lively fail, in the shipping line, at Franklin Bay. Don’t you see the ripple if the coming wave? Frank Bradbury has just put on a crew of paving breakers, notwithstanding the fact that silver lias fallen.

Moral: It will not do to believe all you read any more than to believe all you hear. A Dover pastor is getting hack at the men. He spoke one Sunday evening recently on a topic of especial interest to the men, his remarks being directed to them. There were more women present than members of the male sex. Consequently the next talk will lie on the subject “Elect Women” and it is easy to guess what view this pastor will take of it. i nere was a very romantic marriag" in the little community of Lowell.

Dodd and Men Give Exhibition W» II Worth Witnessing. Several Thouwndt Present, Every Person Ap plauding— Rsceptlon in Evening. All the forenoon long, Saturday, the men of Troop F put in some hard work unpacking and brushing out their dress uniforms, cleaning up accoutre ments, getting ready for the drill in the afternoon. Many ladies and gen tlemen visited the camp in the early part of the day and had an opportunity to get a very good idea of the routine work of the cavalry camp and the strict discipline maintained at all times. Among the forenoon visitors were the veneral ex-Senator Bradbury, Ma jor McGuinness of the United States arsenal of this city, and Adjutant Gen eral llichards. The horses were carefully groomed, something that Capt. Dodd is very par ticular about, and the animals looked sleek ami nice. Some people were sur prised that the horses were lean and not fat. A fat horse would he of very little service in the cavalry, but you could not count the ribs of Troop F's horses, could you? The horses are fe.l just so much every day, and very reg ularly. This keeps them in not an over-fed condition, but they are hard and muscular, well fitted for the rough work they are so often called upon t> perform. All the men reported for duty In the morning, not one being on the sick list. Hospital Steward Williams, a very [deasant young man, doles out pills an 1 tablets for all kinds of ailments, and Lhus far has successfully handled eases reported to him. Corporal Greppo and Sergeant Itentz.who had been ill for two days, were again in the saddle, ready for business, and they are two valuable men. Capt. Dodd takes es pecial pride in First Sergeant Harbi son, who has been with the troop for 10 years. The sergeant is a magnifi cent rider, as all who saw the troop drill can testify. Mrs. Dodd, daughter and son, and Mrs. Moses, wife of Lieut. Moses, were in camp most of the day. Captain Dodd's troopers never gave a better drill than was given in this city, Saturday afternoon. It was un fortunate that rain fell in the middle of the day and until within an hour of the time set for the drill. This kept thousands away, for it had become current that the drill would not bo given if it rained. At 3.30 o'clock, at least 2500 people hail gathered on the field, and this number was consider ably augmented during the next half hour. It was 4 o’clock when the troopers went upon the field for drill. The space marked out by guards was the fiat section of the field in front of Na tional Guard headquarters, extending clear across the campground to Win throp street. The Togus Home band was stationed a short distance directly in front of headquarters, and during the wait before the drill in full dress and between that and the fatigue dress, discoursed fine music. When the bugle call sounded ‘'For ward,” all faces were turned toward the camp of the troop, which was set in front of the mess houses and on the ground usually occupied by the Na tional Guard. Troop F moved out upon the field in column of fours, the gallant Oapt. Dodd on the right, ac companied by a trumpeter. Down the field they came, a glorious column of bay chargers, set by a troop of sturdy riders, in the gay colors of blue and yellow. Tossing yellow plumes tv tlected the rays of the sun. that by this time has struggled through the rifts in the clouds as though to lend addi tional glory to the occasion. Simulta neously with the appearance of the column, the crowd broke into applause. It was a magnificent spectacle. It wap soul-stirring. Many a war veteran, spectator to the event, found it ditfieull to refrain from “marking time” to tin music, and from “falling in” in tin roar of the column. When near the eastern ena oi in field, the troopers guided their horse; into that side-step movement that ha; caught the people everywhere tin troop has appeared. Across the field the horses seemingly proud to do th. trick, zig-zagging in and out in a ser pentine course; now in column oi fours again; then by trooper; the ban playing waltzes and galops, the horse, following the cadence; the men sittinf their mounts straight and motionlesi except in the movements of the horsei in the changes. The handsome beast; seemed anxious for the drill and whei the light touch of the bridle rein wa. felt on the neck, they quickly respond ed. The trained cavalry horse is no guided by the bit. Holding the rein; in the left hand, to guide the mount t. the right, a slight movement of th. hand to the right, so that the left reii will touch the neck, is enough t. swerve the horse. Capt. Dodd nevei I allows a trooper to pull sharply on th. 4K iujsik bit In stopping; a slight pull is all that is necessary to bring a charging horse to a full stop. Among the pretty features of the drill was the movements made in pla toons backing out and through oppo site lines; riding in circle and weaving in and out of; riding under arches formed by raised sabers and wheeling by fours, to right and left about, con tinuing the movement by "fours in circle." The troop moved down the field .to, the Winthrop street end, formed in line, and, in solid line, broke into a trot for a short distance, then, at the com mand "Charge!" raised the sabers high in the air, gave a yell that can never lie reproduced in type, galloped madly down to the other end of the field. What magnificent riders are Capt. Dodd, Lieut. Tate and Lieut. Moses. Don't they look grand on their flying steeds. It would require a very de termined force of infantry to resist the charge of Troop F. There is lifo in that charge. There is demoralization in that yell and there is downright fun through it all. Capt. Dodd charged both ways of the field, giving the crowd at both ends a chance to catch the full effect of the charge. After a few more brilliant maneuvres the troop retired from the field to change from full dress to that of fatigue. During the wait the band gave a short concert that was appreciated by the great crowd. When next the troop appeared, the men looked as though, they had prepared for business. In place of the heavy dress coat and cum bersome helmet, they wore the blue shirt and light service cap. Then came the rough riding part of the pro gramme. liy fours, l>y twos and by troopers, they scoured the field. Draw ing up in line at one end of the field the field the men prepared to ride standing. This was done by taking the stirrups and crossing them over the saddle, bringing the stirrup itself well up to the top of the saddle. Standing in these, the men drew their revolvers and began a charge down the field fir ing and yelling as they rode. This was wild enough for the most exacting. Saddles and trappings were removed and the exercise of mountings and dis mounting in various ways was given. This was excellent. The vaulting to the back of the horse and then tum blings therefrom were acts requiring muscle and training. The horses were made to lay down, the riders remain ing on the back until reaching the ground. Then followed fast riding,dis mounting and remounting on the run: letting the horse loose and catching it again, assisting a comrade to the back of a horse behind a rider, going about the field at will in a general way ex emplifying the exercises in which the men had been instruc ted for service in the field. This last was somewhat amusing and was a fitting climax to the afternoon's exhibition. All through the exhibition, which continued for more than an hour and a half, the- audience was enthusiastic, re peatedly applauding the work of the famous troop. Among the guests at camp were Mayor Choate, lion. J. \V. Ilradburv, Major McQuinness, Adjutant General Richards, Capt. Morton of the United States Army, Major Robinson of the Second Regiment, X. G. S. M., of Ban gor. Col. G. A. Philbrook. This after noon's entertainment was concluded by a short concert Icy the Home band, during which Capt. Dodd and his offi cers met many of Augusta’s prominent citizens. THE BALL IN THE EVENING. Officers ol Troop F Entertained at Ihe Arsenal by Augusta Citizens. Thanks to Major McGuinness, the reception and dance given to the offi cers of Troop F, 3d IT. S. Cavalry, at the arsenal, Saturday evening, was a most enjoyable affair. The major had the hall decorated with the Fnited tates colors, and everything was ar ranged so that it passed off in a most ship-shape manner. The gathering was made up of mili tary men from all over the State, pres ent in full dress uniform, several of the State officials and the leading society people of Augusta, Hallowell and Gar diner, about 120 in all being present. Major McGuinness, assisted by Adju tant General Richards and General Connor, received the staff offletyrs and guests of honor, but otherwise the af fair was of an informal nature.

ANOTHER OF THOSE ROMANCES Which New York Pipers Art Willing to Print About Mains and Worth Roading. A writer in the New York Herald says two hunters, XoOte Johnson and Arthur Stevens, who have been laying out a lino for this winter's operations in hunting and trapping in the Allagash region in Maine, tell of a strange find in a ravine at the foot of the Ol as aces mountains. It is not another Klondike, but a strangely assorted couple, who have lived alone in the northern Maine wilderness for fifteen years—an old man with snowy white hair and beard that reach almost to his waist, and a beautiful young woman, with an al most angelic* face and unsurpassed figure. Of course, there is a story behind this voluntary renunciation of all things con nected with the world. Not one human face besides that of the old man has this fair girl seen for fifteen years, until these hunters stumbled upon the rude hut in the night, while lost in the wilderness. She is eighteen years old and. according to the patriarch's meagre account, came to tills wild spot when a babe of fourteen months. For a few months there seems to have been another man with the couple but his relation to them was not named, and a stone slab set by a mound near the cabin and bearing an inscription in a for eign language did not add to the knowl edge of the hunters. The discovery of the cabin was by pur est accident, and almost as startling to the prospectors as to the occupants. They had become “turned around” in a dark, misty night while returning to their camp, in Allagash lake, after a long day’s tramp. Suddenly there burst upon their ears a musical note so pure and sweet that both men declare they thought an angel was floating in the air above them. They had no cause to believe there was a human being within twenty-five miles of them, and the sweet tones of a woman’s voice were indeed startling. “That’s an angel all right,’’ whispered Johnson, “but I’m not skeered of any thing that sings so sweet.” The voice rose, clear as a flute, above any vocal tones the listeners had ever heard before—and Stevens has travelled, and claims to have heard many of the best singers of the day—then the soft vi brations trembled on the night air as the descent was made, until Johnson declared be could hear angels’ wings about his head. Finally the music ceased, and the spell was broken. The hunters, after bracing themselves by a whispered consultation, decided to investigate. The hut was discovered and application for a night's lodging made. The distress of the old man was uppnr ant and pathetic. The wonder of the girl was unbounded and unconcealed. Mem ory of all faces but one had been swept from her mind years ago. lilt* 11 u lilt'll w r I" immi'i uiuiii, ml during the night managed to draw ut. in ;i fragment.!ry manner, the story of the strange couple. The old man. it is vident. had occupied a high position in Ids early life. and has given the girl, whom he claims to be bis granddaughter, a thorough education in everything but humanity. His lessons of the doings of people have been, heretofore, like fairy tales to the child. She has realized noth ing of life but constant association with nature in her home preserve. Eighteen years ago. Searles Hastings left a large town twhich he refused to name.) near Philadelphia. Pa., with a baby girl his grandchild, lb- was accompanied by a “friend” and tied to the* White Mountains, in New Hampshire. It was spring time, and in the autumn the journey was con tinued to northern Piscataquis county Me., where? the hut now occupied was reeled. The cause of the mysterious flight from civilization is held as tile secret of a tot tering old man. The girl was in absolute ignorance* of even the scanty information vouchsafed by her guardian. Will the tory ever be unfolded to the world? What a Held for the novelist, and what strange tale might somebody be able to add to that of Searles Hastings, if that is his real name! But above all things, what must be the fate of this child of na ture. alone in a great wilderness, when her only companion passes into dissolu tion? It must come soon, and will he l**ave any record of the past that must liave been to some one a sad mystery? These questions naturally arise, and were aske d, by the hunters, but to all the trange recluse only shook his head. He begged the hunters to preserve his secret and place eif abode from the world, even pleading on his knees and with tears in his eyes, that no one* be led to his forest home*. Truth is sometimes, if not always, stranger than fiction, and certainly the story of the hunters bears the impress of truth. They arc* known as quiet and ve racious men among their fellows, and not given to yarn” spinning. May the re not be some one* in the region of Philadelphia able to recall tb«* Incident of nearly a score of years ago? Her Opinion ol Men “Yes,” said old aunt Philenda Broad head, who had hurled three husbands, "men in their dispositions and possi bilities. resemble nothing else in the world that I can think of so much as they do a lot of toads—you can never tell In advance which way they are going to jump when you poke ’em, nor. for that matter, how far. “There is a proverb which says that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach: hut some men are dys peptic. and the riot in their internal economies cuts off all communication with their hearts in that direction. You can win one man's everlasting subservience by the successful appli cation of a mustard plaster to the proper portion of his anatomy at th ordained time, and the same action will make a tyrant or a misanthrope, or both, of the next man. One man can be subjugated by making him afrai-1 of you, and another by making him think you are afraid of him. You must talk to one man and listen to another "All in all. about the only infallihh rule r"garding men folks that I hav« gathered from my experience with them is that the man who before mar riage loves a woman the most extrava gantly, after marriage loves her thf most economically.

Various reports have been afloat about the cause of the accident on the Maine entral at Ktna, Sunday. Some of them would never have been given out had their authors possessed the slightest idea of the eonstruetion of car wheels, the action of automatic air brakes, the man ner In which cars are coupled, or divers other details. An eminent Watervllie authority who writes from knowledge born of gen ins. and wisdom that comes from being 40 or SO miles from the scene of the wreck, springs the following upon the unsuspect ing reading public, (ailing it a correct version: "It was due to the breaking of a flange upon one of the ear trucks and the sagging of the ear broke the connec tion. Quick as a Hash the automatic brakes were set and with a jump given from the broken trunk threw the ear completely over onto its top. trucks up, in a ditch not over eight feet to the south side and three feet below the road grade." It Is quite evident that the writer of this entertaining squib did not examine the damaged car wheel closely, liad he done so lie would have no doubt discovered that the bolts holding tile retaining ring were broken, permitting the tire of tin wheel and flange to become loosened, re sulting in the wheel leaving the iron and causing tin- truck frame to swivel on the rocker holt. 'mat tin- wrecked car immediately broke connection with the one to which it was coupled when the damaged wheel left the^ rail is absolutely false It did nothing of the kind. Any one who has examined the marks found on the ties knows better. The car did not break its connection with the car ahead until it be gan to turn bottom up. and this did not take place until the ear had gone 200 feet from where the damaged wheel left tin iron. Had not lHo ditch been more than of average depth, say two or three feet there is good reason to believe that the ,11 would not have tipped over, would not have broken its connection with the line aheau, and that the train would have hem stopped without the passengers be ing injured beyond a severe shaking up. Where the ear tipped over the ditch is more than six feet deep figuring from tin top of tile rail. When the car tipped it tlid so as quick as a Hash, and until it be gan tile forward wheels remained on the iron. This fact is clearly shown by the utter absence of any marks on the ties made bv tile forward set of irn.,L. After it turned it slid along in the wet .-ind mucky soil perhaps its length, not more. It is doubtful if the brakes on the damaged ear or (lie ones forward worked before tne ear took the Hop. it is decid edly doubtful if the connection of the air in tween the two ears was severed until tlie wrecked ear had traveled 300 feel from the point where the damaged wheel left the rail. Any one who inspected the conditions after the wreck Is well aware •hat the rear end of the ear went towards the ditch very gradually. The rear set of trucks ploughed for several rods through a lot of ballasting in side the track that extended into tlie ditch several feet and nearly on a level with the ties. As the ditch became deeper the shoulder nar rowed to the accustomed width aid at this point iho car was overturned. Tile train stopped as quickly as the air brakes could stop it at the rate of speed. f| •'•'it the engineer could have stopped tlie train sooner, as has been said, is an unwarranted assertion. Possibly had his eve noted the ear when it first swung out of line and he had reversed the engine, he might have saved running a few feet. Hail he been watching tile rear end of the train at the time he most certainly would have been neglecting his duty in ap proaching a crossing. Tin- average speed of Conductor Owen’s train betw.cn Newport and Ilangor, fig uring stops, must lie at least .3.1 miles pi r hour. That the train was running this speed or above 3ii miles an hour is untrue, as anyone who is accustomed to traveling on the railroad and was aboard the spec ial at tile time of the accident must know. This is quite well demonstrated also by Carol MeCrillls of Dexter, a rail road employe who stood on the platform of the wrecked car when It began tolling and who jumped, running a number of steps before lie fell. He was uninjured, tint much frightened as he would no doubt tell. As before stated in the Commercial tlie wrecked car was practically now. recently taken nut of the repair shops at Wator ville. bad ns good wheels under it as any passenger ear on the road, had been ruli regularly on Conductor Owen's train since '33. and was regarded by the train hands as one of the most substantial of any in the train. South Kennebec Fair. Posters are nut announcing theltig saved. Cpon reaching home lie was ill for srv oi a I months. ills next voyage was with Capt. Henry Bradley with whom tie shipped as first mate to Central America. I’pon the homeward passage, he was washed over board by a heavy sea, but was landed back upon deck by the next wave with several ribs broken by striking the side of the ship. Two years ago. he broke a linger while handling iron aboard his vessel. This was not properly attended to and later he was ohligt 'I to have it l'ebroken and set. A few years ago. while at work on an ice dam, a piece of granite fell and terri bly crushed ids left ankle. Another time be was caught between two vessels and both legs were broken, one of which it was necessary to ampu tate. The Latest Theory. The latest, anil what will doubtless seem to many a very reasonable the ory. is that it was not the breaking til' the wheel that caused the car to leave the track, but the derailment of the car that caused the breaking of the wheel. It appears that some wheel, possibly the broken one, ran along close to the rail for some distance, and in this way the nut ends of tin- ten bolts may have been broken off. An Associated 1'ress dispatch from Newport last night says that “the hi el was produced, and was shown to have had Haws in it, though no evi dence was obtained that would show the exact cause of the accident.” As a matter of fact, the wheel did not arrive in Newport until after the hearing had been adjourned and th commissioners started for home. Whatever max hax*e been ascertained from an examination Friday night, if anybody remained In Newport xvho had authority to made an examination, it is certain that tin- wheel did not ap pear in the hearing.—Bangor News, Sept. 11.

Tell* Why II* Frdared Depities to Fire m Deltncelett Min irs. Wilkosbarre, Pa.. Sept. 10.—Sheriff Martin arrived home on the 7 o’clock train from Hazleton. He was cool and collected. He was met at the depot |,y his legal adviser. The two got into a carriage and drove to the court house where they were closeted together for some time. At first the sheriff refused to say anything, hut finally consented The sheriff was at first reluctant to say ivhi ther he h id given the com mand to fire, but afterwards admitted that he had. The sheriff's detailed statement is as follows: "I heard, early this morning, that the strikers were going to march to the breaker at Latimer anil compel the men there to ouit work. I resolved to intercept th-in and if possible prevent them from reaching the breaker. One of my deputies told me that the strik ers would probably lie heavily armed, i got my deputies, 70 in number, to meet nt a rtain place. They were ail aimed. I told them to keep cool under all rin unsstariM s. Til. trouble le-gan at 3 o'clock. iru t tin- marching column. I halted iln in and read the proclamation. They fos-.l to pay any attention and start. .I to resume their march. Th“n f called to the leader to stop. He ig. nor ,l my order. I then attempted to arrest him. The strikers closed in on me. They acted very viciously; kick ing me, knocking me down and tramp ling upon me. 1 called upon my dep uties to aid me and they did so. but were unable to accomplish much. I realized that something had to be done at cnee, or I should be killed. I (ailed to the deputies to discharge their firearms into the air, hut it had no effect whatever on the infuriated foreigners, who used me more like wild beasts than human beings. The strik ers then made a still Iiolder move and endeavored to surround my entire force of deputies. I fully realized that the foreigners were a desperate lot and valued life at a very small figure. I then called upon the deputies to defend themselves and shoot if they must to protect their lives or to protect the property they had been sent to guard from being demolished. “Tile next second there were a few scattered shots fired into the infuriated foreigners and a moment later the en tire force of deputies discharged a solid volley into the crowd. I hated to give the command to shoot and was awfully sorry that I was compelled to do so and I was there to do my duty and 1 did it as best I knew how. The strikers were violating the laws of the commonwealth and tiatly refused to obey the proclamation that I read to them. The scene after the shooting was simply terrible and the entire crowd of foreigners ns soon as the volley had been tired by my deputies turned and started to retreat. They rushed off in all directions ns fast as they could, taking ns many of their dead and wounded with them as they were able to carry during their hurried retreat. The excitement at the time was simply terrible and I would not care to ever go through another ordeal of the same kind for a fortune.” m another interview. Sheriff Martin said he first met the marching miners at **st Hazleton. According to Martin s «tory. when the strikers reached the line of deputies he ordered them to halt and disperse. One of the Huns said in broken English: “Go to hell, you-Martin then attempted to arrest the man who made tlie remark, and. as he claims, was tu reely assaulted by the man's friends. I hen the tiring began. Mr. Martin was asked during the interview: hen you met the men were thev on company property or on the public road?" He replied: “No, they were on the pub lic road. Had they up tn that time committed any overt act or acted otherwise than peaceable?” "No.” “Why then did you order the deputies to fire?” I did not order the deputies to tire; some one else did that. I gave no order.” ere any of your men hurt?” One of my deputies was shot through the arm.” Sheriff Martin, when ho reached Wilke* barre. was badly scared. Though be claims to have been brutally assaulted, when seen lie did not have a mark on hi* person to show that he had !>een roughly handled. All classes of citizens in this city and county unite in condemning Sheriff Martin’s hasty action. THE MINERS STORY. Fired on by the Sheriffs Without Notice ltd Without Provocation.
