l PEACEFUL INVASION.

The Striking Miners From Ohio March
Into West Virginia.

 

NO DISTURBANGE REPORTED.

Attempt to Close the Boggs Run Mine.
Operators Seem to Be Waiting—La-
bor Leaders Considering the
Matter of Testing Iru unctipns.

Wheeling, Aug. 11.-—West Virginia
was peacefully invaded by striking
miners from Ohio at an early hour to-
day. One hundred and twenty-geven
miners from the Wheeling Creek region
across the river marched through the
city to the Boggs Run mines, just be-
low Wheeling. The Ohio men came for
the purpose of closing down the Boggs
Run mine, the only railroad mine in the
Wheeling district' now operated. They
announced that they would stay until
Boggs Run joins the strike, and later
today 200 more men from Barton, May-
nard and Pascoe, other mining commu-
nities in eastern Ohio, joined the Wheel-
ing Creek men at Boggs Run. The men
from the mining towns along theWheel-
ing and Lake Erie have also announced
their willingness to participate in this
demonstration. which may last several
days. With the West Virginia strikers
gathering at Boggs Run, there are now
about 400 men there. In the face of this
showing of force the 100 Boggs Run
miners did not sho’iv themselves. Eight
or ten men came to work, but nobody
had the courage to enter the mine. A
meeting will probably be held, but it
Will be difficult to get the men at this
plant out. The campers are provisioned
from the Wheeling Miners’ Aid store
and are prepared to make a long stay.

At a meeting of the Peddling banks
miners of Bellaire a motion to shut
down was passed with some opposition.
[f the Peddling banks are shut down, it
will throw 2,000 men out of employment
at and near Bellaire, for some of these
banks supply fuel to the manufactories
of that place. ‘

Railroad Men Condemned.

Huntington, W. Va., Aug. 11.—Strik-
ing miners from Ohio and West Virgin-
ia have passed resolutions condemning
the Norfolk and Western railroad offic-
ials for hauling coal from West Vir—
ginia fields. The railway has had an
extra force of watchmen placed at
every bridge and trestle on the line.

To Test Injunctions.

Columbus, 0., Aug. 11.—President
Gompers of the American Federation
of Labor and several other prominent
labor leaders are expected here to con-
fer With President Ratchford of the
United Mine V’Vorkers with regard to
testing the injunctions issued against
the labor leaders in West Virginia.
President Ratchford has received ad-
vices of an encouraging nature from
West Virginia and Kansas. Two more
organizers are to be sent to West Vir-
ginia at once.

In the Pittsburg District.

Pittsburg, Aug. 11.—There is a grow-
ing feeling of apprehension among coal
operators that the prolonging of the
strike for a few more weeks will prove
bad for the lake shippers. It is cited
that when the miners shall have re—
turned to work there will be such a de—
mand for coal for lake shipments that
cars will not be obtainable to rush it
through for shipment before lake insur-
ance rates advance, which occurs near
the time for rough weather on the lakes
and greater risks of cargoes. At pres-
ent lake freight rates are low, and ves-
sels are moored at all the shipping
points‘ waiting for cargoes up. When
coal again goes forward to the docks,
it is feared that the demand for vessels
will be so great that time will be lost
in taking on cargo because of the lim-
itations at the docks to moor vessels
while loading and at the upper ports
while unloading.

Nothing has been done by the local
operators looking to a settlement of the
strike. They explain this by saying the
miners’ demands are impossible to com—
ply with, and until they are modified
there is no use of talking about a set-
tlement. Contracts are said to have
been taken for all of this year at a low
specific price, waiving the customary
clauses which make the price so much
above the mining rate. Most of the
lake coal contracts are said to have
been made without this clause this
year, and operators say that to jump
the cost of mining to the point demand-
ed by the miners, or any near approach
to it, would mean that the sheriff
would become an important person in
their business.

They say they are doing nothing re-
garding the settlement of the strike,
but trying to get the uniformity agree-
ment into operation. They maintain
that the adoption of this agreement of-
fers the only hope of improvement in
the condition of the miners or an en-
largement of their earnings next year

' and following years, and any rate above
60 cents for the remainder of this year
is impossible.

No New Developments.

. There are no new developments in the
coal operators’ arbitration movement.
A muting of the committee was to
have been held, but so many of the
members are out of town that it had to
be ostponed. General John Little says
he pes to get the committee together
as soon as possible, but he is not cer-
tain when all its members will be in
town. The object in holding the meet-
ing is to discuss plans for further steps
in promotion of the cause. The com-
mittee will organize and arrange to
make a personal canvass among the op-
erators who have signified their unwill-
ingness to sign the uniformity agree—
ment. They think that most of the op-
poSition to the “uniformity” plan re-
sults from a misunderstanding of the,
provisions contained in the contract, or
on insufficient knowledge of its import.
By many operators, especially the river
coal men, the scheme is not considered
feasible, and they hesitate to join the
movement for that reason.

No signed contracts have yet been re-
ceived by the committee, but it is
learned that two or three have put
their names to, the paper. D. B. Black-
burn signed on Saturday night, but
still holds the contract'in his possession.
The intention of the committee is to
secure the signatures of the larger
firms first, and after that, it is thought,
the smaller operators will fall into line.
The committee has several months to
werk up the matter, and bvaan. 1 they

 

expect to have the required majority
of all the operators in the district.

The strikers at Turtle Creek have di-
vided into three divisions and will march
on the several mines now in Opera-
tion. One party will go to Spring Hill
mine, operated by Alexander Dempster,
located near VVilmcrding. This mine
has been supplying the De Armitt com-
pany with coal. Another party will
march to Oak Hill, as usual, and the
third company will go to Sandy Creek.

The Boone mine at Canonsburg start-
ed unexpectedly with 35 men, and a

force of about 800 men will march and

encamp about this mine until it is shut
down.

In Illinois and Indiana.

Coffeen, Ills., Aug. 11.—This town is
practically under martial law. A force
of 235 armed deputy sheriffs is guarding
the town and particularly the property
of the Coffeen Coal and Copper com—
pany. One hundred and twenty-five
men are at work in the shaft under pro-
tection. Three hundred miners are en-
camped in the woods just west of the
town limits.

Evansville, Ind., Aug. 11.—-At a mass
meeting in the West End park every
miner in this locality expressed sym-
pathy for the movement, and the ma-
jority of them signified their intention
of joining the strike. The John Ingle
company got out an injunction against
the strikers, and Judge Mattison set
Sept. 2 as the date to hear the case. The
outlook here is more hopeful for the
striking miners than it has been. An-
other mass meeting will be held.

A dispatch from Sullivan, Ind., says
that the striking miners throughout the
field were supplied with food, more
than 5,000 being fed at Brazil. Strikers
are again on the march from Sullivan
to Evansville, from which point they
intend to cross into Kentucky and en-
deavor to close the St. Bernard mines.

TRAIN WREGKBRS AT WORK.

Ties Filed on the Tracks Near “'hite
House, N. J., Cause Loss of 850,000.
Phillipsburg, N. J., Aug. 11.——-Train

wreckers have been at work again on
the Central Railroad of New Jersey,
and last night, for the fourth time in as
many months, they accomplished the
wreck of two fast freight trains, the
blocking of the tracks and the loss of at
least $50,000.

About 9:30 o’clock, as train No. 418
was thundering along at 50 miles an
hour on its way to New York with
many cars of valuable merchandise, the
engine struck a pile of ties just west of
White House. The obstruction was loos-
ened by the crash and pushed along to
a switch, where the ties caught. The
engine left the track and landed down
an embankment a complete wreck.
Fourteen cars were also derailed, piled
up in confusion and their contents scat-
tered along the track.

Engineer Shupp of Mauch Chunk re-
mained at his post and miraculously
escaped with his life. Conductor Mat-
trass, also of Mauch Chunk, was riding
on the tank of the engine and was seri-
ously hurt. The fireman jumped.

Before a fiagman could be sent out to
signal approaching trains another fast
freight, west bound, with fish and
peaches for the Lehigh valley, came up
and ran into the debris. The engine
and two cars of fish were demolished.
Engineer Strubble of Bayonne City
and Conductor Moynahan of Junction
were badly injured.

A watchman had been employed at
White House to guard against the train
wreckcrs’ attempts, 'but last Saturday
he was suspended, the railroad officials
evidently thinking the gang had left
the district.

GULDENSWMUDDLE.

A Statement That the Dead Man May
Not Be Dead After All.

THE INQUEST POSTPONED.

Mr. Ring of Norfolk, Va., Declares That
the Dismem‘bered Body Is That of

William Edwards,

pher—He Has Many Witnesses.

a Photogra-

New York, Aug. 11.—Startling devel-
opments have caused Coroner Tuthiil to
indefinitely postpone the inquest over
the body of William Guldensuppe,
scheduled for today. '

It is now claimed that the body is not
that of William Guldensuppe, but of
William S. Edwards, a photographer,
formerly of Norfolk and Emporia, Va.,
who disappeared from the latter place
on June '10 and was last seen on June 25
in New York.

This is the day the body now in the
morgue was supposed to have been
murdered.

Edward S. Ring, a publisher of Nor-
folk, claims that he can establish a
complete identification.

He so wrote Howe & Hummel,
Thorn’s attorneys, and Ring is hourly
expected in New York, together with
five Norfolk witnesses. He claims to
have photographs of Edwards taken in
the suit which was found in the Har-
lem woods near where the body was
found.

Howe & Hummel received this letter
from Mr. Iling today:

Norfolk, Aug. 8.
William T. Howe, Esq:

Your kind favor of the 4th received and
noted. In reply I beg to state that I
fully and feelingly appreciate your ex-
planation and will act accordingly. In-
closed- please find additional and more
complete particulars relating to my evi-
dence and claims to the body as being
that of Edwards and not Guldensuppe. as
given in my interview to the Norfolk
(Va.) Pilot last night and pu‘s‘ished by
them this morning. I will co Lolete my
arrangements to comply with your wishes
and'w1re you, as requested. in advance.
Very truly yours, EDIVARD S. KING.

P. S.-—I inclose photograph of Edwards.
and have several others, including some
taken in suit now in valise at police head-
quarters in New York. E. R.

Edwards’ last position was as photog-
rapher in the employ of the Murray
Photographing company of Palesburg,
Va.

Then he was seen in Emporia, Va.,
and finally in New York on June 25.
Since then he has not been heard of.

A significant fact in connection with
the new identification is that in the va—
lise found in the woods was a piece of
paper wrapped around a pair of shoes
and upon which had been scribbled the
word “Emporia.”

Howe & Hummel say that Ring is
bearing all the expenses of himself and
the four witnesses to New York.

Edwards' Movements Traced.

Mr. Ring has worked industriously
for several weeks in an effort to make
perfect the identification. He has traced
Edwards’ movements to June 25, the
day preceding the finding of the first
)ortion of the dismembered corpse, when
he says the misSing man went to a Her-
ald square photographer in an effort to
get employment. Edwards at that time
had a valise, which was subsequently
found in the woods near where a por-
tion of the body was found.

The valise contained various articles
of clothing, which Mr. Rich says he will
be able to prove belonged to Edwards.
He also says that marks found on por—
tions of the body were made for the
purpose of obliterating tattoo marks,
which had been exhibited by Edwards
to many of his friends.

Mr. Rich hopes to prove by his wit-
nesses that Edwards had had a felon
on the forefinger of the left hand, which
caused a peculiar growth of the finger
nail, which, he alleges, follows closely
the description of the body found. He
also calls attention to a long finger nail
which was used by Edwards in lifting
photographic. negatives and states that
the same peculiarity was noticed on the
hand of the body of Guldensuppe.

He explains the presence of cuts and
scratches on the fingers as coming from
the frequent handling of glass by Ed-
wards in connection with his trade and
lays particular stress upon the fact
that Deputy Coroner O'Hanlon, after
performing the autopsy, declared that
the dead man had not been a drinker.
Mr. Ring says that Guldensuppe did
drink, while Edwards, as was known to
all his friend's, never touched liquor in
any form.

At the Tombs today Mrs. Nack was
in excellent mood and appeared to be
less gloomy than formerly.

Several women applied to Matron
Smith for permission to send Mrs. Nack
some flowers, but this was forbidden.

Martin Thorn is gradually losing his
peculiar taciturnity and is getting more
cheerful and communicative. He had a
caller in Al Angler of 66 New Utrecht
street, Brooklyn.

 

Stepped OR Too Soon.
Orange, N. J ., Aug. 11.—Mary McDon-
ough, 25, fell from a suburban trolley

‘car, sustaining a fracture of the skull,

from which she died today. She had
motioned to the conductor to stop and
then stepped off while the car was run-
ning at a high rate of speed. Her head
struck‘on the stone crosswalk.

 

Fisheries at Newfoundland.

St. John’s, N. F., Aug. 11.—The Brit-

EX-KIXG MILAN IS ILL.

His Inglorious Record as Ruler of Serving
Compelled to Abdicate.

Vienna, Aug. 11.—Ex-King Milan of
Servia is so seriously ill that some anxi-
ety is experienced by his friends as to
his eventual recovery.

Milan 1, ex—king of Servia, was born
Aug. 10, 1854, at Jassy, of a Moldavian
mother, who had married the only son
of Prince Ephraim._ He was adopted
by Prince Michael, who had no children,
and was sent by him, in 1864, to Paris,
where he was educated at the military
academy of Louis Le Grand. After the

EX-KING MILAN OF SERVIA.

assassination of Michael Obrenovitch
in 1868 he hastened to Servia and was
proclaimed prince in July of that year.
He was crowned prince of Servia at
Belgrade in 1872, and was compelled to
abdicate in favor of his son, Prince
Alexander, in 1889, in consequence of
the troubles arising out of the king’s
quarrel with his wife, Queen Natalie.

Servia was proclaimed a kingdom
under King Milan in 1882. Previous to
this he had fought a war with Turkey
and was ignominiously beaten, and
later, in 1885, King Milan declared war
upon Prince Alexander of Bulgaria and
was completely defeated within his own
frontiers inside oftwo weeks.

On Oct. 23, 182, Mme. Markovitch,
the widow of a lieutenant colonel who
had been shot for a dynastic conspiracy
five years previously, made an attempt
to kill Kiner Milan by shooting at the
latter. and wounded a woman who was
looking on as the king and queen were
entering the cathedral of Belgrade.

Germany and Our Sugar Tarifi‘.

London, Aug. 10.-The Berlin corre-
spondent of The Times says:
fresh German protest to the United

MELTBD A HUMAN BODY.

A Ghostly Experiment For the Luetgert
Murder Trial In Chicago. _

Chicago, Aug. 9.—-—The experiment of
destroying a human body by the use
of crude potash has been successfully
carried out. The body was destroyed‘
in two hours with the exception of a
few small splinters of bone. Of the
fleshy substance only a small quantity
of fluid about the consistency of mo-
lasses remained. The experiment was
made under the orders of the prosecu-
tion in the case of Adolph Luetgert, the
rich sausage manufacturer, who is
charged with murdering his wife and
disposing of her body in the vats at his
factory.

The theory of the prosecution was
that Luetge'rt placed the body of his
wife in a solution of crude potash and
cold waterpraised the solution to boil-
ing point, and destroyed all traces of
his alleged crime. A few small bones
were said to have been found in a vat
in the factory.

The state has wound a complete web
of circumstantial evidence about the
sausage maker, but the fact that a body
could be thus destroyed has been dis-
puted. The test settles that point be-
yond a doubt. The cadaver was cut
up, placed in the solution, the fire
started, and in a short time the flesh
had completely dissolved. The frame
did not melt so quickly, but at the end
of two hours nothing remained except
a few splinters and a small amount .of
fluid.

The attorneys for the state were en-
tirely satisfied with the test and be-
lieve the last link in the chain of cir-
cumstances has been found to convict
Luetgert of his alleged crime.

 

ANOTHER AFGHAN OUTBRBAI.

Under the Leadership of the Mullahm
Shhbkadr ls Attacked.

London. Aug. 10.——A dispatch to The
Times from Simla says another out-
break is ofllcially reported on the Af-
ghan frontier. The mullah, Who
preached against England during the
Chitral campaign, has again stirred up
strife in the Mohmand country by rep-
resenting that the success of the Turks
in Europe provides a favorable oppor-
tunity for defying English rule. He has
gathered some thousands of followers.
As it was too late for him to assist in
the attack on Camp Malakand, he at-
tacked Fort Shabkadr, 18 miles from
Peshawur, last Saturday.

The police and garrison beat off the
natives, who then burned a Hindoo vil-
lage and killed some of the inhabitants.

A strong force of cavalry, infantry
and artillery has been sent from Pesha-
wur to punish rebels, and it is re-
ported that they have fled and re-
crcssed the frontier.

BIG CUSTOMS SWINDLE.

Supposed Discovery of a Successful Scheme
in British Columbia.

Rossland. B. G. Aug. 10,—The cus-
toms officials have discovered a smug-
gling scheme on a large scale. The trail
up from the Omanangan country passes
into Canada at Kruger’s, on Ozoyoor
lake, where the custon house is located,
and then makes a turn into the United
States and re-enters the Dominion at a
point several miles east of the custom
house. The town of Oroo is the head-
quarters of the smugglers. Freighters
from the States bringing produce come
up the trail to Kruger’s, pay duty on
the stuff they have in their wagons and
then follow the road across the line to
Oroo. Here they pick up quantities of
groceries, principally tobacco and can-
ned goods, and follow the road into Can-
ada again. to which they gain access
without difficulty, as all the goods have
presumably paid duty at Kruger’s, far-
ther back on the line.
