Battery ‘B. Illinois Artillery Is
Encamped at Virden.

MANAGER LUKENS TALKS

Intense Exciteuient Prevails in. the Town
in Spite of the Presence of the Militia.
' fien. Reece Will Preserve Order. Thir-
teen Killed and Thirtyfive Wounded.

Virden, 111., Oct. 14.—The intense ex-
citement occasioned by the battle of
W'ednesday afternoon between striking
miners on the on side and detectives
and guards employed by the Chicago-
Virden Coal Company on the other, is
still at fever heat and the presence of
the state militia does not cool it in the
least.

Adjutant General Reece, who is in‘

command of the soldiers, says he is
there under unmistakable orders from
Governor Tanner to prevent further
trouble, to protect lives and property
and to prevent operators from bringing
imported labor into the town.

The arrival of Battery B from Pana

_ at midnight was the signal for a truce.

The tumult in the streetshad not sub-
sided before that time, and threats of
blowing up the stockade with dynamite
Were freely made by the more hot head-
cd of the miners.

A movement is on foot among the
leaders of the strikers to have the
guards of the Chicago-Virden Company
arrested for murder. It is a fact that
many were not sworn in either as dep-
uty sheriffs or special policemen. The
guards acknowledged that Wednesday
evening before the significance of the
confession was known to them.

Eyster, the manager of the coal com—
pany's Climax store, who was shot in
the stomach and afterwards assaulted
by the strikers, has been taken to a
hiding place for treatment and still
lingers with a fighting chance for his
life.

Battery B has pitched camp in the
Park in the center of the town, and
has sent a detachment of men to dis-
arm the guards at the stockade.

The list of the killed and wounded in
the battle with the strikers, according
to the latest information, is as fol-
lows:

The Dead.

Thomas Prescott. former lieutenant
of police, Chicago; shot by detail of mi-
litia shortly before midnight.

Ellis Smith, Mount Olive.

W. W. Carroll, a guard, Chicago.

Frank Billyeu, Springfield.

Joseph Kitterly, Mount Olive.

Edward Welch, Springfield.

A. H. Breneman, Girard.

D. H. Kiley, a railroad detective, Chi-
cago.

A1 Morgan, Chicago.

Edward Green, Mount Olive.

Ernest Lang, miner, Mount Olive.

ive.

Wounded Probably Fatally.

J. Franklin Eyster, manager Chica-
go Virden Coal Company’s store.

Joe Rouk, miner, Girard.

0. J. Snyder, guard, Kansas City,
shot in breast.

In addition to theme there are about
forty who have sustained wounds less
serious. .

 

Chicago, Oct. 14.--In response to a
telegraphic order from Governor Tan-
ner, Colonel Young of the First cavalry
hastily gathered together all the mem-
bers of the First cavalry that could
be found and started for Virden at 11
o’clock yesterday morning ,over the
Chicago & Alton road. prepared for riot
duty. . p _

Troop B is in Bloomington and Troop
D is in Springfield. Both have been no-
tified to be on hand at Virden.

The First cavalry having been mus-
tered out of the government service,
there were not over forty or fifty men
to the troop. Colonel Young enlisted
the troops yesterday morning up to
the war footing of one hundred and
six men each. To do this he asked
those who formerly belonged to the
four troops or any other troops of the
First cavalry who wanted to enlist to
call at the First regiment armory at
eight o’clock in the morning, with’ blan-
kets and uniforms, prepared to leave at
11 o’clock. The requisite number of.
men were obtained without difficulty.

 

‘ Washington, Oct. 14.—Adjutant Gen-
eral Corbin has sent the following tele-
gram to Governor Tanner in reply to
his request for authority to use the
Fifth Illinois volunteers in quelling the
disturbance at Virden:

“The secretary authorizes the use of
the regiment as set forth in your tele-
gram.”

 

Manager Lukens Talks
St. Louis, Oct. 14,—A special to the
Post-Dispatch from Virden, 111., says:
Captain Charles A. Fervier, com-

'manding Company B, Sons of Veterans,

of Elgin, 111., is in charge of the stock-
ade built by the Chicago—Virden Coal
Company.

With part of his men he entered the
stockade yesterday and disarmed the
Thiel detectives from St. Louis and the
local deputies employed by the opera-
tors. The men within the Stockade of.
fered no objection:

Mr. Lukens said in an interview: _

“Thetrouble was not of our making.
The strikers simply surrounded the
stockade. On the cast and south sides
there must have been at least one thou-
sand miners. They were in an orchard
sand miners. They were in an orchard
fire. Considering the fact that we. had
only one man killed and Six slightly
wounded, I regard it a miracle. There
were thousands upon thousands of
shots fired. The strikers began the fir-
ing 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
and we returned the shots. I deplore

 

 

the matter as much as anyone. I never .

supposed such a thing would result
when we brought the negroes’ to this
place.”

he was asked, "do you expect to im-

 

PLAT T’S BANK ROBBED

 

Trusted Employo Haxl Been. Stealing for
Twenty Years.

0 wego, N. Y., 0c. 14.-A11 Tioga
couny is shocked and amazed at the
death bed confession of Eli W. Stone,
assistant cashier of the Tioga National
Bank, which was closed yesterday af-
ternoon by order of the controller of
the currency.

Just before his death, which was un-
questionably hastened by the disgrace
which had overtaken him, Stone con~
fessed that he had misappropriated the
Swank funds to the extent of over $42,-
0 .

There was a rumor about, and it still
finds some believers, that the aged and
trusted official had ended his own life,
but this could not be verified last eve-
nmg.

Senator Platt, who is president of the
bank, arrived in Orwego at 4 o’clock
yesterday afternoon in response to an
urgent dispatch. That he deemed his
presence of vital importance was shown
by the haste with which he came.
dropping all political engagements and.
flying to Oswego as fast as steam could
carry him. Just how much Sena‘ror
Platt has locked up in the embarrassed
bank and how much he is likely to lose
are matters of conjecture.

Eli Stone’s confession was such a
blow to the people of Tioga that it al~

most}: eclipsed the importance of the
suspension that followed. The people
can scarcely realize that honest old

Eli Stone, the church pillar, the steady
going conservative citizen, the model
held up for young men to follow, could
be guilty of dishonesty. He was from
one of Oswego’s oldest and most re-
spected families and was a graduate of
Madison, now oClgate College.

For several years he was professor
of rhetoric and literature in that insti-
tution. It was because of sterling hon-
esty and rigid principles that he was
made county treasurer. He was active
in Republican politics in Tioga county
and had served for years on the county
committee.

For twenty years Eli Stone was a
thief. For what purpose he took that
which did not belong to him no one
knows.

MARCHAND MAY WITHDRAW,

 

French Troops to Leave 'f'aslmdulfmzdi- g
Settlelnent.

London, Oct. 14.—-A dispatch from
Paris to the Exchange Telegraph Com-
pany says that little credence is given
in official circles to the report that M.
Delcasse, minister of foreign affairs, is
about to resign. _

The dispatch also says it is consid—
ered that the English government has
tacitly consented to suspend negotia-
tions in regard to Fashoda until Ma~
jor Marchand’s report arrives.

It is, however, recognized at the Quai
d’Orsay that ,apart from the question
of principle, Major Marchand’s /peril—
ous position will not permit any pro-
tracted negotiations. Consequently, in
all probability, upon the receipt of
Marchand’s report the government will
consent to his withdrawal from Fasho-
da, with the understanding, however,
that France does not renounce her
claims in the Nile valley, and diplo-
matic correspondenCe will imifidiately
follow.

 

Paris, Oct. 14.-—Yesterday's cabinet
council was occupied with general bus-
iness. M. Delcasse spoke of the grav-
ity of the situation at Fashoda, and M.
Trouillot, minister of the colonies, con-
firmed the report of the capture of
Chief Samory and the armed chiefs of
the Sofa band.

The government will recompense the
officers of the force engaged in their
capture. ’

The reports of Lord Rosebery’s
speech, published in yesterday morn—
ing’s papers, attracted universal atten-
tion and caused a considerable sensa-
tion in political circles, as it is regard.
ed as confirmatory of Lord Salisbury’t
determination to uphold the rights 01
England as presented in the Official
correspondence published on October
10th.

The general opinion of Frenchmen is
that the speech does not improve the
situation from their point of View.

 

Rome. Oct. y14.—L’Italie says the be-
lief is general in government circles
that France and England will reach
an agareement in regard to Fashoda.
The paper points out that there is no
need of precipitate action inthe mat--
ter. ‘

 

A Noted Hostelry Closed. ,

New York, Oct. 14.—The once famous
Clarendon hotel, at the southeast cor-
ner of Eighteenth street and Fourth
avenue closed its doors to the public
yesterday and is now on the market.

It was at the Clarendon hotel that
the Prince of Wales went when he
came here on a. visit in 1860. The
Grand Duke Alexis of Russia stopped
there when he came to New York, and
from that day the house was for years
the headquarters of Russian diplomats
in this country and of wealthy Rus-
sians who came here.

That seven ministers of foreign gov—
ernments slept one night in the hotel
was one old boast of its manager.

Adelaide Ristori stopped there on her
visit to this country, and so did Brig-
noli, Carlotta, Patti and Etelka Gers—
ter. Adelaide Nilson, the actress, and
Christine Nilsson, the singer, were
regular guests of the hotel, and when
Helen Modjeska first came from San
Francisco to try her fortunes here_ it
was at the Clarendon that she lived‘.

 

Stolen Gold Ore Found
Leadville, 001., Oct. 14.——-While kick—

> ing about some dirt at the city dump,

Frank Burkhart unearthed a cave in
which he found'some very rich ore ex-
posed.

Officers were notified and found‘ a
cache from which they extracted fifty
sacks of gold and silver ore, evidently
stolen from different mines. From
samples assayed the ore will probably
prove to be worth $110,000.

WHO WAS RESPbNSIBLB?

 

 

clack oi Sufficient l‘antage and Medical
Supplies. The Flies and. the Absence

ofNurses. Charges Concerning the

'l’el'catment of Arkansas Troops

Washington, Oct. 14.—Dr. Hoff, who
had charge of one of the division hos-
pitals at Chickamauga, was the only
witness before the war inquiry commis-
sion yesterday. .

He took, in general, a middle view
of conditions there, about as far re-
moved from the testimony of some. of
the earlier witnesses, on the one hand,
as from the most sensational charges
on the other.

The commission had been told that
the water from Chickamauga creek
was absolutely good, but the witness
said that, although analysis made early
in the encampment showed it to be
pure, the only safe view to take, con-
sidering all the circumstances, was
that this water supply was infections.

The intake was about forty fee_t
above-the mouth of the cave-spring
branch, which received a good deal of
the wash of Camp Thomas. Whether
any of the infection would work back
that distance by means of side eddies,
the witness said, had been a. much-dis-
puted point among critics, and it was
safest to use some other water for
drinking purposes. For that reason
he had spring water hauled several
miles for his hospital.

Witness declared that there was a
shortage of tentage for some time af-
ter the establishment of the hospital,
a delay of several weeks in getting.the
necessary lumber, some delay in medi-
cal supplies and not enough bed linen
at the time the hospitals were most
heavily crowded. It had notbeen an-
ticipated that there would be so much
occasion for the use of these things.

Witness had heard of the case of a
typhoid patient so ill, and without nec-
essary attention, that his mouth was
wide open and filled with flies. He
did not see this case, but it was re-
ported to have occurred, and he be—
lieved that such a thing was possi-
ble.

The attention of the attending sur-
geon was called to it and orders issued
to prevent a recurrence.

The supply of nurses and attendants
for the sick was for a long time inade-
quate, but they all did the best they
could in most trying circumstances.
Dr. Samuel P. Hubbard, surgeon of the
Ninth New York, on duty at the Second
division hospital, had made some criti-
cisms which were alluded to by Dr.
Connor, who first asked if Dr. Hubbard
was a. reliable man.

The witness said he always so re-
garded him, and Hubbard’s criticisms
Were thus sustained, and ‘on a detailed
Examination of them, witness did not
materially dissent from what Hubbard
had written.

 

England’s Preparations,

Halifax, Oct. 14.——Very unusual ef-
forts are being made here to recruit in
a limited time the First Battalion,
Leinster regiment, Royal Canadians.

A military man yesterday said the
regiment had orders to hold itself in
readiness to .go abroad within four
weeks. Over two hundred men have
already been secured.

It was learned that the enlistment
was being carried on here by direct or—
ders from 'the war department.

The fact that twenty pounds is of-
fered as a bonus for good reserve men

_willing to don again the queen’s uni-

form is an indication that there is
something important in view.

“The inducements offered were ex—
traordinary,” said the army officer re-
ferred to, “and those who enlist have
the privilege of resuming their reserve
pay at the end of two years.”

The officer said there was a feeling
among the men that the present trou—
bles in Egypt, Crete and China have
much to do with the desire to have the
battalion strengthened before sending
it away. It is expected that four hun-
dred menat least will be secured in

this province.

queathed to the children of Mrs. Bar-
