A Large Sugar Refinery Has Already Closed and Many.‘0ther Manufac- turing Establishments May Soon Follow Suit. Wheeling, July; 23.—The arrival of President Ratchford at Faimlont is the most important occurrence of today in West Virginia. It is not likely that Ratchford will be able to do anything which Debs could not do.. Debs, Ratch- ford and the other organizers held a conference today at Fairmont to devise plans for future work. They favor the commissioning of all the strikers as missionaries, to work from man to man among the miners in their homes. The great trouble has been to get them out to big meetings on account of the sur- veillance of the operators. All of the soft coal miners did not go out in Kanawha today as provided by the Montgomery meeting last night, but most of them did. They are asking for increased pay, rather than striking for Coal Source In Chicago. Chicago, July 23.—A shortage of coal has begun to make itself~felt in the Chicago market. The Chicago Sugar refinery, which uses 400 tons of bitumi- ous coal daily, has suspended opera- tions in view of the high prices obtain- ing for fuel. Local coal men believe that the sugar refinery suspension is a fOrerunner of a number of similar cases when large consumers attempt to re- plgpish their stock.- G’ovE-rno'r George W. Atkinson of West Virginia, who is here attending the Logan day ceremonies, believes that the miners will eventually win in the great coal strike. He says: “All the in- dications in West Virginia point to the success of the miners. I believe that the miners in West Virginia will leave their~work. They have nothing to com- plain of. but they are in sympathy with the suffering miners outside. So am I, and so is everybody else I know any- ‘bhingabout. There are 25,000 miners in the state, and of course it will take time to reach them all and perfect or- ganization, but there is no reason for the discouragement. of the strikers.” The Projected Descent on Canonsburg. IrFittsburg, July 23.——-The threatened descent of strikers upon the Boone and Allison mines at Canonsburg did not take place yesterday on account of a heavy rain which fell all the afternoon. The tw0 mines resumed work. Then the strikers gathered in large numbers at Bridgeville, and their leaders announc— ed that the march to Canonsburg would be made. There were said-to be 600 men in the army at Bridgeville, and it was ex- pected that re—enforcements from the Terms Run mines would double the number. The strikers’ talk has been peaceful, but it- is known that many of them have been buying cartridges for revolvers. The sheriff of Washington county had made extraor inary precautions to quell possible disorder. Three hundred deputies had been sworn in, and many of these were placed on guard at the threatened mines. The strikers' demonstration is aimed at the Enterprise mine as well, where the men went out on Monday and have since been.talking of return- ing to work. ' The strikers carry rations for several days, and if they stay about the mines trouble is almost sure to break out be- tween them and the deputies. President W. P. De Armitt last night became apprehensive that an attack would be made on his mines today and appealed to Sheriff: Richards of this county for protection. The sheriff im- mediately swore in 50 deputies, and they spent the night in two cars lying in the passenger yards of the Pennsyl- vania railroad. They will be held there to await orders from the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal company. What gave rise to Mr. De Armitt’s apprehensions ofe' trouble was a big mass meeting of strikers at Bower Hill, in the Panhandle district, 12 miles from his mines. The Mitchell Coal and Coke company at Gallitzin, in Cambria county, secured from the courts of that county an in- junction restraining the striking min- ers from acts of violence. The com— pany also demanded compensation in money. for the outlay made to defend its property and employees. Easier Feeling In Cleveland. Cleveland, July 23.—The failure of the miners to make any headway in West Virginia has had the effect of causing a much easier feeling in the local mar- ket. Local operators today regard the strike as more complicated than ever and a long way from a settlement. Lady Brassey Hurt In a Runaway. Melbourne, July 23.—Lady Thomas Brassey, wifeiof the governor of Vic- toria, today met with a serious acci- dent. While cut driving herhorses took fright and ran away, and she was thrown out and two of her ribs were broken. In February last Baron Bras- sey was th3wn from his horse and badly hurt. — To Sing Before the Czar. London, July 23.——Discussing his plans for the coming year, Jean de lieszke said today that he had been as ed to take the parts of Tristan and Parsifal in a special performanee of Wagner’s operas which it .is proposed to hold at Baireuth next year. Jean de Reszke will sing before the czar in Warsaw 0n . Decline In Sugar Stock. New York, July 23.—American Sugar Refining company certificates sold to- day on the Stock Exchange at the low- est price since'the recent big advance. IThey opened at 142%, against 143%, yes- terday’s close, and then quickly de- clined under active trading to 140. A rally and partial recovery followed to' 142778. .. Death of a War Veteran.

It is said in Pittsburg that Henry W. Oliver was paid a “fee” of $2,000,000 for arranging a combination which gives the control of the Mes-aha iron range and the practical control of the ore market to an organization of man- ufacturers with the Carnegie Iron Company at its head. If this is to be considered as a fee, it is undoubtedly the largest ever paid. All the fees ever paid to Patrick Hen- ry, Henry-Clay, Daniel Webster, Abra- ham Lincoln and any dozen of the greatest oratcrs in the best ten years of their lives never amounted to half so much. It is reported that Lawyer Hart, of San Francisco, who bore the brunt of the legal fight for the recovery to Flor- ence Blythe of the Blythe millions, will receive a. fee of $2,750,000. The estate in litigation aggregated $4,000,- 000. Hart carried on the fight for years, paying the expenses out of his own pocket, so-that his great fee is not all profit. It is said that the largest fee ever be- fore paid was $260,000 to William Nel- son Cromwell for acting as assignee- in the case of Locker, Howell & 00., New York, bankers and brokers. In the pro- tests which such payments naturally ‘call out it was asserted that this was at the rate of over $43,000 a week for the time he was employed. The fee paid by the Sugar Trust to John E. Parsons is stated at $250,000, and that paid to Henry L. Clinton in the Van- derbilt will case at from $100,000 to $150,000. Joseph Ghoate’s fee from the elevated roads was given at $75,000, and that of Robert Sewell from the el- evated roads at $125,000.—New York World. BICYCLE GIRL’S PERILOUS RIDE. Rode the Tin-less “'heel Over a High Bridge on the Outside of the Rail. Ever since Joe Henley made his per- ilous sprint across the ties of the Mil- waukee bridge on the bare rims of his bicycle a number of ambitious cyclists have professed a willingness to equal the performance. The other day a woman, Dora De- witt, of Kansas 'City, equalled Hen- leyfs feat and went him one better, for she rode along on the outside of tile- rail in a space only eighteen inches wide. It was a hair-raising perform- ance, and one'thzlt is not likely to be equalled soon. Miss Dewitt rode a light racer. The tires had been re- moved, leaving only the bare rims to ride on. She started at a fast clip, knowing that in no other way could she get across. A single mishap would have hurled her into the Missouri river, ninety feet below. Once, near the center of the bridge, she swerved slightly, and for a few feet the wheel rushed along within an inch of the edge of the ties, but the girl was cool, and in a moment she was in control of her wheel, and finished the trip with- out t‘urtller danger. The greatest peril was in the depressions two feet wide which exist at regular intervals from one end of the bridge to the other. But she crossed all of these firmly, though the shock each time seemed as if it would throw her from the wheel. At the close " Miss Dewitt’s arms were so numb that she could not lift them. Several well-known wheelmen witnessed the feat—St. Louis Globe- Democrat. 7 - fl Got The‘re. First Drummer—A few days ago a cellision.
