l
Columbus, 0., Aug. 21.———The officials
of the United Mine Workers have
awakened to a full realization of the
fact that a crisis is at hand in the coal
miners’ strike and are preparing for a
final effort. The proceedings of the
meeting of the national executive board
have been guarded with great secrecy,
but it has been-learned from an ofl‘icial
source that a resolution was adopted
by the national board providing for the
calling of a conference of all federated
unions at St. Louis on Aug. 30. The pur-
pose is to secure the co—operation of all
these organizations. They will be asked
not merely for sympathy, but to join
in a great strike. The plan is to tie up
traffic on. the railroads and in other
channels of business, so that the supply
of coal may be effectually cut off, and
thus force the operators to negotiate
for a general Settlement of the wage
question. Failing in this, the mining
officials do not intimate what course
will be taken.
Loftus Cuddy’s Denial.
Cleveland, Aug. 21.—Loftus Cuddy of
the Cuddy-Mullen Coal company, who
was quoted as saying that gatling guns
would be used to subdue the striking
miners in the Pittsburg district. says
today that he never made any such
statement. He said that the operators
were determined to reopen the mines,
but they expected to use peaceable
means to accomplish their purpose.
Serious Situation Near Wheeling.
Wheeling, Aug. 21.—Feeling runs high
across the river in the coal mining
communities, aggravated by the large.
quantities of coal now passing to the
lakes from Fairmont, and the strikers’
leaders are having all they can do to
keep some of» the hotheads within
bounds. The miners deny complicity
in the two recent attacks on the coal
trains, and decline to be responsible for
the actions of rash sympathizers, who
have not learned the lesson of the strike
of 1894. . ,
The large steel'manufacturing plant
of the Riverside works, in the lower
part of the city, was shut down last
night on account of inability to secure
coal. Notices were posted that the men
would be informed tomorrow whether
coal can be had from West Virginia.
Other manufacturing establishments are
in straits for coal, and unless_,there,is a
change in the situation it is likely that
several thousand men in the Wheeling
mill district will be thrown out of em—_
ployment within a few days.
Stopping of Marching Near Pittsburg.
Pittsburg, Aug. 21.—It was reported
among the strikers today that suit was
to be entered’ against Sheriff Lowry for
obstructing the roads in Plum and Pat-
ton townships. The strikers contend
that he exceeded his authority in clos-
ing the roads to them and that the
matter will be tested in the courts.
When told of the reports of his impend-
ing prosecution the sheriff said no
change would be made in his methods
for a few days. The camps of the strik-
ers were slowly disintegrating, he said,
and he thought in a day or two all the
strikers would have gone to their homes.
At present he has 90 deputies on duty
at the three mines. These-will be kept
there until he is notified that they are
no longer necessary.
The cost of maintaining the deputies
up to this time amounts to something
like $10,000. Attorney Kaufman, repre-
senting the New York and Cleveland
Gas Coal company, says the expense of
employing the deputies is great, and
that the order of court will be enforced
rigidly and at once.
De Armitt’s Plan.
If the campers do not leave, Mr. De
Armitt will petition the court to issue
attachments for contempt. The sheriff.
however, has said that he will not in—
terfere with the camps, but will not
permit the strikers on the highways.
Forty-seven coal companies of the
Pittsburg district have signed the uni-
formity agreement. Eleven other big
concerns have promised to Sign, and
their names will be appended to the
list as soon as the directors of the
various companies meet and go through
the formality of instructing their offi-
cial heads, the presidents, as is pre-
scribed by a clause of the uniformity
agreement.
Samuel De Armitt, brother of William
P. De Armitt, who has been very active
in the interests of the New York and
Cleveland Gas Coal company during the
strike, was arrested on charges of as-
. sault, larceny and disorderly conduct
on warrants issued several days ago,
but which could not be served because
he was under the protection of the
sheriff’s deputies. The suits are
- brought by former employees of the
, company and their wives. He was
taken before an alderman and gave bail
in $1,000. .
The President’s Congratulations.
Washington, Aug. 21.—Word reaches
here that Granville Stuart, the United-
States minister to Uruguay, has made
a personal call on the president of that
republic to convey to him the congratu—
lations of President McKinley on the
failure of an attempt made on the life
of the Uruguayan president by Revec—
ca, a crazy student, some two months
‘ ago.
The Afridi Rising Exaggerated.
Simla, India, Aug. 21.—General Blood,
the commander of the British forces op—
, crating a ' inst. the insurgent tribesmeiz
on the tiontier, has reached Galagal
Without opposition. He reports that vil—
lage to have been found deserted and
says that the Afridi rising is exagger-
ated, adding that they have not left
Tirah.
Terra Cotta Works Burned.
Woodbridge, N. J., ' Aug. 21.—Fire
damaged the works of the Staten Island
Terra Cotta company, on Staten Island
sound, at Spa Springs, between here and
Perth Amboy, calising a loss of from
$50,000 to $75,000. The plant has been
for some time in the hands of’Lawyer
,Bacot of Jersey City as receiver.

THE CONWAY KIDNAPING.
Two Men, Supposed to Have Been Im-
plicated, Arrested at Philmont, .N. Y.
Albany, Aug. 21.—-The police of this
city received a message today from
Philmont, Columbia county, to the ef-
fect that Henry A. Blake and A. Knapp,
or Knass, who kidnaped John Conway,
had been captured there. Several per-
sons who know Blake at once went to
Philmont to identify the men.
The police have been searching for
these two men since the Conway boy
was rescued in the woods near Karners.
It is supposed that Blake was the king
pin in the plot. It was he who nego—
tiated to deliver the child to the police
for $2,500 and led them to the scene.
The man who had hold of the child dur-
ing the long parley between the rescuers
and kidnapers is believed to have been
Knass, a New York crook. It is known
that Blake came here from New York
on Saturday. The ConWay boy has said
that he did not see his uncle, Joseph
Hardy, on the day of the kidnaping or
afterward.
The residents of the north end, where
the Conways live, have become quiet
again, and calmly await the arrest of
the principals concerned in the kidnap-
ing. At the Conway home today all was
serene and happy. The boy was res-
cued in time to allow him to celebrate
his fifth birthday at his home today,
and he had a jolly time. The mother
Will not let him out of her sight.
Neighbors continued calling at the
house all day, and little Johnniewas
the recipient of many presents and
coins of all denominations. His bank
was his constant companion from the
time he awoke. He says that he is
saving up to reward the fat man who
rescued him. This was Property Clerk
Matthew Greagan, who is connected
with police headquarters. Mr. Greagan
said today that the recovery of the
child was due to the sudden loss of.
nerve on the part of the twp conspira-
tors who were treating with the rescu-
ing party for the $2,500 in cash before
they would surrender the child.
"We' were conferring with the kid-
napers for over three hours,” said Mr.
Greagan, “and there is no doubt that
they became disheartened at the long
delay. Their courage failed -them.
When I found the child in the brush,
the men were in flight. I am satisfied
now that there were no more than two
and that there was no ground for our
fear of an ambush. The nervous ten-
sion, however, was great, and we did
not feel warranted in scouring the place
for the men after we had secured the
child. I am satisfied the men abandon—
ed the boy and fled some minutes be-
fore we found him.” '

LIKE CAPTAIN KIDD.
The Master and Two Seamen of an Italian
Bark Kidnaped and the Vessel Looted.
Valetta, Island of Malta, Aug. 21.—
Information has just been received here
to the effect that the Italian bark Fi-
ducia, Captain Razeto, from Pascagcula
on June 4, for Marseilles. was spoken on
Aug. 16 in latitude 36.04 and reported
having been boarded on Aug. 15, abreasl
of Cape Baba, by 14 pirates, whc
fired on the crew, ransacked the vessel,
stole the papers, charts, instruments,
provisions and the clothing of the crew,
cut the running gear and carried off the
captain, boatswain and a seaman. The
Fiducia was supplied with provisions
and instruments by a passing vessel and
was thus enabled to proceed.
The National Park Highwaymen.
Cheyenne, Wy., Aug. 21. —Unite..
States Marshal McDermott has been ad-
vised by the attorney general to double
the amount of the reward offered by ti].-
department of justice for the capture 01
the stage robbers in the National park.
Five hundred dollars will now be paid
for the arrest and conviction of tin-
highwaymen.
TIRES THAT LEAK.
The Morgan & Wright single-tube
quick-repair tire must be regarded as
a distinct improvement in bicycle tire
construction. It has the following ad-
vantages:
While punctures in it can be re-
paired with plugs, or semi-liquid inv
jections, as well as in any other
single-tube tire, it can be permanent!)
repaired by using the quick-repair
strip inside the tire. See out No. 1

then pressing down on the tire with

strip inside is picked up by the cement,
thus closing the puncture, as in cut
No. 3. .
The Morgan & Wright single-tn
quick-repair tire is guaranteed not
porous. This is on account of the way
in which it is made. Nearly every
rider has heard of tires that “leak
' like a. sieve.”
Many tires rot, because water gets
into the fabric between the two layers
of rubber. The Morgan & Wright
fabric is proof against moisture.
Everybody knows how comfortable
Morgan & Wright tires are, and yet
This is
due to the fabric. ,
Ask any bicycle dealer whether
other tires last as long as Morgan &
Wright tires. Ask, also, what the
, Morgan & Wright guarantee means.
Morgan & Wright tires are repaired
free of charge, at the factory in
Chicago or at any of the Morgan ‘&
Wright free repair shops, located in
the principal cities.‘
N. B.—When'you have‘a puncture,
get right off. Riding a. tire flat, when
it has a tack 0r nail in it, may ,
‘ ' {amaze it considerably.

Mrs. James E. Beach, of Rosen-

years ago I was a sufferer from
kidney disease, so sick and help-
less I could not walk a step. My
physician could do me no good, so
I began to use Dr. David Kenne-
dy’s Favorite Remedy. From
the firSt dose I could see improve-
ment and it entirely cured me.
My husband used it for dyspepsia,
with excellent results.”
Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite
Remedy dissolves the excess of
uric acid in the blood, thus curing
Rheumatism, Dyspepsia, Kidney,
Liver and Urinary troubles. Ills
peculiar to women are positively
and permanently cured by this
marvelous medicine.
