X;.>v VottK, July 12. — Mrs. Augusta
Sack and Martin Thorne, the alleged
murderers of Guldousuppe were ar
raigned in general sessions to plead to
the indictment found against them.
The prisoners seemed to be fully alive
to the gravity of their situation and for
first time since their arrest, the lines of
care were visible on their features.
Then- attorneys entered demurrers to
the indictment, contesting the jurisdic
tion of the court on the ground that the
crime, if one was committed, was doue
beyond the limits of New York county.
During the statement of counsel, the
two prisoners exchanged no look of re

The demurrer will be argued on Wed

The Cry of Labor Leaders In-
terested In Miners’ Strike.
WILL URGE SUSPENSION OP WORK
Cleverest Organizer* and Orators to Bo
Sant Into the Panhandle State For the
Pnrposo or Spreading the Walk Oat Doe.
trine—^Visible Supply of Coal Very Small.
Alarm Among Pittabarg Shippers.
Pittsburg, July 13.—On to West
Virgins will be the cry this week of all
the labor leaders interested in the coal
miners’ strike. During the week the dev-
erest organizers, labor orators and exhort,
era will work In the West Virginia dig-
gings, spreading the doctrine of the
strike. Pittsburg’s quota of 'organizers
will be joined in West Virginia Tues-
that the sermon from beginning to end day hy those from the other parts of
;l lie and that the wholeservice was the United States. There will beenougb
of them to thoroughly cover the entire
coal regions of Me state.
When they have finished their work
they will come to Pennsylvania and to
the George’s Greek district of Mary-
land. They will work among the min,
era of the New York and Cleveland Gas
Goal company and the Westmoreland
and Clearfield regions, if the strike is
not settled before that time. Whatever
success they may have in the West Vir
ginia, Maryland, Clearfield and West
moreland fields, the officials of the
United Mine workers, according to pres
ent indications, will have hard work in
pursuading the employes in the New
York and Cleveland Gas Coal (inm.
pany’s mines to strike.
Superintendent Thomas * DeArmitt
visited the different pits to look out for
a meeting. It was freely stated that
any miner caught attending a meeting
or fonnd talking with any of the labor
leaders would be instantly discharged.
The action of the United Mine work
ers’ officials in deciding to make West
Virginia the battleground of the strike
has caused alarm among the local ship
pers. Consequently they will place the
emergency orders at good round figures
with the operators in the OJ.earfield and
Mountain region.
The small coke operators of the Con
nelUville region, who own independent
plants, will, it is said, shut down the
majority of their ovens soon and begin
to load with coal for shipment. At the
present price of bituminous there is
more profit than for some time, and
with the prioe advancing there prom
ises to be exciting times. The visible
Bnpply of coal is very small. There are
about ten trainloads of Pittsburg product
on the sidings of the Fort Wayne rail
road between this city and Alliance, on
which the railroad company has an
eagle eye. It was mined for the lake
trade bht since held.
There are 8,000.000 to 10,000,000 bush
els on barges along the rivers. This
might as well be in tne mines as far as
satisfying the railroad demand is con
cerned. It will cost nearly as mnoh to
handle it as it did to dig it, and if pnt
on the market it will be at a very stiff
price. There are very serious donbts of
the operators being able to pnt it on the
market. The miners will watch the
coal on the barges and if an attempt is
made to load it for the railroad trade,
the handlers will be indneed to strike.
In this the miners expect to be success
ful. •
Cleveland Operators Are Hopeful,
Cleveland, July 13.—The local coal
operators take a more hopeful view of
the strike situation. Dan Hanna, man
ager of M. A. Hanna & Co., said that aS
long as the West Virginia coal was
mined there could be no particular strin
gency, as there is sufficient coal ont of
the earth already to last until winter.
Small dealers, however, are squirmim’
over their inability to get ooal far retail
orders from the big dealers. The big
dealers will not part with their supply.
Positive information has been re
ceived in tbls city that the Ohio roads
have deoided to refuse to haul West
Virginia coaL These roads inolnde the
Baltimore and Ohio, the Cleveland,
Lorraine and Wheeling, the Wheeling
and Lake Erie and the Cleveland, Can
ton and Southern. An effort is now be
ing made to verify the information.
A prominent coal operator said that
unless the miners are represented at the
meeting of the boards of arbitration at
Pittsburg, the whole thing will be A
farca
“The miners are not in a position to
ask for arbitration,” said he; “they do
not want it. They have more than ful
filled their boasts. They htfve accom
plished as mnoh, if not more, than they
said they would. They are in a posi
tion to dictate. In my opinion the
strike will last 00 days at least”
Mr. J. B. Zerbe of the Ohio and
Pennsylvania Ooal company went to
Pittsburg with Secretary Bishop of the
state board of arbitration. They will
attend the meetings of the state boards
of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.
Ho Destitution In Twimm*.
Knoxville, July 12.—Authentio in
formation from the Jellico ooal mining
district, where over 2,000 miners are ont
on a strike, is to the effect that reports
ns to destitution existing among tho
people are totally without foundation.
The miners have done no work sinoe
July 1, bnt have so far managed to get
support trom the ontside. The strike
was brought abont mainly through the
desire of the operators to suspend dur
ing the summer on account of the low
price of coal and high freight rates.
They have been indifferent whether or
not an agreement was reached as to the
wage scale. As yet no violence
reported.

In the year 1863, white in command of a
Union regiment at Cumberland Gap, Colonel
Mosser, now of Flat Licks, Kentucky, re
vived a severe gunshot wound in his abdo-
n :n. In a few months he was again in the
saddle, but soon was obliged to undergo fur
ther medical treatment, and his condition be
came so serious that in the winter of 1863 he
returned to his home, and was never again
fit for active service. During the years that
have since passed, Colonel Messer has been a
confirmed invalid from the effect of his
wound, and has been under the constant care
or the loeal physicians, not improving, but
growing worse as the years rolled on. His
condition eventually became deplorable. Al

he felt so much easier and more comfortable,
that several other boxes were procured, and
he continued to take them faithfully. 8oon
the swelling in his legs disappeared, and
with it the fierce rheumatic pains with which
he had long suffered. Strangest of all. his
eyesight, which for so many years had been
useless, was restored.

The Colonel, since his recovery, is never
tired of descanting on the virtues »>f these
pills, and every advertisement that lie finds
he carefully clips, and sends to some sick
friend; or neighbor, with the assurance thut
they will cure’ him.
The'high standing of Colonel Messer, and
his remarkable recovery, makes this report
more than usually interesting, and when it
was received at the office of the Dr. Wil

arrived from China and Japan two days
ahead of sohednle time. She brought
Yokohama advices to June 29. The
Japanese Mail gives a summary of the
correspondence from Tien-Tsin, by

foreign colony in that city is alarming.
Three Chinese were killed in the last
two days of May on the charge that
they bad stolen foreign children in or

offerings to insure the safety of the
foundations of the New French cathe

A Tien-Tsin correspondent says:
“It is reported that a conspiracy has

tllulonary and Evangelistic Force* Heard
at the Two Pavilion*—Praise For the
Committee of ’97 and Gratification at
the Reception Tendered by ’Frtaeo—VI*-
ltlng Delegate* to Tour California.
San Francisco, July 13.—With tho
day’s meetings in the Mechanics’ pavil
ion the most successful Christian En
deavor convention ever held was brought
to a cIosa The program for the day
was a very interesting one. Besides
the early morning prayermeetings, the
Christian Endeavor missionary forces
spoke at the morning services at the
Mechanics’ pavilion and the evangelistic
force was at Woodward’s pavilion.
In the afternoon the junior Endeavor
ers rallied at the Mechanics’ pavilion
and a practical school of Christian En
deavor methods was held at Wood-
ward’a At both pavilions special con-
.Becration exercises marked.the close of
all proceedings.
While the number of persons seeking
admission to the big pavilions was not
so great as in previous sessions, still
there were packed houses and the en
thusiasm was as great as at any time
since the beginning of the convention.
Iu fact it seemed, as though every ono
present desired to express ids or her sat
isfaction with tho way the greatest con
vention of EndeavorerB ever held and
conducted. There was praise for the
committee of *97, gratification at the
reeption all had reoeived at the hands
of California in general and for San
Francisco in particular and thankful
ness for the perfect weather whioh has
blessed the entire meeting.
On Tuesday the visiting delegates, or
a great majority of them, will attend a
mblio reception, to which they have
eeu specially invited by the committee
representing the citizens of Oakland.
It is expected that at least 10,000 will
cross the bay and enjoy the hospitality
of the Oaklanders.
With the end ot the convention the
thousands of visitors, delegates and
others will take advantage of the oppor-
portunity and the oheap rates to visit
the many places of interest throughout
the state. The arrangements have been
made for excursions to Monterey, Mount
Hamilton, Yosemite, Santa Clara moun
tains, Stanford university aud other in
teresting places, taking in the southern
country as part of their joorney.
The rash for tickets to these “side
trips” was great and the clerks worked
hard to keep the crowd moving as rap
idly as it gathered. At 7 o’clook a m.
the sale of excursion tickets began and
from that hoar until evening there was
not a minute’s rest for the ticket sellera.
For the next three days the Yosemite
ronte will have all the passengers it can
carry and during the last few days ex
enrsionists were going to the valley in
parties of 100 and upwards by tho rail
roads.

Circuit Coart Sustain* Big Parchai* of
Hall* From Caraegle A Co.
Baltimore, July 12.—Judge Goff of
the United States circuit court has ap
proved the policy of the receivers of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad and au
thorized the issuing of $680,000 worth
of certificates to pay for 40.000 tons of
new steel rails, to be purchased from
Carnegie & Oo.
The petition was opposed by attor
neys of J. P. Morgan & Go., who are
trying to get control of the road and
conduct the reorganization. The re
ceivers secured an option on 50,000 tons
of rails at $17 a ton, and that option is
now worth $200,000, as rails have in
creased $4 a tom
In his decision Judge Goff said that
those who opposed the petition did so
without denying a single allegation in
the petition, bnt only objected to pay
ing for the rails with certificates.
They relied principally npon the evi
dence of an expert, who considered that
lihere was no absolute necessity at this
lime for snch a quantity of rails. The
evidence showed that the rails were
needed.

Exploration was not carried very far,
as a yawning abyss was enconutered at

this abyss could bu heard rattling and
clanking on the sides, but never a sound
of the bottom being touched. Photo

SPOONS FRBE TO ALL.
I read in the Christian Standard that
Mist A. M. Frits, Station A. St. Louis
Mo., would give an elegant plated hook
spoon to any one sending her ten 2 oent
stamps. I sent for one and found it so
useful that 1 showed it to my friends,
and made $18 in two hoars, taking or
ders for the spoon. The hook spoon
a household necessity. It cannot slip
into tbe dish or cooking vessel, being
held in tbe place by a hook on theJbaok.
The spoon is something housekeepers
have needed ever since spoons were first
invented. Any one can get a sample
spoon by tending ten 2-oent stamps to
Miss Fritz. This is a splendid way to
make money aronnd home. Very truly,
