END OF STRIKE
NOT IN SIT
PRESENT INDICATIONS POINT
MORE DEFINITELY NO PRO
I LONGATION.
SO SAYS GENERAL CORBIN
He is Using His With
Operators and Mon Who are
Trying to Adjust the
Differances.
Shenandoah, Pa., Aug. 26.—Much Im
portance is attached to the calls Gen
oral Gobin receives from coal mine op
erator:;. who spend hours with the gen
el’s! in going over the strike situation.
After having met a number of oper
ators, General Gubin said today that
he dm-b not see any signs of a settle
ment. In fact, he slates, all Indications
point more definitely to a prolonga
tion of the strike now than they did
when he first reached here.. He keeps
in touch with the strikers, as well ns
the operators, and may be seen daily
ri< ! ;t:;'. over the hills with members of
his staff. Along the road he ire
,l fluently holds conversations with min
f era. a’l of whom displayed friendly
1 feeling toward him personally. There
is no ill-feeing here against the snl
dlers, and the military has become ~o
popular that a movement has been
set afoot to start, a company in this
town.
Individual operators are beginning
to display evidence of a willingness to
end tile strike if a method could be
shown them how they could make a
concession to the men without stulti
fying themselves. In speaking with
numbers of the staff at brigade head
quarters some have within the past
few days stated that if a way could
be suggested whereby they could give
in without placing themselves in a
had light they would favor a settle
ment. General Gohin Is using his
good offices toward a settlement, and
he allows no opportunity to iiass when
in conference with operators, to make
a conservative plea for the men on
strike.
COAL STRIKERS RIOTOUS.

en at Hazleton.
Tinz< Iton. Pa.. Aug. 2G. —August
Scheuch, aged 56 years, a special po
liceman in the services of the Lehigh
Valley Coal company, was assaulted
and stabbed on the outskirts early
today while attempting to rescue his
non Willie in Sclicuch, a non-union
waikman employed at the company’s
No. 40 colliery, from a mob of about
3,000 strikers, who had gathered from
all parts of the Hazelton region on the
roads, loading to the mine to frus
trate the plans of the company for a
partial resumption of operations with
a non-union force of 2.50 hands.
A majority of the non-union ipen
were taken to the workings in a spe
cial train, which the strikers did not
expect to Interfere wilh. Mr. Scheuch,
who lives in this city, walked from
his home toward the colliery and thus
fell into the hands of the picket-;.
Most of the clothing was torn from
hi.- !>-■!: In the Mi uygTe whlcl%follu v
ed When Scheuch rushed to his a-d
the mob set upon the elder Scheuch,
who was finally rescued by a mine
foreman and removed to the miners’
hospital. Scheuch was stabbed in
the breast and on each hip, kicked in
the abdomen and struck on the head
with a stone. His injuries are not
very serious. The knife which was
sunk into his breast struck a rib and
that fact probably saved his life. The
effort to prevent work at the mine was
successful.

Death of Tennessee armer Charged
to Widow.
Nashville, Tonn.. An-:. 26.—John F.
Wright, a prosperous farmer resid
ing near Wnverly. was shut and in
stantly killed Saturday night while
asleep.
The deed was committed with a
double-barreled shotgun. The entire
top of his head was shot off.
The neighborhood was aroused by
the cries of his wife and a crowd soon
gathered. Sheriff Fentress was tele
phoned for and soon arrived with
bloodhounds, but they failed to strike
a trail.
The officers searched the house and
found two loaded shells and one empty
one, the latter having recently been
fired.
Mrs. Wright had previously stated
to the coroner’s jury that there was no
sheil on the place.
Shells were found concealed be.
tween the ceiling and the floor. Wright
and his wife did-not get. along well,
and this with other evidence, caused
suspicion to rest upon th woman, and
she has been placed under arrest.
The verdict of the jury was that
Wright met his death at the hands of
his wife. Later in a private conver
sation with Sheriff Fentress the wo
man confessed the killing of her hua
hand. The corn-'. lon Is being kept
quiet for fear of mob violence, as the
relatives of the murdered n.an are
greatly wrought up. Wright was
shout 65 years of ago and highly re
spected. He ami his wife had five

at th - time of the killing Mrs.
Wright has been taken to Vr.verly and

BATTLE ABBEY LEASED.
Michael P. Grace Will Use Same as
Winter Residence.
New York, Amt. 26. — Battle Abbey,
the historic idle which marks
the. spot where Harold, sur
rounded by his Saxons, fell
before the ax of William the Conquer
or at the battle of Hastings, has been
leased for a term of years, says the
Herald, to Michael P. Grace, brother of
former Mayor William R, Grace.
Mr. Grace will use the abbey as a
winter residence.
For a long time Mr. Grace lias leased
Lord Howes’ estate in Hertfordshire
for his winter home.
Battle Abbey, which belonged to the
late Duchess of Cleveland, widow of
the fourth and last Duke of Cleve
land, and mother of Lord Rosebery,
was sold at auction last autumn to Sir
Augustus Frederick Walpole Webster,
a descendant of Sir Thomas Webster,
who bought the abbey from the sixth
viscount Montague in j.,18, and in
whose family the abbey remained for
130 years. The purchase price wan
the equivalent of $1,000,000.
CHASE OF WHITE SQUADRON.
Admiral Higginson to Submit Report
to Navy Department.
Washington, Aug. 26.—Admiral Hig
ginson soon will submit to the navy
department an elaborate report of the
results of the chase of the white
squadron by the north Atlantic squad
ron, which ended yesterday. In the
meantime the official report of the af
fair is confined to the brief telegrams
also received from Commander Pills
bury announcing his surrender and a
dispatch from Admiral Higginson tell
ing of the disposition he had made of
the vessels engaged in the chase.
Naval officers here say that while
the capture of the white squadron
scorned to be a foregone conclusion,
owing to the discrepancy in strength
between the two squadrons, yet this
chase has had instructive and impor
tant results. It is the expectation that
perhaps next year another such chase
will be made in which the problem
presented to the defending squadron
will be much more difficult than that
in which it has Just been engaged.
