Surveillance of PinkertOn's Men.

P1rrsBURG, Oct. ia Chronicle Bradford,
Pa special says: 1.-THE Beech-tree mines,
owned by the Rochester & Pittsburg railroad,
started up this morning with one hundred
and sixty men, without any disturbance, the
presence of Pinkertons detectives evidently
having good effect on strikers. An attempt
will be made to open the mines of the COM
pany at Punxsutawney this afternoon and
the extensive mines at Dubois tomorrow.
The strikers at these points are very strong,
and it is reported they will resist any at
tempt at resuming. A dispatch from Rey-

THE JOHNSON WOMAN.

While Suspected of Completely in the Crime.
There Is No Proof Against Her.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
FOWLER Ind, Oct. 15.-There is much excite
ment in the neighborhood of Oxford over the
tragedy, and very bitter feeling exists against
Cephas Atkinson, the father of the murdered
girl, and Mrs johnson, a milliner at Oxford,
who had been intimate with him for some
time. The relations between the two have
been of such q character as to create great
scandal, and some facts recently discovered
have aroused the suspicion that she had
something to do with the crime. few days
before the murder, Ada Atkinson found
some letters of compromising character
written by Mrs. Johnson to her father, and
told her mother of them. The result was
bitter quarrel, which became generally
known throughout the neighborhood,
and Mrs Johnson is SAID to have
made the threat that that girl will never
read any more letters of mine" On the day
of the murder the johnson woman spent
some time in an excited search for Atkinson,
and when she found him there was a lengthy
consultation between them. Since then he
is said to have gone to her house several
times day, and the feeling has become so
great in the vicinity that threats of tar and
feathers are frequently heard. Ladd, who is
implicated in the crime by the statements of
Nelling, is weak minded young man, and
it is thought that a scape-goat is being made
of him. He has been working for Mrs John
son for some time and there were rumors
tl,ott tnaxy tn ha ms n
that he had any such intention. There is a
general suspicion about Oxford that the
woman knows all about the crime and, in
some way, was connected with it, but there
is no direct evidence tending to establish
this fact. W.T..

the right-of-way through our city to put up

accommodate the people ? There is - tral

Now, as for the Wabash. We have no connec-

| and pay for 1t. over bad roads at that Can you
| not wake the officials ofthat road up and cause

Are our citizens TO sit with their hantls folded,

We should Insist that the X. e. 4 E. be ironed
with broad gauge rails to insure safety to the
travelling public, ana passenger train
should be run each way morning and night from
Sedalla to Kansas City. and Il through coach
given us to and from ST. Louis. 1t is 81 miles
from sedalia to Kansas City. and surely road
running through such country ought to have
more accommodation than we getting. Let
our people wake up and make demands if
they would get anything. and ot sit still and

OF course, am aware steel rails are being pnt
down monthly, but let them shove this business
and complete the road. The continent has been
more than half way spanned by the A.. T. & s.

ALL ENLIGHTENED DINERS"
An 0pen-Uearted assembly at the
'.Leinner o. Missed Authors.

Alphorse Daudet says, in his reminis-
censes Of 'Tourgueneff i'll Paris" published
in The Century, with portrait from life:
at was at this period that we conceived the
idea Of a monthly gathering at which We
friends should meet; it was to be called 'the
FlaubeTt dinner or She dinner Of Kissed au-
thors.' Flaubert belonged to it by right Of
his 'Candidat,' 1 by that of my 'Arlesienne,'
lola with 'Bouton de Rose De Concur.
with 'Henriette Marechal.' Emile de Cir
ardin wished to slip into our group; but
though he had been heartily Kissed at the
theatre, ne was not writer IN our sense of
the word, and we excluded him. As for
Tourgueneff, lie gave US his word that he had
been Kissed in Russia; and as it was very far
off, none of US went to see.
Nothing can be more delightful than
these friendly feasts, where you talk in per
feet freedom with your wits all present and
your elbows on the cloth. Like men of ex-
perience, we were all enlightened diners.
Naturally, there were as many forms of this
enlightenment as there were different tenn
peraments, and as many receipts FOR dishes
es different provinces. Flaubert had to have
his Norman butter-pats, and his ducks from
Rouen Z etoufade. De Goncourt pushed
refinement and criticism to the point Of de-
handing preserved ginger! I did honor to
my bouillabaisse, as well as to sea-urchins
and shell-fsh; aal ToafGuenef kept on
