Melville was sent to State prison from
Toledo last December for seven years
for bigamy He died in prison yester-
day. His father was an Englishman
and his mother a Russian Countess.
He entered the Russian army, but
that was too dull for him, and he Sc
cured a commission in the English
army through his father. Dissatisfied
again, he ran away and came to Amer
lea. He had not been long in this
country before he had married fifteen
different women. The last one was q
daughter of Charles J. Whitney, q
wealthy resident of Detroit, and man
ager of the Standard Theatre, Chica-
go. With this young lady he eloped
to Toledo.
He won the affection of Miss Whit.

coachman. He had been sick for
about two weeks with intermittent fe.

Edward Melville Censinieski. He al.
ways asserted that he had but one
wife, and that he had always been
true to her. She lives at Petersboro

CHATTANOOGA, August 2.-The
strike of coal miners at Dayton mines
forty miles above the city, is assuming
a very alarming attitude. The com.
pany is erecting two 10O-ton iron fur.
naces and developing extensive mines
having 800 men employed. A month
ago a reduction of 1911 per cent. was
announced and all accepted it except
the miners, 100 in number, Since
then the mines have been closed. To
day it developed that movement i.
on foot among the miners to force the
furnace men and all other laborers tt
quit work, and plan has been disclos
ed whereby they will obtain the coop

locality, fully 500 in number. Seriou
