STRIKERS LOSING COURAGE.
THEIR PETITION AS YET AvAILS THEM
 NOTHING.

Believed to Indicate a Weakness on the
 Part of the Miners Report That Elm
 ployes Will Ask for 10 Per Cent Ad-
 vance.
 PHILADELPHIA, Jan 20.-The petition of miners does not appear to affect the situa- tion. It is generally considered a comics sion of weakness of their men. Attorney General Kirkpatrick fixed Tuesday next to hear the case of the strikers against the company. Wyoming coal is now in use in all the engines on the Bound Brook Di,is ion. The company still decline to hold any conferences and is firm in it's deter imitation not to employ striking railroad CTS again, but the indications are that the developments point toward a settlement with the miners in the near future. There is no change in the situation here. All are looking to Pottsville and Harrisburg. Mutterings are heard from many who went into the strike reluctantly.
 PrTTsBURG, Pa, Jan 20.-The Pennsyl- vania company has not as yet granted the petition of the employees for an advance in wages. The petition is still under con- sideration. It is reported in railroad cir cles here that the employees of all lines centering in Pittsburg are preparing peti- tions for ten per cent advance

Robert Hamilton's Murder.

LONG BRANCH, N. Y., Jan. 2O.-The inquest into the death of Robert Hamilton was re- stunned yesterday. Fannie Addison colored testified that the saw Hamilton at the dance at Ike Bowles' house, at Limerick, the night Hamilton was assaulted. Walter B. Wieder- man swore that he attended the ball, but did not see Hamilton. He talked with Potter about the murder Monday morning. Potter said he knew nothing and cared nothing about the crime Wiederman spent the night of the murder at 'Dunk's' house. Pot ter came in late with Pete Dow ling, and the witness said he be- lieved from their actions that they killed Hamilton. The jury wanted Al Thompson and Potter to testify, but Prosecutor Haight objected. Prosecutor Haight has subpoenaed nearly one hundred witnesses from Long Branch to go before the grand jury Monday
 He says he will clean out the Long Branch dens if the residents will testify.

coFFEY's MANY CRIMES.
Accused of Murders for Which Others
 Have Suffered.

Have SuucreO.
 PrTTsBURa, Jan 20-Joe Hook, a noted man about town, yesterday made statement that in measure clears away the mystery connected with the verbal expression of Frank Small just as he stepped on the trap at the time of his execution for the murder of Mic Jacoby, two or three years ago. Frank SmalI's last words were: "There is one man in this audience who knows that I die an innocent man" Joe Hook says that Small told him in confidence that the real murderer of Jacoby was Ed Coffey, who on Tuesday attempted to take his own life in his cell at the county iail declined to commute his sentence for the murder of Policeman Evans.
 Small and Coffey were chums and con- panions in crime Small and Jacoby became involved in quarrel, but Small, it seems, went home in time to allege an alibi at the hour Jacoby was murdered. Hook states that Coffey took Small's part and subsequently, waylaid Jacoby, killing him and escaping in the darkness. Small was arrested and charged with the murder. Coffey told Small to never mind, that he would furnish the money to see him through, and there was no danger of his hanging. Coffey furnished the money for the defence, obtaining it by the robbery of bank in Allegheny City The prosecution was vigorous, circumstantial evidence abund- ant, and Small was convicted of the crime which Coffey had committed, and expiated it on the gallows
 Coffey is also charged with five other mur- ders, for one of which man is now serving life sentence in Madison, Ind, and another in Columbus. O. Many of the prominent citizens of this city to this day maintain Small's inno- cence of the crime for which he hanged.

NEITHER FOOD NcR FUEL.

Precarious Predicament of the Inhabi-
 tants of Minnesota Village.
 ST. PAUL, Jan. 2O.-There $ a great deal of solicjtude for the people of Browns Valley, village of 1,500 souls in Traverse county, Minn., on the border of Dakota. The place is ill the region where casualties were greatest in the blizzard of last Thursday, and no re- ports whatever have been received directly from there for several days.
 Browns Valley is on branch of the Mani toba road, but no trains have run there since Christmas, and telegraphic communication is interrupted. Besides, the country roads are banked full of snow to the depth of four feet on a level and are impossible everywhere.
 On Sunday afternoon man walked across the country on snow shoes from Browns val Icy to Beardsley, a place eight miles away, and reported that there was neither a pound of coal nor a stick of firewood in the village, and that the suffering of the people could not be estimated. He said that after burning all their own fuel they made a raid on the Manitoba round house and confscated ali the coal stored there When this supply was ex- exhausted the railway buildings were torn down and chopped into firewood. After tell ing his story the man begged a sack of coal, threw it across his shoulder and tramped back to his family. Many carloads of fuel con- signed to Browns Valley are blockaded at Morris, and large force of men are engaged in opening the line, but trains cannot be run for four or five days
