The Destitute Miners.

CHICAGO, June 22.-A morning pa
per publishes the result of the inves-
tigation into the condition of the min
ing people in the coal mining towns
of Brentwood and Streator, Ill. II
says that the condition of the Brain
wood miners is one to call forth the
commiseration of all humane people.
The normal population of the town
is about 5000, all directly dependent
upon the coal mining industry for
their daily support. At this time not
one ounce of coal is being mined and
the inhabitants are at the point of
starvation. Men, women and children
alike share the blight which has over
cast this section. The causes of
the stagnation are two: Continued
depression in the coal industry here.
and eliminating strike or lockout
which has placed 1900 bread winners
beyond the possibility of utilizing
their labor. The reporter found MANY
families with six, eight and ten chill
dren without a morsel of food in the
house. Some who have gardens are
living on potatoes and lettuce; many
have not tasted meat for a year. Food
supplies in small amounts have been
sent them, but they are totally mad
equate to the necessities of the case.
Not less than 5000 women and chill
dren are in absolute want of food and
relief cannot be too quickly sent them.
AT Streator about $500 miners have
been idle for seven weeks, resisting a
proposed reduction of ten cents per
ton in price of mining.

Says he Saw the Trunk,

CHICAGO, June OLA man who
claims to be an important witness in
the Cronin case turned up last night.
He is George E. Brooks, news agent
running on one of the railroads c)m-
ing into the upion depot. Brooks,
who is small man, about % years,
is intelligent and a good talker. His
story is to the effect that on the
night of May 4th he was driving in
Lake, with his sweetheart, and
that happening along Ash
land avenue he saw three men
loading the trunk in a wagon at
Carlton cottage and that about
half an hour later he saw some
men dumping the contents of trunk
into the catch basin in which the body
of Cronin was found. He also says he
saw the men distinctly and will be
able to Identify them and that his fe-
male companion also saw them and
that she too will identify them. He
if ready to produce the young woman
as soon as the authorities want her.
Brooks explanation of his failure to tell
his story before is that he was afraid
of losing his life as he believed the
men concerned in the murder were so
desperate they would kill any one
who they thought might come up as
witness against them. He said that
the knowledge he possessed had so
weighed on his mind that he could
not keep it to himself any longer, and
believing it was duty he owed him
self and the community he had at
last decided to tell all he had seen.
He first stipulated that he be given
protection. This was promised him.
Brooks told his story to Chief Hub
bard, with whom he was closeted for
over two hours late last night. He
described the three men whom he
saw and his description of one is said
to fit Burke, tn "i" nipeg prisoner.

COL. BELkNAP DEAD,

A Death That Casts a Shadow Far
and Wide.
When the sad news was wired TO
this city at o'clock this morning
that Col. Augustus Belknap was
dead, shadow fell on all who heard
it. Though not unexpected news,
his friends and townsmen had hoped
against hope, and would not believe
that so kindly man had gone out
from among them to return no more
forever. His stricken wife, who went
to his bedside some ten days since,
wrote to this city the hopelessness of
his condition but at her request the
news was not made public, as letters
were constantly arriving after every
bulletin of his condition received
! here which worried and annoyed
him. The end which was feared yet
| hoped against came this morning at
one o'clock and the mortal agony of
years was over. His death was caused
by malignant tumor of the stomach.
All that loving hearts and tender
hands could do to minister to his re-
| lief was done. and in the home of his
beloved sister, at Santa Barbara, Cal,
he breathed his last.
| Ever since the war for the preserva-
ton of the Union, Col. Belknap has
been at times an intense sufferer. The
ball which ploughed its way into his
groin at Fair Oaks and cut off the
point of his hip had left its indelible
imprint upon his constitution. During
the political campaign of last fall the
writer was in intimate relationship
with him for weeks and he was seldom
free from pain. The campaign closed
and found him Frustrated. He has
never rallied from that fatigue and
! the shock Of fall from his carriage
which came SOON after. His vital
| functional arrangements, caused by
his wounds, had Slapped his strength
before lie knew and when he dropped
out of active life six months ago it was
| only surprise TO those who knew
| him not.
Col. Belknap is too we'll known in
this city to need any panygeric. At
| the time of mis- death he was about 40
years of age. He served with dis
tinction i'll the ranks of the nation S
defenders from 1861 to 1865, was ter
ribly wounded at Fair Oaks but re
fused to leave the service until he was
| invaded against his wishes. Coming
to tits city about fifteen years ago, he
has been most prominently identified
| with all its material and social pro-
greSs ever since.
AS commander of the G. A. r. post
in this city, presidentand manager of
the street railway system of this city,
director of the International Fair and
other associations, a leading spirit of
the San Antonio club, patron of the
Belknap Rifies-etc., etc. in all, he
was liberal, active, energetic and
prominent.
In his death the city loses a public
spirited citizen, his family loving
husband and tender father, the bus
mess circles of this community one
who was always ready to aid in every
enterprise.
He leaves a wife and four children
to mourn his untimely taking. Three
daughters-Jessie Mrs. w. Weiss,
Annabelle, and Emma, and one son,
his youngest, Ralph aged nine years.
The remains will be taken direct to
Brooklyn, y. Y, for interment in
Greenwood cemetery. After life's
fitful fever he sleeps well.

THE MANNER OF POE'S DEATH.
MIR. w. 8. Roose Supplies Some Further
Particulars.

TO the Editor Of TIE EVENING STAR:
am very positive your account given in last
evenings STAR of the manner Of Edgar A. Poe's
death is in the main correct. The day he died
an old lawyer by the name Of Gill; who made
his home at the hospital came into my broth
ers Office and gave all the particulars of his re-
ception at tho hospital and death. The hos
pital was at the head of Broadway in East Bal
timore. Poe was cooped up the night before the
election, kept drunk on bad whisky and voted
around in the different wards the next day.
There is not an old lawyer in Baltimore that
doesn't recollect the matter as it was all the
talk at the time around the court house. Up
TO twenty-five years ago it was a very common
practice for the workers of the political parties
to rent cellars and empty houses, and the night
before election coop up everybody they found
drunk, give them plenty to drink but nothing
to eat, and vote them around in the different
wards the next day. Poe was cooped up in a
damp cellar on one of the cross streets east of
Calvert street and south of Baltimore street, in
what was called at that time the ninth ward.
There was then no registration and only one
place OF voting in each of the twenty wards. /
recollect the first time / voted, the party in
front of me gave the residence of prominent
lawyer and if the lawyer had not been the
challenger the vote would have been taken
No arrest was made and the party was taken to
the next ward where he met with more success
Laterscn when Thos. Holiday Hicks ran for
governor, the largest ward in the city the 18th.
gave him larger majority by about three
hundred than there were voters in the ward.
wish for the return of those good old DAYS
when man could vote as often as he pleased
that is, provided he voted our way.
