Sweet strains of music proceeded from the
Kent House, Lakewood, tonight. All was
gaiety in the great tall room where the
merry dancers tripped lightly over the hard
ened floor. One of the great hops was in
progress and the guests were joyous. Mid
night hour had long been struck when the
last sound of melting music died away over
the waters, and the guests, tired but happy,
lett the dance room for the realms Of
morpheus.
AT the Sterlingworth, just as brilliant,
just as gay an affair was taking place. Here
also it was early when the dance began and
late when it closed.
There are nearly 600 guests at Lakewood
now, and the house will be filled by Au-

Suits for Dana ges to be Instituted Against
the Dunbar Furnace Company.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPAroH.i
UNIoNTowN, Pa, July 12.-Master
Workman Kerfoot came-up from Scottdale
this afternoon in company with John R.
Byrne, for the purpose of meeting repre-
sentatives of the ill-fated Hill Farm miners,
and with them taking legal advice in re-
gard to entering suits against the Dunbar
Furnace Company for damages. The COM
mittee employed Attorney R. P. Kennedy
and ex-Judge Edward Campbell to prose.
cute their claims. Master Workman Ker-
foot made the following statement to the
committee and their attorneys:
The bereaved families will be the prosecu-
tors, and the Knights of Labor and the United
Miners will stand by them and see that they
receive Justice at the hands of the company.
The prosecution of Superintendent Lang will
be left to the State authorities, and / have
every reason to believe that our Common
wealth will mete out Justice to Mr.. Lang. We,
as an organization, are not here to extract
money from this company. or any one else.
We are here owing TO the fact that we feel we
are unprotected. There are dangerous mines
all over the regions, and we want to compel
the companies to make their miners safe The
bereaved families claim damages, and will feel
satisfied to get verdict to that effect"
Mr.. Kerfoot thinks that the men who
obeyed Superintendent Lang's orders in re-
gard to opening the drill hole are not to
blame. They were simply obeying the in
structions of the superintendent of the
mine, as any employe should. He says
that from the fact that there was not mine
boss, or any mine official in the mine when
that deadly drill hole was tapped ought to
be sufficient to convict the company of
Grim inal negligence before any court and
jury and sustain heavy damages for the
families.

Pending n Charge of Bignmy and Perjury
Mrs. stromberg Bfust Stay Here-A
southsiae Constable Afraid She Would
Leave the Country.
Yesterday Constable Lindner, of Alder
man McGarey's Office, received word that
Mrs. Sarah Stromberg, formerly Mrs. Walk
er, intended to 20 to Canada with her hus-
band.
About six weeks ago Mrs. Walker married
John h. Stromberg against the protest of
his mother. Mrs. Walker, it was alleged,
had not received divorce from her first
husband, who lives in Brownstown, and
when Mrs. Stromberg found she could not
stop the match, she entered suit against her
daughter-in-law for bigamy and perjury,
the last charge being for alleged swearing
falsely at the License Court.
Mrs Stromberg was held In 81, 900 bail
for further hearing next Tuesday, her
father going her bail.
Constable Lindner says he understood
that the couple intended to 60 to Canada.
yesterday, and he went to the house about
IL o'clock to arrest Mrs. Stromberg. When
he arrived, Mrs. Baker, the mother, said
her daughter was not at nome.
Constable Lindner assured her that
Sarah had no cause to hide, and after
some talk the fact was disclosed that she
was hiding in the cellar. She came out Of
her retreat dressed ready to take the train,
but instead took trip to the Jail with the
constable. Her husband tried to find bail,
but could not do so.
The little drama does not end here. In the
evening Mrs. Baker came down to Alderman
McGarey's Office with war in her eye She
said she proposed doing the constable
up for fooling her and her daughter.
She then turned on the Alderman with her
spite and large crowd collected to watch
the sport, but Patrolman Mike Wright hap
pened along and the enraged mother con-
cluded il was best 10 go home rather than

FAVORING RETALIATION.
AN EFFORT MADE TO INJURE THE AMER
IcAN PETROLEUM TRADE.


Raw Silk Materials Will be Admitted Free
Into France - Probable Return OF nj.
julie. Ferry Into Public Life Owing TO
Change of Feeling.
PARIS, July 12.-Rumors are still cur
rent that some Of the members Of the Cham
Der of Deputies, and perhaps some OF the
Ministers also, desire to retaliate against the
United States in case Of the passage OF the
Mckinley tariff bill by changing the
French tariff so as to favor the Russian
petroleum. 1t is doubtful whether the
Government will make such an effort.
The most important political action dur
ing the week, was the decision OF the
Superior Council of Commerce that In the
forthcoming tariff bill, raw silk mater
ials shall be placed on the free list. The
Temps which usually speaks the Govern
ment's mind on such occasions, says it con-
siders this the most important political
action of the year, and declares 1t assures
the continued prosperity of Lyons over her
Italian rivals.
The most marked sign Of the reaction
against the violent prejudice which drove
NJ. Jules Ferry from active politics has been
shown in the Department of Vosges where
the man who defeated NJ. Ferry in the elec-
tions for members of the Chamber
of Deputies by arousing the OLD
prejudice against him relative to
the Tonquin affair was himself defeated by
personal friend of NJ. Ferry. 1t is believed
that this will pave the way for M. Ferry's
early return to active politics. He was SO
unpopular in 1889 that his bust at the Paris
Exposition was removed, owing to the agi-
tation against him and the threats that 1t
would be mutilated in spite OF the guard.
The memoirs of Prince Talleyrand have
been edited and arranged for the press in
the French language. They are now being
translated into English, and will shortly be
published in that language.
FAVOR AN ENGLISH PRoTEcToRATE.
A small but active party in the Chamber
of Deputies is still desirous of using the es-
tablishment of an English protectorate over
Zanzibar, as provided for by the Anglo
German agreement, as the means
to oust NJ. Ribot, Minister of
Foreign Affairs, from office. The
extreme radicals remember NJ. Ribots
former Imperialist sympathies, and they do
not consider him to be a sufficiently pro-
nounced Republican to hold such an Office
as that of Foreign Minister. The Cham
Der, however, has repeatedly shown itself to
be overwhelmingly in favor of NJ. Ribot.
The discussion by the Chamber of the
Anglo-German agreement has been post
poned for a month.
The Senate yesterday passed the bill pro-
viding for a duty on wines made from

OMcer Haas Badly Beaten in Trying 10 Stop
Street Fight.

Officer Hans Badly Beaten in Trying 10 Stop
a Street Fight.
Officer John Haas, of the Second police
district, was badly used up last night by
Soho mob. At 10 o'clock he reported to
Sergeant McElhany that he was sick and
would have to go home. Leave was granted
and Haas started for home. and at the head
of the Brady street steps, on Forbes avenue,
his attention was attracted by fight that
was in progress in the street. He ran over
and captured one of the principals and was
about to take him to the patrol box when
halt a dozen burly men jumped on the of
fcer, beating and kicking him until he was
almost unconscious. He pulled out his re-
volver and finally managed to keep the mob
at bay until he gained his feet and breath.
His head and face were badly cut and his
clothes torn.
The officer has the names of three of the
men who beat him and will make an inforA
nation against them to-day.
