A dispatch fron Uniontown says Before
daylight Saturday morning two men broke
into the house of Mrs. Murket, living at
McClellandtown. and demanded her money.
Her house was visited in the same manner
few weeks ago, and the two men this
morning told her she had been talking too
much about H. On telling them she had no
money, they tied her to the bed, saturated
her clothes with oil and threatened to burn
her to death If she did not reveal the place
of her money. She protested she had none
and the iends finally departed without get
ting any booty but few articles Of small

Shortly before midnight, Thursday, two
masked men entered the small hut in the
rear Of Josiah Braut's farm house, on the
hilltop south of town, and rudely seiz-
ing the lone occupant, Lobengier Kimmell,
dragged him from his bed, blindfolded him
asd tied him fast TO bed post before they
proceeded to ransack his house. Mr. Kim
nell, who is ia the neighborhood of seventy
years Of age, and not strong physically,
offered no resistance. He says that be was
aroused from his slumbers BY the breaking
open Of the door, and that before he had
time 10 get up two men with handkerchiefs
tied over their faces, one of whom wore a
beard, took hold OF him /; the man with the
beard held his hands, while the other tied a
sack over his head Then they secured his
hands aud feet to a bedpost with pieces of
wire, aud after taking slD in gold, which he
had concealed under his pillow, left him in
that condition In the course of an hour
Mr.. Kimmell managed TO release one Of his
hands from its wire fastening. and then sue
ceeded in freeing himself entirely. He then
went 70 the house Of Henry Koontz, few
rods distant. and after apprising him Of what
had occurred, asked Roontz to so With him
back to his house. Mr.. Koontz complied
with his request. and found The house ali
torn up and the wire coils around the bed
post, as KimmelI had represented. 1t appears
that some time ago KmmeIi had purchased
the Charles Hoffman property in the south
Of this borough. and had only one more pay
ment TO make on it. To make this fnal pay
ment he recently sold horse and deposited
the proceeds. Of the sale in bank He
drew $40 in gold Thursday morning
and that fact was evideutly known TO the
bold scoundrels. There is nc clue as to who
the robbers were, but there can be but little
doubt that they were persons acquainted

in the Democratic cloak-room- The

OF the electric lights. group OF
Southerners were there telling stories.
Among them was Republican who had
wandered over froI. his own side OF the
House, and had been drawn to the fire
SIDE by some occult magnetism.
The stories were all good. They
were political, personal and moral.
One was told BY the Hon. William l..
Wilson, OF West Virginia 1t was con
cerning his experience az q Democratic
meeting in Baltimore. Mr. Wilson and
Clifton r. Breckenridge, son OF John c.
Breckinridge once Vice-President OF
she United States, are of less than
medium stature. Wilson is a little
thinner than Mr.. Breckinridge, but at
distance they look somewhat alike.
In the late Cleveland campaign the
Crescent Club Of Baltimore held pub
lie meeting every Friday night. Mr..
Breckinridge made an address at one
OF these Friday night meetings and
Mr.. Wilson followed him week later.
One OF Wilson's personal friends stood
near the door while the West Nirg iniSn
was speaking. Two well-dressed young
men stepped inside and began to listen
10 him. They regarded him with some
astonishment. Finally, one said TO the
other:
why, it's the same little cuss who
was talking a week ago He hasn't
got through yet. Let's so out and get

had subsided a Democrat retailed one

SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsPArcH.i
MEADvILLE, May 2-About 200 farmers at
tended the Crawford County Farmers Conven-
ton, held in this city to-day. The session
lasted about four hours and wound up in a
manner positively unsatisfactory to every
farmer present. The same resolutions as those
adopted in Erie county yesterday were pre-
sented with the addition of prohibition
clause.
The latter kicked up general muss and
proved the entering wedge for continuous dis
cord. 1t was adopted by majority of 2l. The
recommendations of the Committee on
Nominations resulted in a good deal of
bitter speech-maki1g. The meeting de-
veloped into a simple scramble for
favor, and matters got so warm that one men,
Der, who had taken an active part in the pro-
ceedIngs, arose when the meeting was about
three-fourths over, and denounced the whole
affair as fraud.
Over half of the convention followed suit and
left the hail. and when the convention formally
adjourned there were not over 10 present and
paving the slightest attention to proceedings.
Prominent farmers who were present un-
hesitatingly denounce the convention as
farce, as 1t was in the fullest sense The trouble
was the suspicion in which the various political
elements hold each other.

where a strike on at the Whitney Coke
Works, caused by the discharge of a man and
some differences about wages. The matter was
amicably settled, and the miners have returned

discharge of a man was also fixed by Parker
and now the utmost tranquility prevails in the
coke regions.
The situation in the Smithton district is quite
critical The Smithton Coke Company has noti-
fed its employees that they must leave their
houses within six days. This is a severe blow to
the miners. Thev have not as yet determined
whether they will leave the houses peacefully or
stand an eviction. 1t is probable that they will

houses in that section.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcHi
WEST NEWTON, April 2-James White &
Co., of Irwin station. have been securing
options all of the coal lands surrounding this
place, and up to yesterday they had secured
upward of 1000 acres. The options were taken
at a very fair price. The coal, when sold, will
bring from 100000 to SS0O.O00 Beside these
options, Mr.. White owns 5000 acres of coal
lands, making in all. 10 600 acres that he con-
trolls that represent a money value of 81 900 900.
Most of the land lies along the route of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and along the
surveyed route of the South Penn road. This
is the only large compact field of A No. gas
coal, remaining IN first hands in Western Penn
sylvania-
Negotiations are now pending between Mr.
White and a company Of Eastern capitalists
for the purchase of this vast tract of coal, and
with every prospect of the sale being consum-
mated within very short time. This deal is of
great Importance to this place, as at least one
half of the money will come directly into the
hands of her citizens, and the other half will be
received by farmers in the vicinity

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.l
MAssILLoN, April 2-Messrs. J. G. Warwick
and P. Sonnhalter are convinced that they have
the largest single tract of coal ever found in
this vicinity. They have been sinking num-
ber of test holes for months past, located on
different farms, and have found over 800 acres
of solid coal the whole estimated at l,500 900
tons. This find has been supplemented by an
additional discovery of basin aggregating l6O
acres west of the city, and near the tract pre-
viOusly proven. A vein four feet three inches
thick was struck yesterday this place, at
distance of 25l feet from the base to the sur
face. 1t is supposed that this coal will run into
the vein first discovered so that the whole will
form one tremendous area, which will be very
valuable, on account of its location and very
compact area.
These two men control this territory indi-
vid1ally, and its development, which is a ques-
tiOn of the future, will last for years to come
The richness of the Massillon coal district is ev-
identity only beginning to be understood. To
put ii roughly, the estimated Weld of the whole
tract Just described, 225OOOO tons, would, when
loaded, tll ll25O0 cars, and this is but portion
Of the whole.
