DEATH IN THE TRINITY.
A Fort Worth Colored Man Drowned in
the Clear Fork.
He Went Swimming in the Fatal Blue Hole
West of the City-Grappling Hooks Fail to
Bring Up the Body.

Ed Coleman, colored, aged twenty five
years, was drowned in the Clear Fork
yesterday afternoon.
Together with number of his friends
of his own race he repaired to what is
Familiarity known as the Blue Hole to
enjoy a swim. The spot is q couple of
miles from the courthouse, just above
the Texas and Pacific railway bridge,
where the water is some twenty feet in
depth.
While the bathers were enjoying
themselves Coleman was suddenly taken
with a oramp, and, with yell, went to
the bottom. He came up but once, and
when he sank for the last time only
few bubbles marked the spot where he
disappeared.
Those who were with him were so much
taken by surprise that they were not able
to render him any assistance until he was
at the bottom. Then divers went down
but though some of them were able to
find the body they were not able to bring
it to the top. Soon they all started for
the city except one man who sat on the
bank to observe if the corpse came TO the
top.
officers H. c.. Towns and Sebe Mad
dox repaired to the scene and found the
drowned mans clothes had been de-
pleted of cash amounting to $500,
which had been taken in charge by
friends. The officers endeavored to
recover The body by every means
within their power, but without
success. They returned to the city late
in the erening and notified Sheriff Rich
ardson, who started out with posse and
graphing hooks to drag the river in the
vicinity of the fatality, but up to a late
hour this morning they had not brought
III the corpse.
The Blue Hole in which Ed. Coleman
lost his life seems TO have a fatality con-
nected with it, as numerous cases of
drowning there within recent years re-
ours to the memory of the old citizens.

differed dispute ought to be removed as
soon as may be. -
The English press repudiates the idea
of allowing the Egyptian question TO have
any bearing on the settlement of the
Newfoundland dispute, the claim being
that England did the fighting in Egypt
and should reap the reward. The tone
of the English papers means plainly that
France can arbitrate on the Newfound-
land issue with the understanding that
treaty rights are to be surrendered for
sum of money, or that England will up
hold by force the claims of her colonists.
After weeks OF controversy, the New
foundland fishery quarrel is as far of
from settlement as ever.
AMERICAN CENTENARY CELEBRATION.
Remarkable interest has been aroused,
both in Spain and Italy, IN proposals
made for celebrating the centenary OF
the discovery of America by Columbus.
At Genoa the commune has voted
$40 200 for monuments to Garlbaldi
and the Duke of Galliero to be
inaugurated during the festival. Fran
chetti, composer of "Asreal, - is to
produce an opera on the subject to be
taken from the life of Columbus. A
geographical and historical congress IS to
form part of the programme.
Columbus birthplace in Vioo
Ponticello is to be restored and
regattas will be held in Spain. The
centenary will be celebrated in Madrid,
Valladia, Unelva and other places. The
most eminent among Spanish statesmen,
as we'll as artists, writer's and scientists.
are assisting or organizing committees.
The grand committee forI led
at Madrid will act in con-
cert with the government and
the royal commission appointed some
time ago and presided over by the
minister of public works, the Duke OF
Veragua, who is stated to be lineal
descendant of Columbus. It is evident
that Spaniards and Italians alike are in
earnest in seeking to do honor 70 the
memory of hero worthy of their admi-
ration.

Threatened Strike of Coal Miners.

SpeClal 10
HUNTINGDON, PA. June 22.-COmpli-
cations in the Pennsylvania bituminou 9
coal fields, embracing the Phillips burg 4,
Beech Creek and OscesIa districts, have
at last reached state of utter democrat
iZation. Owing to the continuous and
systematic tyranny of the operators in
ignoring the semi monthly payment law
and in depressing the miners in the mat
ter of labor and wages, the
miners have become aroused and
by special and general meetings
during the week have been considering
what they should do. Notwithstanding
the inhibitive legislative enactment
against them, "pluck me' stores still
flourish, and the miners have only one
means of redress, an open strike. At a
meeting to-day the miners and mine
laborsrs, representing a constituency of
Is 900 men, issued circular to
the operators demanding new
schedule of wages, more. humane
treatment and safer labor appliances.
The terms of the circular will be dis
cussed at joint meeting of the operators
and miners IN Phillipsburg on June 81,
and if not acceded to by the op orators a
general strike is threatened through
the whole region. Delegates have
been sent to Georges Greek, Nd.
and other district coal fields to ask tn g
miners there to join in the present move
ment for new scale. One of the lead
ing operators said Tonight that the Cir
cular contains demands that will not be
granted, even though it should precip-
itate a strike at this busy season. The
miners have been sold out several times
by rascally leaders. Now, however,
they are trusting no one person, but are
conducting their fight by general
movement.

Hope Gives Way to pespair.

DUNBAR, Pa, June 22.-The rescuing
party have not yet reached the entombed
miners. They are working hard but no
one knows how far they have to go yet
and they are as much in che dark now
as at any time. They may
reach the men in few hours
and 1t may be days before the Hill Farm
mine is broken into. Hope has given
way to despair. 1t is now seven days
since the disaster and few, If any, ex-
pect to find the men alive. This evening
an appeal for aid was sent out. The
miners families are in destitute circum-
stances and contributions will be thank
fully received.
