bark and a hideously painted face
thrust itself almost into his own. That
glance satisfied the savage, and he
thrw back his head to give utterance to
the war-whoop, when Jabe grasped his
throat with his iron fingers and effectu-
ally stifled the sound. The redskin
struggled and felt for his knife, but ere
he could use 1t Marden wrenched it from
his hand and thrust it into his bosom.
Then Ariel drove his Ratchet through
the bottom Of the canoe and it sank
with it's luckless owner to the bottom
OF the riyer. BY this time the bark had
drifted below the line, the gap in which,
caused by the absence Of the sunken
canoe, was exciting perplexity among
the natives. What had become of itF
The fog had grown intense, and
the gap could not DO discerned.
Tho sound Of voices on the
shore indicated that the excitement
had extended in that direction, and
Marden decided to push on at all haz-
ards. Dropping his paddle in the water
he urged the canoe forward, and Jabe,
conscious of the act by feeling rather
than by sight. added his powerful
stroke. Then came a slight shock and
q smothered grunr, splash in the water,
and a canoe, bottom up, hoated past and
disappeared. For the next hour the
voyagers piled their paddles silently,
and when the fog lifted they were far
beyond the reach of their enemies.

WATERFORD, N. Y, June 6.-Six ties
were fastened with ropes across the
Delaware & Hudson tracks just below
the trestle work at this place at II
p. M, with the evident intention of
wrecking the north bound midnight
sleeper. The engine attached to the
pay car bound south struck the obstruc-
tion and broke the ropes without leav-
ing the track. No damage was done.

crowded with Aged Soldiers.
General A. L. Pearson went to Boston
last evening to attend the annual meeting of
the Board of Managers of the
National Soldiers Homes. He was ap-
pointed a member of the board last
winter. He said he expected to meet in
the depot here Colonel Leonard A. Harris,
was shocked:to hear OF his sudden death on
Saturday. The Colonel was a gallant
soldier and a good friend of the aged
veterans, said General Pearson.
att requires peculiar men to handle the
old soldiers, and only those adapted to the
work are selected at the different
homes. All of them are very
much crowded, and others should be
built Some Of the board appeared before
the Committee on Military Affairs, who
have charge of such matters, and made
certain representations that may prove
effective. There are not less than 5000
soldiers at the Dayton Home, and
this is most too many to be
cared for. Only those are taken
who are unable to earn a livelihood. So
many of the old boys have become insane,
and there is only the one asylum for them,

in the insane department of the City Farm,

The new home at Marion, Ind, is now in
operation, and has relieved the pressure a
little.

The General is also enthusiastic over the
good work being done by the training ship

make two years cruise. The officers each
have a class, and they are training the
youngsters so that when they return they
will be able to go on merchant vessels with

gretted that he never had such an oppor-

SOME CHATS ON ANUMBBR OF SUBJECTS

Colonel A. L. Conger, of Akron, the Re-
publican State Chairman of Ohio, came
over to Pittsburg last evening, to adjust
some freight matters connected with his
business with the Pennsylvania road. The
Colonel is also a member of the National
Republican Committee, and by reason Of
training and experience, is well qualified to
speak on political subjects in his State.
Among other things he said:
''The Democrats, of course, by their ger
rymander will gain some Congressman in
Ohio. The proportion now, as nearly as L
can remember. is 16 to in favor OF the Re
publicans. When the election is over these
figures will probably be reversed, but tney
are going to have q tougher time to elect
some of them than they imagine. McKln-
lev will be reelected. The circular OF
Editor McGregor has stirred up the Demo-
cratic candidate.
LOOKS FOR A CHANGE.
"The next Legislature in Ohio will be
Republican and then we will redistrict the
State as it should be under the new census.
The people have lost confidence in the
Democratic party. They have turned their
victory into a defeat, and instead of gaining
prestige. have lost it by their extreme
measures. The gerrymander has disgusted
all the decent voters in the State, and the
citizens won't stand it
''I think the next Congress will be Demo
cratic, or else our working majority will be
very small. Their gains from Ohio will
help them. I don't think it will be neces-
sary to pass the Federal election law.
Without the passage of the McComas bill it
will be useless, and as the former has been
turned down am opposed to the Federal
law. The influence of the old Bourbon
Democracy in the South is
ABOUT AT AN END,
and in a few years the younger element
will see that fair elections are held. I be-
Iieve all these things will soon right them
selves. The passage of the Federal law at
this time would only stir up race prejudices
and excite bitterness"
The Colonel stated that the National Com
mittee was doing nothing in particular in
the Congressional fights. They have Con-
gressional Committee, and, in connection
with the leaders in the various States are
trying to do what they can to stand-off de-
feat. He thought the new States would help
out the party somewhat until the Repub-
licans could recover from the effects of the
various gerrymanders.

Five Hundred Persons Join In Pursuit of a

The police last night raided the house Of
Ben Moulton, a well-known colored man,
who lives on Washington street, near Foun-
tain street, and as result had the whole
bill district in an uproar. Officers Cross,
Ludwick and Hanley made the raid and
CAPTURED Moulton and two colored women.
Officer Cross started with Moulton to a
patrol box. As they approached it Moulton
broke loose and, pulling a revolver, fired at

head. Before Cross could realize his posi-
ton Moulton started on a run up
Bedford avenue with Cross IN pur-
suit At Logan and franklin streets Cross
pulled his revolver and fired twice at the
fleeing man, but missed him. By this time
a hall dozen officers and 500 people had
ioined the pursuit. Moulton was finally
run down in a stable In Carpenters alley, a
good half mile from where he started, and
taken to the Eleventh ward station. When
searched no revolver could be found on him,

WHY THEMINE CAVED.
THE SUPPORTS BLASTED OUT WITH
DYNAMITE BY DRAIN DRILLERs.

Dangerous Practice Which Should be
Stopped or Done Under Omcial Super
visiou-Mr. J. r. Grimes Says There Ii
No Cause for Further Alarm.
Mr.. J. F. Grimes, the General Manager
of the Knoxville Land Improvement Com
pany, in speaking of the caving in of the
mine, said: 1.-The article published this
morning has had tendency to convey the
impression that large extent of territory on
the hill district has gone down, and great
disaster caused and has also created need
less alarm among many nervous persons
who are not in the slightest danger of any
thing of the kind happening to them. The
facts of this case are simply these: There
has been a cave-in in the old mine worked
out 40 years ago or more. The coal vein is
100 feet below the surface of the ground.
The cave-in has affected about 100 to 200 feet
square of the surface, damaging about half
dozen properties, one or two of which so
badly as to perhaps require rebuilding, the
others in such a manner as can readily be
repaired. The entire settlement will not
exceed one inch, and could not do so at that
depth above the coal.
1.-THE cause is simple, and on this point
people should be well informed. In all coal
mines pillars, or more properly speaking,
ribs of coal are left to support the surface.
In this case they were abundant, but it has
been the practice among residents of the hill
districts to have holes drilled into the coal
mines distance of 150 to 200 feet for drain
age. If the drill penetrates into one
of the ribs or pillars of coal
no drainage is had, and as the driller usu-
ally guarantees an opening into the mine SO
that water will freely run away, if he
strikes rib or pillar he expIodes from 25 to
100 pounds of dynamite in the hole, thus
utterly shattering the supports for large
distance and beside shattering the rock for
nations above. which support the surface.
Dynamite was exploded in this immediate
vicinity and is the cause OF this cave-in.
The city should not allow holes to be drilled
without permit from someone in authority,
and the use of explosives entirely forbidden.
Caves cannot occur except from this cause"
The family residing in the house next to
Naples have packed up to be in readiness
to move out should the sinking continue. A
large crack on Knox avenue appeared yes
terday which is believed to be caused by the
pillars being removed below the street. An
offer was made to a gentleman owning one
of the houses affected by the break, but he
refused to dispose of the property at the
price offered. He stated that he felt no
alarm and had no intention of selling the
property. A few hundred dollars, he said,
would fix it up.

MAKING ITSELF KNOWN.
ONE OBJECT TO BE GAINED BY PITTS.
BURG'S SISTER

By Means of the Coming Semi. Centennial
AIleghenians Abroad Not To Hereafter
Register rs Coming From the Gas City
A Wonderful Growth.
Citizens of Allegheny think such an occa-
sion as their semi-centennial should be
seized upon, and all possible fourishlng of
trumpets INDUCED in for the benefit of the
nation-either at large or in custody. The
usual custom is for Alleghenians abroad to
register as from Pittsburg, for fear that their
signature will be paid no attention to by
the prowling hotel reporters of the effete
newspapers of the East. So general has that
custom become, that the average travelling
man will cheerfully testify under oath that
he never saw Allegheny, Pa.," attached to
anybody's signature on a hotel register.
The patriotically-minded Alleghenisns say
that these things won't do in the future,
when city is known to the world as the
twenty-third city in the Union as regards
population and the thirty-seventh as regards
manufacturing industries.
One result confidently looked for as hing
ing upon the celebration of the semi-centen-
nial is that an Allegheny man won't have
to sail under false colors for fear of being
met with chilling smile of derision from
the hotel clerk and a significant request
touching pay in advance. It's all very we'll
to hail from Pittsburg, and be taken for
coal baron, steel king or an iron prince,
and be asked if one wants a coal fire,
portable bar and two stenographers,
but Allegheny suffers in the deal. So it is
now desired that the celebration will make
Allegheny so prominent in the eyes OF the
nation that a man will write his name as
coming from Allegheny. and with a SWELL
ing chest gaze around Eastern hotel offices
and be Immediately invited to libate by some
one who wants information about the rising
star at the very beginning of the Ohio river.
There are said to be now nearly ten square
miles of suburbs ready TO come into the city,
and within year or so there may be half
dozen extra wards.
The work Of the present census will show
at least 10000 population. The rapid
growth in population by the figures of the
last five censuses is very clearly shown in
the figures: 1910, 10, 900; 1850, q, ,262; 1860.
2s.7O2; 1870. 53, 1856; 1880. 7s,472 From this
table it appears that in half century Allie
gheny has grown nearly loo, 900 in popula-
ton. To celebrate this mushroomlike in
crease properly is now engaging the atten-
tion OF the best citizens of the Northside.

BOUND TO STAND OUT.
Striking Boilermakers State Their
Position in Strong Terms.
COMPARISON OF WORK ANDWAGEs.
4 Conference With the Manufacturers
May be Held To-Morrow.
PRINTERS TROUBLES ABOUT AN ORGAN

A large and enthusiastic meeting Of the
of Labor Hall yesterday afternoon. There
were over 200 Of them present, and John
Doyle presided. The first matter that came
up was the report of the committee appointed
for the purpose Of receiving information
from the manufacturers. No new firms have
yet conceded the demands of the men since
the strike occurred.
The situation was discussed and q full ex-
preston had from the strikers as to the ex-
pediency of continuing the strike or declar-
ing it of. The universal feeling was in favor
of staying out. In support of this position,
comparison was made with the wages paid
the men in Philadelphia and other Eastern
cities. 1t is claimed the workmen get better
wages in all of the larger cities than in
Pittsburg. In Chicago the boilermakers
struck for nine hours work with ten hours
pay, and won.
AS TO COMPETITION.
The argument used against the men here
by the manufacturers is that this is the ini-
tial move on the part of the workmen for
shorter hours, and that they cannot grant
The men, however, state that this is not
true. as Chicago was the first to make the
move, and it is only matter of time until
all the large cities will be compelled to
adopt the nine-hour system.
Another matter considered was the ques-
tion of outside. The time for finishing up
outside work, repairing. etc., expired Sat
urday. 1t was decided to call off all the
men working on outside jobs, so that to-day,
instead of there being 25O men idle, over 300
will be out of work.
PLEDGED TO STAY OUT.
Strong resolutions were passed indorsing
the position of the strikers, and pledging
the entire body to remain out until their de-
mands are granted. The men also talked
about the quality of work done BY Pittsburg
workmen. They claim it is far superior
than that done in many Of the other cities
In the resolutions passed they expressed a
willingness to have the Government test
placed upon all land boilers. This is not
done, and it is claimed that boilers shipped
here from elsewhere would not stand the
test
The manufacturers who attended the New
York convention are home. 1t is probable
that conference will be arranged between
the men and the manufacturers either to-day
or tomorrow.

THEY FOOLED THE POLICE.
An Intoxicated Crowd Go to the Middle of

An Intoxicated Crowd Go to the Middle of
the River TO Escape Arrest.
About o'clock last night word was sent
to the Seventeenth ward station that gang
of toughs were disporting themselves in a
shanty boat in the Allegheny river above
the Sharpsburg bridge, and that as they
were all drunk there was danger of some of
their being drowned. Captain Brophy took
a squad of police in the patrol wagon to the
place, but on arriving there the Cap tain
found the crowd had anticipated
his movement, and, hitching a
horse to the boat had it pulled out into
middle of the river, where it was impossible
to get at it. The crowd on the boat num-
bered about 20, and everyone of them was
intoxicated, and they amused themselves by
throwing each other into the river. Just
who they were or where they came from was
a mystery. From their position in the mid
die of the river they laughed at the police
and de6ed arrest
