THERE are men in Fort Worth who

tcrcst those who have money without

who can plan and give and thus enlist
the aid of others. Fort Worth has such
men, they are not all dead, but they
will keep mighty quiet if buzaards in
sist on tapping their wings. Many Of
ne old guard still live. and those are
the men who are needed for leaders.
New men may possess every requisite,
but their modesty dictates retirement.
Let the old guard rally and give to the

HUNTINGTON, May 19.-Church cir
cles have been all torn up here the
past fortnight by the various criminal
charges that have been made against
the pastor of the Twentieth Street
Methodist church South, Rev. G. K.
Dawson. Prominent members of the
congregation have charged him with be-
ing q bad man, and TO back up their
charges they have secured Dig con-
signment of testimony in the shape OF
letters and papers from Gallipoiis, Par
kersburg and other points where Rev.
Dawson formerly lived.
At the quarterly meeting last night
these charges were formally presented
by Levi Jones, one OF the pillars OF the
church, and Messrs. j. f. Lambert,
VIM. Holderby and L. W. Burke were
appointed by Elder Watts, 4 committee
to investigate.
Rev. Dawson's defense is that he is
the victim of another mans sins who
looks like him. He is one-armed and
claims that his double is Giles X. Daw-
son, and that he has been sent to the
penitentiary. Feeling is running high
in Church circles, and bundle OF
switches has been laid at Rev. Daws sons
door with note of warning that he
must leave.

Coke Workers Decision Many Disturb
ances-Striker Seriously Shot.
SCoTTDALE, PA, May 19.-The min
ers of the region demonstrated their in
tention to remain out in more than one
way to-day. Every effort was made by
operators to force the men In conven-
ton to-day to vote to return to work.
but the work of the leaders in an oppo-
site direction was too powerful and they
voted to remain out. Every district in
the region was represented, and each
delegate is supposed to have voted the
sentiments of his district. After a
stormy session resolution was pre-
sented and unanimously adopted,
the convention pledging itself to stand
by the wage committee in whatever it
did, whether they settle the strike by
arbitration, conference or compromise.
This action means the strike is to be
fought out on the old lines; that the
companies may import as many men as
they choose, and that the remarkably
firm strikers, of this most remarkable
strike, will remain out until advised to
return by their leaders. Several riots
occurred this evening, one man. a
striker as usual, being shot through the
shoulder. This place has been in II
state of excitement all day, crowds
pouring in from all portions of the field
open, in their intention to see that their
representatives voted as instructed-to
strike until the end.
The first disturbance was caused by a
negro named st. Clair, who had been
working at the Valley plant of the Frick
Company. He threatened to shoot Pc
ter Wise, the labor leader, and was
chased into shed, only to be rescued
by the police after hard fight. Then
Ike Grassland, another deserter, hooted
the crowd of strikers, and was driven
into the house by mob of fully 1000
men. He was struck, and would have
been injured had not the fire depart
ment been called out and turned mon
ster hose on the mob, drenching hun
dreds and almost choking several obsti-
nate men.
Not twenty minutes after this the
ugliest event of the day occurred. Two
deputies from the Valley works had
aroused the ire of the thoroughly mad
dened mob by displaying their badges
and showing their authority in a
crowd they should have given a
wide berth just at that moment.
A rush was made for the deputies, who
backed against fence. The next mo-
ment shot was fired by a deputy and
striker, Peter Ghast, fell, shot through
the shoulder. The deputies were
trampled under foot in moment, only
to be picked up and carried away by the
town policemen, covered with bruises,
which the mob fled before deluge from
the fire department. Then q report
spread (Which was untrue) that the
striker had died. Another rush was
made by the mob, and the two deputies
were taken from the police and pounded
and kicked until covered with blood,
presenting a frightful sight. The depu-
ties (who refuse to give their names)
| begged for mercy, and advised by the
leaders, the strikers allowed them to be
taken care Of. Both men are bruised
from head to foot.

FOSTERS POSITION
rd to the Administion-Quay Has
the Bulge.


WASHINGTON, May 19.-Secretary OF
the Treasury Foster is beginning to ex-
perience the disadvantage of being al
ready committed to the fortunes OF Mr.
Harrison. A very desirable position,
that of a Judgeship to the United States
County Claims bench, will become
vacant on the goth by the retirement OF
Judge Scotield, Of Pennsylvania. This
iudgeship pays the comfortable salary
of :, 900 a year. secretary Foster has
candidate who he is very anxious to
have appointed His man is eX-Rep-
tentative Thompson, of Ohio, one of
the Republicans who were lost political
ly: in the great landslide last fall.
Senator Quay, of Pennsylvania has a
decided advantage over Secretary Foster
in that he is not committed
TO Harrison. In fact, he owes little TO
Harrison, and if it came to fight he
could control Pennsylvania in spite of
all that Harrison could do. The Presi-
dent for a time, some months ago,
treated Quay very cOldly, no doubt feel
ing that when he wanted Quay, the lat
ter would come at his call. But of late
things have occurred that have demon
strated TO Mr.. Harrison that if he is TO
obtain the Pennsylvania delegation TO
the Republican National convention
next year, he will have to make terms
with Senator Quay. This, it will be
seen, places the latter in a commanding
position towards the President Sena-
tor Quay, of course, has candidate
for the place on the Court of Claims
bench.
This candidate is Mr.. GilkeSon, of
Philadelphia, who now holds the
place of Second Comptroller of the
Treasury. Secretary Foster has worked
very hard TO get the appointment for
his. friend, ex-RepreSentatiye Thomp-
son, but Mr.. Harrison has Mr.. Foster
i'm his cabinet, and feels entirely secure
of his continued allegiance no matter
what happens. So if Secretary Foster S
man is turned down, it is generally be-
lieyed that Senator Quay'S man will get
the place. Second Comptroller Gilke-
sons promotion, will leave his present
place in the Treasury vacant, and when
this occurs, Secretary Foster will put
ex-RepreSentative Thompson forward
for it. Quay, however, determined to
play the advantage he has for all it is
worth, will insist that the Second
COmptrollerShip also be given to Penn
sylvanian, and the political prophets
are predicting be will carry his point as
well. and Quay is in position TO fight
while Foster is not.
