that Miss Lee was "grass widow"

courting her and was furnishing the

NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 23.-The
following special from Knoxville, Tenn,
which is probably exaggerated, is pub
iished by an afternoon paper: -Four
thousand well-armed miners at Brice-
vile and Coal Creek are waiting for the
militia. A bloody battle will certainly
occur If the troops go there. Advices
from various points in Tennessee, Virginia
and Kentucky Indicate that the rioters
can, on short notice, raise q force of
10000 efficient men. Monday night the
rioters formed ON Waldens Ridge and
prepared to roll down huge boulders on
the soldiers should they approach. The
telegraph wires are still intact, but ii is
hard to get message sent from Coal
Creek unless it is favorable to the
strikers"

The Horrible Deathbed Confession
Made by q Pennsylvania
Woman.
Deliberately Planned Her Husband's
Murder, and During Its Execution
Her Children Awoke.
To Hide Her Crime four Of Them Were
Killed-The Deed Attributed to 4
the Dead Husband.

AUSTIN, Pa, July 23.--A startling
story comes from one of the lumber
camps at Kettle creek, this county. In
April, 1889, the people of all this region
were Mortified by the news that Frank
Hancock, lumberman living at Blue
Run, had murdered four Of his children
and committed suicide by hanging HIM
self In his house. The news was made
known by Hancock's wife, who had
been absent from home on the night Of
the tragedy. Her story was that she
returned home and found the four chill
dren lying dead, some in the house and
some in the yard. They had been
stabbed and frightfully mutilated with
a big butcher knife. The eldest child
was IL years old. A fifth child, a babe,
was asleep and uninjured at the side Of
one OF its murdered sisters. A note,
apparently in the handwriting of her
husband, was found in which he con-
fessed the terrible crime, giving his
reason-his desire TO rid his wife of
himself and the children because Of her
conduct. A report now comes from the
camps at Kettle creek to the effect that
Mrs. Hancock had died, and before the
end came confessed that she and two
men, whom she named, had planned to
kill the husband while the children
slept. The husband was duly des-
patched, when one Of the children
awoke, and the mother stabbed 1t. The
others being awakened by the noise, all
were killed to destroy their evidence,
except the babe. Then, in the midst Of
the bloody scene, the note was written
and placed in the dead mans pocket.

Y ST. Paul, July 23.-The HALL Fitz-

been so MI /. excitement here has been
declared o.I by the athletic club under
which il ssas TO have been held. Sheriff

VAL be stopped" A short time after
neon the militia of the city were noti-
ned to assemble at the armory at 7:35

ference was being held at the county

auJourned, Messrs. Cowles and Shaw
Wsre willing 30 talk.
Mr. Shaw said: sit is to prevent the
occurrepce of a riot that we have
1tcpped the fight. There is no danger
~et riotous proceedings on our part. but
TIE opponents of the fight have demon.
strated that they are willing to incite Q
rot and will certainly do 30, and it is
to- the protection of the city
ard in behalf of the citi-
kens that we will withdraw. We are
working for the projection Of the good
eiftzens OF st. Paul from the rlotously
disposed.
Mr.. Cowles said: 1.-THE athletic club.
ipdinR itself the victim of extraordin-
try and unusual proceedings, submits
70 the inevitable and accepts the situa-
tion. II declares the fight off. We are
actnated in our decision by the feeling
that IL we persisted it would lead to dis
turbance and trouble. Mr.. Shaw fur
ther said that the money paid for tickets
