THE DAYA AT sCOTTDALE.

Strikers in the Coke Regions Very
 Qu1et-To-day The Time Set For
 Raidtng-Tnlk of a Conference.
 ScoTTDALE, Pa., April 5.-Utmost tranquility prevailed throughout the coke region to-day. The strikers generally spent the time in discussing the situation. Monday is the day for raiding, but there are serious apprehensions in that line. The bringing of the state militia to the district has restored quiet. The five com panies quartered in passenger cars here on the Pennsylvania track spent the day in singing, talking and sightseeing. They tomorrow, although no official announce ported that several coke com panies will make strenuous efforts to resume this week. It is stated the Clar- issa and Nellie plants are partly in opera ton and that the Cora works of the New meyer 6 Son are in full resumption. It consists of only forty men. The Coal Brook plant of Mcclure continues in full blast. Coke is being shipped from the Adelaid plant of the Prick company, and seventy-fve deputies are on duty. The labor leaders state that they are fully for ClQeu TOT a COLGluudUC6 OI tue StTuRSlo and the strikers are receiving a liberal dis tribution of the defence fund. A confer ence of operators and miners to abridge the vexed difficulties is one of the probs- bilities of the week.
 It is the intention of the Prick company to resume work tomorrow and the several companies of militia will be planted about the works. Trouble is feared-if not from the men, from their wives. It is reported that the women will try their hands at the blacklegs tomorrow, as they say the sol diers will treat them more leniently than they did the men.
 PIrTsBURG, April 5.-The obsequies of anarchist Joseph Prick took place this af- ternoon in an undertaker's room, nearly 1000 people being present. Johann Most delivered the eulogy and took advantage of the occasion to make an appeal for an archy. The dead man was attired in black.

Around the foot of the bier hoated a car mine flag The rests beneath the cssket were draped with bunting of the same sanguine hue. Two bouquets of fresh field flowers lay on the coffin lid and over it hung two red garlands.

hon. j. n. y. LATRoBE DEAD.
Especial to the WoRLp.l


BALTIMORE, Nd, September r.
The community at large was shocked
to learn of the death of Hon. John FL.
B. Latrobe, which occurred Friday.
The deceased was one Of the most
prominent members of the Baltimore
bar, as well as one of the leading citi-
zens of Maryland. His fame was not
confined to the city but throughout the
State and his ability as an attorney
and man of letters was generally
recognized.
Although Of late years Mr.. Latrobe's
advanced age had compelled him to
live a somewhat retired life, still he
was singularly free from most Of the
infirmities that come with declining
years. and retained full possession Of
his faculties up to a short time before
his demise.
The deceased at the time of his
death had the reputation Of being the
oldest attorney in practice in Balti-
more. His Office was on st. Paul
street, and he was associated with his
son, Hon. F. C. Latrobe, ex-mayor Of
Baltimore, in the law firm bearing
their name
But Mr.. Latrobe did not confine his
talents to law practice. He was a
lover of literary work and much Of his
spare time was devoted to it. He was
the author Of several historical works
and few men were as well informed on
Maryland's early history.

III succumhs 10 the Elements After ~
Years Of Usefulness.
j. b. Thatcher an employee Of the
Pension Department, Washington,
called at The WORLD office this morn
ing and showed the editor two well
preserved apples that had been picked
from the famous Thatcher apple tree
only yesterday He will take them to
Washington and have exact impress
sions made in wax, 50 that they can
be retained as historical relics in the
family. They were the only two that
remained on the limbs and that ever
will be grown on this wonderfully pro-
ductive tree. This apple tree was
positively known to be 90 years old as
| it was watered and nourished from d
sprout by old John w. Thatcher,
whose remains now lie in the Old bury
ing ground, and many Of whose rela-
tives still survive him in Martinsburg
and elsewhere.
During severe wind storm last
June this historical tree was blown
down. At the time it was heavily
laden with young fruit and seemed
healthy looking enough to last out the
century. There is no record in ex-
istence Of where an appletree produced
more fruit than did this sprout that
grew up and thrived from a simple
seed accidentally droppedin theground.
There was no fruit trees within miles
Of it for years. Several years after it.
had matured J. w. Thatcher in one
year picked 115 bushels from its limbs,
and there are members Of the family
and neighbors still living who can
substantiate this fact.

STEAMBOATS, AND~RAIL-
WAY TRAINS.


EAsToN, Pa, September II. Louis
Remel, the imam from Peru, whowas
arrested here last night, charged with
attempting to blow up a Lehigh Valley
Railroad train with a dynamite cart
ridge, to-day made confession to
Superintendent Goodwin and other
Lehigh Valley officials, The train
wrecker's confession was briefly as fol-
lows: He said he came TO Bethlehem
August Is. He travelled over the Val
ley Road frequently, and planned to
have little fun by selecting Kennedy's
Station as the place. Cartridges were
purchased from the Hecla Powder
Company, Of Railway He walked
from Easton to Kennedyis placed tile
cartridges on the track and then await
ed developments. He saw the fireman
thrown out Of the cab window by the
explosion, and thought it was very
funny.
He then came to Easton. He had
no intention Of wrecking any particu
lar train, nor had he any ill-feeling
toward the Valley Company. Any
other road would have done just as
well, said he to Superintendent Good
win. He told the officers he would
have done it again had he not been
caught. The crime was committed in
New Jersey, and Kennel told the officers
he would go to that State without a
requisition. He was taken there this
afternoon and committed to Jail.
Remel has bad record. Hecaused
!, an explosion on the Daniel Drew On
the Hudson in 1879, and, after serving
a seven years sentence, wrecked q
Delaware and Hudson train ait Platts-
burg, killing several persons. He is
also alleged to be well known as a con,
fidence man.

[special Do TnE NonIn

CLARKsBURG, w. VA, September II.
THE encampment of the National
Guard Of West Virginia which began
at Gypsy Grove over week ago, broke
up in a row yesterday, caused by an
order given by the commanding gem
eral that Company K should remain
after the Brigade had left and clean
up the camp. The men claimed that
they did not enlist to do scavenger
work, and refused to obey the order.
Lieutenant Camden Sommers sided
with the men, and gave up his sword,
and the orderly sergeant Of the COM
pany expressed the views Of the men
to the general in terms far from polite.
There has been great dissatisfaction
among the rank and file during the
whole encampment, and it is not I'M
likely that several companies will dis
band upon reaching home, and that
this will be the last encampment.

WASHINGTON, September I2.--The
final act in the tragedy Of the killing
of the highwayman Rube Burrows, the
suicide of RUDE Smith, and the pep,j-
Tertiary life sentence Of Joe jackson,
his accomplices, was performed to-day
by the Postofiice Department officials
signing the warrants for the payment
Of the rewards offered by the govern
ment for the apprehension Of these
outlaws. For the arrest Of Burrows Il
reward Of 81 900 will be paid to Jeffer-
son D. Carter, of Myrtle Wood, Ala.
Under a strict construction Of the rules
of the department, which provide as an
essential condition Of the payment Of a
reward that the accused shall have
been convicted in United States
COURT this reward could not have
been paid but after thorough In
vestigation Of all the facts and circum-
stances Of the arrest, and the positive
proof in the possession Of the govern
ment that Burrows, Smith and Jack
son were guilty Of a number Of mnr-
ders, highway and mail robberies, and
in view Of the fact that Carter, in the
struggle which resulted in Burrows
death, received a wound which will
result in the amputation Of his right
arm, the Postmaster General has de-
.cided to make an exception in his case.
1t will not, however, be taken asa
precedent for future action. For the
arrest and conviction Of Smith re-
ward Of 81, 900 win be paid to Thomas

three Of His Family Have Taken Their
own Lives.
The information published in THE
WoRLp yesterday regarding the suicide
of Samuel Williamson was d complete
surprise TO many 81 our readers. The
particulars IN connection with the case
ARE peculiarly sad. Mr.. Williamson
has shown symptoms Of d weak mind
since hcs discovered the body Of his
sister, Belle Williamson, ID the garnet
Of her home with her throat cut from
eur to ear. This horrible discovery
preyed upon his mind for q long while,
but he seemed to>be gradually OUT
growing il. Last year all Of hishorscx
were afflicted with contagious dis
ease and II BECAME necessary to shoot
them toight in numben IN order
to prevent the disease from spreading
among the neighboring horses. This
had tendency to unbalance his mind
more completely.
Suicide seems 70 have been quite a
mania in hefamily as Williamson had
an uncle who suicided BY shooting
himself and freezing to death In q snow
bank, and an aunt who drowned her
self in & barrel Of rain water.
