made up Of two trailers and the grip car.
The engine struck the latter in the middle
and the fifteen occupants were hurled
through the air.
The greatest confusion was in the closed

shock was felt, they made mad rush for

ANOTHER BIG STORM
Predicted for This Week by Weather
Prophet Foster.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo, March 2S.-Prof Fos-
ter makes the following weather predic-
tions My last letter gave dates and de-
tailed forecasts of the storm wave to cross
the continent from March 80 to April 3.
The next will also be an important disturb
ance, both as to its force and the large
amount of rainfall that will accompany it.
II will be due to leave the Pacific coast
about April 4, cross the Rocky-Allegheny
valley from 5th to 9TH and reach the Atlan-
tic coast about the Sth. This storm will be
at its greatest force about the time 1t
reaches the Mississippi river, and will cause
dangerous gales on the lakes in Michigan
PENNSYLVANIA and New York about the
9TH. Heavy rains may be expected IN the
Sou .hern States and in the country south
east of the, great lakes, between them and
the Atlantic coast. The center of the low
barometer of this disturbance is expected
to keep well to the north, and the cool wave
and frosts following it will not damage
vegetation south of the fortieth degree Of
north latitude.

THE COKE STRIKE.
The Situation Up to Date-The Operators
Side Not so Rosy


PITTsBURG, PA, March 2S.-The opera
tors who are struggling TO resume their
coke plants in the Connellsville region do
not seem to have things their own way so
much as first reports would indicate. OFF,
GERS of the great Frick Company state that
some 500 men are at work in the region eX-
elusive oil the non-union Rainey plants,
while President Rae says no more
than 200 strikers have gone back.
AS there are between $1,000 and
$1,000 strikers, the desertions are certainly
not so remarkably large up to this writing,
considering that many are suffering great
lv from necessities of life 1t is said that
but so, 900 relief money has been distribu
ted among the strikers. This is at the rate
of but dollar and a half per man, not to
mention the rest of the family, and is woe
fully insufficient. AS the fight is now for
an eight-hour day. in addition to the other
demands their call for assistance are made
on the Knights of Labor and American
Federation of Labor will likely meet with
favorable response from those parent or
CARNATIONS.
Two new plants are reported in active
operation tonight, the Bradford and
Trotter. of the r. c.. Frick Company, max
ing II in all. Some excitement was
caused to-day by the announcement that
Sheriff Clawson had deputized the State
militia to guard the Moorewood plant, but
it was learned tonight he merely swore
in 80 members as deputies TO himself.
A doughty striker armed with double
barrelled shot gun, cleaned out the yards
at Leisenring No 3 to-day, causing par
tial suspension. He then took to the woods
with a Sheriff's posse at his heels, since
which time neither party has been heard
from.
A general mass meeting called at
Scottdale to-day, gathered fully 1000 men
to an open air meeting this afternoon.
Speeches in all sorts Of tongues were made
by the leaders, their language, however,
being even tempered and confident. Resolu-
tions were unanimously passed to stay out
until the grass grows over the ovens unless
their demands are conceded.

TWENTY YEARS IN EXILE.
One of Thousand who Worked in Chains
in the Mines of Siberia.

BALTIMORE, March 2s.-One of the in
mates of the Mount Hope Retreat is t'a-
ther Auatolus, Catholic priest. His life
has been remarkable for the suffering he
has endured. For 20 years he was an exile
in Siberia He is a Pole and member of
the Order of ST Frances.
In his story Father Anatolus says:
when the Polish insurrection broke out
in 1863 | had not long been ordained
priest. For my zeal in this uprising |
was seized by the Russian authorities,
Judged by a military court and con-
demned to death In the Province Of
Naluvnia they kept me prisoner from
1863 TO 1865 When the revolution had been
stamped out the Emperor, Alexander H..
mitigated my sentence, and the police were
ordered to send me to Siberia for twenty
years. In the prison with me was another
priest, who, like myself was member OF
the Order of st. Francis. Our religious
habits were torn from our persons and on
December ,, 1865. we started for Siberia
with other prisoners, accompanied by 20
armed mon on foot and II on horseback
The Journey occupied one year and half.
Most of the distance we were obliged TO
walk Hardly any time was given for rest
"Oue year and "a half after we started
we arrived at the silver mines in chain OF
mountains in Eastern Siberia When we
arrived there we found that l62 priests had
preceded us and had been condemned, as
we were. TO work in the chains for twenty
wears. One thousand priests were exiled
about the same time that | was sentenced,
and nearly all, | think, were condemned to
hard labor in different parts of Siberia
Five bishops were also banished 10 the
same wild country, but were not obliged
10 labor One of them was the bishop OF
the diocese in which | was priest. During
the wears labored in chains twenty priests
out of the l64 died. Most Of the deaths
were the result of beatings and blows by
the Russian officials. In winter we worked
four hours, in summer six We were never
relieved of our chains. The chains Of some
of the prisoners weighed IS pounds.
MANY times we were enabled to say
mass secretly in our rooms, without the
vestments, Of course. For saying mass
once a keeper struck me on the cheek with
the heavy metallic keys he held in his
hands, knocking out number OF my teeth.
! begged the man, in the excitement OF the
moment, TO kill me at once. For good
part of the brutal treatment we received in
our exile blame the priests of the Greek
Church, whose hatred toward US was Bit
ter. When my 20 years expired returned
from Siberia, and, obtaining my passport,
went 10 one Of the IA houses Of our order in
Galicia"
Father Anatolus came 10 the United
States about two years ago, and for time
assisted at church in Wisconsin.

cept with those who supply fuel, and they
cannot meet the demand. Fortunately the
weather is mild, otherwise there would be
much suffering among the needy. Trains
on both railroads are snow bound, and ex-

The swath Cut by the Grip.

CHICAGO, March 2S. Cloudy weather

ent month. Officials of the Department Of
Health say that the death rate forthe pres
ent week is unprecedented. The number
of deaths the first of March, compared with
the number for corresponding period in
1890. illustrates the present condition Of
things very clearly. The following is
made up by weeks:
