1t Is Vulgar to Spread Abroad Facts Re-
lating Solely to Ourselves.
There is a woman, and her name is legion.
who is hopelessly given over to bestowing
unsolicited condolences. IL is unnecessary
to extend encouragement by assuming an
approachable attitude, for, with startling
promptitude she uses every available Great
ure as an instant depository into which she
pours the mingled veal aud woe of her
shallow experiences.
Like patent sieve, her busy tongue sits
through the mouth all that the ear takes
in. Scandal and news, praise and blame,
fact and fiction, are hurried on together,
leaving the medium empty as before, and
always greedily awaiting fresh material.
Curiously enough, her own interests often
suffer in this mad passion for telling.
While shamelessly exposing her own init
mate and private affairs, with much Of
self Mandatory nature. she reveals other in
cidents scarcely calculated to reflect credit
on their narrator.
AS a rule strangers are strongly at
tracted by the confidential woman. In the
first flush of acquaintance they are apt TO
mistake this indication of mental feeble
ness for courage and frankness of speech.
Decidedly fattered by the confiding tone
and words implying implicit trust, they
accept such impertinent thrusting forward
of personal matters rather as the compn-
mentary recognition Of certain noble quail
ties in themselves

had heard that Alexander had reported
that he (Harvey) had boasted that there
was $3.50 600 in hand in Tallahassee with
which to defeat Call, and he asked Alex
ander if he had circulated this story, add
ing that he did not propose to let him or

most simultaneously. Harvey fired, but
Clark struck his arm and the ball missed
Alexander Alexander turned and ran,
and Harvey fired second shot at him as
he passed through the door. Clark still

the door and fired a third shot at Alex
ander as the latter disappeared through
the back door of the office leading to the
barber shop.
Alexander says that his pistol caught in
the case as he was pulling it from his
pocket, which enabled Harvey to get the
drop on him. After that he did not dare
to fire for fear of hitting Clark, who was
with Harvey. Alexander I'M

THE COKE STRIKE.

MOUNT PLEASANT, Pa, April 11-Un-
easiDess prevails among the cokers today
The adoption by yesterdays convention of
the resolution to continue the strike has
had depressing effect The convention
is still in session, and it is hoped by the
strikers that a compromise will be brought
about yet. One thousand men are said to
be ready to return to work at Moorewood
next week. Those who have gone back to
work have been threatened with death and
dynamite if they do not stop working.
SCOTTDALE, Pa, April 1.-THE strikers
convention, after a two days session,
wound up here this evening. The strike
was discussed in all its features, and a
course of action for the future decided
upon. Mass meetings are to be held daily
at the principal points in the region, stir
ring addresses are to be delivered, and
strong efforts are to be made to bolster up
the dropping courage of the strikers On
the question of remaining out there was G.
unity of expression, though nearly every
delegate present hoped for an early con-
ference and satisfactory settlement.
The operators, however, will make no
oyertures for a conference, and the men
seemed determined not to, and long
fight is evidently ahead
HARRISBURG, Pa, April 1-Gen. Wiley
late this afternoon sent the following dis
patch TO Governor Pattison, from the
scene of the late coke strike trouble:
THE Eighteenth regiment moved out
promptly for Pittsburg at noon; decided
improvement at Morewood; civil force in =

A BOSTON MYSTERY.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, April 1-Edwi n
L. Schumway, aged 35, was found dead at
the foot of Clay hill, Westfield, about $50
this morning. There were no signs of
violence about the mans body, and ne ap-
parently had been dead twenty-four hours
There are many strange circumstances
connected with Schumway's death. On
Monday evening. the evening of the Bos-
ton aud Albany railway disaster, Schum-
way borrowed buggy to take two friends
somewhere He was one of the first ones
seen at the wreck, and was recognized by
many of the passengers. He stated at the
time that he was at the Riverside house
near by when he heard the crash. 1t is be-
lieved that the two friends who were with
Schumway that night were the train
wreckers, and that Schumway had
been talking a good deal about the
matter TO his friends. It is thought the
two men murdered Schumway through
fear of being exposed. Poison was prob
ably given to him. Harry Lamb, at the
Riverside house. states that Schumway
told him that he knew who the train
wreckers were, and through his statement
the police were to have arrested him this
morning. Some believe that Schumway
was aware of this, and 10 escape commit
ted suicide.

WASHINGTON. April 1l-Hon. w. l..
Wilson, of West Virginia, will leave Wash
ington on Monday on tour of the west,
for the purpose of organizing Democratic
clubs. His trip will extend to Tacoma,
Wash, and will occupy several months.
According to the official announcement,
he goes as the representative OF the Ma

which have perfected a plan of organiza-
tion which has not met the approval of
members of the national aud congressional
committees.
The plan is now being put in operation
successfully, and, long before the fall cam
paign opens, it is expected that there will
be Democratic club in every voting pre-

Ell RENO. Ok, April 11-ESpeciaL] i
The territorial court for Canadian county
has up the case of George W. Casey,
Frank Casey and Sherman Casey, indict-
last October in this county. Maj. E. j..
Simpson, the county attorney, w. K.
Carswell and Judge G.. L. Severy, the
former county attorney, are conducting
the prosecution, and Maj. w. r Kirk
patrick and Judge G. O. Blake, of this
place, both of whom are well known In
Kansas, and r. c. Palmer. of the King
fisher bar, represent the defendants Every
inch of the ground is closely contested on
both sides. and it will take week or ten
days to close the case. There are about
100 witnesses in the case. Judge A. j.
Seay holds everything steady in his usual
quiet and determined way. The defend
ants have hitherto had a good reputation,
and all gave bond and have behaved them
selves well since their arrest. q. w. Casey,
father of the trio Of defendants. used TO
live at Fort Arbuckle. in the Chickasaw
nation, where his credit in every way was
the very best. An order from him was
honored TO any amount at the village store
of Capt Thomas Grant. Joseph Pickens
was jointly indicted with the Caseys for
this murder, but he died before the trial
came up.
John Webber was killed by the same
parties who murdered Schweitzer. but no
one is on trial for the murder The proof
in this case is wholly circumstantial, and
the result is doubtful. 1t is the theory of
the prosecution that the killing was done
by the Caseys and Rickens on account of
former contest between the senior Casey
and Harry Schweitzer, which had been de-
cided in favor of Schweitzer, the contest
ant, against Casey, who was the entryman.
The defense have not announced their
theory OF the case yet, but they are conf
dent they have a correct one.
The court adjourned at noon today until
Monday noon, and high compliment was
paid the jury by the unanimous consent
for the jury to separate and go home until
Monday.
A. NJ. Hallowell, from Northern Kansas,
was admitted TO practice in this court.
Hon. NJ. Jones, speaker pro tenn of the
legislature, came in today from Oklahoma
City.
