Refuse to Fay Fines ana want , heir
Company Disbanded.
PARhEnsBuHe, w. Va, Dec. 90. AT
the last meeting of Company E, Spill
man rifles, of West Virginia National
guards, spirited discussion arose over
the payment of fines which had been
imposed upon the boys by Capt. Morri-
son for absenteeism and other derelic-
tions of duty. Capt Morrison had en-
deavored in every mild way to collect
the fines, which had been legally i'm
posed, but the boys resisted payment
They claimed to be tired of being militia
men, and wanted the company dis
banded. The officers thought differently,
and put on fine for every absence when
duty called. At the meeting the alter
native was given of paying the fines or
having them collected by the sheriff.
The boys refused to pay a cent. SO the
fines will be certified TO headquarters
and then sent to the sheriff for collec-
ton. The boys are all socially promi-
nent and do not like soldiers hard
ships. They would give good deal to
have the company disbanded.

TWO ARE DEAD,
And Two Others Are in a Dying
Condition.
-Four Men Fight to the Bitter End al
Walton, KY,
And Their Savage Rage Is Now Appeased-
They Were Railroad Men and Cele-
brateG Pay Day by Getting on
spree, Ending in the Tragedy.

CINCINNATI, Dec. 2O.-Two dead and
two dying is the result of carnival OF
crime which took place at Walton, KY,
early Saturday morning. A bloody
fight began, which continued all night,
and was taken part in by gang OF
laborers employed at'Hog Run tunnel
on the L. & N. railroad
The trouble originated with four col
tored men-Wm. jackson, VIM Grimes,
Dudley Warner and an unknown who
answered TO the nickname of 'Grimy. y
Several days ago pay car passed
through the place, and all of them
were paid their wages. They celebrat-
ed the event by getting on spree,
which, lasting for three days, culminat.
ed in an awful tragedy.
On Friday night "Grimy," who was a
comparative stranger, accused Jackson
of having stolen some money from him.
jackson denied the charge and called
4'Grimy" thief. The two men began
to fight, and, drawing razor Jackson
cut .'Grimy" across the face. The other
two men took hand, and for nearly ar
hour clubs, knives and stones were
used, the noise of the conflict attracting
other laborers, who joined in the battle
Distress signals were sent to Zion sta
ton, but no one at that village cared tc
undertake the quelling of the murder
Gus mob, which continued the riot unit
nearly morning. Then an ominou:
silence took the place of oaths, yell:
and blows.
Early Saturday morning posse o.
workmen at the tunnel started in the
direction of the creek where the mol
had been heard. After a tramp of near
" mile toward the south they came
upon spectacle that chilled the blood
in their veins. Lying in ravine were
the bodies of four men. jackson was
dead, his sightless eyes staring at the
sky. Warner died few minutes after
being found. The other two men are
being cared for, but they are cut tc
pieces and their lives are despaired Of
The quadruple tragedy is the climax tc
a series of crimes in that section of the
country, which is about thirty mile:
from this city. There is intense ex
element about the scene of the muir

WILL HOLD OUR GOLD.

secretary Foster Determined to Maintain
the Reserve and WIN sell Bonds h Nee
essary.
WASHINGTON, Dec 20.-Secretary of
the Treasury Charles Foster expressed
himself freely to reporter respecting
the alarm felt in financial circles over
anticipated large gold exports He
said he looked upon the situation not
simply as spectator awaiting his re-
tirement from office.
Il am secretary of the treasury he
said, land will not be relieved until the
4th of March next Ny duty will be
performed in the interest of the public
welfare as vigorously as If my time
were not soon to end Every resource
at my command will be awaited of to
commanded by law"
''How about the reserve in the treas
ury?"
NO one can obtain gold from the
treasury without paying money for it,
and with the money thus received
can recoup the gold. There is also the
right vested in the secretary of the
treasury to sell bends, if necessary. to
maintain the gold reserve. The treas
ury situation as to the cash balance is
such as to permit the free use of cash
received for gold to again obtain the
gold"
"Will the gold reserve be main
tained?"
1T will be-"
This was stated with the utmost en-
phasis. II firmly believe that with the
resources at the command of the de-
partment l shall not be seriously en-
barrassed in more than maintaining it
recommended to congress in my an
nual report that the reserve be increased
from 500, 900, 900 to s1a5, 900, 600"
As the secretary's report was pre-
pared before the present abnormal
drain of gold to Europe started. Secre-
tary Foster reasonably claimed credit
for fully anticipating the present pres
sure, and taxing all precautions tc
meet It.
