apparently quietude has relgned a.
day in the mining regions to-day, sucn
is not the case, and reports from tnero
saw that the excitement is at fever
heat. and the situation is growing more
serious hourly. The miners are al
still out on the strike which was lnau-
gurated yesterday. They are reporseo
as drinking heavily, and a clash pc
tween the state militia and miners now
seems unavoidable.
Considerable excitement prevalleu-
here to-day when Capt. Miller, OF 20.
D, received orders from Adjt- John a.
Fite to hold his company in readiness
and be prepared to go to Coal Creek at
a moments notice. The companies at
Chattanooga and elsewhere also re-
ceived the same orders. The soldiers
here held meeting tonight, and are
prepared to leave at once when or
dered.
A report received here tonight says
that Monroe, the leader of last years
riots, and who is now under seven
years. sentence for participating in the
same, has been quietly circulating
among the miners for the past few
DAYS and reminding hatred for the SOL
diers and convicts in their breasts At

have been upon friendly terms with
the soldiers until the trouble this week
came up, and then all speaking
stopped.
Mrs Keller Anderson and daughter
arrived in Knoxville this morning from
Coal Creek, where they had been stay
ing up to the time of the present trou--

escorted TO the train by body Of mill
tia, but it is not known whether they
were sent away from the fort on &C
count of impending trouble c. not.
The body of Dick DrumM ond. the
man who was ,lynched, was brought to-
Knoxville to-day. Itnow looks like an
innocent man was lynched at Brice-
vile yesterday morning, if the state
ments of w. X. Landrum, Mrs. Lam
drum and man named Peek are true.
Mrs. Landrum positively swears that
the man lynched and who
boarded at her house was in his room.
from o'clock of the night Laugherty
was murdered until breakfast time tho
next morning. Peek, who is also a,
boarder in the house, is positive of the.
same thing, and Landrum. while not

THE DoELzB HABEAs CORPUS.
W. 8. Hilies Takes the Case In Hand--Bai
Reduced to $4,000 Under Instruction.
from Chief Justice Lore.

W. 8. Hiiies Takes the Case in Hand--ISail
Reduced to $4,000 Under Instructions
from Chief Justice Lore.
The Doelze habeas corpus case was given
a special hearing before Chief Justice Lore
in the county court room Friday evening.
This is the case in which Herbert III. Ward,
attorney for Gustav Reinke obtained a
writ of capias from Prothonotary Peter A.
Horty, and in default of bail set at $4,000
the defendant was taken by the sheriff to
New Castle Jail.
While the suit is o civil one, damages
being laid for So, 600, it is understood that
the basis for the action is the charge of
assault by the defendant on the plaintiff
wife.
The position of Mr.. Hilles Friday night
before the Chief Justice was simply to re-
quest that the bail, which, in his opinion,
is excessive, be reduced to reasonable
amount. He asserted that the bail is $4,000
while the defendant is not worth SO.
A great number of witnesses, male and
female, were heard in their almost inter
| minable story. Most of them were Ger
mans Ex-Policeman Harry Schoor acted
as interpreter. Gustav Reinke had dis
covered the fact of undue intimacy be-
| tween the defendant and his wife. Other
witnesses appeared to corroborate the hus
bands assertions. Finally Mrs. Reinke's
statements added still more to strengthen
| the story.
Following a conference between counsel
the court ordered Doelze held in S2,50(
bail. He was allowed to leave on his OWL
recognizance.

BOTH MADE THEIR WILLS.

But the Instruments We're Executed
Under Most Extraordinary Circum-
stances.
1t is probable that no two wills in
Delaware were ever executed under
more painful aud extraordinary circum-
stances than those of John Rede and
Dimzenzo Dinatale at the Delaware
Hospital, Thursday afternoon. Both
men are Italians who were terribly in
iured in an explosion at Wooddale
quarries, Thursday of last week, which
deprived them not only af their vision
but their hands as well, those members
having been blown away. They were
also afflicted with other bodily injuries,
Both men are doing as well as could be
expected, but for fear of death both ex-
pressed desire to make wills.
A notary was summoned and the in
struments already drawn up were
handed to the men to sign. They were
propped up in bed, and taking the pen
between their teeth the Italians made
their marks. AS the testators were to-
tally blind the pen had to be guided by
the notary.
