BURNING UNDER THEM

 Through the Town from Which Gas and
 Vopors Are Escaping-MIIlions of Dol

 HONEY BROOK, Pa. March 1S.-The Honey Brook mine, operated by the Lehigh X Wilkesbarre Coal company is on fire again. It is several months since fire was discovered in this mine. It was said sev- eral times that the fire was out. At no time, however, was it thought to be of any consequence.
 The present outbreak shows that it is alarmingly extensive. The surface near the stripping is so hot that water flowing over it is immediately dried up. Work on the strippinys will soon have to be aband oned.
 Grave apprehension is felt for the sur rounding mines Within radius of three miles tine veins known as the Wharton, Suck Mountain and Mammouth are worked by different companies. Should the tire spread to any of these the loss will be immense
 Millions of dollars worth of coal property is imperiled. The peculiarity of the fire is that It's origin is mystery. It burned so rapidly at first that the timbers supporti ng the slope gave way, closing that opening before an investigation could be made Every effort made since then to gain access to the mine has been entirely without sue cess.
 The village of Honey Brook, which is di- rectiy over the mine, is menaced by a col lapse of the earth. Pastures run through tEe toNn They have been caused by a settl~i..tnt of the earth after the closing of the sipp2.

TO PREVENT 4 BOYCOTT
Ann Arbor Officials Get Out
 an Injunction.
CHIEF ARTHUR SUED FOR DAMAGES

The Fight Now on Between the Toledo
 Ann ArbOr Road and Its Engineers BO-
 coming More Serious Engineers, on
 Other Roads Threaten to StrIke-Am
 Roads Accept Freight.
 TOLEDO, March 19-After long days of arbitration for the adjustment of the differ ences between the management of the Ann Arbor railroad and the Brotherhood of En- gineers and Bremen, the strike continues The situation now is one of great gravity.
 The powers of the United States Court have again been called into exercise in the trouble
 At Detroit Judge Taft, on the application of II. w. Ashley, manager of the Ann Ar Dor road, granted a temporary injunction restraining Chiefs Arthur ana Sergeant from ordering general strike of railroad employees, or in any way melting a boycott against the Ann Arbor.
 This order has been served on the Broth erhood leaders, and created no small sur prise among the strikers. It is made re- turnablr on March ?, when Arthur and Sergeant will be obliged to appear before the Federal Court in this city and show cause why they should not be so restrained permanently.
 X second surprise was sprung upon Chief Arthur when he was served with the papers in suit filed by the Ann Arbor company, wherein it seeks to recover in the sum of $500, 900 damages alleged to have been sustained by certain alleged acts of his. When seen Chief Arthur had only this to say:
 Il propose to obey the laws"
 The commercial feature of the strike is unchanged. Freight was offered by the Ann Arbor to the Pennsylvania and Wheel ing and Erie roads, the former taking 65 cars without any objection on the part of It's employees.
 The Wheeling has not yet moved any of it's consignment, and it is reported that the engineers on that road will refuse to han dle it.
 Chiefs Arthur and Sergeant have left the city, leaving the management of the strike ill the hands of a local committee.
 The officials of the Ann Arbor are assum- ing the aggressive and the other roads are in sympathy with them. It is reasonable to suppose that Toledo's 21 roads will ex- perience great trouble within the next five days
 The situation is critical for railroad men, as a general Worlds Fair strike all over the country may ensue.

MYSTERY NOT CLEARED.
The Grouse Murder Inquest Throws No
 Light the Problem.

FoRT PLAIN, N. Y., March 1S.-After examining two important witnesses at the inquest in the Grouse murder case Coroner Jackson adjourned the investigation until March 23, when, 1t is thought, Mrs. Grouse will be we'll enough to testify.
 Frank Marsh, who was arrested a week ago charged with the crime, and who was discharged by Justice Fixes, was examined. He was sober and told straightforward story, which satisfied the jury that he was not connected in any manner with the murder &
 Several persons who had been employed at the Grouse farm testified that MT. and Mrs. Grouse frequently quarreled.
 Mrs. Flagg, a neighbor, to whose house Mrs. Grouse went immediately after her husband was murdered, testified that she considered Mrs. Crouses behavior that night as strange, as she did not exhibit any grief and talked but little about the crime. She simply wanted the news carried to Fort Plain.
 Witness did not think that Mrs. Grouse was insane last night, and never had con Sidered her SO.
 The mystery surrounding the case is as dense as ever, and public opinion is about equally divided as to the guilt or inno- cence of Mrs. Grouse.
 The bottle of ink found in the tracks leading from the house, supposed to have been made by the fleeing murderer, gives rise to the theory that 1t was his intention to force Grouse to sign notes but frus- trated his own plans by committing the murder
 This may explain why he fled without piundering the house.

Canadians Fooled by a Yankee.

MONTREAL, March 1S.-A smart Yankee speculator has just played sharp trick on the Canadian firms dealing in hair cloth. He came over to St. Catherines, Ont, and purchased the stock aud output for some weeks to come of the only mill in the Do minion engaged in the manufacture of hail cloth. He then bought up all the hair cloth in Toronto, Hamilton and Montreal some of the dealers selling in excess of their stock for future delivery. When these dealers placed their orders with the mill they were informed that the output was sold, and that the price had gone up 9 per cent, so they had to settle with the specu lator at the difference

Excerpts From the Columns of Our Daily
 Exchanges.

Two cases of triplets in this state were reported yesterday. The first case occurred in Roxbury and is a remark. able one. Henry Thinkley, the father, was but 16 years old and his bride, Lizzie Bishop, 12, when they were married. Last Sunday night two girls and a boy were born to them. The weight of the girls is eight pounds each, and that of the boy seven and one-half pounds. The wife of Selectman John T. Pohlman of New Haven gave birth to three girls yesterday. Fears for her recovery are entertained.
