MRS. MARTELLS'S BURGLARS,
Police Search vainIy, but II Was
n Terrible Experience.

When Mrs. Martells discove,kd things
mat led her to believe her home, at 100
East Forty-irst street. was infested by
burglars last night. she did not hunt
them up and hold them until the police
came. That is the latest way of deal
Ing with the knights Of the Jimmy, but
Mrs. Martells was too scared to think
OF It. She felt sure that the next mo-
ment a determined robber would roughly
put a chloroform-soaked handkerchief TO
her nostrils, and that all would be over.
There was the rear window on the first
noor wide open. and an odor, or a mys-
terious silence. or something, said Bur
awful. and Mrs. Marteils would have
screamed II she could have done so. She
found her way to the street somehow,
and startled Patrolmen Thomas Rey-
nolds and Rudolph Weise. noted burglar
experts. by wildly announcing the facts
in the case.
An investigation OF the premises fol-
lowed. Mrs. Martells wisely allowing the
policemen to take the first chance OF
being slaughtered. No burglars were
found; IN, fact, the expert gave It as
their opinion that II burglars thought OF
"cracking' the place they had not then
left the Bowery to do the Job. Never
theless, Mrs. Martells did not sleep last
night. n she knows she had a narrow
ESCAPE.

COAL FAMINE IN CHICAGO.
Steamers May Have to stop Rum
ming and Factories Badly OF.
(By Associated Press.)

(By Associated Press.)
CHICAGO, Tune 6-Unless large ship
ments Of coa are Immediately made to
his port by rail. vessel men declare that
the next two or three days will witness
the tying up Of many steamers. The
supply Of larger vessels will be exhausted
In two days. Added to the general ina
bility of the steamboat companies to get
all the coal they want, is the fact that
the railroads over which 1t Is consigned
seize 1t and appropriate 1t to their W
use.
The only cours the steamship COM
panies have Is to compel the railroad to
pay for the coal.
Several large concerns in this city are
also sufferers from this cause. Lake Su-
perior ports are said to be wholly with
out coal. Many steamers have made ex-
periments with wood and slabs for fuel.
and others have made a trial of anthra-
cite coal. The wood and slabs have been
thrown aside, and II Is said that many
of the boats would be unable to keep
their. boilers not with the anthracite
article.
The owners Of sailing vessels find them
selves placed on equality with the great
steamers. There never was a time in
the history Of the city when bitumlnous
coal was so scare. Both dealers and
consumers believe that the worst effects
of the famine have not yet been expe-
rienced. The supply on hand will be ex-
hausted before any more arrives, and II
Is said that many factories and other
places of business will be compelled to
ghut down.

1t is doubtful II so much Interest has
ever before been taken In the Derby.
There were several causes for this state
Of affairs. In the first place, many thou

British Premier. He had married the
richest woman in England. he had be-

the last honor mentioned was greater
than the two former ones.
Thus II was that the usual trains at
London Bridge and Victoria station, run
every five minutes were packed to the
utmost with the usual crowd OF race
goers, augmented by many people who
had never before venturcd 10 Epson, but
who went there to-day In order to see

gather on Epson Downs early In the
day and dc not leave until late In the
afternoon. No such crowds are ever
witnessed in this country.
The House OF Commons annually ad-

pressure Of business compelled the House

STRIKERS NOT DEF|EO.
Tube Works at MoKeesport Likely
to Be Long Closed.
Trouble Will Follow Any Attempt
to Put In New Men.
All Information Refused at the COM

(By Associated Prsss,)

MCKEESPORT. Pa, June 6.-No at
tempt has been made to start UP the
National Tube Works to-day. The strik-
ers are swarming around the works and
the depots. Every point Is being watched
by them and trouble will surely follow
any attempt to Introduce new workmen
or deputies.
The Eastern deputies expected by river
or train at daybreak did not put in an
appearance. When the first train ar
rived from Braddock there was a large
crowd at the station to meet the officers
and when 1t was found they were not on
board the strikers dispersed and went
to the mill entrances.
The Company's announcement, which
was posted last night, and torn down
by the mob, calls for all employees, who
desire work at the rate in force May IA.
1894, to apply before Z o'clock Thursday
morning, June Z. Up to date not a man
has applied for work, and not n single
piece of machinery in the immense mill
is being operated.
1t is said the Company will not try
to resume for the present. preferring
to wait until the strikers n eer to
return. For the first time in many
months the river pumps are at a stand
still and all the fires have been drawn.
1t looks as though the works were to
be shut down indefinitely.

Tube Works Company, in the Havemeyer
