Illinois Miners Ugly.

PAHA, ILL.,. May 2.-Great excitement
has been caused by the report that coal
miners from Springfield are coming
here to take out the. miners and stop
work. The strikers have reached Tay-
lorville, sixteen miles northwest of here,
and taken possession of a freight train.
The trainmas:er ordered the train to
siding. The strikers started for a water
tank, intending to board passenger
train. The passenger train, under
orders, did not stop for water, and the
strikers were again baffied. Mayor
Hayward has ordered the saloons closed
and large force of deputy policemen
have been sworn in and armed. The
miners here have only had about half
time the past winter, ard now that they
have chance say they propose to work
if they have to spin blood to do so.

It was an unusual noise and yet an

the crowd from yelling for speech,

which the rejoicers returned to head
quarters voiceless and almost devoid of
surplus effervescence.

Nearly 1000 Said to Be Due to Column
bisna County, Ohio.
EAST LIVERPOOL, O., May S.-Expert
John SAINT, who has been auditing the
books of Treasurer John r. Martin for
week past, has made the discovery
that $1,000 of the shortage had been
handed down by ex-Treasurer Jesse
Kapner when he turned over the office
to Martin four years ago. Kapner was
called to New Lisbon to explain the
matter and will make good the ansount
missing. Kapner says the mistake was
made in the auditors office. He says
the auditor had him credited with over
81, 900 of school orders which had been
issued, which were not cashed until
after Martin took charge. Ex-Auditor
Garrignes of Salem, during whose term
the alleged mistake was made, has been
summoned by the commissioners to ex-
plain the matter.

on either side of platform in the lower
corner of the new camp, and few
minutes later he was addressing an
audience of limited portions of his fol-
lowers and such curious men and women
as are willing to pay 10 cents to come
and see what was going on. Co1ey
said he was we'll satisfied with what
had transpired during the day. He be-
lieved the fact that the common peo-
pie represented by his followers had
been denied the right to peaceably as

would be heralded throughout the land
and would result in bringing thousands
of unemployed to the city.

THE BOY TOLD ALL
Mortimer Puts the Blame for Flem-
ing's Murder on Field.
IT IS A SHOCKING STORY
Livingston Excited Over the Latest Rev.
Citations in the Mysterious Tragedy
Strong Feeling Against Field.

LIVINGSTON, Mont, May THE most
thrilling chapter in the Fleming murder
case came to light yesterday, so goes
the popular rumor on the street at this
hour. Although the county attorney
will not talk, there is not the slightest
doubt that William Mortimer, held as
accomplice of Field, has made a com.
plete and circumstantial confession to
the officers and that his story places tn
guilt of Fleming's awful murder upon
Robert Field. Mortimer says he was
aware of the assassin's intention and all
the facts leading to the crime, but that
he had no actual hand in the killing.
Should the confession prove true, as it
is universally believed it will, Field is
one of the most unfeeling and coldly
cruel human butchers that has ever APP
peared in this state or any other. Jack
the Ripper might 60 to school to him.
Lying on his death bed, struck down
by a savage blow from an axe, and shot
through and through by the murderous
bullet, Fleming va, constantly attended
by Field, who sat by his side, calmly
watching the life current ehb away and
at tie last gasp holding the hand of the
man whose soul be is charged with hav-
ing sent to eternity. Then after the
death he came, calmly discussing with
the surgeon In attendance the character
of the wound and the probable direction
of the ball. Where is there a case like
it in criminal history or to match it in
fction2
This morning the county attorney
fled an information in the district
court before Judge Henry charging
Robert Field with the murder. Field
in court then stated his true name is
Robert A. Anderson. 1t is sta ed that
he boasts be is the son of the famous
Missouri desperate, Anderson Field.
Anderson was given until tomorrow to
plead and Mr.. Wilson was appointed by
the court to conduct his defense. He
was bold and staggering In m inner.
Field came here from Wyoming some
years ago and is known in Castle. He
is rather slight and is about % years Of
age.
After Fields arraignment the county
attorney swore out complaint against
R. v. stumbo for perjury in swearing
before the coroner's inquest that Field
was 10 his house before and at the
time of the killing. Bail was fixed at
$4,000 and was furnished by John n.
King. There 10 a strong feeling here
and there has been some talk of lynch.
ing, but 1t is hoped that there will be
no need for popular vindication. 1t is
not believed that proceedings will be
taken against Mortimer.

SPRINGFIELD. Mass, May 3-One of

Mr.. Spencer forgot, in his anxiety to

drawers unlocked.
During the few minutes Mr.. Spencer

he could he sauntered outside the door
and waited for his pal to cease talking
to the cashier. Then he entered the
carriage and both, after tipping their
hats to the cashier, drove rapidly
away,
The old man upon returning to the
building at arst did not notice anything
wrong. 1t was not until he approached
the money drawer to look over his
cash that he discovered the robbery.
He then rushed to the door, with the
warning cry Of stop thief on his lips,
but discovered thai the men had made
good use of their time and made their
escape. After careful examination
it was found that about 1890 was
taken from the bank.

soils and listening curiously. Senators
Henderson and Frye, with their wives,
were in handsome carrirges. Senator
Coke and Representative Kilgore of
Texas, stood wedged in the populace,
and the long grey beard of Senator
Dolph of Oregon showed conspicuously.
Representative Dolly was at the head
of another group of copgressmen. Mrs.
Anna L. Diggs of Kansas, the populist
speaker, stood with her baby in her
arms.
The speech of Carl Brown was
strange mixture of theology and finance.
He acknowledged that he was crank.
because it took crank TO move any
thing, he said. The present condition
of the country he declared to be full
fillment of the revelation of St. John.
The horns of the beast were the seven
conspiracies against the money of the
people; the ten horns were ten mon
opolies, foremost among them the
sugar trust. Grover Cleveland had
called an extra session of congress, and
by the aid of "that grey headed rat
of Ohio" John Sherman, had been able
to heal the wounds Of the seventh head
by repeating the silver purchasing
bill.
= When Coxey scrambled up on the
wagon, he waved his hat to each quar-
ter of the compass. He launched forth
into his description of millions of starv-
ing unemployed, shouting:
"We will stay here all summer, until
congress takes action on these bills.
1 believe they will be passed in two
weeks. You only have to pick up the
papers to see what desperate straits
these men are coming to to get to
Washington. Look at the trains that
have been seized. l do not believe in
lawlessness. 1t makes no difference If
they DO not get here Tuesday. We will
go to the capitol and make the demand
and come here to the camp and wait.
The revolutionary spirit of '76 is max
ing the merry-makers tremble now.
Congress takes two years te vote on
anything If left to itself. Thenty mil
lions of people are starving and cannot
wait two years to eat. Four million
g. NJ he hat ha
Cleveland has cost this country. Sher.
man and Tom Reed helped him, so the
republicans have not got horse on the
democrats. If congress knows what
the people need and does not give it.
congress is dishonest. We propose to
give the benefit of the doubt and show
the way ont of the muddle."
In this strain Coxey talked half an
hour, bare headed, under the hot sun,
explaining his bill for good roads, plenty
of money and it's companion.piece, uni
yersal luxury through pon-interest
bearing bonds. Every thrust at the
plutocrats was accentuated by the clang
of bell, and the crowd which listened
was constantly changed but altogether
an attentive one. Meantime the men
inside the canvass had been partaking
of q miserable meal. The gate re-
ceipts for the day are said to be only
$40. Coxey declares his men will
march to the capitol, hold great
mass meeting on the steps to present
its bills and then return to wait for
their passage.
