MINING RATE MAY BE REDUCED.
Railroad Coal Operators Association
Wants 10 Break Its Contract.

PITTSBURG, Nov. 5.-The Railroad Coal
Operators Association will try to break the
mining rate in this district. District Presi-
dent Cairns to-day received letter from
the operators, signed by Secretary j. M.
Askins, notifying him that. owing to the
competition of operators who are working
below the scale rate the association will
be compelled TO take the necessary steps
to annul the contract, unless the companies
form scale rates. The miners officials say
that the law is on their side, and should
the association wish to break away, it will
have TO be proven before an arbitration
board that the scale rate is not being gen.
orally observed in the district. This, Presi-
dent Cairns says. cannot be shown. Work
has been generally suspended in the river
district, as all boats are loaded, and iffteen
million bushels of coal are awaiting a rise
in the river for shipment 10 Southern ports.
There is great destitution among the river

CHILDREN MURDERED
BOY AND GIRL KILLED AND THE
BODIES HID IN A BRUSH PILE.
and the Latter Beheaded and Dis
embOwled-YoungM Man Arrested.

PAULDING. o., Nov. 5.-A horrible
murder was discovered here this morning.
Two children, girl and boy, of Samuel
Good, living three miles north of town,
were found in brush pile murdered, and
attempt had been made TO burn the bodies.
The girl, aged six, was decapitated and dis
emboweled, and the boys throat was cut
from ear TO ear and his head nearly severed
from his body. The boy was nine years old.
The children left homl at 10 o'clock a. m.
yesterday. AT p. m. a searching party was
organized and searched all night and at 3
O'Clock this morning the bodies were found.
They presented a most horrible spectacle.
The news of the crime spread rapidly and
soon hundreds of people were on the scene.
Sheriff Staley was among the number and
arrested Charley Hart, neighbor boy who
was at once suspected, and the people of
the neighborhood are firm in their convic-
ton of his guilt Young Hart says he can
not read or write and does not know his
age. and is very nervous. When accused Of
the crime he denied it in a nervous way.
The bodies were found within three rods
of young Harts home and about half a
mile from the home of the children. The
little boys boots were found i'm the grass
short distance from the bodies. Their
hands were tied together with a piece OF
tarred rope attached to billet of wood re-
sembling a rough-hewn pump handle. 1t is
thought this will furnish a definite clew If
the boy is guilty. One OF the grounds OF
suspicion is that when the. bodies were
found the boy discharged his gun and ran
to his home in an excited manner He was
one OF the searching party and was not far
distant when the children were found.
AS soon as Hart was taken to Jail a
mob of 800 to 500 organized to hang the
prisoner at once, but dissuaded on
pleas that the chances were largely i'm
favor Of the boys innocence, and that the
guilty person was still at large. 1t was
evident that this argument would hold the
crowd off only till night came on, and the
sheriff watched his opportunity to spirit
the prisoner away TO the Jail at Van Vert
a distance OF thirty miles. 1t is currently
reported tonight that the mob is going
into Van Vert county in such force that
it cannot be resisted by the authorities
there.
In addition to the arrest of Hart Levi
Cain and Clarence Brindle have been placed
in jail There is no direct evidence that
they were connecred with the crime but
they were found n Harts house when
the latter was taken into custody. The
Hart residence. ii was found, had been
freshly scrubbed, and when it was searched
two corn cutters and an AK were found
to be missing

Wood. Republican, by from 300 to 500 plu-
ralty. Against the protest of influential
Democrats Governor Altgeld made one
speech in this city, the only one in the
district, to fulfill his promise to Fithian,
the Democratic nominee. but Senator Pal
mer failed to redeem a like promise in his
absence from Olney last Saturday, and it is
openly announced by Democrats, who are
not afraid to talk, that the Cleveland fol-
lowing desire to Mr.. Fithian left in
the jungles of Jasper county, and that
they have instructions TO give Wood as
handsome plurality possible Fithian's
most ardent lieurenants only hope save
800 plurality for him In Effingham county,
which gave Altgeld over 100; 500 in Jas

emerge with more votes than Fithan, and
in the counties of Jasper and Cumberland
he will get loo to $50 more votes than the
