A MIME WAR IN ALABAMA.
Fears That the Strikers May Attack
the Convict Stockades.

Fears That the Strikers May Attack
the Convict Stockades.
Birmingham, Ala, April 15.-There is a
possibility of considerable trouble in this
district with the striking miners to-mor-
row if reports that are current are true.
1t is understood that the Tennessee Coal,
Iron and Railroad Company will stock
their mines and Blue Creek with
negro labor in place of the strik-
ing miners. This is known TO
be distasteful, and may cause an
outbreak. Sheriff Morrow tonight sent
a posse of deputy sherifs at the request
of officials to Blue Creek in order that
any disturbance might be quelled. 10000
rounds of cartridges have been
ordered, and the four local military com
panies are expected to be called
out if there is any possibility of serious
trouble at Pratt mines and Coalburg.
About 1000 convicts leased from the state
are worked, and in order that these miners
may make their strike effective, there is
a possibility that they may attempt to
pull down the stockades at these places.

Heffner was one of Readings char
acters, and was in the fuIl
vigor of health when he was killed
1t is doubtful whether his rec
ord in the parental line was ever eoualed
in Pennsylvania, and the cases where one
man was the progenltor of larger flock
are extremely rare. He was a dwarfed
hunchback and not Of progressing ap-
pearance. He was born In Berlin, Ger
many, in 1916, and came TO this country
in 1913, settling in Reading Until his
death he made living by collecting and
selling rags, paper and iron. His re-
markable family history is part of the
records of the Berks county courts. il
having been elected a short time before
his death while he was a witness In a law
court
He was married first In 1910. In eight
years his first wife bore him seventeen
children. The first and second years of
their marriage she gave birth to twins.
For four successive years afterwards she
gave birth to triplets. In the seventh
year she gave birth to one child. and
short time afterward she died HefTner
engaged young woman TO look after his
large brood of babies, and three months
later she became the second Mrs. Hefner.
She presented her husband with two
children the first two years Of their mar
ried life. Five years later she had added
leu lIOIt 10 bll6 ldullAN, TWO at eVerV
birth. The next three years were not so
productive, the yield being only one each
year. She died before another year came
round. OF the thirty-two children John
Heffner had been presented with up to
1889 twelve had died. The twenty that
were left did not appear to be
any obstacle to young widow
with one child consenting to become the
third wife of the jolly little humpback-
for he was known as one Of the happiest
and most genial men in Reading, although
1t kept him toiling like a slave TO keep his
score of mouths in bread. The third Mrs.
Hefner became the mother of nine chill
dren to her husband in ten years, and the
contentment and happiness of the couple
were proverbial. How many more would
have arisen to call him father is, of
fcourse, not known, for one day in the
fall of 1885, while still a vigorous man,
the father of forty-one children was run
down by Reading Railroad locomotive
and instantly killed. But for this sad
ending of his life it is impossible to esti-
mate with any degree of certainty what
the size of the little peddlers family
would eventually have been. His widow
and large number of his children are
living in Reading and vicinity. They are
all thrifty and respectable people.

sunday Bass RAN.

Editor Morning News; With much sur
prise read this morning in the News
that the Savannah and Macon base ball
teams will play a game this Sunday af-
ternOon, and that the clubs will rest to-
morrow. The local management know
full well that public sentiment in Savan-
nah Is strongly opposed to Sunday ball
games here, and by their action are set
ting at defiance this sentiment
Probably they argue that they, by tax
ing advantage of the parks being outside
the city limits, can reap rich harvest of
quarters from those whose work prevents
from attending on week days, and who
are otherwise indifferent about it (; others
can stay away on Sunday
The management viii soon find that
such people will stay away not only on
Sunday but on all other days too; and
that by this reckless disregard of respect
able public opinion they have finally and
effectively killed the sport.

recalls the fact that he was one Of forty

died in the fall of 1885, at Reading, at the
age of 80. Had death in an accidental

the number Of his progeny would have
been considerably increased. At the

was the father of forty-one children, and

DIVORCED BY THE CLIMATE.
A Pennsylvania Romance That Ended
in Tragedy.
From the Philadelphia Record.


From the philadelphia Record.
West Chester, April 10.-A romance in
which the climate was responsible for a
divorce had a sad ending yesterday in the
death of Mrs. Bessie Rheimer, at Mo
dena. She was only 30 years old, and it
is said she died of broken heart.
Several years ago her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. William Mode, moved to a far west
ern town. Bessie was then pretty girl
OF interesting years, and she soon became
the favorite in the town. A Mr.. Rheimer,
prosperous young business man of that
place, fell in love with the fair Chester
county maiden. The courtship was brief,
and happy marriage resulted. The
young couple lived together for some
time and each seemed greatly devoted to
the other. The wife then grew i'll and
the ailment was declared by her physi-
clan to be due to the peculiar climate of
that place. He told her she could not
live if she remained there Reluctantly,
then, she came back to her old Chester
county home.
DIVORCED AND BRoKEN-HEARTED.
Mr.. Rheimer refused TO come east with
his wife on the ground that his business
would be ruined. He stayed in the west
and his letters to his wife grew fewer

come, and then the young wife had an
awful shock. Her husband applied for
divorce and it was granted to him He
charged desertion on the part of his
wife, which was literally true, for she
could not live in the place he chose for q
home.
1t was not long until a greater shock
came to the lonely wife. Her husband
had found another to take her place. Ills
marriage completely Frustrated his first
wife, and no physician was able to cope
with the malady that afflicted her heart
She died yesterday, and, although the
doctors said it was "heart failure" her
friends say her heart was broken.

The report that Abe Smalls had been
captured and would be brought to the
city yesterday morning, proved, as was
expected, unfounded
Neither Smalls nor Brewer was
brought into the city, and no information
of either was received at the police bar
racks or the Jail
A repetition of the report was received
from Atlanta last night by the MORNING
News. The rumor Saturday night came
so direct, and the place Of the arrest
was located with so much certainty,
that it was thought there
might be some truth in it. This is about
the tenth time that Smalls has been
captured beyond question, and each time
the party captured has proved to be some
other person than Smalls, or the capture
has turned out fake.
