81, 900 in twenty and five dollar bills and
$400 check in his possession. To reach his
residence by short route he crossed the
grounds of the Rutherford Wheelmen, about
half a mile from the village. Here he was
approached by three men, who de-
manded his money He refused to give
up the money and the men made an
attack on him. He fought desperately until
rendered unconscious by the injuries inflicted
by his assailants. A deep cash was cut in
his head with blunt instrument and he was
kicked violently in the stomach. The men
then took the 81 900 in cash, but overlooked
the check

ground for several hours When he had
somewhat recovered he struggled to his
feet, and managed to reach his home
before daybreak. He is now in crlti-

STRIKERS THREATEN
Riots Feared Today In the
Conne11svil1e Coke
Region.
BOTH SIDES ARMED TO THE TEETH
Armed Deputies viii Oppose the
March Across the Yioughi-
ogheny.

CoNNELL svMLE, Pa, April 4, 1e94.-The
expected outbreak this morning did not take
place, but it has only been delayed that
the organizers may get more men in
line Not a moment is being lost by the
strikers. A meeting will be held at Trotter
this morning, which will be addressed by the
leaders At this meeting an effort will be
made to concentrate the forces and get the
men in readiness for the march across the
Youghiogheny River into the northern end
of the region. This section Of the
region refused to join in the strike and the
strikers realize that their only hope of sue
cess lies IN getting all the men out and max
ing the strike general. 1t was expected that
the strikers would move on the
Davidson works near here before
daybreak this morning, but the delay in get
ting the men together prevented the attack.
There is no doubt but that the march to the
Davidson and other works viii be made
during the day.
WILL BE ATTENDED WITH RIOTS.
The march across the Youghiogheny Is
sure to be attended with riots, as both
sides are armed to the teeth. The
strikers purchased large quantities of
fire arms ann ammunition yesterday. Their
march will be opposed by armed
deputies in charge Of Sheriff Wilhelm and
hundreds of English and American work
and who will resist to the death what they
consider a foreign mission. Rainey and
Frick are sending all Of their men who
have been forced into idleness by the strik-
ers to their works on the Southwest Rail-
way, along which the march will be made.
Every train from the vicinity of Wander
bilt and Dawson brings squads Of men INTO
town. These will be deputized, formed in
to companies and distributed at Davidson,
Elm Grove and Meyer works. The strikers
are assembling in large numbers on the hills
above the Mount Braddock works and have
been making threatening demonstrations
since daybreak.
WORKMEN THREATENED.
Early this morning delegation Of for
eigners was sent to the men who were at
work on the ovens and yards and ordered
refusal to comply kwould result IN
the works. Meantime, the mob on the
hill went through menaeing manoeuyres,
brandishing clubs, stones and firearms. The
| strikers have shown q recklessness of CON
duct and disregard for property from the
beginning. This spirit is shown IN
and Erisenrlng electric cars and the cutting
down of the telephone lines leading to the
works where the strike is in force,
or where the trouble is expected. To
| this cause is due the diffiulty in secur
| ing authentic reports. 1t also works
| to the advantage of the strikers, rendering
| the operators unable to SUMMON the sheriff
in case of hostilities. The operators
now realize that they are in the
midst of one of the hardest labor struggles
ever waged in the region. They fear
that the destruction of property will follow
Immediately upon the first conflict between
strikers and deputies.

her social standing was of the best, he
asked if there was any social impedi-
ment to the marriage of the
plaintiff and himself, and Col. Breckenridge
admitted there was nothing known to the
world that could act as an impediment.
NEVER A PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.
II understand you to say" said Judge
Wilson. "that there never was any promise
OF marriage from you"
There never was.n
''And also understood you to say that
you and the plaintiff agreed on the semblance
of an engagement, and that you mutually
agreed to say that you were engaged and
that you mutually agreed that there should
be an appearance of an engagement-if I am
wrong correct me.nl
That is not true-we simply agreed on
the semblance OF an engagement for the BEN
eft of one person and that person was Mrs.
Blackburn. There never was any arrange
ment that there should be anything like mar
riage.n
Colonel Breckenridge explained in great
detail the nature Of the agreement to throw
Mrs, Blackburn off the scent as to their re-
lations which included the semblance
OF an engagement SO that Miss
Pollard might drop out of the defendants
life respectfully. Col Breckenridge adj
mitted, after frequent questions put to him,
that he had connived at the deception prac-
tlced on Mrs. Blackburn.
sAnd you took this young woman there
and placed her under Mrs. Blackburns pro-
tection?n asked Judge Wilson.
No think not. The understanding and
recollection of Mrs. Blackburn and myself
do not agree on that point
sAnd you scaressed the plaintiff in her
presence~
sNo, did not. The caresses given were
not mine.
HIS MARRIAGE IN NEW YORK.
After questioning the witness about his
trip to New York in April, 1898, when he
was married, and his meeting with the
plaintiff at the Hoffman House, Judge Will
son handed Colonel Breckenridge paper
and asked him if that were fac simile of
his marriage certificate. Colonel Breckin-
ridge said it looked like the original, but he
saw it was not

GERMAN LOCOMOTIVES.
Combining the Best Features OF
English and American Makes.


English and American Makes.
According to the Essenbahn Zsittsag, Mr..
G. Lentz locomotive constructor, said In
an address before German engineering so
ciety on locomotive design:
s.The German and other continental loco
motives are modelled after both English and
American designs, with the result that
mixture of the features Of both is found in
them, the practice of later years, however,
following rather more closely the lines OF
English builders But the inside cylinders
and crank axles of the English engine
have not found favor, at least, not
in Germany, where sharper curves
are permitted than in Eng
land, and where, therefore, numerous
crank-axle failures have led to the adoption
of outside cylinders. Compared with the
English locomotive, the American engine
does not commend itselr In appearance TO
Mr. Lentzs tastes there being, as he puts it,
less beauty of design in its makeup, while
in many cases it is embellished with -four
ishes and needless ornamentatiOH which give
it an unrestful air. The English5builder, on
the other hand, aims at the utmost simplic-
itv, and turns out an engine solid and clean
cut in appearance. Next to the English en-
gines in the order Of merit so far as APP
pearance is concerned, Mr.. Lentz places
those of Belgian make in which inside cyiin-
ders largely prevail. Crank-axle fractures,
however, occur in large numbers with these,
notwithstanding the fact that their design
provides for an extra bearing for these
axles

DISAPPOINTED REPUBLICANS.
Their Convention TO Nominate Free
holders n Farce.

Their Convention TO Nominate Free
holders n Farce.
About one hundred hungry looking Office
seekers assembled at Bergen Hall last night
for the purpose of nominating Republican
existed to authorize such action. The Re-
publican leaders, when the call for the con-
vention was issued, had fondly hoped and
believed that they would have the aid of
Governor Werts in their partisan scheme,
and that he would sign the Freeholders' bill
in time for it to become law
and be put in operation next Tuesday,
SO that twenty-five members of the Board OF
Freeholders might be elected. In this they
were sadly disappointed for the Governor
announced yesterday that he would retain
veto it. This would put an effectual stop to
an election for Freeholders this spring.
Among those VINO attended the convention
last night were Flavel McGee, s. D. Dickin-
son, John Reid of Hoboken, edward MITCHELL
W. F. Ely, John P. Landrine, Aaron S.
Baldwin. Charles O. Barker, George Fiske,
Charles Laws, E. W. Woolley, John Bum
Livingstone, William Broas, Michael
Schuitze, Jr., Martin Fink and G. R.
Christie.
After considerable discussion by the lead
ers concerning the condition of the Free
holders bill and the action of Governor
Werts, E. W. Woolley, Chairman of the
County Committee, called the convention to
order, and John j. Erwin, Secretary, called
the roll for delegates.
A permanent organization was next af-
fected by the selection of Flavel MCGEE for
Chairman, and the retention of John j.
Erwin as Secretary.
In accepting the so-called honor of pre-
siding over this convention, Mr.. MCGEE said
he did not know what condition the conven-
tion was In. 1t was like the play of "Ham-
LETT without Hamlet. 1t was a convention
to nominate candidates for Office when such
office did not exist. He recited the original
BILL and then explained the amended bill
calling for twenty-five Freeholders, which.
he said, could not go into effect until too late
to be of service, and concluded by saying
1T seems to me the best thing we can do
tonight is to adjourn. subject to the call OF
the chair. It has been suggested that
committee be appointed to make nomina-
tions, if such should in the future be needed,
but do not think this action would be
wise one"
Tom Mills, at the conclusion of the brief
speech, moved to adjourn, subject to the
call of the chair The motion prevailed
without dissenting vote, and the curious
convention ended,
