Men. OF the same place, defendant on the
charge OF SANDER came to a very abrupt
ending this morning In the Delaware Cir
cult Court Attorney Cranor, for the prose-
cution, simply dismissed the suit. Neff is
q young manufacturer. and it was al
legged that he had told the Young
woman's husband, Frank C. Goodwin. com
promising stories about Mrs. Goodwin and
nlmseli. The young woman made strong
denialS, and brought the SANDER suit. The
defendant did not deny the charge, and pro-
posed TO prove them. In his address to the
jury last evening, w. A. Thompson related
what he expected TO prove for Neff. and
this took about all the nerve out OF the
lalr plalntiff. The evidence would have
been a terrible expose, and the Young
woman decided that she would withdraw
her case The plaintiff is but nineteen years
OLD, and her parents are very reputable peo-
pie.

Assistant General Manager Wood, of the
Chicago & Alton road, said to-day that the
Ohio coal operators had stored in the Lake
Erie ports 665. 0Oo tons last winter and early
this spring. II appears that as soon as
these ports had been well filled they cut
their miners wages TO the lowest INIT. This
action naturally brought on the strike in
Ohio. which was followed bys the general
strike, that was known tof-be inevitable
from the start. The Ohio combination is
now marketing its supply at the advanced
rate. and thereby netting a handsome profit
The situation here is serious, while the Ohio
people are selling oft and coming money
on their Lake Erie supply.
