Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
CLAY CITY. Ind, Oct. S.-The Harrison
miners, DESTROYS OF settling the strike diff
Guilty at this point. proposed the following
scale to Mr.. Talley, which was rejected
by him: For coal 2 feet 10 inches to 3 feet
3 inches, 75 cents; 3 feet 5 inches TO 3 feet
s inches, 20 cents 3 feet s inches and over,
65 cents. On Saturday last Mr.. Talley
sent the following proposition to the
miners here: For coal 2 feet 10 inches 10
3 feet 3 inches, 75c; 3 feet 3 inches to 5 feet
S inches. zoe; 8 feet s inches TO 4 feet ?
inches, Coo; over 4 feet 2 inches, Coo. The
miners rejected Mr.. Talley's proposition,
for the reason that it provided that the
acceptance of it should settle the question
for all time to come; that the miners here
should work for 10 cents less than Brazil
prices on high coal. The acceptance would
also bar them from making q new con-
tract the 1st of May. The miners decided
Saturday night to go to work at the scale
proposed by them to Mr.. Talley. Int
miners are justly indignant at Mr.. Talley's
scale, and since the reduction. OF freights.
Mr.. Talley has almost succeeded in starv-
ing some of the miners into submission
Some of them are almost In actual want
but are willing to suffer rather than sub
NIT to an unjust demand. One hundred
dollars was distributed among forty-nine
families last Friday. This community feels
half way. His proposition would probably
have been accepted had 1t not provided
that the acceptance Of it would settle the
question forever.

BANK ROBBER RIVERS.
Perhaps the Same Man Caught at
MartinsyiIle in 1892.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
MARTINSVILLE, Ind, Oct. S-The cap
ture of Charles Rivers, one of the Bloom
field bank robbers, is creating considerable
interest in this city. He is thought TO
be the same Charles Rivers who was sent
to the penitentiary from here in 1892. IN
the spring of 1892 Mrs. Morton Fuselnlan
was spending an evening alone at her home,
her husband being at his store. Hearing a
noise in an adjoining room she went to see
the cause of it. When she opened the door
between the two rooms she confronted a
man, who fled. When Mr.. Fuselman came
home he was informed of the occurrence
and went about the house, seeing that the
windows were secure against a second in
trusion. A little after midnight Mrs. tusel-
man. who was lying awake from her merry
Gus fright, heard a noise on their loren.
She put her hand on her husband ana ne
got up with his revolver. He opened the
door and the man started from the yaru.
Fuselman snapped his revolver, but the
weapon did not go off. Tn burglar fired
without injury. and then whirled and ran.
Fuselman followed, swapping his useless re-
volver. The burglar, in his flight, dropped
a bottle OF wine which is handled by but
one dealer here. This bottle led TO the
arrest and conviction of a stranger, who
save n, name as Charles Rivers, of Peru,
Ind. TIE saloon keeper Identified him. Riv-
ers was sent TO the penitentiary for two
years for attempted robbery and killing.
His partner, who went through A. j. Wat
sons home the Same night. was also gwen
two years in the p~enitentiary.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
ELKHART, Ind, oct. Sat 9 O'Clock
this evening, as Lake Shore q Michigan
Southern section men were returning TO
this city, they saw some men dragging the
apparently lifeless body OF a man over a
fence into some woods on the western out
skirts of this city. They came into the city
and reported the matter to the police who,
after considerable search, found the body
completely buried under a pile of leaves
and brought 1t to the city, where it was
viewed by hundreds. 1t is that OF a man
about thirty-five years old, very good look
ing, black mustache, five feet and ten
inches tall and Weighing $50 pounds. The
head was mashed with blunt Instruments
and presented a CHASTITY appearance. The
clothes had been removed and piled on top
of the body. There was nothing about the
clothes to identify the dead man. Two
tramps, who give their names as Charles
Thiele, a gardener. and Jacob Hick, a ped
dler, both of Cleveland, were found In the
vicinity of the place where the crime was
committed and were brought into the city
and locked up. They say they were looking
for water with which to make coffee when
they were approached by one OF a half

they cared for their lives. Soon afterwards
they claim they heard two revolver shots,
but no bullet wounds have been found on

1T WAS A GREAT" VICTORY.
Secretary Hoke Smith Discusses the
Georgia Election.

WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-Secretary Hoke
Smith. who has just returned from Georgia,
speaking. to-day, of the recent Georgia
elections, said: The State ticket has been
elected by between 10000 and $500 majori-
~. 1t is manifestly unfair to compare this
election with the State election of 1892,
when Governor Northen received a majority
OF es.0Ga. Then the Republican State con-
vention declined to indorse the Popul.st
candidates and failed TO put, out any candi-
dates OF their own The colored teachers
conventions Endorsed Governor Northen.
Governor Northen. therefore, was not op-
posed by the Republicans but, on the con-
trary. was supported by the majority Of
them IN the presidential election of 1892
DoLh the Republicans and the Populists
mad tickets in the field and the Democratic
majority was 3S.000-only about 5000 more
tnan the recent election. This year the Re-
publican State convention Endorsed the Pop
uliSls and the Republicans voted almost
soIfdly for their ticket. 1t is but fair that
the comparison should be made witha the
Democratic majority in the presidential
election. This shows a difference of only
0,eo votes, and / believe this Will be ac-
counted for by the light vote polled. IL Is
an interesting fact that the State Commit
tee did not spend 5000 in the entire cam
pafgn. It is not cable. too. that no reduc-
ton or maJoritles took place in districts
where the light was conducted in line with
a platform demanding a sound currency
