Gov, waite Acts rs Arbitrator and AN
Agreement Is Reached at Last.
DENVER, June 5.--The strike mt Cripple
Greek has been settled. Late last night
u conference between Governor Waite, }.
j. llcgerman and David IL. Motlat ar
rived ut an agreement which is satisfactory
to all parties. The conference began at
: O'Clock ut the request of Governor
Waite. As soon as the triumvirate AS
semhlcd Governor Waite announced that
he was authorized to act for the miners
and consideration OF the various points
was immediately begun, But one point
caused serious complication, and that
was the time to be allowed for luncheon.
The miners demand thirty minutes, they
to b. allowed pay for the time.
The articles Of agreement provide that
the miners shall work eight hours day
with twenty minutes for luncheon. that

THE CRIPPLE CREEK TROUBLE.
Troops Sent Forward-Waite's Instruc-
tions Peace Not Assured.


tions-Peace Not Assured.
DENVER, June 6.-The whole military
force of Colorado is on the march to
Colorado Springs, that point being the
destination because Governor Waite so or
dered. His instructions to General Brooks
were to proceed with his troops as far as
Colorado Springs. When there he is to
get the consent of every mine owner to
abide by the articles of agreement, and
not to go a step further unless his mission
there is successful. If successful, he will
then 20 to the Cripple Creek district and
get like acknowledgement from the
miners.
The mine owners say that after the in
surrection is put down and their property
restored to them they will arbitrate as to
wages, hours, etc. Sheriff Bowers says he
has warrants for the arrest of 200 miners
which he will serve. He expects the strik-
ers will make a determined opposition.
So the outlook for peace is not so favor
able. The strikers are dissatisfied because
the agreement binds only Hagermann
and Moffat, besides which the deputies
made n threatening move.
A company of sixty deputies advanced
to Midland and took possession of the
town and later were reinforced by II large
body. Last night n telegram was received
stating that Sheriff Bowers would move
the deputies towards Bull Hill. Imme-
diately on receipt of information that the
deputies had advanced to Midland courers
were sent in every direction and in short
time all the strikers were again under
arms.
When Alexander Mcintyre, state organ.
izer for the Miners union, read the arb.
tration agreement to the assembled min.
ers Immediately all the men on Bun Hill
laid down their arms, the pickets We're
called in and the fertilization abandoned.
The town was decorated with flags and the
rejoicing over the settlement of the strike
was general, but what will happen now is
beyond prediction

notified its employees that the works
will not start up again for year.
We look to the recognized wooden
mill company rs our remaining hope.
One has surely to go from home to
learn the news. The Democrat can
not imagine who could have written
that the Mineral Point zinc company
has notified its employees that the
works will not start up again for II
year. The statment is utterly without
foundation. The company is buying
thousands of tons of ore, and are
having 1t hauled to their works here.
Everything points to the fact that
they are preparing for long steady
run, and we are glad to be able to
authoritatively state that an early
start will be made the coming fall.

TRIED TO ROB A TRAIN.
RAILWAY BANDITS TAKE A RAIL
FROM THE TRACK,

But Fail In Their Object of Sending the
Cars Over "a High Embankment-scene
of the Crime IA Noted Region in Southern
Illinois.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 5.-A dispatch
from Columbia, Ills, states that passen-
ger train No. on the Mobile and Ohio,
which left here at S35 p. M, was ditched
at Fish Lake, near Columbia, by train
robbers. The engineer and firemen are re-
ported fatally and others seriously in
jured. The ditching was caused by rail
which had been loosened. The whole
train left the track and had it gone over
the high embankment heavy loss of life
would have resulted. The engine was
thrown down the embankment, the bag
gagecar was torn to pieces and all the
other cars were knocked from the track
Several Suspects Arrested.
All kinds of rumors were ahoat in East
st. Louis and St. Louis, as the train was
the same one which suffered several at
tacks at Forest Lawn at the hands of rob-
bers, and many feared that they had at
last succeeded in carrying out their plans
of robbery. Several men were arrested
after the accident at East Carondoet, Ills,
as the authorities there had good grounds
to believe that the train had not only been
held up but that the villains had caused
the wreck in order to accomplish their
purpose.
Costs Two Human Lives.
Chief Walsh, of East st. Louis, detailed
four officers to go to Columbia, which is
about twenty three miles distant, to work
on the affair, and the men went to the
scene on n special engine. 1t is known
that the robbers were scared away without
having secured anything. Nobody saw the
would-be robbers, but fresh tracks leading
from the scene of the wreck indicated that
they had been there and fled when the at
tempt to totally disable the train failed.
1t is ascertained that Engineer Keefe was
killed and Fireman Collins fatally injured.
Richard Nagel has been arrested by the
East st. Louis police on suspicion of being
one of the wreckers

Rioters Are the People, ana Control

NICK EEsPoRT, Pa, June G.-Never has
this city witnessed such scenes of defiance
of law and the inability of the authorities
to cope with the lawbreakers to the extent
of REFRESHING lawle ssness, rs We're enacted
here yesterday and last night. The
strikers are practically in command of the
situation. The trouble grows out of the
strike Mt the tube works, and the strikers
have outwttod the police, broken into the
mill yards, and are making systematic
tours of the works and their surroundings.
So far MS the authorities are able to
learn nobody has been killed outright, but
the injuries of some of the victims of the
mob's fury are probably fatal. AS mid
night approached the crowd decreased and
comparative quiet reigned. All the law
abiding people were in doors with the ex-
ception of the curious few who were will
ing to take the risks of watching the mob's
work. For the rest the strikers are vir-
tually in possession of the town.

THE WOMAN TEMPTED ME-"
Strange How Like the Old Adam Is the
Modern One.


SPRINGFIELD Ills, June GA sensa-
tional tragedy was enacted in this city by
which two homes are shrouded in sorrow
and shame. Illicit love and jealousy
claim two victims-S. =. Hodgen, of this
city, and former prominent farmer of
Pleasant Plains in this county, and Mrs.
Mollie Jones, also of Springfield. Shortly
after noon pistol shots and screams were
heard from flats near the business center
of the city. When aid finally arrived
Hodgen and Mrs. Jones were found lying
dead III bed In all ten shots were fired.
The woman was struck three times in the
head and twice in the breast. Hodgen
fired two shots through his own head.
Hodgeu has wife and eight children at
Alton, In, Mrs. Jones has husband and
four children, two of whom, aged and 8
years, We're witnesses of the tragedy.
Mrs. Jones and Hodgen entered on their
illicit course at Pleasant Plains over three
years ago, which resulted in the separa-
ton of the former from her husband and
the latter from his wife. He sold his farm
at Pleasant Plains and both moved to
Chicago. After the Worlds fair they re-
turned to this city, where they continued
their relations which eliminated in the
tragedy. In IA note left by Hodgen he
said This should he the fate of all lewd
and homewrecking women" and the
tragedy was doubtless the result of
llodgens broodiuS over his squandered es
tate and ruined domestic happiness.

WHAT GOVERNOR ALTGELD SAID
TO A SHERIFF.

And what the Sheriff Replied to the Gov
ernor IL Equally Lacking in Urbanity--
Some Correspondence Relating to the
Little Industrial Difficulty.
MARION. H., June 6-The long pent-up
feeling in the coal region in this county
has eliminated in n clash between the
governor and the local sheriff. Not
since the strike commenced has there been
any coal except slack moved by mine
owners, and even that Is kept-by men
who will not work or allow others to work
from the main line Of road. The shaft is
about two miles distant, reached by n
switch or short line. AT the junction of
these lines, with guns and pistols, these
men gather and threaten the lives of any
who attempt TO open the switch or move
n train in that direction. The sheriff, with
deputies, has commended until his force is
entirely inadequate, and so notified the
governor, who absolutely refused to order
out the militia. Seeing that further re-
sistance was useless, the sheriff called in
his force and SO notified the governor
AItgeId Attacks the Sheriff.
The reply to this was rs follows: From
reliable information we get here it is ap-
parent that you have misrepresented the
facts and that you are trying to Shift the
responsibility for the preservation of the
pence off Of your shoulders. The law en-
powers you to swear rs many men as spe-
cial deputies and make them serve rs you
choose. This being SO it may have oc-
cured to you that the swearing in of only
thirty-fve deputies under the conditions
which you say exist Mt Cartervlle was not
fair course to use the resources Mt your
command to maintain order. However,
ms you seem to have absolutely surren
dered and life and property are in dan
ger ! have ordered troops to Carterville in
order thnt peace may be preserved and
the law executed; but / will suggest to
you that if you have not the courage or
capacity to properly discharge the duties
pertaining to the Office of sheriff then you
should resign Mt once and let somebody
take your place who can and will do it, for
under the law troops cannot be kept long
at II point when the sheriff can by proper
effort preserve order and execute law.

The strike Leaders Meeting.

COLUMBUS June 6.-At the meeting of
the general executive board of the United
Mine Workers last night resolutions were
adopted calling joint conferences of the
miners and operators in the various dis
tricts Saturday, June 0, at 10a. III. The
Importance OF this lies in the fact that
previously the board adopted n resolution
proposing settlement of the strike by
districts. Mcbride opposed this vigorous
ly, AS he wants nothing but a national
