BECOMING DESPERATE.
The Strikers Post Notices-"Pre-
pare For Death"


CONNELLsvILLE, Pa, May S.
The Frick Coke company are max
ing desperate efforts to start their
works secretly, as they did during
the great strike, three years ago,
by collecting men in all their
works who are willing to work,
and will start the plants on
time. If successful the new
men will be brought in that
region. In that event there
will be more rioting. The strikers
are becoming desperate, and have
posted notices in all company
houses, warning the men to keep
away. The notices are headed by a
skull and cross bones, with the
following written in large red
characters: death to all men
who go to work at Hill farm TO-
morrow; prepare to meet
your God" The company are de-
termined to resume tomorrow, and
already have a force of armed dep
uties on guard. The deputies are
busy, throughout the coke region
today, serving injunctions on the
leaders to keep off the company's
property, and evicting the strikers
from the company's houses. There
was no trouble, but an outbreak is
liable to occur at any moment.

MISSOURI JOINS THE MAJORITY
The Republicans Secure the State Ticket,
Legislature and Ten congressman.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Nov. IA
funereal gloom has pervaded the state
capital to-day. The result of the cleo
ton in Missouri staggered Gov. Stone
and the democratic administra-
ton. The growing uncertainty
and doubt all day has depressed
them. While this city is regarded
as a political center, it is not a politl-
cal news center, as both of the state
committees have headquarters in st.
Louis. News from there comes slowly
to-day, and it was 4 p. m. when a mes
sage from Chairman Sam Cook of
the democratic state committee to
Gov. Stone announced both the
state ticket and the legislature in
doubt. 1t was read in the executive
Office. and the news soon scattered
throughout the departments. 1t added
to the density of the gloom. Gov.
Stone had no statement to give to the
public. He said in conversation with
friends:
when the vote Of this election Is
annalyzed it will be found that two
agencies which hurt the democracy
were the stay-at-home democrats and
the A. P. A. movement. The demo-
Gratis stayed away from the polls in
large numbers, but the republicans
have not increased their vote much"
Secretary of State Lesueur just re-
turned from Lafayette, where he went
to vote. He had nothing to say. The
news dumbfounded him. No official
returns have yet been received ~ him.
The governor gave up the lower
house of the legislature early in the
day. Secretary Lesueur tried to figure
up a democratic and populist major
ity in the house, but the best
that be could do was seventy-four, but
even that slender hope was knocked
out when the news came that such
democratic counties as Boone and
Charlton had elected republican epre-
sentatives.
Bland has about given up hope. He
telegraphed to Maj. T. o. Towles, of
this city, this afternoon: 81 fear l will
hardly pull through. It is close"
From reports received here it seems
certain that Hubbard has defeated

Promised In Connection with the Lexow
Investigation In New York.
New YORK, Nov. 1.-THE biggest of
the many sensations that have attend
ed the progress of the proceedings of
the Lexow committee will, it is said. be
exploited at the next session of that
body, ten days hence. 1t is alleged, on
apparently good authority, thata prom
inent Tammany leader intends to go on
the stand and make revelations of an
astounding nature. The person who
is to do this is, according to the re-
port, a police official of the highest
standing, who is not only in a position
to tell just where the s15, 900, 900 Of
blackmail collected annually by the
police went to, but a give the de-
tails of the distribution. His confess
sion will be of a voluntary nature, and
it is predicted that the disclosures
will result in the trial and imprison-
ment of many Tammany oficeholders.

Another Important Manifesto Expected
from the Car.

LONDON, Nov. 12.-The Daily News
hears from Odessa: another and
more important manifesto from the
car is expected after the funeral. I
gather from all signs that regret for
the deceased car is materially quail
fed by a certain feeling of relief that
his iron control has been removed.
Anyhow, the momentary popular
mind hovers between hope and fear
whether Nicholas II. will load the
press with equal weight or relieve it
