MYSTERIOUS SHOOTING,

Step-Daushter of Ex-Congressman Castle
Seriously Wounded at Minneapolis.
MINNEAPOLIS. May 2.-Miss Viva
Castle, step-daughter of ex-Congress-
man Castle of Saltwater, and for time
q telle in Washington society, is lying
at the point OF death in this city with a
bullet wound in the temple. The cir
cumstances of the shooting are some
what mysterious, the only definite fact
known being that while in an upper
room over the Postal cafe she was
she Mrs. Scott Blake, wife
of tn proprietor of the restau-
raj 41ke says the young lady,
who Lad been visiting friends in
the city, went into the cafe early in the
evening, rain falling at the time, and
sought a suitable place to rearrange her
hair. While seated in large chair she
fell asleep, and when Blake, knowing
of her presence there, went to cali her
he was followed into the room by his
wife, who drew revolver and fired at
Miss Castle. She then turned, the re-
volver against her husband, but he
threw up her arm and the bullet struck
the wall. The affair was not reported
to the police for four hours. Blake was
then taken into custody, and Mrs.
Blake, who had disappeared, was found
at midnight and arrested.

solved. Coxey has no intention of lead
ing his recruits away. He still declares
that the movement has just begun and
that the army will stay here until con-
gress provides for them by passing his
bills. Carl Browne and Christopher
Columbus Jones will be tried in the
police court in the morning. Browne
will be arraigned on the general charge
of violating United States statute, the
one regulating the use Of the Capitol
grounds. Probably Jones will be
charged with disorderly conduct.
Browne Out on BAIL.
Late in the afternoon Brownies bail
was fixed at $500. Mrs. Emily Briggs,
wealthy resident of this city, and Mrs.
Anne Hahn, prominent labor sympa-
thlzer, undertook the bond and the
chief marshal was set free. Mrs.
Briggs conveyed him in her carriage to
her home where he took dinner and
then returned to the army in its new
camp near the river. Christopher Co.
lumbus Jones was left to languish in
the station house. None of the Coxeys
seem to be particularly interested in
his fate, and it is doubtful if any effort
will be made to get him out Of jail.

May.

This month, the fifth in our ca]en-
OAR, was the third with the Romans.
The origin OF the name is somewhat
doubtful, but the best etyrnology
seems to show that it is derived
from the goddess Maia, the mother
OF Mercury, that swift messenger of
Jove. Though the Romans held
many festivals in this month. in one
respect they deemed it to be unluckv.
to contract marriages in Nav.
In our nother-land OF England, from
time almost immemorial, the first
day of May has been a time forfloral
festivities, and innocent out-of-door
jollity. During Cromwellian times
the severe secretaries abolished the
may-pole dances land rejoicing, do
ing all they could to turn the world
into what they declared it to be,-a
vale of tears. Happily that :day of
prejudice and bigotry has passed,
and we welcome the month of flow
ers, as we should, a charming gift
from the Creator. Travel in the
northwest is never pleasanter than
in this month, and no. part of this
section is more attractive than the
beautiful valley Of the upper Missis-
sippi. A journey along the east
bank OF this picturesque river, il
taken in the elegant fast trains of
the Burlington route, will always
be a pleasantSmemory. For: tickets,

DECIDED VICTORY FOR THE MEN.
The Schedule Demanded by the
Railway Union Is Finally
Agreed TO.
HOW THE RESULT WAS ATTAINED,
Twin City Commercial Bodies
Largely Responsible for the
Settlement

ST. PAUL, May 2.-The big strike on
the Great Northern is off and is vic
tory for the American Railway union.
The strike has been on for IL days and
the road practically tied up from st.
Paul to the coast. The commercial
bodies of the Twin Cities are largely
responsible for the result, they having
succeeded in bringing President Hill
and the strikers committee together.
Governor Nelson suggested arbitration
some days since but his action did not
meet with success. Several other at
tempts to bring about arbitration
failed, the men claiming their demands
were just and did not admit of arbitra-
ton. Finally, however, they agreed to
have the matter submitted to
the citizens committee and de-
clared their willingness to abide
by the decision. Various confer
ences were held by the committee
with President Hill and with the labor
leaders. Mr.. Hill was in favor of arbi-
tration all along and agreed to any sys-
TEN of arbitration on condition that the
men would resume work. The commit
tee finally got the two sides together
and after an all day session the differ
ences were settled and the strike de-
clared off. The conference went over
all the details thoroughly, the citizens
committee being the judges. Mr.. Hill
made many concessions to the men, in
fact they gained all their demands. Mr..
Hill seems satisfied with the result,
having secured a settlement through
arbitration as he had desired. One re-
suit of the strike is the resignation of

TROUBLE ON THE MESABA.
Miners Go Out on Strike and Force 9th
ers to Join Them.

Miners Go Out on a Strike and Force 9th
ers to Join Them.
DULUTH, May 2.-The men at the
Franklin mine on the Mesaba range
have struck for $3.50 for surface men
and compelled the men working at the
Oliver, Auburn and Sherman mines to
join them. These are all the mines in
the Virginia group. They also visited
gang of men grading on the Mesaba
road and forced them to quit as we'll.
No serious trouble has yet been re-
ported. Captain Florada, superintend-
ent at the Oliver, who is in Duluth,
states that he expects his men to return
to work soon. In general this optimistic
view IS not shared. The men now out
are of a character likely to make
trouble if the strike continues, and the
measures already taken would indicate
lawlessness.

THE CONFERENCE.

Report of the Committee OF Arbitration
Accepted.
ST. PAUL, May g. The committee
was in session in the afternoon from 4
p. m. to about 10 p. m. Then the doors
were opened and the crowd in the cor
ridors poured in, anxious to hear the
result. For fully half an hour all were
kept in waiting before the committee
were ready to announce the result of
their findings. At last Chairman Pills.
bury, President Hill, Vice President
Clough and the other officials of the
company, together with the mem bers of
the committee, appeared. Chairman
Pillsbury raped the gathering to order
and said:
The committee, after many hours of
elaboration, has arrived at definite
conclusion. We have reduced our con-
illusions to statement which is short
and sweet. I will read it. It is as
follows:
To the Public: Many erroneous re-
ports have been in circulation as to the
wages paid by the Great Northern Rail-
way company, and it is due to the pub
lie that it be informed of the facts re-
garding such reports. The committee
of arbitration find that the wages for
common labor paid by the Great North
ern railway since November, 1898, were
as follows: West of Minot, 1926 per
day; east of Minot, 81 per day, and that
the management of the railway COM
pany had already prepared notice
restoring the wages of such en-
ployes to $3.50 per day west of
Miuot, and $1.25 per day east OF
Minot, such restoration to take effect
May l, 1894; and that the management
of the railway company had already
notified the engineers, fremen and other
trainmen that the reduction in their
wages would not be enforced, in view
of the fact that no further reduction
would be made in the case of other en-
ployes.
President Debs, on behalf of the en-.
ployes' committee, accepted the report
in brief speech and was followed by
Mr.. Hill, who spoke briefly of the strike
and its results.

STILL At DIES MONIES.

Kolly's Army Unable to Secure Trans-
portat1on.
DIES MONIES, May 2.-Kelly's indus
trial army was in state of great dis
content during the day and the grumb-
ling Of the men became moro pro-
nounced as tho day advanced. The
fact that negotiations with the Great
Western road had come to naught was
the principal cause of dissatisfaction,
and the scarcity of provisions added to
the generals troubles. It was under
stood that food in plenty had been fur
nished and but little effort was made to
secure immediate help, but the men had
scarcely enough provisions for their
breakfast. The citizens committee
Immediately sent out an urge1t appeal
for help and expressed the belief that
there would be no further scarcity of
food. The prospect that the army is
likely to camp in Des Moines for some
time has dampened the ardor Of some
of its sympathizers, but the greater por-
ton of the laboring people exhibit a
strong sentiment favorable to Kelly.

for utterance, and had to be removed
in a hack. The men, lacking leader,

THE BOOM FOR HINES.

Sheriff Tomirnson wnl Not Express Him - .I--a .szE.s reif.
 The New Haven Union says: The story that James A. Hynes of Waterbury was candidate for courty sheriff and that his friends were to make combination with Mayor Sargent, who would be candidate for congress, has sreated no end of talk throughout the county. MT Hynes has been seen and he refuses to say yes or no as to the truth of the Aory. which is con- vincing that the story isbesed on facts:
 Sheriff Tomlinson when ses2 to-day ? said he was in Hartford at the time the article appeared in the Union and he had not read it.
 "No. don't know anything about the story" put in the sheriff. "I don't care to express myself. Mir Hynes and I are good friends. That's all."
 kMayor Sargent assured the reporter that he had not heard of the deal, but this did not discredit the article about the story which said that only the Waterbury end of the combination was yet in form and that the mayor was ignorant of it. ''I'm not a candidate for anything. began the mayor. Il don't seek office and never have"
 "what. you never have sought officer was the query.
 'No," came the sincere. measured reply ''I never sought office. I have held several offices and they all sought me" That was all that could be gotten out oi Mayor Sargent.
