REFUSE TO Go OUT.
Miners at Ishpeming DisObey Orders
of the Union.

Miners at Ishpeming DisObey Orders
of the Union.
Ishpeming, Mich, Sept 6.-The Miners
Union ordered the pumpmen, firemen and
other employees engaged at section II
mine OF the Lake Superior Company to
come out this n-orning, but the men say
the order is a ridiculous one and stick To
their posts.
The filling of the mine with water would
mean a stoppage of several weeks, and the
company has been seriously considering
the total suspension of mining work there
during the winter The pumps, however,
would be run in case 70 mining was done,
and the pumpmen desire to hold their
post oIs.
The pumpmen working at section 16
mine, of the same company, received similar
orders this morning, but they say they
will not obey This is the first refusal 10
obey the union dictates, and it indicates
wea kness on the part of the union. The
Champion mine will start its steam shovel
and ore crusher on Monday. A number
of men have asked for WORK and prutec-
ton. The pumps at Negaunee mines are
kept in operation by mine clerks aud boys.

MONEY FOR DRY DOCKS
ShiphuiIding Firms Will AssaiI
Congress to That End.
SYSTEMATIC PROJECT AFOOT
They Win Use the Sending of the
Indiana to Halifax as an Argu-
ment-Hope TO Locate One or More
Basins on the Atlantic Coast-Phil-
adeIphia May Get One.

The fact has become apparent that the
large shipbuilding firms are determined
to leave no stone unturned which may have
atendency toward forcing thegovernmentto
eXpend a few million dollars in the construo-
ton of one or more dry docks to be util-
lied in cleaning and repairing the vessels
Of the new navy.
The fact has recently developed that
systematic project had been devised by
which the next Congress viii be asked to
set apart q sufficient sum of money for
the Inauguration of this work. This
movement has been prominently brought
before the public by the necessity which is
alleged to have arisen for taking the bat
tleship Indiana to Halifax to be docked, the
assertion being made that no dry dock in
the United States would receive the YES
sci.
MR.. M'CARTHY'S STATEMENT.
This allegation is completely refuted by
Justin Mccarthy, who constructed for
the government the dry dock at 2 ort Royal,
S. c. The builder states that the gate OF
this dock is the largest in the world, be
ing 67 feet on the keel, more than 100 feet
Oh top, and having % feet beam. A large
space would remain around the batueship
when the water was pumped from under
her.
With the necessity for taking the In
| diana to Halifax dispToven, the fact be-
comes seIf-evident that the powerful COM
panes engaged in shipbuilding are exert
| ing their utmost influence TO force Con-
gress to make an appropriation for an
other dry dock.
| PHILADELPHIA WILL GET 1T.
In the event of being successful in their
| designs, it is expected that Philadelphia
would become the beneficiary OF the large
sums of money to be expended This would
result from the argument advanced that
the League Island dock, which mas not
been used for years, could be enlarged,
thus reducing to a minimum the amount
to be appropriated.
The point will be raised, as heretofore
that sufficient dockage accommodations
must be provided within the limits of the
United States, as in the event of war be-
tween this country and Great Britain the
dock at Halifax would be inaccessible.

San Francisco, Sept. 7.-Though yester-
day was the fourth day Of the trial Of W.
H T. Durrant the prosecution is still a good
distance from its testimony, If it has any,
which will prove beyond a doubt that the
mild hammered, well bred little man is the
one that committed the fiendish double
tragedy at Emmanuel Baptist Church.
A fresh stage in the case was reached
yesterday, a stage which was thrilling in
its horror and kept the crowded courtroom
almost gasping with interest. The story
of the finding of Blanche Lamont's clothes
that were hidden away among the rafteTs
of Emmanuel Church beIfry, was told on
the witness stand by the man who found
them, and as each torn, ragged bit of cloth
was shown the crowd swayed with eX-
element.
There was Just one man in al that crowd
who seemed TO feel no interest in the gar
ments This was the man who, of all
others, might have been expected TO shud>
der and cover his eyes when the clothes
were eXposed-the man accused of the
murder of the girl who wore those gar
ments when she was last seen alive.
DEAD GIRLS CLOTHES.
The Introduction of the girls clothes
was rather startling, almost theatrical.
1t happened soon after the noon recess.
| man bearing burden pushed through the
| crowd and into the courtroom. No one
could see exactly what he held in his
arms, but it appeared to be womans
| form.
What the bailiff brought into court was
really harmless enough, simply dressmak-
er's dummy, over which had been draped
Blanche Lamonts basque. and skirt. In or
der TO make it realistic however, the dummy
was as near as could be made the dead girls
height and figure-a tall, slight, girlish
figure, undeveloped, but still not lacking
in grace.
The basque and skirt were torn and
wrinkled but the tears were pinned up in
part and the gown draped so as to show
| much as il must have been when it's wearer
was alive.
BLANCHE IN A DUMMY.
They stood the dressmaker's dummy be-
side the witness stand and thereit remained
all the afternoon, and to the excited I'M
agination of the attendants of the Duran
trial-and it il trial that sets the dullest
nerve on edge-the poor figure seemed like
an accusing presence. Men and women shud
dered as they looked at it.
A new witness has been discovered by
the prosecution, in the person OF II. j.
Shalnount, a street car conductor, whose
car reached Mission street day after day
IN time to receive Blanche Lamont as q

passenger Having to be at the school
house at certain hour, the pretty school
girl had made it a habit TO take the same
car every morning. From the AIissioa
street line she transferred at Ninth street
to the Larkin street branch of the Suffer-
street road.
Shalmount came To know her face He
noticed that she was a very pretty school
girl and always seemed to be Unaccom-
panied On the morning OF April 8 this
rule was broken. ShaImount observed that
Blanche was accompanied by young man
whom he did not know. The conductor was
particularly attracted to the couple by
their laughter ard conversation.
HE KNEW DURRANT.
They seemed busted in some interesting
discussion Of their books, TO which now
and again they would refer. Shalmount
took a good look at Blanche's companion,
and when ne pictures of Theodore Dur
rant were subsequently published, the
conductor knew that the girls escort
on the morning of April 3 was the young
man who stood accused Of a double murder
AS the prosecution will endeavor to
trace in accurate and logical detail the
movements Of Theodore Durrant and
Blanche Lamont upon the fatal day. this
new witness is looked upon as one OF great
Importance.
He viii draw the connection between
| the two as he saw them upon his car and
begin the recital OF terrible story, which
the prosecution confidently expects to
see end in the sentence OF death.
