PocAHoNTAs, May 23.-The situation
here to-day is about the same as yester.
day and nothing has happened Of an ex-
citing nature from strike or military
standpoint The municipal and county
election Is the all.absorbing topic of the
day. The mines are not working q full
force owing to the election, conse.
quently the output will not be so great,
but 1t Is thought after the election ex-
element subsidies that many OF the
striking miners will return to their
work. Nothing definite has been
learned to-day from the Elkhorn oper-
atoms, but II is thought that the Crozer
and Houston mines are working small
forces.
BY order OF Major Simons, Captain
Perkins and Lies W. H. Howell. OF the
Roanoke Machine Works Guards, Wis

mining towns for the purpose of Wow

and their attitude towards an adjust
ment OF the differences existing between
them aud the operators. The two sol-
diers disguised themselves by clipping
their boards, DOMINIC citizens clothes
and equipping themselves with photo

They pretended to the representa-.
tives OF the press and sympathizers OF
the strikers and in that way gained the
confidence OF Lawless, Webb and other
leaders. They were invited as special
guests to attend the meetings at Kew
stone and Maybeury. Several good
photographs were COTTON Of the crowds;
also OF Webb and Lawless. The officers
found Thorn fully determined 80 fight
the matter to the bitter end. They
visited number OF the operations and
conversed with the strike leaders and
gained much valuable information.
This trip accounts for the absence of
Captain Perkins and his growing a full
beard.
The strikers held meeting between
the two tunnels this afternoon and
we're addressed by Lawless and Webb.
Lawless stated that he had been offered
$4,000 by the Southwest Company for a.
compromise, but that he would not &C

Saloonkeepers In Fear.

New London, Oct. 13.-It has been re- ported on the streets of New London all day that spotters of the Law and Order league have been in town. At all events the saloons have done but little business, even of the side door or der, and drunkenness has been much less marked than usual.
 Bridgeport, Oct. 13.-The saloon keep CTS of Bridgeport are trembling with fear at the positive statements made by those in position to know that Law and Order men have been at work in this city. Some time ago the officials of the league compromised with the liq- uor dealers. Recently the Law and Or der people stated that the liquor deal CTS had not kept their agreement and it is now war to the bitter end. The Law and Order league has, it is said been collecting evidence and report has it that a mass has been secured At all events a bomb is expected to ex- plode shortly.

FAIRIES ARE AFTER HIM.

James Methers' Erratic Behavior Worries
 the Police.
 A man who has caused the police con- siderable trouble the past few days is now locked up at the poice station, and an investigation will probably be made in regard to his sanity. He gives the name of James Mothers, and his resi- dence as 10S View street.
 His first appearance was made on Friday noon about 1 o'clock, when he was noticed sitting on the City hall steps talking ito himself. He was spoken to by Sergeant Crocker, and he immediately took to his heels and dis appeared up Elm street.
 Some time afterward Patrolman Dougherty noticed man walking ex- citedly back and forth on the central green. He approached him, and as he came up the fellow gave a. yell and shoutings "The fairies are after me P he again sought safety in flight. But fleet Patrolman Dougherty was on his heels and soon overlook him. Them occurred a short sharp tussle in which the pursued came out second best. He was escorted to the police station and his rambling talk caused the sergeant to order him locked up, as he deemed the man insane.
 In the morning he was released, as he seemed perfectly rational. Yesterday afternoon he appeared at the station and demanded that Ser geant Cook should lock him up. He said the fairies were after him and he wanted to get where he would be safe. He said he had no place to stay and was out of employment.
 He was sent to the Organized Chari- ties, and to MT. Carpenter he said he had 8 wife and child who could care for themselves, but that he had been out of work two months and wanted place to stay. He was offered a lodging ticket and told where to find the house, but he refused to take it and suddenly left, saying the fairies were coming.
 He returned to the police station and. dancing around the railing, he repeat ed his tale of woe and he finally be- came so excited in his demeanor, that Sergeant Cook ordered him locked up, as he was afraid he would do himself some harm.
 He will be held until the state of his mind Is passed upon by some competent person, as he is undoubtedly not a safe man to be wandering about the city in his present mental condition.

THEY MUST NOT FIGHT.
Danny Needham Placed Under Arrest and
 Had to Give Bonds.

St. Paul, Oct. 13.-Danny Needham, swho was to have engaged in a prize Might to-day with Dick Moore, was ar 8rested last night and compelled to give Isl ,000 bonds that he would not fight. The warrant also contained the name ssof Dick Moore, but. the officers were un- able to find him. There was a bare possibility of the fight being arranged Sby other means than by the use of a gboat, so the last preventive was resorted sto by prevailing upon Attorney General SChilds to procure a writ of injunction against the principals in the fight, their principals and managers, and all the srailroad companies whose roads led out sof the city, restraining them from in any manner aiding in bringing off the fight. When this had been done the anti-fght 1faction retired from the scene and left the officers of the law to carry out the various orders and mandates.
 Behind all this was the governor S
 proclamation, issued a few days ago,
 to the effect that the prize fight must
 mot occur.

JUMPED FROM A WINDOW
I B4KER'S WILD LEAP FROM 4
 WINDOW.

Leaps From a Third Story Window to the
 Ground-Had Been Locked in by His
 Roommate-Nearly Fatal Result of a
 Holidays Enjoyment,
 Peter Fuchs, baker employed by Gaiser at the corner of DiXwell avenue and Foote street, jumped from a third story window last night and narrowly escaped death. He is twenty-one years of age and rooms with fellow work man at the corner of Webster and Ash
 nun streets.
 Fuchs had day off Saturday and fill ed up with various kinds of beverages.
 He managed to secure such load that 1t lasted him over Sunday. Late in the
 afternoon he wanted to go out, but his
 roommate induced him to stay in and finally went out, locking the door of the room
 Fuchs later made up his mind to go out and as he could not force the door ms only nope was the WlHuoW. Ile looked out, but the twenty-five feet or
 more to the ground did not deter him in his befuddled condition, so he climb ed upon the sill and leaped out. It was nearly dark when he essayed the leap, but some neighbors saw him jump, and, hastening into the yard they found the man lying grooming on the ground.
 Patrolman Lawler was notified and he had the injured man removed to the Dixwell avenue station. Dr. fleming way was summoned and examined the mans condition. The only injury found was a wrenching of the left ankle Whether he sustained any internal in juries cannot be as yet ascertained He was taken to his employers house and | will probably be out in a couple ot weeks.
 He will be extremely fortunate to es- cape so easily, as the jump might have resulted in his death or in maiming him I for life

Another Royal Marriage.

London, Oct. 13.-A Rome dispatch says Signor Lombardi, director general of the Royal Establishment, denies the report that the Prince of Naples, the Italian crown prince, is betrothed to a princess of Montenegro. He admitted that the negotiations opened in 1894 fol the marriage of the prince to a daugh- ter of the Prince of Wales were suspen- ed by mutual agreement, but stated that these negotiations have been re. sumed and it is probable the marriage will take place in the spring. The law requires that the Italian princes shal be Catholics, but their wives may be of any religion.
