CLEVELAND. Aug. 3.-A startling piece
of news in connection with the Brown
strike. which comes from an apparently
relia BILE source. is to the effect that the
strikers are arming themselves and drill
ing. 1t was said yesterday that forty of
the strikers had organized a company last
Saturday elected Il captain and purchased
reviewers. The company drilled Satur-
day evening, and it was announced that
the purpose of the two men was to avenge
the death OF the men who were shot
n. different different times in conflicts be-
tween union and non-unon men. James
o Connell, the head of the Machinists'
Union, who was here in charge of the
strike and who helped to bring about the
settlement under which the men returned
to work came back to Cleveland ycster-
lay.
O'Conreil Condemns the New Strike.
He was very much surprised and cha
grined to learn that the men had struck
the second time. He said he believed the
company had entered into the agreement
with the men in good faith, and he was
satisfied that the company intended to
live up to its agreement in every respect.
Four companies Of militia are on duty at
the works, and a large force OF police is on
hand this morning to guard against trou-
bic Notwithstanding O'Connelrs posi-
ton, il is very probable that the Central
Labor union will order Big sympathetic
strike throughout the city at the next

executive committee of the strikers arc.

strike was necessary.
VIII Make the Fight National One.
The committee appointed by the Cen

strike reported fayorably.
| The number OF unions affiliated with

the total membership numbers 10000 in

Manager Leath's Minstrel Show.

A gentleman who saw the first per-
Torrance of the reorganized Barlow's
Ministries in Petersburg on Monday
night said yesterday: "Messrs. Leath &
Moseley have clearly demonstrated the
wisdom of opening the SEASON early. for
they have thus been abe TO enlist the
services of some really exceptional talent
There is no dead wood in the combina-
ton, and every feature is distinctive. In
the head lines are Harry Ward, the
comedian. and Mack and O'Day, the negro
delineators, who do a very bright and
clever act. These are supported by Billy
Eberhardt, the juggler. Valentine and
Weeks. q musicai-sketch team. whose
playing IS far above the average; leila,
a really interesting contortionist, and
Marion and Pearl, acrobatic comedians Of
genuine ability.
Vocally, the organization Is strong, and
the selections admirable, while the min
strel first part Is effectively mounted.
The performance on Monday night was
noticeable for its smoothness. or course,
there were spots on the face of the sun"
but. happily. not indelible ones. and Mr.
Ieath. who was before the curtain, took
prompt steps TO have them removed.
The house was well filled. and the show
was quite enthusiastically received.

cnEssroxAL CONVENTION.

The Prominent candidafes-Judge
Rhca'. Boom-wiiIisms, Fudge,
and MarshaIi-Talk of Dark Horses.
They want a winner.

WYTHEvILLE. VA. August 4.--(Spe-
cial.)-wytheville is alive tonight with
delegates from all sections OF this. the
Ninth Congressional District, who viii
assemble In the Church-street Opera
House tomorrow at u NJ. to nominate a
Democratic candidate for Congress. From
the present outlook the convention VIII
be one Of the largest ever held In this
district All Of the hotels here are crowd
ca with delegates. alternates. and visit
ing Democrats. The scene in and around
the headquarters OF the several candidates
is lively indeed.
RHEA'S BOOM.
In the way OF streamers. badges, etc.
Judge w. r. Rhea, Of Bristol, has the
greatest boom. Strange as 1t may appear,
there are large delegations here from
Bristol for and against Judge Rhea- The
former claim that II nominated the Judge
can carry by large majority Bristol city
and Washington. where there have been
great divisions In the Democratic party
for several years. while the latter say he
cannot unite the factions there, and would
lose the county. The only probable con-
don. On the action OF the convention in
this contest will In a large measure de-
pend Judge Rhea's chances for nomina-
ton. II the anti-Rhea men are seated
Rhea will certainly lose.
THE OTHER CANDIDATES.
The other prominent candidates are
Judge Samuel w. Williams. Of Wythe-
Vile; Judge George II. Fudge, OF
Marion, and Judge James w. Marshall. OF
Craig county. IL Is rumored tonight tnat
Judge Marshall may not permit his name
20 20 before the convention. Still his
many friends are urging him to enter the
race. There Is some talk of dark horses
In the persons of State-Senator Henry 5.
Kane. OF Scott. and General A. L. Pride-
more and Judge Charles T. Duncan, OF Lee
county. Judge Fudge Is developing more
strength than was anticipated. The four
Acknowledged candidates. including Judge
Marshall. will probably go into the con-
vention with the following vote: Williams
In the lead with Go: Rhea q close second.
with co. Marshall third. with no. and
Judge Fudge last. with about 20.
WANT A WINNER.
Though there are so many candidates.
still a majority OF the delegates are not
committed 10 any candidate. They say
hey are not here for section. county, or
nan but to nominate one who can carry
the flag TO victory I'm November. The best
" feeling prevails and everything points
% a grand and harmonious convention.
The District Committee have just met
and decided upon w. J. Turpin. of Taze-
we'll county. as temporary chairman, and
g. NJ Edmonds, Of Gate City. as tempo

KENNETH MORTON Is FOUND.
He II Now I'm BotetOurt COunty-His
Father Gone for Him.

The lest has been found. Kenneth
the u-year-old son of Mr.. Kenneth Nor
ton, Of No. 316 east Main street. who so
mysteriously disappeared from his home
about ten days ago. and for whose safety
grave fears were entertained. is safe
and sound at Eagle Mountain. In Bote-
tourt county, on the James-River Divi-
sion of the Chesapeake and Ohio railway.
He was captured there yesterday after
noon by Mr. r. NJ Moseley. locomotive
engineer, who knew him, and his parents
were at once notified by telegraph. Mr..
Morton left last night to bring the runa-
way back to the city. 1t was supposed
that the boy had gone up the Chesapeake
and Ohio, and the officials OF that road
very kindly instructed their employees
to look out for him.
A peculiar circumstance connected with
the case was the fact that just a few
moments before the telegram was re-
ceived by Mr. Morton yesterday, the IRON
board, for which Kenneth was sent
when he ran away, was found in the
cellar of his fathers residence. where
Kenneth had hidden it. 1t was predicted
by the friends of the family shortly after
Kenneth disappeared that when the iron-
ing board was found, he would also turn
up, and this prediction was fulfilled

ABSOLUTELY PURE
posNELLA FELL OVERHEARD.
Police Are Satisfied That He was
Not Murdered.

IOfIcc AEc Hes
Not Murdered.
The Richmond police have about sats-
fed themselves that Frank Donnelia. the
man who met his death by falling from
the Pocahontas on its last Cobbs lsiand
excursion, was not murdered.
The body will, therefore, not be ex-
humed, and the case will be allowed 10
rest. Policeman Werner. OF the First
District. was on the boat, and Kept a
close watch on Donnella from the time OF
the fight at Dutch Gap until he fell over
board near Newport News. He u con-
fident that he received no fatal wound IN
the fracas. and that he fell overheard
while drunk.
The police say that there can be no
doubt OF the fact that the young man
was struck by the paddle-wheel when ne
fell. and this most probably caused his
death before he even struck the wafer
The large wheel has been examined since
the accident, and IL was ascertained that
In each paddle was placed long spike
and the impression prevails that II was
one of these spikes which made the hole
in the deceased's breast.
Young Donne.la's sister called upon
Chief Police Howard yesterday morn
ing and questioned him as to the progress
being made in the case She was tod
everything that had been ascertained'
and left the Chiefs office satisfied tnat
her brother had met an accidental death.
