HoD CARRIERS WIN THE STRIKE

Chicago, Sept. 1.-THE strike of 90
900 union hod carriers has endedin a
most complete victory for the men.
Few words were wasted in the reso-
luton adopted by the masons' and
builders association, which puts an end
to the largest and most stubbornly
fought strike in the building trades
this year.
BY gaining recognition for their union
from the bosses the hod carriers claim
that they have won all they could have
wished when they started the strike
over a month ago. The scale of wa
ges has not been agreed upon, but will
probably be the rates paid by the big
gest contractors who capitulated some
time ago, at 20 and % cents per hour.
All the men return to work pending the
settlement of the working rules.

DESTITUTE ALASKAN MINERS.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 11.-Inform-
alton received at the treasury depart
ment indicates that there will likely
be much suffering among the miners
at Cooks Inlet who are returning from
the Alaskan gold fields, unless the COM
mercial companies which took them
north will provide for their passage
home. More than a year ago the de-
partment notified the commercial COM
panies that thereafter the government
could not furnish transportation for
these miners and If the company took
miners north they should look out for
their return. 1t is said that if all the
cutters in Behring Sea were pressed
into service they could not accommo-
date more than 120 men. There is
said to be nearly 1000 of these re-
turning miners now at Cooks Inlet.

is 1T DALTON?
THE NEW YORK R0BBER SAID
TO BE.
The Young Man In Custody May Be Dali
tons Son, But he is As Cool
Asa Oyster and Gives Moth
ing Away.

New York, Sept. 1.-THE Herald this
morning says: Acting on information
received by Capt. Monihan of the 14th
street police station, detectives are now
searching for Bill Dalton the noto-
rious western desperate. He is be-
lieVed to be the man who escaped in
the robbery of Henry Hildebrandt, a
brewery messenger on Wednesday
noon. The man in custody is believed
to be his son.
Il could not swear TO it in court of
law" said Capt. Monihan, but 1 am
firmly convinced that the robbers were
the noted western outlaw and his son.
And then the prisoner, he looks exact
ly like the outlaw. The two men
have been around Third avenue and
10th street for nearly a week, so that
have excellent descriptions of them.
James Dalton absolutely refused to
give any information about his partner
in the crime, though / had him in my
room for hours pressing him with
questions.
Why should -" he said finally.
He's going to be true to me. He's
got 81, 900 in cash. He'll see am well
defended if it takes every cent of the
money"
That utterance convinces me that the
young man is related to the prisoner
in some way, else he would not have
had so much confidence in him.
But Bill Dalton is said to be dead"
Il know that. He's been reported
dead half a dozen times but know he
is alive. I'm positive that he is the
man we are after"
The prisoner known as James Dalton
when arraigned in court took the pro-
ceedings as a matter of course, entered
a plea of not guilty and waived exam
ination. He did not deny that he was
"Bilr' Dalton's son.
What difference does ii make said
he. who ! am? I'm here pinched
and l amt going to say word. I'll
stand my trial and if they can convict
me let 'em do it. They've got to stand
against a good lawyer though, because
I'm going TO be well defended. 1 won't
say whether my fathers name is Bill
or Jim or Jack. I'm the one that's
got to stand for this"
The robbery for which Dalton was
arrested was committed in the hallway
of a tenement where Hildebrandt, a
young clerk for a brewing firm lived
Hildebrandt while en- route to the bank
with about 5000 in cash and checks
stopped at home for his noon meal
In the hallway two men sprang upon
him. He fought to the street where
he was knocked almost senseless just
as a policeman arrived. Dalton was
seized but his confederate escaped
with the satchel containing the funds

FOOL HYPNOTIC BUSINESS.

Providence, r. l., Sept. 11.-John
Hughill, who allowed himself to be
buried alive on the theory of hypno-
tism suggestion induced by Prof. Wat
son, of London, has been unearthed.
Hughill went to sleep but he woke up
IA minutes ahead of schedule time.
When Hughill came to, he made it
known by pounding on the coffin and
during his struggles dislocated his knee
pan. When he was brought to he
lapsed into a deathlike stupor which
the physicians almost mistook for
death. He was rubbed with whisky
and alcohol and revived. Hughill
says that he will never do it again.
When he awoke he imagined he had
been buried alive and it almost crazed
him.

CHRISTIAN MARAUDERs.

New York, Sept. ia dispatch to
the Herald from Canea, Crete, says:
The consul and Mussullmans' deputies
have received notes that vandalism
continues to be practiced. The Chris
tians are devastating the districts of
Milaptamo and Armarie in the prov
ince of Retimo and destroying the olive
trees and other property of Mussull-
mans. This created a very unfortun-
ate impression just at the moment
when the Christians had been granted
such large privileges. Until the fir
man arrives nothing can be done
against the depredators.
