(IyHE OFFICERS have made some
A. remarkable hauls In the way OF
catching cattle thieves recently. Be
ginning with the killing Of ii. Aught
on Grand river about one month ago,
the work Of capture has progressed
steadily and eighteen or nineteen men
have been arrested and bound over
charged with stealing cattle. OF the
Andrews gang there were siX bound
over by the commissioner with what
would seem TO be abundant evidence
to convict. Then from Ed C~ampbell's
neighborhood about Alluwe, were
brought first and last, eight men who
have also been held. Then from
Falkland several more were brought
In Tuesday OF this week by deputy
Paden Tolbert, and who up TO the
present time, have not been examined.
Commissioner Mcclure has been very
active in the work OF running down
and capturing the thieves, as also have
Mr.. Tolbert and other officers. The
people In nearly every neighborhood
have lost cattle, in some instances
dead cattle have been found with the
hind quarters cut of and carried away
and the balance Of the animal left to
feed the coyotes. The audaclty OF the
thieves In some instances that have
come TO light, was most remarkable.
In a pasture near Watoya a half doz-
en- men went in broad day light and
shot down one Of j. o. Halls steers,
shooting it several times, and then
deliberately skinned 1t, cutting out
the brand, and destroying the ears so
as TO obllterate any trace as to the
ownership. On m occasion, accord
ing TO a statement Of one OF the de-
PENDANTS on the witness stand, some
discussion was had as to the kind OF a
beef" TO kill, some wanting 10 kill a
small n TO avoid waste, while Others
argued that the waste was nothing "a
them as the cattle cost them nothing.

New York, Aug. 1.-THE four weeks
continuous strike of the east side tai
lors summarized is an expenditure Of
$4,000 from the exchequer Of the Broth
erhoOd of Tailors. the return to work
within the last week Of 5000 men, and
100 women in 1856 shops, the opening Of
seventy-two cooperative shops employ
ing 500 men and 100 women, numerous
fights between union and non-union
garment workers, and lastly an appeal
to affiliated organizations for funds to
support 1900 striking tailors who are
In actual need.
A number of contractors have thus
far engaged extra hands taken from
the ranks Of the strikers and in this
way the big army Of idle taiiors is no.
ticeably decimated to-day. The pants
makers are gradually returning to
work. Up to the present only fifty con-
tractors employing 100 men and 300
girl operatives have made settlements.
This leaves over 1000 men and 1000
women, mostly Italians, still out.
Quite number of applications for
settlement were received to-day by the
settlement committee. These are being
examined az to the solvency OF the

Cleveland. O., Aug. 16.-Major Nc
Kinley and Chairman Hanna met at
the latter's house in this city to-day
and talked over the campaign. Mr..
Hanna said he was very much pleased
with the progress OF the affairs. More

mailed from the Chicago headquarters
within the past two weeks. "The stu
alton in the west is improving daily"
he remarked. '.rhe work of education

Mr.. Hanna said the speaking cam
paign would probably be well under
way within the next ten days. When
asked IL Major Mckinley would take
the stump. Mr.. Hanna replied:
Major Mckinley has made no
change In his plans. He will not take
the stump In this campaign. 1t has
been limited that he might 20 " NIL

Major Mckinley will return home to-
morrow, and Mr.. Hanna will start for
New York tomorrow evening. The ma.
tional chairman said he was not In
formed as to the progress Of the cam
paign In the east for the reason that he
had been SO busy In Chicago that he
had no time to read his letters.

New York. Aug. 17.-NOtwithstand
Ing largely increased forces Of grave
diggers working day and night, graves
could not be supplied to fill the demand
at the cemeteries, Sunday.
There was also shortage Of hearses,
and 1t was necessary to borrow from
other cities.
There were 400 funerals In New York
during the day, and over 200 In Brook
lyn. Undertakers said the funerals OF
Sunday would be more numerous than
those of any other day In the past week
and that meant more numerous than
In any other day In the history Of this
city. They were right.
Friday, Saturday and Sunday saw
more burials than any seven days of
which cemetery bOOkkeepers can md
a record. These are startling facts,
but there are others as notable. The
number OF children among the dead
has never, In the hottest week OF any
year, been so small as last week, neith-
er has the hottest week OF any year
seen 80 few burials of aged people. The
average age OF the persons Inferred In
three principal cemeteries was forty
seven years There wa-o nn"-'r tu'""
ms many men as women buried.
OF the 1910 persons who died In this
city last week. nearly 500 died Thurs
day night. Friday and Saturday. Be
cause of the difficulty In securing cas-
lot hnp ,,I ,.y,.
dertakers services beyond the simplest
and most necessary. nearly all the fun
erals for that period We're delayed un-
til Sunday. There were thlrty-six
hearses borrowed from adjoining
towns of New Jersey and twelve from
Philadelphia. Several New York un-
dertakers. whose rush was over, loan
ed hearses TO Brooklyn friends. Other
hearses were added to Brooklyn's SUB
ply from Long Island towns. AS there
We're nearly one-fourth OF the weeks
$40 dead in that city still unburied.
The cost OF funerals advanced about
20 per cent. on Friday.
SO many graves had been called for
that the force of nearly 300 men AT
Calvary cemetery had been increased
by over 100 diggers and the entire
force had worked night and day. At
the Lutheran cemetery. the number of
diggers had been nearly doubled and
even then the number OF graves COM
pleted was less than We're needed. In
consequence many bodies We're placed
In receiving vaults.
All day Father Costello stood In the
tiny chapel at Holy Cross and pro-
nounced benediction for the dead. The
funeral trains approached the chapel
In double lines, the hearses massed
around the entrance, where bearers
and the weeping relatives waited un-
til their turn to enter.

The strike at Cleveland. Ohio, has
eventuated, 1t is reported. in settle
ment, the main points at issue being
conceded the strikers. 1t was bloody,
disgraceful. and riotous affair. and,
with all such shocking struggles, points
unerringly to the weak spot In our gov
ernmental structure. Seemingly one OF
the penalties OF liberty Is that we can
not we'll coerce each other without dan
ger of losing liberty altogether, other
wise compulsory arbitration might

Exploslon Of Twenty-Five Pounds Hlovs up
Two Mea.
Lancaster, Pa, Aug. 1.-Two men
were killed, fifteen or more injured
and several buildings demolished by
the explosion Of twenty-five pounds OF
dynamite at New Holland. Pennsylva-
mia, this morning.
The Pennsylvania Telephone compa-
ny is building new line In that vicin-
ity and had stored the explosive in the
summer kitchen Of the Eagle hotel.
Early this morning Charles +. Cannon,
an employe OF the company and one of
the gang just about to start to work.
went to the summer kitchen to get
out enough dynamite for the days use.
A few moments later there was ter
rible explosion, and one side Of the biz
summer kitchen was blown out. A biz
hole in another side had blood and
flesh on the ragged edges and It is sup
posed that Cannon's body was sent
through there. The unfortunate man
was blown to atoms.
Frauk Hammond of Harrisburg, who
was standing just outside Of the build
Ing, had every bone in his body bro
ken and was instantly killed. George
Crossman of Steelton, a water hoy,
was also standing near the building
and was SO badly injured that he died
while being brought to this city.
The other buildings close to the sum
mer kitchen were badly wrecked, as
was also part Of the hotel, while the
whole front Of a large implement store
was blown out. The tin roofs Of q
number OF houses were ruined.
The damage to property will amount
to a large sum. just what caused the
explosion can only be conjectured, as
Cannon was the only person in the
building when 1t occurred.
