Business at Cleveland Nay Be Suspended
Hanna's Men Out.

Cleveland, July l0.-The surprise OF
yesterday came when Dan II. Hanna,
the manager of NJ. A. Hanna a. Co., re-
ceived message stating that every
single miner employed at the company 5
mines had gone out. The Hanna peo-
pie have been confident of their ability
to hold their men. Information re-
ceived here shows that the shut down
of the Wheeling division of the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad is absolute.
Unless coal begins coming into Cleve-
land the situation will be serious. The
lighting companies fear the city will be
left in darkness. The director of the
public water works is alarmed over his
ability to keep the water supply going.
The street companies fear suspension
of travel and manufacturing concerns
with orders to fill are fearful lest their
plants will have to shutdown for want
of fuel.
There is strong probability that the
street railroads and the suburban elec-
trio railroads will have to shutdown for
want Of coal. The big and little con-
solidated railroad companies have only
coal sufficient for three days. Fifteen
cars consigned to the big consolidated
were confiscated by the railroad COM
panies yesterday. The street railroads
are much concerned over the matter.

MYSTERY IS COMPLETE.
NO TRACE HAS BEEN OBTAINED
OF MISS GRACE STEVENSON.
Marital InfeIicities OF Mr.. and Mrs. Stevenson
Play an Important Part In the Case.

Boston, July 10.-There are no really
important developments regarding the
mysterious disappearance of Miss Grace
Stevenson, daughter Of James Steven
son, the millionaire real estate operator
of this city and Brookline. who has been
missing since April 26.
A responsible gentleman stated yester-
day that he saw a young lady, undoubt-
edly Miss Stevenson, on a nelectric car
one night the last of April In Boston, and
he noticed particularly that she wore
slippers, which he thought strange for
4 young lady Of her refined appearance.
This is the very latest report Of her hav-
Ing been seen by any one.
There have been domestic troubles be-
tween Mr.. Stevenson and his wife and
Grace, who has lived with her mother
has acted the part Of peacemaker, being
strongly attached TO both. One theory
Is that these troubles may have preyed
upon her until she determined to have
home and escape them.
AS opposed TO this theory is the fact
that she took 50 with her when she could
easily have taken a much greater sum.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Stevenson state posi-
lively that they have no knowledge OF
her whereabouts. and the mystery Of the
girls disappearance is as deep as ever.

CAKE WALKING AN ART.

Moses Thornton Complimented by Justice
For His Powerful Communication.
Editor Evening Tribune:
Mr.. Moses Thornton, personified as
champion of grace and agility and pro-
fessor of many varieties of polish, has
taken exceptions to a communication made
by the Rev. Mr.. Spicer to the Times in
which the fascinating art of walking for a
cake is said to be detrimental and dis
graceful to the colored people of Paw
tucket. The subject is one of which Mr..
Thornton has knowledge greater than that
of most men, and who writes with a
fuency and command of repartee that
cannot have been anticipated except by his
most intimate associates. With his heart
In the work, and conscious of never hav-
ing "done anything to degrade the color
individually or collectively" he denies all
charges calculated to dim the lustre of
hisfavored pastime, and boldly places nom
appreciation Of the sweet contest by the
side of incapability to get near the prize
While holding the deepest respect for Mr..
Spicer am compelled to lean toward the
eide of Mr.. Thornton. i have myself par
ticipated In the charm of walking for a
cake, and In the social privileges in
cidental to such occasions, with the pleas
ing belief that my appearance and style
did not degrade me, or hurt the party. All
graceful nations make more or less display
of their ability to charm. In every city
we are shown the peculiarities of the
streets OF Cairo. Native ladies of Turkey
and Arabia display their cou-che-couche,
and why should our beauties remain un-
known. Echo answers, Why?
In expressing the courage Of conviction
and coming to the assistance of an amusc-
ment pleasant to the body and stimulating
to the mind, Mr.. Thornton has added to
the number OF his admirers. Cake walk
ing as an art makes angels want TO get
there. JUSTICE.

recuperate. and that he would be able
without any question, 70 appear in ccurt
| IN two weeks. Tho rnattsr was accord.

BIG MILLS
TO SUSPEND
Employees Of the LOnsdale
Company to Have an
Enforced Vacation.
Too Much Manufactured Goods
on Hand Is the Reason
Assigned.
THE OUTLOOK IS DISCOURAOIN0.
No Truth In the Report That the Mills Of the
Albion Company Will Close Production
Is to Be curtaiIed.
THE OUTLOOK IS DlscOURA0iN0

The outlook for q prosperous summer
season up the valley Is or will be some
what clouded by the knowledge that q
number OF the largest mills will shut
down for short or lengthy period, ss the
case may be. II Is learned from reliable
authority that nearly the whole of the
large plant of the Lonsdale company will
cease operations on July "A, for one week
at least.
This company has mills at Ashton and
Berkeley and two large mills at Lonsdale.
The bleachery connected with this plant
and located in the old village of Lonsdale
has been running on short time for the
past few months. The closing of the mills
win not effect the bleachery, - IL 10 un-
derstood that 1t will be kept running on
the same plan.
The reason for closing the mills 10 said to
be due to the fact that the company has
too much manufactured goods on hand 1t
the present time. This news II serious
when 1t is taken into consideration that
during the whole of the panicy times the
Lonsdale Company kept their immense
plant running, even at considerable loss
to themselves, and would possibly do 90
now it they saw hopeful outlook.
On the other hand 1t may be that the
company Is taking advantage of this con-
dition OF affairs to make some necessary
repairs.
In connection with this report 1t was
said that the Albion company ives intend
Ing 10 shut down Tor time this summer.
In order to verify this rumor q TRIBUNE
reporter called at the ONCE of the company
this morning and lad an interview with
Arnold B. Chace, treasurer Of the COM
pany.
Mr. Chace, when asked II the report was
true, said that he did not know what gave
rise to such report, as the matter had not
been discussed to his knowledge by any OF
the corporation. He further said that one
thing was certain, II the Albion Company
sold their goods the mill would not shut
down; he did not add, however, what the
company would do IL the company did not
sell their goods.
Mr.. Chase was considerably surprised
when the reporter informed him that the
Lonsdale Company intended to shut
down, but made no comment.
