CUPID INTERVIEWED
Ana Prevented the Prosecution of
Peter CnIcmnm for Kmpe.

Readers of The Post will remember the
excitement that was occasioued in this
section Of the state last summer over The
assault that was made upon Miss Sallie
MAiilcaH-at-Ilem by i coiored man
named Peter Coleman, who was subse-
duently arrested upon an indictment
charging him with assault with intent 10
rapc, and brought TO this city and placed In
the new jail for safe keeping, where he re-
manned until yesterday.
At the time OF the commission of the Of
feise and the arrest Of Coleman there were
serious threats OF lynching him, and ;ncse
threats would likely have been carried into
execution had it nor been for the strategem
OF the sheriff OF Waller county in getting
his prisoner into the Harris county Jail AS
speedily rs he did.
In addition to placing Coleman in The
Harris county Jail the venue was also
changed TO Harris county and the case was
called yesterday for trial but was nolle
prosecuted on the ground that the clicf
prosecuting witness. Miss Milligan had re-
moved from the jurisdiction OF the court.
hence there IVES 10 evidence upon which a
conviction could be secured.
1t appears that the young lady has since
married and with her husband. has re-
moved to Central America, all Of which is
a very fortunate circumstance for Peter
Coleman.

MINERS STRIKE GROWING SERIOUS
FOUR MEN SHOT,
An Endeavor to Influence the Men to Work,
Terminates in Riot.

While non-union men were trying e
influence some of the striking miners
to return to work, a riot ensued al
Turtle Creek, Pa, Sunday. Foul
Italians were shot, though not seri'
ously wounded.
1t is said that between twenty and
thirty shots were fired. Both sides
are said to have Joined in the use OF
powder and ball. The first lasted but
a short time. but 1t was long enough
to wound several of the strikers.
The ultimatum of the striking miners
is that they will go to work for 81
cents pending arbitration, and If this
rate is given, the Pittsburg district
will alone be considered by the arbi-
traitors. This proposition was made to
committee of the operators Monday
night by NJ. ID. Ratchford, national pre-
sident Of the United Mine Workers.
Several hundred miners, headed by
three brass bands. tagged a mixed
freight and passenger train on the
Cincinnati. Hamilton and Dayton Rail
road at Wellston. O.. Monday. The
train came to a stop and was boarded
by the men. The trainmen refused to
proceed and backed their train to the
ficials of the road to proceed The mi
rers were en- route to Oak Hill, where
there was a mine in full operation. Ar
riving at Oak Hill the strikers march
ed to the mines and demanded that the
men come out. This the men did, but
not before being assured that no harm
was intended II they conducted them
selves right. The men then held a
meeting and informed the strikers that
they would not work until the strike
was settled. They were then compell-
ed to march with the strikers through
the principal streets. of Oak Hill.
Returning to Wellston the strikers
captured a Baltimore and Ohio South
western freight train. It's conductor
at first refused to move his train, but
went on to Wellston when informed
that the miners were going to stay on
board until he did move. This is the
second time that the strikers have ta-
ken the men out of Oak Hill mine, and
they informed them that II they were
compelled to make n third trip they
would make II unpleasant for them.
Trouble is feared If any further at
tempt to mine coal is made.
Influenced by rapacious persons Mrs.
Angel, of Plattsburg, N. Y. brought
suit against the Gould estate for S5,-
O6O.OO0. claiming to be the widow of
Jay Gould. She now denies that she
was ever married to the deceased mil
lionaire.
An injunction Of the court, restrain
ing the Fairm9pt, w. Va. miners from
