Pittsburg, July S1.--Legal proceedings

o their homes.
/, This has been decided on, and Sheriff
Harvey A. Lowrey will be expected to

Wish it is evident that the marches are

There has been posted in the vicinity

President Dolan's Address.
President Patrick Dolan said he did
not care how many proclamations were
ssued so long as the peace was kept.
which, he said. it was intended to do.
He addressed a meeting this morning
and went over about the same ground
powered IN MS former speech. lie add
ed that all the labor organizations in
the country, with the exception of the
brotherhood Of Locomotive Engineers,
were with the miners in their strike.
He made an attack on this order, say
ing that owing TO the inroads of cleo
trio railways and other means Of rapid
transit the wages Of the engineers
would drop sooner or later and then
they would be asking assistance from
other organizations.
In all of the other portions of the
mining district the strike matters are
quiet. The strikers are awaiting with
an anxious interest the result at the
De Armitt mines. The owners Of tbs
Castle Shannon mine have decided e
close their plant until the present diff
.ferences in the coal trade are adjusted.

Making Desperate Efforts at wheeling.

Wheeling. July 31.-The striking
miners organizers in the Wheeling dis
trict are making despe ate efforts to
counteract the effect ofethe refusal OF
the men in two mines OF the Boggs Run
Coal company TO come out, but it is
likely the Boggs Run break will pre-
cipitate others. In fact, the mine at
Moundsville has been working with a
small force. and 33 of the 20 men at
Elm Grove were at work. The Glen
dale operators assert that their mine
viii resume with a full force.
All Of these desertions are the direct
cause of the failure to bring out the
Boggs Run men. Secretary Lewis Of
the Ohio miners and Organizers An
derson and Selzburg OF the Wheeling
district addressed a meeting in Mounds
Vile, which three-fourths of the miners
attended. The vote to organize a local
union Of the mine workers was unani-
nous. It Is claimed the men at Mounds
VILE will stay out. Notwithstanding the
Boggs Run break.

A NEST OF DOLLAR BILLS.
Rat Turned Out to BE the Thief That
Ia Steadily Robbed Cigar
Dealer BrcndeI.

A rat has stolen about sixty 81 bills from
J. Albert Brendel, a cigar dealer of Brook
Ign. in the last few months. With the bills
the rat made n cozy nest for itself and
family at the back of one of the parti-
tons.
Brendel used to leave several small bills
and some silver in the till over night with
which TO make change in the morning. AL
most every morning one or two of the bills
would be missing. Sometimes all the bills
would be gone, but the thief never touched
the silver.
Night after night the police were detailed
10 watch the place, but they could never
get sight OF the thief. The next morning
one or more Of the bills would be missing.
When a carpenter was making some al
formations IN the store the partition back
of the TIL was torn down. AS the timbers
and plaster fell the carpenter saw a big
rat run from under the debris. In the side
Of the partition was found the rats nest,
banked up on all sides with the remnants
of good ~greenhacks. which had doubtless
been stolen from Mr.. Brendel's cash drawer.
a number of young rodents were found i'll
the nest.

Nine. Dreyfus, Request Refused.

Prisoners of Dreyfus' class are usually al
lowed to have their wives with them. but
in his case this privilege was refused, al
though Nine. Dreyfus offered to build the
necessary habitation at her own expense.
and to be no charge TO the government.
The authorities were afraid that her pres
once might cause them a further Increase
Dreyfus has fattened since he has been a
prisoner. He reads and writes much, sit
ting outside his cage, where he can be
seen on all sides. His guards watch him
night and day. never letting him out of
their sight. All the stories of a substitute
having been provided for him and that the
real Dreyfus is not in custody are utterly
absurd and fabulous.
Since the French. in Difference TO repre-
seLtations of the Australian government
and for other causes, have given up send
ing convicts to New Caledonia, Cayenne is
the principal French penal colony. The
escape from the mainland is comparatively
easy, though immense hardships have 10
be endured in order to reach either Brazil
or the Guianas. Convicts caught in Dutch
Guiana are invariably sent back to where
they came from. The British colonies also
refuse them an asylum.
From the Safety islands the escape is eX-
ceedingly difficult. as the waters around
them are infested with sharks. One of
these sharks. the biggest and boldest. is
well known as the "Harbor Master" De-
ceased coDvicts are taken out in a boat,
fitted out with a plank or a lever. When
the lever Is released the plank turns and
the body on 1t pitches into the water:
AAo AAAh vi AIC "a hAitIl - 1t SLi
for ihe sharks to appear, and the body
hardly reaches the water before the sharks
begin to struggle for it. The boat has TO
be rapidly pulled away in order to avoid
an accident from the connection caused by
the sharks in their struggles to get at the
corpse.
Notwithstanding these dangers, how-
ever. c~onvicts do get away from the Safety
Isles. Only a few months ago. at II
O'Clock in the morning, six convicts seized
n whaleboat and took flight. after having
LAD time enough TO provision her with
water and food This happened ut an hour
when convfcts are not supposed to be at
large, and when the guarding of them is
mt its easiest. The fuGitives. amid a show
or of rifle and revolver shots. succeeded in
getting away. passing under the stern of
n schooner moored in the harbor in so
doing. While the steam launch was being
prepared for pursuit the schooner's serv-
Ices were requisitioned, but the fugitives
promptly made for the coast. where the
water was shallow and where the pursuers
could not follow them.
Telegraphic notices of the escape were
rapidly sent around, but the fugitives sue
ceeded in landing. and the only satisfac-
tion the authorities had was to retake the
abandoned whaleboat. One of the convicts
was a notorious assassin.
