A CONFLICT FEARED,
Strikers Marching on Mines Whe

Strikers Marching on Mines Where
Men Are at Work.
PittsburG, July 10. - The events Of
yesterday in the Pittsburg coal mining
district indicate that there Is trouble
ahead. The strike has been on for two
weeks, with no cause for alarm in any
quarter, Sbut yesterday the pangs of
hunger and mutterings of discomfort
took tangible form, and a thousand
miners decided to march on Cannon
burg the objective point being the
Boone G. Allison mine. A few days ago
the operators of these mines made a
requision on the sheriff of Washington
county for additional deputies. 1t is
supposed that there are at least 80
deputies at each mine, well armed for
any friction that may take place. Yes.
terday the striking miners held meet
ings which were attended by men.
women and children. The women did
not lag in the interest taken. Many
of them openly branded their hus-
bands as towards. They argued that
they might AS well fight as starve. The
men said the victory could be won
providing every coal miner employed
in the sections where the lake trade
is supplied would join the general
movement of idleness.
Plans for bringing out the miners at
work in the Boone and Allison mines
were discussed. Special committees
We're sent from one meeting to the
other. 1t was decided to march on to
CannonsDurg mines. The Reissing
brass band and the Cecil drum corps
were engaged, and the march across
the country is on. 1t was learned late
last night that the scheme has been in
process Of formulation for several days.
Some Of the most conservative of the
leaders claim that there will be no
bloodshed. They say that when the
Golfers see such a big dem monstratiou
in favor of what they term peaceful
battle for bread, they cannot enter the
mines and retain their manhood. The
men are known to be in a condition of
semi-insanity on the strike question.
They have been goaded on by suffering
wives. daughters and sweethearts, and
It appears as If it is the beginning Of
the end of the strike.
Discouraging news comes to the
strikers from West Virginia. The
strike agitators were busy in the Flat
Top field yesterday, but made but lit
tie headway. All the miners in the
Thacker coal fields, who on Saturday
afternoon voted to quit work this
morning, held mass meeting yes
terday and reconsdered matters
End they all returned to work as usual
this morning. 1t is believed the min
crs at Dingess will also change their
action Of Saturday and return. The
operators at Elkhorn are working dill
rcntly among their men, and they have
hopes Of persuadlng them to return.
If they do. it will then be almost i'm
possible for strike agitators to induce
miners in the Flat Top fields to quit
work.

AGAIN A FUGITIVE.
The Notorious Ellen Peck Again
Wanted by the Police.


New York, July 19.-After eluding tho
notice of the metropolitan police for
more than six wears Ellen Peck. the
confidence woman now nearly 70 years
of age, Is wanted again. Her victims
this time are several residents of
Brooklyn, whom she is charged with
swindling out of sums aggregating $15,-
900. More specifically. she Is wanted
for defrauding the late DR.. Christopher
Lott of $1,000. an amount which repre-
scented nearly all of his savings, and
the loss of which Is believed by his
friends to have contributed largely to
his death, which occurred on May 10.
For this Ellen Peck, under the name
of Mary Hansen, has been indicted for
felony by the grand jury of Kings
county. Her alleged daughter and som
in-law, William Simpson. have in the
same connection been indicted for COM
pliclty, arrested and released on bond.
Mrs Peck has not been found.
Mrs. Hansen became acquainted with
DR.. Lott In 1894. while he was profess
sionally attending the Simpsons, with
whom she resided, and soon ingratiated
herself into the goodwill and confidence
of the doctor and his wife. She repre-
scented herself to be the widow Of Ad-
miral Johann Carle Hansen, of the
Danish navy. According to Mrs. Han
sen his fortune, amounting to many
millions, had been placed In the keep
ing of the United States government,
certain conditions making it unpleas-
ant for the owner of this vast fortune
to retain the money in Denmark. Mrs.
Hansen made it appear to the doctor
that certain difficulties had arisen
which prevented the withdrawal of the
money from the United States treas
ury, and by talking glibly of visits to
Washington and interviews with Sec
retary Carlisle and Deputy Assistant
Treasurer Jordan quite enlisted the
doctors sympathy. When Mrs. Han
sen had secured nearly 10000 DR.. Lott
made an urgent demand for settle
ment, but before he could take any
legal action he became i'll and died.

Saft Francisco, July 19.-Joseph La
due the owner of the town site Of DaW-
son City, Alaska, the nearest town to
the Klendyke region, started yesterday
for his home in Pattsburg, N Y. Be-
sides owning the town site Of Dawson
City, where land is already selling for
$1,000 a lot. Mr. Ladue brought with
him enough gold dust to keep him in
comfort for some time TO come. Mr..
Ladue stated to a reporter that there
was no doubt ef the richness of the
gold digginEs In the Klendyke region
He thinks there 10 enough gold in the
ground to keep all the miners who can
work busy for The next 20 years. Mr..
Laduc, however, Issues timely warn
ing to the thousands who are preparing
to rush to the gold fields this year. He
says:
There are at present about $500 peo-
pie In the country, and that number is
about all that can be accommodated
this winter. Provisions are high, as
1t costs 10 to l5 cents pound to land
goods at Dawson City, and 1t is i'm
possible to get more provisions in this
year than will supply the present popu-
lation. If miners rush UP there this
summer, unless they take with them
their own supplies. they will suffer
great hardships. l advise everyone 60
ing to take supplies sufficient to last
at least IS months. The fare to Daw-
son City from San Francisco Is $150,
and II will cost at least $500 to trans
port supplies for one man. The steamer
Excelsior will leave here for Alaska on
July Is, and already all her passenger
accommodations are engaged. This will
be her last trip this year, The Excel
sior goes to st. Michaels, at the mouth
of the Yukon, and passengers and
freight are transferred to river
steamer and carried 1900 miles to Daw-
son City. Overland the route is about
bvJ miles from Juneau" Mr.. Ladue ad-
vises people to wait until next spring
before going up.
