RECORD MAY BE BROKEN.
Marching Men May Not Be Held Back, as
They Are Restless.

Pittsburg, Aug 2S.-Hereafter the dep
uties viii not interfere with the strikers
if they march after G o'clock in the morn
ing and keep off the property of the coal
company, but all marching will be stop
ped before that hour.
About thirty women made demon
stration at Newton this morning before
daylight. They carried miniature flags,
which they waved enthusiastically as
they marched up and down the road.
Every now and then the women cheered
and they walked quickly to keep warm.
The deputies kept away from the women
down for an hour. got tired and went
home. The women. who were out look
ing for victims, had to go home without
finding any. Not a digger showed his
few who went to work took a roundabout
route to the pit.
The camps at Turtle and Plum creeks
have been maintained for about four
tie different from that during the first
few days of marching. The men still at
work doggedly stuck to their picks On
the other hand, the strikers in the camp
seem as determined as ever. They are
waiting until the result of the cases of
the men arrested for violating the in
junction show what course the courts
will take. In case the men are released
the morning marches to the mines will
be resumed and the Dearmitts will have
a hard time holding their men at work.
If the courts hold tbs defendants in con-
tempt the result is problematical To
stay in camp without making demon
strations can do but little good, and
some of the strikers say they will march
in spite of courts and deputies. The
peaceful spirit, which has made th-
strike the most remarkable on record, Is
being slowly worn away by the vexa-
tons and disappointments which have
been showered upon the strikers.

4 GANG or BOY BURGLARS |
Who Have Been Operating in
Birmingham
RUN TO Earth BY POLICE
Three Are Now In JaiI-The Leader Is Yet at
large-SuSpected of the Mcmillan
Lee Robbery

: Thrse young negro boys are in the city
prison charged with burglary and grand
larceny. They. are. being held for alleged
completely in the recent McMillan-Lee
burglary.
About ten days ago the store house of
the McNillan-Lee- company was entered
and robbed. 1t was discovered the next
morning by. one of the clerks. The mat
ter was reported to the officers and two
of them were placed on guard at the
store the following night. While the Of
ficers were gazing at the hole through
which the culprits entered, gang of
thieves were on the inside footing the
store again. This fact was also discov-
ersd the following morning when the
door was opened.
From appearances it seemed that the
robbers had used a wagon to cart off
what they had stolen. No trace could be
found of the goods, nor the people who
stole them. The officers were not detail
ed to work the case, but two of them
accidentally fell on to a clue and went
to work on it ait once.
: These officers were Bodeker and Lang
ston. When they had progressed to a
degree to warrant them assistance, they
called in officers Ellard, Thompson and
Shirley. These men traced the goods
stolen and finally found what they con-
sidered sufficient evidence to arrest Jeff
Holmes, aged II years; Frank Hale 10
years old, and John Berry, aged IS years.
There are others who have sol far eluded
arrest, but the officers have evidence
which points to several well known
young negro boys who are stir in the
city. The leader of the supposed gang
left the city several days ago and sue
eSsIded in giving Langston, who went af-
ter him, the slip. The boy left the town
to which he had gone Friday afternoon,
and the officer was a few hours too late.
These boys are the same ones who were
arrested some time ago for burglarizing
the vinegar factory. They succeeded in
, being acquitted on that charge. They
Z are we'll known to the police, and are
said to have been in the prison many
[ times. They deny that they are guilty
of any crime but say that enc of the
boys yet at liberty did the McMillan-Lee
robbery.

to parties who bought them from the
boys Other witnesses will swear that
they saw the boys giving away blocks of
chewing gum to negro girls and other
people. THIS officers believe that they
have excellent cases against the boys,
but do not desire to press the matter un-
til they catch the others

Peny May Go Home,

Washington, Aug. 2S.-The secretary OF
the Korean legation stated tonight thai
thsre was no truth in current reports
that the Korean miniser, Mr. Chin Peny,
had been recalled as result of recent
friction among Korean officials here. II
is not Improbable, however that the
minister will voluntarily return to Korea
at no distant day. The reports of his re-
call are alleged TO have resulted from
the i'll feeling arising from Mr.. Peny's
failure to attend the funeral of the lats
minister from Korea, who recently died
and was cremated here.

THEY KNEW A GOOD THING
One Pittsburg Firm Owns All
MonongaheIa Coal.
SAW THE STRIKES RESULT
And Quietly Secured Options on All in Sight
Marching Men Growing FESTIVE
and May Turn Loose.

Pittsburg Aug. 2S.-By the end eff the
week all the coal in the Monongaheoa
river win practically be in the hands of
one firm, and prices will be made by Tho
lucky posscssors of the mineral There
has been a steady increase in the prices
of mine coal brings from 10 to 10h GEMS.
When the present strike began the firm of
John H. Jones & Co. saw that prices must
advance and they quietly went RIO work
and bought coal everywhere at prices
which now seem cheap. They have been
keeping This COAL, and now practically
control the coal trade in This vicinity.
When seen today Mr. Jones refused to
say just how much coal they had, but ad-
united that the amount was over 100000
bushels. Enquiries among other coal firms
developed the fact That dhere was very
little coal outside of THAT owned by Jones
& Co., and that firm would be able to get
their own price, Today they were asking
9h oene for run of mine and 1o1s cents
for lump coaa This lis an advance of 2
cents over yesterday, and 1t was predicted
stliat coal would be selling at II CENTS on
MONDAY. This AFTERNOON slack was seDl-
ing at 10 CENTS by the barge load. While
some coal is being received here from
West Virginia, IT is not for domestic
purposes and viii not affect the price 10
any extent. -. =.

THREE TRUNKS STOLEN.
They Were Laying on the Platform at the
Union Station.

Three trunks were stolen from the
Union station sometime yesterday after
noon or last night. One was the property
of MIR. Tachobr, a representative of the
Armour Packing company, and the other
belonged to Mr. Levitt, a shoe drummer.
Both contained quite an amount OF
wearing apparel and advertising matter.
The name of the owner of the third could
NOT be learned.
The trunks we're placed on the depot
Platform and when the parties went to
have them checked they could not be
fourd. Negligence on the part of the
railroad men, or somebody through whom
the property passed, is evident.
"A description of the trunks was placed
in the hands of the police and they are
making an Investigation.

Who has not been victim of some wo-

beautiful hat upon the shapely head
of a pretty woman is a thing of beauty,

At the last session of the legislature
a bill was introduced in the lower house
by Mr. Timberlake, of Jackson county,
having for it's object the doing away with
high hats by ladies at opera houses or
other places of amusement, but it failed
of bsingfa law through its being corner
cd in the senate wing. Should Mr.. TIM
berlake again represent his county in the
legislature it is to be hoped he will re-
Introduce his bill and have it piloted
through to a successful issue.

The investigation into the cause of the
recent wreck on The Southern road, near
Eden, in which Engineer John A. Cheaves
lost his life, has not been completed.
Supt. Frazier is determined to place the
blame where it belongs, and is not over

Several rumors have been started re-
Gently. One of them is to the effect that
the orders were not given Ito the eng ln=er
of the extra train as they were sent out
from this city. No. As, the regular train,
was running in three sections. Tt is sad
that the orders were for the extra to meet
the third section of thu regular train laIt
Pell City, but the engineer had received
the order to meet No. As at Pell City. He
met the first two section of the train, 1t
is said, and then pulled Tout unaware
that there was another section to be met.
The railway officials refused to say any
thing about the rumor. The operator and
dispatcher are said to have been held off
pending the result of the investigation.

DEAD LOADS OF SYMPATHY.

If there is anything the United
States Senator is long on it is sym
pathy, They sympathize with every,
body and everything, When Cuba
needed help the senators said, oh,
yes, we will help you "dontyou-
know" We will pass a resolution
of sympathy tor you. Now, that
Greece has gone to war with the
Turks the senator's, true to their
instincts, have met and passed that
same old stereotyped resolution of
sympathy making slight changes
in it to suit the occasion. Here is
the resolution;
Resolved, That the Senate of
the United States, being mindful
OF the sympathy of the United
States expressed for the Greeks at
the time of their war for independ.
ence, now extends a like sympathy
to the Government of Greece with
its Intervention in behalf of the
people of the neighboring Island Of
Crete for the purpose of freeing
them from the tyranny Of foreign
oppressors and to restore peace,
with the blessings of Christian civ
ili2ation, to that distressed land
Cuba stands just as much in need
of help from SPANS expressing
