General Cassius NJ. Clay, of
Kentucky has been granted a pen.
sion of $50 per month. being a vet
eran Of the Mexican war. It will
be remembered that General CLAY
in 1894, when over 80 years of age,
married an ignorant and uncouth
1l-year-old girl. The i'll sorted
marriage caused a great sensation
in the upper social circles of the
blue grass state. The General en-
ployed a governess and music
teacher for his child wife. hoping to
tit her in the course of time to pre-
side with some degree of grace and
dignity over his palatial home. Il,
is said that all attempts to refine
and accomplish his bride have
proved lamentable failure. Fear
ing that his children, upon his death,
would rob his wife of what estate
ne might leave, he applied for the
pension which has recently been
granted him thus making sure pro-
vision for herin case, of his death.

THE CREEDE ESTATE.
The Bulk of It Willed to the
Adopted Daughter.

Los ANGELES, July 15.-Attorney
Jones, while reluctant to talk about the
affairs of Nicholas c. Creede, who died
from an overdose of morphine, said to-
day that he had personally drawn a will
for his client some time after Mrs.
Creede's voluntary departure. In his
will Creede bequeathed the bulk of his
property to little Dorothy, his adopted
daughter. At the same time he has re-
membered his brothers and sisters.
Attorney Jones ridicules the state
ment that Mrs Creede was not fully
advised and protected at the time she
signed the stipulation by which she ac-
cepted $50 600 and agreed to renounce
all rights in her husbands estate.
Creede's attorney is confident that Mrs.
Creede's effort to recover a portion OF
the estate will be fruitless. What ap-
pears to distress Creede's friends most
is the possibility that Mrs. Creede Will
set up a claim to the custody OF Doro-
thy Walker Creede, for whom she pro
fesses to experience a sudden accession
of maternal affection.
Mrs. H. r. Basford, the mother OF
Dorothy Edith Creede, is now in the
city, and is desirous of having the
custody of her child once more. so Tar
as the estate is concerned, Mrs. Bas-
ford stated that she did not care 10
have it placed in her charge. but nat
urally desires that her daughters IN
terests are properly looked after Mrs.
Basford is positive on one point,
though. and this is that Mrs. Creede
shall not be allowed the custody OF the
child.
When Mrs. Creede arrives the con-
test for the division of the estate VIII
begin. but until then no steps Will De
taken by either side until the filing OF
the will for probate.

THE MINERS STRIKE.
ARBITRATORS CONFIDENT IT
WILL SOON BE SETTLED.
Many of the Operators, However,
Have No Confidence in the
Plan Proposed.

PITTSBURG, July 15.-While the set
tlement of the miners strike on the
basis of the true uniformity in prices
and conditions in the Pittsburg Dis
trict is regarded as almost a foregone
conclusion by the Arbitration Commis-
sioners, many operators have no conf1-
dence in the success of the plan. They
claim it is impossible to get the oper-
ators of the Pennsylvania Road to con-
sent to pay the same scale as may be
decided upon at the Pittsburg District.
THE last uniformity movement" said
one, was a humbug, and this attempt
will be the same The plan is all right
and De Armitt's position is all right,
but uniformity can never be established
in the Pittsburg District
The members of the joint board spent
the entire morning in discussing the
true uniformity as proposed by Presi-
dent de Armitt, and they believe that
the plan can soon be established Com
missioner Schmidt of Indiana said that
the Commissioners expected smooth
sailing now in bringing about a settle
ment.
''Of course there is much work still to
be done but there seems to be no queS-
ton that true uniformity can be OBJ
tanned. The uniformity plan proposes
that 90 per cent. of the operators of the
district sign an agreement to abolish
the company stores, pay cash wages ev-
cry two weeks and thus place a check
ON the men at the tipples.'
Secretary Bishop of Ohio said that
when the question was settled in Pitts
burg the rates in other mining States
would be easily adjusted.
General Little is enthusiastic over the
movement and said the list of oper-
ators favoring the uniformity plan will
be headed by Francis L. Robbins and
w. P. de Armitt, representing the larg-
est interests in the Pittsburg District.
1t is not the arbitrators intention. to
call meeting of the operators, as that
might open other sores and create a
clash would could not be subdued- The
operators are to be kept as far apart
as possible, and will only be asked to
sign the document and live up to the
agreement.
When this is accomplished, the min
ers' officials say that the price of min
ing can easily be settled on even a
higher basis than 60 cents. Pending
the negotiations the miners leaders will
continue their fight, and are determined
to keep all the mines closed until the
advance is generally granted or the diff
ferences settled ON the true uniformity
basis.
