there was a resemblance 10 Edwards. lie

hearts and n blue cross tattooed ON his left

Mrs. Murray thought the body was that OF
Edwards from, the resemblance Of the hands
and the short nails which, she said. were
stained like a photographer's would DO with
pyrogallic acid. The little girl thought she
recognized the hands.

P~rrTsBURG. Pa, Aug. 27.-The first attempt
OF the coal operators to carry out their intention
of reopening the mines was made to-day. Tho
Snowdcn and Gastonville mines OF the New
York and Cleveland Gas Coal Company wcro
the ones at which the attempt was made. They
belong to the Pittsburg and Chicago Gas Coal
Company. and are on the Wheeling Division of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. The nit
bosses went into the mines early. and a few
imported men were smuggled in. No coal was
brought out, and 1t Is supposed the first day
was devoted to giving instructions to the new
men.
The owners of the Montana mine, in the Fair.
mont. w. Va, district, to-day succeeded in So
curing an order for 2oO.o 600 tons of coal for the
lake trade. For years the men who gave their
order have been getting their coal from this dis
trict. Pittsburg operators find that the West
Virginia producers have raised the price for
coal. They now charge the Pittsburg men S1.25
a ton for filling orders for the lake trade. James
Jones & Sons have announced that they win pay
80 cents a ton for coal at their Gatsburg and
will mines.
The Robbins Coal Company hired a lot Of men
to load a lot Of coal slack on cars to-day at
Sturgeon. A number of women. wives and
daughters of strikers. stoned the men and drove
them away.
Sheriff Lowry was in consultation Yesterday
with bis attorney, X. Il. Petty, and afterward
announced that his counsel had interpreted the
