Un.arthed In GIImsr County--HsAd ofah
Arabian Woman, who was PeddlinE,
Found by Girl.
CLARKsBURG, W. Va, Aug. pa
short time ago an Arabian woman
passed through this place peddling no.
tlons. She was next heard from at
Glenville, Gilmer county, from which
place she disappeared, and II is now
thought she was murdered, as young
girl named Roberts, living at Yellow
Creek. Gilmer county. reported that
while passing through the woods on her
way home from town, she found head
lying In the path.
She says the hair was long and black,
that there were rings in the ears, and a
ribbon tied around the neck; near
where the head lay was smouldering a
brush fire. While she was looking at
the hend in fear and amazement. a
strange man suddenly issued from the
woods and commanded her to begone,
or he would settle her.
She reached home badly frightened
and told what had occurred, and a
party was at once formed and went to
the spot and found the remains OF the
Gre. and detected horrible stencil, but
could find nothing OF the man seen by
the girl. The description given by the
girl OF the head fits that of the missing
Arabian woman, and as 1t is known
that she had several dollars in her pos
session, there seems to be no doubt
that she was robbed and murdered,

has been received here from the frontier.
An attack has been made on Shinwiri.

force was repulsed, losing five killed and
many wounded There Is considerable
excitement among the tribes along the
Bolan route to Quetta, and the telegraph
wires have again been cut. 1t Is reported
that the tribesmen are gathering near
the ZIaret sanitarium, and much anx-
iety is felt regarding the safety of the
women and children there, as the rail-
way officials are asking for military pro-
lection for their property, II the route
Is considered safe the women and chill
dren at the saHttarium will be brought
away. but otherwise the troops Will be
sent from Quetta TO protect them.
The general idea here Is that II further
delay occurs in furnishing the Afridis, for
which purpose at least twenty Thousand
men are required, there will be n general

To Striking Hlners at Dubols-hsaump-
tion ofWorlx ProbIsmAtieNI.
DUBOIS, Pa, Aug. 29.-General Man
ager Robinson to-day issued circular
to the Rochester and London striking
miners, in which he grants an advance
to forty cents per net ton and gives the
company's side of the controversy, on
Tuesday, after the committee notified
Mr.. Robinson that the miners here had
decided to strike, Notwithstanding his
request for them to work until Satur-
day, when he would reply to their de-
mand for an advance, he told them he
would have no further communication
with Dubois. In his circular to-day he
says he deems It his duty to send them
communication, as they have been
mlsled and mlsinformed. After explain-
Ing the position of the company and its
efforts to obtain contracts, Mr.. Robin
son says: 1.-THE effect OF the lost ton
mage you will feel Tong after these agi-
tators, with incorrect and careless state
ments of facts, have disappeared"
The circular also contains the state
ment that the Pittsburgh miners are
working under the scale OF fifty-four
cents for screened coal The forty
cent rate here is in the same proportion
as the sixty-nine cent in the Pittsburgh
region, The granting OF the advance
asked should logically result in imme-
diate resumption. Nothing definite can
be stated until the miners taye receiy-
ed the communications and acted upon
It.
