JOE KEISER CAUGHT.
The Shenandoah Shell Game Man Arrested
at Nashville, Tenn.

Chief of Police Tosh yesterday afternoon
received a telegram from the Chief of Police
at Nashville, Tenn, stating that Joe Keiser,
the shell game man Of town, was under arrest
at that place. Keser had been fugitive
from this county since May 4th, last, and
during that time was chased to several parts
of the United States, including Baltimore,
Md, and Bay City, Michigan. Keiser is not
wanted at Nashville, but is under arrest there
pending requisition proceedings to bring him
to town. 1t is quite liEely that he will be
brought here by next Saturday, and then
taken to Pottsyille, where he will remain in
Jail until he can be tried, or until he makes
some settlement with the people who are
prosecuting him.
A year ago last June Forepaugh's circus
gave an exhibition at Pottsville and Keiser
and a gang operated a shell game on the
road leading to the grounds Among the
victims was a man named Schultz, of Miners
vile. 1t is alleged that the victim refused
TO pay up when he lost and that Keiser held
him while twenty dollars was taken from
the man. A charge of assault and highway
robbery was lodged against Keiser, but he
skipped from Pottsville before the warrant
could be served A few weeks later he was
arrested at Hazleton and friend gave
| 81 800 bail at Pottsville. Keiser succeeded
in getting the case postponed several times.
1t looked as if the trial would have to pro-
ceed in the May term and on the 4th Of that
month Keiser skipped, leaving his bondsman
in the consomme. The latter was not dis
posed to forfeit 81 800 without an effort to
make his man toe the scratch, however, and
steps we're taken TO run Keiser down An old
photograph Of the man was secured and
duplicates forwarded to several police and
detective headquarters in the United States.
Once KeiseT was tracked TO Baltimore, but
the clue failed. A few weeks ago Detective
Amour went to Michigan and Keiser was
traced to Bay City, but he disappeared
to the lumber region. Keiser was
posted by one Of his gang and left
Michigan. He then sought peace and
safety in the South. He arrived at Nashville
yesterday and was in the city but few hours
when one of the detectives Of the place,
recognizing the crook through the aid Of one
Of the photographs sent out from here,
effected an arrest.

Special to EVENING HERALD.
HAzLEroN, Sept. s.-The striking miners
this morning resumed their marching start
ing from Bunker HILL They first visited the
Coleraine colliery, but work was stopped be-
fore they arrived The colliery of Evans &
Co. was next visited and work stopped. This
afternoon the line of march is directed TO-
wards the Coke collieries. There has been
no attempts at violence or clash with the
authorities.
The committee from the Yorktown collery
we're notified yesterday that General Super
intendent Lathrop would meet them during
the day, but word arrived later that he could
not be present. He will likely meet the
Jeanesyille and Yorktown committee to-day
or tomorrow. The grievance committee
waited patiently for an answer all day yes
terday but failed to receive any. It is pos
sible that the officials are arranging a scale of
wages to present.
The Cross Creek Coal Company, at Beaver
Meadow, in anticipation of trouble from the
strikers on their operations, have posted
notices that trespassing on their private roads
is prohibited. A copy of Sheriff Setzer's
proclamation is put up with the notices. The
officials have taken precaution against a
strike of their men, particularly stripping
hands, and many of them have been advanced
10 per cent. in their daily wages. There is
no dissatisfaction existing among these en-
poyes, aud the prospects Of a strike among
them is decidedly remote. All receive their
pay semi-monthly, and as they have no
company store or butcher to deal with they
seem to be contented with their lot
At 245 yesterday afternoon a mob of
Italians and Hungarians gathered at EbeI-
vale, but dispersed when the deputies arrived
without injury to any of the men. John
Scott, the superintendent, made this state

that cannot be misunderstood They pro-
nounce his attraction one of the brightest,
most elegant, pleasing, refined and varied in
the minstrel line Special scenery is carried
for their first part and for every part Of their
refined program, and their large solo or
chestra provides all that can be desired in
the way of captivating music. This attrac-
ton will appear at Ferguson's theatre on
September 1lth. Admissions have been
placed at the remarkably low figures, 10, e5,
S5 and 90 cents and seats can be had at

THE TEACHERS ASSOCIATION.
Wake County Teachers Urged to Attend
the Next Meeting.

On account of the small attendance
upon the meeting Of the Wake County
Teachers Association Saturday, the
work of organization was not COM
pleted, as had been intended.
A constitution and bylaws were
adopted, but no officers were chosen.
This will be done at the next meeting,
the second Saturday in January. Super
visor Norris declined, for several rea-
sons, to become president of the associa-
ton, and in this action State Superin-
tendent Mebane, who was present en-
dorsed him.
1t is desired to make it in truth n
teachers'-and not an officers'-associa,
ton, the objects of which, as set forth
in the constitution, are Improvement
of it's members in the science of teach
ing and in the most improved methods
and practices; the diffusion of informa-
ton upon the system of common-school
education among the people; promoting
harmony Of feeling and action between
teachers, school officers and people; the
greatest possible advancement in gen
eral information; the cultivation of So
cial virtues, and the great principle of
the brotherhood of the human race
among it's members"
An effort will be made to get all the
leading teachers in the county interested
in the association and secure their at
tendance at the next meeting. 1t is
very important that they do this and
select the most energetic and wide
awake teachers in the county as officers
Of the association, in order to make it
success.
wake county," said Superintendent
Mebane yesterday, fought to have
large association. Now is the time for
the teachers to act. This is not tx be
an association of the Supervisor or the
State Superintendent, but an association
Of the teachers in the county who will
come and join will have voice in the
selection Of its officers. A teacher who
has not this much interest in the pro-
fession ought to quit teaching and do
something else"
