burned in a fire caused by an explosion
Of gasoline. The injured are Peter
Veth, Mrs. Bessie Veth, his wife, and

ably recover. Mrs. Veth was cleaning
a brass bedstead with the fluid and her
husband struck match for the pur-
pose of lighting cigar. In an instant
there was an explosion, and the room
was filled with flames. The flames

Beaten to Death by Thieves.

New York, Aug. 9.--Louis Bawlasek,
ladies' tailor, So years old, was beaten
to death by three unknown men in
Sixteenth street. near First avenue, at
1915 o'clock yesterday morning. An
Italian barber who lives near the cor
ner saw the man attacked, and sum-
moned the police by rapping en- the
sidewalk. A policeman arrived in time
to see the three men run off in an OPP
posite direction. The beaten man was
lying dead on the pavement. The po-
lice decided that the man had been
sandbaaged, as his neck was broken
and his skull fractured. The police be-
lieve the man was attacked by mem
bers of the gas house gang, and that
they were frightened away before they
could rob their va,tim. A young man
named Daniel Kennedy is under ar
rest on suspicion.

Colorado Springs, Col, Aug. s.-Will-
lam B. Feltz did not take his jump
from Pixies Peak yesterday, but 1t
was not his fault. With the conditions
of cloud and fog it would have been a
blindfolded leap to certain destruction.
Feltz went up to the summit of the
peak in the morning, carrying his i'm
mense aeroplanes with him. Two hours
were required in adjusting the big
wings, but heavy clouds gathered, and
a slight snow falling at the time con-
WINGED him that a leap from the peak
would have been suicidal. Feltz is still
on the peak, and 1t Is said he will re-
main there until conditions are favor
able, when he will sail down into Col
orado Springs, u miles distant.

WOMEN AID THE STRIKERS.
They DO Effective Work Among the
Plum Creek Miners,

They DO Effective Work Among tho
Plum Creek Miners.
Pittsburg. Aug. 9.-Although yester-
day was considered day Of rest
among the strikers, probably the most
effective work among the Plum Creek
miners was performed, and as a re-
suit the strikers have been assured
that considerably less than 200 men
will be at work tomorrow in this mine.
A large mass meeting was held at
Camp Isolation, at Plum Creek. yes
terday afternoon, which. in addition
to about 1000 others, was attended by
about 200 women, the wives and daugh-
tiers of the miners still at work In the
Plum Creek mine. Notwithstanding
the fact that deputies visited the homes
Of these people In the morning, and ad-
vised them not to attend the meeting.
nearly every wife brought her husband
with her. Because Of the many re-
strictions put on the strikers, they have
hitherto been unable to get chance
to argue their cause with the Plum
Creek workmen, and the occasion given
them yesterday was taken advantage
Of to the full
The unusual opportunity yesterday
was the result of the missionary work
of the wives of the strikers from Nc
Donald, Fonleyville and Carnegie. These
women have been working assiduously
during the past week, and secured the
promise of the wives Of the working
miners to attend the meeting and bring
their husbands. The result Of the meet
ing was the assurance from nearly 100
men that they would join the strikers
today. The plan is for the men to work
until they receive their 20 days pay,
which will be given them today, and
then they are to desert the pit, leaving
only eight days wages back, which,
Judging by the action Of the company
in the case Of thu Sandy Creek strik-
ers on Saturday, will be reNlaed them.
If this plan does not miscarry. the
strikers think 1t will only be ques-
ton Of a very short time until the De
Armitt mines are tied up completely.
The meeting yesterday was inaugu
rated by religious services conducted
by Rev. Lincoln Lash, assisted by q
choir of 20 colored Jubilee singers, after
which Mrs. Mary Jones, the Chicago
agitator, spoke for about an hour, put
ting the case very plainly to the women
auditors. She placed the responsibility
for the success or failure Of the strike
on the wives, and made q decidedly
favorable impression.
