As was the case In the matter o.:
wells completed and new production,
Mannlngton leads In this table for the
same reason Us In the first one. All OF
the Elk Fork new work Is contained In
the figures credited to that section.
The reports for the month especially
In all OF the fields outside of Elk Fork
are to the effect that nearly all the op-
orators are curtaillng their work MS
much as possible. The reason OF this is
the decline In the price Of oil. During
July oil fell between twenty and twen-
ty-flve cents ON the barrel and this had
the effect above mentioned, and viii
have u great deal to do toward curtail-
ing the total amount Of the production
for the present month. Il is only those
who are drilling In gushcr territory
that can afford to put wells down on n
seventy cent market and the rest OF the
operators viii not attempt TO do q
great deal OF work unless the price goes
UP, which Is not at oil likely, as the to-
tai production now exceeds the con-
sumption to large extent according
to the report Of the pipe line companies.

HUNTINGTON, W. Va, Aug. 81
Every colllery on the line of the Norfolk
& Western railroad was in operation to-
day, and the output OF coal has been
fully as large as any day previous during
the strike. Not over 800 idle miners are
in the field, and they are in the Flat Top
region and would be willing to go to
work any day the operators are willing.
No sympathy meetings were held in
any Of the coal fields on the line, and not
a single strike agitator Is in this section.
None Of the labor unions held meetings
here to-day, as requested. from the fact
that their sympathy Is not with the
strikers, at this time. It Is now known
for certainty that the miners In this
part of the state cannot be induced to
quit work, as they and all the operators
are on the best OF terms.

THHEATENS PRESID EN1's LIEE.
Kansas Man Says, "I May Become q
Second GuiteauD

Chicago, Oct. 26.-"If do not get my
just deserts, I may become second
Guiteau, and there will be serious
trouble for President Mckinley" said
a man who gave the name of George
Solder to-day. Solder said a few days
ago he was the owner of a large tract
of land in eastern Kansas. He was
swindled out Of it through litigation,
and now he wants the president to as
sist him in regaining the property. He
said he had come to Chicago in the
hope of securing the sympathy of some
prominent attorney, but had been I'M
successful and was almost discouraged
He had called on Senator Mason in or
der to persuade the latter to assist him
in securing what he wanted from the
president.
The senator is not in the city Anoth-
er appointment was made and detec-
tives were sent for but he did not show
up again. He has been in Chicago
three weeks, penniless and on the verge
of starvation. He said he had a daugh-
ter living in Fort Scott, Kansas, and if
he did not go to Washington he would
return to Kansas.

CADWALADER BADLY INJURED.
Shoulder Wrenched-May Not Play Any
More This Season.

Yale luck, Of which so much has been
said and written, will have to manifest
itself to a considerable degree for the
rest of the present football season, or
Yales chances for winning either of
the big contests with Harvard and
Princeton will be far from encouraging.
Up to this week the various candidates
had been quite fortunate in the way of
avoiding any serious accidents, but big
Cadwalader was so severely injured in
the practice game on Monday after
noon that he will be laid up for at least
two weeks, and it is almost hoping
against hope to count upon his appear
ing upon the football field any more
this season.
During Mondays practice Heffe1fing-
er lined up on the college team against
him. He was in consequence worked
very hard, and at the end of the first
half he complained of pain in his
right shoulder The matter was then
thought to be of little consequence, but
he was not played any more that after
noon.
At the gym he was given the usual
rundown. An examination of the
shoulder gave no signs of the injury
being anything of a serious nature, and
it was thought to be little more than a
bad bruise. Instead of improving 1t
grew worse until yesterday morning,
when a thorough examination was
made and it was found that the shoul-
der was very badly wrenched.
The doctors in attendance say that
this sort of an injury is just as bad as
a broken bone, and may result even
more seriously. He will be laid UP at
least two weeks, and in all probability
the rest of the season.
This accident comes at an exceeding
ly inopportune time, and the absence
of Cadwalader will very seriously Grip
pie the Varsity eleven. His place will
be hard to fill, for the reason that more
attention has been paid to him for the
position of left guard than any other
candidate. He is by far the steadiest
man out, and his loss will be keenly
felt. The coaches have not yet decided
what man will be tried in the place
There are several, among whom are Nc
Farland and Chadwick
Yesterdays work was in the line OF
that inaugurated Monday, and it will
be continued all week. The rest of the
season will be devoted in the main tc
the Improvement of defensive work and
interference. The mass line plays will
be one of the new features upon which
much dependence for success will he
placed.

mate the loss and could not say just
now much money was on the car, but
lntimated that the amount had been
exaggerated.
Inc heavy engine was dragged out
OF the river tonight. The divers had
located the tender early in the after
noon and brought it up without its
trucks. When the engine came to the
surface of the river it was seen that
the front trucks were missing and that
the front of the boiler and the guards
were all smashed into an unrecognlza-
BILE mass. AS the great machine came
in sight one of the men on the lighter
saw clothes dangling from the front,
and when lanterns could be brought to
bear it was found that the rags COW
cred the body of Fireman Tompkins.
The body was wedged in front of the
boiler, where the engine number plate
is, and it had to be dragged out. It
was taken to train at once and sent
up to Cold Spring to the coroner's Of
flee.
If the raising of the trucks of the
engine and the tender in the morning
do not bring to light the bodies of En-
gineer Foyle and young Mckay dredges
will be put to work in the vicinity to
see whether they are buried in the
mud. All that remains as a reminder
of the wreck here now, with the excep-
ton of the wrecking machinery, are the
broken-up and burning cars on the riv-
er bank.
The fact that the front trucks of the
engine are yet in the river precludes
any possibility until tomorrow of de-
termining whether broken truck caus-
ed the accident.
Eighteen bodies so far have been re-
covered.
The work of repairing the roadbed
is progressing rapidly, and it will be
completed in a few days. In the mean
time there is little delay in traffic.
Poughkeepsie, N. Y, Oct. 26.-Body
No. II, which was found in the day
coach late this afternoon, was identified
at Cold Spring tonight as Isaac Rettin-
ger of Buffalo, thrty-two years of age,
dealer in eyeglasses.
Body No. IS, John @. Tompkins, fire
man, was shipped to Rennselar to-
night. He was thirty-four years old
and leaves a widow and two children
His ribs, leg and arm were found to be
broken
The unknown woman is still unidenti-
fled, but telegram of inquiry about
her description was received from
Cleveland tonight.
The body of the Italian will be claim
ed tomorrow by his wife, who lives at
Albion, N. Y. His correct name is
Guissipe Padnano.
The bodies of the eight Cinnamon
were tonight sent to New York, where
they will be buried by the Chinese So
ciety, the president of which claimed
them yesterday.

Hearings on Several Matters Held at Last
Nights Session.

The bureau of compensation last
evening held hearings on the assess
ments for the extension of Livingston
street, on the claim of the Edward H.
Wardwell company, and of the John T.
Doyle company for damages for the
change of grade on East Chapel street
made necessary by the building of the
bridge across the railroad just below
East street.
Attorney George M. Gum appeared
to represent Caroline Hoecksher, f. w.
Snyder and Mary c. Warren who own
property abutting on the proposed eX-
tension, Mr. Gum stated that the ex-
tension would not benefit in any way
his clients property, but, on the con-
trary, would damage them.
John It. Sloan appeared before the
bureau to assist Mr.. Gum in facts re-
Iating to the value of real estate in
that section of the city.
The Wardwell company claims dam
ages to the amount of about 81 500
caused by the building of d retaining
wall for the roadway leading to the
new Chapel street railroad bridge
which cut off the company's driveway
leading in from Chapel street En-
trance is now gained through the Gas
companys property, and in order to en-
ter by this way the Wardwell company
was obliged to cut off about three and
one-half feet from one of it's build
ings.
The claim of the John T. Doyle COM
pany is for about $4,000. John T. Doyle,
president of the company, and John J.
Fitzgerald, the secretary, appeared last
night in support of the claim.
The three matters We're tabled fol-
action in executive session after parties
had been heard. The members of the
bureau will, however, visit the localities
before taking action

REFLECTED ROY4L SUITOR.
Is Responsible for the Present Friction
Between Russia and Germany.

Berlin, Oct. 26.-The Frankfort Zeit-
ung gives as the reason of the cars
refusal to receive the grand duke and
grand duchess of Baden, at Darn
stadt, the fact that the crown prince
of Baden wooed the cZarina's sister
the present grand duchess Zergius of
Russia, but was rejected, and the mat
ter left GOODNESS amounting to ran
cor between the courts of Darmstadt
and Carlsruhe.
The czar, the paper mentioned adds,
evidently wished to show that he shares
the feeling of his wife and of the
Darmstadt court in this matter. A
semi-official statement issued from
Darmstadt to-day denies that there is
any political significance in the czar's
reply to the intimation conveyed to him
by the grand duke and duchess of
Baden that the latter would be pleased
to visit his majesty at Darmstadt, add
ing that the Russian emperor's answer
was bungled through the maladdroit-
ness of the officials concerned.

SUICIDE or JACOB REESE.


day Afternoon.
Jacob Reese, a man about thirty
years Of age, out of work and with no
settled place of abode, committed sui
eide by taking an ounce of carbolic acid
on lower Chapel street about o'clock
yesterday afternoon. Reese had been
drinking freely, and shortly after
o'clock purchased an ounce bottle full
of carbolic acid it is said, at the drug
store of Otto c. Marx, at 491 Chapel
street.
The next seen Of him he entered
Thomas Mems saloon at the corner of
Chapel and Hamilton streets. After
eating some from the free lunch count
er, he called for glass of beer. He
took the beer and had drunk about half
of it when suddenly he fell backward
upon the flood. Those in the saloon at
first thought that he had fallen be-
cause of intoxication, but when they
went to lift him up it was seen that he
was in agony and was i'll.
DR.. Arthur o. Baribault, who lives
just above the saloon, at 52S Chapel
street, was summoned and was soon on
the scene. He at once detected fumes
of carbolic acid and observing the
mans appearance saw at once, what
was the matter. His efforts at reliev-
ing Reese's agony and attempts to
save his life were unavailing, the poi
son having had ample time to do it's
deadly work before the unfortunate
mans condition was noticed by those
who saw him and before the physician
was summoned.
Soon after falling on the floor of the
saloon Reese breathed his last. Medi-
cal Examiner White was notified, and
after viewing the body and hearing the
circumstances attending the affair, he
pronounced it case of suicide. The
body was removed to Lewis & May
cocks undertaking rooms. About 8
o'clock last evening the body was iden-
titled as that Of Reese by one of his
friends, who called at the undertakers'
1t is supposed that Reese drank the
carbolic acid, which he purchased at
Marks drug store, somewhere on the
street between the drug store and
Mems saloon.

said to have been out of work for some
tlIIle. II 10 plopdple llidl ocopollucliCy

sulting from intoxication, prompted
him to his awful act. 1t was said last
| night that Reese had u brother living
on View street and a brother-in-law
employed on one of the street railroads.
1t was reported that the brother-in-
law was William Butler, a. motorman
employed by the Fair Haven and West
vile road, but Mr.. Butler stated this
morning that he was in no way re-
lated to Reese and did not even know
him. Another report was that William
Baker, motorman on the New Haven
| Street railroad was a Drother-in-law
but Mr.. Baker could not be found last
night to deny or corroborate the re-
| port.

The scene of the crime, the Church
of the Holy Redeemer, is in charge of
the Redemptorist fathers. The church
is large structure and runs from
Third street back to Fourth street. with
the entrance on Third street. Shortly
after midnight the burglar alarm in
the parish house awakened the priests
who notified Policemen Hoffman and
Smith The policemen ran into the
darkened church.
Policeman Hoffman went up as far
as the altar and began investigating,
while the murdered man went around
the altar to the girls school room, AS
he was entering the school room he
was shot. So near was the burglar to
Smith that his face was badly burned
by the powder. The bullet, which was
of a 3S-calibre, passed through the jaw
and came out from the back of the
| head.
| Hoffman hastened to his partners s
rescue and arrived to see a man break
the window and try to get out He
called to him to stop, and at the same
time yelled to crowd of citizens out
| side to stop the fellow. Charles VietZe
caught the burglar as he came out of
! the window and pinioned his arms.
| The man struggled desperately. Other
citizens hurried to Vietz's aid and grab
| bed the smoking revolver from the hand
of the murderer.
| 1t was several minutes before the fell
low gave up the fight. When the crowd
grew to large proportions they made
| an attempt to lynch the prisoner. A
squad of eleven policemen which ar

| could do to land the prisoner safely at
| the station. He was hit on the head
with stones and clubs by several people
| in the crowd.
| When he arrived at the police station
the prisoner was covered with blool

| the hands of the mob They smote
him with rocks, clubs and all sorts
of missiles and it is said that several
! of his bones are broken and it is
thought that he has received frac-
tured skull though no examination was
made up to 2 o'clock.
AT the station Captain Herley had
the fellow searched and Jimmy and a
steel blade eight inches long were found
on him. He is forty years old, five feet
seven inches tall and has a desperate
looking face. He is of sandy complex
| ion.
Policeman Smith was on the force
for over fifteen years and was one of
the best and most popular in the de-
| partment.
