Don't Care For Injunotions.

Pittsburg, Aug. 1.-the injunction
land Gas Coal company was read TO
President Dolan by a deputy at min
ers' headquarters. Mr.. Dolan says;
"The injunction will not change the
miners campaign in the least"
Ex-Nice President Cameron Miller
came into headquarters shortly after
the reading of the document to Dolan.
He said the miners will continue as
sible to keep miners from working
during the struggle for better wages.
1t is said that when the deputies do
start to enforce the injunction they
will be compelled to arrest every man
for contempt and hat as fast as the
men are placed in Jail others will be
brought into camp to take their places
and thus the deputies will be kept
busy making arrests until the iails are
overcrowded.
1t is claimed by the strikers that
this movement of the company is only
another plan for fetching the militia
on the ground. When they find that
the miners will not obey the injunction
and that the jails are becoming crowd
ed in this manner, it is expected that
the sheriff will adiudge that his dcpu-
ties are not sufficient to cope with the
situation, and he will be constrained to
call out the militia. This is the view
of the situation taken by the leaders
of the strikers now in the camps.
Yesterday the strikers at Plum Creek
held n meeting and voted unanimously
to hold the fort, but not to resist ar
rest. The resolutions say that if one
man is arrested they will have to ar
rest all.
At 11:15 p, M. Sheriff Lowry and his
deputies, numbering 100, left Turtle
Creek for Plum Creek. The distance
is about twelve miles, and they expect
to be on hand before the strikers
march on Plum Creek. The sheriff is
determined to carry out the order Of
the court, and says he will surely ar
rest the leaders as soon as the march
begins. If new leaders are SUBSTITUTE
ed, they also will be gathered in.
While the big majority of the strik-
ers are willing to go to Jail unresist-
ingly there are avfew of theshotheuls
who have announced that they will
not be taken alive. This minority may
be the means of causing strife this
morning.

NO NEWS OF ANDREE GOOD NEWS
So Says Arctic Explorer Glider Re.
garding the Balloon

New York, Aug. 1s.-W. H. Glider,
the arctic explorer, says in a state
ment in the Journal that the fact of
no news coming from Andree is good
news.
1.-THE fact is" he says, "that nobody
knows what has become Andree, and it
will probably be q long time before
anything definite is known, ever if he
should have succeeded in reaching the
pole and passing beyond to a point of
safety.
In the temperate zone the life of n
balloon scarcely enters into the ques-
ton of an aerial journey, for no such
long voyages as Andree proposed are
undertaken here, and if they were the
balloon could readily receive an addi-
tional supply of gas when enough had
escaped to render reinfation necessa-
ry. This. however, Andree cannon do;
he must complete his aerial flight with
one charge of gas.
"Andree is now beyond the reach of
communication, and it is not likely
that he will be heard from for many
moons. And this is especially true in
case he has beer successful."

HE RETURNS TO HIS HOME TO DIE
James s. Parson Who Wrecked the
Connecticut Life Insurance
COMPANY Retires.

New York, Aug. ia Herald's
Hartford, Conn.,, special says: James
S. Parsons, the fugitive president of
the Connecticut Life insurance COM
pany, has returned after ten years, a
penniless man., to pay his debt to ma
ture. 1t is said he has an incurablc
disease of the stomach and San live
but a short time. He has been living
in Canada since the wrecking of the
company, but for Il year or so his in
innate friends have known that he
was in Massachusetts, latterly in the
Boston hospital.
He appeared in Willimantic yester-
day, much aged and worn and could
not be recognized. He was taken in a
carriage to his home, Windhamshire.
He is only 60 years old but his long ex-
lie and disease have wrought sad havoc
with his physique. He was hunted out
of the United States by the officers of
the law but returns in hope that he
may live his last in his own home.
State Insurance Commissioner Eras-
mus Fyler, began the prosecution
against him in 1887. 1t is believed that
Parsons defalcation amounted to
100000 or $15O,00O though what he
has done with the money is a mystery.
They found indictments for making
false returns to the insurance commits
sioner against him and against the
company's book keeper. Later, those
against the bookkeeper were quashed.
Parsons held a prominent place in
Connecticut and New York business
circles. The company, which was es-
tablished i'll 1864 on the accumulation
plan, had more than $4,000 policy hold
ers with a reported accumulation of
more than 81, 5O0,0OO. John r. Beck
and Lorin A. Cooke, who is now gov
ernor. were appointed receivers of the
company. With almost nothing to
start with. they succeeded in paying a
total of IL per cent to stockholders,
finally selling out for $125,000.

es. This meeting is called to consider
the question of a general strike. Ii

ccutive committee will, at a secret

There are 1900 cloakmakers in the
Metropolitan district, including about
5000 and girls. Some of the
latter are organized and will strike
with the men, and the rest, who are
employed as finishers, will be thrown
out of work by the strike.
a. Rosenberg, secretary of the
| United Brotherhood of C~loakmakers,
said today:
"The situation is serious. The peo-
pie are desperate from poverty and
unfair conditions, and they are so
much afraid of the golden chance of a
busy season slipping away that they
are ready TO strike without prepara-
ton. We are preparing the demands,
and if they are refused nothing can
avert the strike"

WORKING ON AN OHIO MURDER
Many Persons Suspected of the
Double Killing in Union


B~ellefontaine, o., Aug. 1s.-There
we're many detectives ut work here and
N Union township yesterday on the
enmors regarding the double murder
>ne week ago of David DERRICK and his
wife. While Tony Ford and Lew Deer
westcr are under arrest for the crime,
It is generally believed there are 9TH
ers who know something about it..
In connection with the rumors impli-
eating different neighbors, one man at
tempted suicide on his wife's grave
because he was suspected, and a wo;n-
an, after %brooding over the horror,
:ook morphine with suicidal intent.
Yesterday Mrs., Charles Spellman, a
relative of the Detricks, charged her
father-in-law, Mack Spellman, with
assault, and there wa talk of lynching
The father-in-law as well as Ford aud
Deerwester, but no violence is antici-
pated, although the excitement here is
intense.
The developments of the past week
have been such that many are nppre-
hensive of the result. The sensation

TO Mrs. William Ellsworth previous to
his arrest that he committed the dou-
bic murder. Ford low denies the con-
reSsion.
