Sensational Developments Follow
ing a Double Murder.
Rellefontaine, Ohio, Aug. 17.-There
are many detectives at work here and
in Union township on the rumors re-.
garding the double murder a week ago
Of David DERRICK and his wife. While
Tony Ford and Lew Deerwester are
under arrest for the crime it is gener-
ally believed there are others who
know something about it. In connec-
ton with the rumors duplicating diff
ferent neighbors. One man attempted
suicide on his wife's grave because he
was suspected, and woman, after
brooding over the horror, took NOR
phine with suicidal intent. Yesterday
Mrs. Charles Spellman, a relative of
the Detricks, charged her father-in-
law. Mack Spellman, with criminal as
sault, and there was talk of lynching
the father-in-law. The DEVELOPMENTS
OF the past week have been such that
many are apprehensive of the result.
The sensation now is the alleged con-
fession of Ford to Mrs. William ELS
worth, previous to his arrest, that he
committed the double murder. Ford
denies the confession.

An An EV E.NTFUL DAY
EXCITING INCIDENTS ATTENDING
THE MINERS STIKE.
Mutiny In the Strikers Camp, a MUIR
der I'm the Deputies Ranks and
the Injunction Hearing Make the
Day nm Exceedingly Lively One
Criminal and Civil Suits Against
the De Ar,nttts-Some Surprises
i'm Store. 4 lis.

Pittsburg, Aug. II. - The day was
fraught with exciting incidents in mat
tiers pertaining to the miners strike.
Mutlny in the strikers camp, a MUIR
der in the deputies ranks, filing Of
criminal and civil suits against the
De Armltts and the hearing in the in
junction case against President Dolan
and others kept both sides to the
struggle busy and on the qui vive all
day long. -.
The hearing in the Injunction case
before Judges Stowe and Collier was,
perhaps, one of the most important
and interesting ever held in a Penn
sylvania court. 1t was a hearing in
which both capital and the rights of
labor were interested, and the decision
is expected to have telling effect on
the conduct of the great coal miners
strike which has been on since July 5.
From the testimony adduced and from
the expressions of the court it can
safely be said that there will be some
surprises. That the injunction will be
materially modified there can be no
doubt, which, on it's face, would indi-
cate Il victory for the strikers. The
preliminary decree has been continued
pending a consultation of the Judges.
Judge Collier said in court that the
strike would go down in history as
one of the wonders Of the country, and
remarkable on account of the utter
lack of disorder, for which the strikers
are commended and have the sympa-
thy of the court. Said he:
'"There can be no question as to what
our duty is under all the testimony,
but l am somewhat in doubt as to
whether or not the order should be
modified. We cannot determine this
without consultations
Judge Stowe said: This Injunction
will not justify the issuing of an at
tachment against any marchers who
are not found in company with the
men named in the Injunction
He let it be understood that the in
junction is not so sweeping as has
been thought; that only the five men
AIMED in the writ are restrained from
marching or trespassing on the COM
pany property. :
AS near as can be learned the strik.
ers under the injunction can march,
but not at stated times, as long as they
are not in company with any of these
defendants.

"A Texas paper says that Texas
is still third in hogs, of all the
states in the Union. In few years
she will be first Iowa now comes
first with 3,737,970, Missouri next
with 3,O74,329, and Texas third with
2,944,065. Texas has $50, 4O3 more hogs
than Ohio, 694,664 more than Illinois,
1,2S4,343 more than Kansas and 1885,
1874 more than Nebraska. AS COM
pared with last year Iowa shows a de-
crease of ,1,116,537, Missouri a de-
crease Of 95,0S2, Ohio a decrease of
171,964, Illinois decrease of 1859,
Kansas decrease of 1876, Nebraska
a decrease of 25,795 and Texas a de-
crease of 91,054, which shows that this
good state is still in the business of
raising hogs, and with this years feed
crop this will be amply demonstrated.

San Francisco, Aug. II. - Henry
Gable, an old and experienced miner,
who was one of the first to join the
rush to the Klondyke, has returned
and tells a story. calculated to deter
others from going north in search of
gold. There is hardly trail in Cali

with which Gable is not familiar.
when the news of the gold strikes
reached this country he determined to
seek his fortune in the Yukon. He left
his mines in Arizona and came to San
Francisco. Here he bought his out
lit and supplies and left on the Una
tilla three weeks ago en- route for the
Klondyke via Juneau and the Chill
coot pass. Now he is back, having
sold his outfit. He learned from many
experienced mining men at Juneau and
further up that it would be suicide to
go before spring. He says:

Which is little way from Dyea. I
gave up the idea. I left the vessel, in

water which fills the mines. The

One of the greatest storekeepers in

terms a store cadet school for boys in
his employ. All the boys between GER

evenings in the week, and on school
evenings supper is furnished free to
the boys. The studies are similar to
those pursued in business colleges, with
instruction also in physical exercises.

A senator in congress has proposed

such an implication against former oc-

missed as unworthy of credence But
it is presumable that Senator Hale
knew what he was doing when he pro-
posed the amendment, and if it does
not become q rule, more is the pity.
