MARION STUYVESANDT HELD.
Committed on Charge of Having
Murdered Major Wilson.

Philadelphia, Aug. 27--Marion Stuy-
vesandt. the colOred porter, was COM
mitted to prison today to await the ac-
tion of the grand jury at the conclusion
of the formal inquest into the murder of
Major William C. Wilson, which oc-
CURED on Aug. 16. at 1117 Walnut street.
The verdict of the coroner's jury was
that the victim of the murderous as
sault "came to his death at the hands
of a person or persons unknown to the
jury, the immediate cause of death be-
ing hemorrhage, resulting from vio-
lent beating"
Despite the clause in the verdict re-
lating to the unknown identity of the
perpetrators of the crime, there were
many points in the story told by Mar
ion Stuyvesandt that the testimony did
not substantiate. In consequence of
this. Coroner Ashbridge said he felt
warranted in committing the porter un-
til the latter could satisfy the grand
jury that he is entirely innocent of any
connection with the crime.

tempted suicide last night by cutting
his throat with a small penknife. He
was found in his cell by Officer Geller
this morning besmeared with blood
from head to foot. The knife had
penetrated his windpipe, and, as Geller
told the sergeant at the desk, "he was
breathing through his neck"
Several pieces of paper were strewn
about the cell, on which Dolan had
written paragraphs to the effect that
he was out of his mind and woke up to
find his throat cut. "She is the only
friend ] have in the world" was the
sentence on another piece of paper All
of the papers bore the impress of bloody
fingers, showing that the writing had
been done after the young man had
cut his throat.
Dolan was taken to Mercer hospital,
and it is believed will recover. He has
swinded over 100 persons here by TAX
ing subscriptions for papers of which
he claimed to be the agent.

Talk of the Archibald Man Being Sc
Iected for the Vacancy.

There was some talk about the streets
yesterday of John f. Flynn, of Arch
bald, the unsuccessful candidate for the
nomination for jury commissioner, be-
ing substituted for NJ. II. Griffin for
clerk of the courts.

strikers Are Again Marching.

Hazleton, Aug. 27.--The threatened
strike at Van Wickle's Coleraine and
Beaver Meadow colleries took place
This morning. The Hungarians and
Italians ..re masters of the situation,
and 1000 men are idle pending the de-
cision of the foreign element. Last
night the foreigners held meeting,
and at a late hour they visited the
homes of their countrymen, pulled them
out of bed and delivered the edict.
When the officials arrived at No. z coll
liery this morning they found the mine
door closed and a placard bearing the
word "Stragk' placed upon it, This
was the announcement of the strike.
Two hundred men marched to the
canal this morning, where they were
joined by 100 more. They then went to
the breaker. The bosses and coal and
iron police tried to stop them, but they
were hustled aside, and the breaker
was cleared. The carpenters and
blacksmiths were driven from the
shops and a squad of one hundred men
marched toward the Evans colliery.
1t is said that the strikers will invade
the Milnesville district this afternoon
The strikers are without an intelligent
leader, and their grievances are but
partially understood.
A meeting is called for this after
noon, when the demands will take for
NAL shape. The English-speaking
miners are not in the movement. but
they can do nothing at present
When the Coleraine strikers reached
Milnesville this afternoon after passing
through this city they drove the one
thousand men employed there from the
strippings and breakers, shutting down
the mines completely. The excitement
was intense. The streets We're crowded
with men and women, great crowds go
ing from this city to Milnesville with
the strikers. The mines here have been
the best in the hard coal region and the
only ones that have worked steadily
during the past year.
Tonight a meeting was held and the
Hungarians decided to stand by the
Coleraine workers for an increase of
wages. The dispatch relating to the
decision of the supreme court declar-
ing the alien tax law unconstitutional,
was read and loudly cheered. This tax
has figured conspicuously in the pres
ent strife. A joint meeting will be held
tomorrow. The EnglSh-Speaking min
ers would go to work at once, but the
foreigners are in large majority, and
will not permit it. 1t is stated tonight
that the uneasiness among the for
eigners employed by all other COM
panies-,- here is becoming prevalent.
While they have had no labor organi-
zation every man belongs to a society
which is said to have had the present
movement in hand.
The miners at Big Run and PunXsu-
tawney went on strike today in SYM
pathy with the ReynOldsville and Du-
Boies miners.
