OF the company have been at work
among the strikers for over week, and,
although they have induced some to re-
turn, the result has been disappointing

of the men in full sympathy with the de-
mand of 69 cents, while the remainder
were afraid to go to work.

HIGH FLYER VANISHEs.
Felfs Abandens His Aerial Trip from
BIke,s Peak to Colorado Snrincs

MANITOU. Col, Aug. 1e 1Ss7.-William
B. Felts has mysteriously disappeared
His flying machine with which he was to
have attempted the flight from Pixies
Peak to Colorado Springs is still housed
on the top of the Peak. There have been
rumors that Felts' nerve was becoming
shaky, which was offset by statements
from the professor that he was waiting
for clear day.
F'elts went down the mountain side Fri
day afternoon, stating that he was going
for walk, since which time nothing
has been seen or heard of him. His
friends say he probably has lost his way
in the wilderness west of the Peak and
may have fallen down a precipice and
been killed or injured
They have been searching for him since
Friday. The majority, however, are
skeptical enough to believe that the pro-
fessor had not sufficient faith in his own
invention.
While they acknowledged that condi-
tions have been unfavorable they think
the incident which has created SO much
excitement for the past two weeks is
closed,

Investigated and the examination into
the conditions of the begging class has

most all of these apparently INDECENT
persons carried with them large sums OF
money, ranging from $50 to $500. One

books showing that he had $500 to his
credit in bank. Permission to- beg In
front of st. Peters Cathedral can onls
be obtained through great deal Of in-
f1uence, and what such a permit is worth
is best evidenced by that old beggar who
recently died and left to each OF his
seven daughters the snug sum of

is, becomes apparent by the number of

DANGER AT HONEY BROOK
Large Increase in the Number
of Strikers Armed Po-
lice on Guard.

HAZELTON, Pa, Aug. 16, 1897. MATTERS
at the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre .collieries
in the Honey Brook District are growing
serious. Thirty-five drivers went out on
Saturday for an increase in wages. This
morning $500 miners joined them and the
usually quiet south side towns are in
state of subdued excitement. The Ital-
ians and Hungarians which were the last
to go out are the most aggressive, and
fears are entertained that they cannot be
controlled. The men had no organization
but branch of the United Mine Workers
Association was started this morning, and
six hundred men at once signified their
willingness to join.
Chief Organizer Fahey, Of Pottsville,
was sent for this morning and is expect
ed to be on hand this evening. The men
held meeting last night in Mahalchik's
Hall and there decided to make the strike
general this morning. The entire force
of coal and iron police. carrying Winches-
ter rifles, were on hand to guard the coll
lieries. The strikers assembled on the
hill above the works at Audenreid, and
a crowd of three hundred men marched
past the deputies to the breaker. At a
given signal the men at work left their
guarded by strikers and taken past the
deputies, who did not attempt to molest
the men. Interference by the deputies
would, it is believed, have precipitatea a
riot, as the men were determined and
armed
The collieries now idle are:-Audenreid,
Nos sand 10; Honey Brook, Nos. 5 and
10; Hunky Dory Green Mountain. and
Tresckow. The latter colliery, two miles
east of Green Mountain. The strikers
marched to this point after stopping at
the Andenreid collieries and escorted the
workers back with them. A body of four
hundred men then marched to the Mahal-
chik Hall. where meeting was held. and
the strikers dispersed until this after
noon.
The feeling is now so bitter against
Superintendent Jones that he himself
fears bodily harm, and moves about with
an armed escort His house is guarded
day and night. Superintendent Jones this
morning of1ered to meet the demands of
the drivers but the men are now deter
mined to have all their grievances heard
and will appeal to the Lehigh and Wilkes
Barre officers in New York. Besides the
wage question, they are demanding the
discharge of Superintendent Jones or his
transfer. This morning some of the
workmen We're given five days to leave
the company's houses. The situation is
row critical and an outbreak is likely to
occur.

LEGION OF HONOR IN COURT.
A Member seeks 10 Upset tho Recent
Change In Cia.sificatfon.


The validity of the action recently taxi
en- by the Supreme Council of the Ameri-
can Legion of Honor in dividing the order
into two classes, A and B, is TO be tested
in the United States courts. Lawyer
Alexander Simpson of this city, acting
for James McNamara.ea member OF Ever
Faithful Council, has filed bill in the
United states Circuit Court for the dis
trict of Massachusetts. asking that the
Supreme Council of Boston be declared a
trustee for the benefit Of all persons in
sured by said Supreme Council, and that
a receiver be appointed for all monies
held by the Supreme Council and collect
ed through assessments levied on the
members of the order. The bill also asks
that the Supreme Council be enjoined
from separating the monies received from
assessments into two parts as is now
done.
The bill sets forth that when McNamaGa
joined the Legion of Honor each life in
surance certificate issued was a charge
upon all monies received from assess
ments and the number of deaths regulat-
ed the number of assessments called. On
December /, 1896. the Supreme Council
divided the persons holding insurance
contracts into two classes and held the
assessments from each class separate.
Each class is now only charged with the
payment of contracts of members of that
class and thus the spirit of the original
contract has been changed without the
consent of the members and the numbers
of assessments is increased. subpoena
has been served on the officers OF the
Supreme Council and argument will be
heard at the September term of court.
