Crank Supposed to Have Had Designs on

III the Life OF the President.
WASHINGTON, Sept. %. Joseph
Bloomfield Jackson, who is said to be
a crank from Meridcn, Conn, was ar
rested at the door Of the White House
after an unsuccessful attempt to en-
ter the executive mansion Jackson
was heavily armed. He has been in
the city several days and at the Ra-
leigh house, where he has been stop
ping made mysterious boasts as to
what he was going to do to high offic-
ials Of the government. He sent u
letter to local newspaper containing
similar threats. He has been under
espionage several days and is now be-
hind the bars. Officers thought moth
ing of the arrest until on searching
him they found a loaded revolver. On
ly a charge of vagrancy and carrying
concealed weapons can be made
against him and his treatment will
not be materially different than that
given to hundreds other cranks remov.
ed from the White House grounds
without disturbance, but neverthe-
less, there is q fear and belief,
that Major Mckinley might, had he
driven out in the afternoon, instead OF
being closeted with visitors, have been
attacked and perhaps shot as he en-
tered his carriage. 1t is thought that
Jackson's mind is unba lanced.

MINERS GO TO WORK.

The Great Strike IL Oniclally at an End.
PITTsBURG, Sept. 22.-The bitumin-
GUS coal miners strike is officially at
an end. The ten days which the min
ers should remain idle have ended and
the 1901 900 men who have been idle
for eleven weeks, resumed work at an
advance of 20 per cent on their wages.
Desultory fights will be continued, but
the most interesting one will be the
fight IN the New York and Cleveland
Gas Coal Company, as it is the ambi-
ton of the miners to make that COM
pany pay 65 cents ton. The task is
admitted to be hard one. The min
ers got practically all they asked for,
and more than the conservative men,
bers expected. All the miners in the
Pittsburg district, where The price has
been accorded have gone to work.
The operators are getting all the cars
they need and the mines are making
