Justified in Killing His Father.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. s.-Robert Meyer, the 17-year-old boy who last week shot and killed his father, Michael Meyer, at 154 Marion street, was exonerated by coroner's jury at an inquest held yesterday. The announcement of the verdict had the effect of making the boy and his mother and sisters hyster- ical with joy. It is not probable that any action will be taken against the boy in the courts, as the evidence at the inquest proved conclusively that the father was the aggressor, and com pelled his son to shoot him.

WORLDS GRAIN STORAGE.
c. Wood Davis, the Statistician, Predicts
 Materially Higher Prieea.

TOPEKA, Kan, Sept. sc. Wood Davis, the state statistician, made his first estimate yesterday of the grain condition of the present year. He finds that the shortage throughout the world is greater than in any year since 1881. In the meantime, more than 9O,- O00, ,O00 new mouths have been opened among the bread-eating races of Euro pean lineage, and these new mouths require about 5s0, GOO, GOO bushels of wheat and rye. The most liberal esti- mate of the wheat crop from data now available shows product of less than that of last year in the measure of 250,- 900, 900 bushels. On this basis Mir. Davis predicts that wheat and other grain will advance materially in price before the end of the year, and he urges wheat-growers to take advantage of the situation.

 Delegates Confer.

PITTSBURGH, Pa., Sept. 6.-When the news that evictions from the houses of the Pittsburgh X Chicago Coal Co at Orangeville were to be attempted, all of the strikers about Finleyville, Gas tonville and Orangeville became ex- cited and gathered at that place. Twenty deputies from Washington, Pa, reached Finleyville and were met by large crowd of strikers and their friends. Each deputy was armed with Winchester rife and a revolver, but the strikers, headed by 100 Polish women, closed in and the deputies were gradually forced back. and finally re- treated to Gastouville, where they were followed by about 200 men and women. At Gastonville the deputies took refuge in the office of the com pany, where they were kept all night. during which the building was bonn harded with stones and bricks and an occasional shot was fired. At seven o'clock this morning the deputies rushed out of their besieged quarters, each one carrying his Winchester in his hands and having his re- volver exposed, but headed by the women the strikers rushed upon the deputies with stones, clubs and pick handles and blows fell thick and fast. By this time 1000 men, women and children had joined the crowd. The deputies slowly made their way to Orangeville without firing shot. They finally took refuge in vacant house, closely followed by the mob, which quickly sur rounded the building and threat ened to burn it. Finally one of the strikers approached the house and conference was held. The deputies were ordered to leave town and after a short barley decided to do so They emerged from the house badly scared lot of men and walking between the opened ranks of the strikers, started for Gastonville. Almost every man in the posse was cut and bleeding and several were seriously hurt.

 PITTSBURGH, Pa, Sept. S.--The con vention of Pittsburgh district miners to elect delegates to the national con vention at Columbus, O., Wednesday to consider and determine whether or hob bHc pIOpOSltlOu tildJ Juc miners re- turn to work at flat rate of 65 cents per ton be accepted assembled here with nearly 100 delegates, represent ing every mine in the district, attend ing. The delegates are divided upon the question of accepting the G cents CT standing out for the 69-cent rate, but it Is thought the influence of the lead CTS will result in declaration for the compromise rate.
 President Doian stated that the acceptance of the 65-cent rate by the miners did not necessarily carry with it the complete ending of the strike. At the mines of the New York & Cleve- land Gas Coal Co.,, camps would still be maintained and the strike vigorously continued. Similar action would be taken in the case of all mines through out the district that should refuse to pay the rate agreed upon at the Colum- bus conventiOn

BALTIMORE, Md, Sept. S.-Pennsyl- vania railroad men say that the ex- pertinent of using oil on the roadbed to allay the dust nuisance has proven highly satisfactory on the 13 miles of road of the Washington line on which it has been tried. The work of oiling the entire 40 miles of roadbed between Baltimore and Washington will now be pushed to completion. To do this will require about 100000 gallons of the fluid.

PLENTY OF CoUNTERFEIrERs.
Uncle Sam's Secret Service Bureau Has a
 Surfeit of Bogus Money Cases.


 WAsHINGToN, Sept. S.-The United States secret service bureau is strug- gling with an epidemic of commercials. Hardly day passes without the arrest of from one to half dozen persons de- tected in passing spurious notes or sil- yer coin. It is evident that there is 8 large volume of counterfeit silver cer- tifcates of last years issue afioat, and that the circulation is contin- ually being diluted with that sort of material. When these cer- tifcates were first put out expert en- gravers predicted that counterfeiters would be tempted to resume activ- ities, and the result shows that they were not wrong in their prophecy. Government detectives have been in- structed to be on the watch for an ava lanche of bogus silver dollars, the tip having been given the treasury depart ment that move was being made for the minting of such dollars on large scale, the coin to have the same amount of silver as the genuine, and to be in exact similitude of the coin bearing the stamp of the United States mints Thus far the department has not been able to locate any of this that any of the bogus dollars of that sort are as yet in circulation, but that is no guarantee that the country may not at any time be flooded with them.

All the South Working to Prevent a
 Fever Epidemic.
STRICT PRECAUTIONS TAKEN
Boards of Health Devising Strict Sanitary and Quarantine Regulations-New Or leans Resents Being Quarantined-
 A Legislator Victim.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. s. = Every possible precaution is being taken not only here but throughout the south to prevent the spread of yellow fever from Ocean Springs, Miss, and vicinity. and to check it here, where one case has so far occurred The Louisiana board of health is holding daily meet ings and is devising strict sanitary and quarantine regulations At Mobile, Ala, loo persons from Scranton, Bi- loxi and other affected points on the midnight train were surrounded by police and only four passengers were let off, they being through from New Orleans and being subject to examina- tion by the physicians here. The others were taken on to point above here, where they were transferred to the est-bound train and sent back to their homes.
 The quarantine lines have been ex- tended to include Scranton, Miss, and all points as far as New Orleans. A state quarantine will probably be established tomorrow. Although the action of Mobile and Galveston in quarantining New Orleans is resented, there is no disposition here to re- taliate unless fever shall appear in one or both of those cities. Many small towns in Mississippi aud Louisiana nave quarantined against New Orleans, but the barriers are likely to be raised at once if no more cases develop here. Dr. H. A. Cant, of Water Valley, member of the state board of health, has taken charge of the situation at Ocean Springs and will spare neither pains nor money to stamp out the fever. He is of the opinion that with care and good man. agement this can be done in a few days.
 The state board of health has ordered strict quarantine against Ocean Springs Before and other places in the vicinity, and Dr. Walmsley, president of the board, announces that he and his colleagues have no fear of the fever spreading, saying that the board is prepared to spend S1, ,o0O, 900 to prevent an epidemic. Four cases from Ocean Springs arc under close inspection of ten leading physicians and all doctors have been ordered to report all sus- picious eases.

Referring to the plan to convert Fort
Marcy into q national sanitarium to be
established and carried on by the Ameri-
can Invalid Aid society, of Boston, and
for which Delegate Catron hopes to get a
bill through congress in few days, a
Washington special dispatch to the Globe
Democrat has this:
"The old adobe buildings used for Off
GERS quarters and barracks at Fort
Marcy are fast falling to pieces. The
Boston society proposes to repair these
buildings and accommodate forty or fifty
patients in them at the outset, but even
tnally new and modern structures will be
erected. The four acres which it is pro-
posed to give to the society ortright will
be used as sight for these new buildings.
The society will have to demonstrate to
congress within two years its ability to
erect and maintain suitable sanitarium
or the land will revert to the government.
"The project has the Endorsement of a
large number of physicians, who declare
Santa Fe to be the best climate in the
world for consumptives."
