indorsed by McCreary & Co, who had
evidently cashed it. This mornings
mail brought to the local house an in
voice and bill of lading for $500
worth of silk umbrellas from Weiner
q CO., of New York. A draft arrived

Cincinnati, Sept. II. A special
from Oswego, ON the Knoxville & Ohio
railroad in the Jellito coal mining dis
trict, gives an account of an encounter
last night between eight United States
marshals and the striking miners.
Yesterday nonunion miners were put

A mob came marching towards the
company's store. When they were or
dered by the marshals to halt, the
miners answered with oaths. They
were then ordered by the marshals to
leave the property, which they refused
to do. The marshals took refuge in a
blacksmith shop and fired upon the
mob. The miners retreated but re-
turned the fire with their Winchesters.
None of the marshals are hurt, but as
to the miners, the facts are not known.
The marshals fear serious trouble and
have asked for assistance.

Washington, Sept. 20.-It is proba-
Bile that within few days Attorney
General McKenna will announce the
course the government will pursue with
reference to the decree OF foreclosure in
the case OF the Union Pacific railroad.
1t can be said upon good authority that
the chances are very strongly against
the governments appealing from the
decree. The cabinet did not pass upon
the question definitely but, on the con-
trary. postponed final determination
upon it; but there was SO much said by
the various members in favor of allow
ing the sale to proceed that it is consid-
cred by those familiar with the matter
that there is little doubt as to what the
final decision will be.

Escape From Prosecution for Per-

Mrs. Florence Blythe Hinckley scored q
victory in Judge Hunts court yesterday
and all danger of punishment for alleged
contempt of court has disappeared.
Several DAYS ago Judge Hunt made an
order that Mrs. Hinck ey should appear
before notary public and give her depo-
sition in an action that was brought
against her by Thomas L Bergin, who
seeks TO collect $50, 900 attorney fees.
At the time OF the meeting in the no.
tary's office several prominent LAWYERS
met to question the fair lady. and they
were much chagrined when they found
that she had no intention OF attending
Charles S. Bartlett, process-server
sta ted tbat he had maze legal service OF
the summons on Mrs. Hinckley, and 10
this effect he swore in an affidavit fled
with the clerk of Judge Hunts court.
Thereupon an order was issued or Mrs.
Hinckey to come INTO court and show
cause why she should not be punished for
contempt. At preliminary hearing last
Friday Mrs. Hinckley's affidavit was read,
setting forth that she hau not been served
with a summons by Mr.. Bartlett or any
other person, and offe ring 10 submit her
self TO the will OF the court at sny time
that might be set Tor the hearing OF her
case.
Accordingly the matter was called up
yesterday and Mrs. Hinckley swore that
Bartlett did not see her on the day men,
toned in his affidavit of service, or at any
other time since the date of Judge Hunts
hrst order In this she was coIroborated
by two other witnesses.
Attorney w. II. H. Hart offered to call
others TO show that Mrs. Hinckley was
right, but Judge Hunt saio he was con-
ylnced that no service was made on Mrs.
Hlnckley in the matter of takin her dep
ositlon, and the order to show cause was
therefore dismissed.
In regard 10 Batlett the court remarked
that there was not sufficient corroborative
testimony to show tnat he had wilIfully
committed perjury, and so no proceedings
against Linn would be taken.
As Mrs. Hinckley left the courtroom
she was regularly served with a notice to
appear and give her deposition in accord
ance with Judge Hunts original order.
Her attorney, General Hart, said he had
no objection to this, but remarked that it
was unnecessary, as he stood ready to ac-

F. Charles AIpers led off by moving that
II be the sense OF the committee that a

which an expression of opinion would be
evoked on the question. This if nothing
more, would act. as a stiffening to the
backbones of the Supervisors in appoint
ing corps of-ciyil engineers to estimate
the expense and source of supply of fur
nishing water>to the City
ms motion was opposed by some OF
the egaSes, while others favored ii.
Max Pepper favored the practicability
OF using the waters Of the ocean and bay
Tor sewer flushing. street sprinkling and
extinguishing fires. If this were done a
considerable source OF the revenue of the
Spring Valley Water Company would
evaporate, and there by its estimate OF the
value OF its plant would *correspondineIy
fall away, and perhaps the City could
then buy the entire plant at much re-
dueed figure as compared with what is
now asked.
George R. Fletcher, president of the
Associated Clubs, favored this scneme.
h. II. Sherwood delegate from the
Board of Trade, favored the condemna-
ton OF the Spring Valley water plant. He
was of the opinion that to establish new
water supply the streets of the City would
be torn up for the next two years
DR.. Salfe d agreed with Mr.. Sherwood
Major b. McKinne favored the idea of
having the Supervisors call a special elec.
ton, for the purpose OF issuing bonds, by
which the City could own its own water.
Supervisor Rottanzi, who arrived at this
time, gave the committee some iniorma-
tion on the legal phase of the question
and the powers of the board to act.
g. r. Fletcher favored an appeal to the
people alta mass-meeting.
Phtl Fay strongly favored the mass
meeting theory, where men would not be
influenced by the Spring Valley Com
pany.
The motion was finally adopted that a
