MISS MONTICELLO DENIES
The Truth of Story From Atlantic City
Recently Published.

The Truth of a Story From Atlantic City
Recently Published.
Jessie Monticello, of this city, de-
mics the truth of the story from At
lantic City, published Tuesday, con-
Germ the child for whose custody
there is fight between Miss Month
cello and Nora Lee. The former
legally adopted the child when it was
a few months old, and kept it with a
private family until last February,
when it was seized and taken back to
Pittsburg
Miss Monticello alleges that she has
not seen the little girl since, and that
she knew nothing Of it's whereabouts
until last week. At that time she
heard that the Lee woman had the
girl in Atlantic City, and that she
took the child into beer gardens and
questionable resorts. Miss Monticello
went to Atlantic City to assert her
legal right to the possession Of the
child, and interested the police in her
case, but she found that the girl had
been spirited away. She denies that
the child has been in her possession
since last February, or that she has
seen her since that time.

The local miners are more confident
than ever, since the news from Pitts
burg, that their object in the strike will
be speedily gained. A local leader
said yesterday that it would never be
settled, however, even pending an ar
bltration, on basis less than SO cents,
the amount demanded. This was the
point the miners were struggling for
and their only aim was to secure this
or nothing.
So far as this district is concerned
there is no doubt that as soon as an
agreement is reached between the lead
Ing operators and the national mine
offlcials that the scale price will be
given here, and all the mines in the
Wheeling district put in operation.
The mine officials referred to stated
that the operators in the Wheeling dis
trict had all along been willing to give
the SO cent rate, provided the Pittsburg
operators came to the same agreement,
bue as long as the Pennsylvania mine
owners refused they would be forced
to the wall in competition against low
er rates. If the general rate of 50
cents is paid this means a rate of 60
cents for West Virginia and Ohio min
ers, the difference being caused by the
various differences in expense of min
ing and in freight rates.
Previous to the strike the West Vir-
ginia miners were getting 81 cents per
ton.
The Wheeling district miners re all
thoroughly organized, and if the min
ers gain the strike committees will be
appointed to confer with individual OPP
orators for settlement. A special set
tlement will be made for each mine,
even after the scale is agreed upon by
the national miners organization and
the leading operators of the country,
then it remains for the miners of each
mine to get the owners to sign. In or
der for a general settlement to be made
the assurance will have to be given by
the coal operators that the rate agreed
upon will be everywhere, and in order
to secure this agreement the operators
will have to guarantee their pledge by
a sufficient number of operators to con-
troll the markets If any of the outside
operators then should refuse to pay
the rate then a pressure would be
brought to bear on them by the COM
rbined forces of the miners and organ
lied operators.
There has been no preparation by
the local miners to start to work in
expectation of an immediate settlement
of the strike.
The relief committees are still hard
at work getting provisions to sustain
the miners, who will need aid even af-
ter the strike is ended, and until they
get to working.
The following is the work of the re-
lief committee yesterday and the day
hofora.

The Italian who was suspected by Ba-

the injured man was accused of being

After the shooting a mob soon formed

by the enraged men. Miners lamps
were applied as torches to his body.
The arrival of the constable and depu-

THE PHILIPPINE REVOLT.
A Passenger from Manila Who
Thinks 1t Is Irrepressibic.

San Francisco, July 27.-Among the
passengers on the steamer China from
the Orient yesterday was II. ID. Levin
sohn, the representative in New Zea-
land of one of the largest sugar fac
tories in Manila. Mr. Levinsohn has
Just come from Manila, where. he says,
the insurrection of the natives is still
in progress. From present indications
and from all / could learn during my
sojourn in Manila" he said. "the Span
ish authorities will never be able to
subdue the insurrectionists. 1t Is a
common report in Manila that the
papers are not allowed to print the
truth. They are all under a press CEN
sorship. 1t was credibly reported in
this city shortly after a recent engage
ment that the natives had killed sixty
of the Spanish soldiers and lost only
two of their numbers. AS soon as the
rainy weather sets in, which will be
very shortly, you may have some fur
ther reports of hostilities, and the vic
tories will be on the side of the rebels.
"A regiment of Spanish soldiers came
into Manila from the interior during
my stay in the city, and they were the
saddest lot of men ! ever saw. Some
of them wore shoes and others did not.
Many were more or less distressed for
the want of proper clothes"

MILWAUKEE, CHURCH DIVIDED.
Pastor Married a White Woman and
aNegro, which Caused Strife.

Milwaukee. Wis, July 27.--There is
a bog row among the congregation of
Trinity Evangelical church of this city
over the fact that the minister per-
formed the marriage ceremony for a
white woman and a negro. The church
is one with the largest German mem
bership in this city. The Rev. George
Hertz has been at it's head for a num-
Der of years. The marriage took place
several months ago.
Friday night. at a largely attended
meeting, it was decided by many of
the flock to withdraw and establish
another church. The marriage took
place in the church, and a large num-
ber of the members of the congrega-
tion witnessed the ceremony. There
were demonstrations of disapproval,
cat calls and Kisses, but the minister
succeeded in restoring quiet. Yhe
young women of the church were es-
pecially indignant, and formed a soci-
ETY. in which every member pledged
herself not to be married in the
church. The leader in the revolt is a
Lutheran school-teacher who former
lived in Missouri.

Good Citizens of Milwaukee Accused
OF Drawing from Fire Tanks.

Milwaukee, Wis, July 27.-It has
been discovered that this city has been
robbed for some time by a number of
large manufacturing firms. Many
buildings in this city are provided with
water tanks on the roofs which are de-
signed to be used in case of fire. AS
this was esteemed to be for the public
good and an aid to the fire department
the city has never charged for the
water used to fill these tanks 1t has
now been discovered that many of the
firms have for Years been using water
from these tanks in their buildings.
The city attorney is now drawing
up an ordinance whereby the owners
of buildings must furnish a bond that
the water from the tanks will not be
stolen Among those who have been
guilty of this water-taX lodging are
men who have been active in the work
of the municipal league and who have
been loud in their denunciation of the
extravaganza of city officials.

AN OBNOXIOUS SUPERINTENDENT
The Feeling Against Mr.. Nicholson Is
Very Bitter--It Is Alleged That He
Deducts from Their Wages the
Price of One Car Out of Every Five.

Altoona, July 27.--Five hundred or
more miners at Hastings have gone out
on strike because the operators of the
Mitchell 3 Sterling mines refused to
accept resolutions adopted by the min
ers at a meeting held Saturday night
The Mitchell mines do not pay the dis
triCt prices. The Sterling mine pays
the district price, but Superintendent
Nicholson is obnoxious to the men be-
cause he has been deducting from
their wages the price of one car out Of
every five. The feeling against the
superintendent was very bitter when
he caused the arrest Saturday of two
foreigners whom he claimed had threat
ened to burn the tipples.
The men at Nicholson's mine are pre-
pairing to so to headquarters with their
grievances. Believing that Superin-
tendent Nicholson is operating the
mines for the Sterling Coal company,
of which Governor Hastings is presi-
dent, they have decided that they will
place their grievances before the gov
ernor, with the hope that he will take
steps to have the matter remedied.
