CALLING GUNS
Will be Used if Needed to Reopen
the Mines Say the Operators.

Cleveland, Aug. 19-The decision
reached by the operators of the Pittsburg
district at their conference to open their
mines regardless of the consequences will
probably cause serious trouble. Accord
ing to local coal men it is the intention Of
the Pittsburg operators to engage Pink
erton men to protect their non-union men.
This action on their part will probably
precipitate terrible climax to the great
strike, and the operators admit that
blood will probably flow.
In speaking of the probable result Of
the operators decision, LOTUS Cuddy, of
the Cuddy- Muddy Coal company said:
army of detectives will be employed to
protect our men, and if the worst comes
they will be supplied with gatling guns
and other equipments to convince the
strikers that we mean business. There
will be no delay in inaugurating this
movement and the first step will be taken
today, although L do not care to state .
what the first action will be- - fe
Mr.. Cuddy's statement is upheld by }
P. Zerb, president of the Ohio and Penn
sylvania Coal company, who said: I'VE
are determined to open our mines again,
in spite of the strikers, and see no rea-
son why we should not succeed. There
are plenty of non-union workmen in the
country who are willing to fight for their
protection, although 1 am of the opinion
that we will be able to protect them our
selves. I think that when the old miners
find that they cannot prevent the mines
being opened they will go back to work
again amicably.'

SENILE OLD DUFFER.
Gen. LOngstreet, Aged rs, to
Marry a Girl of %.

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 19.-Reputab1e indi-
cations point to the seeming fact that
Cen James G. Longstreet, the veteran of
Indian, Mexican and civil wars, has at
last fallen captive to the glances of a
beautiful Georgia maiden, and has laid
his heart at her feet in entire and COM
plete submission. Miss Ellen Dortch is
the young woman.
Miss Dortch in the early part of the
summer took Bay Cottage at Lithia
Springs, very prominent and popular re-
sort, about twenty miles from this place.
Very shortly afterwards General Long
street put in an appearance, and from
that time until the present the couple
have been inseparable. The general is 76
years of age, but hale and hearty.
He looks twenty-five years younger and
carries himself with a splendid military
bearing. Miss Dortch is %, intellectual
and very pretty. She is now assistant
state librarian.
General Longstreet graduated from
West Point in 1912, taking part in the
Mexican war, and obtaining the title of
brevet major for his valiant deeds. From
1S47 to 1852 he served on Texas frontier
posts, and in June, 1861, resigned to join
the confederacy. He was promoted to
the rank of major general in 1862. He
was favorite member of Lees staff.

COLLAPSED ON PIKE'sPEAK
Sup arintendent OF the Mail Service
Overcome by the Atmosphere.

Denver, Aug. 19.-Captain L. L. Troy of
Chicago, superintendent of the United
States mail service, was overcome by the
altitude on Pixies Peak yesterday and for
time it was feared that the collapse
might result seriously, but today he is
all right again. In an interview, he says:

from the rarifed atmosphere which we
encountered on the way up, but when 1
alighted from the cars became dizzy and
imagined that was Felts, the mysterious
aeroplane jumper, and that was sailing

a start to find myself lying fiat upon the
rocks on the summit of the peak with my
family bending over me and administer

1T seems that 1 had circled about the peak
in dizzy sort of way for a time and had
fallen heavily to the ground. They
thought me dead, but I soon regained
control of myself, and with assistance

Mike came to the bat and sent cork

ran to first, and instead of turning
about for second, he kept straight on

he reached the right fielder. The latter
didn't know what was up until Mike
ran around him and then trotted to sec

he ran out again toward left field The
center fielder, who had run over there
to take a throw from the left fielder
when the latter found the ball, was
simply dumbfounded. Kel ran around
him and then galloped to third base.
BY this time the left fielder had found
the ball and he quickly threw it in to
the shortstop. The latter shot the ball
to the catcher and Kel was headed off.
Mike ran up and down several times
with the whole Austin team chasing
him, until he saw he was cornered.
Then he broke into sprint and dashed
across the diamond in the direction of
right field. The third baseman, who
had the ball, went after him full tilt
