of the horses tried to turn in the alley
to the stable and the other wished to
keep the straight road. The result
was they crossed a pile of lumber ly-

bridge that spans the gutter in front
of a carriage house. One OF the horses
became entangled in the boards Of the

just below the knee, so that he had to
be killed to end his misery. This is

Elkins, w. Va, the home of United
States Senator Elkins, was visited
Sunday morning by a serious confla-
grafton and the loss is very heavy,
which is fairly well covered by insur-
ance in Wheeling, Richmond (Va.)
and other domestic and foreign COM
panies. The flames started in the
large building of the Elkins Furniture
and Hardware Company, and as the
tire-tighting equipment of the town
was of the most primitive nature the
flames spread until twelve business
houses, the Bank of Elkins, the of
flee of the Tllter-M0unt0in, the West
Virginia Hotel, large livery stable,
the Opera House, six residences and
several smaller buildings were de-
stroyed, with nearly all their con-
tents. Help was asked for from Dav-
is, Tucker county, and the depart
ment from that town went to Elkins
by special train, but did not arrive
in time to be of much service.
Several families lived over the
stores and lost most of their furni-
ture. Much of the contents of the
stores was burned with the buildings.

But Not Sanguine Of

PIrTsBuRaH Pa, July 2G.-Lively
times are promised in the coal mining
situation this week. A crisis is inn
pending. This is conceded on all sides.
The arbitration commissioners, on the
other side, feel hopeful that they will
bring about the initiative for settle
ment at Tuesdays meeting. The
miners officials, on the other hand,
cl aim to have adopted measures that
will result in complete tie-up.
1t has developed that many OF the
West Virginia miners are awaiting
word from the Pittsburgh district and
especially from the New York & Cleve-
land mines They want to hear of the
miners in these mines having joined
the general suspension. This, it is
claimed by the officials, will bring all
the faltcring ones in West Virginia in
to line thus making the strike effective
in that it will shut off the supply OF
coal
To accomplish this arrangements
have been made for Eugene V, Debs
and other prominent oilici us to come
to this city and hold meeting for tn c
benefit of the New York & Cleveland
miners Thursday Among those eX.
pccted to be present are Samuel Comp
ers, NJ. ID, Ratchford, NJ. NJ. Garland
and w. D. Mahou. At this meeting ii
is intended to strike final decisive
blow, and if possible make the tie-uF
complete.
The place has not yet been selected
but it will be in a grove in close prox-
unity to the Turtle Creek Sandy Creek
and Plum Creek mines Of the New York
& Cleveland Gas Coal Co, The reputa,
ton of Debs, it is expected, will prove
to be n magnet, and 1900 miners are
looked for at the meeting.
The meeting at Scottdale, Tuesday,
of the miners in the coke district and
the meeting of labor leaders at Wheel
ing are also looked upon as important
features at this period of the strike.
Should the Westmoreland miners be
brought out there are fears for serious
trouble at DeArmitt's mines.
Reports from the coke regions indi-
cate that the colers will not not likely
come out. The board of arbitrators
report matters quiet, waiting on the
results of Tuesdays meeting, which
they claim to think means much to-
ward the result of the proposed settle
ment of the strike by arbitration. An
effort is being made to have as many
river men attend the meeting as possi-

MRS. MAVERICKS CASEA


The British Government Again Declines
to Interfere.
WASHINGTON, July 26.--The British
government has again declined to in
terfere in the execution of the sentence
of Mrs. Florence Maybrick, on the
ground that there is no reason for
change of judgment in the matter.
The last efforts to secure at
least an ameioration in the con-
dition of her confinement was
made by Ambassador Hay, who had
some correspondence on the subject
with the foreign office, which he has
transmitted to the state department.
Lord Salisbury appears to have called
for report in the case from Secretary
Ridley, and the latter regretfully
stated that he was uuable, in view of
the conclusion which had been reached
by himself and his predecessor as to
Mrs. Maybrick's guilt, to recommend
to her majesty any exceptional treat
ment should be accorded to her. Sec
retarv Ridley also added that the medi-
cal report in Mrs. Maybrick's case was
quite satisfactory, an evidence that the
Government does not credit any of the
statements as to the insanity of the
prisoner.
