STOCKHOLM couNrassHs.
A Question as 10 Who Poisoned Royal
chamberIsin.

New YORK. Feb. 10. "A dispatch
from Stockholm says, this Is the date
set for the resumption of the trial OF
Countess Betty Taube Won Block,
widow of the deceased royal chamber
lain of that name, and who is charged
with havin poisoned her husband. The
trial was inaugurated in November
last, but few weeks later Froken
Fraskiold, countess who was
engaged to be married to the young
Lieutenant Won Taube, and who was
the pricipal witness against the wi low,
was found in public square bleeding
from score OF knife wounds. Her
story was that she had been decoyed to
the spot, where she met two women
and a man, who sprang upon her and
repeatedly Stakeholder. For a time her
life was in tho balance, but when she
recovered she made a confession to the
fact that the wounds were seif-inficted
and that she had taken this method of
creating public sympathy in her favor
and casting further suspicion on the
Countess Won Taupe. Since then she
has been confined in lunatic asylum.
Ca the original trial, she testified that
the Countess Won Block had adminis-
tered poison to her husband, tina royal
hamberIain, and an analysis of the
developed traces of quick
silver and arsenic. King Oscar has
taken deep interest in the case and
has had numerous interviews with the
chief of police and public prosecutor.
Within the post few days, the Countess
Fraskiold has written letter declaring
that she herself poisoned the count,
and that she was possessed OF liendish
desire TO fasten the crime on theI
mother OF her fiance. The latter hasJ
his sweetheart, and the ih-'l
lications are that the matter is ripe
for new and startling developments.

OVER 100 KILLED.
Troops Being Hustled from Pana 10 Scere
OF Conflict.

Springfield, ILL.,, Oct. 12.-Gov. Tanner
has just received a telephone message
from Sheriff Davenport of Macoupln
county that the fight between the MN
ars and those guarding the stockades
is still going on and over 100 men have
been killed.
The governor expected Capt. Craig,

coed at once TO Nirden. Captain Craig
will leave Pana for Springfield IN a
len with Battery 3 and one company
Sons of Veterans Regiment.
The governor also ordered Col

field for equipment.
Gov. Tanner said:
L shall give Capt. Craig, who Will
command troops at Nirden orders to
suppress the riot, protect life and prop
4rty and to not allow imported laborers
to be unloaded at that place since the
nine owners have carried out Their
threats influenced by avarice and gam
to Drecipitate this riot and bloodshed
do not propose that they shall further
iisturbe the peace of the state. The
nine owners and managers are re-
sponsible for and guilty of the murder
brought about by this conflict ;iR1i
should be indicted by the grand jury
for murder, as I believe they will be. =

The WIDEST EXCITEMENT
Prevails at vrden = inhabitants All Aiming
for Protection.

virden. H.. Oct 12rTae arrival of the
imported negroes from the South. at 1870
today, was followed by desperate bat
tie Give hundred shots We're exchanged
between the strikers on one side ard
Sheriff Davenport, his depufies and rail-
road police Oh the other. 1t is thought
killed and wounded.
The best Information Is that 10 were
killed. five fatally wounded and FIVE seri-
ously wounded. A Chicago & Alton spe-
ciai policeman is among the killed His
name is said to be kiley.
When the Chicago & Alton train bear
ing. the negroes arrived 1t was met by
fully 1850 armed miners who were lined
upon Zach side of the track between the
telegraph office and the mine OF the Chi
eago-Firden Coal Co. The train was
stockade and the trouble began. Dozens
of shots We're fired from the stockades at
thewnite men while ,.4e strikers Were
half a mile away, and the Chicago & AL
tCal policeman was undoubtedly killed hy
shot from the tower.
The widest rumorS are afioat. one be-
ing That as many as 50 miners have been
killed. The town is in the greatest ex-
citemeEt. and men are securing whatever
arms they can get hold OF, expecting to
use them for their own protection if the
Women and children are fleeing to their
homes and barricading themselves behind
their doors. Some of the wives of the
dead miners however decline to go to
grief and anger.
1t is said the miners were fred on from
the stockades after the train had gone
through.
About 1.3o Manager Lukens tried to
make his escape from the shaft. The
attempt was the signal for another fusi-
htde from a body of men said to be min
ers. The manager and a small force of
detectives ran into the alley behind the
post office. The attacking party. how
ever. continued to fire away. 1t is not
known wh either of "a Sh
effect.
The marsha! has telegraphed the chief
of police at Springfield H., to send a
special rtain with doctors. and MAYOR
Nall has sent messengers to Girard for
d3ctCrs and nurses.
Sheriff Davenport has sent telegram
to Governor Tanner asking that troops
be immediately sent.
The sheriff thinks possibly 100 men have
been killed and wounded, but Others deem
this estimate too large.
There IS the greatest Indignation felt
here against Mine Operator Kulens, who
is held responsible for tine tragedy.
