Cincinnati, June 1S.-The 21st annual
convention of the Music Teachers Ma
tional association, which is to be held
June q to 90 inclusive, has a pro-
gramme indicating much more than the
usual attendance and interest. This is
partly due to the recognition of the
benefits of these annual gatherings to
the members of the association and
partly to the marshaling by Mr.. Grant
WORT, now resident of Cincinnati, OF
the musical forces here to contribute
to the entertainment of the body.
Among the features of interest will be
organ recitals by leading orga1isss OF
the country on the great Music Hall
organ, and concerts by the Cincinnati
symphony orchestra in Music Hall. An
interesting feature will be the exhibi-
ton for the first time in public of the
perfectly-tuned piano. by the inventor,
DR.. s. A Hageman of Cincinnati. In
the three days a large number of pa
pers will be read by members from all
parts of the country, followed by dis

DREYFUS NEARING HOME.
General Mercier Reasserts His Belief in
the CAPTAINS Guilt.

Paris. June ia dispatch from Cape
Verde islands announces that the French
second class cruiser SfaX, carrying Cap
tain Dreyfus, has passed en- route for
Brest, where she is expected before next
Saturday. 1t is understood Captain Drey-
fus will be landed by night and that
special train will be in waiting to take
him to Rennes, where the court-martial
is to be held.
General MERCER. who was minister of
war when Captain Dreyfus was con-
demned. spoke publicly for the first time
since the court of cessation rendered its
decision, at a meeting of the French Pa
triotic League yesterday. where he was
greeted with loud applause. Your accla-
nations said General Mercier. "are ad-
dressed only in a small part to the SOL
dier who did his duty in 1894, and who is
firmly resolved to accomplish it in 1899
They are chiefly addressed to our dear
army of which, at this critical moment
you do me the honor of regarding as the
standard bearer"
He then proceeded to declare his abso-
lutte conviction of the guilt of Captain
Dreyfus and his belief that the Rennes
court martial would fearlessly assert the
truth and do its duty
LAS for myself he declared, II shall
tell everything / know" This, as a prom
inent advocate of revision remarked, is
just what is wanted.

INVESTIGATING COAL MINES.
The Visit of Thomas A. Edison Occasion
Much Speculation.


Chicago. June 1S.-A special to the
Record from McAdoo, Tenn, says: The
visit of Thomas A. Edison to the coal
mines in this vicinity during the last
two days has been the subject of much
speculation. 1t is definitely learned to-
day that a new process for producing
a marketable fuel has engaged the in
ventor's attention, and it will be
launched not only to compete with the
product of the Pennsylvania coal fields,
but with that of China, which has
found ready sale on the Pacific coast.
In fact the primary purpose of the
scheme is to meet the demands in Cali
fornia which the actively increasing
iron trade has made particularly press
ing. For several days r. H. Norton,
ton. now representing the San Francis
co & San Joaquin Coal company, has
been here also, and has been in con-
sultation with Edison.
The quality of the California coal ap-
proaches bituminous. 1t is the opinion
of Mr. Norton that. made into bric-
quettes by a new electrical process, it
will be just as serviceable as any other
and as further evidence of his conf
dence in this respect, since Mr.. Edson's
visit here, he has engaged large num-
Der of expert coal miners and has char
tered a Lehigh Valley car to send them
to California. 1t is believed that Mr..
Edison will devise a scheme to make it
possible to use the refuse of hard coal,
heretofore considered absolutely use

TRIAL OF SHERIFF YOUNG
The State Will Endeavor to Remove the

fore Proceeding With the Prose-

Wallace, Idaho, June 1S.-To- day has
been devoid of incident in strike mat
ters. Attorneys have been busy pre-
pairing for tomorrow when the i'm
peachment cases against the county
commissioners come up. This will be
the first real contest in the matter,
and while the result will not affect the

considers it very important to get out
of office commissioners sympathizing
with the rioters. on Tuesday the case
against Sheriff Young will be heard
and it's result is of vital consequence,
as the jurors will be drawn by open
venire.
The permit system for underground

STUBBLEFlELD FOUND GUILTY.
a Missouri Pacific Conductor--He Plotted
to Rob the Train.

Sedalia, Mo- June 1S.-The jury in
the case of ELI j, Stubbletield connect
ed with the attempted robbery of a
Missouri Pacific train near here in No
vember last returned a verdict to-day
finding Stubblefield guilty and fixing
his punishment at 10 years imprison-
ment in the state penitentiary
Stubblefield had been in the employ
of the Missouri Pacific as conductor
The plan to rob the train had been re-
vealed in advance to the railroad Of
ficials, and when the train was brought
to standstill detectives who were on
board, opened fire upon the robbers.
Stubbefield had one arm shot away.
but managed to escape. He and
James /. West, Stubblefield's alleged
accomplice the engineer. were arrest
ed few hours later when they re-
turned to their homes.
The sensation of the trial was the tes-
timony of f. Fl. Adams, real estate
agent, who was formerly in the en-
ploy of the Missouri Pacific as an en-
gineer. He testified that the robbery
had been planned in his office, but he
at no time had any intention of par
ticipating in the robbery.

panies could bring miners into this

precedent of even seeming to violate

would have upon the miners. The

has enjoined the 500 miners and state

goes made after them and the woman

smoke are pouring from the Caledonia pit
and that the fire is burning as fiercely as

ed to enter the pit to-day but got down
only 40 feet and were compelled to re-
treat.
The body of one of the Victims Mar

buried forever beneath tons of debris.

party Johnston met, but he refused to go
back and is alive to-day. The funerals of

The Striking Coal Miners Have Won a
Temporary Victory.

Pittsburg, Kan, June 1S.-The strik-

temporarily stopped the importation of
Southern negroes by the mine opera
tors. The hearing of injunction cases
brought by the strikers in the state
courts has been postponed by Judge
Skidmore until June &c, the temporary
injunction being extended.
The injunction suits in question are
those brought in Cherokee county by
the miners to prevent the importation
of miners from other states The min

diseases, and that their coming would
be menace to the peace of the com
