CHICAGO. oct. l6,-Buried in the
woods. Ave miles north OF waukegan.
ILL.,, in a grave dug by comrades, is the
body OF Tom Meyers. well-known
confidence man and forger, who, on the
night Of August 81, escaped with three
other prisoners from the Waukegan
Jail, Peter German, one Of the jail
breakers who assisted in the burial Of
his dead comrade, was captured in this
city by officer Condell and has told the
police the story OF the forgers end
Meyers, according to the state hent,
died September 3 as the result Of priva-
tion and exposure for four days In the
woods where he and his companions
had taken refuge after their escape,
With infinite difficulty, the three men
followed out y place for his remains.
The two men still at liberty who broke
from the Jail are George c. Schneider
and Joe Poul.
Until Germans arrest, no trace Of
the escaped prisoners had been found.
1t was generally supposed that the four
men had made their way to Chicago,
but instead they took to the woods,
For two days the jail-breakers re-
manned hidden in the mderbrush,
They were without food all the time
and were exposed to lnclement weather.
II ralned the second day, and they
slept that night in their wet clothes.
The following morning, Meyers, who
was older than the rest, could scarcely
speak. He complained that he was very
sick, and his companions assisted him
to walk about, His comrades gave up
their coats, and with them German
constructed a bed on the ground for
Meyers. II had been their plan to go
further that day, but the condition of
the sick man made travel impossible
for him, and the others refused to de-
sert him.

which to buy food, but German, i'm

That the Queen OF England has done

secret that the appeal TO the Car Alex

France a few years after Sedan, and it
may be that efforts to maintain peace
now will be equally successful. AT all

that she prefers addiction to war, and
just now the possibilities are that
there will be neither war nor addiction.

Some Of the Things that Bring Bad
Luck to the Ship.

Pets are believed to bring good luck
and when, in the recent war with Spain,
man was struck and killed with a
bursting shell on the Texas, all the
sailors in the fleet said it was because
the hattleship was without mascot.
The cat has bad reputation among
seafaring men, most OF whom believe
that she brings III luck to a ship If a
cat falls overheard and is drowned
(she Is always rescued If possible), the
men will often leave at the next port,
believing the ship to be doomed; and I
have heard men-o'war's men cite the
case of the old Kearsarge as proof
thereof
on her last voyage the frigate car
ried cat and a monkey. A violent
feud existed between them. and on their
way north, one dark and stormy night
Jocko threw poor Tom overheard, run
ming along the rail and chattering like
a fiend as the unfortunate pet disap-
peared in the boiling waves. The seas
were running too high to admit Of
launching boat. and puss was left to
watery grave, but not without many
gloomy forebodings. which were realiz-
ed soon afterwards, when the Kear-
sarge stranded on the fatal reef
To fall down without any apparent
cause is warning of death in the
immediate future. An American crui-
ser was lying off Nice few years ago,
when a seaman fell prone on the deck.
Upon rising he went to his bunk, and,
returning. placed a slip of paper bear
ing his mothers address in the hand
Of messmate, saying he did not ex-
pect to see home again.
For the nose TO bleed only a few
drops Is believed in the navy to fore
tell death in as many days or weeks
as there are drops Of blood. You may
hear sailor sing at sea, but he rare
ly whistles; whistling is supposed to
bring a hurricane and Is always hush
ed by the remark, there's hurricane

PEELED by the necessity OF obtaining
nourlshment for the sick man. went to
farm house and begged for bread.
That was the first mouthful Of food
the fugitives had had since their IS
cape. Meyers told his comrades that
he was better the next morning, but
that night he died
with their hands they dug the grave
and lifted the body of their dead COM
panlon into 1t. They wrote few words
on an envelope, telling briefly the story
OF the sad end OF Tom Meyers, and,
placing ii In a pocket of t. dead mans
coat covered him with dirt. They
hacked a tree to mark the spot, and
then fled from the scene.
German will be taken to waukegan
today, and he will be requested to lead
the Lake county officials to the lonely
grave in the woods Then he will re-
turn to Jail and stand trial.
Ton Meyers was well known to the
police of almost every large city in the
country He was about so years old.

BALTIMORE, Md, August Sat
Bedford Springs, Pa, yesterday an
agreement was reached by which the
entire railroad and mining interests OF
the West Virginia Central region were
consolidated
Ten million dollars is involved.
The parties to the agreement were
the families of United States Senator
Stephen B. Elkins and ex-senator Hen
ry G. Davis and r. C. Kerns, of st.
Louis.
The scheme was engineered by Kerns,
who is said to have practically forced
the Elkins and Davis families into it..
He is a stakeholder in the West Vir-
ginia Central railroad, but has no con-
nection with the coal and coke opera
lions. The Davises and Elkinses on
the other hand, while owning all the
mining lands, also operate the West
Virginia Central railway. They have,
however, allowed the bulk of their coal
to be shipped to tidewater over the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, liberal
terms having been secured from that
company and the route being direct.
Kerns is said to have chafed under
this arrangement by which his road was
in part ignored He possessed the
means to bring about a consolidation
and used them.
The report is that the output of the
mines, as far as practicable, will be
sent to tidewater by the West Virginia
Central and the Pennsylvania railroad,
a traffic agreement already existing be-
tween these roads.
There is another rumor that the
Central will build seventeen mile
road to connect with the Chesapeake &
Ohio and thus reach Newport News.
Still another and even more interest
ing report is that Senator Ehkins and
Ex-senator Davis wish to get their I'M
mense properties into such shape that
they can be quickly disposed of, it be-
ing their intention to sell out entirely
and retire from business should a fav-
orable opportunity present In any
event, however, the roads to which
Keren's is partial will benefit by the
agreement.

WELLSBURG, w. Va, August D.
A daring robbery occurred Wednesday
morning about 3 o'clock near indie
pendence, Pa, in which figures two
lone women and over $4,000
Mrs. and Miss Parkinson were
awakened by four masked men, tied
and blindfolded and compelled to show
the men the hiding place of their mon
ey, government bonds and other val
uables.
Bonds amounting to $10,500, $40 in
money and valuable jewelry and sill
verware were the booty.
The hands of the women were tied
with strips made from bed sheets, and
their only injury was from having their
wrists tied so tightly.
The men were so fully disguised that
no description can be given Of them,
but it is thought they are the same
gang who figured in the burglary at
Grafton on Monday night, and possibly
are connected with the Pappe outrage
near West Liberty last fall.
The banks have been notified to stop
payment on the bonds

MINERS RETURN TO WORK.
The Strike in the kanawha Valley is Prac-
tically Ended.


Special to the Register
CHARLESTON, w. VA, August s.
The striking coal miners at the Kel-
ley's Greek mines, on the north side of
the Kanawha, above this city, have all
returned to work, but a portion of the
men at the Boomer mines are still out.
The men struck presumably because of
the failure of some operators on the
north side of the river to allow the
increase granted recently at meeting
of the Chesapeake & Ohio Coal Associa-
ton in this city by nearly all the ope-
rators on the south or Chesapeake e.
Ohio side. This increase went into eff
feet August /. 1t allows to the miner
21b cents, an advance of "a cent on hard
coal, and30 cents, an advance of 5 cents,
on soft coal. An operator in this city
stated that the men at the mines where
the strike occurred had not been grant
ed the increase because of the fact that
the mines are operated by machinery
and the men are hired by the day. He
ascribes the strike to the efforts of
agents of the United Mine Workers
organization to induce a general strike,
but it is not likely that the trouble will
assume any such proportions.

Five Big Anthracite Galleries Closed Down
Men Have Several Grievances
WILKESBARRE, Pa, August g.
The employees of five big collieries in
the anthracite region have gone on
strike. The main grievance is alleged
excessive dockage. 1t is estimated that
nearly $500 men are idle. At the Nan
ticoke colliery of the Susquehanna
Coal Company, 100 have stopped work
and at the Keystone mill creek 500 are
out. The latter have several griev-
ances. At the Babylon mine at Dur
yea 500 men are on strike for an in
crease in wages, and the same number
stopped work yesterday at the Exeter
shaft, at West Pittston. Several other
collieries are threatened with shutting
down as a result of dissatisfaction
among their employees.
