MAY BE A GREAT STRIKE.
President of the United Mine Workers
Talks of Calling Out $1,000 Men
In the Southwest.

Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 19.-The ex-
ecutive board of the United Mine
workers adjourned Saturday. Before
closing their session they voted to
order a general strike in the southwest
unless certain railroad and coal COM
oanies consider demands made upon
their presidents by wire.
The mines involved are in the Indian
territory, Arkansas, Kansas and Mis-
souri,. The threatened strike would
affect all coal miners working for oper-
ltors shipping coal over several rail-
roads named. There are now 5000
miners idle in these mines owing to the
trouble between the men and the coal
companies.
'The companies will not pay the
dnion SCALE" said President Mitchell,
land we have decided to bring the
trouble to an end. If the presidents to
whom send kilograms ignore my mes
sage-that is, refuse to answer them or
agree to meet us in conference-I shall
at once order a strike and it will take

PLURALITY FOR TAYLOR.
Democratic Papers In Louisville for this
First Time Concede q Lead for the Re-
publican Candidate for Governor.

Louisville. KY, Nov. 19.-At Glas-
cow, Judge Jones rendered his decision
in the Nelson county case, granting
the writ asked for by the plaintiff,
William S. Taylor, directing the pre-
cinct election officers of that county to
correct the error in their certificates
and make a true certification of the
votes cast in their respective precincts
for William S. Taylor, heretofore GER
tilted by them for William P. Taylor.
Democratic newspaper figures for the
first time show pluralities for Taylor
on official returns from 11s counties,
Jefferson being the only missing coun
ty. The republican candidate has a
plurality of 261. In these figures the
unofficial vote of Jefferson county is
taken.
Returns from official count received
from republican newspaper sources
and at the republican state head
quarters show a plurality of 8, 134 for
Taylor. The discrepancy in these
votes cannot be accounted for until
the returns are made to the state board.

Math is a leading merchant of Amer
icus and the ladies involved belong to
the best families in the city. Counsel
has been employed to represent the
Christian scientists and their cases will
be taken to the superior court.

tack-It Is Believed That Gen. Butler
Is Still at Cape Town-More Criticism
. of British Generalship.

Estcourt, Natal, Nov. ia runner
arrived here from Ladysmith to-day
bearing dispatches from Gen. White,
who reports all well there. He adds
that the Boer shells have no effect.
Gen. White recently made a sortie and
drove the Beers from their guns posi-
ton. The British did not lose man.
The town is healthy.
1t is rumored that the Beers have oc-
cupied the village of Weenen, 25 miles
hence. What advantage they hope to
derive therefrom is not known.
Beers Destroy Another Bridge.
Lourenzo Marques, Nov. 19.-The Off
cial Volkestem reports that the great
bridge over the Tugela river. near
Colenso, was completely destroyed
Wednesday, November Is. The Beers
are looking forward with great inter
est to the impending encounter be-
tween Colenso and Estcourt with ad-
| vancing British. About 900 burghers,
with cannon, are guarding the Help
| makaar pass, 1S miles from Dundee, to
battle any strategical attempt to re-
occupy Dundee by the Pietermaritz-
burg-Greytown route.
Butler Still at Cape Town.
London, Nov. .9.-Much criticism
has been expended on the apparent
| lack of proper reconnaissance by cav
| airy in connection with the armored
| train disaster near Estcourt. This
fact, it is claimed, goes to prove that
the reinforcements, especially of cav
airy, although landed at Durham, have
not yet landed at Estcourt. No official
or reliable accounts have been received
| in London of the troops movements
from Durham, and therefore it is be-
| lieved the transport difficulties may be
greater than is generally imagined, in
| which case the relief of Ladysmith
may be delayed. The censorship in
such matters is strict. 1t has been re-
ported that Gen. Butler has "gone up
country" but the latest official dis
patches seem to show he has not left
| Cape Town.
To Check the British Advance.
London, Nov. ia dispatch from
| Lourenzo Marquee says: A Pretoria
newspaper announced last Wednesday
that 1000 burghers had left Gen. Jou.
bert's force around Ladysmith to join
| Commandant Botha's force near Est
court, with a view of assisting to inter
cept the British advance to the relief
of Ladysmith. Gen. Lucas Meyer, the
Free State commander, has asserted in
the course of an interview that he is
convinced that the battle of Eland-
slaagte will be the first and last Boer
| defeat of the year.

NO
|veRlTABLE CHARMED HOUSE.
Charged with Making Way with Scores
of Women and IIlegitimate Babies.

St. Louis, Mo-, Nov. 19.-The Post
Dispatch says that Mrs. Henrietta
Bam berger, midwife, living at 919
Chouteau avenue, has been arrested on
a bench warrant sworn out on informa-
ton laid before the grand jury, which
charges that she has knowledge of the
murder of at least three women and
the destruction of scores of babies.
The witnesses whose testimony result
ed in Mrs. Bamberger's arrest are
Lizzie Rieger, Mary Haar and the lat
ter's married sister, all of whom have
been in the employ of Mrs. Bamberger
as nurses.
The Post-Dispatch continues: Zone
witness alleged that the body of LYDIA
Dessert, of 211S Madison street, who
disappeared from home in 1897 was
buried in the cellar in September of
that year. Another witness declares
that the body of Miss Annie thinner
mann, of Moline, ILL.,, who died from
criminal operation, was thrown into
the Meramic river"
The stories related by the nurses is al
most incredible. The tales deal with
the disposition of bodies in revolving
manner. If all the allegations be true
the home of the accused is a veritable
charnel house.

NEGROES URGED TO OPPOSE 1T
Bishop Turner Warns His Race Against
the Bill Now Pending Before Georgia
Assembly to Restrict Suffrage.

Macon, Ga, Nov. 19.-In an address
before the Georgia conference of the
African Methodist church Bishop 81. M.
Turner yesterday urged every opposi-
tion to the Hardwick bill now pending
before the general assembly of this
state to limit the suffrage of the ne
groes in this state. The bishop said he
proposed to take the stump in Georgia
against it and implored every colored
minister to do likewise. He said the
law would reduce every negro to the
ignoble status of free slave and their
condition would be worse than before
the war. He denounced the supreme
court of the United States for taking
away the negro's civil rights. but ex-
cepted Justice Harlan, who was the ne
gro's friend. He urged that every min
lister assist in getting signatures to the
petition to congress for an appropria-
ton of $125, 900, 600 to be used in send
ing 1000, 600 of the race to Africa, so
there would be an end of race conflicts
in this country.

IMPRESSIONS OF A GERMAN.
Herr Loewe, Delegate to the Philadelphia
Trade Congress, Spea ks of Americas
Marvellous Development.

New York, Nov. ia dispatch to
the Herald from Berlin says: The
Tegeblat prints an interview with
Privy Councillor Loewe, who was the
German delegate at the Philadelphia
trade congress on the impressions he
gained during his visit. Herr Loewe
found the economic condition of the
United States most fourishing, es-
pecially in the marvellous development
ofthe electrical industry, and the Ameri-
cans far ahead of Europeans in the use
of electricity as a substitute for human
labor. All natural forces, he says,
have been made use of for the produc-
tion of electric forces, the greatest be-
ing the Niagara falls. Electric tram
ways and railways are far ahead of
those in Europe.
