New Company Liquidates Expens-
es Up to Date.
The $4,000 bonds voted by the
township of Beaver Falls to aid the
Gulf & Manitoba railroad in build
ing it's line of railroad to Beaver
Falls became imperative at II
o'clock midnight last Saturday. It
was condition of the bonds that
the road was to be completed to
within half mile of the court house
before July 1st, The bonds were
placed in the keeping OF Hans Gron-
nerud, to be turned over bv him to
the company, in case the latter COM
piled with its contract. Failing in
the contract they were to be re-
turned to the township officers, or
be destroyed.
When Chief Engineer Brown and
surveying crew arrived here a
month or more ago it was believed
that the company meant business,
and had money to carry on opera
tions. In fact, it was so stated by
one or two of the officials. The SUR
veying crew, which is composed of
gentlemen only, were given to un-
derstand that the money for the sur
vey was in the bank. They went to
work and have since been working.
They have demanded their pay fre-
quently 1t was promised June Is.
Their salaries did not appear at
that time It was promised June
21st.
The following items concerning
the road were handed in Saturday
by person in authority:
A bran new hand-car on the G.. &
NJ. makes daily trips from North
Redwood over to near the long
trestle.
Patrick McAlen and his section
gang have worked wonders on the
track of the G. & NJ, leveling and
surfacing it in first class shape and
putting in cattle guards and cross
ings-he completing the track lay
ing to near the long trestle Satur-
day.
The bridge gang have the Mime
sofa river bridge almost ready for
the rail, and are resting, waiting
for bridge timber and bridge ties.
The efficient surveying corps,
under Chief Engineer Brown and
Assistant VanDusan, completed
very satisfactory survey Friday,
from Beaver Falls to the c. NJ &
St. Paul R. R., getting less than
l per cent. grade, much of it not
oyer half per cent.-a very agree
able surprise
Saturday the Construction Com
pany scattered about 81, 500 among
the G.. 4 NJ. employees for May and
June pay rolls, and carried Joy to
the pockets of the boys who are now
ready to celebrate the 4th with our
Redwood Falls people.
Owing to some slight hitch in
financial affairs, work has suspend
ed for few days, to be renewed
soon, or pushed vigorously. The
new construction pays as it goes,
and will not do any other kind of
business. They announce confin-
dent]y their determination to finish
the G. 4 NJ. to the C. NJ. & St. P.
railroad before January 1st, includ-
ing a connection with Beaver Falls,
Beaver Falls township will be
asked to revote the bond. according
to the latest news, and the town.
ship can we'll afford to do so, as it
is practically the only chance for
getting the road into Beaver Falls.
The request will be made at once.
The surveying crew will go to
their homes for the Fourth, pre-
pared to return as soon as request
ed. Messrs. Campbell and Comp
ton will spend the Fourth in Red

FRANKFORT, KY. Sept. s7.-James
Howard has been found guilty Of being
a principal in the assassination of Gov

tailed the death sentence. *.i&@a
One Of the jurors, after the jury had
been discharged, stated that a number
Of ballots were taken, but the first bal
lot resulted in a unanimous verdict of
guilty. After that the ballots were as
to the degree Of punishment and on these
ballots ten members voted for the death
penalty, while two voted for life i'm

ballots but finally the two jurors who
voted for life imprisonment gave in to
the majority and voted for the death
penalty. 49,.
After the verdict had been rendered
Howard was remanded to Jail, where

NO TROOPS SENT AS YET.

Appeal of the Sheriff of Luzerne County
Unanswered. ..l,
HAzLEToN, Pa, Sept. 27.-The re-
quest of Sheriff Harvey that troops be
sent to Luzerne county is still unan-
swered, but it is almost certain none
will be sent there until there are fur
ther developments requiring their serv-
ices. ;.
The entire Hazleton region is very
quiet, no marches or disturbances hav-
ing occurred anywhere during the
night or morning. ,.,
Sheriff J. B. Harvey was seen in re-
gard to his request for state help. The
sheriff said he had telegraphed the gov,
ernor for national guardsmen in any
number that the chief executive in his
judgment deemed best to preserve Or
der as the situation is getting critical.
He says he also had a long talk with
Governor Stone over the telephone, in
which he explained the entire situation
and why he had made the request for
troops. The sheriff told him that he
was wanted at so many places ii the
county to protect life and property that
it was impossible to be everywhefe!
He frankly told the governor that the
situation was getting beyond his CON
troll and suggested to him that TIVE
regiments would be sufficient to pre-

FOUR PERSONS KILLED.

Waterspouts Do Much Damage to Sew
eral Iowa Towns.
DEs Mo1NEs, Sept. 27.-Four persons
were killed and several others injured
in q waterspout at Ferguson. The Mil
waukee roads agent and the telegraph
operator were badly injured. The rail.
way station was badly wrecked, several
cars were blown from the track and
more or less damage done and many
houses were destroyed. Wire connec-
tions with Ferguson are interrupted
and it was impossible at o'clock to
learn the names Of all those killed and
injured.
d A severe waterspout and wind and
rain are reported from the vicinity of
Redfield and Madrid, where tracks are
washed out in many places. Towns
along the Great Western railroad also
report hard wind and rain this side of
Marshalltown. From all quarters of
this section of the state property losses
are reported heavy, but no loss Of life is
known except from Ferguson.
Ferguson is on the main line of the
Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul rail,
road and about 40 miles east of Madrid,
in Marshall county, Is miles southeast
OF Marshalltown. It is a compare

Pennsylvania Troops Find It Dull

Strike Regions.
Have Nothing to Do and Are Be-
coming Impatient to Return
to Their Homes.
The Situation Is Steadily Resolv-
ing Itself Into a Battle
s.. Of Endurance.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. h27.-Affairs in
the strike region are very quiet The
soldiers are still encamped on the hills
near Shamokin, but they have nothing
whatever to do and the men are becom-
ing impatient to get back to their
homes. Sheriff Harvey's S effort to get
a couple of regiments of militiamen
into Luzerne county on the plea that
the marchers are getting beyond his
control, has thus far been denied by
Governor Stone, and the events of the
day would appear to justify the gov
ernor in his attitude. President Mitch.
ell of the strikers union, aided by his
lieutenants, is making every effort to
induce the idle men to refrain from
violence or trespass, as he fully realizes
the moral effect of an outbreak that
would necessitate the sending of SOL
diers to the Hazleton region. /:
Both sides claim gains but reliable
reports received here indicate that mat
ters are at standstill, with the battle
of endurance progressing steadily.

tion of accepting or rejecting the offer

dent of The Morning Post, ''that Count

is also believed that she will attack
the Khan Win forts on the Yang Use

valuable new cruisers. Failing this,
she will at least occupy all the province
Of King Su, north of Yang Use Kiang.

SURPRISE FOR REPUBLICANS.

Nominee for Governor of North Dakota
Expected to Resign.
FARGO, N. D., Sept. 27.-Rumors Of
what promises to be the greatest polit-
ical sensation Of the state are current.
It is reported that Governor Fancher,
who was renominated by the Republic
ans, has informed the party leaders
that he wishes to resign. There is con-
firmation Of the story from the fact
that the Republican state central com.
mittee has been notified by telegraph
to meet at Grand Forks Immediately
on important business, but no details
are given. It is claimed Fancher's res.
ignation is dne to continued ill health.
He is also of a most sensitive disposi.
tion, ard repeated attacks by large
number of Republican newspapers in
the state have disgusted the executive
to such degree that he is willing tc
forego further political preferment fo1
personal peace and comfort.

ITALY AND AUSTRIA.

Said They Alone Have Agreed Uncondi-
tionally to Germany's Plan.
PARIS, Sept 27.-It is asserted from
excellent diplomatic sources that Italy
and Austria are the only powers which
have replied favorably and uncondi-
tionally to Germany's note. It is GER
tainly fact that the replies of Russia
and France are almost Identical, advo-
eating the punishment Of the origina-
tors of the 'anti-foreign assaults, but
not making their surrender an absolute
condition Of the peace preliminaries. y
. Japan takes a middle couse, leaning
little more strongly towards Ger
many, while Great Britain declines.
A powerful argument used against
Germany's position was its establish
ment OF a precedent that would permit
the powers in future wars to demand
personages considered by them to be
guilty leaders before peace negotiations
are undertaken

THREE MEN WOUNDED,

First Bloodshed In the Lackawanna Re-
gion as Result of the Strike.
SCRANTON, Pa, Sept. 27.-The first
bloodshed which may be laid to the
strike Of the miners in the Lackawanna
region is reported from Sibley, a min.
ing settlement at the foot of the noun
tains in Old Forge township, about six
miles from Scranton. Three men were
wounded in the row, in which about 20
revolver shots were fired. The partici.
pants were all Italians and got into a
fight on the roadway near Barberton.
Revolvers were drawn by several and
when the tNttle was over three men
were down in the road, one so badly
wounded that DIR. Timlin has little
hope for his recovery. -
The strike situation throughout the
Lackawanna valley remains practically
unchanged, the Lackawanna company
working it's four washeries without
molestation. This company is believed
to be actively preparing to get one of
it's big breakers in operation by mar
shalling sufficient men willing to work
