Louisville, Sept. &c. DIR. Hugh NJ.
McCulloch, coroner of Jefferson coun-
ty last night shot and killed George
Owen. twenty-one years old, at the lat
ter's home, 1921 Melwood avenue.
Coroner McCulloch was arrested and
denied bail The trouble that led to the
shooting started about two weeks ago
between the McCulloch and the owen
families, which are neighbors and
were formerly friendly, and seemed to
come to head yesterday afternoon
over a peafowl which escaped from the
yard of the Owens house. The fowl had
been given by Mrs. McCulloch TO Mrs.
Owen, mother Of the man who was
killed. Mrs. owen says Mrs. McCul-
loch fired several times at her with
revolver, nCEc of the bullets hitting
her, but several Of than hit the owen
house. DR.. McCulloch came home at
1880 p. M, and going into the owen
yard, according to Mrs. owen. began
TO abuse her. George Owen came in at
this time and addressed DR.. McCulloch,
who, Mrs. Owen says, Immediately shot
the young man and then shot a New
foundland dog that belonged to the
Owens. Mrs. McCulloch is reported TO
be prostrated by the affair and has not
yet been arrested on the charge of
shooting at Mrs. owen. DIR. McCul-
loch refuses TO make a statement.

STRIKERS ORDERLY.
Expected Clash with Troops Does
Not Occur.


Phila delphia, Sept. 26-Instead of the
expected clash between the troops and
striking miners in the Schuylkill re-
gion yesterday a peaceful calm per-
vaded the region and there was not
the slightest disorder for the soldiers
to be called upon to quell. In fact in
all the districts of the anthracite coal
fields the day was extremely quiet,
there being no demonstrations what
ever on the part of the strikers. While
the operators claim that number OF
their employees returned to work at the
mines in the Schuylkill region, II was
said early in the day that operations
did not assume the activity which the
mine owners had anticipated, and in
dications are that to-day will fnd more
idle collieries than at any time since
the strike began. The soldiers moved
over the roads leading to the collierles

ing and thus
Afforded Protection
to those desirous of returning TO work.
No opposition was encountered, how
ever, and not a very great many
availed themselves of the protection OF
the troops. The strike leaders claim
many additions to their ranks, and
President Mitchell himself estimates
that the striking force was augmented
yesterday to the extent of 800 to 1000.
No overtures TO end the struggle have
been offered by either side. The strike
leaders are occupying themselves in in
ducing mine workers to quit and the
operators are endeavoring to mine all
the coal they can with their reduced
forces. Meantime coal shipments from
the mines are daily growing less. and
reports of advances in prices for the
commodity are received from all trad
ing sections.

than fifty French vessels from St.
Pierre are still missing as the result Of
the recent gale and much alarm is felt
for their safety. Many doubtless are
disabled, but IT is almost certain that
others have foundered. The French
flagship Isly has been ordered from
the treaty shore, it is reported here, to
cruise over the Grand Banks with a
view of learning the extent OF the dis
aster and of assisting any vessels re-

The English war ONCE is experiment
ing with new magazine rife. 1t Is
the invention OF an Australian and 1t
possesses several advantages over the
Lee-Metford arm, which is at present
employed In the British army. The
automatic feed of the cartridge from
the magazine into the breech is a
striking feature. 1t was tried at Bis
ley In the recent competitions and fired
thirty shots In the minute, with %
hits, Of which IL were bull's-eyes.
The rife is said to be vastly superior
ito either the Lee Metford or the Mau,
ser in strength, efficiency and simpli-
city OF construction, while 1t is S5 per
cent cheaper to manufacture and is one
and one-fourth pounds lighter than the
present Lee-Metford rifle, 1t has been
strongly recommended by Lord
Charles Beresford and there Is little
doubt that 1t will be introduced into
the British army at the end OF the
South African campaign.
