NOT RUNNING AWAY.
Prevent Serving of summons
Upon Him.

New York, April 3O.-Friends and
business associates of John w. Lam
bert, president of the American Steel
& Wire company, and John W. Gates,
chairman of the executive committee
of that company, Saturday made en-
phatic denials of the report that the
gentlemen had, left New York to evade
summonses issued against them in
connection with recent stock transac-
ctions.
1t is tacitly admitted, however, that
such summonses have been issued and
that the matter will be pushed.
Max Pam, general counsel for the
American Steel & Wire company,
said:
1.-THE publication this morning of the in
stitution Of criminal proceedings against
Mr.. Gates and Mr.. Lambert cannot remain
unnoticed. There is absolutely no founda-
ton for any such proceedings, and in my
Judgment an Interior motive prompts what
has been caused to be published.
''Mr. Gates and Mr.. Lambert have been
advised of this matter, and will leave Chi
cago so as to be here Monday morning
ready to submit to service of any process
whatsoever, enabling any person making
any complaint to have an immediate trial.
Counsel have been employed who Will not
only look after the defense. but will look
to the vigorous prosecution Of The parties

A "GENTLEMAN FARMER. -
W iliihm Il. Vanderbilt, Jr., Buys Es.
tate on which to Indulge

William X. Vanderbilt, Jr., is to build
place to rival Biltmore, the estate of
lis uncle. Instead of going to the south
to do so, however, the young million
aire has bought the land for that pur-
puse in the Tuxedo district.
1t was said that the purchase made
by Mr., Nanderbilt's agents was the
largest ever made in this district, and
the tracts which they had bought for
him amounted to many thousands of
acres. The place is near the Havemeyer
estate.
The land which has been bought for
Mr.. Vanderbilt is for the most part
wooded. There are some farms in the
tract and one or two streams. The
idea of the young millionaire is to have
an immense model farm, where there
will be blooded stock and all the things
in which the gentleman farmer" takes

A COURAGEOUS GIRL.
Florence Foley, Aged II, Compels a
burglar TO Disgorse at Point
of a Revolver.

Seventeen-year-old Florence Foley,
daughter of Contractor Michael Foley,
faced burglar in her fathers home in
Evanston. ILL.,, the other day. The
/ Foley residence is at $50 Main street.
All of the family but Florence made a
/ trip TO Chicago. Just us the noon hour
struck she heard the street door open,
and then there was the sound of some-
one going stealthily upstairs TO the sec
ond floor.
! Miss Foley at first thought it was her
father, but as several minutes elapsed
! without any sound coming from above
she determined to investigate. She
went to desk, secured her fathers re-
yolver, and ascended the steps without
making n sound. She traversed a long
hall and at the rear of the building
came face to face with the robber. His
pockets were bulging with the loot he
had collected and watch chain
dhngled from his finger ends. The
brave young woman realized in an in
slant what was the strangers mission
and she leveled the pistol at his head
You drop those things or I'll shoot
! you." she declared in clear even tones,
aud the revolver never wavered from
the line with his temple.
The burglar looked down the gleam-
ing barrel, glanced at Miss Foley and
poured the contents of his pockets out
ON the floor. When the pocket was
turned inside out the plucky girl invit
ed her captive to lead the way to the
street door, where she gave him his lib
eIty.
And as he started down the street
he paused just long enough to say:
You're the gamest little wearer of
prtticoats in this mans town, and I'll
take off my hat to you"

panies could finally arrive at an agree

which would make strikes almost inn

we place far above any consideration
of the individual or organization the
question OF what shall be done for the
good OF all anthracite workers, their
wives and their children in this SUI

These are my sincere expressions

SITUATION IMPROVING.

AT noon to-day martial law was abol-
ished and the civil government resumed
control of affairs. The contract for
clearing the streets has been awarded
to a local firm No saloons will be per-
mitted to keep open.
Mrs Mussey, vice president OF the
Red Cross Society will leave for Wash

to the people of the country exactly
what is needed in Galveston.
The Galveston bay bridge was com
pleted at O'Clock this morning and the
first train to arrive Since September 5
pulled into the Union depot at 6:25
O'Clock. Full passenger train service
has been resumed by all the lines en-
tering the city via Virginia Point
Senior Lorente, Mexican consul, has
received official advice that the Con-
gress of his government has appropri-
ated $4,000 for the relief of Galveston.
This act of the sister republic of which
Texas was formerly a part. has made
a deep impression on the people of Gal
weston.
The sanitation of the city continues
to improve and Dr. Wilkinson, city
health officer, says that all danger from
an outbreak of any disease is now
passed.

AN OUTBREAK SURE.

HAZLETON. Pa, September 2.-The
Lehigh region to-day seemed to concern
itself more about the possibility of trouble
thaH any other one thing. Wherever one
went in this district, the belief was gem
eral that an outbreak will occur. There
was, however, 20 outward evidence any
where that such a thing is likely. The
deputies who arrived at Freeland, twelve
miles north of here, during the night.
from Wilkesbarre, are said to number
200. They were distributed along the pub
lio road from Freeand to Jeddo.
There were fewer cases of violence to-
day than yesterday.
This city has been unusually quiet, al
though large crowds of idle men were
congregated on most of the street corners
all day long.
AS to the strike situation itself, there
was no noticeable change to-day Both
the operators and the strike leaders claim
they have made decided gains on their
respective Sides

time in calling on the commander of the
national guard of Pennsylvania to send
troops to aid him in keeping the peace.
After consultation the State authorities
at Harrisburg decided at midnight to send
troops to the turbulent region.
Shenandoah's trouble was precipitated
by the closing of six collieries there this
morning through the efforts of the strike
leaders The outlook at midnight is du-
bious, as the foreigners affected by to-
days happening are in an ugly mood.
Elsewhere in the strike region every
thing Is quiet; although preparations are
making for an outbreak in the Hazleton
district, and armed sheriff's deputies are
much in evidence there.

WILKES-BARRE, Pa, Sept. 21.-The
coal operators issued this statement to-
day:
"All the Reading collieries in the
Schuylkill region are working. The
Cameron and Hickory Ridge collieries
of the Pennsylvania railroad company
are working full-handed. The Will
Jamestown mines of the same company
are also in operation. The Gehigh col
lieries in the Mahanoy region are work.
ing full-handed The report sent out
from Hazleton that the operators will
surrender rather than lose big win
ter's trade, is misleading. The opera
tors have made up their minds that
they will not recognize the miners
union if pound of coal is not mined
all winter. The issue is not so much
a question of wages as it is the recog-
milton of the union. The operators
of the anthracite region can never con-
sent to have a lot of bituminous men
run their business. In the first place,
the bituminous men know nothing
about the conditions governing the an
thracite trade And in the second place
1t would mean ruin for the anthracite
interests if the soft coal men were in
a position to dominate the anthracite
trnde"
The exodus of miners from this Sec
ton continues 1t is estimated that
seven hundred men left the Wyoming
valley yesterday for the west and the
bituminous regions. Two hundred
more left this morning. The English
speaking miners are gong west, while
the Slavs, Italians and Polanders are
going back to their old homes in Eu-
rope.
Owing to the scarcity of anthracite
many of the LOCOMOTIVES on the Central
railroad of New Jersey are compelled
to use soft coal.
