TWO SENSATIONAL ADvEN-
TUEES

The following is going the rounds
of Washington, ID. G. town talk :
Twenty five years ago Senator Elk
ins was prosperous attorney in
the mining districts of the West.
One day Senator Clark, who was
then a poor prospector, came into
Elkins' office. Elkins was too busy
to see him. He went away and
returned next day. Ee had a min
ing claim and wanted to interest
Elkins. Elkins again was too busy
to see him. The miner in the outer
room made so much trouble that a
big ''bO,ncer' was called in to put
Clark out. When Elkins heard
the scuffie he came out, dismissed
the bully, and gruftly invited Clark
inside.
'.See this,' said Clark, enthu-
siastically, as he pulled out mug
get as big as Walnut. "That's
gold, Mr.. Elkins."
In those days there were so many
wild cat prospectors that Elkins
did not put faith in Clark's rosy
pictures. Clark went away sorrow
fully. Now he has got twenty mil
lions to Elkins' one.

NJ. F. Dryden, the victim in the early
morning tragedy, was known person
ally or by reputation, to almost every
man, woman and child in this city.
He is also we'll known throughout West
Virginia. through his connection some
wears ago with the West Virginia Con-
ference OF the NJ. E. church.
Mr.. Dryden, while a young man, was
also a resident OF this city, and while
employed as salesman in a dry goods
store on South Main street, developed
strong religious tendencies, and o
up a course Of study to prepare him.
self for the ministry. He subsequently
became pastor of the North street M, Z.
church, where his zeal, and his ability
as a pulpit orator attracted much at
tention. He was naturally a polished
and fluent talker, and possessed an ad-
mirable command of language, and his
sermon were always heard by large
congregations.
1t was while pastor OF this cnurch
that Mr.. Dryden engaged in a pulpit
and newspaper controversy through
the columns of the Wheeling Register,
with Ri. Rev. ]. ]. Kahn, Bishop OF
Wheeling, and now Archbishop of st.
Louis. The controversy attracted
much attention from Protestacts and
Catholics alike. and was perhaps the
most notable of its kind in the history
Of Wheeling. 1t was started by the
publication of a card from the Rev. Mr..
Dryden, in which the writer took issue
with Bishop Kahn upon some state
nents made by the latter in one OF his
series of Lenten m upon the Ro-
mar Catholic doctrine of Nansubstan-
tiation. Bishop Kahn replied, and the
newspaper debate was conducted
some degree of acrimony. Cons

able bitterness Of feeling was also
aroused in the community, and other
ciergymen of Catholic and Protestant
denominations contributed to the liter
ature on the subject, several members
Of the laity also becoming involved.
During the heat Of the discussion Mr..
Dryden accepted an invitation to listen
to one of the Ri. Rev. Bishops sermons,
and the controversy eliminated in a
meeting of Cathedral clergy and Mr..
Dryden in the Register Office, both sides
bringing many volumes of ecclesiastical
literature to sustain their respective
views as to the proper translation of a
point in dispute.
1t was not long after this controversy
ended until Mr.. Dryden severed his con-
neetion with the pastorate of the North
Street Church. After that he probably
had another charge at some point in the
State.
In any event it appears that his theo-
logical views underwent a radical
change, for soon after his return he
gave out a newspaper interview in
which he gave expression to some rath-
er peculiar views, which were ,subse-
quently embodied in a public lecture
which he delivered in Odd Fellows hall.
There were few, If any. persons who ac-
cepted his views upon religious subjects
at that time.
Mr.. Dryden evidently renowned the
ministry for all time, for he took UP
the study of law and was admitted TO
practice at the Ohio county bar. He
associated himself with w. P. Robin
son. and later with Charles ]. Schuck.
Both co-partnerships were dissolved by
Mr.. Dryden's partners because of dis
satisfaction with him. Mr.. Dryden

PARKERSBURG, w. Va, October 4.
The news of an express robbery
which has been kept very quiet and
about which very little information
can be secured, has reached here. The
robbery occurred at Marietta last Mon
day between 10 a. M. and noon. A
package containing money was taken
from the safe in the Adams Express
Company's office there. Each of the
two drivers and the agent had been
alone in the room during the time
when it was taken. The amount taken
is said to have been over twenty thou
sand dollars, But the information in
Marietta is that it was only about two
hundred dollars. 1t is stated positive
~ by parties here who claim to know,
that the amount taken will reach at
least $50, 000. Two detectives arrived
at Marietta to-day to look up the case.

NEW YORK. october 4.-According to
the Iron Age in its weekly review of the
iron and steel trade situation, a tendency
toward weakness has developed in the pig
iron markets. due primarily to the fact
that the lowering In freight rates from
southern furnaces has mad competition
keener from that source. This applies not
only to foundry irons, but also to basic
irons. moderate quantities of which lave
been sold. In the Pittsburg district Bes-
semer pig has sold down to $685., and it is
stated that s13 might be entertained for
large lots. In Pittsburg there have also
been sales of low phosphorus pig to the
extent of from 5000 to 10,oOo tons.

IA, october 4.-NOt the
slightest notice has been taken by the
striking miners of the 10 per cent offer
ed to the employees by several of the
larger coal companies. AS far as is
definitely known not n striking miner
has accepted the advance, but on the
other hand, more men have quit their
places, notably in the ~Schuylkill region,
where three additional collieries of the
Reading Company were shut down.
The United Mine Workers officials are
still hafd at work trying to close the few
mines that continue in operation. All
the organizers and the national commit
teemen were in this part of the field to-
day only President Mitchell being on
duty at headquarters. President Mitch
ell did little else than attend to his cor
respondence and answer telephone calls
from different sections of the region.
When he was asked what was new in
the strike situation he briefly replied:
"We are waiting on the operators"
He says he had no information to-day
as to the movements of the mine owners
other than that printed in the newspa-
pers. He also remarked that the call
for an anthracite miners convention is
not yet in sight.
When the Convention is Called,
however, Scranton will probably be
chosen for it because of its availability
for convention purposes. But it is too
early yet to SAL that a convention will
be held there next Wednesday.
Applications by striking miners for
relief are beginning to be received by
local unions in several sections of the
anthracite field. President Mitchell
said tonight that wherever applica-
tons have been made for relief, neces-
sary supplies were furnished. A re-
port was received from Wilkesbarre
to-day that a committee representing
% locals embracing about $4,000 miners
would confer with the national presi-
dent I'VE the telephone about relief
but up to tonight this has not taken
place.
About eighty men marched from
Freeland to Pond Creek to-day for the
purpose of inducing forty men employ
ed by the Pond Greek & W~ilkesbarre
Coal Company to join the strikers. The
marchers reached there at noon, just
as the men were leaving the mines.
trobe, president of the company, and
Supt. Thomas Mcfarland, and explain
ed to the strikers that the company
was

and would send no coal to market If
the strikers would not ask the men to
quit work. The marchers agreed to
this proposition and Mr.. Latrobe took
the Freeland men to the village grocery
store and treated them to crackers and
apples.
The United Mine Workers are max
ing extra efforts to get the men who
are still working in the Panther Creek
valley to strike and join the union.
More organizers have been sent into
the valley with the hope of swinging
the 1900 men still working there into
line.
President Mitchell said to-day that
