mitchell win Try to Restrain the
Miners.

Scranton, Pa, Oct. H.-President Nit
chell of the United States Mine workers
left the city yesterday for Hazleton.
where his services. he claims, are more
badly needed than here. He says that
aided by the other leaders he will ad-
dress himself to the task of getting out
the miners that are still at work. In
Lackawanna the strike Is as complete az
1t can possibly be. It Is an open secret too
that Mr.. Mitchell greatly fears an out
break OF violence in or about HazIeton
and he desires to be there to exercise re-
straining influence upon the mer.
The reports received from all quarters
last evening show the situation to be more
hopeful and those who ought 10 know say
that the strike will not continue longer
than this week. One operator said: I'VE
have the best Of assurances that the
strike will end by Saturday night. In
fact. early last week we knew pretty well
what the convention would do. There Is
win have TO wait for 10 to expend itself be-
fore the end Is reached"
The operators having announced in in
terviews that they have no official knowl-
edge Of what was done by the convention
on Saturday, President Mitchell said:
1--WE gather In the most OF our In
formation as to what the operators are
doing from the newspapers and suppose
they are doing the same. However. IL the
operators will meet a committee we will
be only too glad to appoint one to convey
them the result OF the convention. We
have always understood, though, that
the operators would not see committee

Chicago, Oct. 16. An open switch
at Eighty-fifth street South Chicago,
believed to have been purposely dis
placed, caused the death of two men.
seriously injured three others, and
made wreckage Of the engine and
forward part Of the New York and
Boston express train on the Lake
Shore g. Michigan Southern road. The
engine was demolished and two NAH
and two express cars We're piled up in
a heap, but the five passenger coaches
directly behind the baggage cars did
not leave the track, and their occu-
pants escaped injury. The train was
running forty miles an hour when II
struck the switch. The victims Of
the wreck were: f
Dead--H. J. yerough. fireman. TWEEN
ty-eight years old: lived at Eikhart.
Ind: caught under the wreckage Of
the engine and body cut in half.
Unidentified man, a tramp who was
stealing ride on the first mail coach;

skull fractured and internal injuries:
probably fatal.
L. c. Buttner, special officers Of the
railway; left side bruised: not serious.
Frank Morton. operator employed

It is believed the wreck was caused
by some persons who had deliberately
broken the switch. Three locks which
are used to hold the switch in place
had been broken and could not be
found. A dense fog that hung over
the city made 1t, impossible for the
engineer to see the signals and he
had no warning of the danger.

Philipsburg. Mont, Oct. IL. - The
death of Miss Amanda Fairman here
under mysterious circumstances. has
created sensation. She was found
dead In her room, having been shot in
the abdomen with a shotgun which
was lying on the table. No one was
in the house at the time. She was
well connected and was most esti-
mable young lady. and the suicide
theory is Indignantly denied. yet no
one is known to have possessed the
least malice toward her. Apparently.
too, robbery was not a motive as the
house was undisturbed.

Joseph McGrath, who was employed
as a collector for the water board,
was found floating in the river near
the fish hatchery. The circumstances
surrounding the discovery and the
condition of the body at the time 1t

the theory that McGrath was the
victim Of an assassin, and that the
probable motive of the murder was
robbery. Mr.. McGrath had been
