The Bliss Rumor.-No credence is
given in well-iuformed circles in this city
10 the story sent out from New York that
Senator Hanna has induced the Hon. Cor
ueliUs y Bliss to reconsider his decIiua-
ti0n TO stand for the Vice Presidential
nomination. II is known that about three
months ago Mr.. Bliss promised both Mr.
Hanna and Mr. McK.Gley that he woulI
permit the use Of his name for second place
on the ticket. but since then Senator Plat.
has 30 fastened his hold upon the party
machine in New York as 10 be the absolute
master Of the situation there. The WHY
Platt accepted the Bliss candidacy al frs,
as the easiest way TO escape serious trouble
over the scheme Of the Administration 20
force the nomination Of Secretary Roof. In
the preliminary stages of the game Mr.
Plat,'s great desire was to completely head
OF the Root business Having done this by
accepting Bliss as a compromise. his next
task was TO so confuse the issue as 20 make
Bliss an impOssibility. From the inception
of the game Platt's sole purpose has been
TO get rid Of Roosevelt by forcing him into
The Vice Presidency. and thus leaving the
tOrial candidate who can be relied upon to
carry out the behests Of the State machine
The Senator is being given credit for work
ing out his scheme with ccnsUmmate skill
tor now II Is growing evident that unless
Roosevelt consents to accept the Vice Pres
dential nomination he will be completely
shelyed this year. Ii is regarded as proba-
ble that Roosevelt can secure re-nomina-
tion by the proper use Of the new patron
age placed at his disposal by the Legislat-
ure which has just adjourned. but a re-
nomination over Platts protest would quite
probably mean humiliating and To nous
defeat ar the polls in November Defeat
for reelection would completely destroy
the Rough Rider. ard all Of his dreams of
future greatness would go glimmering The.
probabilities are that MIR Hanna went to
New York for the sole purpose Of studying
at close range the conditions there as to
Roosevelt, and to help along the Plat game
rather than to confuse things by Dragon
ing Mr.. Bliss into the race for Vice Presi-
dent against the earnest wishes Of Mr.

STRIKE Is ON.
But Miners VIII Accept Ten Per
Cent Raise.

Scranton, Pa, October 13.-The anthra-
cite coal miners now on strike, after a
two days convention, late this afternoon
decided to accept the ten per cent net In
crease in wages offered by the mine own
ers providing they viii continue the pay
ment Of the advance until next April and
will abolish the sliding scale. If the op-
orators consider the proposition unaccept-
able the miners are willing to arbitrate
the questions at issue. They also decided
to continue the strike until the operators
agree to the conventions proposal. The
resolution is as follows:
1--WE, your committee, respectfully sub
nit the following preamble and resol u
tions for your consideration:
Whereas, the anthracite coal operators
have posted notices Offering an advance
of ten per cent over wages formerly paid,
and have signitied their willingness to
adjust other grievances with their own
employees; and
Whereas, they have failed to specify
the length Of time this advance would re-
main in force, and have also failed to
abolish the sliding scale method of deter
mining wages; we would recommend:
''That this convention accept an ad-
vance Of ten per cent providing the opera
tors VIII continue its payment until April
1, 1901; and will abolish the sliding scale
in the Lehigh and Sehuylkin regions; the
scale of wages in the two last named dis
triots to remain stationary at ten per cent
above the present basis price; ana that
the companies will agree to adjust other
grievances complained with committees
Of their own employees
SHOULD this proposition be unacoept-
able to the operators, we recommend that
the convention propose that all questions
at Issue be submitted to a fair aud i'm
partial board OF arbitration.
We would further recommend tha t
under no circumstances whatever should
there be a resumption of work at any Of
the coIIeries until the operators signify
their acceptance of this proposition and
you are notified officially that the strike
is ended and all return TO work in body
on the same day"
Judging by the unanimity of the min
ers in accepting the above resolution and
by the determined stand taken by the oD-
orators it is generally beiieved that a long
contest between the strikers and the
mine owners is not unlikely. There was
great enthusiasm in the convention when
the counter proposition to the operators

WOMEN AS CONDUCTORS.
They Ran the Cars in ROckIand 70
Sweet Charity's Sake.

Roekland, October 13.-Tha the Rock
and, Thomaston & Camden electric road
would begWen patronized Saturday was
an assured fact, for we'll known young
ladies Of this city acted in the capacity OF
conductors. This was novel feature
considering the worthy object to which
the receipts OF the day viii be devoted.
Many who were IN the habit Of walking
aYailed them selves OF a tide in order to
see what kind OF a conductor a woman
can make.
The lady conductors who owned the
street railway, Saturday, October 18th, for
the benefit of ROckland's Old Ladies'
Home reported at the street railway wait
ing room, Main street, in season to take
cars on time per schedule. The regular
conductors run cars and the ladies col
Iected the money without ringing in
fares, returning the collection to clerks at
theoffice who counted and reported the
receipts Of each conductor.

COBURN WILL CASE.
shn the Money of the Great Estate
Makes Law Business.

Augusta, October Is An interesting
opinion was rendered by the law court
Friday in the case Of George n. Page,
trustee, Of Sko8hegan, VS.. Abner Paul
Marston and others or California, inYoIT-
ing some $50, 600
The viii OF the late Abner Coburn gave
q certain share OF his estate TO Alonzo c..
Marston to be held in trust by him for
his son, Abner Paul NarstOn, Alonzo
c. Marston declined to accept the trust
and George n. Page was appointed trus-
tee. Abner Paul Marston became q Oc-
tober 1899, and the plaintiff asked for
decree Of the court as to whether the
trust ended there or continued after
wards. 1t appeared that young Marston
before reaching his majority spent money
rapidly and mads three assignments Of
his share to four different parties to ssF-
eral loans aggregatlng s85, ,568 and they
also made answers to the Dill IN equity Of
Page. It also appeared that in January,
1900. AIonzo c. and Abner Paul Marston
made a joint conveyance Of the entire
property to George H. Collins.
The defendants all contested that the
trust ended at Abner PauIs majority
and the court in its rescript drawn by
Judge Whitehouse 50 holds and DEGREES /
that the property shall be turned over to 1
Collins and that Page settle his final ac-
count at an early day.

Break in Ranks Of Idle Strikers NAY
Come.
President Mitchell Has
Confidence in Men.
COlIeries in Operation Are
Heavily Guarded.

Hazleton, Pa, October 1.-The indi-
viduaI coal operators who could be seen
here today, declined to discuss the action
taken by the anthracite miners conven-
tion at Scranton, yesterday. Neither
would they say what steps the employers
+ probably would take. It Is evident from
their reticence that the individual mine
owners ara waiting to see what the large
coal carrying railroads that mine coal
VIII do.
It is reported IN the coal region tonight
that the presidents OF those roads will
hold a conference in New York tomorrow
FOR discussion OF the action Of the conyen-
tion.
There was d story afioat today that the
operators will accept the convention S
decision but nothing has come to the sur
face in this region on which to base the
report that the United Mine Workers
officials say they are waiting on the
operators and they will continsue to close
up the coIlieries that have been in opera
tion since the strike began four Wesks
ago. There are many reports in circula-
tion that If the strike continues much
longer, a break In the ranks of the idle
men Will occur.
President Mitchell and his associate
officials, however, reasssrt their conf
dence that the men both union and non
union viii remain away from the mines
until after the strike is declared OF.
There is fear prevalent in this region
that if some of the men do return to
work trouble propably would arise
through efforts of the strikers to persuade
the men to remain on strike.
All the collieIies that are working still
remain heavily guarded.
THE SOLDIERS WATT.
Shenandoah, Pa, October a. Gener-
al Goblin, in charge Of the State troops
located here since the strike riot of Sep
tember q, is anxiously awaiting the
verdict of the operators in regard to the
terms Of settlement agreed upon at the
Scranton convention. He is anxious to
get away and to send the troops home
but the outbreaks at Oneida and Latti-
mer last week and the condition OF affairs
in the Panther creek region causes him to
hesitate. 1t is probable that there will
be no movement OF troops until it is
known whether the proposed terms OF
agreement are acceptable to the opera
tors.

WHISTLE BLEW,
Boys HoOted and Coal Carts RattI ed
About

Louisville, KY, October 13.-Louisville
tonight gave Governor Roosevelt an en-
thusiastic reception. the programme
concluding with a crowded meeting at
the auditorium. This was in mark ed
contradistinction to the greeting offered
him at EIizabethtown. the last stop before
the special reached this city.
The Republicans had done all in their
power to make the candidates. stop there
a pleasant one. No sooner had the Gov
ernOr mounted the platform with Gen.
Buekner and other members of his par
ty, than an attempt was made to break
up the meeting. Small boys carried
Bryan banners on the outskirts Of the
crowd and empty coal wagons were driven
at full speed through the square The
steam whistle on a mill close by was
blown loudly and half a hundred men or
more shouted "Hurrah for Bryan, -
when the Governor began speaking. De-
spite the fact that he had a soreness of
his throat which had compelled him to
shorten all his earlier speeches during the
day, he proceeded to make himself heard
in spite OF the noise, Above the shrek
of the steam whistle rang the words:
81 call your attention to the attitude of
Mr.. Bryan's friends on the subject of
law and order.''
Then he waved his hand to the crowd
and continued: 1T is natural that the
men who have tried to deprive Kentucky
OF a free ballot should be opposed to free
speech. It is not extraordinary that the
men who have stolen the cover norshfp
and who seek to steal 1t again should not
dare hear the truth of history, but
should seek to gag an American citizen |
even before be had uttered one word of /
his opinions in political controversy"
This brought cheers and more inter-
ruptions and the Governor was urged
not to further endanger his troat, but
to permit substitute to finish the pro-
gramme. He rejected the suggestion,
however, and spoke the full 10 minutes
allotted to him and was escorted to his
train by a large crowd.
Just a put up job to break up the
meeting was Governor Roosevelt's
comment when he returned to his car,
"but I guess I got back at them.''
When the train reached Louisville it
was stormed by an admiring, curious.
surging mob which followed the party
to the Gait house. Having been intro
duced by A. E. Wilson, candidate fol
Congress, the Governor spoke at length

A BEAR WHO WENT PIG SHOOT
ING.

(From the Topeka State CapitoI.)
The black bear Of the AlIeghanies is
nothing If not a humorist. While his days
are usually few and full OF trials, he
makes the most Of them, often to the
ohagIin of his lord and master, man. His
appetite for young pork is oftsn his
undoing, but there are some smart bears
who managesto catch a shoat or two once
IN while without coming to grief.
Former John Shuck, who lives away
back in the mountains, makes a business
OF raising hogs A year cor so after he
started in the business all the bears
within a radius of 100 miles had heard of
it. At least that is what Shruck thinks
At any rate, Shuck's young pigs began
to disappear at an alarming rate from
an inclOsure which he deemed impregna-
bic, At first he did not understand it,
Then friend suggested bears.
Full Of the bear story, Shuek loaded a
shotgun with sIugs and laid in wait for
his enemies. Six nights he sat uD with
out result, and on the seventh, when
tired almost to death, he went to bed,
TWO Of his pigs disappeared. Then he
thought OF a trap gun Shuck's trap gun
was an elaborate affair, calculated to Kill
everything within a radius of ten miles
when it went off, 1t was loaded with
slugs to the muzzle and pointed at the
open door CT the sty : where, he reasoned,
any sensible bear would enter. A string
across the door provided the necessary
exploding arrangement,
After setting the trap the first time,
Shuck went to bed confident or having
bear meat for breakfast. About mid
night he heard the gun go of Rising
hastily, he hurried to the sty and arrived
just in time to see the favorite of his
flock disappear, personally conducted by
a large black bear. With his customary
curiosity Bruin had shifted at the gun
caught the string near the trigger, ex-
plOding the trap without harm to the
bear. Unfortunately, the buokshot tore
through the sty, killing four pigs and
driving the remainder out Of the sty.

probably Be sold at auction
American soldiers have not been offici-
ally allowed to loot but only to forage.
which means that parties have gone out
daily over the American quarter and
collected the things most needed by the
troops, such as bedding, furniture for
camp use, etc.
Most Of the soldiers on the march to
Pekin threw away their blankets and
other impedimenis which rendered the
march under a burning sun unbearable.
At night, now. they would suffer from
cold if they had not been allowed to
commander the necessary covering. It
is only human nature if the soldier boys
in that duty should pick robes of ermine,
gray fox SKINS and other warm furs
rather than those Of a coarser and ugier
appearance. Some of the most persis-
tent looters have been the missionaries.
Recently meeting one with five cart
loads of furs and antique furniture
Major Waller asked the missionary by
what right he had taken the things and
to his astonishment was told that they
had been taken by permission of Major
Waller He informed the missionary
that he was mistaken as he himself was
Major Waller and that he should conts-
cate every bit OF 1t.

New York, October 1.-The Red Cross
line steamer Cametense which arrived
this morning from Manaos and Para,
brought as passengers Captain Sproul
and seven shipwrecked seamen of the
schooner Mary E. Lormand OF ThOmaston
which was abandoned at sea on Septem-
Der 18th while on the voyage from Fer
nandina for Martinique. The Mary E.
Lermond was a new vessel less than a
year old. She sailed from Fernandina
on August p, bound to Martinique with
a cargo of lumber on Septe mber II, when
about 23O miles 5. S W. OF Bermuda she
encountered a hurricane from S. E., to
S. W, accompanied by tremendous sea
in which vessel was dismasted and water
logged. All hands were finally rescued
by the steamer Hilary and landed at Para
on September %.
Tbs Mary E. Lermond registered 27S
