In view OF the operators firm declara-
tion that they will not recognize the

Dempsey, who Is in charge of the Wyo-

position on that subject" replied Mr..

A DUEL ON A TRAIN.
Old Enemies Fight TO the Death in
Crowded Cars.

tEcmuei
LEBANON. Ky, Sept. 2j.-For the first
time in two years NJ. W. Penn aad ]. l.
Whitlock met yesterday. The meeting
took place on a crowded passenger train,
and pistol duel followed in the pres nee
of q score of women. WhitlOck died
each other on the platform of the smok
ing car. Whitlock saw Penn first and
started for him. Penn apparently did
not wish to fight, for he turned and ran.
He passed out of the smoker and into
the baggage car ahead. AS they neared
the forward end of the baggage car
Whitlock fired. Then Penn turned and
fired 4 shot and advanced toward Whit
lock. who began TO retreat slowly.
Through three coaches they fought from
the baggage car back into the parlor car.
Conductor B. w. Strong entered the smok-
er Just as the men did and a bullet struck
him in the leg. In the ladies' coach, near
the rear. Whitlock turned for last stand
Penn steadied himself against seat. took
deliberate aim. and put three bullets in
rapid succession within six inches of each
other into Whitlocks breast. 1t was good
shooting. Whitlock threw up his arms and
fell forward in the aisle dead.
Penn put up his weapon and surrender
ed himself to the passengers. Both men
had emptied two revolyers during the
duel. After the fight was over it was dis
covered that in addition to the wound in
Conductor Strong's leg, three passengers
had been hit. In the Jim Grow" car a
negro had been shot through the body.
and in the next car back a woman's arm
had been clipped and a baby had slight

MINERS FORCED TO STRIKE.
4 Scheme of the Barons to Drive Up
the Price of Coal

THE strike in the anthracite coal re-
gion has without doubt been brought
about by the Coal Trust. and the harons
are now working their same old scheme
fer raising the price OF coal.' said a
prominent coal man yesterday THE
trust has not been satisfied with its
present enormous profit. 1t wants a still
further increase in dividends. Rather
than raise the price in open defiance of
all reason, however, the trust mas been
steadily scheming to make conditions so
onerous that the men would be forced to
strike. Since the strike started there has
been a steady rise in the price of the
fuel Already the increase amounts TO
Is cents a ton, and that is pure profit.
The barons expect TO make a settlement
with the miners in the next two months.
BY that time the public will be in a meas
ure accustomed to paying for coal at the
arbitrary advance fixed by the trust. 1t
will be easy then to keep up the new
scale of prices.
People who want their stock of co:l
for the winter can lay in their supplies
right now at present prices. for there
will be no reduction in the cost after the
strike is settled Trusts don't do busi-
ness that way. They are after all the
profit that can be made, and they will
not consent to reduce the prices.
THE scheme of the barons is to give
the strikers some concessions, such, per-
maps as doing away with company stores
and monthly pay days. but there will be
no increase in pay. These scanty con-
cessions, however, which mean little to
the trust. will be harped upon as in
creasing the cost of production snd COM
pelling increased prices for coal.
Beyond question the trust has made
the condition of the miners so onerous
that a strike has been forced upon the
workingmen, and the sole reason fer the
policy is to drive up the price of coal"

CoNFERRING WITH MORGAN.
Anthracite Railroad Presidents Dis
cuss the Strike situation.

NEW YORK. Sept 26.-An informal con-
feasibility of settling it was held today at
the office Of J. p. Morgan & Co., and was
attended by a number e the anthracite
railroad presidents. Mr.. Morgan himself Is
heavily interested in several of the leading
anthracite coal roads.
Among those who are known to have
talked the matter over with him are Presi-
Gent William H. Truesdale, of the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western; President
z. B. Thomas, of the Erie, and President
George F. Baker, OF the First National
Bank, who is director in the Jersey Gen.
Tral and the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western. Other men interested in anthra-
cite railroads saw Mr.. Morgan, but who
they were cannot be learned. Two of tho
anthracite roads, however, were not rep
resented namely, the Delaware and Hud-
son. of which r. NJ Olyphant is president,
and the New York. Ontario and Western,
of which Thomas H. Fowler is president.
Those who saw Mr.. Morgan were disin-
clined afterward to say much. One of the
presidents says that nothing has been
done. Another man familiar with the situ-
alton, said that while the strike had not
been settled. it is to be settled, and that
Mr.. Morgan and his associates were anx-
ious TO adjust 1t, and were going TO do so
II it could be done.
Wall Street heard shortly before .
o'clock, when business ceased on the New
York Stock Exchange, that the strike had
actually been settled as a result Of a meet
ing at the office of ]. p Morgan & Co.
When this report was repeated to Mr.. Nor
gan, he replied.
That is not true. The strike has not
been settled at any meeting in my Office
President Truesdale OF the Delaware,
Lachawanna and Western. said late in the
afternoon that the strike had not been set
tied. He fatty denied a report that the
operators would be prepared tomorrow to
grant concessions to the miners, and said
that tho situation was unchanged. Mr.
Truesdale had not seen Archbishop Ryan,
of Philadelphia. who came TO this city on
Tuesday TO confer with President Olyphant
and Mr. Truesdale
Mr. Truesdale learned this morning that
the Archbishop had called at his Office too
late on Tuesday afternoon to see him. The
Archbishop did not succeed either in meet
ing Mr.. Olyphant. He called at Mr.. Oily
plants home, 161 Madison Avenue, but Mr.
0lyphant was laid up suffering from an
accident, and the Archbishop saw David
Wilcox, attorney for the Delaware and
Hudson.
It was reported on excellent authority
that Archbishop Ryan had nevertheless
seen representatives OF the anthracite rail-
roads and heard the other side OF the story
as presented by them to him. Whether he
had seen Mr. Morgan could not be learned
He was not at Mr.. Morgan's Office at to-
days conference.

PRETORIA, Sept. 26.-General Roberts

ed them for their excellent work. which,
he said, he greatly appreciated, particu-
larIy at Paardeberg. He said he was sure

pride how gallantly and spiendidly all
had behaved He deplored the fact that
the Canadians had suffered so heavily.
The regiment had had 100 killed or wound
ed, but there could be no war without
lcsses.
lie regretted the necessity for some of
the troops returning home before the
others, Dut he recognized that private af
fairs required their presence in Canada.
He was confident that their excellent SER
vice would never be forgotten by the
Queen and the British people. General
Roberts concluded by saying that if be
ever visited Canada he hoped he would
meet the regiment. His speech was greet
ed with cheers

SCRANTON. Pa, Sept. 26.-The report

ha We been generally misunderstood. There
is no intention on the part of the op-

an inducement for the men to so to

as a concession that might be misun-
