PINGREE WINS.
Legislators Adopt His Tax Plan and
Repeal Special Railroad Charters.

Lansing, Mich, Oct. 15.-The special
session of the legislature, which con-
vened Wednesday, adjourned after en-
acting into law two measures for
which Governor Pingree has striven
for years. One is his plan for the
taxation of corporate property. The
other is the repeal of special charters
for railroads.
The first measure is a joint resolu-
ton providing for the submission to
popular vote of constitutional
amendment giving the legislature the
power to levy taxes on the property
of corporations according to its val
ue. 1t is a radical departure from
the present methods of assessing the
railroads and other corporations on
their gross earnings. From the esti-
mates made by the experts employed
by Governor Pingree the new plan,
if adopted, will more than double the
taxes of railroad property in this
state.

CANNOT IDENTIFY HIM.
Dick Dodd swears He Has Never Seen
the Alleged y. j. Richie.

Ottumwa, Oct. 10.-A sensation
was sprung in the district court in
this city when Dick Dodd, who has
heretofore figured prominently in the
conviction of different persons i'm
plicated in the Eldon bank robbery
of 1897, went upon the stand and
testified that he had never seen one
alleged Samuel j. Richie, whom the
authorities arrested recently in Bal
timore, Md, on the charge of being
implicated in the robbery.
1t was thought right along that
Dodd would testify to the identity
of the man whom the authorities had
arrested. Richie stoutly maintain
ed that his name is S. j. Bryant. the
name under which he was doing bust
ness when arrested in Baltimore last
spring by the Chicago Pinkerton
agency. Captain w. f. forsee. assist
ant superintendent of the Chicago
Pinkerton agency, is here. 1t was
principally through his efforts that
past convictions of parties implicat-
ed in the robbery were made.

POLICEMAN SHOT BY STRIKERS.
Riot Takes Place Early In the Nor ming
Near SchuylktIl.

Hazelton, Oct. 1.-THE second fatal
clash between the striking miners
and non-union men occurred yester-
day at Coke Bros Oneida colliery,
in Schuykill county, when Ralph
Mills, coal and iron policeman, was
shot and instantly killed, and George
Keller, another policeman, and Jo-
seph Lipko, striker, dangerously
wounded. In addition about dozen
employees of the colliery were badly
injured by being stoned by the strik-
ers.
The shooting was the result of two
separate riots. The first began at 2
o'clock in the morning and reached
climax about 6 o'clock, when 300
men, boys and women, mostly Hun
garians, attacked the men on their
way to work. Stones were thrown
and the policemen who endeavored
to protect the non-strikers were
forced to seek shelter. No shots were
fired at this time and the marchers
dispersed.
The second clash was the result
of the attempt on the part of the
company to have q train of coal
cars from the slopes moved to the
breakers. The engineer was sur
rounded by men and women, who
stoned the engineer. Rev. Carl Hous-
er, Lutheran clergyman, appealed
to the mob to dispense, but his words
were unheeded. A persistent attempt
was made to run the train and the
men made a concerted rush upon the
guards, who ran in the direction of
the engine house. The strikers gave
chase and the firing followed. Prob
ably dozen shots were fired 1t IS
not known from which side the first
shot was fired. Sheriff Toole of
Pottsville was notified by the COM
pany of the need of instant protec-
ton. He was urged to request the
governor to send military aid.

Burlington, Oct. 1.-Two men,
who, it is thought robbed the three
young Ottumwa men in a box car in
IN eastbound train just east of
Charlton, and then threw them off
at Tower, while the train was running
at the rate of forty miles an hour.
were captured in this city by the
police and Burlington secret service
men. There is no doubt in the minds
of the officers but that they are the
men wanted. Articles found in
their possession indicate their con-
nection with the crime, and it is
on them it will go hard with the rob
bers, for Indignation is running high.
They will be taken back to Monroe
or Lucas county, where the crime
was committed, for trial.
The story of their crime in unusual
for it's bloodthirstiness. VIII Boyer
and a man named Burke, both of
0ttumwa, and an unknown man,
boarded the eastbound freight train
at Charlton Wednesday night, in
tending to steal ride home. A
short distance out of Charlton, two
other men boarded the train, and
after travelling short distance, pulled
revolvers on the three young men
and relieved them of 81. When the
train was passing Tower $40, just
west of Abba, the men were told that
they could take the alternative of
jumping at once, or of being shot.
They chose the former, and the
Ottumwa men were seriously injured.
The third alighted safely, with the
train running forty miles an hour,
and appraised nearby farmer of the
condition of his companions. The
wounder men were picked up and
their wounds dressed.
