Miners in the Wilke.bnrrc Region

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Nov. 1--:;erious
trouble is expected for some weeks in the
mines of this region over the two ques-
lions which were not settled by the strike.
They have already resulted in strikes at
four mines and others are expected to fol-
low. The topping rule, requiring that six
inches of coal shall be above the rim of
the cars when they reach the surface, is
causing dissatisfaction among the labor
ers. and at the Delaware colliery of the
Delaware and Hudson, and the Prospect
and Dorrance OF the Lehigh Valley Coal
Company, the men are on strike.
The Lehigh Valley mines did not resume
work until today. and the laborers refused
to work unless a new topping rule was
r.ade and a car considered loaded when
the coal reached water level AS this
would mean considerable loss to the COM
pany. it viii be refused. General Super
intendent Lathrop said:
I'VE granted the men an increase of
10 per cent over what they received be-
fore the strike. They are getting it. We
made no change in the amount of topping.
II the men desire to work they must obey
the topping rule"
The men at the Delaware Colliery at

selves and were promptly locked. This
is one of the questions which the men
will hasten to put before the operators,
with the hope o. having 1t adjusted
The other serious matter is the refusal
of the miners at the Delaware and Hud-
son colliery to pay their laborers the 10
per cent. They declare that they will
get only part of the 10 per cent increase.

work today. But owing to its being the

TRUE BILLS RETURNED.
Patterson Grand Jury Indicts Jennie
BOsxchieter's Alleged SIayers.

PATERSON. N. j.. Nov. 1.-THE grand
jury found indictments against Walter c.
McAllister. George ]. Kerr. Andrew
Campbell. and William A. Death for the
murder of Jennie Bosschieter, whose body
they threw away at the Wagaraw Bridge
two weeks ago. The grand jury followed
the instructions of Judge Dixon given
yesterday and indicted the quartette both
for murder and criminal assault. 1t is
the province of the petit jury to deter
mine the degree of murder.
The grand jury decided today to bring
these indictments in the court tomorrow
afternoon. They will be received by Judge
Parkalow in the Court of Quarter Sessions.
but as the Court of Oyer and Terminer has
cognizance OF such cases the men will not
be arraigned until Judge Dixon can come
here. That will probably be next week
The evidence presented to the grand jury
today was practically the same as that
presented to the coroner's jury last Mon
day. The witnesses were Chief of Police
Graul, County Physician Mcbride, DR.. Cy-
rus Townsend Cabman Sculthorpe. Leon
ard Kamerling, and Marinus Gary. The
grand jurors put DR.. Townsend and the
cabman through rigorous examination.
There has been great deal of criticism
of the physicians conduct in failing to re-
port the case until Monday, three days
after he had pronounced the girl dead when
the four men brought her to him in car
riage early on Friday morning.
DR.. Mcbride also spoke more freely to-
day in the grand jury room than he had
done so far. He said he had not received
the report of the chemist who is making
the test OF the stomach to discover The
presence of choral. He did not hesitate
to say, however, that the bottle found
near the body contained chloral and that
the girl died of poison. There was no di-
vision in the grand jury room on the
question of finding true bills. The indict-
ments will not be tried until the end of
the January term.

ON THE VERGE OF COLLAPSE.
Strain of the Campaign Too Much
for Roosevelt,


NEW YORK, Now 1.-The Brooklyn
Eagle" this evening says:
Governor Roosevelt is on the verge o,
physical collapse. His condition is SO
serious. 1t is said. that many meetings
will be cut off to case UP the strain upon
him, and in Difference to his appeals t.
relieve him. As a consequence, he will
not be in Brooklyn after all, the local
reason given for this disappointment be-
ing that halls cannot be hired. But tic
real reason Is that the State leaders are
worried that he may, break down at ai,y
moment. rt
AN Eagle reporter was informed at
Republican State headquarters this morn
ing that every possible arrangement
would be made to make the few remain
ing days before the election easier for the
candidate for Vice President. An init
mate friend of the Governor and one OF
the leaders in the campaign said this
morning:
An earnest effort was made to have
Brooklyn share in the Governors speak,
ing tour, and it was intended thai lie
should practically bring his campaign to
a close in Long Island, his home, by
series of meetings Roosevelt himself
was most anxious to appear N the dis
tricts he went through when ne ran for
Governor. Recently, however, kilograms
have come from him begging The manage
ment to cut out some of the work up the
State in order to give him n RESI-. THIS
is so unusual for him that it worried US.

man. The terrible strain he has been I'M

now, but he insists upon finishing up HIS
present route, in order not to disappoint
the men who have made big arrangements
for him.
benjamin B. odell, jr. chairman of the
State committee, said this morning that
Roosevelt would do little more talking in
the campaign and would reserve his efforts
for his party in Manhattan. where every
thing would be done to make the day COM
Portable for him.
Nor is Roosevelt the only one who has
felt the strain. Lieutenant Governor
Woodruff and Col. Archie Baxter, who will
be in Brooklyn tomorrow night, have can
celed some engagements made and will
probably end the campaigning here.

200 to 500 miles every day for a month or

me he will speak no more after the meet
ing in Brooklyn, and / simply could not.
So please recognize the fact that it is only
our keen appreciation of the town and its
people that makes us agree to speak at
even this one more meeting.

TO PREVENT ILLEGAL VOTING.
OFFER Rewards for
Conviction of Offenders.


NEW YORK, Nov 1.-The Campaign
Committee of the National Association of
Anti-Imperialfst Clubs at an adjourned
meeting held today at the Hoffman House
decided to offer a reward of 500 for the
arrest and conviction OF any and all per-
sons illegally registering or illegally vot-
ing at the coming election. The commit
tee, consisting of Messrs. Fred William
Jansen. j. F. Harder and c. c. Hughes.
in announcing its decision to offer the
reward, stated also that it had appointed
a legal committee of eminent lawyers be-
longing to the association for the pur-
pose OF Inspecting registration and watch
Ing the polls to prevent illegal work of
this character.
The following gentlemen. members Of
the National Association of Anti-Impe-
rialist Clubs have been requested to act
on the - poumittee: Judson Harmon,
At torney Genere, OF the United States
udder President Cleveland; e. NJ. Shep-
ard. OF Brooklyn. F. w. Hinrichs. of
Brooklyn; Austin g. Fox. of New York;
Edwin Burrett smith, of Chicago, and
Herbert p BisselI, of Buffalo.
This committee will have power to add
to its number, The announcement OF the
offer has been long in contemplation by
the campaign committee. The long odds
offered By publican bettcrs ON the re-
suit Of the election in the face OF facts
which the anti-imperia1ists claim pint
u victory for Bryan. lead to the sus-
picion that the Republicans may have up
their sleeve some plan for unlawfully Sc
cur. he election of their candidates.
Numerous reports of doodle 10 be used
also s2urred the committee on to mas
ter effort.
c. c. Hughes. Secretary of the National
Campaign Committee, said today that the
Information from the doubtful States
gathered from anti-imperialist sources
indicated that Bryan and Stevenson void
poll 3i7 electoral votes and Mckinley and
Roosevelt 100 electoral votes. and that
despite this indication the Republicans
were betting long odds on the election of
Mckinley and Roosevelt. The inference
drawn by the campaign committee IS hat
the Republican National Committee has a
large corruption fund, and intends 10
use It.
Secretary Hughes stated that the legal
committee would probably study up the
election laws OF the different States. al d
would take such legal steps to enquire
into the disposition of the Repubii AN
