Houston, Texas (SpeciaD.-Governor
Joseph D. Sayers has made the follow
ing signed statement:
"The sIsuation in all parts of the
stricken district, SO far as known to
me-, is improved, and will, | believe,
should We have fair weather, continue
to improve. The method Of distribute
ing the benefacti0ns of the people has
become systematized and has been re-
duced to the lowest expense possible.
Il have supplied Galveston with suf-
fcient money to pay reasonable wages
to all laborers who will assist in
cleansing the city and removing the
vast amOut of debris that has accu-
mulated. Provisions and clothing have
also been shipped there to supply those,
who are needy and unable to proyiHe

@fhe loss Of life occasioned by the
storm in Galveston and elsewhere on
the southern coast cannot be less than
1900, while the loss Of property will
probably aggregate 20,0O0,OOO. Not
withstanding this severe affection, I
have every confidence that the strick-

that Galveston will from her present

New England, Pennsylvania and Ohio
and throughout a large part Of New

Philadelphia (SpeciaD. The great
strike of mine workers in the anthra-
cite coal fields of Pennsylvania, which
represent practically the hard coal
output of the world, began Monday.
According to President Mitchell, OF
the United Mine Workers of America,
who is personally directing the strike
from his headquarters at Hazleton, the
success of the four days effort to tie
up the mines exceeded the expecta-
tons of the strike leaders. He claims
that $4,000 men obeyed the summons
to go out.

to prevent him from getting as far as
Newark in an effort to escape.
Doyle went to work for Baldwin
last January. He had not been on the
farm long when he fell in love with
MI. Baldwin's daughter, who is twen-
ty years Of age. The girl was not
averse to Doyle's attentions, but Mr..
Baldwin objected to them on account
Of Doyle's fondness for liquor.
About three months ago Mr.. Bald
win discharged Doyle, who went to

at frequent intervals, and met Miss
Baldwin clandestinely.
Within the past week, however, Miss
Baldwin became convinced that what
her father told her about Doyle's
drinking habits was true, and she
broke her engagement to him.
Sunday Doyle visited Hilton, and
met Miss Baldwin in the parlor Of her
fathers house. She returned his pres
ents. He went away threatening VIC
lence.
A few days later he returned. Miss
Baldwin saw him through the dining
room window and started to run. He
fred at her, but missed. MI. Baldwin
seized his shotgun and rushed down
stairs. He found Doyle on the veran-
da. Both opened fire. The discharge
from the shotgun tore a gaping wound
In Doyle's chest. Four of the bullets
from Doyle's revolver struck Baldwin,
two in the breast, one in the leg and
one in the right shoulder.
Doyle then disappeared. He boarded
a trolley car. rode some distance and
then walked from Irvington to New
ark, six miles. He was found in a
semi-conscious condition on the steps
Of the Fireman's Insurance Company's
building, and was taken to the City
