PROF. SHORTLIDGE INDICATED.


Correction as to Insurance Suit on a Policy
on His Own Life.
Philadelphia Record yesterday.
1t is the well-known policy OF the
Record to treat all men with fairness,
and to correct any hurt inadvertently
inflicted on the innocent. We there
fore unreservedly retract the article
which was published in the Record on
Wednesday, October 10th, under mis-
apprehension OF the faols in regard to
an alleged insurance on the life Of
Prof. Swithin O. Shortlidge's dead
wife. We have never had any reason
to doubt that Prof. Shortlidge was in
sane in 1893, at the time his wife was
killed. and that the trial at Media was
fair and thorough, and the acquittal
perfectly just.
We are glad to make this correction,
which is due to Prof. Shortlidge. who
during long and useful career as the
head OF great school had maintained
character for the strictest Christian
integrity and the highest honor.
This policy on Prof. Sbortlidge's own
life could have no bearing on por con-
nection with his devoted wife's sad
and untimely death. Moreover, the
financial disasters which had broken
his health and dethroned his reason
might overtake any man. The fact is,
the endowment POLICY ut present. the
subject OF litigation and newspaper
comment was taken out in 1921
years ago, or II years before his second
marriage.

THE STRIKE WILL END IMMEDIATELY.

Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
Philadelphia, Pa, Oct. II. The con-
ference between the individual coal
operators and the representatives of
The, big oual-carrying companies, with
view to 6ring about the termination
of the anthracite coal strike, was re-
sumed this morning, in the private
office If President Harris of the Read
ing Railway Go. The meeting was
secret.
The conference began shortly after 8
O'Clock, and was in session about 10
minutes when John B. Garrett, vice
president of the Lehigh Valley rail
road, was called to the long distance
telephone, for a talk with someone in
New York. He returned Immediately
to the conference room.
Tho opinion was expressed by per-
sons in touch with the situation that
the main bone OF contention between
those participating in the conference is
the freight charges exacted by the coal
carrying companies. In considering the
resolutions of the mine workers con-
venticp. it is said that an agreement
on the part of the coal carrying COM
panies to reduce the freight charges
viii clear the way considerably for an
early settlement of the strike. A dis
cussion of this. rather than the resolu-
tions of the nina workers, is what Is
principally occupying the attention of
the conferees.
The question of the abolition of the
sliding scale, which is in operation in
the Schuy kill and Lehigh regions
only, whose interests are being cared for
respectively by the Reading officials
and Mr.. Garrett, is also subject for
discussion. 1t is being urged by the
individual operators that the scale be
abolished, but such move is opposed
by the two interests involved, their
representatives claiming that it is the
most equitable system of wage Fay
ments that can be evolved.
DR.. Herbert NJ. Howe, the Pardee
representative, left the conference room
at 11.30 o'clock, hut stated that he
would soon return. A II he would say
| in reply to questions az TO what WIS
going on was that no material progress
| has been made.
STRIKE TO END IMMEDIATELY.
The conference adjourned at 10. 80
O'Clock 1t resulted in an agreement
to accede to the demands made by the
Mine Workers Union.
The Philadelphia & Reading Coal
and Iron Go. at once issued the follow
ing statement: THE company hereby
withdraws the notice posted October
3D., 1900; agrees to bring about practi-
cal uniformity in the advance OF wages
in the several coal regions gives notice
that it will suspend the operation of
the sliding scale; will pay 10 per cent
advance on the September wages until
April LIST, 1901, and thereafter until
further notice, and will take up with
its mine employees any grievances
which they may have"
The Lehigh Valley company, in
whose region the sliding scale is also in
operation, will issue similar notice,
as will also the individual operators
who were represented at the meeting.
This meets all the demands of the
strikers, and means the immediate end
ing of the strike.

who followed, however. She took the
child from his arms when she saw their
escape was cut off, and cried to rolice-
man below to catch it. The policeman
held out his arms; and as the child
fell, he caught it safely and shouted to
her to drop. Sass had already hung
down and dropped to the ground. Mrs.
Horowitz was about to droI, when
flames burst through an awning on the
first floor with such fury that she was
driven back against the wall, and her
only escape was cut off. So fierce were
the flames that burst at the same time
from the awning below, from the win
dow behind her and from the floor of
the balcony under her feet that it was
impossible for the firemen to, rescue
her. On the balcony, only few feet
above the ground, but bedeed in on all
sides by flame, she was burned to death
before the eyes of the Mortified crowd
gathered in the street. Mrs. Sass, with
Morris had been unable TO get farther
