WIPED OFF THE EARTH.
Topeka People Worried by a Startling
Weather Rumor.

According to a weather forecaster
from somewhere, who claims that he
predicted the Galveston storm, Topeka
was to have been wiped from the face of
the earth this afternoon by a cyclone
the equal, if not worse than the one
which visited Texas
This rumor gained some credence yes
terday afternoon and was the topic for
conversation at a number of the down
town stores and clubs last. evening.
Had the prediction been made for yes
terday the peculiar threatening weather
would have caused people to become
alarmed. People who had talked the ru-
about midnight. during the progress of
the thunder storm, began to think that
there was something in the prediction
and that the storm had come earlier
than was expected.
However the thunder storm has
blown over and the cyclone did not ma
terialize and we may once again take
comfort from the fact that Topeka is SO
far secure.

FEAR ARBITRATION.
Mine Operators Say 1t is Not to
Be Thought OF.

Wilkesbarre. Sept. 19.-The big demon
stration in Pittston last night has
strengthened the lines Of the strikers in
that town. Everything is shut down
close today. The operators report that
none of their collieries is in operation.
The operators in this section do not take
kindly to the arbitration idea. Superin-
tendant Lathrop of the Lehigh Valley
company says:
ut is impracticable and impossible. A
great corporation having millions of dol
lars of property could not place its IN
terests in the hands of outsiders who
know nothing about the property and
about the manner of conducting the bus
mess. They might arbitrate TO the ruin
alton of the companys interests There
is too much at stake, too many details
of business which a board of arbitra-
ton would know nothing about, to make
arbitration possible"
Mr.. Lathrop voices the sentiments of
all the operators and this fact being
known leads the community to believe
that the struggle between the opposing
forces viii be a long and bitter one
Some miners seem to realize the situa-
ton and rather than spend a long period
in idleness they are going to other parts
of the country for work The agents of
the railroads in this city say the best
miners are going to Illinois, New Mexi-
co, Arizona and Washington.
At noon today President Mitchell said:
Most encouraging reports have been re-
ceived from the Hazelton and Schuyl-
kill districts The most gratifying re-
port was that $500 employees of the Phil
adelphia and Reading at Mahanoy City
and vicinity decided to strike. This Is
the first break of any magnitude among
the employees of the Reading company
and it is indicative of the course to be
followed by the remainder of their en-
ployes from this time on. As we predict
ed at the beginning of this contest. the
miners have in no instances violated the
la wand are all conducting themselves
quietly, with an apparent determination
to continue the contest until their just
demands have been acceded to-

PLEADS AN ALIBI.
Howard Goes on the Stand in His
Own Defense.

Frankfort, KY Sept 1e.-The defense
began introducing its testimony in the
Howard case today. The statement of
facts which the defense expects to prove
will tend to show that Howard arrived
in the city about 80 minutes prior to the
assassination and did not go to the state
house till several hours after the tragedy;
that Howard was then and had been clean
shaver for year past, and that he was
not the man seen running from the cap
fto1 grounds or later standing the steps
o fone of the buildings, that man ac-
cording to the witnesses had a beard.
Howard had come to Frankfort for the
purpose of procuring a pardon for the
murder of George Baker but Governor
Taylor refused to consider his applica-
ton Attorney Little in outlining the plan
of the defense said the defense would
prove that Howard would have to borrow
money to go home when he left Frank
fort, and that he consequently had not
received money for killing Goebel or from
any other source, and that the records
show he had never received pardon of
any kind, though the commonwealth al
leges that both money and a pardon were
to be his reward In his own behalf How
ard testified that his train was late, and
that he went from his train to the Board
Of Trade hotel. and was there when Goe-
bells body was being carried by
Howard in a general way contradicted
everything of an incrimina ting nature told
against him by James Stubblefeld and
other witnesses in regard to alleged re-
marks concerning the murder of Goebe1.
