MURDER. NOT SUICIDE.


Special to the Register.
PARKERSBURG. W. Va, September
A telegram from Los Angeles, Cali
fornla, where Col. AL. Lamphere died
on Sunday, tells a different story as to
his death from what had been said at
first. The first information was that
he had committed suicide, which was
doubted by all his friends In this vicin-
ity. The telegram received here to-day
states that he was found dead In n
hotel room with the gas turned on,
which first ave rise TO the theory OF
suicide. but adds that he had been
beaten and robbed of 5000, and that the
injuries he received are supposed TO
have caused his death. Two men took
him to the hotel and forced him TO go
to the room. He refused to u end
they smashed him In the face. When
in the room he refused to go To bed
and was again hit n terrific blow on
ize jaw and face, which knocked him
out. An eastern newspaper mar who
was an Elk looked into the case and
discovered these facts. He will at
tempt To have the guilty parties
brought to Justice.

law into the steel strike as has been
lone by the American Tin Plate Com
pany in demanding the protection Of
the sheriff Of Allegheny county, when
they resume operations at the Demmler
plant, will, it is believed, undoubtedly
bring about a crisis in the situation.
In some quarters it is thought 1t may
lead TO an early settlement Of the pres
ent labor troubles, and in others that
the presence OF the sheriff's forces may
result in a conflict. The request for
protection was made by Supt. Lauck,
and Sheriff Mckinley at once made ar
rangements for despatching a large
number of deputies to the scene. This
will be done this afternoon. The no
tice to the sheriff was as follows:
William C. Mckinley, ESQ.,, Sheriff of
Allegheny County:
"You are hereby notified that the
property Of the American Tinplate
Company, at Demnler Station, within
the limits of the city OF Mckeesport,

Company, is threatened with, and in
danger of, destruction at the hands OF a
mob, and the said American Tinplate

take al legal means to protect the said
property. This notice is given under

ing from their vacation and having no
business cares, were enjoying them
selves.
Every day we had auction pools on
the days run of the ship, Twenty men
were in each pool, which averaged 500
to $500. These were S. pools. One day
we had a $40 pool, which. after the auc-
ton, contained from 1880 to s1,9gs.
Another day We had one large hat or
decimal pool. In this pool were ten
men who put In s25 each. making $3.50.
All the other pools were for SIS each, or
$50 altogether. Some of our party
played more or less poker every day
during the voyage. the limit OF our
| game being S.. There was no such bet
ting in the poker games as has been
published. The largest pot on the en-
tire trip did not exceed 500. There
was no other poker or card game IN
the boat participated in by any one in
which the stakes were any higher than
the game mentioned, so that the bet
ting was not extraordinary.
Regarding the alleged wager of
$3.50, 900 to $3.50, 900, said to be made by
a Pittsburg syndicate of which / am
supposed to be a member, ! want to
say as plainly and as distinctly as l
can there is no such wager so far as
Pittsburgers are concerned. No syn
dictate of P~ittsburgers was formed in
New York or in this city to put up
$3.50, 900 or any other sun and no GER
titled check on any prominent bank or
any other bank for that purpose. was
issued here yesterday. I do not know
the intention of the publication of the
story of the bet and the publications
about heavy gambling, but / do know
there is no truth in them. Owing to
the wide publication the matter has re-
ceived within the peast few days, l
deem it necessary to make this state
ment on behalf of myself and friends"

Mr.. Muslin was shown the statement
of Mr.. Chambers and said:

is concerned, | nave already entered

CONFIDENCE IN SHAFFER
Expressed by Crescent Lodge Of
WheeIing-The situation in and
About Pittsburg.

PITTSBURG, Pa, September 4.-Agi-
tation and uneasiness prevails in the
ranks of the strikers tonight, caused
by the apparently u~nfavorable develop
ments of the day. The leaders, how
ever, profess to be satisfied with present
conditions, and claim that ultimate vic
tory will be theirs.
Much was hoped for from the peace
conference in New York, but the an
nouncement Of the failure to reach a de-
cision put a damper on these hopes.
Still, many hold to the belief that the
matter, now being up to the strike lead
ers to accept or reject whatever may
have been the proposition made to-day,
a settlement will speedily be reached.
President Shaffer's only remark when
shown the announcement of the ad-
journment without decision, was:
81 have no comment to make"
He would say no more on the sub
ject. He said. further, th~atsto-night he
would positively not be seen by any
newspaper men, and would make no
statement. He said he would be in his
Office as usual in the morning, when
he might have something to say.

ments made by j. ID. Hickey, when
he says that this strike was In

The above, together with the tele-
gram received by Mr.. Shaffer to-day
from President Gompers, of the Ameri-

a meeting in Buffalo to consider the
charges made by Mr.. Hickey, would
! indicate that the charges have fallen

The Steel officials
are in a very confident mood tonight,
and appear to think the strike is
broken effectually, and that only a few
DAYS more will be required to make 1t
a thing of the past. The return OF the
400 tube workers at McKeesport and
the report that $50 or more went in at
the Pennsylvania tube works and the
protection Of Sheriff Mckinley M nis

much weight to this belief. In add

Bloomfield, May g. Especial. Ed
Courier: The insinuation thrown out
of a possible sensation" relating to
the case of Dr. A. H. Shelton, who
nysteriously disappeared from this
city nearly two months ago and has
not returned, is utterly false and with
out foundation, being nothing more
than idle gossip of busybodies. That
DR.. Shelton has mysteriously disap-
peared is true and that he took
French leave" of his wife and family
is an undisputable fact. 1t is also
true that DR.. Shelton did not marry
his first love, the simple fact being
that his affection was not reciprocal
ed. The woman is now the wife of a
prominent and wealthy resident of
Missouri That any further sensation
can arise from that fact is utterly pre-
posterous. The cause of DR.. Shelton s
disappearance is purely his own bust
ness and what his wife and family
are going to do without him is their
business. A Bloomfield Resident.
