of the proposed coal trust in Indiana

ators from disposing of their proper

Deputy Attorney General Hadley
said yesterday that he intends to in
quire into the plans of the trust pro-
moters, for the purpose of finding
out if they are violating any of the
provisions of the antitrust statute.
1t is not believed that the Coop
er antitrust law, enacted at
the last session of the legis-

a MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.
Al Express Safe rs Found by Fisher-
nen Near Toledo, with Its Door
Sma ashed in.


Smashed in.
Toledo, Jane 21.-Thursday after
noon several fishermen while stroll
ing along the river two miles south
OF the city discovered large iron
safe on which was the name of the
Pacific Express Co. The door had
apparently been battered in with a
hammer such as is used in cutting
large pieces of iron. On the inside
were a number of empty money bags
and waybills. The men at once re-
ported it to the police and the local
officers of the express company were
also notified.
The agent, Frank G. Benedict, was
put of the city and the clerks refused
TO make any statement. However,
they identified the safe as being the
property of the company. They stat
ed that such a safe was sent out of
this city Tuesday night in through
ear on the Wabash for st. Louis and
Omaha. but declined to say anything
as to what it contained.
There were six money bags in the
safe and foIr of them were marked
St. Louis. while the others were
marked OIldud i HcN uO llbL litl-
cate what their contents might have
been. IL is believed, however, that
the sa fe was stolen Wednesday night,
because of the fact that near the
place where the safe was found a
horse and buggy. which had been
stolen the previous evening, was also
found, and a grocery store located
about nalf mile distant, was bur-
garized Wednesday night. 1t is be-
lieved that the men hauled the safe
in this rig. There is a rumor that
the safe contained $4,000 in gold.
ST. Louis, June 21.-Superintendent
Fuller, of the Pacific Express Co., was
seen last night and said that he had
received no advices from Toledo re-
garding the safe incident. If the
property of the company had been
tampered with. he said, he would GER
tainlv have been advised of the fact.
The description of the safe found in
Toledo. he said, did not tally with
those used by the company on its
long runs. These are big steel re-
ceptacles and are riveted to the floor
of the car. The iron safe picked up
at Toledo might be one used between
way stations.

MINERS CLASH.
Strikers and Non-UniOnists at War
Two Men Fatally Wounded at Mate
wan. ". Xu.

Matewan, w. Va, June 21.-The
trouble long anticipated has at last
taken place, and the strained rela-
tions between the union and nom
union miners have resulted in blood
shed. On Thursday several hundred
union miners who were on strike,
marched in body against the Mari
time mines of this place, where non
union men were at work. They tried
to effect an entrance, but operators
with 20 guards armed with Winches-
ter rifles behind them blocked the
entrance.
The non-union miners were headed
by superintendent Albert, who after
having warned the union men not to
persist in their attempt, gave the
command to fire. Fully 80 shots were
fred. Boyd Martin and Riley john
son were fatally shot and Sam Ar
trip was dangerously wounded. The
union men did not return the fire, but
dispersed, waiting reinforcements
and swearing vengeance for the blood
of their comrades.
All the union miners throughout
Mingo county are collecting to get
here Serious trouble is expected
when they again try to effect an en-
trance to the Maritime mines. Sheriff
Hatfield. nephew of the notorious
Cap" Hatfield. is on the scene with
50 deputies and says he proposes to
do his duty, and unless the union
men back down it is hard to predict
the result.

A GREAT CANAL PROJECT.
Is Bitterly Opposed by the Farmers
of fAustria-Hungary.

Washington, June 2t.-A vast
canal scheme is now under consider
alton before the Austrian house OF
representatives., according to a re-
port received at the state department
from Consul Mahin at Rochenburg.
The consul had previously reported a
dstinctively Hungarian project
which favored the construction of
canal joining the Oder and Danube
rivers, with prolongation from the
latter stream to the Adrlatic sea,
near Fiume, Hungary.
The Austrian plan coatemplates
canal from the projected Oder-Dan-
ube waterway eastward to the Dnies-
ter river. which flows into the Black
sea, another westward to the Elbe,
and still another to Join the Danube
and Moldau rivers. This would mean
network of canals covering lie
principal provinces of Austria, afford
ing cheap all-water routes to the
Adriatic. Black and Baltic seas, and
linking the navigable streams of the
empire.
The new measure was at first re-
ceived with considerab BILE enthusiasm,
the government fathering the project
and announcing that $150,O00.0OO
would be appropriated for it, each
interested province bearing "A share
| of the financial burden.
But the agrarian element in Aus
tria has now begun most decided
| opposition to it, claiming that by a
cheapening of freight rates the
canals would flood Austria with for
| eign food products. On the other
hand the project is strongly support
ed by manufacturing and commercial

PiNGREE'S THREE PR0IECTS.
Ihey Embraced the Planting of For
ests, the Colonization of Beers in
Michigan and IA system of Crop Ro-
lutiOn.


Detroit, Mich, June 2O.-In an in
terview in New York yesterday with
a staff correspondent of the Detroit
Journal, Col. Eli Il. Sutton, of this
city, who was the travelling compan-
ion of ex-Gov. Pingree during his trip
through South Africa and Europe,
said:
"Hazen S. Pingree went to South
Africa largely for the purpose of
putting into practical effect three
gigantic schemes for the benefit of
the people of Michigan.
"First-The reclamation of the inn
mense pine wastes in Michigan by
planting trees. He went to the Ba-
varian Black Forest to expand this
idea and overworked so much that he
FASTENED his death.
"Second-The rotation of crops in
Michigan. In pursuit of this scheme
he went to Egypt, where such system
is enforced by the government.
"Third-The transportation of
every patriot Boer and his family
who desired to come to the United
States. He quizzed British officials
on this subject, gained their appro-
val OF it and had an appointment TO
consult with Kruger about it which
was only prevented by the governors
| illness.
at was his idea to interest some
| Michigan capitalists in the plan and
provide lands for the Beers among
| the railroad systems. He thought
| that these capitalists could secure
| very low transportation rates from
the seaboard to the farms and he
| proposed to let the British govern
ment in some roundabout way pro-
vide ships for the Beers transporta-
ton from Africa to this country. A
number of English officers now in
South Africa and some eminent pub
| lie men in England took this plan
seriously and thought well Of it, pro-
vided it could be carried out without
the British governments aid in the
matter becoming known.
"While studying the Black Forest
in the interest of his reforestation
idea Gov. Pingree even secured the
names of n number of keepers who
were willing to emigrate to Michigan
and assume care of the forests he
proposed to plant"

PROFITABLE PRAYERS
French Abbe Who Has Made Town

AAo"Fetou".
There Is small village in the De-
partment of the Sarthe, in France, tlat
has risen from poverty to atiiuence by
means Of prayer furnished on demand
for consideration. The cure of the
village, certain Able Buguet, was
as poor us his flock. But he was not
content to stay that way, and being
man Of Imagination he looked around
for some means by which he could bet
ter the condition of his people and in
cidenthlly his own. He finally hit
upon an idea. He learned to set type,
bought secondhand press and set up,
printed and published leanet in
which he discoursed upon the efficacy
Of prayer. Then he made business
proposition to his flock. He would
pray for them, for their children and
for their dead for an annual subscrip-
uon of one sou. In other words, he
would take charge of all their prayers
for one sou n year. The idea appealed
to his parishioners and all of them sub.
ecribed. With the little sums thus
acquired he printed more leaflets and
distributed them throughout the neigh
boring country, and every leatiet
seemed to bring in new subscriber.
To-day he has many thousands of
subscribers who live in all parts of the
world. and Montligeon, which was
once little more than n collection of
novels, is n prospering town. 1t has a
church that is a cathedral. 1t has wide
streets lighted by electric lights, post.
Office, water works and cab service.
And in the center of the town is =
large white building where Able Bu-
guet, with eight almoners, fifteen in
terpreters, twenty secretaries and n
crowd Of clerks, proceeds with his
work Of supplying prayers. More than
1,5OO letters come each day, each of
them containing at least the required
sou, and most Of them having II much
larger sum. A part of these letters ask
for prayers, and these are divided
among various needy priests in the
neighborhood, who thus are able to
add considerable to their meager in
comes. All the voluntary offerings go
into the general treasury and are used
for the benefit of the town and the val
ley in which II is situated. The mayor
of the town Is the cashier and the prin-
cipal town councillors are the secreta-
ries or chief accountants and Able
Buguet is manager of all. II Is the
most profitable prayer factory in the
world.
