tial proceedings against Col. Meade,
United States Marine Corps, who is
charged with drunkenness and scam
dalous conduct, were resumed at the

session was devoted to discussing the
admissability of the record of the
court of inquiry, which was held at
the navy yard July rs. The court de-
clined to admit the record.
Richard Ware, secretary of the Puri-
tan Club of Boston, testified that in
September, 1897, Maj. c. H. LAUGH
heimer was a guest of the club, and
there was nothing on the records of
the club to show that the card of invi-
tation to Maj. Lauchheimer had been
recalled on account of misconduct
This was in refutation of the statement
made under oath by Col Meade be-
fore a court of inquiry held at the
navy yard, Brooklyn. on July 2, of this
year. On that occasion Col. Meade, ac-
cording to the record, said to Maj
Lauchheimer: II have a great many
friends in the Puritan Club in Boston
You received an invitation or card
from the club to be a guest there, and

Suicide Chooses Horrible Death nj
Pittsburg.

Pittsburg, Pa, Nov. 2t.-A few mo-
ments after midnight an unknown man
threw himself headlong into one of
the furnaces at Schoenberger's mills,
Fourteenth and Etna streets. Almost
his entire body was roasted beyond
Identification. his left foot being the
only part not disfigured. A few mo-
ments before midnight the man was
seen to enter the mill yards and stand
at the foot of the hoisting cage which
carries ore and other supplies for the
furnace. The moment that a warning
was sounded for the cage to ascend
with it's. load three workmen saw the
suicide jump on the platform and stand
within a few feet of them. He was
pulled out about three minutes later,
every part of his body resembling a
piece of half cooked meat.
No one can remember having seen
him before, and it is probable he will
never be identified. The body was re-
moved to the morgue. The man was
about 80 years of age, medium hight,
sandy moustache and apparently an
American. He wore black laced shoes.

FRENCH MINERS RESTLESS.
Over 1000 Men Out Now and General
Strike May Come To-day.

Strike May Come To-day.
Paris, Nov. 21.-The situation in the
mining centers of France is again ap-
preaching a climax. The next day or
two will see a definite decision upon
the question of a general strike. The
result of the recent referendum impell-
ed the federation officials to put off a
strike on the plea that it was advisable
to await the decisions of the commits
sion of the chamber of deputies en-
gagged in studying the demands of the
miners.
1t now appears unlikely that the COM
mission will satisfy these dema=ds, and
the extreme partisans are endeavoring
to force the hand of the federation Of
hcials in favor of a strike.
The situation at present is that t.,
300 out of the $4,000 miners in the de-
partment of the Nord have struck and
that about 1000 have gone on strike in
the adjacent pits of the Pas de Calais
district. The movement is spreading in
the department of the Nord, and it is
asserted that all the miners will cease
work tomorrow.
Thus far complete order has pre-
vailed, but an imposing force of gen.
darmes. infantry and cavalry has been
billeted in every coal field to cope with
any disorder.

A SALT FAMINE THREATENED.
Roads Unable TO Furnish Cars to
Virginia Mines.

Knoxville, Tenn, Nov. 21.-The Jour
nal and Tribune tomorrow will say:
The prevailing car famine on all
Southern railroads threatens a salt
famine. Local jobbers, anticipating
heavy demands, have had orders at the
mines since early in October. but as yet
none have been filed. Saltville, Va,
an important Southern point of supply,
is on the Norfolk and Western Rail
road. which finds itself unable to sup
ply cars to the mines in sufficient num-
Der to remove the output.
A committee from the National Salt
Company has been sent to New York
to wait on President Henry Fink of the
Norfolk and Western to urge him to
furnish cars even at the expense of
other traffic. If this committee is un-
able to relieve the stringent situation 1t
is said they will lay the subject be-
fore the Department of Agriculture and
enlist the governments influence.
