Long Struggle at the Kentucky Mine
About to Come to "a Crisis
Louisville, KY, September 25.-The
mining troubles in Hopkins county
have reached a crisis. and on the re-
commentator of State Inspector Hines
who was sent to the scene to inveSti-
gate, Governor Beckham has ordered
militia sent from Bowling Green and
Owensboro to protect the property Of
the operators. Hopkins county has for
a month been in a state of turmoil over
the troubles between the mine opera
tors and h union. Last November
the United Mine Workers undertook to
unioniZe the mines of Hopkins county.
Some of the miners went out, but a
majority preferred to continue at work.
Both sides soon resorted to force.
The union miners established a camp
and declared war on the non-union
men,. The operators hired guards to
protect their property. While the COM
pany officials have used all the means
at hands, preserve peace, numerous
affairs have occurred and dozens OF
men have been wounded, but only two
deaths have occurred.
Two union miners were killed by q
deputy sheriff and a number of guards.
Indictments were returned and the &C.
cused parties are now awaiting trial.
Meanwhile the union miners continued
. to harass the miners who remained al
; their tasks and tried to keep them
from going to work.
; Many of the non-union miners are
: negroes. Miners boarding houses ave
. been riddled with bullets n blown Ut
! with dynamite. Both sides have re-

that men talk to FAC other more fool

Money, and Payvned Diamonds.
Paul H Syrnond. well-dressed young
man, was arrested yesterday afternoon on
Pennsylvania Avenue, near Tenth Street
northwest, by Bicycle Policeman Charl-
ton. of the First precinct, and locked up
at that station. The arrest was made
on a warrant sworn out by Nellie Far
ley charging him with having taken
without her consent diamond rings. stick
pins. and many other valuable articles
from trunk in her room at the Regent
Hotel These, it is charged. he later
pawned at a pawnshop on Pennsylvania
Avenue for S2990. Sergeant Shilling and
Policemen Purks and Kilmartin began an
investigation.
Symond. it seems. comes of q very
wealthy family residing in Chicago. he
himself, II is stated, being stockholder
Of the First National Bank in that city.
AS nearly as could be learned last night
he had met the woman year ago, but
since then had been quite intimate, each
of them having engaged different rooms
at the same hotel in this city. The po-
lice also ascertained that Symonds had
loaned Miss Farley the sum of $500 sew
eral months ago, and which, up to Satur-
day night. it is said. had never been re
paid Even Miss Farley herself, when
seen by a reporter last night. admitted
having borrowed the amount above
named. but said that she intended to give
it to him today.
When questioned in regard to the rob
berry she stated that while he was asleep
saturday night Symond. entered her
room in the hotel, and taking the keys
from a bureau drawer opened her trunk
in which her jeewIs were and disappeared
She did not awake until sunday morn
ing, when she Immediately discovered her
loss. and soon after had a warrant sworn
out for him on the charge of grand lar
ceny.
Matters revealed by the police investi-
cation showed complications of such ii
nature that SymOnds was released last
night on his giving bail in the sum of
5000 for his appearance In Police Court
this morning.
An official of the court who was seen
last night stated that the District Attor-
aey had been requested to let the case
dr0p But when Miss Farley was asked
whether or not this was done in accord
ance with her wishes she stated most
emphatically THAI SymOnd had simply
been released on bond TO appear in court.
and that she herself would be present.
Owing to the complicated nature Of the
case the hearing In court today VIII
no doubt prove of an interesting nature
both to the police and the friends of tn.
parties 1t was impossible to locate
Symond last night, some of his friends
asserting that he had left the city. while
The diamonds which ii is alleged Were
pawned by Symond are said to be Of con
siderable value, a necklace in the cO!Ipc-
ton alone having cost $500.

THE CREEDAL SUMMARY.
Slight Verbal Changes Lead to n
Favorable Vote.

PHILADELPHIA. May 27.-Several
slight changes made in sections and c
of the Committee on Rcvision's majority
report on the Confession Of Faith led this
morning to the adoption of the report al
most unanimously by the Presbyterian
General Assembly.
The changes were little more than
verbal, but that they We're agreeable to
the anti-revisionists was proved by the
manner in which they accepted the con-
cession from a majority that might have
forced through the report of the commit
tee without consideration for those who
fear that a change in the creed will have
an evil effect on the future of the Church.
The effect of the adoption of the report
will be the appointment of a committee
to prepare the summary pSovided for, to
submit the articles to the next General
Assembly, which viii be held in New
York, and then, in l903 the articles will
come before the Assembly at Los Angeles,
Cal, for final acceptance or rejection.
