A Posse Captured Nine Men, Heavily
 Armed, While They Were Asleep.
 Thacker. w. Va, July 1.-Detectiye T. l.. Felts. assisted by John Justice, deputy United States marshal, and posse of six men. went to the Ken lucky side of Tug river Saturday night and captured nine men who are charged with terrOrizing the miners on the West Virginia side of the river for the past ten days by shooting all who could not give the proper strikers sign as they passed and repassed along the railroad. They were taken before q Kentucky judge, who remanded them to Judge Jackson at Parkersburg, this state.
 They were surrounded while asleep with their Winchesters under their pill lows, and surrendered with but little resistance. Even their guard was cap fured asleep on duty. It is generally believed that the arrests will break up the fighting end of the strikers trou- bles. and that their differences will soon be compromised ill satisfactory way to all concerned.
 The nine prisoners were locked up at Williamson to await the action of the Kentucky courts. Charles Burke, president of the local union of United Mine Workers of America, was ar rested yesterday and taken before Judge Jackson at Parkersburg. charged with tearing down the notices of the Injunction granted by Judge Jackson.

Toads In Bermuda.

Bermuda is remarkable for the scarcity of land vertebrate animals. It possesses only one species of rep. tile, lizard, and only 15 or so years ago there were no amphi.ians. At that time some of the huge Guiana toads were imported from Demarara by the owner of Bermudan garden who thought the animals would clear his plants of insects. The toads thrived on the insects and spread over the islands, and now they are re. garded with disfavor because they get into the cisterns which hold the rain-water that is universally used for drinking purposes in Bermuda Youths Companion.

 Against Collector Shea.

Against Collector Shea.
 Proceedings in the city court to-day were en1ivened by tussle between the chief -of-police and Kevin Drury. who is well known all over the city and par ticularly ill the eastern part. Drury was charged with intoxication. He pleaded not guilty, and Attorney Car mody appeared for him. Officer Hayes stated that he saw Drury on Baldwin street yesterday morning under the in 1uence of drink. He was very talka- tive and gathered crowd around. The officer advised him to go home. Drury refused and insisted upon the officer arIesting him. At length his request was complied with. Drury was very talkatiye also on the witness stand, and notwithstanding the plea of his attorney, a fine of S5 and costs was imposed. He was giving indications of disturbing the court when the chief-of- police told him to take a seat in the dock. Drury took hold of a chair. whereupon the chief began pulling and the more he pulled the more obstinate the other got. Finally Drury was re moved from the room and placed in the station house.
 James Conroy was fined !$20 and costs for intoXication. He made a dis turbance at his home and threatened his parents.
 Attorney Slavin was appointed guar dian over Oswald Lapalme. who is charged with embezzlement on four counts. He had first been charged with forgery of the, name of Fred Lyons, q clerk in the employ of Mat thews x Willard Go, but it was found that this charge could hardly be proved so it was changed. Lapalme waived examination and was bound over to the superior court under bond of $500.
 The case against F. J. Shea for em- bezzlement also was continued to next Saturday. There are ninety counts in the complaint against this young man. and his alleged defalcations may run over S1.000. Shea was a collector for the Waterbury Furniture Co and it is claimed that by making false returns he contriyed to steal.< Suspicion was aroused. He was temporarily laid off and another put in his place. By this means his alleged embezzlements came to light. There are forty-five witness es against him.
 Giovanni Geneva stands charged with asasulting Angelina Grappano. Last evening the accused ran amuck on Livery street and with a knife stabbed the complainant and two or three others.

THE THIRD WEEK.
Will Furnish Greatest Number of
 Stakse and Handicaps.


 Chicago. July 1.-The third week at Washington park will furnish the greatest number of stakes and handi- caps of any week during the Chicago racing season. The KenWood stakes on Tuesday, Sheridan stakes the 4th and the Great Western handicap and Quickstep stakes on Saturday, with $1, 400 handicaps Tuesday and Wednesday and with another of S1 ,000 added on the 4th, are calculated to bring to the post the very best horses of all ages now i'll. training in the west. t
 The Kenwood stakes, a sweepstakes for 2-year-old colts, will be the first big event of the week. There were 80 nominations to the stake and among the prominent and most likely starters are Abe Frank, Ed Austin, Memnon, Luciene Appleby,, Jordan, Charles w.. Meyer, Eddie Busch, Waswift, Allan A-Dale and Pentacost.
 The Great Western handicap to be run Saturday at a mile and a half and the older division of handicap horses will be seen to far greater advantage than in the shorter distances. This race appears to be built to order for such horses as Advance Guard, Ban gle, Martimas, Layerock, His Lord ship and Sidney Lucas, all of whom are in active training for this rich event.
 The Quickstep stakes is at a half mile and is for 2-year-old colts and fil- lies. This will make it a decidedly open event.
 The Sheridan stakes, of course, will be the big event of the week. as it will bring together many of the Derby candidates. Robert Waddell is sure to be a starter. The fact that Wad- dell is to meet His Eminence at 124 to 127 on His Eminence will be great drawing card. Winfield will ride His Eminence. He has ridden him three times and won all of the races, two of them being Derbies. As the race is at mile and a quarter, some of the starters will be more favored than they were in the Derby, notable among them being Silverdale, Six Shooter and Lady Strathmore, while Rolling Boer, Terminus, Sadie S. and W. M. Hayes's Monograph, who will start with maiden allowances, are conceded great chances.

 New York. July 1.-The Rev Dr Mi not Savage made .-Vacation Religion" the theme of his sermon at the Church of the Messiah. He said:
 ''I haven't word to say against Sunday amusements. There is no req son whatever in the Bible, or in ec- clesiastical history or anywhere else, for the existence of the Puritanic;ll or ordinary American Sunday. 1t is ab- surd and childish to think that there is anybody up in heaven who is going to be angry with you for doing on Sunday anything that is right to do on any other day i'll the week.
 "Set part of Sunday for commun- ion with God. Then use the rest of the day for walking. sail ing. driving. playing golf or anything that will make you better physically. Do not dissipate, however, for that is not recreation"
