port to Steel Workers,
McKEESPORT WILL SUFFER,

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug, l2,-An impor'
tant development in the strike situation
was the peremptory order TO dismantle
the Devices Wood plant ut McKeesport,
and Its removal TO the KislSiminetas val
ley,
The steel officials declined TO give any
reason'for the order, but IL Is openly
stated here that tho pronounced sympo-
thy of citizens and city officials ut Me-
Keesport Is responsible for II, II isalso
said that the plant OF the National Tube
company AT McKeesport will bo aban-
doned,
The Devices Wood plant was founded
about forty years ago, and il one Of the
best known plants in Pennsylvania, Its
yards and mills cover between IL and
IA acres It has employed 200 men at Its
busiest times and It's cost is placed at
100000 by officials Of the steel cor
poration.
President Gompers Of the American
Federation Of Labor after two days
conference with President Shaifcr and
his associates, issued formal statement
specifically plcdging the Federation to
the moral and financial support Of the
Amalgamated association, lIiswrtten
view Of the train Of events leading up
10 industrial quarrel sustains the course
of the Amalgamated association and de-
cl0res that nothing remains for labor
but to kttle for the cause OF unionism,
President Gompers would not say just
what the Federation Of Labor proposed
to do, or in fact anything beyond what
was contained in the written statement

The Sliding Panel.


well, we are here" said Tempest,
standing with the lantern in his hand.
1--WE own the caverns, what are we
going to do with them?"
"The first thing" said Medworth, rs
to destroy this powder train, and take
precautions that the magazine is not
blown up while we are in here"
They spent half hour at this work,
and when they considered the maya
zine safe, they began an ex .mination
Of their surroundings.
Not far from the powder magazine
they found a rude stone stairway
running from central position in the
cellar to an abrupt termination against
wooden door, what seemed to be
one at the top.
Upon examining the wall at the
top, they found that what had seemed
to be door had no knob, and no ap-
parent way Of opening it.
This door, IL it is a door," said
Tempest was never made to OPEN"
There must BIO secret spring"
said Medworth. Surely the stairs are
not here for nothing. II force cannot
open the door let us look for spring"
They began a careful examination Of
the surface Of the door, and the walls
around it, going over every inch with
their finger ends, Tempest holding the
lantern to facilitate the search
"Ha! Here Is something" said Med
worth. "a button"
He pushed, pulled and twisted this,
but to no purpose.
81 am convinced that this button
opens the door" he said Now while
l manipulate it, you push the door. 1t
may be out Of order"
He tried again, and Tempest, putting
his strength to the door, had no diff
Guilty in opening 1t.
Now be careful" said Medworth,
They passed through the open door,
and found themselves in narrow pas
sage, entirely destitute Of furniture,
and perfectly dark save for the rays Of
the lantern.
There was no other door to this place
than the one they had come through,
but at the other end they found what
seemed to be a panel In the wall. From
the side they were on 1t could be east
ly noticed, and Medworth marveled
that the trick was not more skillfully
done.
He placed his hand on this panel,
and found that 1t slid noiselessly to
the left
Before them was large, sumptuous-
ly furnished library, the table Of which
was strewn with papers and maps, and
the air heavy with tobacco smoke,
though no person was visible, A lamp
shed a gloomy sort of light over the
apartment. After making themselves
certain that there was no one In the
room, Medworth and Tempest went in.
There was a door opening from this

Ho vyn. tho Hotel Echo.

A guest of one Of the hotels at a
certain mountain resort took a notion
one day to climb to the top Of the near
est hill. Having reached that point, he
was astonished to find there an old
man sitting on a rock, with pair Of
field glasses in his hand, through
which he looked at short intervals.
and after each look he would whoop
and halloo at the top OF his lungs.
What in the world are you doing2"
asked the tourist, approaching the old
man. Don't talk to me, sir, II you
please" answered the old man. III you
do, you'll take my attention, and I'll

Medworth now examined the shglS'
panel, He found that, rude ar .II.ooa-,
trivance was on the other slI here II
was a most carefully exec5 ID thing.
II was simply one OF any amber OF
panels that ornamented III walls OF
the room, and when close could not
DO detected as different In 10 construc-
ton from any OF tho oth)rs,
Medworth counted them, and found
that the sliding panel was the NTH
from either end, being exactly half
way.
They would have turned their atten-
ton to other things, but hearing foot
steps they sprang into the hidlng-place
and closed the panel.
They distinctly heard two men enter
the room.
Bending down, Medworth applied his
ear to the panel to listen to what was
said.
1T is a strange-R most inexplicable
thing, Garza," he heard some one say.
II confess l do not understand It,"
Your majesty" was the reply, and
Medworth's heart throbbed as he rec
ognlzed the voice OF the father OF tho
girl he loved, "as for understanding IL,
believe me, | have not been near that
point, My heart Is bursting with
grief, It was a dastardly crime, A
crime for which the criminal must die
when learn his name"
1T is still doubtful, then, whether
Gomez or Mattazudo is lying"

straight from your presence, You
commanded Mattazudo to find and re-
turn my daughter, and It must be said,
In all truth, that he seemed at least
to be sincere In his effort, We went TO
the Carlh's hut, We found the old In
dian there. Mattazudo at once COM
manded him to deliver up the girl that
he, Mattazudo had brought there under
q misunderstanding. The Carib smoked
calmly on and asked how many more
were coming for q girl he had never
seen, Mattazudo threatened to shoot
him, but nothing could move the old
indian, / pleaded with him. l be-
sought him with all the energy OF a
broken-hearted father to restore my
daughter to me, but he still claimed
he had not seen her. Mattazudo told
me that Ramana was friend OF Go
meS, and no doubt had agreed to keep
silent. The only way, Of course, waa
to get the truth out of Gomez. When
we returned TO the castle | taxed Co
mez with the crime; but without walt
ing to deny 1t, he sprang upon Mat
ta2udo with drawn sword, and would
have killed him, had not some of the
zambos been standing near to inter
fere, Then, to me, Gomez denied all
knowledge Of my daughter, and says
the story of Mattazudo is a lie. Now
what am to believe? Only one thinl
is cNrtain-that my poor girl is stolen
from me- and would give my life To
know she was safe"
The old spanlard had not left the
room before two silent figures crawled
stealthily away from the sliding panel
and down under the foundations again
to lay their plan OF action.

welch. w. Va, Dec. 22.-Wayne De-
mon. an eighteen-year-old boy, shot
three negroes to death in a saloon at
the mining town of Davy, this county,
last evening. Yesterday was pay day
at the Davy mines and the negroes a
begun their holiday celebration. Drunk
enness was visible on every hand, and
when about a dozen of the big blacks
entered Eugene Dyes saloon on the
leading street, revolvers in hand. n
demanded that all the whites within
retire. the trouble began. The bar
tender stepped INTO al adjoining room
for his revolver and all h other whites
save Demon made a u TO get away
Demon, although being almost a total
stranger in the town, was nervy' n
refused to obey the demand to depart.
Instead, he pulled his revolver and In a
twinkling he had shot three of the ne
groes to death AID the others were
falling over themselves to get away.
In the excitement, Demon, whose home
is In Catlettsburg, KY, left the saloon
by a rear door, and up TO a late hour
last night had not been captured. In
| fact, but little effort is being made TO
a~pprehend him. He is an assistant
bookkeeper for Cole. Crane Il Co. OF
| Cincinnati, who are engaged extensive
~ in timbering in tits county. Demon
was waiting the arrival of a train TO
60 to his home to spend the holidays.
