NEW YORK, July 1G.-Nathan Wood
ward. former slave, is dead at Basking
Ridge, Somerset county, n. j., aged no
years. OF his age there is no doubt, as it
is a matter of record. He was born at
Whitehouse, Hunterdon county, n. j.,
and was owned by Simon Wyckof, who
sold him to Matthew Woodward. Th
sale was made when Nate was youn
boy, and the name Woodward he
from his master. The record of the dat
of the sale by Wyckoff TO Woodward
fixed beyond dispute the age of the man.
Nate was made n free man by the
passage of the New Jersey law Of 1908
concerning slaves. He married slave
named Sarah, who died Is years ago,
aged 80. Sarah was one of the three
slaves in the state to be freed by Presi-
dent Lincoln's emancipation proclama-

Old Cup Defender Too Fast For the

NEWPORT. Il. l.. July 13.--The Co
lumbia again defeated the Constitution
in yesterdays race by a margin in cor
rected time Of Pm. 10s., the Independence
being once more the last boat after los
ing her topmast at the very start. The
Boston yacht however, sailed such n re-
markable plucky race after being shorn
of her top gear that it is generally be-
lieved here that she would have won the
race but for the accident.
The race yesterday closed the series,
and the yachts will not meet again for at
least ten days. the Constitution going to
Bristol. the Columbia to New York and
the Independence probably to New Lon
don. or the four events under the New

stitution won the first two in light airs,
beating the other yachts by large mar
gin, while the Columbia won the last two
in close finishes with the new Bristol
yacht. The Independence has lost in ev-
cry race, although quite near the other
two yachts in the last two contests.

STRIKERSCONFIDENT
Amalgamated Officials In a
Satisfied Mood.
TRUST MACNATES REFUSE TO TALK.
Closing Down of Additional shops
Looked Upon as Great Victory
For the EmpIoyees-A Nom
union Mill to start Up.

PITTSBURG. July 1.-THE second
strike day closed with the Amalgamated
officials i'm a satisfied mood and claiming
to have made good every promise as to
results. On the other hand, the manu-
fncturers will not say "A word concerning
the strike and refused to be quoted in
any way. Repeated efforts to secure
statements from President Corey of the
American Sheet Steel company and Cen
eral Manager |. w. jerks of the hoop
company have been met with the re-
sponse that there was no change and
nothing to be given out.
The Amalgamated people say nothing
has been said to them of any plan for
mediation or arbitration. and they will
continue to carry out their programme
as originally announced.
The closing down of the Clark mill
and of the Monessen sheet mill are look
ed upon as telling victories. with the al
most complete tie up of three companies
in the district. But one tin mill, that at
Monessen. and one sheet mill Mt Duncan
vile remain at work. The fact'that the
National Tube mill men (nonunion) re-
ceived a substantial advance in wages
Monday has caused discomfort among
the union men employed by the National
Tube company at their Second avenue
plant and Republic mill on the south side.
The men here think they are entitled to a
similar increase. To consider the mat
ter meetings were held last night on
the south side. and it is said demand
will be made today.
The following telegram was received
from Wcllsyille yesterday:
"The Wellsville rolling mill will be
run. and it will be run nonunion 1t will
start tomorrow. If it could not be run
nounion. it never would be run at al"
This statement was made by Persifer
i. Smith OF Pttsburg, district manager
for the American Sheet Steel company.
He was here in the morning and made
an address to the striking mill men. He
told them he had no grievance; they had
been well cared for in the past and would
be in the future. The announcement that
the mill would be started and started
nonunion has given rise TO no little spec
uation and uneasiness among the citi-
zens. Many of the strikers, expecting
prolonged idleness, have left the city for
hunting and fishing camps, where they
expect to spend the time. No new men
have been brought in, and how Manager
Smith expects to start the Wellsville mill
is a matter for conjecture.
Wellsville is looked upon by both sides
as an important point, and developments
are anXiously awaited by all.
The position of the Tin Workers Pro
tective association in the strike was set
tied yesterday by the following telegram
to The Leader from Elwood, Ind:
"Our association is bound by an agree
ment with the company to work, provid-
ing they live up to their contract. If the
company introduce black plate worked by
nonunon men. our men will be called out
The Amalgamated people will have oul
full support if necessary"

COLLIERIES TIED UP.
Strike of Stationary Firemen
Stops All Work.
one HUNDRED THOUSAND MINERSIDLE
Nearly Every Mine In the Wilkes
barre HoGion Affected by
The Action of the
Fircmen.

WILKESBARRE Pa, July 1.-THE
strike of the stationary firemen was de-
clared yesterday morning, and at all the
places where the demands have not been
granted the men left their work mt
O'Clock sharp. Nearly every collicry in
the entire region is tied up. and those
which are working are small concerns
where the operators have placed the men
on eight hours for n month or several
weeks with the understanding that If the
big companies do not grant the demand
they will change back to the 10 and II
hour schedule
The mines of the large corporations are
all idle. Many of the companies shut
down the mines and did not wait for the
day of the strike to dawn. notices be-
ing posted that there would be no work
Mt the collierics until further notice.
This was the result of consultation be-
tween leading officers held here and post
pones in some measure the actual con
hict between the strikers and the COM
panies.
At the mines the fire bosses and some
men belonging TO either the Firemen's
union or the United Mine Workers have
been placed at the pumps and are keep
ing steam up, but at none Of the mines
have nonunion men been placed at the
fires, and the miners continue mt work.
There as yet has been no test of this.
At those mines which started work
the shutdown whistle was blown a few
minutes after the firemen went on strike,
so that the mine workers did not have
time to show their attitude regarding
the employment of nonunion tiremen
Several of the smaller companies waited
until the last moment, and then, seeing
that the strike could not be averted ex-
cept by granting the demands of the
men, they gave the eight hours. These
are isolated cases, however, and the
great majority of the mines are idle.
The response to the call for the strike
was general, the men going out at the
minute specified. They are now holding
meetings of each of their local unions,
and reports from all over the region are
coming in. The coal companies We're
noncommittal, most of them stating that
work had either been shut down as soon
as the strike was declared or that work
was suspended indefinitely at their col
lieries.
1t is roughly estimated that 100000
mine workers are idle. At some Of the
mines where the demands were not
granted nonuuion men have been placed
in the strikers places. AS yet there
have been no strikes of other employees
in consequence.
