Lavely, aged 55 years, and a Civil War
veteran, together with two horses
which he was driving. were drowned
in the Stony Creek, near the center of
the city, yesterday afternoon. Lavely,
for some unknown reason, had driven
into the creek at a place known as
Buelahs Ford. The rains had swollen
the creek to an unusual depth, and the
swift current quickly carried the
horses and driver down stream. Hun
dreds of people, unable to render any
aid, lined the banks and saw Lavely

and Two Bloodhounds,

Seattle. July 9.-Harry Tracy, the fu-
gitive Oregon convict, who has killed
six men and wounded several others
since June 9, is being holly pursued
by men and dogs in the country south
east of Seattle, and will probably be
slain or captured. His pursuers, who
have with them two fine bloodhounds,
are only a short distance behind him.
Tracy made another very extraordi-
nary escape from one of the posses af-
ter him yesterday afternoon Word
was received at the sheriff's office that
Tracy had been at the house of a Mrs.
Gerald, near Renton, for five hours.
Fifty armed men at once FASTENED to
the scene. When they reached the
place they scattered and took positions
SO they could watch the house to the
best advantage. The peculiar actions
of Mrs. Gerald convinced them that
/ Tracy was still in the house. On the
arrival Of Sheriff Cudihee the posse
closed in on the house, only to learn
! from Mrs. Gerald that Tracy had given
]
by rear door ten minutes previously
while the posse were taking up posi-
lions to watch the place, hid for few
minutes in some bushes and theI
quietly slipped away through the woods
towards Palmer.
The wonderful GOODNESS and daring
of the convict was never more full!
exemplified than in this instance. Il
the back yard of the Gerald home, An
derson, the man whom Tracy had KEEP
a prisoner from the time he left POr
Madison, was found tied to a tree
Tracy had tied Anderson while tn
posse was IN full view of the house.
The blOOdhounds were put on tn
trail, and are reported to be only a fey
minutes behind him. Fully a thou
sand armed men are now engaged i
the pursuit including a posse whic
has taken the train for Palmer to inter

REYIYING AM OLD STORY.

Boiler Republicans and Demo
Gratis are again promulgating the
theory that Mr.. Addicks is tired of
the Delaware political fight, is re-
greeting that so many men have
secured places of honor and profit
through his instrumentality while
he has failed to be elected Senator;
and that it is only necessary to
prevent his election to the Senator
once more to compel him to with
draw from the fight.
That is the old fiction. Mr..
Addicks will not retire from the
Delaware fight because of any per
sonal defeat he may sustain. He
is in the fight to make Delaware
a permanently Republican State
government, and a full Republican
congressional representation. As
long as that is probable outcome
of a Republican State campaign
he will be in the fight, and in it to
win for the Republicans as against
the Democrats. When the people
get ready to turn the State back
into the control of the Democratic
party, releasing him honorably
from further obligation to make
the Republican control of the State
permanent, doubtless he will retire
At least we have heard him expires,

ing this much about this matter
is to indicate to the bolter Repub
licans the line of their opportunity

alton, which was unanimously adopt.
ed. After the adoption President
Mitchell made this statement:
"Our convention unanimously adopt
ed the resolution submitted by spe-
cial committee composed Of district
presidents and myself.
1.-THE resolution recites the efforts
made by the representatives of the
anthracite mineworkers to secure a
Joint conference, calls attention to the
repeated violation of the promises con-
veyed in the notices posted one year
ago, as well as their failure to carry
out the verbal understanding reached
with the representatives of the coal
carrying railroads last March.
1.-THE resolution also calls attention
to the wage scale which was drafted
and unanimously adopted by the con-
vention, the essential features of
WHICH are.
"a shorter working day, minimum
day wage scale, uniform increase of
wages and the weighing Of coal wher-
ever the physical conditions Of mining
would make it practicable.
at further explains that upon in
vestigation it is found that the aver
age annual earnings of the anthracite
mineworkers is considerably less than
in any other important American in
1ustry, while the number of fatalities
and injuries, in proportion to the num-
her of persons employed, Is greater
than in any other industry.
1.-THE resolution then declares that
the mineworkers can not with honor
to themselves or in justice to those de-
pendent upon them continue at work
during the coming year under the pres.
ent low wages and indefinite condi-
lions of employment, and provides for
general suspension of work, to take
effect upon a date to be designated by
the executive boards Of districts 1,
and 8.
"It provides, however, that before
resorting to such drastic measures,
and with lingering hope for peace
ful solution Of the perplexing problem,
an appeal will be made to the execu-
tive committee of the National Civic
Federation. If the civic federation re-
fuses to act, or should they fail in their
efforts to arrange satisfactory ad-
iustmept prior to April 1, and II after
that date negotiations are still pend
'ne, all anthracite mineworkers except
those necessary to keep the mines in
repair shall remain away from the

take place no settlement will be made
