ING YOUNG PEOPLE.
O'Brisn.Whalen Nuptials lmpressiveIy
Performed. ....Roomy Church Filled
To the Utmost.

One of the most beautiful and
impressive ceremonies ever wit
messed in Darlington took place

fast was served to the bridal party
at the home of the bride, and after
the repast was over, reception was

with complete success.
Over a hundred costly and useful
presents were received by the bridal
pair, among which were a $1,000
folding bed, a 10000 range and a
handsome bronz clock studded with
Rhine stones. Some of these pres

Australia, and are valuable not only
for their worth, but for the sake of
those who gave them.

two weeks. In conjunction with
their numerous friends, The Bee
wishes the happy pair all the happi-
ness that can be crowded in long

The Evansville Courier of yes
terday says: "Woods acted as
his own attorney when he was
arraigned in police court. His
temper got the better of him
while pleading his case and he
addressed remarks to Judge Cur
ry that called for a reprimand
and a threat to fine him $4,000
and the costs with a Jail sentence
on the side for contempt of
court.
"According to the evidence of
the witnesses examined at. the
trial Woods tried to escape the
payment for hauling the baggage
of the "Down in Hopkins" Com
pany from the theatre to the de-
pot. Christy, the negro, who
had him arrested said that when
he presented the bill to Woods
the actor and labor worker, he
asked him to receipt the bill.
The negro did so and in few
minutes Woods asked to be al
lowed to look at it. 1t was Civ
en- him and he turned away to
talk with some friends. When
the negro again demanded his
money Woods said he had paid
him and presented the receipt.
The negro could not be bluffed
and running to the telephone,
sent a message to the Office of the
company, explaining the case.
George Saunders arrived in a few
minutes and, after hearing the
story, told the negro to hold on
to the baggage until he had re-
ceived his money. In the argu-
ment that followed Woods is said
to have used vile language to
Christy. Just as the train was
starting to leave Patrolman
Fuchs interfered and, on the re-
quest of Mr.. Saunders, placed
Wood under arrest. Through
the kindness of a police officer
who paid the fine Wood was en-
abled to leave the city in time to
reach Oakland City in time for

LAWFUL WAY TO SECURE
COAL FOR THE PUBLIC"
President Baer, Of the Reading. Says II
Law Is Enfored Coal viii be
Plentiful.
ANARCHY MUST BE sUppREsED.

In his anxiety to avert, If pos
sible a public calamity in the
threatened winter coal famine,
President Roosevelt invited the
anthracite coal presidents and
John Nit shell, strike leader of
the United Mine Workers, to
listen to what he had to say on
behalf of the general public.
The meeting took place at the
temporary White House on Fri
day last. The Presidents state
ment was as follows:
81 wish to call your attention
to the fact that there are three
parties affected by the situation
in the anthracite trade-the op-
orators, the miners and the gen.
eral public. / speak for neither
the operators nor the miners, but
for the general public. The
question at issue which led to
the situation affects Immediately
the parties, concerned-the op-
orators and the miners; but the
situation itself vitally affects
the public.
GAS long as there seemed to
be reasonable hope that these
matters could be adjusted be-
tween the parties it did not
seem proper to me to intervene
in anyway. l disclaim any right
or duty to intervene in this way
upon legal grounds or upon any
official relation that l bear to the
situation, but the urgency and
the terrible nature of the catas-
trophe impending over a large
portion of our people in the
shape of winter fuel famine
impels me, after much anxious
thought to believe that my duty
requires me to use whatever in
fiuence l personally can to bring
to an end a situation which has
become literally intolerable. l
wish to emphasize the character
of the situation and to say that
its gravity is such that l am con-
strained urgently to insist that
each one of you realize the heavy
burden of responsibility upon
him. We are upon the thresh-
hold of winter with an already
existing coal famine the future
terrors of which we can hardly
yet appreciate. The evil posi-
billties are so farreaching, so ap-
palling, that 1t seems to me that
you are not only justified in sink
ing, but required to sink for the
time being any tenacty as to
your respective claims in the
matter at issue between you. In
my judgement the situation i'm
peratively requires that you
meet upon the common plane of
the necessity of the public.
"With all the earnestness there
is In me | ask that there be an
immediate resumption of opera
tions in the coal mines in some
such way as will, without a days
unnecessary delay meet the cry
ing needs of the people.
81 do not invite a discussion
Of your respective claims and
positions. / appeal to your pa
triotism, to the spirit that sinks

CALLED NEGRO

BARELY ESCAPED
CONTEMPT PROCEEDINGS.

"Down In Hopkins was not
received with any great amount
of enthusiasm in Evansville
Monday night Judging from the
small receipts, aud the painful
stiffness that met "actor Jim"
at the fall of the curtain. The
receipts must have been quite
small as he did not have the coin
to pay the transfer charges on
his baggage across the city. 1t
seems that Woods had gotten
his baggage to the depot and
when the Transfer Company de-
manded pay for hauling, Woods
claimed he had paid the driver.
The driver denied receiving pay
ment and Woods used some Ian
guage more forceable than ele-
CANT, whereupon a warrant was
procured for him and he was
removed from the train by an
officer and carried before a police
Judge where he pleaded his own
case and was fined $1,000 for
using abusive language and Gre
ating a disturbance on the street.
Woods failed to produce the
money for the fine and was
locked up.

LOCOMOTIVE BLASTS


The Louisville & Nashville
railroad has awarded the contract
for the construction of the pro-
posed North Alabama railroad to
Dunn & Bros, of Nashville, and
that work will begin at once.
The new line is to form part of
the company's system Of mineral
branches in this district. 1t will
extend from Hughes Siding on
the main line westward to the
undeveloped coal fields of Jeffer-
son and Walker counties, and
will be % miles in length. When
it is built many new coal mines
will be opened along the route.
The contract price is said to be
about three-quarters of a million
dollars.
Conductor Sam Ingram, of the
Louisville & Nashville local
freight, narrowly escaped being
killed in the yard at Hopkins
vile Monday morning. He was
hanging ON the ladder of a car
that was moving rapidly. Not
noting a car on side track, it
struck his head, cutting a cash
that rendered him unconscious.
His injuries were dressed, and he
was removed to his home here.
His injuries are very serious, and
there are grave fears of his re-
coverv.
With the completion of the
Knoxville, La Toilette & Jellico
railroad the Louisville d Nash
vile will have practically an air
line between Cincinnati and At
lanta, the route being:
Cincinnati to Livingston, Ky.,
Kentucky Central division.
Livingston to Jelllco, Knoxville
division.
Jellico to Knoxville, La F. and
j. division.
Knoxville to Atlanta, Atlanta,
Knoxville and Northern division.
The Louisville & Nashville is
now receiving bids for new pas
senger equipment to be used on
this new through line between
Cincinnati and Atlanta. The
bids include six elegant reclining
chair cars, ten fine passenger
coaches and a half dozen baggage
cars, all of which are to be used
on the Observation-Disclosures line.
The chair cars are to be free to
the travelling public.
In line with its present policy
to make its passenger service
second to none in the country,
the company will doubtless put
dining cars on the new line as
soon as practicable after the
train service is thoroughly estab.
lished.

Operators.

makes individual sacrifices for
the general good"
The conference lasted only fif-
teen minutes, and the President
asked all parties to consider
what he had said and meet him
again at 3 O'Clock that afternoon.
At the hour named the confer
ence was resumed and individu-
al replies were presented to the
President.
That of Geo. F. Baer, Presi-
dent of the Philadelphia and
Reading Company, covered much
of the ground briefly and has
been pronounced in many quar-
ters as unanswerable. Mr..
reply Baer's was as follows:
Anarchy Must Be Suppressed.
To the President of the United
States: We understand your
anxiety as forcible expressed in
the statementyou read to us this
morning to bring about "an i'm
mediate resumption of opera
tions IN the coal mines in some
such way as will without a days
unnecessary delay meet the cry
ing needs of the reople." We
infer that you desired us to con-
slider the offer of Mr.. Mitchell
verbally made this morning, ex-
pressing and speaking for the
United Mine Workers, to go
back to work, if you would ap-
point a commi ssion to determine
the question at issue.
You distinctly say that you
edo not invite discussion of
your respective claims and posi-
tions." But we assume that a
statement of what is going on in
the coal regions will not be ir-
relevant. We represent the
owners of coal mines in Penn
sylvania. There are from 10. 900
to 10000 men at work mining
and preparing coal. They are
abused, assaulted, injured and
maltreated by the United Mine
Workers. They can work only
under the protection of armed
guards. Thousands of other
workmen are deferred from
working by the intimidation,
violence and crimes inaugurated
by the United Mine Workers,
over whom John Mitchell, whom
you invited to meet you, is
chief.
Daily Crimes Committed.
l need not picture the daily
crimes committed by the men,
bers of this organization. The
domestic tranquility" which
every Constitution declares is the
chief object of government,
does not exist in the coal re-
gions. There is terrible reign
of lawlessness and crime there.
Only the lives and property of
the members of the secret oath
bound order which declared the
"locals should have full power to
suspend operations at colleries,"
until the non-union men joined
their order, are safe. Every ef-
fort is made to prevent the mi
ming of coal, and when mined,
Mitchell's men dynamite bridges
and tracks, mob trainmen, and
by all major violence try to pre-
vent its shipment to relieve the
public.
The Constitution of Pennsyl.
vania guarantees protection Of
life and property. In express
terms it declares the right of ac'
quiring, possessing and defend

Since This Statement Was

The New York Tribune of Sep
tember 30 in a special dispatch

list including only the most ag-
gravated cases:

The Tribune is a very conserv-
ative and careful newspaper, and
from daily reports of outrages
and crimes committed in the an
thracite field, we believe the list
is probably underestimated.
There haye been, too, numerous

whole power of the State to pro-
tect life and property and to es-
tablish peace-not an armed
truce, but the peace of the law
which protects every man at
work atid going to and from
work. He has sent troops to the
coal re esions.
President Should Act
Gradually the power of the
law is asserting itself, Unless
encouraged by false hopes, order
will soon be restored, and then
we can mine coal to meet the
public wants. If the power of
Pennsylvania is insufficient to
re-establish the reign of law, the
Constitution of the United States
requires the President, when re-
quested by the Legislature and
Governor, "to suppress domestic
violence" You see there is a
lawful way to secure coal for the
public.
The duty of the hour is not
to waste time negotiating with
the fomenters of this anarchy
and insolent defiance Of law, but
to do as was done in the War of
the Rebellion, restore the majes-
ty of law, the only guardian of a
free people, and to re-establish
order and peace at any cost.
The Government is a contemp-
tible failure if it can protect the
lives and property, and secure
the comfort of the people, only
by compromising with the viola
tors of law and the instigators of
violence and crime.
Lesson From the State.
Just now 1T is more important
to teach the ignorant, dwelling
among us, misled and used as
tools by citizens of other States,
that at whatever cost and incon-
venience to the pnblic, Penn.
sylvania will use the whole pow
er of government to protect not
only the man who wants to
work, but his wife and children,
while he is at work, and to pun.
ish every man who, by instiga-
ton, or by overert acts, attempts
to deprive any man of his liber-
ty to work.
Under these conditions, we de.
cline to accept Mr.. MITCHELL:
considerate offer to let our men
work on terms 5e names.
He has no right to come from
Illinois to dictate terms on the
acceptance of which anarchy and
crime shall cease in Pennsylva.
MIA. He must stop his people
from killing, manning and abus.
ing Pennsylvania citizens and
from destroying property. He
must stop it because it is unlaw'
full, and not because of any bar
gain with us.
We will add to our offer "tC
continue the wages existing al
the time of the strike and to take
up at each collery and adjust
any grievance" this further
condition-if the employers and
employees 1T any particular col
liery cannot reach a satisfactory
adjustment of any alleged griev.
ances, it shall be referred to the
Judges of the Court of Common
Pleas of the district in which the
colliery is situated for final de-
termination.

Former Mayor Doran, who is also

Nothing daunted by his late repulse from
the charter comm ission, which he tried
to interest in the Endorsement of an
amendment wiping out the commission,
he will try new tactics.
What asking won't do q petition will,
and this, it is said, will be Mr.. Doran' 8
next scheme. Petitions asking for the
adjustment of the commission are now
being prepared, and as soon as ready
they will be circulated by his friends,
who hope to profit, if the scheme ever
reaches consummation.

names of the required number of voters.
the charter commission would have no
alternative but to prepare an amendment

has gone on record as being opposed to
presenting any amendment, but with a

weight

The case of the farmer buying the Ma
sonic Temple in Chicago, and making ad-
vance payment of $500 to the stranger
who sold the property, has a counterpart
IN st. Paul on much smaller scale. The
victim in this case is John Bergen a
laIborer for the Minnesota Transfer COM
pany, who was in police court yesterday
charged with larceny. 1t appears that a
man came to him few days ago and
offered to sell him number of telephone
poles lying near his home. There were
hfteen poles and as it would cost a good
deal to haul them away, ne offered to
sell them for $3.50, which was much
cheaper than cord wood

deal and had the poles hauled to his
home on Myrtle street. AS soon as they
arrived there, he began cutting them up
into lengths suitable for his stove
While he was busily engaged in saw
ing, and congratulating himself on the
good bargain he had made another man
appeared on the scene armed with a
warrant for his arrest. The warrant
charged him with stealing the poles from
the Twin City Telephone company
Bergen then saw that he had been the
victim Of a confidence game and that the
stranger who was so willing to give him
a bargain in the deal was not the owner
Of the poles, but simply a man who was
playing him for a sucker
Bergen told Judge Hine yesterday of
the circumstances connected with the
case and said that he had been the vic
tim of a confidence game. He could not
tell who the stranger was that sold him
the poles as he had not seen him before
or since. In view of the peculiar cir
cumstances the case was continued until
Friday, during which time the matter
will probably be adjusted and the case
dismissed. 7

but the entire plant will be nearly three

fire insurance for the full stated value
of the garments without additional ex-

will be permitted at any time, and per-
