HAlNES MUIR
DER TRIAL,

Mt. Holly, N. j., March 30. -
Over II little grave in Harlciyl
Cemetery nodded in the breeze o
this glorious day an. Easter lily,
that delicate exotic; symbolic, III
its whiteness, Of purity. Along
side lay II bouquet OF pink roses
sweet smelling, like the lily, ant
close by was bunch of violcts
The grave was that of Gwendolin
Haines. She died just one yeal
ago, on Sunday.
In Il cell filled with Easter flow.
crs sent by friends there sat to-
day the woman who the State de.
cares murdered Gwend lin Haine 8
Il btby. The woman was waiting
the morrow, to speak to the world
her own story, to refute the awful
charges-charges that, if true,
stamp the woman as one cf the
tienls cf the age. The woman
who sat waiting in that cell was
Mrs. May Ella Haines.
Above the Court room where
Mrs. Haines passed through the
most trying ordeal OF her life dur
ing the past week there lounged
most of to-day twelve men, whose
duty it will be say whether the
woman prisoner shall die on the
gallows or so out into the open air
again, in the wake of the Easter
glory free. Those twelve men
were the jurymcn who are trying
Mrs. Haines for murder.
The picture in the cell of the
accused woman to-day was in
strange contrast to the picture
drawn in the solem Court by wit
nesscs. Seated in rocker in the
bcdroom-likc cell was Mrs. Haines
with her unnamed baby Ct seven
months nestled to her breast as
she swayed to and fro. Around
the cell floor toddlcd her other
child, two-year-oll Howard Haines
the boy OF the golden corkscrew
curls, who for five days turned
the dignifed Court into a kinder
garten, with his romping and
merry laughter At short inter-
walls Mrs Haines kissed the babe
she rocked, and talked goo, goo,
and when Howard tuggcd at her
dress she kissed him, too.--
The picture was of a loving
mother and Of those she
loved. During the day Howard
Haincs, the father, was in and
out, and he divided his time be-
tween a talk with his wife and a
romp with his son.

Expected Another OperutioD.

Indianapolis, Sept. 2S.-The Indianap- oils physicians and surgeons who par ticipated in the operation performed on the president at St. Vincent's hospital last Tuesday were shown the dispatch from Washington announcing that an- other operation had been necessary, and all declared that this was not un- expected. All united, however, in say ing that there is no danger to the pres ident in such an operation. either from blood poisoning or in regard to perma- nent impairment of the limb.
 Dr. John H. Oliver. who performed the first operation, said: ''The new op- eration is only what we all feared will be made necessary, and that was the reason we advised that he be hurried back to Washington. The wound is by no means dangerous, although it is ot such a nature as to require that he give up the use of his limb for some time There is absolutely no danger that the limb will have to be amputated, or from blood poisoning, either"

 The Lily club, composed of the wives of some well known German citizens and organized several years ago for social purposes held an enjoyable re- union at Mrs. Wfs1er's at Savin Rock recently. At 4:30 o'clock a fine shore dinner was served to which the members sat down. As the ladies seated themselves about the table they formed fine bouquet. Mrs. Schiefferdecker was the peony of the bunch, Mrs Wagner the rose, Mrs Duerschuck the pansy, Mrs. Westermar the golden rod, Mrs. Buck the lilac, Mrs. Smith the violet, Mrs. Donovan the for get-me-not, Mrs. Schraeder the morn ing glory. Mrs. Pfegher the hyacinth, Mrs. Ploehn the narcissis. This certain ly was a variegated bouquet and when it broke lose and tackled Holsters, clans, oysters, chicken, chowder. and many other things it was sight to be- hold. The ladies all had their appetites with them and ate everything that came their way. When they left they all de. clared they would not want anything else for a week.

STRIKE OFFICIALS GATHERING
An Important Meeting Likely in Phila-
 deIphia To-day.

Philadelphia, Sept. 29.-Thomas B. Nichols, Thomas Duffy and John Fahy, presidents of the three anthracite dis tricts of the United Mine Workers, ar rived at the Windsor hotel here about midnight from the coal region. After registering they left the hotel and up to 1:30 a. m. had not returned.
 The object of their visit to Philadel- phia is not known, but as President Mitchell and National Secretary-Treas- urer Wilson left Pittsburg last night for this city the inference is that a conference of the mine strike leaders will be held here, probably to-day. Mitchell and Wilson will not reach here until or o'clock this morning.
 Pittsburg, Sept. Exchanges in the first announced plan of President Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers, caused no little speculation here to-day. Instead of going to Wilkesbarre this morning he remained here until to- night, going to Philadelphia on the fast | line in the Pennsylvania.

MITCHELL ANSWERS CRITICS
(Continued from First Page.)

Continued from First Page.)
 There are other statements of MT. Baer which are equally incorrect. Among these is his assertion that the miners only worked from four to six hours per day. and his further asser- ton that the lowest scale of wages was eighty-five cents for boy slate pickers.
 If MT. Baer desires I shall gladly fur
 nish him with the names and addresses of thousands of slate pickeers, each Of whom received much less than eighty five cents per day, and l shall be will ing to have the returns verified by the companies payrolls
 "The next missstatement of MT. Baer to which I shall give notice is that which claims that for some mysterious reason the miners restricted the out put of the mines MT. Baer claims that in this manner the product of the collieries has been reduced about twelve and one-hal per cent, and that in the case of the Reading company it amounted to more than 100000 tons. | This is vitally important, if true; but | it is not true. The fact is that instead of a. loss of 100000 tons there was an | increase in the year 1901, from the
 mines operated by the Reading conn., I pany, of 838, ,243 tons; and a total in- crease from all the anthracite mines of 100000 tons. (See report of Pennsyl- vania State Bureau of Mines.) The output of coal in 1901 was far in excess of that of any year in the history oi 1 coal mining, and even q paper so avOw- l edly and bitterly hostile to the minf Iiworkers' union as the Engineering anC Mining Journal admits that virtually the only restriction on output was 2 shortage of cars This shortage, the | Journal continues, soon became mark. ed.' and by the end of November the Reading collieries and those of somC other companies were mining on shor ] time Gssue of January 4, 1902.) Al though his statement does not admi of any such construction, it is still pos sjble that MT. Baer refers to the pe capita output but even here he errs A careful calculation of per capita out put from the Pennsylvania State Bu reau of Mines shows that. despite MT Raer's assert ion that the miners work ed only from four to six hours per day despite the assertion that the men re stricted the output. the per capita pro duction in 1901, the year complained of

 and Remnnded.
 New York. Sept. 2S.-An autopsy was performed to-day on the decapitated body of James B. Craft, who was mur- dered early Saturday morning in the Empire Cafe in West Twenty-ninth street The coroner's physician who performed the autopsy refused to say what it showed. The point of interest in this is whether OF not knockout" drops had been given MT. Craft before he was attacked with the cleaver. If traces of chloral were found in the stomach the police claim this would show plot to rob the victim. Mrs. Craft, wife of the murdered man, said to-day that MT. Craft had a considera- ble sum of money with him when he left his home at Glen Cove.

At the white house at 10 o'clock it was stated that the president was doing very well and that no additional state- ment would be issued.
