Shower of Bullets.

Mount Carmel. Pa, Oct. 6.-While a
company of the Fourth regiment of in
fantry was patrolling the Lehigh Coal
company'S Fighter colliery early this
morning three men armed with shot
guns were discovered hiding behind q

were released later.
About midnight a crowd of unknown
men buried rocks al the soldiers camp

SHELDON TURNED DOWN
His Political Resolution in Min
iSterial Union Goes Over.

At the meeting of the ministerial union
this morning a resolution was submitted
by Rev. Charles NJ. Sheldon on the poll
tical situation.
The resolution condemned the present
city and county administration and was
intended to be a Testimonial for Steb-
bins and Stahl and a bomb shell for
Nichols and Lucas. The resolution was
not adopted but was referred back to the
committee and will be brought up again at
the next meeting
Rev. Abram Wyman opposed it's adop-
ton. He said that he had heard many
people say that they would have been
against certain candidates in the past but
for the fact that the Ministerial Union
was against them. He thought that the
union should not take an active part in
politics.
Rev. A NJ. L. Herenius, of the Swedish
Lutheran church, also opposed the resolu-
ton and said that he believed that if the
Ministerial Union had not opposed Nichols
at the last election that Nichols would
have been defeated. He said that he did
not believe in the Ministerial Union sit
ting in judgement on persons and that he
would not do that and that he would not
preach politics from his pulpit.

LET OUT TO GET LAND.
Convict Chambers Sentenced to
Hang, Is PardOned.

Governor Stanley today commuted the
sentence of Moses Chambers, a prisoner
in the penitentiary, so that he will be re-
leased on October 10. after spending eigh-
teen years in the prison.
Chambers killed man in Leavenworth
in 1884 and was sentenced to be hanged,
which, in Kansas means life imprison-
ment. He was taken to the penitentiary
and has been there every since. Chambers
has in his veins strain of Greek blood,
enough to allow him to participate in the
allotment of lands to the Greeks, but he
could not secure his allotment as long as
he was in the penitentiary. The rolls of
the Greek allotment are soon to be closed,
and after investigating Chambers case
Governor Stanley concluded to give him
another trial and release him in time to
participate in the Greek allotment.

LEAVES IN A HURRY.
President Mitchell Starts Out
Unexpectedly Somewhere.
He Is Expected in Washington
at an Early Date.

Harrisburg, Pa, Oct. 6.-Governor
Stone will neither affirm nor deny the
report from Washington that he has
been asked by President Roosevelt to
call an extra session of the general as
sembly to settle the coal strike. He
still declines to discuss the situation or
the prospects of an early settlement of
the differences between the operators
and miners.
Wilkesbarre. Pa. Oct. 6.-President
Mitchell of the Miners union left here
at 4:SO this morning presumably for
Philadelphia. The utmost secrecy is be-
ing maintained as to the object of his
visit. AS late as IL 80 last night he said
he did not expect to leave the city until
tonight when he would depart for Buff
falo. District President Duffy, the only
authority at strike headquarters today,
refused to talk.
The entire Wyoming valley was quiet
today. AS far as can be learned no
more men went to work at any of the
collieries. The Sterling washery at
Plymouth made an ATTEMPT to start up
but no men reported for work.
Washington. Oct. 6.-At the head
quarters of the Federation of Labor it
was stated that President Mitchell
would not be in Washington today, but
probably would be tomorrow. No in
lorna ton could be obtained as to
whether his coming has any bearing on
the White House conference of yester-
day, or whether he has any new pro
position to offer looking to a settlement
of the strike.
| Reading, Pa. Oct. 6.-For the week
ending at midnight last night, officials
! of the Philadelphia & Reading Railway
company, state that the company sent
to market 10000 tons of washerv and
mined coal. The company's officials here
claim that they have men at work TAX
ing out coal at Brookside, Good Spring,
Silver Brook and other collieries in
western Schuylxill county
| With a few exceptions the furnaces in
the Schuylkill valley continue to feel
| the pinch due to the slow arrival OF
coke. There is not a stack in blast to-
| day that has not been. compelled to
cease operations for a week or longer
because of the failure of its fuel sup
ply.
SOMETHING IN THE WIND.
Philadelphia, Oct. 6.-The belief pre-
walls in railroad and coal circles that the
mysterious disappearance of President
! Mitchell from Wilkesbarre foreshadows
an important development in the Goa
strike situation. 1t is rumored that tbs
man with whom Mr.. Mitchell conferred
in this city last Monday was Martin
Maloney, close friend and business
he came here today for the purpose o.
again seeing Mr.. Maloney. Nobody was
able to locate Mr.. Mitchell, however
| Another rumor was to the effect that he
went direct to Washington.
| Governor Stone was closely watched
at Harrisburg by those interested in the
settlement of the strike but he gave ne
outward sign of any unusual movement
in this direction.

cry section of the country and large
from men of standing and
reputation. At the same time it is said
that the suggestions OF IN are absurd
and impractical Others. offering a pos
sible solution already have received at
tentiOn.
There are two constantly recurF
propositions for federal interfere -.
One is that United States troops be sent
into Pennsylvania for the protection OF
men the operators employ, and the 9TH
er that the mines be seized by the gen.
eral government. Both are rejected,
no matter by whom urged. The first
conference developed the fact that no
federal interference by force IVES poSsi-
BILE, and to that conclusion the president
has firmly adhered. Some of the i'm
practicable propositions made are offers
to lease coal mines in other sections of
the country to the government, so that
it may furnish coal to the people.

TWO RIOT CALLS.
*. C. Police Have Trouble With
Mob of Medical Students.


Kansas City, Mo-, Oct. 6.-Two riot
calls were sent into nolice headquarters
today to suppress inc ent riots started
by two hundred medical students who
smashed the windows in the Medico-
Chirurgical college and the Kansas City
Medical college before they were
stopped. The students, bent on commit
ting their usual pranks incident to the
fall festivities. started from the East
side this forenoon creating a din as they
marched through the streets. At the
Medico- -Chirurgical college, on the East
side, dozens of windows were smashed
and students were roughly handled
When the police arrived on the scene in
response to the janitor's riot call, the
students had departed for the Kansas
City Medical college. on the West side
There similar scenes were enacted, but
the work of the students was completed
before the police caught up with them.
Half a dozen students were hurt, but
none seriously. The students made their
escape before arrests could be made.

PULLED 1T BACK.
Mayor of New Orleans ReScindS
an Order in Good Time.

New Orleans. Oct 6.-There is no
change today in the strike situation.
The order of the mayor to the company
to run it's cars at o'clock today, which
was recalled, doubtless prevented vi
olence and gave the public reason to
hope that a truce and a resumption of
traffic was in sight. Chief of Police
Journee. who had issued orders to his
entire force to hold themselves in readi-
ness to protect the cars of the company,
said today that the withdrawal of the
mayors order was entirely justified by
conditions which had developed after it
was sent. Reports of the cutting of
street railway and telegraph wires were
numerous today.

HOW one of the Approaches to New York
Harbor is Fortified


Corporal Mueller, whose home is this
city and who is now serving an enlist~
ment IN the 72nd Coast Artillery, located
at Fort Greble, writes us some informa-

BLOCK Island and SO miles from the head
of the Sound. The island belongs to the
territory of Rhode Island. The Fall

steamers pass in close proximity to the
island and at night look like floating
palaces. The fort is fortified with Is

several smaller guns. The powder charge
for the Dig 16-inch gun is 1860 pounds
and projectile 237O pounds and has
range of from 10 to Is miles. This fort
holds the key to number of important
cities as we'll as the eastern entrance to
New York via Long Island Sound Two
