MONEY FLOWING IN FOR MINERS
Evidence That the Desired S5OO,OOO a
 weeI. Is Being Received,

Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 2.-The col lection of the big defense fund for the anthracite coal mine strikers, created record breaking business for the money order department of the h. dianapolis postofffce, for the quarter ending yesterday. The report shows that the receipts for the last three months this year were $S65, 5,461. The re- ceipts for the corresponding period last year were $512,564. Postofflce officials say the increase is due largely to the business coming from the headquarters of the mine workers. As high as $25,- 900 a day has been cashed for w. B. Wilson, secretary and treasurer of the miners, since the collection of the de- fense fund was begun.
 It is understood on good authority that one-third of the contributions come in the form of money orders, so it seems probable that the miners are not falling much short of the $500,000 week they expected to collect, when arrange ments for the fund were made at their national convention in Indianapolis in July.

SECOND REGIMENT WON.
Capture che Annual Brigade Shoot at
 Hartford.

Hartford, Oct. 2.-In one of the hard est fought rifle matches ever witnessed in a brigade contest the Second regi- ment to-day took first place, with the Third regiment a close second and the First a poor third.
 From the start of the match the Frist regiment was not considered dan gerous, but the race for first honors be- tween the Second and Third was a pretty one. The former, in the POO yard match, held the lead until the last pair went to the mark, when the wind and sun were unfavOrable for Ward and AL ling. Lieutenant filling rolled up a good average score, but Sergeant Ward was unable to get better than 22 This gave the Third regiment a lead of just one point at the close ofthe 200 yard shooting. A richochet shot by Sergeant Rusgrove, scored as a bulls eye was protested by the team captain of the Third.
 At the longer range the marksmen showed up better and the wind and sun was more favorable than at 200 yards. The First and Second shot first, and their grand totals were 592 and 6G0 re- spectively This latter score put the Third team on their mettle, and they shot in excellent style for a time, but went to pieces near the end of the match and lost by a margin of eight pounts, the score being 652. This mar gin, therefore, even though the protest of the Third be allowed, gives the Sec ond the mathc. Following are scores:

THE PRESIDENT PETITIONED
TO COMPEL THE OPERATORS TO
 START THE COAL MINES.

Asked to Give FOrty-eight Hours Notice
 to tho Operators-If Request is Not
 Heeded Then to Take Possession and
 Mine CoaI-Action of Mass Meeting in
 NII.th Ward Last Night.
 At least 250 business men and citi- zens of the Ninth ward attended an en- thusiastic mass meeting in Pohlman's hall, corner of Webster street and Dix well avenue. last night. It was cer- tainly a representative audience, being composed of all classes and races, and the several speakers denounced the coal barons in no uncertain terms and laid the matter before the people in such way that they were frequently inter- rupted with applause and cheers.
 The principal business of the evening was the adoption of the following reso- lution, which is self-explanatory, and is to be forwarded to Washington by Fra nk J. Armstrong, who acted as chairman of the meeting. At tho con- clusion of the speech-malzing the name of every one in the hall was eagerly appended to the document and several sheets of paper were required to con- tain all the names. When the petition was read some one. whose name could not be learned and who immediately left the hall by reason of the resent ment his remarks received, moved that an amendment be made asking the au- thorities to go slow and not make any effort to secure control of the mining | property. This aroused the others at the meeting, and they denounced the 1 speaker in very forcible language. As soon as an opportunity presented itself | he made himself scarce. The offender is not resident of the Ninth ward and was known to only few of those in attendance.
 1 The first speaker of the evening was Attorney George M. Wallace, who re- viewed the situation in a general way and endeavored to point out how the 1 law could be disregarded and the min- 1 ing property taken possession of and worked for the benefit of humanity. Rev. Alexander Irvine spoke at much l length and arraigned the coal barons in scathing terms, and said that the time had come when the people generally
 must recognize that they are brothers to the dirty. black-looking men who toll
 day after day in the bowels of the Eearth We seem to forget that they are
 in existence and that it is their daily labor which furnishes us the black dia-

 distant are deserving of our sympathies

ABRAM s. HEWITT JEERED
HOSTILE DEMONSTRATION AT
 TUNNEL HEARING.

Former Mayor Declares That the De-
 mands of Organized Labor Cannot be
 Legally Compiled With-ImststaDce
 Would Mean the Prevention of the
 Improvement mud the Spending of
 S50,00O, ,0OO by the Pennsylvania Road.
 New York, Oct 2.-There was large attendance at the public hearing of the Pennsylvania railroad franchise to-day A protest against the granting of the franchise was read by Adolph Bloch, representing the owners of twenty-six houses on the south side of 31st street, between Eighth and Ninth avenues.
 S. B. Donnelly, of the Central Feder- ated Union, said that the laboring ele- ment asked for minimum rate of pay for the workers employed, the recogni- tion of the eight-hour law and the em- ployment ot citizens.
 Abram s. Hewitt read resolutions passed by the chamber of commerce at it's meeting to-day favoring the tunnel They were, in effect, that the building of the tunnel would mean the expendi- ture by the railroad company of $50,- 100000 during a period of many years and that the demands of organized la bor could not be legally compiled with and that insistance would mean the prevention of the improvement.
 MT. Hewitt thought it preposterous that the Pennsylvania company should be required to pay for the privilege of building the tunnel inasmuch as in ten years it would become a necessity He could characterize money taking that way as blood money. The city ought to reject the offer of the corporation and give back the millions to be paid to it for the use of land underground which the city itself could never use.
 At this point MT. Hewitt was jeered at and the hostile demonstration pro- voked persons in the room to shout: No, no, he's rght."
 Mir. Hewitt proceeded and finished his remarks by stating that the labor ques- ton might prevent the greatest boom the city had ever had offered to it. The question would soon resolve itself into having the price of labor regulated by jaw. To-day Australia had been brought to the verge of bankruptcy by the regulation of the price of labor by law. If the demands of labor were granted, he would say in all sincerity the work would not go on.
 The Merchants Association of New York, through a committee, presented argument to the rapid transit con- missioners in favor of the franchise. W. H. Baldwin, jr., president of the Long Island Railroad company, sus- tained the Pennsylvania railroads po- sition and said the insertion of the clauses asked for by organized labor ! would mean the indefinite postpone ment of the work of the tunnel con- l struction.
 "The Pennsylvania railroad has nc objection to the unions orato organized l labor nor has it ever expressed any such sentiment" said MT. Baldwin, Continuing he said that they expect ed to employ nothing but union labor and there was no reason why difficul. l ties could not be submitted to arbitra. ton but that it was impractical, in fac | illegal. to put the clauses asked for 1T l the franchise.
 ; John D. Crimmins implored the rep. resenta lives of organized labor not tc stop a great public work. Several oth' CTS spoke in the same vein.
