SherodsvilIe Is Enjoy
ing Great Prosperity.
NEW SHAFT BUILDING
That Will Give Employment to
a Lot OF Men--Last Pay
day Was q Record
Breaker.
(Staff Specially

Sherodsville, Feb. 15.-Never in the
history of this village has there been
such activity In the mines as at pres
ent. The month of January was a
record breaker, the total output being
1,175 cars, which is an average of As
cars day. The freight alone on this
amount was over $4,000. The miners
have been working full time for sew
eral months past, and with the wage
scale settled there is no doubt that
they will be kept busy, as the mines
cannot keep up with their orders.
The last pay day was the largest
ever KNOWN. amounting to I$10,481
which was an average of $11 fOreacfl
man, woman and child in the village.
Arrangements are about complete
for the opening of the new shaft mine
on the Stephenson farm, Just one mile
from town. This will develop a new
and valuable coal territory and give
employment to large number of men.
1t means a boom for Sherodsville. II
will be necessary to sink the shaft rs
feet deep and the surveys have already
been completed. The shaft will DO
equipped with electrical power and will
have the latest equipment for hoist
ing and handling the coal. The rail-
way company is arranging to build
the switch. which will be about 1000
feet long. The work will be pushed
as rapidly as possible, as the projectors
are anxious to get into the market
with their product.
The operators at No. 6 mine arc
leasing large tracts Of land that Is un-
Gerlaid with coal. and one of the con.
ditions In every lease Is that they will
rest the territory and develop 1t In a
short time. AS the leases all carry
forfeiture clauses and a royalty will
have to be paid II development is not
made within the specified time, 1t ia
thought that this means another new
mine opening.

BETTER ROADBED
FOR THE Fl. WAYNE
Pennsylvania 10 Planning Ex-
tensIve improvements West
Of the Summit Cut.

Pittsburg, Feb. 15.-While the Penn
sylvania railroad east of Pittsburg is
being reconstructed at an enormous
expense, plans are being prepared for
the reconstruction Of the lines west OF
Pittsburg on q similar scale. Tho
greatest work on the Ft. Wayne and
the Panhandle will be within the limits
Of the Pittsburg district. West OF the
Summit cut. where the great main line
of the Pittsburg. Ft. Wayne & Chicago
crosses the watershed and descends to-
ward the central Ohio valley, there
are a number of bad curves. These
are to be modified or eliminated 80
as to have high speed track between
Summit cut and Alliance.
On the Panhandle they will cut out
three bad curves. These are near the
Pennsylvania and West Virginia state
line. A tunnel and deep cut will be
necessary to give straight line from
Hanlin down to Collier yards. Over
this straight stretch of track trainH
can be run at an unlimited speed with
no danger.
Preceding the centennial year, the
Ft. Wayne was improved between Sum.
NIT cut and Salem by the elimination
Of curves. They could not improve the
grades then and many of the curves
between Summit cut and Beaver FalIa
were allowed to remain.

when I recovered consciousness at
s o'clock in the morning, found my
self tied hand and foot and surround
ed by savages who, believing me to be
dead. we're keeping me for themselves.
I saw the body of Baron Viliars near
me bound to tree. His body was
naked, his head had been split open,
his eyes had been gouged out, and his
groin was horribly mutilated. The
Count De Saint Remy had been de-
capitated and his head stuck on the
end of spear as a trophy. M.s, Hagen
book was being roasted over fire. The
savages were about to cut him up.
Around me the ground was strewn
with corpses. Suddenly great
clamor arose, followed by fusillade.
DR.. .Foriter and the remainder of the
mission were firing on the cannibals.
The rescuers ran to me and cut the
bonds. The cannibals fed, leaving
thirty-two dead. The clothes of M.

missing. He had evidently been de-
voured during the night"

Of Co-Respondents in
This Divorce Cass--Co-
shocton 10 Shocked.

Z Coshocton, o., Feb. IA thunders
bolt fell In prominent society circles
when 10 supposed best citizens were
named in yesterdays hearing Of the
Beebe divorce suit as visitors at the
homo of Mrs. Beebe In the absence OF
her husband on business trips. The
husband, who is the well-known trav-
cling salesman for an eastern boot
and shoe house., was on the stand.
"The names Of how many men were
mentioned In your wife's confession?"
asked Mr.. Powelson, attorney for Mrs.
Beebe.
"Ten," was the reply.
did you know them all personals
SPOKE OF THEM FREQUENTLY.
Yes; she confessed to immoral re-
lations with each. Yes, we spoke of
the 10 frequently from the time Of the
confession till she left my home. We
discussed sCparation, but could not
agree about the children"
you may relate your conversation
In the course OF that confession" said
Mr.. POwelson.
This the witness began to do, but
when he had arrived at the point when
the names Of the ten alleged para
mours would have to be disclosed, Mr..
Pomerene interposed objections, argu-
ing that tho names other than Charles
Raymers were not pertinent, that mis-
conduct could not be proved by cor
robrative evidence except In Raymer's
case. and that II the other nine names
were made public heartaches would re-
suit and innocent men would be
blackened.
LIST OF CORRESPONDENTS.
why is It," asked Mr.. Powelson.
sternly, "that they are so anxious to
save heartachee in the homes of these
ten men and yet are to sting and fur
ther degrade this wife? They say those
names are immaterial: then why have
they gone out of their way to charge
this woman with immortality with
them?"
ut is the plaintiff himself who has
brought this thing into court"
Judge Maxwell then ruled that the
list might be given. In response to
Mr.. Powelson's question the witness
stated that the wife's confession i'm

MysteriousIy When on
Foster Gangs Trail.
|PRUSS|C ACID USED
Beautiful Woma n In, pIicated in
the Case, Which Has Many
Dime Novel Feat
ures.

Findlay, O., Feb. 15.-In substan-
tiation of the theory that the unex,
pected death of Detective John Welker
at Greenyille, o., last week was due to
the work of some member of the Fos-
ter gang whom he had sent to states
prison for life, the mysterious deaths
of two other officers that shadowed the
gang is offered. They were deaths
suspiciously similar to that of Wei
ker and the similarity has excited the
most general comment in this city.
In 1899 gang of thieves entered
the home of George Oman, south of
this city, tied the family hand and
foot and subjected them to the most
atrocious indignities in an endeavor
to make them reveal the hiding place
of $4,000 that was supposed to be in
the house. Frank Strickler, a local
detective, took hold Of the case. He
caught two or three valuable clews
and to some of his bosom friends he
said that the crime and, number of
others would be fastened upon local
crooks.
He made but little secret of the
success he thought was his. Then,
while in the best of health, he sud-
denly died. Post mortem examina-
ton showed that something had eaten
out his stomach. Prussic acid, the
physicians said, 1t was.
No sooner than death claimed
Strickler than another ambitious man
appeared on the scene. Samuel Lowe,
of Cleveland, took up the scent and
soon arrived at the place Strickler
left it. He went further and had af-
fidavits in his possession that he show
ed the local police absolutely clinch-
ing the crime on local crooks now
known as members of the Foster gang.
Like all gangs of desperate men,
or two in It's outer circle OF member
ship. One day beautiful woman
came to this city from Toledo and
stopped at the Hotel Marvin, where
Lowe was stopping An acquaintance
sprung up between them. She and
Lowe took frequent drives and she
became his confidential friend. Lowe
confided to friend that he was to
marry the handsome brunette known
as Mrs. Hay.
One morning Lowe was found dead
in bed at his room in the hotel His
vitals had been eaten, the doctors
said. by prussic acid His fiancee came
that morning and was alone with the
dead she claimed as her own. Then
she left and has never since been seen.
When relatives arrived to claim the
body the papers, the local police said
were with him. were not to be found.
This death was within six weeks of
the death of Strlckler.

Sub District Miners
Meetings to be Held.
HOOKING TO Be FIRST
And MassiiIon and FCoshoeton
Districts Will Confer on
Scale tho Week OF
March z.

Bridgeport. Feb. 17.-National Vice
President T. L. Lewis, of the United
Mine Workers of America, returned
yesterday from an important meeting
of the Ohio state executive COMMITTEES
Of the organization, at Columbus.
The meeting Of the committee was
held to arrange for the sub-district
Joint conferences. The Hooking dis
trict being the basing point for the
state will hold its conference first,
and February 25 is the date set for
1t to start. The Guernsey district con-
ference will be held the same week.
Coshocton and Massillon districts the
following week and the others as
soon after as they can be arranged.
The vice president said the hardest
fight in Ohio this year would be right
in the Ohio river field, against the
DeArmits, in Belmont county. He
said
THE BELMONT FIGHT.
Arrangements were made to carry
on the fight against the DeArmits
till such a time as the company agrees
to pay scale rates. The organization
is determined that he will never be
permitted to operate his mines at less
rate than the other operators are pay
ing. 1t Is not local or state fight
by any means, as the national organ
ization is to take hand. 1t is the
sentiment of Ohio miners to contribute
anything up to half their earnings to
defeat the purpose of the DeArmits,
and they may as we'll realize first a5
last that the U. M. w. of A. is in
the fight to finish. There is no ques-
tion that the Empire company will
realize sooner or later from business
standpoint at least that we mean what
we say. Our policy is well defined
and there can be but one result-they
must pay scale prices"
Speaking of the changes effected at
the Indianapolis convention, Mr.. Lewis
said
"The most important change in the
constitution is that which requires a
vote of two-thirds of the members
of the national board (now composed
of one man from each district, or 23
in alD before a general strike can be
declared. and even then all che district
officers must be called in for consulta-
tion.
ELECTION BY DIRECT VOTE.
Another important change in the
constitution is that which makes it
necessary for the national officers to be
elected by 2 direct vote of the different
local unions. The vote of each local
will be recorded and the totals footed
up. This will do away with the pres
ent system of electing by delegates and
1t is believed it will be more satisfac-
tory.
an the Joint conference seven de-
mands were made by the miners and
policy was adopted and carried out to
secure all or nothing, with the usual
result that we got nothing. 1 believed
then and believe yet that the miners
were entitled to at least five cents per
ton advance over last years prices and
could have secured it If the PROPOSE
tions embodied in their demands had
been traded one against the other as
they should have been.
