The express car was cut from the

short distance. The robbers found
the door locked, and after command

it and getting no response. fired two or
three shots into the car. The door

farmers.
The wounded, Guy B. Tucker, city

was at 4:30 o'clock that Dearing,
Tucker and Newton were walking
along in front Of the Union Grocery
Company, on the east side; Of the

Brothers. Jim Parnell is said to have
fired at Newton and in an instant the
fusilade began. About seventy-five
shots were fired and the cracking re-
volvers sounded like pitched battle
The men were close together and their
aim was deadly. 1t developed into a
man-to-man affair, Dearing and Tom
ParnelI emptying their several pistols
at each other at a distance so close
that when they fell, unable to shoot
any more, their bodies formed cross.
The others were firing pronliscuously
and it is supposed that shot from

Parnell DR.. Hilton, who tried to sep.
arate the men, was also shot, but not
fatally.

CRY BARONS
Coal Operators Come Down
From PedestalS.
STRIKE NAY SOON END
Masnate Morgan Brings About Con-
ference at Washington at Which
Operators Accept Proposition
Of Miners for Arbitration.

A Washington special says: The
operators have agreed to the appoint
ment of a commission to be appointed
by the president of the United States
to whom shall be referred all questions
at issue between the companies and
their own employees, whether they be-
long to union or not, and the decision
OF the commmision snail be accepted
by the operators.
The commission is to consist of an
army or navy officer, an expert mining
engineer not connected with coal min
ing properties, one of the judges of the
United States courts of the eastern
district of Pennsylvania, man of
prominence, eminent as a socIologist,
and a man who, by active participation
In mining and selling coal, is familiar
with the physical and commercial fea-
lures of the business.
The operators also make as part Of
their proposition that the miners shall
return to work as soon as the commits
sion is constituted, and cease all inter
ference with non-union men.
Tie commission is to name date
when its findings shall be effective,
and to govern conditions of eployment
between the companies and their own
employees for at least three years.
The statement was read to the presi-
dent as an act of courtesy before being
given to the press.

Steamer Not Much Damaged.


The Clyde steamship Apache, which
was damaged in collision with the
steamship Iroquois. Of the same CON-
pany off Comings Point was f1oated
day or two ago and towed to Charles
ton: The vessel was run up on sand
bank Just off East Battery. where she
will remain while undergoing repairs.
AS stated in the newspapers, the
Apache was not so seriously injured
as vast at first supposed. The hole IN
her side made by the stem OF the lro'
ouois did not extend as far below the
water line as was thought at one time.
Il Is believed that the vessel can be
patched up sufficiently within the next
few days to enable her to proceed to
New York for permanent repairs.
The Clyde representatives. in COM
pany with an agent of a New YORK
underwriters association, made an in
spection of the wrecked ship to get at
the monetary loss sustained and ascer-
tain whether or not the ship can be
f1oated without the assistance OF a
wrecking vessel. Other steamers have
taken the place of the injured shlps
and no further delays will be occa-
stoned by the recent accident.
