ANNOUNCEMENT AUTHORIZED BY
WEAVER OF THE WEAVER
COAL COMPANY.
Offers WILL FOLLOW sui
REALIZE THAT SETTLEMENT
CANNOT &c PUT OFF ANY
LONGER.

Chicago, Sept. 10. - Word was re-
ceived in Chicago last night from
Henry l.. Weaver, of the Weaver Coal
company, who is in Buffalo, that the
anthracite coal strike will soon come
to an end, and that one of the largest
mines in the heart of the disturbed
district in pennsylvania is about to
give in to the strikers and that other
mines will directly follow the example
of the leader.
C. F.. Ferguson, private secretary to
Mr.. Weaver, received long telegram
from Buffalo stating the case and the
announcement was authorized by Mr..
Weaver through Mr.. Ferguson in Chi
cago.
THE big mine which Mr.. Weaver re-
fers to-" said Mr.. Ferguson, "will be
in operation within week. The own
ers of the mine, which is one of the
largest in the affected district, realize
that the settlement which is bound to
come, cannot be put off any longer, as
the big strike has now come to a
crisis and affairs haye reached such a
serious point and the effects are so
widespread and dire that the settle
ment must come. promptly. Mr..
Weaver was assured that the mine
would be working again within week.
Of course the other mines will follow
the example promptly and the public
can look forward to settlement of all
of the difficulties within a short time. !"

LYNcHED BY A MOB.
Vengeance on a Negro Who Assaulted
White Woman.

willie VOUldus
Marshfield, Or, Sept. 90. - Alonzo
Tucker, colored, who assaulted Mrs
Dennis near Libby, Wednesday, was
lyDched yesterday. A body of coal
miners heavily armed marched into
town Wednesday evening. The mar
shall, who had Tucker in custody, at
tempted to take him from the Jail just
as the miners entered and a rush was
made for the negro. He managed to
give his custodian the slip and jump
under the wharf into the mud flats and
eluded both officers and mob until yes
terday. The miners stationed armed
guards at every point of egress. Every
corner of the town was searches and
finally two boys located the fugitive
under Dean & Co.'s store. The boys
fired at him with air guns and drove
him from his hiding place. AS he
emerged ball from rifle caught him
in the right leg. Tucker ran into
Deans store and was followed by the
miners, who started to string him up
in the store, but they finally decided
to take him to the scene of the crime.
A start was made but the negro died
from his wounds and the mob hanged
him to beam on the South Marsh
field bridge. There was not masked
man in the crowd and everything was
done in broad daylight.

SOLVE FRIAR PROBLEM.
American Friars Will Supplant the
Spanish

Philadelphia, Sept 20. - An impor-
tant step toward the solution of the
troubles in the Philippine islands
caused by the presence of the Spanish
friars there was yesterday taken at
Villa Nova college, when the Most
Rev. Thomas Rodriguez, o. S. A., of
Rome, prior general of the Augustin-
ian order throughout the world, an
nounced that Rev. Daniel O'Mahoney
of Andover, Mass, and Rev. J. E. Nc
Erlaine of Villa Nova had been or
dered to the Philippines as pioneers in
the movement of American priests to
those islands to succeed the Span
iards. The two priests will leave for
Manila within the next two weeks and
will be followed in short time, it is
believed, by several other American
Augustanians. Both clergymen chosen
are distinguished and able members Of
the order.

Freight Trains Collide and One Man Is
kilIed-Passenger train Wrecked.
Tacoma, Wash, Sept. 20. - Two
freight trains collided head-on on
heavy down grade at the eastern end
of the Northern Pacific tunnel through
the Cascade mountains. H. s. Shaffer
was killed and Engineer A. ]. Adams
and Brakeman Oswald were seriously
hurt. The wreck caught fire and
twelve cars of lumber and coal were
destroyed. The engines were wrecked.
The blocking of the track necessitated
the sending of Passengers No. and
No. over the Palmer cutoff. Be.
tween Covington and Auburn No. 4,
which had stopped to take water, was
crashed into by No. G., which came
down the slope at high speed. The
baggage and mail cars of the first
train were telescoped and H. L. Moore
and F. e. Chase, mail clerks, and
Charles Saurens, express messenger.
were hurt, but not seriously.

Runs Into an Open Switch While
Running Fifty Miles an Hour.
Chillicothe, Ohio, Sept. 20.-No. 2.
the Royal Blue Flyer on the Baltimore
& Ohio Southwestern, was wrecked at
Leesburg. near here, at o'clock last
night, the train having ran into an
open switch while running at the rate
of fifty miles an hour. To add to the
disaster the engine exploded and the
engineer, Philip Roe, and Fireman
Charles Studer, both of this city, were
killed outright. Every coach on the
train left the track, but advices from
the scene of the wreck are that none
of the passengers has been seriously
injured. General Manager I. G. Rawn
was in his private car on the rear of
the train and he superintendent taking
care of the many who are more or less
hurt. He ordered the injured brought
to the Warner house in this city. He
asked for room for forty-four persons
injured. Their names cannot be OBJ
tanned here, as all is confusion. The
train consisted Of eight coaches and
Was Packed With People
who were returning home from the
Cincinnati fall festival. Conductor
David Thurlow was in charge of the
train. The train in leaving the track
knocked down several telegraph poles,
consequently all wires are down and
advices are meager.
No explanation can be given for the
wreck. It was first thought that a
freight crew had left the switch open,
but there was no train on the siding at
the time. The siding is very small
one and the engine while going at
high rate of speed easily jumped the
track. People from here on the train
report that it is one of the worst
wrecks that ever occurred on the road,
as all the coaches are more or less up
set. The postal and baggage cars
were heaped on top of the engine tank
and it will take many hours to clear
the wreck.
