With Her Assailant.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1O.-George Stein
burger. aged twenty-one years, who says
he lives at SO Poplar Street. Brooklyn,
was a prisoner at Yorkville Court today
on charge of burglary.

stress, of 317 East Fourteenth Street.

Miss Gross. who is small and slight,
fought with all her strength and man
aged to wriggle out of the quilt. She
said the burglar had turned off the
light and left the room in darkness, and
when she made an outcry he caught her
by the throat and struck her several
blows in the face, blackening one of her
eyes and loosening her teeth.
The burglar fed. She followed as
far as the street door, where she sank
to the floor.

MARRIED IN HISTORIC
PEW OF WASHINGTON
Couple Enjoy Unique We'd
ding in Christ Church.

The honor of being the first couple
| married in Washington's pew in his
toric old Christ Episcopal Church
where the immortal George spent many
Sundays in prayer, belongs to Miss Ma
tilda Jane Alloway, aged thirty three
years. and Harry Bectal, aged thirty-flve
years, both of New Philadelphia, Ohio.
The couple came on TO Washington to
attend the G. A. r. encampment, and
during their stay in Washington, last
Wednesday, decided TO go down to
Alexandria and visit the various points
of historical interest. Among the places
visited was old Christ Church, and it
then dawned on the couple that it would
be very romantic. as well as unique, tn
be married in the pew in that historical
edifce.
The couple shortly afterward begaa
putting their ideas into practical opera
ton. They proceeded to the office OF
the clerk of the court and secured the
necessary license, 1t then dawned on
them that they would have to probably
be married by an Episcopal clergyman.
Both were starch Methodists, and the
idea of being married by minister
other than their own denomination did
not meet with their approval This
was a barrier that must be overcome.
The couple. however. were undaunted,
and had fully made up their minds to
overcome all obstacles that might be
thrown in their way in order that they
have the distinction of being the only
couple ever married in the famous pew.
Obstacles to Overcome.
After proceeding several squares they
met Charles Stump, son of Rev. J. p.
Stump. pastor of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church South. They told him
their mission. and Mr.. Stump. being a
ministers son. was perhaps the most
suitable person they could have Sc
cured to assist them out of their trou-
bic. ''All the world loves a lover" and
Mr.. Stump was no exception.
Shortly afterward he had them in the
presence of the vestrymen of Christ
Church, and here the couple again re-
Ieated their story. After some DELHI
Grafton the vestrymen agreed to allow
the ceremony to be performed in the
Few by Methodist divine.
The first and great barrier being out
of the way, the only one remaining was
the minister to tie the knot. This
proved to be the most pleasing feature
of the whole program TO young Mr..
Stump, for in short order he secured
the services of his father. Rev. J. P.
Stump. and in few minutes thereafter
the entire party were standing in Wash
ington's pew. where the couple were
united.
After the ceremony Mr.. and Mrs. Bes-
tai returned to Washington, delighted
with the manner and place of thei-
wedding. and upop their return West
will make their home in New Philu-
Gelphia, Ohio.

CONCESSIONS REFUSED AT
CONFERENCE IN NEW YORK

| NEW YORK, Oct. 10-The conference
of statesmen and the anthracite coal
operators met again in Nenator Platt'
office at 49 Broadway today, and failed
TO reach basis for settling the strike.
Apparently the only conclusion was
that the operators would not negotiate
on any terms which Senators Plat.
Quay, and Penrose, and Governor Odell
were able to propose. The presidents
were represented at the conference by
President Baer. of the Reading, and e.
3. Thomas chairman of the Erie board
of directors.
When the talk was over neither side
was willing TO tell what concessions
were asked, but there is authority fer
saying that some of the representations
which were made to the men in con-
troll Of the coal mines were not con-
ciliatory
Thaf were asked, for example, to con-
slider the possibility of the New York
and Pennsylvania legislatures being
convened in extra session to take action
relating TO the coal supply.
Pressure Resisted.
Whatever other pressure was brought
TO bear upon them the operators seem to
have resisted it. After the conference q
statement was made which said It was
impracticable to reach conclusion of
the strike on the basis suggested this
morning. The statesmen hoped tina:
when the coal presidents met in their
regular session next Tuesday they would
have something favorable to say in ra-
ply to what had been suggested to them,
but that hope did not saem to prevail
elsewhere.
This evening each of those who took
part in the conference at Senator Platt's
office said that one OF the propositions
made to Mr.. Baer and Mr.. Thomas was
that If by Tuesday next the output from
the mines warranted reduction in the
price OF coal the distributing agents of
the operators should be Immediately in
structed to offer anthracite coal through
out the United States at price of s525
ton. Meantime tho operators were 20
do everything possible to increase the
output at the mines.
The statesmen are looking forward
to Tuesday in the hope that by that time
the output Of the mines will have been
increased so that the operators may
reduce the price of coal
Mr. Baer and Mr. Thomas, it was as
serted cn tia highest authority, told
the statesmen that politicians should
not have irterfered with this matter
This led TO more or less irritable talk
in The conference. and Governor odell.
replying, said that he did not appear
there as a politician, but as the gov
ernor of tbs State OF New York, repre-
senting 1000 600 people.

Many Tickets Confscated.

Since the G. A. r. visitors have COM
menced returning home 1t was stated
1t has been discovered that the tickets
issued for the encampment have found
their way into the hands of persons
other than the original purchasers.
These persons when presenting the tick
cts to the railroad officials. 1t is con-
tended. represented themselves to be
the original purchasers and signed the
names of the latter as their own. In
all such instances, 1t was stated to the
court. the tickets were taken up by the
railroad agent or conductor. as was
their right under the terms of the pur-
chase contract.
In behalf OF the members of the
American Ticket Brokers Association
il was contended that in purchasing the
return coupons CT encampment tickets
they were conducting Legitimate busi-
ness. for which they are licensed by
the District authorities. and that the
brokers are in no way responsible for
any contract which may have been en-
tered into between the purchasers of
the tickets and the railroad companies.
Argument Continued Today.
The argument was opened by Attor-
ney McKenncy. representing the Penn
sylyania Railroad, who spoke for about
two hours. He was followed by Attor-
ney Henry f. Davis, of counsel for the
defendants. Attorneys Hamilton and
Colbert, representing the other rail
roads. will address the court this morn
ing, rs will also Messrs. Birney and
Woodard, representing the defendants.
When the court adjourned yesterday
Justice Hagner asked counsel if they
desired to continue the hearing today.
It is unusual to hear argument on Sat
urday. but all tho attorneys interested
in the matter seemed anxious that the
matter should be settled without delay.
Justice Hagner therefore stated that
he will be present this morning at 10
o'clock in order that the arguments may
be resumed

Al E-EXANDRIA ITEMS
OF CURRENT INTEREST
Elimination of Negro Vote
Light Registration.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. Oct 1o.-The
registration for this city was completed
at 8 O'Clock tonight. when the books OF
the Third ward were closed The total
registration shows that 1917 whites and
144 colored registered. which is little
over one-half of the white vote of the
city and only about one-tenth of the
colored vote. This is, practically speak
ing, the elimination of the ntgro vote
in this city, and in future elections
that vote VIII count for little. Prior ~
this time the colored vote was relied Oh
considerably by the candidates who had
their support, and any candidate who
had the entire colored vote, together
with a fair white vote, was assured Of

The Next Encampment.
Selection of the location for the next
annual encampment was taken up under
special order. Atlantic City and San
Francisco were the only cities given
serious consideration by the convention.
Saratoga Springs was named by a MEM
Der of the delegation from that city, but
member of the New York delegation
called attention to the fact that the
state was not giving support to The can
dldacy This policy was decided upon
at caucus of the State delegation.
Atlantic City was named by Depart
ment Commander Enos F. Ham. Maj.
Gen. William R. Shafter placed the
claims of San Francisco before the en-
campment.
ceeded far before 1t was evident that
San Francisco would be selected, and all
doubt was removed when New York cast
Its entire vote for the Western city.
Before the announcement of the result q
member of the New Jersey delegation
moved that the selection of San Fran
cisco be made unanimous. The motion
carried amid great cheering. The un-
official vote as secured by the adiutant
generals assistants gave San Francisco
52S votes, and Atlantic City 162.
Official Endorsements.
Several hours were consumed in tho
consideration of proposed amendments
to the bylaws and to resolutions placed
before the convention. The suggestion
that the organization give assistance in
the building of temple of fraternity
on the grounds of the st. Louis Expo
sition was favored, A proposition from
General Heidekoop, of Philadelphia, fa-
yoripg the payment of pensions month
ly instead of quarterly was disapproved.
