WALLTNGFORD.

There was a peculiar accident at Gro ceryman Murrays store yesterday morning that caused considerable trou- ble and quite a little sport to those not connected with the store. It seems that Murray hitched his dog in the back room, where the molasses hogshead is kept, the night before. The animal by some way got its rope caught in the faucet and started the molasses run ming, and in the morning there was a sad scene. The floor was covered and so was the dog with sweet coating that was neither pleasing nor beauti- full in the opinion of the proprietor. The dog, which is one of the long hair ed species, was a sight to behold. The services of John Hamlin were called into requisition, and at the last &C., counts the floor was found and the dog was getting relieved of its surplus sup ply of congealed sweetness, and after a time everything will be restored to it's usual position.
 The same police officers and specials will remain as they are, the rest of this week anyway. The same can be said of the fire department officers.

A CLEVER SCHOLAR.
Knew the Food to Study on.

When a young lady going away to school carries food away with her in place of a box of candy, there must be some reason.
 A woman in Milton Mills, N. H., says Having large family, I had much care and worry, and was never very strong and healthy, but managed to keep fairly well until the last few years. Each summer lately found me worn out and weak at it's close, so that I had to spend week or two in bed. My stomach always fails me when I am over-tired, the food refusing to as simulate, until finally my stomach be- comes so weak that the mere standing on my feet causes me to retch so viol- ently that I have often vomited blood.
 I had seen Grape-Nuts food adver- tised and fancied it was like other cer- calls, many of which I had tried and discarded. When my usual attack came on last August, I was in despair, for nothing would stay on my stomach except a little. hot milk.
 I decided to try Grape-Nuts and sent for package. I ate 8 little and lay back after eating without experiencing
  followed any movement in bed, and fell into a refreshing sleep. I contin- ued using the food and day by day gained rapidly in strength until now l am entirely well and strong and my stomach does not bother me any moxe.
 Grape-Nuts is what I have often wished for-something that I can eat for breakfast and feel that I am satis- fled. After eating a dish of Grape Nuts with little cream, I can work all the morning and forget I have stomach.
 The children like it so well that it is hard to keep them in bounds as to the quantity that should be eaten. My eld- est girl actually carried off a package when she returned to school at -- with as much elation as if it had been a box of the choicest bon-bons" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich. ~-

4 COMPLETE SURPRISE.
Washington Conference Did Not Expect
 Such Action in New York.

! washin gton Conference ce Did Not Expect Such Action in New York.
 Washington, Nov. 25.-The prospects for an understanding between the Unit ed Mine Workers and the coal operators outside the anthracite coal strike conn.,
 mission. came to a sudden termination late this afternoon through the receipt of a dispatch from Wayne MacVeagh,
 representing the Pennsylvania Coal
 company and the Hillside Coal company
 notifying him that at meeting of the anthracite coal road men in New York
 to-day it had been decided not to grant
 an interview to Mir. Mitchell and his as-
 sociates which had been suggested for
 Friday next.
 The announcement coming as it did on
 an all days conference in this city be-
 tween MT. MacVeagh and Mir Mitchell
 and his associates, attended part of the
 time by Carroll D. Wright in an en-
 deavor to adjust some details of the proposed agreement between the opera
 tors and the miners, completely surpris- ed everyone here. From a reliable source it is learned that the proposition
 IIldL LllS OpCI IIlCCl MI. hlICuElI OIl Friday next was made at the instance of MT. MacVeagh, who was no less sur prised than Mir. Mitchell himself at the turn affairs took to-day. From state ments made by MT. Darrow early in the day the impression had spread that a complete agreement would be effected at to-day's conference, but when the meeting broke up MT. DarroW read to the newspapermen in the corridor out side his room in Willard's hotel a state ment which made it clear that no final agreement had been reached and that no further conferences were likely. The statement was as follows:
 "The conference to-day was simply a continuance of the conferences held 1t Scranton and with precisely the same object-that of trying to reach basis of hopeful discussion for an amicable settlement. MT MacVeagh has not been in Scranton since Thursday and some matters developed as to whether a further conference might be useful be- fore either the operators or the repre- sentatives of the miners approach the serious task of formulating a definite agreement for their signatures.
 MT. Mitchell when shown the dispatch from New York, telling of the action of the operators said that he did not ask for 8 conference. MT. Darrow and MT. Lloyd, however, were outspoken regard ing the action of the operators. MT. Darrow said that it was now up to the opera tors" and that he would return at once to Scranton and on Tuesday next would appear before the commission ready to go on with the hearing. MT. | Lloyd referred to the fact that Fridays conference had been suggested in order l to adjust some matters on which there | was still some disagreement. "Yet," said MT. Lloyd, these same men, who only last week wired to commission | their assent to the general provisions of l the tentative agreement, and upon the | strength of which the committee ad- journed for week in order to give the | parties time to get together now go | completely back on their former action |

 pr Bricker is ill constant attendance at the cells of the Riddles. He says that their condition will not permit of their being moved, and feels certain that a journey to Pittsburg to-day would be sure death to Ed Riddle. Notwithstanding this, however, it IS the intention of the Pittsburg authori- ties to have them moved to Pittsburg at once, regardless of consequences. Superintendent of Police Delnmel has wired here to that effect and officers are now on their way to this place to bring back the prisoners at any cost. Doctors Greer and Brfcker, who have been attending the two Biddles, made q report this. morning that apparently confirms Jack Biddle's story that the fugitives had tried to kill themselves. Ed Riddle, who is generally supposed to be the worst injured, has several powder marks on his left breast In Jacks mouth are three bullet wounds which would be primafacie evidence that he wanted to rid the world of himself. One of the bullets, which eyi- dently came from a revolver, carried away a portion of his tonsil which the doctors say could only have happened by the holding of a revolver to his own mouth
 About 10:30 o'clock this morning
 Mrs Soffel took a bad turn and her
 condition is more serious She asked for her children and they vii. prob ably be sent for Edward Riddle is unconscious and breathing heavily. His death may occur at any moment John Riddle has recovered from the opiates administered and talks ill q

 now that while he may live several
 days his ultimate recovery is deemed 1 impossible.
 There is great excitement in the i town. A conflict between the Pitts burg and Butler authorities over inc
 possession of the prisoners and the
 right to the reward is confidently cx- ! pected. The Butler authorities assert
 that they will not give up the prison l CTS without q writ of habeas corpus. The Butler officers demand one-half of the $5,O00 reward offered for the capture of the criminals Warrants
 were sworn out for the Rydles for feloniously shooting and attempting to kill Mrs Sofell. There is no charge to hold the woman, but charges will be preferred against her for assault
 and battery and aiding and abetting criminals to escape
 At press hour the Riddles were be-
 lieved to be dying, and contrary to ex- pectations Jack is expected to die first | Inflammation of the bowels has set irl md as these organs were shot to pieces he cannot long survive. Ed Riddle is in conyulsions and sinking rapidly. Mrs .Soffel has developed

MISS ROOSEVELT MAY NOT Ge
The President and Family Annoyed by
 Many Rumors.

Washington, Feb 1.-Reports that Miss Alice Roosevelt is to be permitted to attend the coronation of King Ed ward in June next are annoying to the president and Mrs Roosevelt. No one in the White House will discuss the subject, but it is known that, while the family has talked over such visit, no decision has been reached.
 It is not denied that Miss Roosevelt is anxious to attend the cornation, but the president is averse to it. He feels that the knowledge that his daughter has accepted an invitation to attend the coronation would cast cloud over the visit of Prince Henry, and for that reason alone the President and his family do not desire to settle the mat ter at this time.
 All talk about Miss Roosevelt rank ing next to princesses of the blood were she to go to London are as fool ish as the report that she therefore would wear q robe or royal purple.
 Diplomats in Washington are greatly worried because the report is not de- nied. Its wide publicity and the col bring of sensational journals greatly enhances the importance of the event i'll their eyes. According to their train ing they cannot imagine that . rumor of this sort should so long go uncon- tradicted. One diplomat says:
 The American people may consider this matter simply in the light of n girlish whim which should be gratified. The British government, at this june ture. would move heaven and earth to secure it's realization. It's tendency would be to defeat some of the shrewd- est diplomacy of past years. The British press and diplomats would en- large it's social and international i'm portance''
