ROBBED AND BURNED.
Terrible Crime Committed by Tra mps
Near Girard, o. Cripple
Their Victim.

Warren, o.. Jan. 2s.-Michael Swee-
ney, cripple, employed as a tele-
graph operator in n switch tower
near Girard, was assaulted, robbed,
tied to chair and burned TO death
by tramps.
The attention Of a trains crew was
attracted by screams coming from
the tower, which they discovered in
flames. Frantic efforts were made
to gain an entrance, but when the
door was broken open the rescuers
were driven back by the fire, which
was burning fcrcely inside the tower
An engineer and fireman, who
caught u glimpse of the cripple's
body, attempted to rush into the
building, but were beaten back by
the flames and badly burned.
When the fire had been subdued
the men entered the tower, What re-
manned Of Swceney's body was found
in coils Of wire which had held him
captive to the chair.
sweeney received his pny on Sotur-
day, and robbery was undoubtedly
the motive for the crime. Tromps
had camp near by, and the police
believe they are responsible Tor
Swccneys death Circumstances go
TO show that they surprised Sweeney
in the tower.

AGAINST THE GAS USERS.
Chicago Coal Transfers Union Re-
fuses to Haul Coal to the
Summer Gas Users.
MANY BIG BUILDINGS ARE AFFECTED.
A RumOr Current that the Action OF
the Union is u Clever Move Insti-
gated by the Coal Trust Against
the Gas Trust-LniOn Admits II
Isn't Fighting Alone.

Chicago, Jan. 29.-The severe
weather which began moderating
Monday night, was again in evidence
Tuesday, and at daylight the temper
allure was four degrees below zero.
The cold wave in the extreme north
temperature ranging from zero to
four below. At 10 a. m. the tempera-
ture at Chicago was one below zero.
Predictions are that there will be
further moderations of the cold as
the day advances, and that there
will be no more zero weather with
this cold wave.
Coal transfers renewed their war
on big downtown buildings. The
Coal Transfers union decided that
its members should cart no coal to
buildings where gas is used during
the summer months.
At eight o'clock 100 drivers were
ordered to stop by officials of the
union, and promptly obeyed the or
der.
President Albert Young of the Coal
Transfers union said:
"We have already stopped hauling
coal to the Old Colony building, the
Monadnock, the Palmer house and
the Auditorium. Our men are being
called off other buildings as quickly
as we can get to them, and before
night not union teamster will be
hauling to buildings that use gas for
fuel during the summer.
During the last cold snap our men
were worked 10 death. Buildings that
had formerly used fuel gas found out
that coal was necessary, and our
men had to work night and day, and
at that were unable to meet the de-
mand. Many of the regular coal
burners were compelled to wait for
coal. and suffered greatly on account
Of our inability to supply the de-
mand."
Rumor had it that the refusal of
the Transfers union to haul coal to
buildings where gas is used was n
clever move Of the so-called Coal
trust against the Gas trust, 1t was
announced definitely that the coal
combine was behind the transfers
and had pledged its support. Milton
Booth, secretary of the Coal Team
sters' union, said: 1--WE are not in
thc fipht alone. but have the supbort
of the coal men. We would have con-
Quoted the campaign alone had it
been necessary, but with the aid OF
our employers we are in a much bet
ter position to conduct the fight, and
II will be lively one"

AN AUDACIOUS ROBBERY.
NApress Gar On southern Railroad Train
Robbed Near Branchville,
South Carolina.

BranchTlle, S. c., Jan. 2S.-A care
iuiiy planned and audacious express
robbery took place about seven
O'Clock last evening on the Southern
rallroad, when the passenger train
from Charleston reached nearly the
exact site of the successful robbery
OF TWO years ago, five miles from
Branchville. Seven or eight men
were riding on the platform between
the engine and baggage car CON
cealed by the darkness. None wore
masks. At the 5j-mile board two
men crawled over the tender and COW
cred the engineer. John Reynolds,
with Winchesters. They fired two
shots, one ball passing through Rey-
nold's cap. Fireman Cobb escaped
by jumping off. Conductor Black
VINO ran out, was covered and ordered
back. BY order of these men "a
brakeman uncoupled the express,
mail and baggage cars, which were
taken to the station. leaving the rest
OF the cars on the main line. Here
several shots were fired into the eX.
press car and one man climbed up
covered Express Messenger Hall with
Winchester and compelled him to
open the door. The men then entered
the ear and stripped the local safe.
After threatening Hall with instant
death if he did not open the through
safe, and finding he knew nothing of
the combination. the safe was rolled
out on the platform. Then the en-
gneer was ordered to return with
the three cars To the train, and he
obeyed, bringing the train without
further incident to Branchville,
Nothing was seen of the men or the
safe on passing IS. There was only
small amount Of booty in the local
safe, and no one here knows the con-
tents of the through safe. No mail
or baggage was touched and no pas
sengers We're molested. The robbers
took their pistols from the only en-
ployes who were armed and re-
sistance was ont Of the question.
No measures have been taken so far
to follow the robbers, The leader is
supposed 10 be Arton Warren. War
rem was arrested charged with hay-
ing, single-handed, robbed the South
ern Express car just below Branch
Vile in the fall of 1899. The case re-
suited in mistrial Bail was fur
nished. 4 few days before the next
session of the court, five months ago,
he killed Thomas Watson, his former
friend, but one Of the principal wit
ncsses against him.
Warren has been at large since, and
some say that he had been seen in
Branchville AT night several times
since, though $500 reward has been
offered for his capture.
