 Dead Man, Was Prominent Kentuckian.

hall to the door of his parents room. The door was partially open, but not so that he could aim at the burglars, whose voices indicated that they were directly behind the panel. Chinn attempted to nre through the panel but his bullet was defected. This caused one of the men who had his revolver pressed against the elder Chinn's breast to discharge it through his heart.
 The two men made a break to escape, but encountered young Chinn in the hall, screams and the voices of the burglars he dark. The elder Chinn, in the meantime. although fatally wounded, made his way to the hall, thinking to aid his son. One bullet gazed the tip of his nose and ploughed through the cheek. Another in- nieted a wound in the neck and shatter- ed the left jaw, while a third struck him in the left arm, causing him to drop the rife which he had in that hand.
 A. B. Chinn. the murdered man. was a deacon in the Central Christian church. He was 6S years old.
 Charles Thompson, alias Bruce Whit ney, and Claude O. 'Brien, alias Martin, are held on the charge of numbering Merchant Chnn and seriously wounding his son. The two men were found in a box car at o'clock this morning. Thompson limped badly, and a pistol wound was found in his leg. The wound was pronounced to be not over twelve hours old He claims to have been shot by a negro last Wednesday. The men tell conflicting stories. Thompson comes from Nashville and O'Brien from Memphis Both are about 20 years old. Thompson has lately been in a reform school at Nashville.

TRAIN ROBBERS
 USE EXPLOSIVES
HOLD UP EXPRESS TRAIN, BLOW OPEN SAFE AND GET OFF WITH $15oo-ALL OFFICERS ARE ON A LOOKOUT.

Lincoln, Neb., October 1.-The Pacific Coast express. on the Chicago. Burlins- ton and Quincy road. was held up by three masked men. early today four miles west of Lincoln. The robbers used ex- plcsive cn the express car. shattering it badly and after wreclxing the safe, rifed 1t of its contents. securing an amount thought to be about $1500
 The train, which was a few minutes late this morning. had reached the crest of q hill midway between the city and the town of Woodlawn, when the engineer saw a red light waved across the track and brought the train to a standsIill Two men srrang quickly into the cab, cover ing Engineer Clayburg and his fireman with revolvers. The express car was cut from the balance of the train and rur ahead short distance.
 The men found the door locked ana after commanding Messenger William Lupton to open 1t. and getting no re- sponse. fired two or three shots into the car. The door was then opened. A heavy charge of dynamite on the sare literally tore 1t to pieces. F ourteeE packages, said to contsin a hundred dollars each were taken together with ether valuables The two men who were in the car politely bade the trainmen good morning Jumped from the car and disappeared in the dark ness. The passengers were nor mo1ested, nor were the trainmen asked for their be- longings.
 While the robbery in the express car was going on, q third robbcf walked along side the track by the passenger coaches. firing his revolver occasionally to keep iDquisitive passengers back.
 Brakeman Moore. who alighted from the rear coach to go ahead. found pis- tol pushed in his face with a warning to go back where he belonged. He ran the four miles to tho Lircorn yards and vas the first to give the alarm. A posse composed of Chief of Police IIoagland Detective Malone and his two bloodhounds and three police officers, immediately set out in pursuit. At the scene of the hold up the hounds took the scent and the trail of the robbers was actively begun.
 Every town and village marshal, and every county sheriff in southeastern Ne braska. have been notified of the rob- bery and told to be on the watch. The Adams Express company says It's loss Is not large.

FEDERATION OF LABOR
 APPEALS TO COUNTRY

Washington, October 1.-The American Federation of Labor, through it's execu- tive council, today issued an address to the public appealing for financial and moral aid for the striking anthracite miners and denouncing the attitude of the mine owners upon whom, the appeal says, must rest the responsibility for the hard ship resulting from the coal famine.
 NO offer to settle the strike" says the address, "could be fairer than that made by the miners representatives at the conference with President Roosevelt. The operators naughty arrogance. brutal, dominating spirit, blasphemous assump- tion of divine wealth-proprietorsh shocked the civilized world and aroused the honest indignation of all lovers of justice and fair dealing"
 The appeal then urges tAa eonfrihu- tions be prompt and generous, and sug- gests that:

CORRELLI WANTED
 NAME IN PAPER
EDITOR SAYS HE LEFT IT OUT PURPOSELY ON ACCOUNT OF HER VIEWS AND REMARKS ABOUT NoToRIETY.

London, October u.-A curious quarrel has arisen between Marie Correlli, the author, and the editor of the Gentle woman. The latter publishes letter marked Private and Confidential" in which Miss Correlli complains that her name was omitted from the list invited to the royal enclosure at the Braener High land gathering. As the name of Lady Byron was mentioned and as her ladyship was merely Miss Correllis guest the author says:
 q can only conclude that my name was purposely omitted" She requests an ex- plantation, and says the omission caused the greatest surprise and offense to many persons, including Lady Byron. The edi- tor of the Gentlewoman replies by saying that Miss Correlli was quite correct in supposing that her name was purposely omitted, and that 1t was in accordance with instructions long since given by the editor ''in deference to Miss Correlli's ex- pressed opinion of newspaper puffs." In all her books Miss Correlli gloried in an opportunity of expressing contempt for the press, and particularly for those "snobs." Miss Correllfs favorite word, who seek newspaper notoriety. Now he realizes that Miss Correli has been mis- understood and that 1t would really have gratified her to have been named as present in the royal enclosure. He can only explain some little excuse for the mistake because of the apparent sheer ity of Miss Correllfs letters and writings on the subject of "snobs" and newspa- pers, and explains that logical consistent cy compels him to believe that Miss Correlli. in making her letter private and confidential only meant a request for publicity.

ExINGToN. KY october n.-A.

EAiNGTONt KY, October LA.
 B. chinn of the firm of Chinn G ~ Todd, dry goods merchants in this city, one of the most prominent busi- ness men and Confederate soldiers in Kentucky, was shot to death oy two masked burglars at S:90 o'clock this morn. ing in his bedroom, at his home at the south end of the city. His son. Asa, who heard the noise, rushed to his fathers rescue, and opened fire on the burglars through a closed door with a rifle The burglars returned the fire and Asa was perhaps mortally wounded. Citizens and police are searching for the murderers, but no clue is yet found.
 The battle in the hall was terrific one. So close were the burglars to Asa chinn that there were powder burns on his face, and he is lucky to have escaped with his life. His room Is directly in front of that of his parents, and he had scarcely gone to sleep when his mother s screams aroused him. The two burglars stood at the bedside of MT. and Mrs Chinn, and striking a match. covered them with their revolvers. demanding money. It was by the light of this match that Mrs. Chinn saw their green masks. Her impressions of the personal appear anee of the men are very hay.
 When young Chinn heard his mothers screams and voices of the burglars. he jumped from his bed and grasping a pistol and an old rifle went through the

GENERAL NORD
 IN FULL RETREAT
PROVISIONAL MINISTER OF WAR IN HAITI HAS BEEN BADLY DE- FEATED-LEAvES MANY DEAD AND INJURED BEHIND.

Cape Haytien, Hayti October H., General Nord, war minister of the pro- visional government has been defeated and Is in retreat.
 The provisional government of Hayti announced from Port Au Prince on Thursday that General Nord had again occupied the town of Limbe.
 The facts in the case are that the gen. eral on Wednesday attacked the Artibon- ite armory at Limbe and at Port Mar got and succeeded in entering Limbe and burning Port Margot. He was afterward defeated, however, and caused to re- treat in disorder, leaving behind him many dead and wounded and two rapid fire guns. The Artibonite forces also captured a number of prisoners. General Salnave, commander of the Artibonite armory continued his advance on the troops of General Nord who is believed to be short of ammunition, which may compel him to abandon his base of oper- ations.

CHURCH TROUBLE SETTLED.
Cumberland Church and Nashville
 Theological School Agree.

Nashville, Tenn, October 1.-The Cum berland Presbyterian Church Theological seminary control controversy has just been amicably settled by unanimous agreement between the board of trustees of Cumberland university at Lebanon. Tenn, and committee appointed for the purpose by the last general assembly,
 By this statement the seminary will continue under control of the board of trustees of Cumberland university, but all the church's rights, under the charac- ters of 1s43. 1850. 1852 and 1858, are re- tained without prejudice to either party and without now construing these char ters at all. The present charter is to be changed to provide for limiting to five years the term of office of each of the nine trustees, the assembly being em- powered to reject nominations for both trusteeships and professorships and to demand the removal for cause of any objectionable professor the trustees be- ing compelled to heed this demand with in one year.

their complete indifference to the law of the land.
 Tn 1894 receivers of a railroad were brought into court on claim that labor CTS ought not to be discharged because of membership of labor unions. Though the court was a federal court 1t sat in Pennsylvania and the petitioners got nothing from that court.
 But what followed? In a year or two Pennsylvania made 1t a criminal offense to deprive man of work because he be- longed to labor union. In 1898 congress not only did the same thing but in statute providing for the arbitration of labor disputes expressly made labor or ganizations parties to such arbitration. This was in addition to the previous leg islation by congress encouraging and providing for the incorporation of labor unions In ignoring them therefore, the coal operators simply ignore and condemn the law of the land.
 ''In the course of the political cam paign now going on, republican orators are sure to wax eloquent in depreciating change. To all such oratory, while there are many good answers, there Is one that is conclusive.
 Law, supreme and equal for all men is to the American people what the Ark of the Covenant was to the Jews of old While. they have it, we need no fear for safety-when we loose it. we are far ad- vanced on the high road to ruin. Hence if we would not enter upon that road change and the displacement of repub- icanism cannot come too soon or too de- cisfvp1y"

Shipment of Coal Is Still Going On In Small Way, But Companies Keep the Amount Sent
 Out a Secret.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, October n.-Another week of the Mine Workers strike closed today without any incident worthy of note. It was extremely quiet throughout this valely and the troops had little work to do Some of the coal companies su- perintendents assert they have made a slight gain in the number of men em- ployed since last week, but also admit there have been a few assertions The shipment of coal Is still going on in a small way. How much cannot be learn ed as the company officials keep this a secret.
 The small stockade built on the camp grounds of the Ninth regiment was com pleted today. It is the purpose of the military officers to hold without bail all persons who are arrested by the soldiers until such time as the authorities feel justified in releasing them providing they have committed no serious crime The decision of the military officers not to turn prisoners over to the civil authori- ties has stirred up hornets nest among the strikers.

It the national government on the ground that there are not enough state militia men to properly patrol the coal fields. Ma tional guard officers say the state troops are able to cope with any situation that may arise.
