THE BARTHOuN MYSTERY.
The Chicago Police Think They Are
Nearing a Solution of the
Pulling Case.
THEY WILL SWEAT Ed COURSELMAN.
He Evidently Has Some Guilty
knowledge, But Thus Far Has
Refused to DivuIge What He
Knows, Notwithstanding the
PIeadings of His Wife to Do So.

Chicago, Aug. 1S.-Developments in
the Bartholin- Mitchell murder mys-
terry have led the police to believe
they are nearer the solution of the
problem that has been puzzling them
for over a week than ever before.
Edward Counselman, the intimate
friend of William J. Bartholin, who
was held for possible knowledge of
the crimes, was taken before Justice
Quinn, Monday, and held for ten days
in bonds of $4,000, charged with be
ing accessory after the fact in the
murders of Minnie Mitchell and Mrs.
Anne Bartholin. Counselman admit
ted he had met Bartholin, and that
Bartholin said he was in trouble over
Minnie Mitchell. The most damaging
testimony as to Counselman's pos
sible guilty knowledge of the MUIR
new witness whom the police found
Monday. VIM. allen, fellow
workman of Counselman's. AL
len said that Counselman had
told him repeatedly that he knew
a great deal about the trouble Bar
tholin was in. When Allen suggested
that Counselman tell the police what
he knew, the latter said he would do
no such thing; that Bartholin was his
friend, and that he was too shrewd
for the police. Allen said that Coun-
selman even expressed the opinion
that Bartholin had esily had time to
reach the seabOard. Allen said that
COunselman expressed the greatest
anxiety over the SAGE, as it developed
in the newspapers, and that frequently
Counselman would walk from the
suburb of Tarvey, where the two men
worked. as far as Kensington, to Sc
cure the papers. For three days Coun-
selman did not do any work because
of nervousness.
The police have the testimony of
another witness, who is positive he
saw Counselman and Bartholin to-
gether on August THE day the body
of Minnie Mitchell was found.
1t is the purpose of the police to
put Counselman through the sweat
ing ordeal, and they expect valGable
results. Counselman's wife begged
his repeatedly to tell the police all he
knew, but so far Counselman has
been obdurate. \ note from Bar
tholin 70 Counselman asking for
money, and saying that the writer
was i'll trouble, is held by the police.
1t was this note which Counselman
had tried to secure from his wife by
choking her that led to his arrest.
The postponed inquest of the body of
Minnie Mitchell has been resumed. 1t
is probable that a verdict will be re-
turned with recommendations that
the men in custody he held to the
grand Jury

Counter Proposition.

The coal operators of United
Mine Workers District No. 10 have
made a counter proposition to the
miners demands. The operators
agree to an increase of 1 cent on the
run-of-mines, making the scale so
instead of 40 cents. 1t is argued
that this is a mean of the Birming-
ham district scale, which pays from
10 to So cents for run-of-mines, and
the operators think SO cents is an
equitable settlement, as they claim
the Birmingham district is a COM
petitor to them. It is intimated that
the miners demand for horizontal
increase of 10 per cent, will now be
set aside if other provisions sought,
two pay days per month and an
eight-hour day, meet favorable dis
position.

Rifle, Col, Aug. 1S.-W. E. Tribble
is the hero of a desperate hand-to-

Output OF State Mines.

Prison Commissioner Murray re-
ports the mines at Brushy Mountain
IN splendid shape. There is consid-
cradle fux among the prisoners, but
it is not of a serious nature, and
general health is good. Though
three days were lost in July, the coal
output was 25,1O1.35 tons, of which
14,993.35 tons were shipped, the
balance producing 1854 tons of
coke. The coke produced $31, 164.37.
The actual collections on old bust
ness amounted to $22,949.72. The
expenses of running the mines
amounted to only about $4,000, of
which betterments amount to ST.

Constantinople, Aug. 1S.-The non
execution by the Turkish government
of agreements, reached long ago, on
several questions affecting the inter

somewhat strained relations between
the United States legation and the
porte. The United States minister,
John G. A. Leishman, has informed
the latter that he will not discuss
other matters until the terms of the
settlements already agreed upon are
carried on. Diplomatic circles antici-
pate further undue delay, and that
this may possibly lead to a sharp
reminder from the United States.

l resnant sovereign has, however been
 altered and broken up times without 1 number Manufactured afresh for
 Charles IT., it was slightly altered for
 James H., taken to pieces for Queen Anne altered yet again for George l., i Geofge H., and George III, till finally, at George TVS coronation an entirely new crown was made (though the old 1 jewels were utllized). The value of this beautiful crown is said to have been es- tlmated at one hundred and fifty thou sand pounds while it weighed five and a half pounds. When Queen Victoria ascended the throne her uncles crown was found to be far too large. Accord ingly, a new state crown was manufac- tured, which may be viewed in the Tower, composed partly of the old gems and partly of others furnished by com- mand of her Majesty. Probably 1t is without exception the most splendid
 and elegant crown eyer worn by an
 English sovereign. A minute descrip
 tion of it's beauties would doubtless
 weary our readers. It will suffice to
 say, therefore, that it consists of
 richly jeweled band, from which rises
 alternate Maltese crosses and fleurs-
 de-lys. The upper portion Of the
 crown is composed of four imperial
 arches, suspended from which are four
 pear-shaped pearls with rose diamond
 cups, At the top of all stands great
 mound with cross having rose-cut sapphire for it's center surmounting 1t.
 Altogether it contains 277 pearls, 2,7S5 diamonds, five rubies, seventeen sap phires and eleven emeralds. Among
 them are found a sapphire taken from the famous ring of the Confessor (sup- posed to give it's owner the power of blessing crampings), and recut for Charles II. in the form of rose; sap phire bequeathed to George III. by Car dinal York, the last descendant of James IT.; and, above all, the fair ruby, great like a rocket ball" given to the Black Prince after the battle of Najara by Pedro the Cruel, King of Castle, and worn on the helmet of Henry V. at Agincourt.--St. James Ga Zette.
