Stones Proposition.
fRv. Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA. Pa, September TO-
The North American this morning says
that j. Pierpont Morgan has assented to
a plan proposed by Governor Stone. of
Pennsylvania for ending the coal miners
strike. The plan, according to the North
Al e.ican, was submitted to Mr.. Morgan
Yesterday by P. a. B. Widener, of this
city. The plan in brief is for the mine
workers to return to work without
signed agreement; that the operators, by
concessions, adjust the differences exist
ing between the men and the companies;
that if. after waiting a reasonable time,
the operators fail to do this, an arbitra-
tor be appointed. and that if the men
deem the decision of the arbitrator as
unjust. then the men can again go on
strike.
The paper also says that Governor Stone
Immediately telegraphed President Mitch

Especial Dispatch to The Timcs.)
BOYDTON, VA, Sept. 9.-Mrs. Betsy
Smith and Mr.. James Madison Hudson,
all of Mecklenburg, We're married at the
home of the bride some two miles north
east of this place. on Sunday, Septem-
Der 18th, at O'Clock P. NJ. The Rev. II. T.
Williams, pastor of the Baptist Church
of this place ofticiated. Mrs. Smith was
a widow. and had lived alone twenty-five
years. She was born in May. 1919. She is
{; person OF great energy and determine
ton, and appears totally fearless; and al
though she is in her eighty-third year,
she is active and strong, doing her own
cooking and washing in her home in the
lonely forest, living almost the life OF a
hermit.
THE BRIDE.
She is kind and friendly with her
neighbors. and is woman OF fine prac
teal sense and great talker. A pathetic
incident was told me by the merchant of
whom she purchased her wedding gown.
She remarked, in making a selection for
her dress. that she wanted q dress that
would supply two-foId service-one that
would serve her for her wedding dress
and then suitable for her Shroud
She selected white for the occasion. Mrs.
Smith, now Mrs. Hudson, was a Miss
N1allett. Her first husband was Thomas
Devices, a sailor, who had spent a great
deal of his life on the seas. After his
death she married Mr.. Buck Smith. a
farmer With both of these husbands
she appears to have lived happily and
Contented.
THE GROOM.
The groom is the Junior of the couple
by five days. He has been man of iron
constitution; was born and raised about
six miles from this place. He is now
strong and very active for a man of his
great age. He is exceedingly kind and
polite and is faithful employee in to-
bacco prizery in this place. One of his
employers told me Il few days since that
he would not be afraid to trust him with
a thousand dollars. He, too. has been
twice married His first wife was a Miss
Marrable, of Lunenburg. His second wife
was a Miss VIM. by whom he had three
sons-and two daughters, all of whom are
now living.
MARRIED IN THE YARD.
The marriage took place in the yard,
the house being too small to accommo-
date the large crowd which had come to
see Miss Betsy as she is famiiarly
called married. At four o'clock the bride.
leaning on the arm Of the groom, came
from the dwelling into the yard, tha
crowd forming circle around them.
Rev. NJ. Williams then advanced to the
front of them and. in a solemn manner,
pronounced the words that made them
man and wife. After hearty congratua-
tons. the groom, with great gallantry.
assisted his newly married wife back to
her home. and the scene closed.
The bridal presents were for the most
part useful and substantial. one being
a barrel of -four.

''It has been stated said Motorman

This statement on the part of the mo-
torInan was received With great applause
ard was followed with a statement from
President Simmons in which he said it
was not the Selph matter much as it
was the fact that the company had re-
fused to recognize the specially appointed
committee as humans. 1t will be recalled
that both General Manager Huff and SUI
periatendent Flanagan refused to meet
tho committee.
It may be truthfully stated that the
action of the committee last night was
due to the speeches and advice of Presi-
dent Simmons and Motorman Griggs,
both of whom seemed to be heartily in
favor of standing by Selph in the matter.
That strike was not declared last
night is due to the conservatism of GER
tain members who argued in favor of
first appointing a grievance committee to
talk the entire matter over with the COM
pany officials. Otherwise il is more than
probable than Il committee would have
waited upon General Manager Huff at
his residence in Barton Heights last
night
When the statement of Motorman
Griggs. who is chairman of the grievance
committee, is taken into consideration, it
would seem that strike is almost in
evitable. as he seems in favor of back

vative members and they argued the
necessity of arbitrating the trouble and
it may be that the grievance committee
will endeavor to get the car company to

He was composed and expressed his
Willingness to die. He was prayed with

out into the enclosure erected IN front
of the jail and was executed in the pres
ence of about seventy-tive people, includ-
ing newspaper reporters and physicians.
He was composed to the last and ad-
mitted his guilt on the scaffold.
His only sign of weakness was a slight
trmebllng of the knees as the Rev Cum
Minis (colored) of Alexandria. recited a
Psalm. Yea. though L walk, etc. to
him.
At 11:25lt \. NJ. the trap was sprung
by Sheriff Tyler, and LOmax shot down
for nearly five feet. He was allowed to
hang eighteen minutes. After he was pro-
nounced dead by the physicians he was
taken down and the body handed over to
his friend and relative, Rev. Roy. and was
taken to New Richmond for intermenr.
He died from stranguIation and showed
no signs of suffering, except slight mus
cular contractlons.
The crowd. which was smaller than was
expected owing to the inclement weather,
was unusually orderly, and the precau-
