declared her dislike for Scranton and
endeavored to persuade her husband
to leave here, declaring that she

ried life she left him and went to Buff
falo, never to return again.

Adon Cramer, who seeks a separa-
ton from his wife, Elizabeth c. Cra-
mer, is "a years older than she. They
were married on Sept. 30, 1855, in Hol-
listerville, Wayne county, where they

keeping boarding house in Bingham

He claims that about six or seven
years ago she left him and went to
Cortland, N. Y, taking with her their
two children, both of whom have
since been secured by the father.
Shakespeare Cramer, the oldest of the
children, testified that his mother was
met at the Cortland station by man
named Sampson, and that they all
went to live at his house. He and the
other child were told that their name
was to be Sampson and they were sent
to school under that name.

Conference on the Coal Strike in
New York Adjourns Without
Taking Any Action.
Operators Declare the Difference Be-
tween Them and Employees
in Matter of Business.
Threat Made That Legislation Obnox
ious to the Coal Companies
May be Passed.

New York, Oct. 11.-Efforts to set
tie the anthracite coal strike by con-
ference between leading politicians
and the coal operators in this city
have so far proved in vain. Senators
Platt, Quay and Penrose and Cover
nor Odell of New York again met the
representatives of the coal interests
in a lengthy conference, which ad-
journed during the afternoon, leaving
the situation practically unchanged.
The four politicians we're closeted
in Senator Platt's room from 10
o'clock until 1890, when Chairman
Thomas of the Erie road and Presi-
dent Baer of the Reading joined them
to receive any proposition which they
had to offer as the result of their ses-
sion. They remained but little
while, when the conference dispersed
and Chairman Thomas, speaking for
| the operators, gave out the following
statement:
1T was impracticable to reach any
conclusion of the strike situation on
the basis suggested
The exact nature of the proposals
| made to the operators is not known.
Whatever they were they were reject
ed, and there is no indication that any
definite step has been made toward a
settlement of the strike. It is under
stood that another conference will be
held on Tuesday next.

coNFERs WITH WRIGHT.
President Discusses Strike Situation
With Commissioner.

Washington, Oct. II. President
Roosevelt had consultation with
Commissioner of Labor Wright dur
ing the day. The president spoke of
the great seriousness of the situation,
but gave no intimation of any further
steps looking to settlement which
he had in mind. He again inquired
about the arbitration act of 1898,
which he had before discussed with
Mr.. Wright to satisfy himself that it
applied only to common carriers and
not to industrial corporations. After
Mr.. Wright had explained the law
the president appeared convinced that
there was no chance for interference
through this instrumentality. There is
an intimation that the president will
appoint commission in line with his
suggestion to Mr.. Mitchell if a settle
ment fails, with view to thorough
investigation of the whole subject of
the strike and for the purpose of Sc
curing data upon which to base rec
omendations to congress, but this can
not be verified and it is said was not

year-old boy of Homestead, Pa, killed

tried to kill his two older brothers,
but was detected, overpowered and
turned over to the police
The weapon used was an axe, with
which he crushed and hacked his vic

are: Mrs. Hannah Cawley, aged
about forty years, head and upper por-
tion of her body almost pounded to

frightfully crushed. The injured are:
Josephine, aged fifteen months, will
not live; Adeline, aged six, will not

Adeline, will not live; Agnes, aged
ten, will not live.
The CawleYs live in neat six-roonl
house on Second avenue, Homestead
All the members retired about 10

cupied one bed, while the others, Jo-
sephine, Adeline, Raymond and Agnes
| occupied other beds and cribs in the
same room, which is on the second
floor rear. Charles, the murderer, his
brother James, aged twenty, and Har-
ry, aged fourteen, occupied the front
room, second floo:, adjoining their
mothers room.
Details of the Awful Deed.
Some time about a. m. Charles
quietly arose and, dressing himself,
but not putting on his shoes, crept
down to the cellar and secured an axe.
Coming upstairs he went into his
mothers room, where the victims
were all sleeping. After turning up
the light the maniac approached his
mothers bedside, swung the axe high
in the air, and brought it down with
such force that the skull was crushed
The mother evidently never knew

head almost to jelly.
Belle, the oldest daughter. silent
throughout the time. Charles hurried
to her side of the bed and struck her
with the axe. It is thought that the
first blow slipped and awoke the girl,
but only for a second. She did not
! have time to scream, for the next
blow killed her.
The fiend then turned to the small
er children, and struck each over the
head with the bloody weapon
Believing that he had dispatched
them all he started for his brothers
room, but James, the eldest, had been
awakened by the groans in his moth
er's room and as Charles entered he
seized heavy rocking chair and, aft
er fierce struggle, overpowered and
turned him over to the police On
the way to the station he fought fero-
ciously, but after being placed in
cell he calmed down and did not seem
to realize what he had done
When physicians reached the house
Mrs. Cawley and Belle were dead.
The others were still living but the
doctors announced that they would
not live through the day.
