 posed to Dady.
 ALBANY, March S.-Governor Odell has removed Charles s. Guden as sher- I if of Kings county and has appointed Norman s. Dike of Brooklyn to fill the vacancy.

He was expected to retain no man who was not able to aid him in conducting the affairs of his office in a businesslike manner"
 The governor further said that MT. Dike was acceptable to Lieutenant Governor Woodruff and also 10 what is known as the independent Republicans of Kings county.
 The appointment of Mir. Dike will hold until Jan. 1, 1903, the law requir- ing that his successor shall be elected at the next general election.

CANS RESTS M'FARTLAND.
Knocked His Man Out
 in Five Rounds.


 Buffalo. N. Y., Oct. l3.-Joe Cans. the lightweight champion had no trouble Tn disposing of Kid Mcfarland before the International Club at Fort Erie. Ontario tonight, knocking the New Yorker out after two minutes and twenty-five seconds of fighting in the fifth round. The blow that did the business was left hand hook to the pit of the stomach, the same blow with which Mcfarland has won many fights. Mcfarland writhed on the floor while Charlie White counted the ten seconds, but a few seconds later he was fully recovered.
 Cans did not extend himself at any stage, although at times he snowed flashes of his speed when the men came to close quarters. He made McPartiand do the fighting, contenting himself with blocking and looking for a chance to land one decisive punch. He dropped Mc- Partland with a straight right to the Jaw in the third round, but the Kid stayed through Mcfarland did not land more than eight solid blows during the entire time of the bout, Cans smothering most of his leads before they were tairly started. Mcfarland virtually fought himself out In the four full rounds fought
 NcPartland was not in the best or con- dition, Cans was in magnificent shape Both weighed under l35 pounds. Charhe White was referee.
 The betting was to and to l on Cans and even money that McPartiana would not last eight rounds. The atteho- ance was about 2,000.

MORGAN AND BAER TALKED.
Coal President in Conference With
 Financier.

New York, Oct 13.-It was learned early today that President Baer Of the Philadelphia and heading Company was called to New York Sunday and that he spent the day in close conference. probably with J. P. Morgan, over the anthracite coal miners strike. What the outcome of the supposed conference will be is a matter of complete guesswork.
 The greater mystery was thrown around the movements of President Baer. He left his home in Reading, Pa, on a special train at o'clock Sunday corning and arrived in Jersey City at 10:30 o'clock From that moment until he stepped from a ferryboat at II o'clock in the evening absolutely nothing certain is known of his movements. At 11:15 o'clock he board CT train for Reading by way of Phila- delphia, and is said to have stated that he did not expect to be in New York again today.
 The Herald publishes the following:
 J. P. Morgan's yacht Corsair lay at anchorage in the North River. of Thirty fifth Street. all day Sunday. Mir. Morgan was aboard.
 Three men were said to be in conference with him from early in the afternoon until after 10 o'clock at night. About 9 o'clock a launch was sent to the Erie ferry. bearing a servant with baggage check. and he returned to the Corsair a little later with a satchel
 At a quarter past 10 two men came ashore and entered a cab that had been waiting for them more than an hour They hurried into the cab without even giving any directions and the driver started up. About a block away he lean ed over to find out where his passengers wanted to go.

FELL FROM AN AIRSHIP
COUNT DE BRADSKY AND EN-
 GINEER KILLED.
Car Became Detached from Balloon
 and Fell Two Hundred Yards. Spectators Terrorized at the Scene.

Paris. Oct. 12--Count de T3radsky, the aeronaut, and a companion, were killed today by falling from a dirigible balloon.
 A number of aeronaut friends of De Bradsky and the latters wife were pres- ent at the start. His wife though anxious that her husband should demonstrate the success of his invention, witnessed his departure with considerable emotion.
 De Bradsky first tried the ascensionai screw situated below the car and the air. ship. held by ropes. rose slowly and easi- ly and maintained its equilibrium. A whistle was blown, releasing the ropes and the propelIing screw behind was set in the proper direction, when suddenly a southwest wind sprang up and the. air ship swerved to the northwest instead of to the northeast. Crossing the main boulevards the aerial craft executed a number of evolutions. but continued northward with the wind. eventually dis appearing over the great white basilica of the Church of the Sacred Heart and the top of the hill of Mount Martre.
 When two hours later the balloon was perceived at an Immense height the anx- iety of the watchers was much increased, as it was known tho airship was never intended to rise to such point. It was. however. merely the inflated envelope WHICH QEAltcu UaCA dCIObS EdbASs dALCT tAlc accident had relieved it of the weight of the car A few minutes later a telegram arrived with the news of tho disaster.
 An eyewitness gave the following &C., count of the accident:
 T was standing on the steps of the building when I heard voice calling. looked up and saw an airship a hundred yards in the air. M. Morin was leaning out of the car and asked through meg aphone where was suitable spot to descend. indicated place in the neigh borhood and the airship proceeded fin the direction had indicated. A few seconds later I saw the balloon turn sharply and at the same moment heard a noise like the tearing of cloth. The piano wires at- taching the front Hf the car to the ball loon had broken. Other wires followed suit the car became detached and 1t fell to the ground two hundred yards distant The balloon itself bounded up in the air and disappeared. I hurried to the spot and found De Bradsky dead and terribly bruised. M. Morin was lying under the remainder of the car. He lived but a few moments"
 De Bradsky was a Hungarian baron S6 years of age, rich and clever, and had been in the diplomatic service He made his first ascension in 1901. Morin was his engineer. He leaves widow ard three children.
 La Chambre, the constructor of the air ship says he had no confidence in the part of the airship but says the balloon had perfect stability and con stituted real progress, inasmuch as there was no pitching or sudden shocks. The defects were that the car was too light and that the motor and guiding screws were too weak.

court held that the joint ticket agency could not be considered in that light as the agency had nothing to do with the fixing of rates, further the defendants had showed that they were violating the law and could not press as a defense the violation of the law by another party.
 The brokers. however. gained another days delay by the fact that none of the bonds presented by the railroad com panies were executed properly when ef- fered this afternoon and the brokers claim that the delay thus caused will permit them to sell off the tickets unsold-

BELIEVE THAT WAGES
 ARE FAIR AND FULL.

"The coal companies believe that the wages paid in the coal regions are fair and full, and all that the business in it's normal condition has been able to stand if the capital invested Is to have any reasonable return. The profits have been small, several of the companies have be- come bankrupt and been reorganized sev- eral times. Several have never paid divi- dends and the dividends of others have been a small return tor the capital in vested. It Is not, however the purpose of this statement to discuss this ques- ton.
 The undersigned are not and never have been unwilling to submit all ques- tions between them Lnd their workmen to ay fair tribunal for decision. They are not willing to enter into arbitration with the Mine Workers Union, an or ganization chiefly composed of men in a rival and competitive interest and they are not willing to make any arrangement which will not secure to the men now working and all now or hereafter wishing to work whether they belong to the Mine Workers Union or not. the right and op- portunity to work in safety and without personal insult or bodily harm to them selves or their families For these reasons the arbitrations heretofore proposed have been declined.
 It will be remembered at the conference in Washington, October 8, we made the following offer: That we would take up at each colliery any alleged grievancec and in the event of a failure to make satisfactory adjustment the questions at issue to be submitted to the final decision of the judges of the court of common pleas of the district in which the colliery is located This offer was made by us m good faith and we desire here to re- affirm 1t.
 ..The coal companies realize that the urgent public need of coal and the appre- honsion of an inadequate supply for the .,pproaching winter, calls for an earnest cfrort to reach a practical conclusion which will result in an increased supply and the presidents of companies desire to make every effort to that end which docs not involve the abandonment of the interests committed to their care and of tbe men who are working and seeking to work in their mines. This responsibility tbey must benr and meet as best they can. -,.,..

The credit for the settlement is largely due to w. s. Parkerson, who took up the cause of the strikers and labored in- defatigably, convincing them that they could hope for nothing better and that they could not prevail against the militia massed here.
 United States Senator Foster, Governor Heard and Mayor Capdeveille were all instrumental in some degree in bringing about the final result.
