PEORIA. ILL. June 1L-The double
storm that struck Peoria at 10 o'clock
last night and again at o'clock this
morning, was the worst Central Illinois
has experienced since 1s43. Probably the
worst damage in proportion to the size
of the town was at Kingston Mines, a
small mining town twenty miles below
Peoria. There three persons We're killed
and ten We're injured. three fatally.
George Rearden. an employe OF the cleo

morning while repairing the storm dam
age at Glen Oak Park. He was caught
by a live wire and died instantly. George

burned while attempting to extricate
Rearden from the wire.
Shortly after II o'clock. a report reach
ed the police that the peopleiliving at Dry
Run were In danger OF drowning as they
had been caught by the food. Row boats
were hauled to the scene at once and the

field to-day than since the strike began.
No nonunion men have yet arrived, and
the increase Of men at work shows a, loss
for the miners. 1t is practically certain
that the operators will not agree to the
demands of the strikers, and there is
nothing now to be done but to go back
to work or tough it out. This is hard
to do when it is remembered that the
soft coal miners in the Fairmount,
Clarksburg, Clinch Valley, and Ohio
fields have taken no stock in the strikc
and are leaving the Flat Top miners to
fight it out alone, while the Foxy dig
gers in the competitive fields are load
ing the coal, drawing the money.
The Pocahontas Colieries Company had
a larger force at work to-day than the
day previous. The Browning mines
were ida On Crane Creek. there was
nothing doing, and q like situation OBJ
tanned at Goodwill, and Louisville.
On Simmons Creek, three collieries
there worked with small forces, and
loaded a small number of cars each.
At Mill Creek and Coaldale there were
no men at work.
MEETING THAT FAILED.
The failure of the Bramwell meeting
had the effect of cauaing a. number OF
the miners at the two operations to no
tify the company that they propose to
go to work, and it is confidently ex-
pected that both of these collieries will
be loading coal tomorrow.
At Maybury, the Elk Horn collery
was the only one not working.

Investigations of the steps showed that
there had been one there that night
The, State dwelt strongly on these points
for the purpose of shaking the story told
by Fodrea, after his arrest and to show
that he had premeditated the murder and
was therefore prepared in an endeavor
to prove an alihi, if suspected of the
crime.
The cross mination was vigorous and
tedious
The States most important witnesses,
Carrie Phillips, for whose. love Fodrea is
alleged to have killed Seay, her mother
and Myrtle Levi were placed on the
stand this aftrnoon.
Miss Phillips. testified that Fodrea told
her it would be better for her. to go with
him than for him to spend his life in
prison. Mrs. Phillips related her conver-
sation with Fodrea. when called at her
house, and, in the course Of a conversa-
ton. asked who the young man was that
was calling on Carrie and upon being
informed took out a note book and as he
wrote Seay.s name therein remarked:
"I'll attend to him later.
The sensation of the day came when the
Levi woman was placed on the stand.
She said that on the night Of the murder
two men called at her house near the mill
about midnight. One of them had shot
gun. When asked If Fodrea was one OF
the men, she promptly and positively 1den-
tilted him as being one Of the men,
Great excitement prevailed over this
strong bit of evidence. that is being woven
about the defendant and 1t is felt more
than ever that the States case is an e1-
tremely strong one.
