Morris Wink Set Upon and Beat as He
Was Returning from Work-Warants
for Two Men-Other Notes.

Norris Wink, of '2O7 Fifth street, APP
peared before Alderman Noone, yester-
day afternoon, and swore out war
rant for the arrest of Stephen Feranitz
and Andrew Kettcheszam, on the charge
of assault and battery. Constable
Jacobs succeeded in placing FeranitZ
under arrest, but the other fellow he
was unable to locate.
Fcranitz was given a hearing, at
which several witnesses testified that
while Wink was coming home from
work Monday evening the defendants
ct upon him at the corner of Ninth
and Luzerne streets and badly beat
him. The assault, they claim, was
without provocation,but it appears that
the three men lived in the same town
before coming to America, and While
there they had some kind of fuss,
which this fight was supposed to be the
settlement of. Feranitz was held under
$500 bail

ASToR AND THE MECHANIC.
One Millionaire Who Is Worth

Henry Harrison Lewis, in Worlds Work
One day not long ago a. marine engi-
neer received a polite letter asking him
to call at the Office of the Astor estate.
Mr. John Jacob Astor wished to con-
suit him.
"Pll have to go all dressed up" he
said to his wife.
II should think So" was her decisive
reply Put on your best things or
you'll look out of place."
The mechanic, painfully arrayed in
unaccustomed starch, arrived at the
Office, which he found to be an unpre-
tentious two-story double brick build
ing on side street leading from
Broadway. The only indication of pos
sible wealth We're a number of massive
iron bars guarding the front windows,
similar to those sometimes found in
front of banks or deposit vaults, on
the inside were glass partitions, and
counters with little barred win
dows. and several serious-faced clerks
poring over account books. One of
these asked his name and conducted
him up a short flight of stairs.

saw dingy, uninteresting interior
with a commonplace safe. At the head
of the stairs was a small room with
several doors leading into various 9TH
er rooms. Into one of these he was
| ushered. The only occupant was a tall
man with an erect military bearing.
The apartment was plainly furnished
with rOll-top desk. several book
cases, a centre table. and three or four
plainly framed pictures. A red carpet
covered the floor. The only outside
light came from two windows opening
into a very narrow court. Out in this
court nothing could be seen but blank,
white wall. OF the busy street only a
few yards away there was no sign.
Even the din of traffic from Broadway
was faint.
The tall man was bending over a
blueprint spread out upon the table.
He glanced up as the clerk said:
''Mr. Astor, this is Mr. So and SO.
He has an appointment with you, 1 be-
lieve."
Mr.. Astor wished to see him about
the details of an invention he was per-
fecting. The blue-prints revealed a
comprehensive plan for a new marine
steam turbine which Mr.. Astor had
made. The engineer listened carefully,
but he scarcely could conceal his
amazement at the thorough knowledge
of marine mechanics exhibited by Mr..
Astor He was quick to realize that
the new turbine promised to be a rad
ical improvement over the one in COM
mon use. When he went home that
afternoon his wife awaited the descrip-
ton of his call.
'Tell me about it," she said. What
did he look like" Was his office full
of fine things:'
He shook his head.
"Then what did you see, John?"

slowly, "and a mighty clever man, too
If he wasn't rich, the world would be

Astor's hands weren't tied by SO much
wealth and SO many social obligations

MITCHELL STEALS AWAY.
4. Secret Visit to New YorL-The
 Strike Goes On.

,A. Secret Visit to New XorE-Th@
 Strike Goes On.
 WILKESBARRE, Pa, July 7.-Pres- ident Mitchell of the miners union has left here for New York He slipped out of town so unexpectedly and so quietly that only two or three persons around strike headquarters knew of his departure. As he did not announce he was going to New York there is an element of mystery about his journey, but 1t Is learned on trustworthy au- thority that he went to the metropolis for the purpose of meeting leaders of other labor organizations.
 Today begins the third month of the strike. There have been many rumors and opinions published that certain coal companies would within a few days attempt to start up one or more collieries. The officials of the big com panies who are willing to talk deny all Knowledge of any attempt of their re- spective companies to start work They say, however, that the number of men applying for work is growing larger each week. Many of them are given employment, and the names of the oth- CTS are placed on the waiting list. The number of miners among the appli- cants who are applying for work Is very small, and so long as the miners themselves refrain from going to the collieries no coal can be mined.
 Of the 147,O00 men and boys em- ployed about the mines approximately 36,OO0 are miners. Under the laws of the state no company can employ q man to cut coal unless he has a min CTS certificate showing that he has had two years experience in the anthracite mines. These certificates are awarded by examining boards composed of min- CTS appointed by the county courts. Therefore if 100000 men and boys were willing to return they could not lawfully operate collieries unless the striking miners also went to work.
 The labor leaders are unanimous in the belief that the strike will be on Sept. 1 If the operators make no con- sessions, and the company officials are of the opinion that the price of coal during the remainder of this year will not go below present figures, but, on the other hand, may go higher. One superintendent Is quite emphatic in his reply, he saying;
 T don't think the price will go down under any condition during this year."

The old Tucker shop on upper Shelf field street Is being fitted up for wire mill. The old shop is i'll Il dilapldated condition and many repairs will have to be made by the gang of carpenters employed at the work before 1t will be ready for use. It win be occupied for wire mill where electric wire will be manufactured by q company of which George Strobel of Waterbury is said to be the head.
 A grand fete will be given at the Driving park on Saturday afternoon and evening under the auspices of St MichaePs parish, Waterville. The Rev Father Traynor has arranged a program which is no doubt one of the best if not the best, which was ever given at the park. Each event is q star attraction in itself The first automobile, race ever held in this city will take place. Four of the promln- ent local chauffeurs will take part in it and it Is bound to be most interest- ing. An exhibition drill will be giv- en by Go c. Anything that Go c gives Is always of the first class. One of the features of the afternoon will be race between Fl. NJ. Rigneys mule and William McGrath's 5jennet. This race has been arranged to settle an old dispute in regard to the superior ity of these high bred animals. There will be baseball game between two courts of Foresters and q tug of war contest between two teams for the championship of the city. David Sheehy is making the arrangements for tfiis event and this fact alone guarantees a sharp contest. The best bicycle riders in the city will take part in the Bicycle race, and some of the best horses In the horse races There will be 100 yard dash, half mile run, potato, sack and three-legged races. The Sacred Heart and St Francis Xavier drum corps will give q street parade, while the American band orchestra will furnish music for the dancing both in the afternoon and evening. What better program than that could be arranged? None.

PROVIDENCE, k. l., July 7.-The union of the motormen and conductors held meeting yesterday afternoon, and President Arno formally ruled the street car strike on the United Trac- tion company at an end. Many of the men who were out expect to go to work this week, and hostillties will be at an end in this city, although the em- ployees of the Pawtucket Street Gar company will continue the strike. MT. Vetter said that in the discussion of the strike two things appeared promi- nently. One was that there were too many weak kneed men in the organiza- tion, and the other was that the consti- tuition of the international body pro- vides for $5 week strike benefits, which had not been paid.

 Yesterday Queen Alexandra and Princess Victoria visited Marlborough House, where they attended divine service with the Prince and Princess of Wales. The queen stayed within Buckingham palace for the rest of the day.
 Most of the churches in the United Kingdom celebrated the announce ment that King Edward was out of danger with informal thangsgiving services, special music and the singing of the national anthem.
 The government has issued orders that the Indian and colonial troops now in London shall postpone their departure indefinitely. These orders are due to the strongly expressed de- sire of the Indian contingent to espe- cially see the king before they return home, and they also indicate asl inten- ton to retain the troops here until the coronation.

 ANARCHY IN VENEZUELA.
President Castro So ProcIaims on
 Departing From Caracas.


 Departing From Caracas.
 WILLEISTAD, Curacao, July 7.- News has reached here from an official source in Caracas that President Cas- tro left the capital of Venezuela today for Valencia, in the state of Carabobo, to take command of the 4,500 govern ment troops concentrated there, who are to oppose the main army of the revolutionists, which, under the com mands of Luciano Mendoza and Gen. eral Solagnie, is marching toward Va lencia from Barquisimeto. The revolu- tionists are estimated to number more than 5000 men. Barquisimeto was captured by them last week.
 Preparatory to his departure from the capital President Castro published proclamation to the nation in which he says he recognizes the fact that an- archy exists in Venezuela and prom ises to re-establish peace shortly. Dur ing the absence of the president from Caracas General Vicente Gomez, first vice president, will act in his stead.
