HE SOLD HIS /
Considered Her Worth Only Thirty
cents

Elkhart, Ind, Aug. 7.-Harvey Taller
day, of this city, begins to think that his
wife and Morgan Gordon were inearnest
when they called his bluff five weeks ago.
He went home unexpectedly and found
Mrs. Tallerday entertaining Gordon, but
he didn't grow hysterical, and after a
few fippant remarks, declared he would
sell "the woman for 80 cents.
Gordon asked the woman if she was
willing to be sold, and when she gave an
affirmative reply, he handed over to the
spouse the sum of 80 Gordon and
Mrs. Tallerday then departed and Taller
day has not heard from them since. .
Tallerday is a laborer, apparently
frank and honest, though humble, and is
about As years of age. He says his wife
is a little younger than himself, 38.
They have three children as the result of
their twenty-five years of married life,
the eldest being about p years old and
the youngest in her teens. He says his
woman" was good" until she took to
drink. Gordon is, like himself, alaborer,
and about the same age. 1t is supposed
the couple went to Michigan.

Connection Between Hawaii and SAP

Washington, Aug. S.-Washington Of
fcials who are interested in the constrruc-
ton of the Pacific cable are confident
that the cable ship Silver Crown, which
will sail from London with the first sec
ton of the cable, will arrive in Pacific
waters in time to complete the connec-
ton between San Francisco and Hawaii
by the end of October. Arrangements
have been made for all necessary land

landing will be just south of the Golden
Gate. The Hawaiian islands now COM

occupied by civilized people which have
no connection by cable with the outside
world. Aside from their growing com
mercial Importance they furnish, a stop
ping place for nearly all trans-P aciic
shipping. The promised cable, there
fore, will be of the greatest Importance
to commercial interests everywhere.

STOLE SILK FROM CORN.
Arrest of Manufacturing Chemists
on an Interesting Charge.

indianapolis, Aug. s.-Police Judge
Stubbs has ordered the arrest of John
B. Mccoy, president, and Aaron B.
Howe, vice-prcsident Of the Mccoy
Howe company, manufacturing chemists
as a result of developments growing out
of the stealing of the silk from growing
corn. Mrs. Jennie Durant, her daughter,
and another young girl were caught by
a farmer taking the silk from his grow
ing corn, and an examination showed
that the three females had robbed his en-
tire field which consisted of about 20
acres. An adjoining farm had been visit
ed by them and the silk taken from all
the corn in a field of 40 acres, and other
farms had been similarly denuded.
When arranged in court Mrs. Durant
said that she was gathering the silk for
the McCoy-Howe company, who had
agreed to pay her 4 cents a pound for
the silk and she had employed her daugh-
ter and the other girl to assist her, Civ
ing them 3 cents a pound. She said that
Mccoy called her into his office and offer
ed to buy the corn silk for use in the
manufacture Of medicine, and when she
asked him where she should get it, he re-
piled, "any old place. She said she did
not know it would hurt the corn to take
away the silk. r.
All the farmers testified that the taking
away of the silk before the ears had

STRIKERS OEMONSTRAvIV Vi
Threaten the Lives Of Non.Unionists

STRIKERS DEMONSTRAvIV|jE

Shenandoah, Pa, August 8.-Brig-
adler General Goblin today sent a
platoon of cavalry to the mining set
Element of Turkey Run for the pur-
pose Of making a demonstration in
that vicinity, which is populated most
ly by FOREIGNERS. The general had
received information that the families
of non-union workmen are annoyed
constantly by strikers and their
houses stoned.
The information received by Gen
eral Goblin was contained in a letter
from a woman whose husband is work
ing in the mine at Gilberton. She
says her husband has been threaten
ed every day, her home has been bat
tered with stones each night and a
large rock struck her little girl, who
was asleep in bed. The woman also
declared the neighbors annoy her by
gathering in front Of her house, jeer-
ing at her and hanging crepe on the
door knob. She concluded by saying
that one night some one fired at her
and she asked General Goblin to send
her protection.
The cavalrymen visited the home
of the woman, and finding her in de-
licate health, escorted her and her
children to the railroad station. She
was sent with an escort to the Potts
vile hospital.
The foreigners did not take kindly to
the visit of the troops. While going along
a rough trail at the base Of the noun
tain a crowd some distance up the ridge,
out of reach Of the troops, jeered and
stone was thrown. The horsemen came
to a stop and the crowd fed through
the brush.
The firing of pistols and rifles during
the night continued, but not in the
neighborhood in which the guardsmen
are stationed.
The strike situation in the Shenandoah
region remains unchanged and, despite
all reports to the contrary, there are no
visible signs of preparation being made
to resume work in the mines.
Joseph Pauluwoz, the butcher, and
Matthew P%aularkas, the one-armed
saloon-keeper, who are charged with
the murder of Joseph Beddall, in the
riots of last Wick, were today formally
committed without bail to the county
Jail at PO~ttsville.

City Patrolmen Have Resumed For
mer Schedule of Work.

During the strike and its attendant
disturbances the members OF the city
police force were obliged to do reserve
duty at the various quarters in the
central city and suburban station
houses.
The reserve rule has been recalled,
an in consequence the officers are jubi-

leisure than they have enjoyed for a
long time.
The change was made yesterday, and
instead Of being obliged to spend sew
eral hours each day at their quarters,
they can remain at their homes.
