that Molienux was convicted, and SEN
fenced to death. Following the con-
viction the family and friends of the
condemned man, thru the efforts
of eminent counsel succeeded in stay
ing the execution for more than two
years, while Molineux remained in the
condemned chamber of Sing Sing pris-
on. Finally second trial was obtained
since which time Molineux has been
|confined in the Tombs.
During the trial the character OF
Blanche Cheesebrough was assailed by
the prosecution, and, when asked If he
had anything to say before being sem
fenced to death, Molineux said not a
word in his own defense, but improved
the opportunity to denounce his prose-
cutor, James Osborne, as a black
guard, coward. cad and liar" for his
attacks upon Mrs. Roland B. Molineux,
whom he lauded.
During all of Molineux's fight for his
life his wife has been his able and
faithful ally. His father, General b.
L. Molineux, man with a splendid
civil war record, has spent nearly all
of his big fortune in his boys defense,
while the white-haired mother has by
her prayers constantly pleaded at the
bar of a court that is higher than those
of earth.
The defense to all the states mass
of circumstantial evidence was sneer-

with in a simple manner, and yet be of
benefit to the people.
A damage case which has just come
to the supreme court on appeal from
Clarke county gives an echo of an in
teresting series of lawsuits in that
county. 1t is the case of f. e. Perry VS..
Clarke county. Perry got judgment for
$4,000. He was running a threshing
machine, and one evening just as it was
getting dark he ran the engine over a
small bridge on the highway. He had
previously planked the bridge as re-
quired and proceeded with caution, and
Notwithstanding that another big en-
gine had been run over the bridge only
a few days before this time, the bridge
broke down. Perry fell twelve feet and
was buried in the mud beneath the
boiler, and the escaping steam scalded
him terribly. He remained pinioned
down for three hours and nervous
chill seizing him he called for saw
that he might saw off his own leg and
free himself. He was not allowed to do
this, but did take the saw and literally
saw his way out of the wreck In the
darkness and with the steam envelop-
ing him. 1t was in connection with this
case that accusations were made by
interested parties that conspiracy to
bring damage suits against the county
was formed. and this accusation result
ed in a good deal of i'll feeling In the
county, and to avoid damage suit one
newspaper had to publish complete
apology.

PereIes' Body Found.

Milwaukee, Nov. 11.-The body of
Nathan j. Pereles, son of Mrs. Benja-
min +. Pereles, and nephew of Judge j.
M. Pereles and T. j. Pereles, was found
floating in Lake Michigan about a
quarter of mile outside the harbor en-
trance at noon yesterday. Young Per-
eles disappeared Oct. last, since which
time the police of the entire country
have been on the lookout for him, it be-
ing the opinion of his friends that he
was alive and probably following a the
atrical company and playing a small
part; as he was fond of theatricals and
had often expressed desire to go on
the stage, altho his parents objected to
that kind of life for him. He was
about 20 years of age and in a year
would have come into possession of a
comfortable fortune left by his father;
therefore, his suicide, for there seems
to be no doubt that such it was, is
shrouded in mystery

A WARM CLASS SCRAP.
Students Fall Thru Ceiling Onto Ban.

Beloit. Wis, Nov. 1.-THE warmest
class scrap known here in long time
was the attack of the sophomores on
the purpose was to break up the BAN
quet, then the sophs were highly sue
cessful. The freshmen tried to keep
the time and place of their event Sc
cret, but failed to do so, and while
they were enjoying their spread in
knights of Pythias Hall the sopho-
mores climbed up on surrounding
buildings, broke in some windows and
showered the banquet hall with eggs,
foul smelling chemicals and liquid glue.
The freshmen resisted vigorously. and
clothing was torn on both sides.
While the battle was on some sopho-
mores fell thru the ceiling into the BAN
ouet hall. This led to a call for the po-
lice, and among the officers to first reach
the scene was Chief Appleby, sheriff
elect. With other officers he began to
force an entrance to the hall. and when
the sophomores resisted the chief made
it known that he was not a student,
and proposed to enter the hall. where
upon the doors were opened and the
officers rounded up the sophomores, Sc
curing their names and pledge to re-
port to him If he wished them.
After seizing the viands the sopho-
mores ran thru town eating them and
yelling. The freshmen rallied as best
they could. consumed what was left of
a fine dinner and carried out their lost
program without further interference.

Three of the four main cables, which
have been in process of construction
since August, 1901, were injured. They
will have to be rebuilt in part at any
rate, delaying the completion of the
bridge considerably.
Under the main cables the temporary
bridges were suspended from four
small cables, and these were burned off
and fell. With the fall of the cables
and the foot bridges there was dropped
a tangle of wreckage from the New
York pier half way out over the river,
like yarn hanging from clothesline.
This constituted so much of menace
to navigation that at one time the har-
Dor police shut off all traffic under the
bridge.
The damage to the tower, the materi-
ais, and tools on it, and the foot bridges,
is estimated at $4,000, but this is prob
ably only a small part of the total. The
damage to the great cables can not be
learned until full examination is made

President of the Reading Com
pany Replies to Charges
Made by Mitchell
DEMANDS ARE UNREASONABLE.
Reduction of Twenty Per Cent in Hours
of Labor Not Possible With Reduc-
ing Pay of the Time Empioyes-The
Mine Workers Organization Not Re-
coenized in the Proceedings.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE reply of
President Baer of the Philadelphia and
Reading Coal Co., to the charges OF
President Mitchell Of the United Mine
Workers, which have been presented to
the Anthracite Coal Strike Commission,
were today given to the public. Baer
makes no reference to Mitchell as pres
ident of the miners organization, but
refers to him simply as an Individual.
Taking up the specifications in Mitch
ellis charges seriatim, Baer first admits
his company owns thirty-seven col
lieries and that before the strike it en-
ployed 26,S29 people. Following is
brief summary of the reply to Mitch
ellis other specifications: The demand
for 90 per cent increase in wages
on piece work is denounced as Ar
bitratory, unreasonable and unjust.
The company contends that after max
ing all necessary allowance for different
conditions that the rate OF wage PAID
for mining anthracite coal is as high
as that paid in the bituminous field.
The company denies the present wages
are lower than paid in other occupa-
tions in the same locality, controlled
by like conditions. Baer denies the
earnings Of the anthracite workers are
less than the average earnings for
other occupations, requiring skillk and
training and also the charges that the
earnings are insufficient because Of
the dangerous character of the work
in the anthracite mines.
The company pronounces as unjust
and inequitable the demand for re-
duction of 20 per cent in hours without
reducing the earnings for time en-
ployes, and this demand is pronounced
impracticable. In this connection the
following statement is made: Because
OF the injury to the mines by the strike
of the United Mine Workers, the cost
of producing coal has been greatly in
creased and a temporary advance in
price was made by this company, but it
will be impracticable to continue such
increase when mining operations be-
come normal Baer states his company
has no disagreement with any of its
employees about weighing coal, because
the quantity is usually determined by
measurement, not by weight. Baer says
that since the advent of the United
Mine Workers organization into the
anthracite fields business conditions
there have been intolerable; output of
the mines decreased, and discipline has
been destroyed; strikes have been of
almost daily occurrence: the men have
worked when and as they please, and
the cost of mining has been greatly in
creased. He also takes the position
that the jurisdiction of the commission
is limited to the conditions named by
the coal company presidents, which ex-
cludes the United Mine Workers from
any recognition in the proceedings. He
says, however: when a labor organi-
zation, limited to anthracite mine
workers, is created which shall obey
the law and respect the right of every
man to work and honestly cooperate
with the employers, trade agreements
may become practicable"

LAKE SHIP BURNS.
Steamer Packer Destroyed, But Crew
ESCAPED in Boats.

ESCAPED IN boatS.
Detour, Mich, Nov. 11.-F'ire broke
out on the steamer r. A. Packer while
the boat was bound down Lake Huron
yesterday and in short time drove the
crew to seek safety in the steamers s
yawlboats. Later the steamer Thomas
w. Palmer and tug ]. e. Rumbell
sighted the burning vessel, steamed
alongside her, and by vigorous use of
steam pumps and hose extinguished the
blaze. Then a search was made for the
Packers crew, but up to a late hour
tonight nothing had been heard from
the missing men. They are supposed to
have affected a landing in the sparsely
settled district west of here.
Indications were that the steamer had
not drifted far after being abandoned.
That the crew had deserted was shown
by the absence of her yawlboaats, all
having been taken away. The r. A.
Packer is wooden steamer built in
1881, and registering 921 gross tons.
She is 200 feet long and of 33-foot
beam. The Packer is owned by John
A. Connolly, Of Chicago. The salvage
to the crews of the Palmer and Rum
bell will be considerable, for in addition
to the value of the wreck the Packer's s
cargo of iron ore will be counted in the
salvage claims.

SEARCH FOR EeAN KEPT UP.
Hope That Railway chief Reached De.
serted Cabin Is Entertained.

Kalispel, Mont, Nov. 11.-Some of
the searchers who went out Saturday
to look for Benjamin F. Egan, superin-
tendent Of the Great Northern Rail-
way, are still at work along the south
fork of the Flathead River. There are
some deserted cabins in this section,
and anxious friends of Egan cling to
the hope that he may have reached one
of these. Mrs. Egan has arrived at
Bolton.
A party has left Columbia Falls for
Hungry Horse Creek, and will be out
several days. 1t is now almost impos-
sible to get thru the country except on
snowshoes, and parties which have
gone into the south fork country have
been compelled to use them. DIR. Hous-
ton, one of Egan's companions on the
hunt, has given up all hope of Egan
alive.
1t was learned tonight that Egan
never had any previous experience in
hunting, having heretofore given his
recreation time to fishing. The the
ory that he has been seized for a ran
som is regarded here as nonsense. The
region is wild, but it's people are law
abiding.

A SPECTACULAR FIRE.
New East River Bridge Partially
Burned Last NIGHT

New York, Nov. 11.-A fire, spectac-
ular in appearance and unprecedented
in location, attacked the new East riv-
er bridge, which is partially completed,
between this city and Brooklyn, at dusk
last evening. At a late hour the fire was
still burning, but was gradually dying
out, and what threatened to be dis
aster in financial and time loss was ap-
parently averted. The flames We're over
800 feet in the air. and the firemen We're
utterly unable to reach them They
extended along the bridge cables far
out across the river, and at distance
looked like some magnificent scheme
of. decoration for a municipal celebra-
ton.
The fire began in an insignificant
workshed on the south side of the New
York pier. In three hours the fire had
spread all across the top of the tower,
thru $4,000 feet of lumber stored there.
