TYPEOF THE BOWERY
CHUCK coNNoRS, QUAINT CHARAc'
TER OF NEW Works. SLuMS.

Social Leader In Chinese District of
the Great City-His Annual Ball.
Queer Product of the Metropolis.
Meeting with Hall CaIne.
The annual ball of the Chuck Con-
ners association has come and gone,
and nothing is left of it but a memory.
And such a memory! The elite Of So
ciety of New York's Chinatown and
adjacent districts in the Bowery are
of one opinion as to the success of Mr..
Connors' latest contribution to the gay
ETY. of life.
For several weeks prior to the great
event huge posters decorated the walls
of Chinese restaurants and Bowery sa-
looms announcing the date of the event
and bearing the admonition, Bring
your wads with you" And bring them
they did, and spend them they did.
But all this was to be expected and
was in the proper spirit, for when the
association which takes its name from
the redoubtable Chuck gives a ball the
bars are let down, and everything
goes, and goes to the limit, which Is
taken off. So much for Chuck Con-
nors' ball.
Chuck Connors, by the way, is not a
fictitious character, as some may sup
pose, but a living, breathing entity,
very much in evidence in the everyday
life of the peculiar district of New
York in which is to be found the flot-
sam and jetsam of all the world, in
Guiding China.
In rather dingy Chinatown saloon
Chuck Connors holds court. 1t is only
few doors away from the famous
Bowery, in Pell street. the, principal
street of Chinatown. And here Chuck
rules, for he is the unquestioned boss
of his district.
Chuck's public career began as a
newsboy and bootblack. He used to
ply his trade at the New York end Of
the Brooklyn bridge and along Park
row. As he accumulated years and
muscle he became a prizefighter and
later developed into an actor. These
employments of callow days have now
been relegated to the past, and it is as
a saloon keeper and leader OF the peo-
pie that he is seen at his best.
Among newspaper men Chuck Con-
nors is a great favorite. and his queer
conceits and original humor have fur

NOT CORRECT
Is the Report That the Illinois Central Pay
Car Will be Annulled.

The report that the Illinois Central
pay car would be discontinued after
January is authoritatively contra
dicted.
1t was stated some days ago that
the pay car service would be an
nulled, and that in the future en-
ployes of the road would be paid by
checks, but this statement turns out
to have been incorrect.
1t is announced that on some small
branches, where no more than
twenty-five or fifty men are en-
ployed, that the system of paying
by checks will be adopted in order
to save expense and time, but on all
large divisions the pay trains will be
operated as usual.

FOLLOWING its usual habit of
being first on mining news, The
Bee today gives its readers the
story of the coal industry of the
Western field of Kentucky for the
past year. The figures have been
carefully compiled and where
they were incomplete, conserya-
tive estimates have been made.
The chiefly interesting feature
of these returns is the showing
which the figures make proving
that the effect of the twelve
months agitation and intimida-
ton and violence on the part of
the unionists was very insignia
cant. This county calmly largely
in output at mines ON the Louis
vile & Nashville railroad where
cars we're supplied. The Western
coal field increased ITS output as
compared with the previous year.

What Republicans Want.

Frankfort, KY, January 49,
The Republican minority of the
General Assembly will ask but
one thing Of the majority of the
body at the session now on, and
that is to be permitted to have a
hand in the redistricting Of the
Congressional, Judicial and Leg
islative districts under the con-
stitutional provision requiring
such redistricting once in ten
years. The leaders of the mi
nority side have prepared meas
ures for each class, from their
point of view, of course, and, if
nothing else, they expect to make
some political capital out of the
refusal of the Assembly to adopt
their plans. One Republican,
the secretary of the late State
Campaign Committee Of the par
ty, prepared during idle moments
in he campaign headquarters
last summer bills for this pur-
pose.

.lohn Brown, Son Want, ths letter..

Mr.. w. W.. Scott, state librari-
an, has received a letter from
Salmon Brown, of Portland, Ore. {,
a son of Ossawattomie John
Brown, in regard to the recently
discovered letters and cores
pondence of his father. he
wants to recover these papers for
the remaining members of his
fathers ramily, and sought the
advice of the librarian as to what
steps he should take. He in
closed a clipping from Portland
paper of December 30, which
was the first intimation he had
of the discovery of the cores
pondence. Mr.. Brown mentions
in his letter that he is both a
Mason and an Odd Fellow, and
suggests that perhaps members
of those organizations IN Virginia
might help him in his endeavor
to get possession of the relics. 1t
is highly improbable that the
state will surrender these papers
for which such diligent seach has
been made for so many years,
and, moreover, there is no au-
thority to give them up, save by
an act of the general assembly.

(Glenn's Graphic)
On the 18th day of November
John L. Ohilders, who had been
employed at the Providence
mines, was shot from ambush
and the bullet penetrated the
back and spine. He had pro-
ceeded but a short distance when
he was fred on and wounded.
He managed to get home the
best way he could. He said not
less than 25 shots were fred at
him.
Mr.. Childers was In town this
week and he is still suffering
very much from his wound. He
will be compelled to go off to
some city, perhaps to st. Louis,
to have the ball extracted. He
wants us to say for him that the
company for which he worked
has been exceedingly kind to
him. The company has looked
after him and has been at great
expense in seeking his comfort.
1t is a shame that a man has
to suffer as that man has suf.
fered, and all on account of the
fact that he was trying, at the
time he was shot, to make liv-
ing for himself and family.

F. T. M'BRlDE SUES OCCIDENTAL
MINING AND DEVELOPMENT
FOR THE PROPERTY.

i. T. Mcbride filed complaint today
against the Occidental Mining 4 Develop
ment company and asks for judgment on
two causes OF action. 1t is alleged that on
November IL, 1894, the plaintiff sold to
J. ID. Slemons, at the request of James Nc
Farlane, ohm Lindsay and Clinton H.
Moore, one-haf of the Jewel lode, the said
McFarlane, Lindsay and Moore agreeing to

IS still due the sum Of $500 After the
execution Of the agreement, the said Slem-
ons, McFarlane, Lindsay and Moore con-
vcyed the property to the Occidental Min
ing & Development company and said COM
pany agreed to pay the $500 but failed to
do SO, wherefore judgment is asked for
said sum and interest.
For a second cause it is alleged that the
defendant became indebted to the plaintiff
between September 8, 1894 and October T.,
1909, for money advanced and for legal
services rendered for the use and benefit
of the defendant, and for this the plaintiff
asks for judgment for $472.s5 and costs

JOHN GllllE TELLS WHAT REALLY
HAPPENED At THE MEETING TO
DISCUSS THE BILL.
REFUTES FAUGUSTUS'S
BALD MISSTATEMENT
Over His Own Signature, General Super
intendent Of the Amaloannated Gives
the Facts Concerning a Meeting Of
Which the Butte Monte Cristo ls Try
ing to Make Campaign Matter.

On several occasions Mr.. Heinze has
publicly charged that after the election
two years ago he was invited to confer
ence with other mine managers and
requested by Senator Clark to sanction the
passage of an eght-hour law that would
be defective.
He claims that he was invited to the
conference by Senator Clark who, in a
personal note, merely requested him to call
at the senator's Office, not stating any par
ticular object.
Mr. Heinze makes many positive state
ments about the interview, and among
others that he Indignantly walked out Of
the conference.
Everyone WHO knows John Gillie, gen.
eral superintendent Of the Amalgamated
company, will have no hesitancy in pro-
nouncing any statement that he might
make true. The better they know Mr..
Gillie the more certain they will be that it
is true.
Over His Signature.
Over his own signature he makes the
following statement relative to the meeting
TeIeIreu 10 Dy MT. f1e1nZe:
at was on Sunday the s7th of January,
1901, that meeting was held at the office
of Senator Clark by number Of mining
men of Butte, referred to by Mr.. Henze in
some of his speeches. l was present at
the meeting, and went in response to note
from Mr.. Wethey asking me to meet Mr..
Clark. There were present at that meeting
besides Senator Liark, Messrs. +. Angus
tus Heinze, Frank Klepetko, r. i. Pearce,
Charles Clark, A. II. Wethey and myself,
and my recollection is that the late Mr..
Frank E. Corbett was also present.
What Was Discussed.
THE only question discussed at the
meeting was as to the time necessary to
put the eight-hour system in operation at
the smelters. 1t was thought by several
that it would be difficult to get sufficient
number of experienced men, and that it
would not be possible to make the change
on short notice, and that reasonable
length of time should be allowed. There
was no suggestion by any one that the law
should be so drawn as to be made
ineffective, and no one at the meeting
expressed opposition to the principle of
the law. Any statements to the contrary
are untrue. 1t was the generally accepted
view that a reasonable length of time
should be allowed to the smelters, and that
view was accepted by the legislature, and
it will be remembered that the law was
made to take effect 90 days after its pas
sage.

New York, Oct. I7.-William C. Tur-
ner today shot and killed Albert Ham,
iton of Pittsburg and w. ]. Mallard in
the Office of the law firm of Canter &
Mcintyre, in Broad street, and then COM
mtted suicide.
Turner was at one time president and
treasurer of the Climax Bottling COM
pany, in which the other two men were
interested, and the three met today to
effect settlement growing out of an
alleged defalcation on the part of Tur-
ner.

volver, killed Hamilton and Mallard, and
then turning the weapon upon himself,
committed suicide.
Turner came from Mount Vernon. N. Y.
1t is alleged that he was a defaulter to
the sum of $4,000 in his accounts. A mem
ber of the law firm in whose office the
shooting occurred said that after the three
had been in conference Turner said
well, here's a check for $4,000"
With that he put his hand in his pocket,
flashed out a revolver and fired point
blank at Mallard. Hamilton made jump
for Turner and grappled with him but
Turner succeeded in turning his revolver
on Hamilton and killed him.
Before any one could get into the room
