CAUSED DISAPPOINTMENT.
Pennsylvanians Believe Struggle
 Will Coutinue

Wilkesbarre. Pa., Oct. 10.-D1sappoint- ment followed the news received from New York this evening that the confer ence held in that city had failed to reach an agreement. It is feared in business circle sthat the struggle will continue for some weeks yet. The strike leaders will make every effort to hold their men in line. trusting the cold weather to bring the operators to terms.
 The local operators say nothing but failure was to be expected from the New York conference as it was more of a political gathering than anything else. The officers of the Third Brigade with headquarters in this city. made the an- nouncement today that the order of Coy ernor Stone to place all persons arrested for rioting under a military guard, will be strictly observed. A stockade is being erected at West Side Park. where the 9th Regiment Is in camp, and prisoners will be confined there. The military au- thorities complain that the civil authori- ties have been too lenient with some peo- pie who have been taken into custody since the military arrived in the region and that stronger measures are neces- sary.
 The troops camped at West Side Park suffered from the cold for the first time last night when heavy frost prevailed. oil stoves were in great demand today
 The operators will make another deter mined effort to start up additional col lieries next Monday and in case the mili- tia cannot furnish the necessary protec- ton for the men who want to go to work and their families number of local op- orators will petition the Governor as to the advisability of calling on the Presi- dent for Federal troops

COLOMBIA DEMONSTRATES.
Hopes to Be Able to Send Troops
 Across Isthmus.

Washington, Oct. 10-The Colombian Government on complaint of General Sal agar in command of It's forces on the isthmus, has remonstrated with the United States Minister at Bogota respect ing Admiral Casey's reported refusal to allow troops and munitions of war to cross the isthmus. The Colombian Gov ernmsnt said it did not see how 1t could suppress the rebellion if 1t were not all lowed to move troops freely in its own territory.
 The officials here are confident that Admiral Casey's order has been misun- derstood. They feel sure that If he stop ped the transfer of Colombian troops or war munitions, 1t was only for some tenn porary reason. The Colombian Govern ment has been assured in a courteous manner that the United States Govern ment has no intention of trenching Co., iombian sovereignty which is guaranteed by special treaty provision. Admiral Ca- sey was informed that what had been done was still Approved, but was remind ed that he must avoid infringement of Colombian sovereignty unless he was pos itively obliged to do so to protect the railroad.
 It Is presumed. therefore, that the way Is again open for the transit of Colom- bian troops and munitions of war across the isthmus.

A COMBINE OF GROCERS
IT IS TO INCLUDE EVERY wHoLEsALER IN COUNTRY.
Proposed to Organize Great Corpora tion to Buy All Firms Outright. Will Not Interfere with
 Manufacturers.

St. Louis, Oct. 10.-The Interstate Gro- cer of St. Louis will tomorrow say that a combine to include every wholesaler of groceries in the United States Is in the course of formation. That paper will say:
 'The details of the great plan are not yet public property. They will not be un- til after November s next, when the ini- tial steps toward forming the combina- ton will be taken in Detroit. George D. Hanford of New York City, Is engineer ing the deal In a few days the entire wholesale grocery trade of the United States will receive invitations to this meeting. An outline of the plan is as follows:
 Tt is proposed to take o~er the busi- ness of the entire line of wholesale groc- CTS in the United States. One great cor poration will be formed which will buy outright the business and good will of all the firms. A central office for the ac- commodation of the officers of the com pany will be maintained. probably in New York. This central office will, on all of the leading grocery products, do the buy ing for all the houses in the corporation. It Is not proposed that the company will go into the manufacturing of grocery products, but rather that the business between the large manufacturers and the company will be through one general office."

ALL CONFERENCES FAILED
Governor Odell Had Heated
 Controversy with Baer.
Proposition of Five Gents Per Ton Advance is Scorned by Mine operators-Mitchen Leaves
 New York.

New York. Oct. 10.-After two days of conference between the anthracite coal mine operators on one side and the Gov ernor and senior Senator of New York and the two Senators from Pennsylvania or the other. the strike of the United Mine Workers of America is apparently as far from a settlement as the day it was declared.
 Governor Odell laid before the operators today the proposition that if they would concede to the miners an advance of 5 cents a ton in the price paid for mining coal, he would promise that the miners would resume work. Being told further that the concessions would carry with 1t recognition of the miners union, the op- orators promptly refused to entertain the proposition, and took their leave. La- ter in the day they and the Pennsylvania Senators left the city, the latter going to Harrisburg.
 John Mitchell, President of the United Mine Workers of America, announced his intention of leaving the city early tomorrow morning, his destination being Wilkesbarre. MT Mitchell took no part in any of the conferences. he being in New York, 1t Is understood, in order that he might be within reach should the ne- gotiations reach a stage where his de- cision for the miners would be required.
 Governor Odell feels that he has done all that 1t Is possible for him to do. un- der existing laws. toward bringing about a termination of the strike. He would not say tonight whether or not it was his intention to call the ,Late Legislature in extraordinary session to consider the enactment of law under which the con- tention between the coal operators and the Niners might be brought to an end. That. the Governor said, was something he would not discuss at this time.

 Kills Self.

Kills Self.
 Grand Fork, N. D.. Oct. 10.-In a quar- rel between school teacher and the board of trustees at Altoona, a little sta ton on the Great Northern. seven miles north of the Canadian line. seven per- sons have been shot. One of them is dead and five others are dying. The dead: Toewes. Heiiy l.. school teacher. com- naitted suicide.
 Fatally wounded:

 Kehier, Peter, trustee.
 Kehler. daughter of P. Kehler. aged 10. Kehler, daughter of P. Kehler, aged 8. Kempt, Abraham, school trustee.
 Rempt, daughter of Abraham Rempt, may recover.
 The school is near little village in the thickly settled part of the valley which has . population of but few hundred people. The settlers are Mennonites. who have lived in the vicinity for years. The school has been in charge of a mennon- ite teacher named Heily Toewes. There has been some dissatisfaction with the management of the school and this has led to a great deal of bad feeling in the community.
 Three members of the board of trustees met at the school house during school hours to talk the trouble over with the teacher Hot words were exchanged and suddenly Toewes drew his revolver and shot down the three trustees. He then rushed into the school house where he shot 1-ehler two daughters, aged and 10. through the body. They will die. The 11-year-old daughter of Rempt was then attacked, but the bullet struck her in the arm. breaking the bone. The suicide fol- lowed.

SENATORS SAW CAssATT.
Penrose and Quay Return to Phila
 delphia.

Philadelphia, Oct. 10-Senators Quay and Penrose arrived here from New York this evening, and immediately disappear ed. It was reported, but the rumor could not be verified. that they were in consultation with President Cassatt of the Pennsylvania Railroad until a late hour.
 Up to midnight Senator Quay had not appeared at the Hotel Walton, his stop ping place in this city. nor did he present himself at Republican State headquart- CTS.
 Shortly before the arrival of the Sena- tors, President Cassatt met President Baer of the Reading Company on the latter's return from New York. After a brief conversation Mir. Baer went to his home.
 Senator Penrose was scheduled tonight to attend meeting of business men at Pottsville at which Secretary Of the Treasury Shaw delivered an address. MT. Penrose, however, did not go to Potts vile which adds strength to the belief that matters of importance pertaining to the miners strike were considered by the Senators after their arrival here.

 Before adjournlng the encampment adonted a resolution endorsing the posi- ton taken by Commander-in-Chief Tor rsnce in calling for assistance from the Grand Army for the home for Confed- crate Veterans at Mountain Creek, Ala and urging the adoption of an attitude Of brotherly kindness toward their Toes or the Civil War.

 Among other letters received is one from Capt. J. NJ Falkner of Montgomery. Ala, who is interested in the Mountain Creek Home. from which the following is an extract:

 r These coal operators may postpone this matter until Tuesday, but l don't propose to postpone 1t. They are not act ing fairly towards the people. l believe I shall find some remedy"
 About o'clock John Mitchell. accom- panied by L. N. Hammerling of Wilkes barre called and had a long conference While this was going on a dispatch an nouncing that the operators refused to consider the terms offered by the Cover. nor, was received.
 When the conference was over Cover nor Odell refused to say what had oc' cured and MT. Mitchell was equally ret!' cent It is believed, however, that Gov ernor Odell presented his proposition for settlement to the leader of the miners union and that MT. Mitchell said he would present it to the district presidents in the hope that it would be accepted.
 With the announcement that all the con ferees except Governor Odell had left town some of the interest in the matter dropped.
 Waiting for Answers.
 Governor Odell at late hour was ask ed whether he had determined on any further move. He said:
 q have not received any official no- tice of the rejection of our proposition"
 Has 1t been suggested that you call an extra session of the Legislature?" he was asked.
 q have not thought of it as yet. As the operators"
 The Governor said tonight that he would go to Newburgh tomorrow to registe: and return here on Monday morning Then he said he would again take up the matter actively if no decision was arrived at by the miners and operators. He said further that MT. Mitchell was eminently fair and showed every disposition to ad- just the serious situation.
 There Is nothing tonight to justify the assertion that negotiations will be re- stunned next Tuesday. As one of the coa presidents put it, ''The incident is closed
 '"The publicists," said this gentleman made a number of suggestions, all o1 which we turned down. These included q AV Pch SCht ihCISdSC III pay d uCSA AcuoC VI working hours and recognition of the union, as well as a number of other prop. ositions which we regard as equally un. debatable. In fact we found it impossi. ble to negotiate with them and said so Will Not Meet Again. What their next step will be I cannot say. but they understand that we cannot be moved. I repeat we will not meet then again. It Is frivolous and is bound tC result in further i'll feeling'' Another operator said:
 Tt Is not for us to consider mere mat ters of political expediency. Had so-call ed statesmen kept their hands off, tn, strike would have been settled long ago We have taken a stand for principle an, no amount of argument will budge us." K J. P. Morgan, who conferred with sev eral of the operators during the day would not discuss latest development but it is known that he has not swerve from his purpose not to become a part | to the controversy. le----,.

Coming up stairs he went to his mpther's room where the victims were all sleeping. Af' ter turning up the light the maniac ap' preached his mothers bedside. swung the axe high in the air and brought 1t down with such force that the skull was crushed The mother evidently never knew what struck her, but the crazed son, thinking that his first blow did not do it's work, pounded the dead mother s head almost to a jelly.
 Belle, the oldest daughter, slept throughout the time. Charles hurried to her side of the bed and struck her with the axe. It is thought that te first blow slipped and awoke te girl, but only for

 The fiend then turned to the smaller children and struck each one over the head with the bloody weapon.
 Believing that he had dispatched them all, he started for hls brothers' room. but James. the eldest, had been awaken ed by the groans in his mothers room. and. as Charles entered. he seized a heavy rocking chair and, after fierce struggle, overpowered him and turned him over to the police. On the way to the station he fought ferociously. but af- ter being placed in a cell he calmed down and did not seem to realize what he had done
 When physicians reached the house. Mrs. Cawley and Belle were dead. The others are still living. but the doctors announced that they could not live through the day.
