swore that Gardner had said the mayor
would have to have s100 week In con
sideration Of permitting the big mitt Joint
to remain open.
At the time the conversation was held
Mayor Ames was absent from the city on
a hunting trip with George Kent, Wash

friends. Gardner is said to have ex-
planned this to Edwards and to have
added: ~

In addition, Edwards testified that the
proposition included a further payment Of
$50 q. week each to Christopher Norbeck,
now under indictment, and to Gardner
himself. In return for the payments Ed
wards and the men interested with him
were to be guaranteed police protec-
ton, although Gardner told them that he
would not give them receipt for their
money.

his name was called this morning every

slightly above the ordinary height, of
slender build, wit hda-k moustache and

and distributed them at the various col

Several colored cooks accompanied the
goods and a number of strange men also

Wilkesbarre, Pa, May 31.-There is
every reason to believe that the pump

That, the operators do, not propose to
yield Is evidenced by the high fences and
barbed wire which they have placed
around the collieries. Hundreds Of extra
coal and iron policemen have been en-
ployed, armed principally with reyolvers.
These armed guardsmen are back of the
, high board fences and the barbed wire.
President Mitchell is expected to ar

neux has cost more than that Of any
other for capital offense in any coun-
try where the English system Of ju-

The cost to the county of New York
in the first trial amounted to $3.50, 900.
This was expended in various direc-
tions, largely in fees for handwriting
experts, who were brought from dis
tsut states. and for detectives who en-.
deavored to trace Molineux's move
ments from his fifteenth birthday to
the time of his arrest.
The defense expended about t75, 900

A YEAR.

Washington, Nov. is-The slate
for the promotion to major generals
to fill vacancies caused by retirements
to take place next year has been ar.
ranged. There will be three vscsn-
ceis, General Hughes retiring April
