Geo. Wines, of st. Charles, Shot

Two Strange Men Commanded Him to
Halt and Immediately Opened Fire.
ESCAPED DEATH BY STRATEGEM.

Geo. Wines, of st. Charles, nom
union guard in the employ of the
st. Bernard Mining Company, mar
rowly escaped assassination Sunday
night when he was held up near his
home at that place by two strange
men who fired five shots at him at
close range.
Wines was unarmed and although
the shots did not hit him they were
cutting the air uncomfortably near
his head, and to save his life he fell
to the ground groaning and pretend
ing to be terribly injured. After a
short time the groans ceased and his
assailants thinking him dead walked
up nearer to him, one of them re-
marking that he was finished, or
words to that effect. they turned and
left him.
Wines had been out driving with
his wife after supper and returning
had taken his horse to the pasture
for the night. He was on his way
home when accosted by the two men
who ordered him to halt. Wines
thinking it was some of his neigh
bors or friends replied, II have no

was soon convinced of his mistake,
however, and when they opened fire
on him fell to the ground and feigned
injury which in all probability saved
his life. There is not the slightest
clew so far as to who his assailants
were and the affair is shrouded in
mystery.

the Alabama miners were eager
to grasp a straw as will be seen
by the following clipping:
Birmingham, Ala, July H.
After a short discussion the joint
convention of the United Mine
Workers and coal operators
agreed on scale today. Two
trivial concessions on the part
of the operators brought the
miners over and the scale was
quickly adopted and signed.
The scale, as agreed upon, pro-
vides for a maximum price of
fifty-five cents for mining coal
and uniform scale of wages for
mining coal and uniform scale of
wages for day laborers. The
miners had demanded an in
crease of five cents per ton and
two-weeks' pay day and an
eight-hour work day. They lost
all of these contentious, but
gained a point in the establish
ment of a uniform scale of wages
for day laborers.

THE "AULD CLAY BUGGlN."

Societies Will Reproduce at the

Worlds Fair Grounds, st.
Louis, July 16.-The Scotch ele-
ment is strong and influential in
American life and keeps itself in
close relations with the old home.
The proposition to reproduce at
the Worlds Fair of 1904 at st.
Louis the Robert Burns cottage
has struck a popular chord. The
"Auld Clay Buggin," the very
humble cottage under the thatch
of which Robert Burns was born
on the 25th of January, 1850, is
of clay, with Il sanded front,
whitewashed, and was built
mainly by the hands of the poets
father while he was work
ing as a gardener for Ferguson of
Doonholm. This house, as all
pilgrims to Ayr know, is one
story high, and consists of a
kitchen in one end and a best
parlor in the other. In the latter
is fireplace and, in a nicne by
its side, is bed. AS to Bobbie,

pin, who was killed, was brake
man on train No. ID. His body
was not found until 8 80 O'Clock
Sunday morning, when the last
of the derailed box cars was re-
moved. He was badly crushed
and mangled and death must
have been instantaneous. His
body was brought to Louisville at
Z O'Clock Sunday evening and
taken to his home at 1903 West
Broadway, where his wife and
child live. Flippin was "a years
of age, and it is probable that
his body will be taken to his old
home in Tennessee for burial,
though no definite arrangements
have vet been made.
M. j. Crosby, the engineer on
No. 13, was at first reported dead,
but word was received yesterday
morning by his family at S21
West st. Catherine street that
he was still alive, conscious and
had a fighting chance for recoy-
cry.
William Follise, engineer on
No. 1S, escaped by jumping.
Conductors Peter @. Summers
and M. S. Campbell escaped with
only a few scratches. Fireman
B. L. Newton and Q. Frank Haden
were slightly injured, Haden's
left knee cap being broken. Ev-
cry member of both crews is a
resident of Louisville and the
trainmaster's office was besieged
all morning by the friends and
relatives of the trainmen. Ac-
cording to the statement of the
Louisville officials the response
bility for the wreck rests with
operator at Smiths Grove. The or
ders were for No. 13 to wait at
Numa until II :55 O'Clock for No.
IS. But the operator sent the
message making the time IL :05
and at that hour No. 13 pulled
out. The two trains met at IL 40
O'Clock in a cut one mile north of
Bowling Green. The collision
was head-on and the engine
and eight cars of No. 13 were
thrown from the track, while five
cars on the other train were de-
rallied. The locomotive of No. 1S
was badly demolished.
The collision was one of the
most costly the Louisville Il
Nashville has had in many years
from money point of view. The
locomotives were brand new and
the wrecked cars are only fit for
kindling wood. The property
loss is estimated at more than
100000, although the officials
here say the actual loss will not
be known for several days. For
more than eighteen hours all
traffic was blocked, but with two
wrecking crews the tracks were
cleared at 2:3O O'Clock Monday
afternoon and trains passed north
and south. Prior to that time
all passenger trains went by Nor

WlUnOuC attempting TO crltl'
else or cast reflections in the
least upon ministers or religion,
we wish to call attention to the
fact that even sanctified preach
ers are not always gifted with
the power of prophecy. AS was
fully illustrated by Grant Dun.
ming, who for years past claimed
to possess that perfect state OF
religion called sanctification, and
as a member of that unholy alli-
ance, the U. M. W., could see
the speedy defeat of coal compa-
nies who declined to be led by
false teachers, namely the agita-
tors. But Grants power to read
the "hand writing on the wall''
failed him, and the result was
that he not only sacrificed good
paying position for himself and
son, but has been compelled to
part with his home at sacrifice
price and move to another state
for work, where he will do we'll
to put in half time there instead
of full time here. So 1t can be
seen how those who claim to be-
long to the goody-goody class can
easily be deceived and led astray
by false doctrines.
One Of the former employees of
the st. Bernard Mining Company
at the South Diamond mine, who
sometime ago fell IN with bad
company, the U. M. W., now
works at a mine near Greenville,
in Muhlenberg county, and while
being interviewed last week,
took a gloomy view of future
prospects of his order, which, he
said, imposed such a tax on their
members by heavy assessments
that it was almost unbearable. For
awhile he and others made a kick
against the amount taken to pay
the check weighman and other
unjust assessments, but now just
shuts one eye, only looking at
the column which shows the
small balance left, when he goes
to draw his pay. The only hope
the members seem to have, he
says, is the success of the anthra-
cite strikers and many of them
doubt the successful termination
of the strike from their point of
view. He says that previous to
going to work where he now is,
and while he was trying to exist
on the handouts given by the
union, he became so disgusted at
the small amount received as his
share that he refused to accept
it. His conversation led one to
believe that he was thoroughly
disgusted with the U. M. w.
A few weeks ago Barnaby had
the report broadly circulated that
he had the miners of the Hender-
son mine sign the scale and
thereby recognize the union, but
not one time did he name the
number of men thus won over to
his cause. Last Sunday the writ
er saw the foreman of this mine
and asked him the number of
men employed therein. Imagine
his surprise when he was told
that only twelve men beside
himself constituted the mine
force, and in order to prepare for
the winter, the crew would prob
ably be increased to twenty-five
in a short time. Those outside
of the state and many thousands
within believed from Barnaby's
great boast that he had accom-
plished something in the way of
organizing mines, but when the
smallness of the number is con-
sidered, how could he have brass
enough to rush into print with 1t,
unless it was to deceive his blind
followers?

increased their orders that the
supply or output is far behind
the orders. Thus it is revealed
that the coal consumers, gener-
ally speaking, become indignant
and with their influence and
money justly resent interference
with a lawful business carried on
with a spirit of fair dealing to all.
Sensational rumors are afoat

even when one of the attaches,

the signature must have been
forged, for the reason that the
Marylander mentioned had been
