replied that the miners did not wish
young boys in the mines, but that
the companies had encouraged it,
Mr.. Percy said that the Tennessee
company had endeavored 10 prevent
boys under IA years old working in
the mines, but that the union fell back
on the state law and insisted on the
12-year-old clause being part of each
new agreement.
Boy Workers Must BE II.
Mr.. Flynn, president of the miners
union for this district, declared that
the union would be glad to agree with
the commission in its findings, should
it make a rule that no boys under IA
be allowed in the mines. Representa-
tives of all the large companies who
were present, Immediately declared
themselves in favor of the 14-year
clause, and Judge Gray said the COM
mission on these assurances, would
make such a finding.
The testimony to-day showed that
any miner working twenty days a
month could earn 800 a month.
The operators having closed their ev-
idence yesterday afternoon before the
board of arbitration, the first witness
for the miners to-day was w. l.. Col
son, miner from Searles, who testi-
fed at considerable length with re-
gard to mining at that place. He was
put through a critical cross-examina-
ton by the attorneys for the operators.

Birmingham, Ala, Aug. 1S.-In the
course of the testimony for the miners
to-day, it developed under cross-ex-
animation that many miners are in the
habit of taking their boys into the
mines to work with them, each boy
being allowed a half turn on cars.
although his coal output goes under
the fathers check.
Controversy over the responsibility
for this class of labor led to an agree
ment between the miners and the prin-
cipal operators involved in the arbi-
tration, that the commission in its find
ing shall rule that no boys under IA
years of age be allowed to enter the
mines in this district.
Under the state law of Alabama it
has been possible to utilize the labor
of boys of IL years and over, in the
mines. The miners in all their con-
tracts have insisted on this rule being
incorporated, although some of the
companies, notably the Tennessee Coal,
Iron and Railroad Company, have pro-
tested.
Mr.. Percy, attorney for the Tennes-
see company, commented upon testi-
mony, stating that the miners were in
the habit of working their boys in the

LIVELY BLAZE AT BRUNSWICK.
For a Time 1t Looked as Though q
Block Would Go.


Brunswick, Ga, Aug. 17.-But for the
good work of citizens and the firemen
to-day. Brunswick would have wit
messed one of the most serious con-
fiagrations in years. BY hard work,
however, the damage will not amount
to more than $4,000 or $4,000.
The blaze was discovered in the sec
ond story of the building occupied by
H. v. Adler. When the department
arrived but few people thought that
the fire would amount to anything, and
only a little smoke was seen coming
from the building. The firemen search
ed over the building for fully half
an hour before the fire could be dis
covered. BY this time the building and
street was dense with smoke, and the
blaze was seen to burst through the
top of the buildings. 1t soon spread
over to McClures store, and then it
was that everybody predicted that the
entire block would be destroyed. Sew
eral streams of water were soon play
ing on the buildings and after two
hours hard work the blaze was ex-
tinguished. The building occupied by
Adler was badly Quilted and the en-
tire stock is badly damaged.
Mr.. Adler, when seen by our cor
respondent, stated that his stock was
valued at about $4,000, and he only
carried $1,000 insurance. The stock in
McClure's store was also badly DAM
aged by fire, and the loss will be
heavy. The store of B. H. Levy, Bros
& Co. also suffered slightly from wa
ter but the loss will only be light, and
is covered bv insurance.
1t is not known how the fire origi'
mated, but it was fortunate that the
blaze was extinguished before more Sc
rious damage was done.

Atlanta, Aug. 1S.-The following is
the Georgia crop report for the week
just ended:
Showers were general throughout
most of the state, but there are some
scattered localities where crops are
suffering for lack of moisture. Where
seasons were favorable a marked i'm
provement in crops is noted, and out

Cotton has made steady growth in
most counties, and is fruiting and
blooming, but opening slowly. Com
plants of rust, shedding and black
root are more numerous than at any
time this season. Caterpillars are
damaging the plants in several coun-
ties.
Fodder pulling is progressing rapid
ly, but has received temporary set
backs in sections frequented by show
ers. A good deal of fodder has al
ready been saved in fine condition.
In most counties the corn crop is
the finest in several years. Pastures
are excellent and stock is in good
healthy condition. Peas, cane, sweet
and Irish potatoes, ana rice are do
ing nicely with prospects favorable
for satisfactory yields. Late melons
now ripening are much superior in
quality to those of the earlier ship

Fighting Between Insurgents and
Troops Continues.
Constantinople, Aug. 1S-The Rus
sian squadron of warships, which left
Sebastopol yesterday, is expected to
arrive off the Turkish coast this after
noon to support the demands made on
Turkey by Russia, in connection with
the assassination, Aug. Z, of NJ. Rost-
kovski, the Russian consul at Mon
astir
The fact that Russia is about to
make a naval demonstration in Turk
ish4waters has been kept a profound
secret here, the public being entirely
ignorant of the Russian move.
The notification received here of the
sailing of the squadron was an un-
welcome surprise to the Turkish gov
eminent, which had pretended to be-
lieve that the Rostkovski incident had
been closed with the punishment of the
guilty parties.
The most recent advices received
here from Monastir were forwarded
Sunday night and announced that the
fighting between the insurgents and
Turkish troops in the vicinity of
Krushevo continued and that many
refugees from neighboring villages had
congregated at Monastir. Several viii
lagos inhabited by Greeks, it was add
ed had been set on fire by the insurg-
ents.
According to advices received at one
of the foreign embassies at CONSTANT

have been massacred throughout the
district of Monastir by insurgents,

CAUSES THAT LED
TO Midwife TRAGEDY.
Smith Was Advancing on Pope
When Shot TO Death.


When Shot to Death.
Midwife, Ca, Aug. 1S.-The follow
ing is fuller account of the Midwife
tragedy that the Morning News pub
lished yesterday:
p. b. Smith and ]. J. Pope had a
difficulty at Pope's house over a year
ago and Pope shot Smith. There has
been bad feeling between them ever
since. They met here yesterday even
ing, both of them heavily armed. Each
had a large pistol buckled around
him and Pope had a double barrelled
shotgun under his buggy seat.
They passed each other several times
on the street and at different stores in
town without speaking. At 4:SO o'clock
Pope was standing near his buggy on
one of the principal streets. Smith
walked out of c. A. Jackson's store
and stood looking at Pope.
Pope asked him why he was watch
ing him so closely and Smith replied
that he had a right to watch him for
he had shot him in the back once.
Pope called Smith a id liar.
Smith drew his pistol and advanced
on Pope. Pope pulled his shotgun
from under his buggy seat and shot
Smith twice. Smith fell, but got on
his feet and began shooting at Pope.
who was walking away from him.
Smith fired five times without effect.
He fell the second time before his pis-
tol was empty.
He was moved to DIR. Harris drug
store. where he died in twenty min
utes. AS soon as the Doctors exam
ined him they said nothing could be
done for him. He only spoke once. He
told one of his friends that Pope had
killed him.
A very sad feature in the affair was
that Smiths little son, about 10 years
old, was present and saw his father
shot, and was in the room with him
when he died.
After shooting Smith, Pope walked
off, reloaded his gun as he went, and
when the town marshal started to-
wards him he pointed his gun at him
and told him not to come any nearer.
Pope jumped in his buggy and drove
out of town, after Smith was taken
into the drug store. A party of three
took buggy and started in pursuit of
Pope. They found, after going
about three miles, that Pope was out
travelling them and so they returned to
town.
Pope telephoned from his home, six
miles from Midwife, in thirty minutes
after the shooting and asked how
Smith was. On being told that Smith
was dead, he said he was ready to
surrender to proper authorities, and
telegraphed the sheriffs of Burke and
Jefferson counties to come and arrest
him. He also telegraphed Judge
Gambol of Louisville to retain him for
his defense. Everything is quiet here
now.
