Insane: That He Should be
Sent to an AsyIem.
tSpecial to News and Observer. J

Asheville, n c., Nov. 25.-When court
convened this morning for tie second
days trial of Dr. J. V. JAY, who MUIR
dered his three children at Rarnardsville
several weeks age, the court room was
crowded, many ladies again being present
to hear the testimony. 81
Mrs. Jay, for the defense. who was on
the witness stand yesterday afternoon
when court adjourned, resumed her testi-
mony today.
Upon cross examination Solicitor Brown
asked her if she thought her husband
should be put in Jail. Mrs. Jay replied
that she did not; that she thought he
should not be punished but should be sent
to an insane asylum. Mrs. Jay was
shown the hammer with which her hus-
band had killed the children and was
asked if she could identify it.. She said
she did not know whether it was the ham,
mer or not; that there was q hammer in
the house, but that she could not say
that this was the one.
Judge Carter, OF counsel for the defense
asked Mrs Jay what her husband whip
ped one of the children for the night
before the murder. To this question the
witness replied that it was for the pur-
pose of making the children obey.
Mrs. Jay said that Thomas Dillingham;
was az much to blame as her husband: ;
that every time Dillingham; called at her
house he and her husband drank together.
She several times refused to answer the
questions OF the solicitor. and frequently
would make reply Nby saying: Il don't
know.
The next witness called was John Ingle,
witness for the defense who lived about
a mile from Jay. Inglc said that he had
known Jay for thirteen years; that Jay
was his family physician, and that on the
morning of the murders Jays appearance
was very strange, but that he had talked
very cody and deliberately. Several
other witnesses for the defense We're cali
ed for the purpose of establishing Jay 3
insanity, he witnesses swore that the day
Jay committed the crime they thought he
was insane.

ROBBERY OF 81, 400.
Men HoId-Up Boy and Secure Big
Money from Him.

New York. April 4.-Under the walls
of the Tombs prison, Warren Smith a
4-year-old boy, employed as messen-
ger by Sargent & Co., hardware manu-
facturers was held up by two men to-
day and robbed of 81, 400 belonging to his
employers. The boy was returning from
the Mercantile National Bank where he
had been sent to cash a 81 400 check and
was carrying the money in large
leather wallet chained to his waist.
The boys story as told to the police,
is that the robbers, after holding him
up, dragged him into the rear room of
a store nearby, pointed a revolver at
him, took the money from him and tied
his hands with q handkerchief and his
feet with towel. AS soon as they left
him, he managed to free himself and
notified his employers of it.

Philadelphia, April A disagree
ment between the mine operators and
miners today regarding the strike COM
missions ruling on the number of hours
to constitute a days work, resulted in
the closing of numerous collieries
throughout the anthracite coal region.
The greatest dissatisfaction was ex-
pressed in the lower region and in
Pottsville, Shamokin Mahanoy City and
contiguous towns, a majority of the
mines were idle a portion of the day.
At some of the collieries. the men
laid down their tools after they had
worked eight hours and at others they
remained in the mines nine hours. but
refused to work ten hours when reques-
ted to DO so by the superintendent.
The opera tors assert that they will
pay the men only for the actual time
q viola ation of the agreement.
Meetings of the local unions were
held and in a majority of cases, the
miners decided to return to work Mon
day and submit the question to joint
conciliation committees of operators and
mine workers, as suggested by the COM
mission. Officials of the Union as such
are not permitted to interfere in the
controversy.
Executive Board of Mine Workers to
Meet Monday.
Indianapolis. Ind, April A call has
been issued for meeting Of the ma
tional executive board of the Mine
Workers at the headquarters in this
city next Monday. There are twenty
three members and they will probably
be in session ten days. President Mitch
ell and Secretary Wilson are getting
their reports ready. 1t is announced
that the principal business of the
meeting is to make arrangements to or
ganize West Virginia.
Secretary Wilson says the miners are
In better position than ever before to
wage a successful campaign in West
Virginia. I'VE have already succeed
ed, he said, ''in getting a good footing
there, as we have organized the Kama
waha district, but we still have
strike in the New River field, but this
is part of the state We have not organ
lied.
The fact that West Virginia was not
organized has been used against miners
in their national conventions and has
kept them from getting as advantage
Gus a settlement as they might have
obtained under different conditions.

The Bambara Has Probably Found
cred at Sea.

London, April At is believed that
the steamer Bambara on her first trip
from Marseilles to Dakar, French West
Africa with a cargo of 10000 pounds of
gun powder and two cases of dynamite,
has been blown up at sea and has foun-
dered. Lloyds says there is reason to
fear that this has occurred, although
no confirmation is at hand. The Bam-
bara has not been reported from Glib.
raltar, although she should have been
sighted there March 81. The captain of
the French schooner, Assumption, of
Marseilles, reports that on March 2Sth,
when sixty miles off Iledu PALMER, he
saw a brilliant flash of light which was
followed by a loud explosion. The cap
tain of the Nina makes similar report.
The crew Of the Bambara numbered
thirty-five men and she carried six
passengers.

St. Louis, April 4.-After four months
of the Wabash road and the officials of
that system, during which, at one time,
a strike was imminent and was preven-
ted only by an injunction restraining
the employees from vacating their
posts, and which injunction was dis
solved last Wednesday, the differences
were finally adjusted and the contro
versy effectually and satisfactorily set
tied this evening. Officials of the
brotherhoOds representing the employ
ees declare the settlement is eminently
satisfactory and is a sweeping victory
for organized labor.
The Wabash officials declare that all
been finally terminated in a satisfac-
tory manner and that their future re-
lations in all probability will be most
harmonious. The following are the
points embraced in the settlement:
Twelve per cent. increase for conduc-
tors. brakemen and baggagemen in tho
passenger service and fifteen per cent.
for conductors and brakemen in the
freight service. over the rates which
existed January l, 1902 west of the Mis-
sissippi river. r
For the firemen, increases were grant
ed on the Canadian lines in accordance
with the Canadian Southern division of
the Michigan Central. On the lines in
the United States material increases
and improvements in the working con-
ditions were granted the firemen.
East of the Mississippi river the rates
will be brought up to this standard
when competing lines in the same ter
ritory shall grant similar increase.
The various yardmen receive sub
stantial increase, varying in different
localities.
There is an entire revision of rules
applying to all classes of train service.
This was the main bone of contention
and was granted in its entirety.
Ever since the injunction was dis
solved last Wednesday, counsel for both
sides have been in almost continuous
conference and every effort was put
forth to effect an amicable settlement
without resOrting to a strike. Both
sides have displayed the greatest fair
ness in considering the differences and
both were anxious from the start to
reach a conclusion, without radical ac-
ton. All of today was occupied in con-
ference and at o'clock tonight the
matter was practically settled and it
remained for signatures to be affixed
officially to terminate the trouble. BY
s o'clock tonight, the papers had been
signed and the Wabash wage contrO-
Versy was at an end.

But the Fall of the River Will Pre-
vent Long Period of Overflow.

New Orleans, April with the river
practically stationary and no further
breaks in the levees, there were no de-
velopments Of Importance in the flood
conditions in Louisiana today. Between
Baton Rouge and New Orleans. the
embankments were subjected to an un-
usual test by a terrific blow that lasted
from Friday night to Saturday morn
ing and lashed the river into a fury,
but the whole line held and there is
still a feeling of hope that the lands
along the lower river will escape devas-
tation. The work of Strengthening goes
on without interruption.
Favorable progress was made at Hy-
melia during the day. The water from
the crevasse continues to fall slowly
behind the leveeS.
No effort is being made to do any
thing with the Holly Brook break.
The crevasse there is widening, but the
river is falling and it is not expected
that the period of overflow will be of
long Duration
The river here this morning stood at
POL. 1t was 202 at nightfall. still a
tenth under the highest record this
year.
