In desperate battle with Winchcsters
between striking West Virginia coal
miners and force of United States dep
uty marshals Wednesday nine persons
were killed and fifteen wounded.
The battle, which occurred st Wright, S

when $50 striking miners attempted to
preyent 100 federal officers who had been
specially Sworn in to serve them with
injunction papers The posse Of depu-
ties was met by the strikers, who were
armed with rifles They defed arrest
and warned the officers against any at

ed their defiance with hostilities, open
ing fire upon the force of deputies. The
deputies responded and the battle ragged
furiously for several minutes. Special
Officer Howard Smith Of the Chesapeake

BIG ROBBERY SCHEME
BELL BOYS HAD EXTENSIVE SYS-
TEN PLANNED.
Plot to Loot All Hotels in the Country
; Discovered by New York Police
Pennsylvania, New York and Ohio
Towns to Be Linked by Trolley.

The New York police announce that
they have secured confession from
Louis f. Messier, the 18-year-old bell
boy, who was arrested charged with rob-
hing hotels. The confession, they say,
shows that Messier and Cullen, another
bell boy, had planned to rob hotels all
over the country. Maps and diagrams OF
4he interiors of the hotels, the names OF
prominent guests who made habit OF
stopping in them, and a synopsis written
in shorthand, under the name OF each
1lotel, describing its plan, were found on
both the prisoners. \ diagram of the
route of the coronation procession or
King Edward, with the names OF proml-
aent Americans present, and lists OF the
1ewclry worn by them at the celebration,
was also found in a trunk in the pris-
oners' rooms. In his confession Messier
is said to have told the police that the
graft in America had been so good
that the trip to Europe had been aban-
doned. 1t Is said that Messier and Cul-
len secured $4,000 in property from ho-
tells and clubs in New York.

LABOR FAMINE IN THE WEST.
Railroads Are Compc led to Abandon
Large Irlproyer IA etlts.


Because Of difficulty, amounting al
most to an impossibility, in obtaining
competent- unskilled labor, the western
railroads are seriously hampered in their
efforts to improve their lines. Officials
of the Chicago. Milwaukee and st. Paul
Railroad. for this reason, have abandon
ed temporarily all contemplated improve
ments that are not absolutely necessary
to the physical we'll being of the sys-
tenn. Most important Of the improve
ments which will be abandoned is the
double tracking of the st. Paul from
South Milwaukee to La Crosse, dis
lance Of 107 miles. Of this about so
miles has already been completed. The
same policy will he pursued in regard to
other extensive alterations that We're
planned.
1t is understood that the Kansas City
extension is so nearly completed that it
will not be abandoned. On the contrary
an effort will be made to complete the
work as rapidly as possible. The i'm
provements that will be given up call
for the expenditure Of nearly SoO00,O0O
The same situation that has SO handi-
capped the St Paul also confronts the
other railroads Of the Middle West The
complaint is made that laborers who
apply for work il Chicago are little bet
ter than tramps, who find it easier to
be transported from one place to another
as employees for a railroad than to fol-
low the customary mode Of travel adopt
ed by the vagrant.
After they have reached the desired
goal and have worked for a day OF two
they draw their pay and leave. The diff
Guilty in obtaining laborers has driven
up the wages of this class of workmen
to such q point that railroad operatives
have decided to decrease the demand for
labor that the price Of this work may
decrease.
The Chicago and Alton Railroad, fol-
lowing the example of the ST Paul, has
ordered work stopped on extensive dou-
BILE tracking that called for an expendi-
turde of approximately $2,O00,O00, and
it is expected that other lines will adopt
similar measures.

PLAN GREAT ELECTRIC LINE.
exas, Iowa and Minnesota Railway Co.
to Run from Lakes to Gulf.

An electric railway. chiefly for freight
business, but which will eventually carry
passengers, is to be built from Duluth to
the Gulf of Mexico. John w. Gates ana
leading capitalists of the twin cities
and the East are identified with the EN-
terprise MI Gates is said to be the
real head. The estimated cost Will De
$70,O0O,00O. There will be double
track, and the route will be through st.
Paul and Minneapolis to Des MONIES,
thence to st. Louis and on to the gull.
The company will be known as the Tex
as, Iowa and Minnesota Electric Rall-
way Company. Thomas Lowry OF Min
neapolis, president of the 500 Railway
and of the Twin City Rapid Transit
Company, and ex-senator w. b. W ash
burn are among those connected with
the enterprise. There will be separate
company in each State through which the
line passes. Later these will be consol-
idated into one large company. The road
will furnish a new gateway to Europe Tor
the vast exports of the West and North
west and the great railway combines
now existing will be at least partly brok-
en-, so far as control Of the transporta-
ton situation is concerned.

PoLYGAMY IN NUTMEG STATE.
Rev. II. L. Hutchins Says Plural Mar
rage Exists in State.

Rev. II. L. Hutchins, who has been
making a tour of that State in the inter-
ests of the Connecticut Bible Society,
read a paper at meeting of pastors in
New Haven that startled his hearers.
Mr.. Hutchins said polygamy is practiced
in the eastern part of Connecticut. The
degeneracy of the inhabitants of the
town referred to, Mr. Hutchins said. was
productive of murder and other crimes.
Another feature of life in that section
and in the northwestern part of the State
was the existence of q class of illiterates.
The speaker thought the inefliciency Of
the country school was largely respon-
sibzIe for such conditions, and he believ-
ed the church was not holding its own in
these districts

Men Coming from Nome Compelled to
Leave Papers Behind Them.
Behind decision handed down by the
United States Court of Appeals IN San
Francisco in the case of X. ID. Me
Doughall against the Northwestern Com
mercial Company there is pathetic
story of suffering. The case was brought
by McDoughall, who recovered 1uds-
ment in the second district Of Alaska
The appeal was taken to the Appellate
Court. All the papers were sealed IN
box and given in charge Of Charles Low,
who started from Nome overland for
Seattle. In the party were Low, DE-
Miller and man named Griswold. When
Illiamma Bay was reached DR.. Miller
persisted from the cold. The others de-
cided that their only chance to reach Sc
attic was in leaving their membranes
behind, so they pushed Oh after burylng
the box containing the records OF the
case. An effort was made to perfect the
record from memory, but it was futile
and the court was forced to dismiss the
appeal.

That Is Chicago's Consurn ption of Live
Stock Last Year.
Chicago's consumption Of live stock in
1902 amounted to 12,J39,717 head, ac-
cording to the December summary Of in
ternal commerce just issued by the treas
ury bureau Of statistics. The receipts at
the five leading stockyards of Chicago,
Kansas City, Omaha, st. Louis and ST.
Joseph during the year were: Cattle, T.
710,559 head; hogs, 1864 100. The av-
erage weight Of the 7,SG5,23S hogs re-
ceived in Chicago was 22O pounds. The
contributions of live stock to railway
traffic at these five markets amounted to
6S8,245 cars, compared with G22,352
cars in 1901, and 5S2,2 cars i'll 1900.
1t would thus seem that the high tide
of live stock traffic was reached in 1901.
The stock of cut meats at thesfve mar
kets of Chicago, Kansas City. Omaha,
st. Louis and milwaukee, Dec. 81. 1901
amounted to 2G9, 1877, 147 pounds. On the
corresponding date Of 1902 the stocks
were 10, 029, 100 pounds.

the trolley line swapping like light wires.
The damage will reach 100000.
