arThe County Commissioner.
met Monday TO receive bids for the
rock roads voted foI BY Bainbridgs
township. A number of contractors
we're present but had pooled their
interests, and would not put in a
bid. The Commissioners deter.
mined to e-advertise the letting for
Saturday July 18th. As the Com.
mIssioners can change the first or.

be to the interest of the taxpayers,
Gas the building of rock roads en-

lei the contract at the present time

ter the roads are completed-should
they prove to be as good as claimed
then let q contract for the Others
An extremely costly experiment Of
this kind would be thus avoided,
and if the experiment should prove
bad, the commissioners would de
serve the hearty thanks the people
would then give them, while if it
turns out good the delay would be
the only loss.

INQUEST ON GONZALES DEATH.
Jury Takes but Five Minutes to Render
q Verdict.

Columbia, S. c., Jan. 22.-Less than
100 people were present at the inquest
in the Gonzales tragedy tonight State
Senators Brown and Talbird, who were
with Tillman when he fired the shot,
and County Physician Knowlton, who
nerforn1ed the autopsy, were examined.
The verdict, found in less than five
minutes after the jury retired, was a
Main statement that ''the deceased, N.
q Gonzales, came to his death from a
punshot wound inflicted by the hand of
James H. Tillman, on the 18th of jan
uary, 1907
Senator Talbird was the most import
ant witness. New matter in his testi-
mony was that he first saw Mr.. Gonza-
les who had approached within ten or
fifteen feet and Tillman said: "How are
YOU, Mr.. Gonzales?'
The latter made no reply but turned
10 the left to the inside Of the sidewalk
TiIlman being on the outside. Tillman
said. "I received your message" and
almost instantly fired. Talbird rushed
to Gonzales and exclaimed: This must
stop"
Gonzales said: "Here I am; finish me"
or something to that effect. The other
testimony added nothing to the facts
already known.

WRECK OF THE LEYDEN.

Newport, R. J., Jan. 22.-The torpedo
boat Mckee, which was sent from the
torpedo station to the assistance Of the
wrecked tug Leyden, returned from
Block Island tonight, bringing the
crew of the Leyden. None of the men
on board was injured, although all were
exhausted from exposure and from their
battle in the sea. Lieutenant Wells, in
his report of the disaster to Lieutenant
Commander Fletcher of the torpedo
station, states that the Leyden is rest
ing easily on her side and the chances
are that she may be saved. Her hull
is flooded and everything below is
awash. The crew saved the logbook and
all the Leyden's papers. Her guns,
ammunition and equipments, with a
portion of the mems belongings will also
be saved. Lieutenant Commander
Fletcher will go to Block Island to-
morrow and look the wreck over him
self, and see if it is possible to have the
tug raised and will report to the navy

BLAME FOR COAL SHORTAGE
EACH SIDE PLACES RESPONSE
BILTTY ON THE OTHER.

Question Discussed Before the Anshra-
cite Coal CommlssiOn-Mr siitche!rs
Ready to Go TO Work Challenged
Wage statement Presented.
Philadelphia, Jan. 22.-The question
of who is responsible for the apparent
shortage in the supply of anthracite
coal was the subject of considerable de-
bate to-day by the attorneys represent
ing the parties before the strike COM
mission. 1t was testified to that the
miners are not obeying President
MitchelIs request to make extra efforts
to produce more coal to relieve the sit
uation. This was followed up by James
H. Torrey and Everett Warren, both of
Scranton, who represent several of the
large companies, challenging the cor
rectness of Mr.. MitchelPs statement
that 5000 men are idle and ready to go
to work. c. S. Darrow, for the miners,
replied that he would show that it was
the operators and not the men who
were responsible for the shortage in the
production. "If I don't" he said, II
will ask the commission to find against
u.s."
The Lehigh Valley Coal company clos
ed its case to-day and the Lehigh and
Wilkesbarre company consumed a few
hours in presenting its evidence. This
company closed shortly before adjourn
ment, and the independent operators of
the upper region then took up the oper-
ators' side of the controversy. 1t is ex-
pected the hearings will last ten more
days. The commission Informed the at
torneys on both sides this afternoon
that it would like them to confine their
final arguments to about four or five
days. The lawyers will agree among
themselves as to the division of time.
The miners want half the time allowed
by the commission.

Continued BombRrhmeMt lucoE1pre-
hensfb;e 90 Officials.
Washington, Jan 22.-The continued
bombardment of Fort San Carlos by
the Germans seems quite Incompetent
sible to the officials of the administra-
ton in Washington. They are casting
about for motive for this hostile ac-
tion but declare themselves unable to
find one, unless it be a simple desire on
the part of the Germans to make a
show of force and recover what little
prestige may have been lost in the re-
treat of the ship Panther when she was
compelled to retire after shelling the
same fort several days ago. This last
act of the Germans, it is suggest ed,
adds d picturesque feature to the whole
blockading affair and gives to them an
opportunity to demonstrate the effec-
tiyeness of Germans naval strength on
the Venezuelan coast The lombard
ment has created a decidedly unfavor-
able impression here. and feeling of
genuine regret at a time when negotia-
tions looking to settlement of the diff
ferences between Venezuela and her
European claimants seems almost un-
der way.

which was continued from 3 until 6
o'clock. The Vineta and Fake were
close together and nearer to the fort
than the Panther The first two ves-
sells, at range of four and one-half
miles, poured in a continuous rain of
shell upon the fort and only stopped
firing with the advent of dusk at 6
o'clock. At this hour the German ves-
sells retired seaward after having made
second Intellectual attempt to land
troops in the village of San Carlos, sit
uated at the base of the fort.
At o'clock Wednesday afternoon the
correspondent, who was accompanied
by a government telegrapher bearing
a telegram from President Castro to
the commandant of San Carlos, landed
on the island and entered the fort. The
walls of the fort are terribly battered,
and there were many evidences of the
fierce engagement. Twelve dead Vene-
zuelan soldiers were counted behind the
ramparts and fifteen other men, seri-
ously wounded, were lying on a low
platform.
The fort is literally covered with
pieces of broken shells. 1t was seen
that great many Of the German
shells had not exploded. The magazine
had very narrow escape, two shells
having come within an ace of penetrat-
ing it, The walls of the fort which
face towards the entrance Of the lake
suffered particularly and were greatly
damaged. 1t is estimated by the COM
mandant, General Bello, that the Ger
man ships fired more than 1000 shells
at Fort San Carlos.
The gunboats Panther and Fake, it
is said, have succeeded in passing the
fort and have entered Lake Maracaibo
and have captured the Venezuelan gun
boat Miranda.

Strikers Agree to Ciergymen's Plan of
Arbitration.

Waterbury, Jan. 22-To-day saw no
change in the situation of the strike Of
the motormen and conductors of the
Connecticut Railway and Lighting
company. More passengers patronized
| the cars, handled by non-union men,
| than at any previous time, and no vio
| lence whatever is reported. President
| A. M. Young arrived in the city at Z
o'clock tonight, and in company with
Manager Sewell was in conference with
| Colonel Burpee, attorney for the COM
pany, and number of the manufac-
turers and business men of the city un-
til midnight.
Two more lines will be opened to-
morrow. No cars have been run at
night, for fear of trouble, and none
have been sent through what is known
as the Brooklyn district, because of the
rough elements that would cause all
possible disturbance.
Tonight Rev. DR.. Anderson, Rev. Mr.
Stockdale and Rev. Mr.. Zeither, went
to the executive committee of the
strikers and made a proposition that
Their plan is to have a committee of
three citizens to whom both parties to
the controversy shall submit their
cases; the decision of the arbitration
committee to be final.
The matter was submitted to mass
meeting of the strikers and they voted
to accept the plan and empha tically
stated that they would abide by the
decision of the arbitration committe.
The officials of the railway company
have not yet been approached in regard
to the matter. 1t is believed that Rev.
w. j. Slocum, pastor Of the Immacu-
late Conception r, c, church, and Rev.
DR.. Anderson of the First Congrega-
tionaI church will be two of the COM
mittee. The third member has not been

endorsed in every way the views of
President Raymond regarding the
