The Latest Telegraphic News OF the
Day Boiled Down to a
Focus For Busy
Readers.

Jackson, Miss, March 9.-The
| State Senate this afternoon passed a
bill making June 3rd the birthday
of Jefferson Davis, legal holiday in
Mississippi.
We don't blame the people of In
diana for wanting to send Governor
Durbin to the senate. They would
be justified in resorting to even
harsher methods than this to get the
governor out of the state.
Now that the winter is over, con-
gress may get up nerve enough to go
for the coal trust. Anti coal trust
legislation can harm no one during
the summer and will be good cam
paign argument.
Washington, March 9.-Senator
Tillman, of South Carolina, is very
ill with serious throat trouble. His
friends are much concerned, as it is
impossible for him to swallow and a
little liquid nourishment is all that
he can take.
Pittsboro, N. c., March 9.-Wil-
liam Smith, who was shot at Gold
stone last week by Ed. Dowd, died
this morning from the effect of the
wound. An inquest will be held.
Dowd is at large but efforts are be-
ing made to capture him.
London, March "a special dis
patch from Paris announces that the
French steamer Cambodge (of 1856
tons, which left Rangoot February
II for Cochin China and European
ports has been wrecked in a storm
off the coast of Cochin China. The
Cambodge carried 100 passengers,
mostly Annamese, and so of them
were drowned.
Raleigh, n. c., March 13.-The
Agricultural Department is deter
mined to put a stop to the sale in
this State of adulterated food for
cattle, horses, hogs, etc. There are
two laws which give authority as to
this. One of these permits confsca-
ton of stuff which is adulterated,
and the other gives authority to
prevent its sale in the State. 1t is
said that stuff made by some mills
in Virginia and Tennessee is shame
fully adulterated.
Macon, Ga, March "a Colum-
| bus, Ga., dispatch to the Telegraph
| says a marble monument has been
| erected by the city to the memory OF
Bragg Smith, the negro laborer who
lost his life last September in a
heroic but fruitless effort to rescue
City Engineer Robert L. Johnson
from street excavation. On one
side is an inscription setting forth
the fact, while on the other side is
chiseled,
"Honor and shame from no cOndi-
tion rise;
"Act well thy part, there all the
honor lies.'
Salisbury, March 13.-The young
desperate who shot two officers at
II O'Clock last night when detected
in an attempt to burglarize D. A.
Atwel's hardware store has not yet
been apprehended, but his identity
is believed to have been fixed with
certainty in the person of Ernest
Murphy. Young Murphy had beer
released from the city lookup, where
he had been incarcerated for an as
! sault and robbery, only yesterday
afternoon. He is one of the most
dangerous members of gang O.
young criminals who have been fre
quently before the courts for rob
berry, store-breaking and similar of
fenses. Hitherto they have escaped
lightly, but public feeling is now
aroused to the point of demanding
employment of the sternest meas
] ures the law allows.

Oyster Bay, L. L., Sept. 6.-LabOr
Day in the Presidents home town was

Strike Nearing an End.

Chicago, Sept. 5.--As result of
conference Sunday night between the
representatives of the unions involved in
the packing house strike aud of the plants,
the end of the long labor struggle is set
for the middle of this week. An uuder-
standing was arrived lat by which the
men will vote on the question calling off
the strike. According to the plans
made, they will be instructed to cast
their ballots in the affirmative. The plans
we're made with secrecy, and care. They
originated week ago in Chicago with GER
tian packers and conservative labor lead
ers. Fearing the execution OF the scheme
would fall through, if attempted in Chic
ago, it was determined to make the first
move in New York. The ending of the
strike in the eastern city by the vote of
the men on Sunday was the first step.
The settlement there made is the same as
that now proposed tor Chicago. Fifty
live stock handlers called on Super
intendent Ashby, of the Union Stock
Yards and Transit Company, and asked
that they be given their old positions.
Mr.. Ashby complied. This is the first
organized break in the handlers ranks.

Preparing for the Strike.

New York, Sept 5.-The Inter
borough Rapid Transit Company is
working tooth and nail today preparing
for the seemingly inevitable strike of the
employees of the elevated railroad. A
compromise of the trouble seemed GER
tain yesterday, but the employees were
not satisfied with the compromise made
by their committee with the officials of
the company. The men insist that the
demand for SO. so for a nine hour day for
the motormen in the subway be granted.
Officials of the company are steadfast in
their determination not to grant the de-
mand, and though another conference
of August Belmont aud the company's
officials with the heads of the affected
unions will be held today, it is not likely
that the present deadlock will be broken.
Meanwhile the company is making every
preparation for a strike. Notices were
sent out to five hundred men to report at
the offices of the company on Dey street
this morning at 10 o'clock, and long be-
fore that hour crowds of men swarmed
in the offices. They were told to go to
work at moments notice. James Far
ley, the strike breaker, is also here and
spent busy morning, rounding up a
lot of men whom Farley said he was
getting together in case of an emergency.
The executive committees OF the ele-
waited mems unions appointed a COM
mittee this morning to wait upon the
Interborough Company and present the
final demand for 49, so for nine-hour
day for the motormen in the subway,
with several minor demands. The CON-
mittee saw August Belmont, General
Manager Bryan and Superintendent
Hedley. The committee we're told that
an answer to their demands would be
forthcoming this afternoon.

FOURTEEN PERSONS PERISH.

Fourteen persons were killed and
nearly score injured in a ve-story
double tenement in Attorney street,
New York, at au early hour yesterday
morning. The dead include four women,
one man and nine children, ranging in
age from months to II years. Many
of the injured it is thought will die.
Among the injured were five fremen,
who were on a fourth floor balcony,
when it fell with them. The small
number of men among the killed and in
ured was due TO the fact that most of
the men who lived in the building, fol-
lowing the Attorney street custom in
hot weather, were asleep on the roof,
while but few of the women and
children were there. Those on the
roof were unable to escape by descend
ing through the burning building, and
made their way to safety over neigh
boring roofs. Meanwhile the members Of
their families who had remained in their
rooms found escape cut of, and panic
reigned throughout the structure. The
fire started at 3 O'Clock in the morning.
When the fremen reached the scene
some of the tenants were jumping from
the windows and from the ends of fire.
escapes that reached only to the second
floor; others were crouching in the
smoke in the small rooms and narrow
halls. A number OF daring rescues were
made by fremen and police, and the
conditions under which they worked
we're unusual and difficult. Twelve fam
lilies lived in the house. The fire is
supposed to have been caused by the
explosion of lamp that bad been left
to light the hall on the second floor and
the sleeping tenants were not aroused
until the hallway was ablaze and escape
through the building cut off.

MAYOR of Charlottesville, was shot and
killed at $3.50 o'clock last uight by an
unknown man. Mr.. and Mrs. McCue
had Just returned from church. The
latter was repairing to retire, and her
husband started to the bathroom. As
Mr.. McClue entered the hall leading
from the bedchamber he met face to face
a man carrying bag and baseball bat.
The intruder struck at Mr.. McCue, but
missed him, the latter endeavOring to
get back to the bedchamber for his shot
gun, The unknown man seized Mr..
McCue, who had gotten his hands on the
gun. when he was struck a vicions blow
in the face with the bat and knocked
unconscious. Mrs. McCue heard the
struggle and rushed to the hallway. The
man had secured the weapon and shot
her twice, one load entering the left
breast. close to the heart, and the second
the left eve. Mrs. McCue managed to
reach the bathroom, and there fell dead.
Mr.. McCue recovered consciousness, and
with his four young children, found his
wife dead. An alarm was given at once
and the house surrounded, but no trace
of the murderer could be found. The
McCue residence is in the heart of Char
lottesviile. Mr.. McCue does not know
whether his assailant was white or ne
gro. Robbery is believed to have beed
the mans motive. Mrs. McCue was
formerly Miss Fannie Crawford, of Au-
gusta county, Va, and was a social
leader.
Public excitement is intense, and a
lynchiug is likely if the murderer is
caught.

The Approaching Battle"

With trihing changes in the condi.
tons, the problems which the two COM
manders will attempt to solve this week
during the Manassas maneuvres are
identical. On Tuesday and Wednesday
the Blues, under General Grant, will
take the initiative. They occupy
Manassas, and an imaginary di-
vision of the Blues will be stationed
at Fairfax, between Manassas and
Washington. In like manner the
Browns, under General Bell, will be
concentrated in front of Thoroughfare
Gap, Is miles to the westward, with an
imaginary division in their rear, over in
the Shenandoah valley at Front Royal.
1t will be General Grants duty so to
proceed as to prevent possible junction
of his foes. On Thursday and Friday
General Bell will assume the aggressive
and seek to annihilate the division oil
Blues at Manassas before reinforcements
can arrive. The chief umpire, having
twenty-five aides in each army for pur-
poses of observation will base his de-
cision on their reports.

AT THE beginning of the present year
Ahmet q noted French astrologer; Jou
bert, the weather expert of the Eliiel
Tower in Paris; Ange Gabrielle, Ia
nous clairvoyant; "Sister Marie" who
sees visions; Astrologer Jacob and others
made dismal forecasts for 1904. Among
the events foretold were the death OF
Paul Kruger, a Irightiul conflict between
labor and capital in the United States,
during which wholesale confagrations
would occur in the principal cities OF
the country; Japan was to humble Rus
STA. a horrible massacre was to occur IN
China, Europe was to face the yellow
peril, raeteOrologically disasters were to
be unparalleled and President Roosevelt
would fall sick. The horoscopes showed
financial disasters and many other
human woes. The death of Kruger,
which was imminent when the forecasts
were made, is about the only event that
has occurred, although, from present
indications, the prophecy concerning
japan seems probable.

Labor Day Parades.

New York, Sept. 5.-Sons of labor to
to the number of 40, 900 marched through
New York's streets today. Grand Mar
shall James B. McCabe, of the Central
Federated Union, led the parade. To.
days parade, according to the pro-
gramme of the Central Federated Union,
was an exhibition of the strength ofor-
gained labor in this city.
Chicago, Sept. with an estimated
number of twenty to thirty thousand men
in line, as compared with rs, 600 on the
same day last year, the annual parade of
Chicago's Backbone of Industry" was
started this morning. Thisyear's labor
day demonstration was departure from
precedent, the Chicago Federation Of
Labor having decided against parade,
declaring for an outing where union men
could spend the day with their families,
and consequently arranged for a picnic
at Thornton Park. The proceeds will be
turned over to the striking butchers
Notwithstanding this action on the part
of the federation, anumber of unions de-
cided to show their strength and arrange
ments were complicated for parade.
Cincinnati, O., Sept. 5.-Labor Day
was celebrated here by parade. Seventy
unions and a number of bands we're in
line All were uniformed. An outing
at Chester Park followed.
Toledo, o., Sept 5.-0wing to an objection
raised by members of the moulders' union,
the employees Of the s. NJ. Jones Company, OF
which the late Mayor Jones was the head,
were not allowed to participate in today's
| labor parade. The moulders have long had
a grievance against the golden rule" shop
but heretofore the men have not been barred
from the parades The Jones Company men
today held a parade of their own. As an evil
dence Of their feeling the golden rule" boy
carried banner on which was painted, I'VE
would have preferred to march with the boy
but the C. l.. U. would not grant us the priv
| ilege." The usual labor day parade was made
I'D of about 5000 marchers.
Newcastle, Pa, Sept. 5.-The celebration
of Labor Day began with parade which
| trayersed q line of march about three miles il
length. Several thousand men were in line
