Down the Dust.

donough Craven last night at the University
Club by graduates of the United States Naval
Academy who were cadets with him at the

The special aim OF the department should

George Eward Kent. the POSTMASTER,
spoke Of Commissioner Craven rs follows:
His Honor the Mayor is to be con-
graduated upon his appointment Of Com
missioner Macdonough Craven as the head
OF the Department Of Street Cleaning.
His father. like the Mayors. was a promi-
nent officer in the civil war. His training
at Annapolis. his experience as constructing
engineer and that under the late Col. War
ing in the Street Cleaning Department have
especially fitted him for the Office Of Street
Cleaning Commissioner
Commissioner Craven said in part: Il fully
recognize the magnitude Of the work which
/ have 20 do. The problem before the
Street Cleaning Department at present is
the control, il possible. of the dust nuisance.
In dry weather il fills every ones eyes
and comes through the windows. and in
wet weather il forms into a sticky mud.
To work toward the control OF this lust
will be my main endeavor. II the dust
with "A proportionate amount OF microbes
can be taken up, | shall have made a distinct
advance in the sanitation of the city"

ANARCHISTS DIDN'T TALK.
Decided Not 20 Hold Meeting when They
saw Army Of slenths.

The Ben Ebri Literary Society failed
last night to carry out the programme
arranged for a lecture and literary enter
tainment' in Terrace Lyceum. 2Oe East
Broadway. The crowd was there, about
$50 strong. ready to be entertained, but
so were five sleuths from Police Head
quarters. whose special duty is the trailing
OF anarchists. Capt. Ferris and a dozen
policemen from the Madison street police
station.
The police say the hall was hired under
the name of the literary society simply
as a blind and that the meeting was really
an assembIage OF anarchists and its purpose
to raise funds for assisting several OF their
friends now under arrest. An admission
fee OF Is cents was charged, but when
the meeting was due to be opened, Detec-
tive Sergeant Braun, Roundsman Book
and Detectives Rafsky, WarZansky and
Schwartz Of Police He adquarters filed in
while Capt. Ferris and his men remained
outside.
Then there were several excited con-
ferences among the leaders and a bewhis-
kered Russian arose and in his
native tongue that as the speaker OF the
evening had a very bad cold the entertain
ment had been indefinitely postponed.
The money, however, was not refunded.
but holders OF tickets were instructed TO
keep on holding them and some day they
would be good. A number went around
TO 100 Forsyth street. but the police followed
them and no effort was made to hold a

MURDERER N NINE DEFIANT.
Orrcers Afraid TO Enter and wOrkmen
Remain idle Above Ground.

LINTON, Ind. Nov. 2e.-Louis Shulley,
the coal miner who murdered William
Walters because OF his losses in a poker
game yesterday morning, is still in the
Tower Hill mine defying arrest, and 800
miners spent the day in idleness through
fear to enter the mine, Shulley being at
the bottom Of the shaft with a loaded shot
gun and vowing he would kill the first man
to descend.
the officers Of the mine stood around
the mine all day, but they made no effort
10 enter. Attempts to smoke the murderer
out were ~unavailing as the straw and other
combustible material fired in the shaft
sent its smoke upward instead Of down
ward into the pit.
Shulley is familiar with every foot OF
the mine and as il communicates with other
shafts, with which the surface is honey
combed for miles, il would be possible for
him to travel for eighteen miles and come
out at some point other than that at which
he descended. His warnings shouted TO
people assembled around the shaft to-day
shows that he is still guarding the mine
at the bottom.
