TO the story of the Negro.

Charles Weiss, thirty years old, brother
of Amelia Weiss. who was with John w
Mullen. when he was assaulted and prob
ably fatally wounded late Sunday after
noon in Dead Mans Hollow. about a
quarter Of a mile west Of the Aqueduct
Bridge. was positively identified by Null
len last night as his assailant.
Weiss. who is the oldest brother Of the
sixteen,year-old girl. was taken. with
four other men of about the same build
and similar appearance. before Mullen on
his cot in the Georgetown University
Hospital, and he was positively identified.
He was brought from the First precinct
to the hospital in the custody Of Desk
Sergeant Gray
Declares Innocence
Weiss declares that he is innocent, and
gave a verbal alibi TO Crandal Mackey,
Commonwealth attorney Of Alexandria
County. who was present Weiss says
that he will be able TO prove that he was
at home with his wife. From their own
stories and the statement of Miss Weiss,
the two men were unknown 20 each other.
/ The scene when Mullen pointed out
Weiss from among five men was a dra-
matte one
After hearing his story and taking a
statement from Mullen. whose condition
is serious, commemorative Attorney
Mackey requested that Weiss be held
pending an investigation of the alibi.
Weiss was then taken TO the Seventh
precinct station.
Previous 70 his Identification of Weiss,
Miss Weiss had visited Mullen in the hos
pital She was accompanied by Reed
Campbell. a mutual friend. and had quite
/ a long conversation with the injured man.
Despite the Identification. Miss Weiss, in
I conversation with Mr. Mackey and with
a Washington Herald reporter, chung rig
/ idly 10 her original story about a negro
man making the assault upon Mullen and
attacking her. She SAYS that she does
not think Mullen had an opportunity "a
see the man who assaulted him, as he
was struck from behind. She even added
/ several details OF the description Of the
man. and stated that he had searched her
/ for rings. and had asked if she had a
watch.
Nackey Finds Flaw.
Mr. Mackey says that there are several
/ flaws in her story. He is convinced that
/ the assault occurred 800 yards away from
/ the spot she pointed out
| Miss Weiss was severely cross-ques-
toned. but could not be shaken. She said
that there was no opposition 10 Mullen on
/ the part Of her family. with the exception
1 Of her father, who did not like him. She
also said that her father never threatened
him. She said that when Mullen was as
saUlted she ran, and was nearly home
before her assail8ut caught her and
choked her. She made no outCTy. shs
SAYS. for the reason that he threatened "a

PARALYZED
The Telegraph Wires of America Are Silent and All Operators
 Leave Their Keys.
WORLDS GREATEST STRIKE ON
Immediate Communication Between Cities of the United States Destroy ed. Newspapers Without News.
 Inter-city Business Wrecked

The greatest strike in history is on. For the past three days the telegraphers strike has been gaining strength. Each night brought bulletins saying that op- orators had gone out in cities which had not been affected be- fore. As these additions to the hosts Of striking operators were reported pressure was brought to bear on the Associated Press and leased wire operators to join in the strike. These men stood against the storm for three days. but the strike fever was epidemic and irresistible.
 When General Manager Stone of the Associated Press asked for time until Tuesday evening in which to consult his directors the operators started a poll ot their membership to see what was the desire of the men inter ested. Before it was completed in due form the hour set for 6 favorable respose or a strike ar rived and operators began tC

 Laneburg-Sutton, Aug. 12- TOday's record: 105o in the shade. How's that for hot.
 Late this afternoon the cool breezes and showers tempered the severe heat nicely. At Bris. bane, Rosston and Mt. Moriah good rains are repC rted, while at BOdcaw, Sutton and Laneburg there were only light showers.
 Mrs. Ed Purtle is seriously ill at present.
 W. R. Thornton, after several days work on the roads, was compelled to quit on account of dry weather.
 Mrs. G. M. Franks, Miss Stacy Garrett and ye scribe went on a pleasant visit to Hope Saturday returning Monday.
 Tom Fore's family with Henry Fore and family, of Mt Pleasant Texas, came in Saturday on a visit to relatives here.
 Some visitors in the vicinity o1 Sutton at present are Mrs. Tena Mum and daughter Mattie, ot Prescott; Mrs. Yates, daughter and son, of Philadelphia; Mrs Ali Sutton and children and Will Sharp and family, of Seveir coun ty. So, you see Sutton is some what of summer resort.
 Owing to a breakdown at Berk mans mill their work has beer delayed for several days.

leave their keys over the whole length and breadth of the. land. In ten minutes every Associated Press key from New York to San Francisco and from Duluth to the City of Mexico was deserted. The newspaper offices which were invariably filled with the din of telegraph instruments were silent as a counting room. The long lines Of wire which web the United States hang pulseless on the poles, as silent as the winking stars above them.
 There might be another Mar unique disaster, another Balti- more fire, another San Francisco earth quake, but these silent wires will bear no tidings to a waiting world. Organized labor has made the most gigantic dem onstration of it's displeasure with working conditions the world has ever seen. It has struck a blow that for the time has plotted out the most elaborate system of communication which man can devise.
 By a stroke business depend ing on quick communication has been paralyzed. The newspap- CTS whose reputation for gather ing news is one of their best as sets are helpless. From the stock broker whose success or failure depends upon the click of Sounder to the merchant who wants to order half dozen hams by express, there is no way to do it. The great system by which they nightly reached the utter most parts of the earth-the ma chine so extensive in its ramitica tions and so perfect in it's organ izatiOn that it was certain that nothing of public interest could happen any where in the world without news of it being printed in the morning papers, lies dead.
 So tis with personal commun- ication. An anxious father far from home may seek to learn of the condition of his child sick with a deadly disease, but their is no way
 So complete is the tie-up of telegraphic communication that thestriking operators themselves can not learn what is being done in other cities of the country. By calling out the Associated Press and leased wires they marooned themselves and the public. There will be little authentic news until the deadly conflict between the companies and operators ends or is stopped.

marked Thomas Pengilly, attracted
by q worn gold band, as he was
placing An engagement ring upon
the finger OF Miss Nellie Howell.

The ring prevented the marriage

Alter wandering 30 years In Africa
and the Lake Superior country,
Thomas Pengilly had met his sister
in Butte, Mont, was attracted by
her manner, loved her and won her
hand. After years courtship they
were to be married. The date had
been set. Then the old ring he had
seen on the hand OF his mother lost
him q bride, but gained him a sister.
Two happier persons never lived.

he has begun q search for other

This is q great country. About
10000 people huddled upon a space
of about ten square miles. No land
can be bought within ten miles ol
Seattle for less than 5000 per acre.

Canal Uncovers Coal.

Rich Hill, Mo-, February 18 1t is
reported here that the contractors
digging the canal to drain the Marias
des Cygnes river had unearthed fine
5.foot vein OF coal on the bottom
lapds where the ditch was opened ior
a starting place for their dredge
boat.
Coalhas been known to exist under
all these bottom lands, by coal men,
for the past twenty-five years, but 1t
has been too expensive mining, ow-
ing to overfows. Now that the
canslis an assured fact, 1t is thought
that new shafts, slopes and strip pits
will be opened up in large numbers
on these lands, as some OF the finest
coal in the Rich Hill fields exists un-
der this land.

church as the longest step toward
the suggested union
For the united church he advocat.

As to its government he suggested q

four Lesser councils, one for each sec-

matters OF q nature local to the sec-

latter was the issue upon which
