Cherry, Ill, Nov. 16.-TTOops have
been called for to prevent any unto
ward demonstration at the st. Paul
coal mine when the bodies of the
three hundred men entombed in last
Saturdays disaster are brought to the
surface.
The sheriff has asked Governor
.Deneen to send several companies. So
far there has been no violence, but II
is feared the miners will attempt viO-
lence when they see the bodies OF
their comrades.
When the bodies will be brought to
the surface is doubtful, and none of
the officials believe any of the men
will be alive. The fire in the mine
today was more fierce than ever and
no effort could be made to enter it.
Fire Chief HOran, of Chicago, is here
with large supply of hose and chem
ical eXtinguishers. When he tested
the heat at the mouth of the shaft he
said: 1t is no use to lift the lid to-
day. If we did the whole mine would
blaze up and there would be no posi-
bility of rescuing even the bodies"
Only the most frantic of the women
who lost their husbands ventuTed TO
visit the shaft. These had to be al
most forcibly taken back The funer-
al of eight of the miners killed Sat
urday was held today.
1t is believed now that the men in
the mine were dead soon after the
disaster of Saturday.
CLOTHING BADLY NEEDED.
Many articles of clothing are need
ed by the families of victims of the
disaster. Also money is needed to
care for them during the winter
Headquarters have been established
here from which charity viii be dis
pensed Systematically. A house-to-
house canvass was started today and
each widow will be required to give
data of her circumstances.
Today was the semi-monthly pay
day and nineteen thousand dollars
were paid survivors and heirs of the
dead miners. Many pathetic scenes
occurred.

PENDANTS until o'clock Wednesday

Long Chase After SWindIer
Ends Satisfactorily to Victim

with chagrin, he took up the trail of
the swindler. First it led to st. Louis
and then to Denver. From that city
to New Mexico and Arizona Grabill
followed. At length the sWindleT
crossed the border into Mexico, with
which country he evidently was
familiar. Grabill had the shrewdness
and the determination to employ an
agent that could follow him, and so he
engaged a Mexican detective.
GrabilI and the detective followed
the swindler into the California desert.
The pursuit wore Grabill out and he
stopped in village, but the detective
pressed on.
Within a few weeks the detective
returned to Grabill and gave him suftl-
cient proof that he had caught up
with the swindleT at a lonely ranch
house, that the man was at bay and
desperate, that they fought, and that
he shot the swindler dead. His body
was buried in the desert.
Satisfied that in this final deal he
was getting his moneys worth, Grabill
paid the detective and set out for In
diana and home. He had been too
busy to write home.

Andersonville, Ind, Nov. 16.-With
the satisfaction of knowing that the
bones of the man that swindled him Of
S3,500 lie bleaching in the sands Of
the Southern California desert, New
ton A Grabill, a mill owner of Dae-
vile, returned home today after a ten
thousand mile chase and found that
his creditors, beueving him dead, had
petitioned the Delaware county court
to wind up his estate. Grabil is 72
years old, but he is strong of body
and grim of will.
One day last June GrabiIl was ap-
preached at his mill by a man who
said he represented a brokerage firm
at Chicago. The stranger had pros
pectuses of a gold mine in Colorado
and persuaded GTabill that it would
be a profitable investment for his saw
ings. GTabill handed the supposed
brokers' agent $3,50O in cash and
made an appointment with him to
meet him in Indianapolis and turn
over the remainder of the amount he
intended to invest.
At indianapolis Grabill learned that
he had been tricked. Angry and sore

New York, Nov 16.-The control of
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany passed today to the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company
and long step was taken toward the
merging of the telephone and tele-
graph companies into a corporation
with a capitalization of nearly $1,000

The acquisition of the Western Union
and the recent absorption of various

President s. N. Vail, of the Ameri-

From the very commencement of
the telephone business it has been
thought that "a cIose opeFation-the1
making Of one business the auxiliary
to the other business-would give ad-
ditional public service as well as re-
suits in large economics, both to the
public and to the companies.
There is much to be gained by the
Joint consolidation and maintenance of
the plant and its common use to the
greatest pQssible extent, but the great
est advantage would follow the placing

ner exists today, a lack of harmony
and cooperation between the COM
panies and an inability to agree on
methods of fixing responsibility, has
limited its utilization to cases of abso-
lutte necessity. The harmony and CO.
operation necessary, it is believed,
can now be established and the re-
Bulting advantage made available for
