MOVEMENT TO BRING ALL TO-

THE NORTH AND SOUTH.
LOVE Demonstration
EXPECT THAT PROTEST AGAINST
ROBERT E. LEES STATUE
WILL BE DROPPED.

Atlantic City. N. 1.-THE bond of
sentiment that has welded together
the hearts Of the North and the South
was never more in evidence than to-
day, at the formal opening Of the for.
ty.fourth national encampment Of the
Grand Army Of the Republic. 1t II
probable that there may never be an
other encampment held by the GAR.
The movement to bring together all
the survivors of the Civil War has
grown wonderfully. The idea advo-
Gated here at the twenty-fourth annual
reunion and campfire Of the Philadel-
phia brigade, Second division. Second
army corps. by H. A. Herbert, one
time secretary OF the navy in the
Cleveland administration, took firm
grip upon the thousands Of veterans.
Cheers greeted Samuel r. VanSant,
one time governor Of Minnesota. who
declared himself in favor Of the idea.
General Daniel E. Sickles also favored
the plan for the big reunion. and de-
clared he would give the matter his
earnest support. But that was but an
incident In the many. Two great DEM
onstrations of patriotism and love
drew together thousands Of survivors.
Here and there a little party OF men
in gray uniforms discussed favorably
the project Of union meeting in the fu.
ture.
Many expect that the protest
against the erection OF the statue OF
General Robert E. Lee in the rotunda
OF the Capitol will be dropped entirely.
and a movement begun for a monster
monument to be erected by the peo-
pie of the county and dedicated. not
10 the heroes of the North. or brave
men OF the South. but rather to the
men who sacrificed their all for tho
cause that they thought was right.

HALT GIVEN TO
RAILWAY STRIKE
Conference Between Men and on.
clRls viii be Renewed Next
Week.

PITTSBURG, July I6,-The pre-
dicted railroad strike so far as the
lines west of Plttsburg are concerned
at least. received somewhat OF a check
Friday evening, when It was an
nounced that conference which has
been on between workmen and en-
ployers had been adjourned until
next week--possibly to be taken up
next Monday.
While no reason Is given for this,
ii is thought that a decided stand
taken by the railroad on the aues-
ton Of age limit had something to do
with having the men decide to take
further time to consider.
From the Offices OF the Pennsylva-
MIA hines west there came an unslgn-
ed but evidently official statement in
effect that railroad authorities had
decided to enforce the age limit con-
dItions in case the men should decide
to strike--no matter what might be
the outcome of the strike.
Il was set forth that 20 per cent Of
the men now employed are over the
age limit Of 45 years. the time OF life
when the road will not employ anew
and each man going on strike would
be considered as out OF the roads
employ, and would be required 10 be
hired again when the return to work
was made.

Woman Expected Death.

1t appears that the first Mrs. Grip
pen-Charlotte Jane Bell, OF New
York-had a premonition of death,
that was altogether too strong to be
natural.
This is the story as Mr.. Bell tells
1t:
My sister, Charlotte Jane, studied
to be professional nurse, and about
20 years ago-I think in 1S85-was
graduated from the Hahnemann hos
pital here. While she was in training
there, young doctor named Hawley
Harvey Crippen was an inferno, and
they fell in love with each other.
Soon after Charlotte's graduation
they were married. l don't know
where or by whom, but know that
they started housekeeping in Sixty
second street near Tenth avenue, and
later went to house somewhere near
the Armory at Sixty-second street and
Ninth avenue. There Crippen set
himself up as a dentist, but he got
in some kind of trouble, and they
moved to Thirtieth street near Lex
ington avenue.

NEW YORK, July 16.-While q

rived in this port, for Or. Hawley
Harvey Crippen, supposed to have
murdered his wife in London, and
which the British capital and it's en-
Virons likewise were being secured
for traces Of him, 1t was discovered
in New York that mysterious circum-
stances surrounded the death OF
Crippen's first wife, as well as that
of his second, Belle Elmore, whose
body has now been turned up in a
London cellar.
1t has not been generally known
that DR.. Crippen was married before
he welded the good-looking actress
whose corpse was found buried in
quicklime beneath their home in Eng
land. But he was, and the manner
of his original brides death is being
closely looked into. He may have
two charges to face If he Is ever cap

set to work the authorities of several
American cities to probe the circum-
stances of her passage.
