FIRE ON MEXICAN STRIKERS.
One Killed, 80 Wounded-Ameriean
Women Taken to Safety.

Eloro, State of Mexico, Mexico, Aug.
I'm repelling a mob Of striking
miners, who freed the prisoners in
the local Jail, the troops fired, killing
nine and wounding thirty-two others.
The strikers were from La Esperanza
mine, which they abandoned. The
men in the Mexico mine, an adjoining
property, walked out and it is expect
ed BY the men that the Eloro mine,
that a strike would be called there to-
day.
Fearing that might be the victims
of an anti-foreign demonstration,
many of the American women were
sent out of the camp on a special
train over the FL Orc mining railroad
to Tulenanmo, from which place they
were taken TO Mexico City over the
National lines. The fears were based
upon a circular recently issued by the
miners, in which Americans were bit
terly assailed.

POUR SARAH LA DIVINE

The ticket sale for Mime. Sarah Bern hardt's appearance Thursday in Ca mille" was transaction of only one hour and 10 minutes length. When the doors were opened at 9 o'clock yester- day morning the anxious crowd of men and women who had been standing in line, some of them all night, moved into the lobbylike a great serpent with the head under the ticket window and the bodys sinuous folds stretching up and down the stairway and filling ev- cry corner of the building.
 ! In the course of the short time men up. 1900 of the treasured things, re- posing now no debut in safety deposit vaults, or some of them perhaps where ladies keep their change. As fast as the head of the line was chopped off the tail made fresh acquisitions and when the last ticket was doled out and the body of the human serpent dis jointed, there was still tail left wag7 ging.
 The composition of the crowd who showed such unbounded interest for the empress of drama was most democratic The first members of the belligerent throng were negro ems- saries who were noted to take their sta ton at the doors of the Jefferson as early as Monday night, with the instruc- tions to follow the example of the boy on the burning deck'' until relieved by their commissioners, some of whom ap- peared with the peep of dawn
 The tedious hours of the night proved

too much for even the most faithful of the dusky sentries and they inaug- urated a series of prayer meetings and guiling the time. In the early part of the morning these very servicable dummies were greatly in the majority until the arrival of crowds of young-s sters who relieved most of the weary smokes" In due consideration of the need of more skillful tacticians in an engagement of that kind.
 A little later in the morning, behold. there appeared among the members of the shifting line, pushing and elbow ing her way the type of lady whose name is a synonym for "persistence,' the suffragette. Up and down the line she went looking for a vulnerable point of attack. and as is usually the case, finally took her proper place in the order of arrival at the end of the string.
 It was all an ugly medley like a limbo, but there was a predominant spirit of fun running through the long line of the ticket seekers in spite of the disaffections in the ranks now and then.
 The sale yesterday morning was d recond sale. and it was stated by those in the ticket office that 1t would have been made more quickly had there not been some misunderstanding about the price of tickets, which caused much confusion at the ticket window and consequently much delay.

RICE DIED FROM
 HEART FAILURE
SUDDEN DEATH OF PROMINENT WALKER COUNTY MAN IS BE- LEVIED TO HAVE BEEN FROM NATURAL CAUSES

R. Manley Rice of Jasper dropped dead early yesterday morning on Avenue A, between Twenty-frst and Twenty-second streets After Investigating his death and calling in his physicians, Coroner Brash- CT pronounced his death as a result of heart failure.
 It is stated that MT. Rice was com ing from 23O0 Avenue B, where a rela- tive conducts a restaurant and had jusr taken drink from bottle which is said to have contained whisky. He fell n front of the livery stable on Avenue A, between Twenty-first and Twenty-second streets, and was found by employees of the stable who called Shaw's ambulance. Mir. Rice was rushed to the Hllman hospital. but he was dead before the ambulance reached the hospital. He did not speak after falling.
 MT. Rice was county commissioner of Walker county and was prominent in political circles in that section. He came to Birmingham several days ago from his home at Jasper, where he leaves a wife and several children.
 It was first thought that the liquid which MT. Rice drank from the bottle caused his death, but after a thorough examination by physians this was pro- nounced improbable. Coroner Brasher announces that he will hold the inquest either today or tomorrow. It is his opin- ion that MT Rice came to his death from heart failure.
 Oscar Rice, brother of the deceased. arrived in Birmingham last night from New Orleans and will take charge of the body. The body will be sent to either Meridian Miss, or Jasper today for inter- ment by Shaw x Son.
 MT. Rice was 40 years old at the time of his death. He comes from a prominent Alabama family and has many friends who regret his untlnely death
