Chicago. June 80. Thirty
nine persons are known to have
died here today as a result of the
intense heat. This number in
cludes only the cases reported by
the coroner and police and it is
expected it will be increased by
re ports oil physicians.
OF these deaths % were the re-
suit OF heat strokes five commit
ting suicide and two of children.
This was the hottest June day
recorded in this city since the
government records were begun
in 1872. Ninety nine degrees
were registered by the govern
ment thermometer above the
weather bureau. The govern
ment thermometer on the street
level showed q temperature of
102.

Hatfield Unsuccessful

Charleston, w. Va, June %. -
Conferences between the New
River operators and officials OF
the United Mine Workers OF
America, with Governor Hatfield
as mediator, which have been
held here for the past three days
in the hope of avoiding a general
strike in the New River field
July l, were without avail.
The general strike call has
been ordered sent out, and will
reach the New River miners to-
day.
Negotiations for the present at
least are off, and unless a new
proposition is forthcoming be-
fore Monday evening from 5000
to $1,000 miners will go on
strike.
While the claim is made that
the New River miners are thor
oughly organized. the officials of
the United Mine Workers do not
know just what percentage OF
the men will heed the call to
strike.
The operators do not know
either whether only a part of the
miners will answer the call or
whether the strike will shut
down the mines. Both sides
wanted to avoid the strike be-
cause Of the losses each would
necessarily suffer.
The basis suggested for the
settlement of the strike on Cabin
and Paint Creeks-the granting
of a check weighmau, the semi
monthly pay. the nine-hour day
and no discrimination as to
where miners purchase supplies
figured in the conferences rela-
tive to the New River field.
No developments are expected
in the situation on Paint and
Cabin Greeks until after Sunday
though the plans of the agita-
tors, working independently of
the union officials, are to call out
the Paint Greek miners Satur-
day.

Bridge Gives Away

Morgantown, w. Va, June %.
About 30 people, mostly child
rem, were precipitated into Deck
ers creek, yesterday, evening.
when the swinging bridge con
Meeting the Greenmont and the
Marillia sections of the city col
lapsed. One man, said to be a
foreigner, was badly cut about
the faee, but had disappeared
when an ambulance, summoned
by nearby residents, arrived on
the scene. Elwyn John, aged
seven, son of Mr.. and Mrs. j. M.
John, of Greenmont, was thrown
clear of the bridge when it col
lapsed and fell into two feet of
water. He was picked up and
carried to his home where he is
little the worse for his expert
ence.
That many of the half hundred
people, the majority of whom
were boys and girls not more
than II years old, were not in
jured is considered rather mirac-
ulous. The bridge dropped
about ten feet into the creek.
When the two cables supporting
the bridge snapped, the fright
ened children, terror stricken,
and the badly scared adults,
clutched eagerly for supports to
prevent personal injuries. The
adults were not forgetful Of the
children and sought to protect
them. AS soon as the bridge
flooring struck the water, those
on the structure clambered to
safety. The accident occurred
about 5 o'clock.

Pathetic Tragedy at Wheeling

Wheeling, w. Va, June 80. -
One of the most pitiful tragedies
of the year occurred in the Ohio
river at Warwood yesterday az
ternoon. when Beatrice Allberry,
fom-year old daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Henry Allberry, of
Warwood, was drownded before
the eyes Of her mother and sew

While they We're crossing the

which was passing up the river
with five empty barges, the en-

which was being swept down the
the river directly toward the tow
boat at rapid rate.
When the first bargas Of the
tow were within a few feet of
the launch the steamer was sud
denly stopped and started to
back. The suction of the barge
pulled the launch under the fore
most barge, and al! Of the party
were thrown into the river, but
all save the helpless child were
able to grasp the end of the
barge. She was carried under
the barge by the suction and

The Blue and the Gray Meet in
Peace

Gettysburg, June 30. Over
the fields of Gettysburg where
$50, 600 men i'm the blue and gray
fought with the weapons of war
fifty years ago, the soldiers of
peace from the north and south,
east and west, trooped today to
the city of pink and brown
where they will live in the four
days of semi-centennial celebra-
ton.
1t was an army united in SEN
timent and united in fact, for
the blue linked arms with the
gray.
They marched the dusty road
together from the village; they
sat down at the same mess
tables and they talked over the
war before the same camp fires
tonight.
If there was any rancor in any
heart. any feeling Of bitterness,
it didn't come to the surface and
over the broad eXpanse of the
city, the reunion of those who
won and those tried, went on
hour after hour.
Officials Of the regular army
! in charge of the camp, tonight
estimated that nearly $4,000 vet
Grams came in during the day,
bringing the total close to 40, 600,
probably the greatest army that
ever assembled on Gettysburg
field after Lee and Meade left it
to glory and history.
Although the program of the
celebration will not be taken up
until tomorrow, there was a re-
ception today by the survivors of
Buford's division of Meade's ar
| my and Wheeler's division Of
| Lees.
The meeting was held i'm the
big tent set aside for the speech
making of the celebration and be-
gan 30 years to the hour from the
time the first shot proceeding
the battle was fired.
The gray cavaIrymen who
fought the skirmishes that led to
the three days fight pledged
themselves in the shadows of the
stars and stripes to forget" and
their brothers in blue swore by
the stars and bars that the fight
was over for all time.
There were several women
from the village in the tent and
six one-time school girls, gray
haired and aged now, sang
Rally Round the Flag, Boys, "
while the veterans wept like
boys, but with pride.
-Four governors came into
camp today, Governor Mccoy
ern, of Wisconsin, was the first
arrival; Governor Tener, ofPenn-
sylvania, was close on his heels,
and, Governor Mann, of Virgin
ia, and Governor McCreary, of
Kentucky arrived later.
General Sickles, the only corps
commander of the union army
on the field was the center of at
traction of hundreds of men i'm
fray. He sat on the porch of
the Rogers house on the field
near the spot where he was shot
and there stood shaking hands
with all those present.
Because Of the serious condi-
ton that has developed among
the veterans, Colonel Bradley.
q. S. A., appealed to the local
authorities to close all saloons
and prohibit the sale of liquor in
the town. I'm event of failure of
the local authorities to take ac-
ton the matter will be placed
before the governor. 1t may be
necessary to declare martial law.

Col. Edwards Testified

ness, Col. William S. Edwards.
late candidate for United States
senator, was carried into the
court room this morning on a
stretcher to testify in the trial of
Senator Smith.
Col. Edwards denied Smiths
statement on the stand a few
days ago that Smith told him he
was one of his supporters, and
that he had told Smith he would
be liberal with his money.
Col. Edwards denied that he
had employed detectives to buy
the votes Of Legislators for him
and testified that detectives were
first taken to Charleston during
last September by Former Gov
ernor William f. Glasscock; for
mer Governor w. M. O. Dawson,
John T. McGraw, H. C. Ogden,
himself and others, their servi-
ces terminating in September.
The bill for their services, he
said, was rendered to himself
and Ogden.
Detectives were empoyed
early this year he said TO uncov-
er graft or fraud TO bring any
violators Of the law to justice, :"
and he contributed to the en-
ployment of such detectives be-
cause he deemed it public
duty"
Edwards said he authorized
the treasurer Of the VIM. Sey-
mour Edwards Oil company. af-
ter a conference with Prescott
ing Attorney Thos. Townsend,
to give Townsend any money he
might ask for in his efforts to I'M
cover graft and frand.
Before Edwards was brought
into the courtroom Judge w. S.
O'Brien admonished the attor-
neys and the spectators that alb
solute quiet must prevail and
that the attorneys refrain from
arguing over questions so that
the witness would not be dis
turbed more than was absolutely
necessary.
The appearance of Edwards
was on his own volition and aft
er the defense which had sum
moned him, had refused to take
his deposition. His action was
over the protest of his own at
torney and physicians. Con
gresham Avis questioned Ed
wards for the state and imme-
diately went to the points at is
sue.
DO you recall meeting Sena-
tor Smith in the State Capitol
January 81, " asked Avis.
Il do"
Did Senator Smith say to
you at that time he was for you
and meant to support you?"
He did not" replied Ed
wards.
Did you say to him that you
would be liberal with expense
money!"
II did not We had no such
conversation.
Did you employ any detect
ives to assist you in your own
candidacy"
No, never "
Congressman Avis then
brought from the witness that
he, John r. McGraw, Grant p.
Hall, H. G. Ogden, Governors
w. f. Glasscock and w. M. O.
Dawson and others had en-
ployed detectives last summer in
connection with the charges
against Senators Chiffon and
Watson. This was stated to
show what some of the money
the defense charged Edwards
had paid to the Burns detective
agency was used for.
Edwards said he authorized
Frank Smith to pay to Prescott
ing Attorney r. G. Townsend
any sum of money he asked for.
What for?" asked Avis.
ITO enable him to discover
grafters and fraud that had
grown to be prevalent at Char
lesion and to bring them to JUS
tice, replied Edwards.
why did you do this?"
u deemed it a public duty, ="
was the reply.
