The second entry for which they are driving may be struck at any time, for the party are where the map of the Farm Hill mine says it should be. No one says openly that the map of that mine is entirely wrong, but nearly every one believes it. The rescuing party has now driven nearly forty-five feet from where the first entry should have been struck, and as yet no signs of the place have been found. A consultation of the mine inspectors was held some time during the night or day. Itwas informal, but none the less suggestive at that. The topic discussed was the " cnatfgingof the courseV"- TnspectorBxlghley has been urged to change the course of the line he is driving. Some or the inspectors have urged him to do so, but he intends to stick out and run it through. He expects to strike something somewhere. GOING STRAIGHT AHEAD. He said to-night: "I think it best to go straight ahead. The Hill Farm mine map has misled us. There is no donbt about that. We may strike the second entry and we may not We are liable to strike through at any time if the room is there." "Whose fault is it, Mr. Keighley, that the mine map was not correct?" "That will be decided at the inquest The mine law requires that a survey must be made every six months." "Are tou required to surrey it for your self?" "No, I take a written statement from the proprietors or superintendent ol the mine that this has been done. I have 81 mines in my district, and it'would be absolutely impossible to measure up each heading. That has to be done by the engineers." THE "WEABY WAITINO. The 8 p'clock shift was held back some time this evening, because it was thought they were nearly through, but about half an hour later they all went in. The carpen ters were busy building up the casing around the fan, and the heavy doors made to shut off the air were all taken in the mine. Everything is ready for the break through, should it come. The flames have quit coming out of the Hill Farm mine. A little smoke is oozing ouL This is plain evidence that the slope has caved in. Unless the smoke and gases generated bv the fire seek the level of the higher Ferguson mine, the rescuing party will have great difficulty in getting through. The chances are that the Hill Farm mine will fill up with smoke after the Fcreuson jhas been choked up. The great danger the men who are working now is that of being cut off by the smoke. THE GEEAT DANGEB.. There are a number of old workings which enter the Hill Farm mine from the Mahon ing. It is through these that the great danger may come. It is liable to break through these workings, and then the line of guards will have some work to do. It will then depend on them to give notice to all the other men further down the mine. These were the great points of danger dur ing the exciting times of Friday night, when it was thought Ihe break had been made. This was the mistake of the driller. Everybody is growing very weary. Men are still found to fill each shirt, but they are not as plenty as they were one week ago. Ihe insDectors are keeping up by sheer will power, and not one of them has had over two hours' sleep a day since the work began. .The interest in the surrounding country 'still continues, and the two excursion trains .which passed through here to-day left hun dreds of visitors. The number of vehicles present at the mine was nearly as large as on last Sunday, and the crowd present was 'estimated at from 3,000 to 5,000 people. f EAGER EXPECTANCY.

The dig gers, having missed the second expected chamber, now feel confident that before daylight they will strike the main slope of the Hill "form mine. The line is surrounded by excited people, among whom are many women. While, the inspectors and officials of the two mines have no hope whatever that the entombed men Will be found alive, the miners themselves hold a contrary opinion. At this time all confidence has been lost in the maps of the Farm Hill mine, Yet the miners know that they are now near the main slope. The whereabouts of the branch ing rooms is no longer taken nu account. The workers know that they must strike something within six hours. One of the most faithful men on the ground is Captain Kelley, the Chief of Police of Connellsville. He has charge of the police lines, and ex pects some development before daylight. He has just retired to bed and has left his men on the lines. "When word comes from below, as he expects, he will be awakened. AU the inspectors are at the mine.

The fellow demanded admittance and was refused, whereupon he came back with a large lump of coal and threw it atrainst the window, crashing the lights, and then made a break for the opening. Just then Miss Wakley flourished her revolver and ordered the villain to retreat He stopped to parley, saying, "Yon would not shoot," and just then the brave young woman took deliberate aim. The burglar hid his face and withdrew his head from the opening in the window, but did not leave, while the handsome Young woman held at bay the desperado, who drew a knife. She used her other hand to call the next station, where a train was side-tracked, and to her joy she caught the operator, whom she informed of her situation. The engine was detached, and with the crew aboard ran to the young woman's rescue. While the crew was com ing to the young woman's relief, the burglar tried to induce her to hand out the contents of the safe, and made blood curdling threats, but when the engine with the crew turned, a short curveihe burglar ran away in time to escape lynching.

A" curious change has taken place in." the condition of Mrs. .Emma Altbouse, the sleeping beauty of Bennington Hill, . near Attica, and her trance periods have Gradually decreased in duration until the normal was reached, since when she has been going in the op posite direction until now she is chronically wakeful for unnatural periods and slumbers tewer hours and much more soundly than before. The Dispatch has fully chronicled the phenomenal features of her several trances, which began three years ago and continued intermittently until two weeks ago. These trances lasted from 3 to 37 days and averaged 18 or 20 days, during which time she was without nourishment and could not be awakened, except at the time when -she predicted each particular sleep would end. -( Physicians and scientists alike were un able to account lor her peculiar condition or .remedy it, though many attempts were made. She was first prostrated with a bowel trouble which baffled the skill of the doctors and until last week she was rigid in bed. Her emaciation steadily progressed until she resembled a skeleton on which parchment had been stretched more than any thing else. Her left side oppeared to be paralyzed and her right arm could hardly be moved while the power ot articulation was nearlv lost The change occurred about two weeks ago when she was, as other people, dividing her time between sleep and wakefulness. Her three sisters, who have been turns watching at the bed side.'were greatly pleased and Mrs. Alt- house brightened up. She was able to ab sorb more liquid nourishment than usual and her condition greatly improved. Her periods of wakefulness began gradu ally to increase and now she sleeps only four hours ont of 48. Judging by her prev ious symptoms this may go on till flhe stays awake all the .time. Her physical recov ery has so far progressed that she can sit up for three hours a day and can con verse in low, feeble tones. She is also be ginning to recover the use .ot her limbs.

The boat was shaken violently by the shock and the machinery stopped instantly. The startled passengers thought the boiler had burst and they rushed half dressed from their state rooms into the main cabin. There was a good deal of excitement for a few minutes, but no panic, and then it was learned that the cylinder head of the engine had blown out No one bad been hurt, but the boat was completely disabled. Signals for assistance were made and half an hour'latcrthe steamboat Providence, the second boar of the .Call .Elver Line, came up. As the sea was as smooth as a mill pond and the moon shone brightly, it was decided to run the Providence close along side and let the passengers step from one boat to the other. This was accomplished without accident THE SITUATION UNCHANGED. The Etrlke of the Freight Handlers at Boat St. Iionla Likely to be Protracted. St. Louis, June 29. The situation in the freight Handlers' strike in East St Louis remains practically unchanged. The strik ers held a meeting to-day and decided not to accept the terms offered by the railroads, and are determined to stay out until the roads come to terms. The latter have a few green hands at work, but very little is be ing done in the freight houses, as the new men know little or nothing ot the work re quired of them. It is stated also that should the road accede to the strikers' demand, the transfer drivers and other members of the American Jtreaerauon oi iaDor who are immediately concerned in the freight handlers' movement will join the strikers to-morrow. Another rumor current to-night is that should the threatened move on the part of the transfer drivers prove true the roads will accede to the demands made by the freight handlers. The superintendents are to hold a meeting to-morrow morning, at which a decision will likely be reached. LABOR LEADERS AT WAR.

The political organization of both parties have open doors, and nothing is being left undone to make the stranger feel at home. As yet but very few ol the delegates have arrived, but the several candidates have opened their headquarters, which are being looked after by their friends. William E. Wallace, son of the ex-Senator, is in charge e't the Wallace rooms at the Wyoming, where, assisted by friend's, he endeavors to keep his lines solid.

Can didates Elliott Black and Hensel have not J .yet got their headquarters opened, put they are expected here to-morrow, as is ex Governor Pattison and ex-Senator Wallace. One noticeable feature at the head quarters of the leading candidates in the race is the confident feeling expressed by both sides regarding the outcome of the convention. The Pattison forces unhesi tatingly declare that their candidate will be nominated on the second ballot, while the. Wallace forces, with an air of commence, say that Pattison cannot come within CO votes of winning the nomination. " A new feature of the contest for the nomi nation brought to light this afternoon is the belief among a number of those already on the ground that neither Wallace nor Patti son will secure the nomination, and that a new mn will nave to oe nominated in order to have the party present an undivided front at the fall elections. It is announced that Bobert E. Wright, of Allentown, -Till have at least 30 votes on the first t "ot, which, with 20 for Hensel and 12 for "K".rti mer E.

The Wal lace leaders, when asked regarding their in tention to use campaign material of the same character, declare that the main reason why they will not bother with that system of campaigning is because they already have their fight won. The Wright people, who are in favor of the nomination of a new man, are sending out letters to the elected delegates. The circular is signed by Marcus C. L. Kline, William H. Sowden, W. K.

Senator Sloan is popular with the grangers, and the survivors of the old Pennsylvania Reserves have always been bis most ardent supporters, irrespective of party.

Tbe Bird and Its Owner Charged With Disturbing the Peace. rSFSClAL TELIGBAM TO THE PISFATCR. . Kansas Citt, June 29. Louis Finkel stein, a barber, and his poll parrot, were ar rested to-day on a warrant sworn out by Pat Dwyer, a reporter for the Evening Star, under instructions from Colonel W. J. Nelson, editor and proprietor of that paper. The police and all others aware of the facts in the case treat the matter as a huge joke, but Colonel Nelson seems very much in earnest. Fiukelstein's bar ber shop is opposite the Star office, and the parrot's cage hangs in front. Of late the bird seems to have se lected Colonel Nelson as a special object of derision, and for the past few days has been advising the Colonel to "get his hair cut" and to "soak his head" whenever in hailing distance. To be thus addressed whenever he entered or left his office had annoyed the Colonel, and he to-day had Finkelstein arrested for maintaining a nuisance. The officer mak ing the arrest took the bird and its owner before Police Justice Wheeler this afternoon and the case was continued until Monday. The bird electrified those present in court by screeching "Johnnv, get your gun" when it first made its appearance and during its entire stay it kept up a run ning fire of exclamations, few of which are heard in polite society. Members of the Star local and editorial force have been sub poenaed to prove the parrot a nuisance. ' A BAKER'S DEADLY BLOW Falls on nn Innocent Box Whose Head In tpllt Open. rSFBCIAI.

Roeser drove the boys off, but they returned a fevr minutes later. The boys had run off and Roeser had gone back into the shop. Just as Rohan, a lad of 18, who had left his home a few minutes before, was passing some one yelled to the baker that one of those boys had come back.

This afternoon, about 12:30, Frank Ralston was probably fatally shot at the boarding house of Mrs. Fay, at the foot of Center street, by Patrick Byerly, a son-in-law of Mrs. Fay, and a fel low boarder at the house. Ralston was wounded in the stomach and right shoul der. The weapon used was a 33-caliber revol ver, and the attending physicians believe the wound is fatal. After committing the deed Byerly left the house, ran down the river shore a few hundred yards, and rowed to the opposite shore of the MonongaEela, from which he made good his escape. The police were close after him, but on reaohing the river could obtain no skiff, and were un able to continue the pursuit until Byerly was lost in the woods. THE ASSAILANT FLEES. ' Officers are still in pursuit and as tele grams have been sent to various points it is thought Impossible for him to escape. The house, besides being used for hotel purposes, is a speak-easy, and a row occurred there last evening, in which Ralston and Byerly had some warm words, but did not come to blows. The trouble was renewed to-day at the dinner table and half a dozen ot the boarders took part in the fray. Byerly and Ralston came together and Ralston seemed to be getting the best of the contest when Byerly drew a revolver from his pocket and fired before he could be prevented. Ralston is 25 years old, and has been em ployed at the Monongahela Furnace Com pany. Byerly assists his relative, Mis. Fay, in conducting the boarding house, and has not been marked for any particular amia bility. Mrs. Fay's husband is now in jail for beating his wife, and Byerly has been conducting the speak-easy, seven kegs of beer having been found in the ice-cooler when the police searched the house. DESCRIPTION OF THE FUGiriYB. Brlerly is 5 feet 5 inches tall, wears a dark soft hat and coat and striped panta loons. He is about 30 years of age and has a very smooth voice. A number of men board atthe house, and among them are several who were at the table at the time of the shooting. Three of the men stated to the chiof.that Brlerly did the shooting. One of them said: "Ralston and several others had been drunk since 8 A.M., and were very disorderly in the honse; so much so that Mrs. Fay ordered Ralston and his room-mate, Archie Black, to leave, and Ralston had his trunk packed. While the party was eating the two men came down stairs drunk. Ralston staggered against the table and said he could lick anybody in the place. "Brierly told him to get out, when Ralston threw a catsup bottle at him, and the shoot ing followed. They were at the time on op posite sides of the table. Ralston fell where he stood, and Brierly left the place at once. As he reached the pavement he put his re volver in his pocket and struck toward the river." Later advices state that Ralston cannot possibly live through the night. KILLED IN A QATJBBE1. This evening at North Sewickley there was another tragedy. During a dispute between two Italians, James Burnett stabbed Joe Cottley in the left side of the abdomen, killing him almost in stantly.

At the services to-day in the First German Presbyterian Church, a choir composed of Sunday scbool teachers took the place of the Neander choir. A representative of the pastor said: "We did not expect the old choir, nor do we want it We can well do without it" At a meeting of the members of the Neander choir, held at Deacon August Tiernann's house, the trouble between the pastor and the choir was discussed, and his statement that the choir was in the habit of collecting money on Sundays in the choir loft of the church, and going with it to a place in Even street, where a keg of beer would be purchased And drank, 'was denied. "The whole trouble," Deacon Tiernann said, "arises from Pastor Hebr's jealousy. He would like to be as well liked as the old pastor, the Rev. Mr. Neander. He says that Mr. Dietrich shook his fist in his face. Mr. Dietrich denies this, and we believe him. We love the Church, and as it is the only German Presbyterian Church In this part of the city, we shall, in order to save it before all the members leave, tro to the Presbytery with our complaint. We drink beer, but not imtemperatelv. and not from money collected in the choir loft." AN INDIAN INSPECTION.

Even if Eecompensed for the Improvements , They Havo Made, MANX WOULD BE 0SABLE TO GO FAB First ward tenants of the Schenley estate) are alarmed over the interview wili Mrs. Schenley, in which that lady talks of tear ing .down the houses they have built to erect on their sites more valuable buildings. They protest against being made to move unless they are recompensed, and many re fuse to leave the ward atalL Chief Bigelow hints ot another surprise from Mrs. Schen ley. The publication yesterday of the cabled interview with Mrs. Schenley, by In staff correspondent of The Dispatch, in regard to the Schenley property at the Point, caused considerable surprise among the residents of the First ward, who are ten ants of the estate. Mrs. Schenley told the correspondent who journeyed to see her that she would pull down tbe old rookeries at the Point, and in their stead would erect large warehouses for business purposes. Her statements back up what her son hinted at while in this city, some months ago, but Mrs. Schenley could not have reckoned that she would have trouble getting the residents out of what she terms the "old rookeries." The interview with Mrs. Schenley was the topic of conversation in nearly every house hold in what is known as "the Point' strictly speaking. In the afternoon a Drs patch reporter visited the First ward to ascertain the views of tbe residents. Every one met was talking of it, and any number of opinions advanced as to whether Mrs. Schenley will evict them or not after April lnext GETTING QUITE NEBTOUS. Down on Water street, below Penn ave nue, where the second stories of the houses' bend over, kiss and shake hands with tha sidewalks, the residents were gradually being worked into a state of nervousness over tha prospect of losing their homes. In tho row reside Messrs. Welsh, Stir, Flaherty, Sullivan and Walters. Mr. Stlx has re sided in his present place of abode for mors than G0 years, and the idea of losing the old homestead is not a comforting one. Tha people interviewed said they had been Hy ing there all their lives, and as they owned the dwellings, they would not vacate with- out being properly recompensed for the ex pense they had gone to in putting the build ings on the ground. If any attempt was made to evict them, they said, the results of this practice in Ireland would not be a marker to what would take place In Pitts bure, as soon as it is tried. Alderman P. J. Donahoe, of the First ward, lives on Penn avenue, within tha Schenley lines, and wa3 encountered talk ing to a number of residents who had sought his counsel. When the matter was broached by the reporter, and the latter asked what would be done if Mrs. Schenley ordered tho tenants out, tbe Alderman said : 3-EAB3 THEBE -WTLIi BE TBOUBLE. "If any attempt is made to evict the peo ple I honestly believe there will be trouble. I do not know what Mrs. Schenley intends to do about recompensing the people, but unless some provision of that kind is made I fear many unpleasant things will happen. The old people down here will cry about it, and with heavy hearts go out to seek a shelter where they can find it With the younrer people it will be different They will fight the matter and resist every effort to get them out of the houses. "There are about 50 old men here who are tenants of the estate and they are scarcely able to draw their less after them. I could also name about 25 widows in tha ward who have nothing but the little houses thev live in. The dwellings are worth from ?500 to $800 apiece, and while the sum is small, it is a fortune to the people owning them. The little houses are the result of years of careful saving, and it would be inhuman to turn the people out becausa Mrs. Schenley wants the ground to put up ouildings tnat would yield a larger revenue. "Mrs. Schenley has altogether about 250 tenants at the Point and the houses they own could be easily bought for $125,000, If she wants the people to get out, I think . she will see the justice of paying the tenants what their houses are worth, and to get at the valuation I would suggest that apprais ers be appointed for that purpose. I would favor tbe scheme of having Mrs. Schenley select a man, tue tenants another, and the two select a third. They shonld take each house in turn, and it would not take then, long to go over the entire list UVED THESE TOO XiONO. "Instead of treating the people as squat ters, Mrs. Schenley could afford to "pay them the price fixed by tbe board, and allow the tenants to move wherever they chose. Some of them have lived at the Point so Ions that they could not reside in any other part of the city and will die in the First ward. I would favoran organized movement to resist any attempt to evict the people." Bev. Father Sheedy. pastor of St Marv'g of Mercy Church, said: "The people living on Mrs. Schenley s ground have paid for their lota twice and three times over in tha way ot ground rent She could do nothing with the houses, but tbey are above aU value to the people living in them. Tha tenants have made the improvements, and with every improvement there came an in crease in the ground rent The people also pay the taxes and water rent and Mrs. Schenley pays nothing. The majority of the buildings are neat and comfortable and have been erected out of the hard-earned savings of poor washerwomen. It is. cruel to put them out without com pensating them, and as the homes are all they possess some of the old people who have no money will be left destitute, and may have to go to the poorhouse. If tha English Government passes a law compell ing landlords to compensate the Irish peas antry, when the letter's homes are takea from them, Mrs. Schenley should be com pelled to do the same. I hope she will take into considerationHhe claims ot the tenants who have 'been faithful and punctual la tneir payments lor tne last so years or more. "WOU1VD GO "WITH HIS PEOPLE.
