The accident was evlden' due to tho bursting of a tire. At the time it occurred the auto, w hich was capable uf running 74 miles an hour, was going at tho rate uf G2 miles an hour. The manager of the firm which sold Mr. Fair the automobile in which he met his death declared in an Inter view that ho had more than once warned Mr. Fair that he was loo Im prudent. He said Mr. Fair had the "speed madness' and had met with an accident the first part of June when he collided with another automobile on tho avenue Des Champs Elysees, in Paris, but luckily no one was killed. "I attribute the accident," said tho ninnaKer of the firm, "to the con dition of tho read wlieie the disaster happened. At this point there Is a steep and treacherous Incline down which Mr. Fair must have gone at full Fpeed, and his automobile, which was capable of running about 08 miles on the lint, would then have attained a speed of from 87 to 93 miles an hour.

Report of Trade Conditions. Weather conditions have been favorilile and the country Is a week nearer to reali.lng the largest harvest In ltB history. Every day that elap ses brings nearer the time when the la.-t apparently possible unfavorable crop contingency, an early frost, will have been discounted and confidence in fall trade was never more pro nounced. The need of larger than usual quan tities of money to move the crops is appreciated, and apparently all pos sible measures are being taken to facilitate matters in this respect. The physical handling of the crops by tho railroads presents a problem which also must be met. and tho pos sibility of a car Ehortage looms up second only to the necessary financing of the movement Itself. The less favorable features noted are the restriction of trade In sum mer goods, caused by the cool weath er, the cortlnuance of the deadlock at the anthracite coal mines, with tho growing nervousness as to sup plies nnd pilcis if the strike continues until cool weather, and the unfavor able figures of July export trade, caused by projection of last year con ditions Into the present. Collections as a whole are elassi d as seasonable.

The Hrike among the anthracite coal miners, while not having thp effect of raising the price of coal in Diiiralo, has made It very difficult for the con sumers to get enough coal to meet their needs. With the exception of the Erie Railroad Coal company, there are none of the railroad companies supplying their retail trade. The transportation departments of rail roads at the opening of tho strike seized the coal on hand, and have been giving none at all, or a very small amount, comparatively, to their coal departments. The price of coal has not been rais ed, and It Is not thought that it will be raised. Prominent coal men aio of the opinion that as soon as the end of the striku Is definitely In sight, the price of coal In New York City and other places where it has been raised, will Immediately go back to Its for mer figure. Boers Saw the King. Generals Botha, Dewtt and Delarej were received on board the royal yacht Sunday. King Edward came forward and after they had been Introduced shook hands with each of them.

Monday morning the bank re ceived through the mail on envelopo postmarked at the general postoflice at 10:30 a. m. on Saturday with the address "Nat. Bank North America, New York City," printed out. The envelope enclosed the premium certifi cate of a cigar company acro-s which was scrawled "Two packages money found In your bank by Meser boy on floor."

Five deputies were on their way to shaft No. 1 of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation company, just out side uf the town. In the center uf the town they were met by a numbei ot strikers who began persuading them not to go to the colliery. The officers did not stop but kept on thoir way The strlk'is, It is said, then began to abuse tho men and followed them nearly up to the colliery. There are conflicting stories as to what actually brought on the clash, but ju-t before the deputies entered the place a shot wax; heard and Sharp dropped to the ground.

Witnesses say the shooting vn3 done by McKl- moyle and that he stood only six or seven feet from Sharp whin he fired his revolver. Only one shot was fired. The deputiesjmmcdiately withdrew to the colliery and a large crowd gath ered about the place. When it was learned that Sharp was dead there was the greatest Indignation among the strikers and other town people and for a time it looked as though se rious trouble would follow. Cool' r heads among the mine work ere, however, prevailed upon the crowd to disperse, using the argument that If there Is any blood hed troops would surely be sent her? from Shenan doah. The crowd dispersed and the town soon calmed down to Its normal state. Witnesses to the shooting went to tho office cf W. R.

Manila, Aug. 19. The Moios in Mindanao are renewing their attacks upou the outposts and pack trains of the American column at Lake Lanao, which is under the command of Cap tain J. J. Pershing of the 15th cavalry. Tile Americans- have successfully re pulsed tho Moro attacks and have Buffered no losses. The commanders of the American forces on Mindanao report aggressive action against the Moros to bo neces sary and ask permission to move against Bacolod and other strong holds of the hostile Mohammedans. There are about 2,ooo Americans sol diers on Mindanoa available for the de Blred aggressive movement. It Is be lieved this number 1 sufficient to de feat the Mores, although it would pos sibly be necessary to strengthen their base before undertaking the move ment. General Chaffee is now in Mindanao, having left Manila some days ago. If the campaign should continue for some time he no doubt will remain In the Philippines Instead of leaving on Septemclitr 30 as he had planned. It Is understood at the war department tfliat General Chaffee has sufficient troops to make an active campaign. Boundary Monument Located. Tocoma, Wash., Aug. 19.

ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE T Supposed Infernal Machine Sent to Robert E. Pattiion. Philadelphia, Aug. 18. What may have been an attempt upon the life ol former Governor Robert E. Paulson was discovered Friday night when the detective department was notified that Mr. Pattison had received a package by mail containing what seemed to be an Infernal machine. The package contained several pounds of black prismatic powder such as is used in guns of large calibre. In the center of which was a small brass box. On the top of the powder was a slip of paper bearing the Inscription "To Hell With You." Mr. Pattison Is the Democratic can didate for governor. When he was een at his law office he did not ap pear to be much worried over the matter. He said he found the package in his office upon his return from a trip to New York last week. "I examined it carelessly," said Mr. Pattison, "e.nd thought no more about the matter until the night before last, when a newspaper reporter called at my house and told me the sensational story that It was powder that was sent to me. I gave him the key to my office and he went there and got the package. It was taken to Fort Delaware and on the black material being tested it was found to be pow der. As to tho tin box which was In closed Inside the package and sup posed to contain dynamite, I know nothing, for I did not even see tho box. Further than this I know noth ing of the whole affair." TWIST TO BE ELIMINATED. Pennsylvania Ready to Straighten the Fatal Curve Along the Conemaugh. Altoona, Pa., Aug. 18. The tortu ous curves in the line of the Pennsyl vania railroad as It meanders along tho bank of the Conemaugh river In the Packsadille are to be eliminated, say reports, at an expense far greater than any Incurred In the big Improve ments that are being made on the Pittsburg division. The plans of tho company, accord ing to late surveys, call for the bridg ing of the Conemaugh at least four times within as many miles.
