Columbus, ()., Aug. 2.-—The judges
at the grand races yesterday un
earthed a job in the $5,000 stake for
2:20 pacers, and by prompt action
saved innocent speculators who had
backed the field, a large sum of
money. Severe punishment was meted
out to the guilty party, Driver Tom
Stuard and the horse Kldcrone being
suspended for one year. The 2:20
pace was the feature of a good can.'.
There were si\ starters, but (ireen
line and Khlerone were conceded to
have the race between them, (ireeit
line won the first heat with ease in
2:09%, slow time over the track,
which was lightning fast. The second
heat was won by Kldcrone, who paced
a beautiful mile in 2:031,4, cutting his
record by four seconds.
The original betting had been
C.reenline SIOO and the field si!o.
Klderone's showing in the second
heat produced the desired effect on
the odds, which now switched to .*.lO
on (ircenline and s.'.(l on the field. Tins
third heat went to (ircenline in
j.': 101/4, Stuard making no effort with
Klderone. When the horses came out
for the fourth heat the judges or
dered Stuard out of the sulky and
put Valentine, a local trainer and
driver, up behind Klderone. IClderone
took the fourth heat in 2:06i/j.
In t'.ie fifth heat Klderone went to
a break in the first turn and could
not be set to pacing again. ile fin
ished behind the flag with a broken
hopple, which investigation showed
had been cut nearly through before
the heat started. The judges declared
all bets off, placed Kldcrone fourth
instead of distanced in the last heat,
suspended Stuard and the horse
Klderone for one year and fined Hud
son SIOO for not trying to win the
last heat with Tertimcii. Valentine
was awarded S2OO for driving Kid-l - -
one, the amount to be taken from
the horse's share of the purse.
Kldcrone is the pacer who finished
second to Direct Hal in the chamber
of commerce stake at Detroit and
again at Cleveland, lie had great
speed yesterday and should have
beaten (ircenline.
The 2:10 trot went to Wauliun after
seven hard heats. The two short
races were won by Klondike and
Chase in straight heats.
A NEW ARMOR PLATE.
Naval Olllrcr* Claim Grrnt Tilings for

\i-%v l'rocrim,
Washington, Aug. 2.—The navy peo
ple hope to offset the recent develop
ment in high explosives and armor
piercing projectiles by the army
through a considerable improvement
in the resisting power of the armor
plating of a battleship. Lieut. Clelaud
Davis, attached to the naval ordnance
bureau, has produced an armor plate
which recently was tested at. the
proving grounds at Bethlehem, Pa.,
and the results encourage the naval
officials here to believe that armor
plate has again overtaken the gun ia
the never-ending struggle for su
premacy.
This plate is obtained by a novel
process, carbon being driven directly
into the surface of hot iron by an in
tensely powerful current of electri
city, the result being a face as hard
as glass, and of any thickness desired,
supported by a tough back. The
depth of the hardening i- regulated
by the length of time the current
plays on the plate. It is claimed that
an average plate can be completely
treated electrically in five hours.
Moreover, the plate is claimed to be a
third lighter for the same resisting
power, which mean-a great saving lu
constructors.

Charleston, W.Va., July 30.--One of
the points which was brought out in
the trial of Jolin Itiehards and others
in the federal court here before
Judge Keller yesterday is that Itich*
ards threatened to blacklist all min
ers who refused to come out and join
the strikers. When Richards was
speaking to a crowd and the working
miners were listening, he turned to
the working miners ami pleaded with
them to quit work and said that
when the strike was over and the
union had been recognized, which it
surely would be, they would not be
able to, work in any section of the
couirtry. He told them he had a list
of all their names and it would be
furnished to every local union in the
country, and wherever they went
they would be pointed to as "scabs"
and would not be allowed to earn a
living.
Il has developed that, if the injunc
tion issued by Judge Keller in the
suit of the (iauley Mountain Coal Go.
is followed strictly, it will prevent the
strikers from going into the incor
porated town of Ansted. in this state.
The bill of the complainants set up
that nearly all the employes of tiie
company live in Ansted, which towu
is located on the property of the
company and that the municipal au
thorities are unable to cope with the
defendants, Wilson, V "Mother" Jones,
Pureell and others, and are unable to
protect the property of the company
or the persons or safety of the em
ployes, and that the police have been
openly defied. The injunction of the
court prohibits the defendants from
going on the property of the com
pany. or camping or marching on it.,
.-o ii includes most of this municipal
corporal ion.
Mt. Carmel, Pa., July 30.—Two
crowds of strikers numbering several
hundred men, women and children
gathered between here and Shamokin
yesterday and caught several non
union workmen and badly pummelcd
them.
Shamokin, Pa., July 30.—One thou
sand people assembled at the Mineral
Co.'s colliery last evening and hooted
and cursed non-union men as they
quit work. A delegation of boys
stoned several sub-bosses as they en
tered town. Chief Ilurgess Thomas
and the police charged the crowd and
put them to flight.
Wilkesbarre, Pa., July 30.—Several
striking miners from Xanticoke were
arraigned before .Magistrate lirown,
of this city, yesterday, charged with
committing an assault on William
Voting, an engineer employed at one
of the collieries of the Susquehanna
Coal Co.
Charleston, W. Va., July 31.- In the
trial yesterday of John Itiehards and
others, the defense produced evidence
to disprove the statement of prosecut
ing witnesses that the strikers cursed
the injunctions, the courts and the
marshals. Mrs. Snyder, wife of one
of the defendants, testified that one
of the guards employed by the Col
lins Colliery Co. had met her as she
was coming from the post oflice at
(ilenjean and told her that she could
not come to the post office again, and
that he had orders from Mr. Collins
to prevent her coming there.
Judge Keller leaned from the bench
and said: '"Madame, I want you to
understand, and those with you to
understand, that no person has a
right to prevent you going to a
United States post office, it matters
not upon whose property it is located,
and you are free togo there when
you please, and I will protect you in
that right."

Snn Luis Obispo, Cal., Aug. I.— A
strip of country 15 miles long by four
miles wiile, rent with gaping fissures
anil dotted with liifls ami knolls that
sprung- 11 p during the night as if In
magic, a village in ruilis and hundred*
of people fleeing for their lives, are
the results of Wednesday night's
seismic disturbances in the valley of
Los Alamos, in the northern part of
Santa Harluira county. During the
last four days that section of coun
try has been shaken by a series of
earthquakes that is without prece
dent. in the history of the Pacific
coast, and the continuance of the
disturbances and the increasing se
verity of Ihe shocks have so terror
ized the inhabitants that they are
leaving for other parts as rapidly as
possible, and even now the village is
almost entirely deserted.
The disturbance began on Sunday
evening with a shock, which caused
much damage to property in the vil
lage and the surrounding country,
being more severe and more disas
trous in the vicinity of the Western
Oil Co.'s oil wells on the Carriga
ranch. This shock was followed by a
number of disturbances less severe,
continuing through the remainder of
Sunday night and Monday. On Tues
day night there were seven shocks,
all of which were light. In action
these disturbances resembled the
waves on a pond of water. The most
, severe shock of the entire series oc
j eurred at 1:30 o'clock Thursday morn
ing.
Hills were shaken and twisted to
their foundations and the valleys
trembled and rolled like the unstable
surface of the ocean, tireat fissures
were run deep in the earth, hills and
knolls appeared in level valleys,
springs of water appeared in places
that had been dry, and the general
topography of the valley was great
ly changed in many respects. The
disturbance had no general direction,
but was what is known as a "twist
er."
When the most serious shock had
passed and the rumbling sound had
died away, the people gathered -n
groups about the ruins of their homes
and places of business and when they
saw the extent of the damage many
of them, fearful of a repetition of
this experience, started on foot or by
any conveyance that could be had,
for places where the previous shocks
had been less severe. With the dawn
of day the stricken village had the
appearance of the ruins of a city long
deserted.
A church had been leveled to the
ground and not one brick building
was left standing. Chimneys had
toppled over, frame buildings had
been wrenched apart and thrown
from their foundations, • telegraph
and telephone wires hail been broken
and there was not a building in town
that had not been damaged more or
less. In store buildings the merchan
' disc was thrown from shelves and
' everything breakable was destroyed;
! not a pane of glass was left in any
window in town, and in those frame
dwelling houses that were left stand
ing. stoves were overturned and
I crockery and glassware were de
-1 stroyed. A conservative estimate of
i the loss to property in the village is
£IO.OOO.
The shock was felt throughout
Santa Barbara and San Louis Obispo
; counties. \t* the Western Union oil
I wells on the Carriga ranch two tanks
were wrecked and much other dam
! age was done.

2,500 inhabitants. Past its doors the

mightiest of inland oceans, emptied
into Lake Huron. Untold millions of

their idly flowing eddies, but only

"Of all the soldiers the king has
decorated within the last three years
of the war for bravery 111 the face
of the enemy none deserves the
Cross for Valor more than himself,
who grimly and silently faced dis
ease and death, unarmed and without
a comrade," says ltichard Harding
Davis, in Collier's Weekly.
"For now that the whole dramatic,
pitiful story is out, England learns
—now that it is too late —of the days
of gnawing pain when her king
forced himself to smile and bow at
court, to watch a horse race, to re
view a regiment, to drive through
London with an assured and cheerful
countenance. Jt is not pleasant to
think of the torture of those days,
of the mental anxiety as well as the
bodily torment, when the king kept
011 his feet against the protests of
his physicians, when his endurance
was tested by hours of unceasing
jiain—pain so great that it is not de
cent to disclose it. Nor is it pleas
ant to remember that last drive
through the park to Buckingham pal
ace, when the people for some reason
failed to cheer him heartily, while
nil the time he sat erect, pale and
with ret teeth, holding himself up
right only by his will, and that they
might be gratified."

T)r. George Dorsey, of the Field

"These inscriptions that the an

Dorsey, "have been found to be
nothing more than the scratches
made by mischievous Hopi children
in the mud of the adobe houses after
they have been freshly built. They
are not mysterious inscriptions at
all. They are only the results of
childish pranks. Of course this dis

feel rather vexed, but the markings

taken for some kind of inscriptions."

Seranton, Ta., Aug. 3.—Tlie first of
the series of strikers' mass meeting's
planned to take place at the various
strike centers was held Friday in
the Round Woods. There were 7,ii(iv)
Strikers present from this city and ad
joiningl towns, some locals having
marched four miles to the meeting,
headed by a hand or drum corps anil
carrying flags and banners. Nation
al President John Mitchell, District
President Nieholls, District Vice
President llyscavage, District Secre
tary Dempsey and Organizer Memolo
delivered addresses, ltyscavage spoke
in Polish and Memolo in Italian.
The crowd cheered all the speak
ers and fairly went wild over Mitch
ell. When he was introduced to
speak some one shouted "Hats off, - '
and although the sun's rays beamed
down so intensely that many were
carried from the crowd exhausted,
every man in the vast assemblage
bared his head and remained uncov
ered until his speech was concluded.
Then the crowd surged about the
platform and shook liis hands until be
was almost exhausted.
Mr. Mitchell's speech dealt only
with the live issues of the fight. He
said in part:
"It has been said by some who are
not your friends that the miners of
the Seranton region are getting tired
of the strike and are about to return
to work. I come to find out if this .s
so. I want to know if you are going l
to return to work, dishonoring your
organization and dishonoring your
selves."
Cries of "Never, never," "No, no,"
"Don't you believe it,"and the like.
"From the ofliees of the coal presi
dents in New York comes the declara
tion that the strike will be settled
only in their own way. I would di
rect your attention to similar declara
tions made in the 1900 strike. The
coal trust may be powerful and
strong, but the American people
whose hearts throb in sympathy with
the miners' cause are stronger than
the coal trust. The American people,
like a jury, have passed upon this
conflict. Ninety per cent, of the peo
ple have agreed that the miners are
right and the operators wrong.
"1 understand there is some dissat
isfaction about the distribution of the
relief fund. The operators have sent
men among you to urge you to be
dissatisfied. We have sent a circular
to all the locals which will explain
the plans for distributing relief, anil
1 trust when you hear it read, there
will be an end to dissatisfaction.
While we have not got millions, we
have enough to see to it that no
miner will starve during the strike.
"The one among you who violates
the law is the worst enemy you have.
No one is more pleased than the oper
ators in New York to hear of dis
order in the coal regions. 1 want our
men to exercise their rights under
the laws, but 1 want no man to
transgress the laws.
"The operators are trying to make
it appear that the strike is beginning
to break up. At Sliamokin the opera
tors tell the strikers that the men
at Wilkesbarre arc reflirning to work.
At Wilkesbarre they tell them that
the men at Sliamokin are returning,
and at other places they tell them
the men at Seranton are weakening.
1 fail to see any signs of weakening
here."
