TutStHTe I'rohibition Convention pass ed resolutions, raised $2,000 for campaign purposes, nominated a ticket and ad journed1. Conditions in the coke region cannot last much longer without a change tak ing place, as every kind cf business there is at a standstill. 'Who gays thirteen is an unlucky num ber? The Suez Canal Company has vot ed an annual pen won of 5,000 francs each to l't le.ejs' thirteen children. The Pittltirjf Tl'jmj.h tells a great truth when it taya "the eiiver-tonzued orator ha? given way tothegugar-tongued statesman." The gold tongue cf the su gar trust Las the floor. That Ohio Republican State ticket nominated laft wet k ought to get 80,0n0 majority this year. Oliio is the only rival Pennsylvania has now in the way of Republican majorities. What a thinking the author of "the Wilson LiU" must keep np these days! He lt health, and nearly his life, before sending it to the Senate. To-day it is not second couj-in to Lis wife's stepmoth- Tiinr.i: is a resolution pending in the New 'Vi. i- constitutional convention ask ing for an investigation of Catholic nun neries in that State, wtik-h is called for by the American Protestant Association and to which the Catholics of that body w ill not oi.ject. Aptee the House talked for ten days on the repeal of the State bank tax bill it quietly killed it before its friends bad a chance to rally to its support. It is a jtood thing that it did not pa.. Just at this time the country is not prejared for w i'.d-cat bank ew indling. TiiEholding of the iHrnocratic State Convention will not be postponed, ac cording to Secretary Harrity. But w hat is the use of holding a Democratic con vention ? It is only a waste of time and money and patience, and the ticket to le nominated w ill be snowed under by over SOO.OuO majority. It is not worth while to attack Attor ney General Gluey for favoring trusts. There is good eridence t show that Lis chief selected Liru to the place well knowing Lis vie e and well aware of the fiict that Lis bread Lad long been butter ed by "the trusts." The recent legisla tion in the Senate thews that the Attor ney General is ia full sympathy with the President and the majority of the Senate. The various election straws now Gash ed upon the Democratic party must make it very tired. Here is a significant one. In the Fourth Judicial district of Illi nois, composed of twelve counties. Cleveland in l'i had a majority of OOOO in eleven of tLe counties. On Mon day a Republican Judge was elected in th? district by .WW majority. On a State election to-day Illinois would give 50,000 Republican majority. If the Coxey delegations visiting Washington should lead in their proces sion a dozen good American rams, that are good butters, and turn them loose on the grass a1 jcut the Capitol, it might do good. History records that " the Beaver family in Pennsylvania was converted by rattlesnakes," and a dczen good rams which felt well and disposed to do their doty might, in a fair tight, make a free wool Congress pretty tore. Graver Clevelasfi will observe that a email zephyr from "the wild and woolly West" Las started up in Oregon. Yy the time it crosses the Kcckies it will be a political cyclone. A President cannot pull down "Old tilery" and shut cp the Nation's workshops and cndermit.e the roiuinerciil protj-erity of the nation without being railed to account. The President and bis rarty Lave been false to the people, and the people w ill eit in judgment. That the Cleveland -Carlisle sugar schedule w as made at the suggestion and order of the sugar trust cannot be doubt ed. Mr. Carlisle acknowledges that Searles and Ileade called upon him "and discussed votes." They were the men, with Havemeyer, w ho demanded ad va lorem duties, and it i litis feature, insert ed by the organ of the administration at their bidding, that will put into tLe pockets of the trust fW.OOO.OU) per year of the op!e's money. It is easily the most open and boldest fraud that was ev er attempted by a law-making body. No other country in the world spends as much money for free schools as docs the United States. Pennsylvania ex pends over $-" ,000,000 per annum, and is now engaged in the disbursement of this vat sum at tLe rate of i 1 50,000 per week. Many of the other stales expend an equal if not greater sum in the same time for like purposes, while the balance of them expend lesser sums, the aggregate cf which will amount to several hundred millions cf dollars every year, and in no instance are their objections to the out lay of so vast an amount of money in the interest of the people. ITokk Smith is preparing to raid the old I'nion pensioners again. He is send ing out a circular letter from the Pension Department notifying them that they must submit to re -examination. The cruel part of this is that he does not dis criminate in sending circulars, but sends them to armless men, legless men and men totally Hind, who, of course, can not be deprived of their pensions, but j w ho get very tench alarmed, and fret and , worry wLen they 'get a noti of that kind. Probably Hoke originates these circulars for the express purpose of an noying the crippled veterans. The finances of the striking tube woik-; ers at McKeefport are said to be very low. There are hundreds of foreigners in the town who every day see the wolf at the door, and no prospect of work. It in a rite, and vet one can baraly commis erate with the men who, for no purpose as a l ! whatever, and merely out oi eympamy for a lot of bo s, quit their work. There was no principle involved, as the men were not interested in or connected with the work of those boya. And now their wives and little children have to suffer, and nobody knows Low long it w ill con tinue, as the tube works management Las shut down indefinitely. The most foolish of all strikes is the sympathy strike.and it is to one of these senseless proceedings that all the trouble in McKeesport is due. Some of the boys in the National tube works asked for higher wages, wLich were refused. Forthwith they went on strike, and then the thousand men in the mill, all of whom were getting pretty good wages and making a good living, struck out of sympathy for the boys, and riot, blood shed, violence and disorder followed. But that is not the worst of it. The strikers will not have any work at ail now, the managers of the mill having de cided t close the works sooner than ac cede to their demands or attempt to start up with new men and cause more disor der. And that is the situation. The mills are closed, the strikers Lave nobody to fight, they are idle and in a sLoit time they will be penniless and their families suffering for the necessaries of life. Was ever a more foolish strike than this "sympathy" strike of the men of Mc Keesport? IlurrUhurg Tihyraih. The Oregon Victory. From the New York Tribune. " The Dutch have taken Holland," says Senator Vest. It would be an insult to his intelligence to suppose that he was trying to tel! the truth about the Oregon election. To him, as to other Democrats, the result of that election must be extremely significant As Maine has been for many years a barom eter of political opinion at the East, so ris ing or tilling pluralities in Oregon have dis closed much of coming events at the West. Bat within the last few years the divisions of party have been so peculiar that "the largest plurality ever given in Oregon" now baa a. very definite meaning. When the same state gave about 7,0u0 Republican plu rality at the June election in.lsS.3 all knew that it foreshadowed Republican victories at the West, for in 11 it had given only 2,2 J and in 1 SsO but G71 plurality. The repeated elections of the Democratic and Populist Governor, Pennoyer, showed that the lowest kind of demagogism was rampant in Ore gon, and the overwhelming defeat of his personal ambition for the Seuatorship, and the election of a Republican Governor by a laree plurality, are sure and cheering s;gns of reaction against nonsense and dishonesty in a state which has produced as much Cox eyisui as almost any other. Two years ago at the June election Repub lican defeats in the West were iairly indicat ed by the result in Oregon. The Populist fanaticism polled U.UtO votes, the Demo crats ,'. j and the Republicans 3l,fi, and the i-artial fusion on a Presidential Elector in November resulted in the choice of one elector for Weaver. Bat dispatches now in dicate that the fusion of Democratic and Populist votes on legislative candidates Las been overwhelmingly beaten, and the Re publican candidate for Governor has about 3j,ii0 votes, against about IM.Ood for the Populist, out of a total Toteof M,G. This result indicates a great change of voters for so small a state. If a tenth of the whole number of voters in a state turn from one sidetotheotber.it means in a state like New York Sjo.vjO majority, and iu a state like Ohio about double tbe plurality given for Governor McKinley. When " the Dutch take Holland" after that fashion. there is not a Northern State in which the Republican pa-ty may not look for double the biggest m j inty it has ever obtained. Tbe mere sizj of tbe majority is not the most significant part of the result The Democratic party has just taken up a new line of defense. It has abandoned, appar ently beyond all hope of recovery, every stale east of Ohio, and bas set itself to cap ture Populist voles at the West and South. It is now loo late to change front again be fore the Presidential election, liven if the income tax shouid be stricken from the rev enue bill by Democratic Senators, the heavy Democratic vote for it in the House would remain to show the purpose of the party . Tbe warfare upon the great inJas'.ries of Eastern Slates has taught a vast body of workers by personal loss or sulring what it means to trust the Democratic parly. But having staked everything on its chance of attracting tbe Populist votes at the West, the Democratic party now Suds that it has no ground to hope for success in a single Westtrn State. The dispatches indicate that the Republi cans have polled in Oregon about 8 oo) more votes than they cast two years .go, drawing part from each of the o,posi:if' factions, but they alio indicate that the Populists have be -'ii giiuing in many counties while the Democrats bare been losing heavily. It is as if IJi'.'O ) of the D.-mocratic voters in New York should east their ballots directly for Republican candidates. Doubtless ma ny Democrats of intelligence and practical business knowledge have been disunited by the leanings of their psrty toward Populist foolishness and knavery, but at the same time more ignoraut voters of that piny bare been led astray by the utterances of Pennoyer and otheis like him. Giins to the Populists from the Democratic ranks appear to have more than made up for tbe loss of many former Republicans, who have doubt less learned their folly and returned to polit ical sanity. Bat precisely the same tenden cies have appeared in other Western Stales. Oregon is bear! more distinctly than the other stales west of Ohio only because it has spoken more loudly. Tbe lesson it teaches ia that ia fishing for Populist votes the Dem ocratic party is almost destroying itself. No State Bank Tax Repeat. A dispatch from Washington says : The House bas killed the unconditional repeal of tbe State bank tax by a vote of 1"2 to 172 on tbe amendment of Oox, of Tennessee, proposing it, and (ben killed the condition al repeal bill, as reported by tbe Committee on Banking and Currency, without a divi sion on the motion to order its third read ing. The defeat of the State bank tax re peal men was overwhelming, the majority, being larger than any one had anticipated. Tbe unconditional repeal amendment was defeated by the almost solid vote of the Northern members o! both parties. Tired of Martyrdom. Coxey, Carl Browne and Jones, despite a'i their professions to the contrary, are tired of martyrdom. Jones, the Philadelphia leader, was only sentenced to 31 days ; the other two had tbe option of serving ten days more or paying each $i fine, Coxey paid the fices and tbe trio were released on Saturday. The applications of Jesse Coxey and Okla homa Sam to parade their "army," when the leaders were discharged from jail, was refused by tbe police authorities. Tbe police put a stop to the Calvin branch of tbe Commocwealera going around the city with a wagon begging provisions. All the Commonwenlersarestarving. Congress man Sibley, although he says he dues not approve of tbe Coxey movement, contribut ed a large quantity of pork and beans and staple provision to tbe men. RIDE A BICYCLE. Columbia, Reading Flyers, and Fashions, both ladies' and gentlemen's wheels opened this week at James B. Holderbaum's Hard ware Store. THE GREAT STRIKE. Tbe miners and operators of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois got together at Columbus O, Saturday to "settle the great strike. That night they all agreed, with the exceptions of the Miners' State President in Ohio, Adaiua, to compromise on a basis of & cents a too for mining in Pennsylvania and GU in Ohio, the two pivotal States. This compromise ia most timely. Strikers at Wheeling Creek, O. ; Pana, I1L, and points in West Virginia were so violent that additional regiments of State troops were ordered out A disobedience of a Federal Court injunction in West Virginia may lead to the ordering out of United Slates troops. Strikers in Iowa, Colorado and Alabama have given up the contest. The conference between Philadelphia coal 0raUrs, tbe operators of Central and West era Pennsylvania and the strikers failed utterly Saturday, and ihe end of tbe long conflict is not jet in sight The meetings at Altoona, Latrobe and Mcroer were adjourn ed without having reached any agreement COKE WOEEEkS SHOT. VsiosTo., Pa., June 10. A battle be tween seven armed depulit and a mob of 3u0 strikers occurred ibis morning at 9 o'clock at the Lemout No. 2 works of the McCiure Coke Com pny, two miles north of here. One striker a Slav, was killed in stantly, and two other Slavs were fatally wouaied. The deputies were surrounded aud tired upon by the strikers before they shot tenth week or tbi coke strike. 1'kioj.tows, June 9. The tuth week of the strike closed to-day and a settlement is apparently no nearer than on the first day of the struggle. The operators coutinue to bring in a few men. mostly negroes from the South, but after three weeks of importing men the fact remains that only 2,000 of the 1 7,ijo ovens of the region are ia blast In all the surrounding coal districts tbe operators seem willing to meet the strikers and attempt to arrange some basis of settle ment, but the coke manufacturers are as firm as on the first day of the strike when they announced that organization in the coke region would never again be recognized by the larger operators, come what may. The plan of starving out the strikers seems to be succeeding poorly, as the public con tributions to the s;r.ke fund and donations of provisions seem to indicate that it will be weeks or months before the strikers and their families are without food. One of the greatest hardships experienced by suikt rsisthe scarcity of fuel. Wood is out of the question, except in a few places, and at tbe coke plants where most ot tbe strikers live the companies have guards who see to it that no striker is allowed to capture a pound of coal. None even will be sold htm w hen they have the money to buy. THE MTL ATIO.I bHAVE. Whlelisi;, Juue 9. Five companies of the West Virginia Slate militia arrived here at O.ov this morning and encamped south of town. They were reinforced by later arri vals, and at 8 30 o'clock moved on the B gg's Run yards. The rioters retreated but placed numerous obstructions at dozens of places along the road into this city, and the troops were several hours moving the first train. No shots were fired, but bayonets were used threateningly and vigorously. The Baltimore and Ohio lines are now completely under guard from Moundsville to Cambridge, Ohio, a distance of nearly fifty miles. At Forty eighth strett, the Ohio county line, the militia were met by several hundred men, women and boys and a heavy volley of slooes and bricks greeted the ad vance. One militiaman was badly hurt. At a number of other points stones were thrown and the militia were hooted and jeered con tinually. THI-ITI AIIOK IX OHIO. Colcmbis, Ohio, June 9. There has been more trouble with the strikers to-day and the joint conference between operators and representatives of the miners has not as yet amounted to anything. Tbe rioters on the Cleveland. Loraine and Wheeling Uad nude a bold stroke at 5 o'clock this morning in burning down Bridge Xo. 4, near Bridgeport, from which place they were driven by tbe militia last night. The destruction of the bridge is complete The advance of mi itia from Bridgeport to Flushing, which was to have occured this morning, is temporarily blocked. An at tempt was also made to blow up another bridge near thai place with dynamite, but failed through the vigilance of a watchman. Two double header coal trains were start ed north from Bridgeport under protection of troops, and they have arrived safely at Wheeling Creek. The Cleveland, Loraine and Wheeling Road sent out four coal trains to day bound for Cleveland. F.ach train had on board a detachment of s-oluiers, who were greeted by hoots and jeers from the miners as the trains passed along the road. No resistance was offered by the miners till the first train reached Barton, eight miles north where it was held np. A train loaded with soldiers went from Bridgeport to Bar ton and the strikers, who were holding the train, were quickly dispersed. Tbe coal trains then started noitbward. 51'BISo!- AND WELLS fOLLCTEi. Five hundred miners marched at Bellaire at 4 o'clock this afternoon, headed by a brass band, and beld a meeting at tbe City Hall. They announced their determination to again take their camp at McCalirsville and hold it against all comers. The blockade at Ben wood has been raised. The springs and wells, where troops have been stationed along the Baltimore A Ohio Road, Lave been polluted with crotonoiland filth, and storekeepers have been Warned in the small towns not to furnish supplies to the soldiers. Miners stoned an engine hauling a coal train at N'etfs Landing. Charles Batiey, the fireman, was struck on tbe bead and his skull fractured. Engineer Swartz was also slightly inj jreJ. Colonel Gyger of the Eighth Regiment, male a search for the saiiants, but they coald not be found. Tbe miners have stopped all trains from crossing the Olio river at Benwood. The striking miners soaped the track on the Cleveland and Pittsburg Road on an up grade last night, near Saleville, and stop ped a freight train ia which were two cars of coal. They unloaded the coal, broke tbe traia into small sections and ran it on a sid ing, beine not particular about setting tbe brakes, and, as a consequence, seven cars loaded with flour were derailed. TUEUE MAT BE A BATTLE. Pckx'ctawskv, Pa., June II. A bat tle may take place to-morrow between coal and iron police, who are guarding tbe new workmen at Berwind, White A Co's. Horatio mines, and the striking miners, who, from all quarters, are massing about the works. Tbe company has its new men boused in stockades which are bullet proof and partially bomb proof, and the works are to be suited to-morrow morning at all hazards. The work of completing tbe barracks was cooiiuutd to day, tbe labor being witnessed by thousands of visitors and miuers. At 10 o'clock last night the new workmen te-ted one of several cannon, which are mounted at the barracks. The report was heard for miles, and caused many persons to think that a battle was in progress at tbe mines. It is reported here to night tbat large delegations of miners from HoutzJaie, Da Bois and Reynoldsville will be here to morrow, and if there is any trouble its like ly to occur then. While many assert thai violence and bloodshed is inevitable, tbe leading miners themselves teem to feel coufident of their ability to keep tbe men under control. Tbey are at least working earnestly and faithfully to that end. MARRIED. BARRON CRAMER. On June 7th. at the home of the bride, by Rev. A. B. Stiller, Mr. Moses Barron, of Barronrale to Mrs. Mary McNeal Cramer, of Middlecreek town tnip, Somerset coun'y. Pa. Chicago's apple famine has forced tbe price np to $50 a barrel, or 12 cents apiece. Drop The Stanford Suit. Wasbisgtox, June 7. The action of Attorney-General OIney in bringing suit for $15,0U,0U0 against the estate of tbe late In land Stanford on account of possible liabili ties arising out of Central Pacific Railroad bonds was brought to the attention of the Senate this morning by Mr. Hoar (Rep., Mass.) who offered a resolution directing tbe Judiciary Committee to inquire into tbe justice and equity of the claim, and to re port whether it was expedient that it should be forthwith relinquished. It seemed to him, Mr. Hoar said that the Government ought at once to consider the question of absolutely relinquishing and patting the claim at rest. He did not sup pose that anybody had ever seriously im agined that Mr. Stanford's estate was liable for the debt of tbe Central Pacific Railroad Company to the Government But whether there was a technical claim or whether there was a claim founded in law aud equity, Mr Stanford's great estate bad been devoted to a public purpose. It was one of the most il lustrious examples of public benefaction. He had met their late esteemed colleague in the south of France the year before last a few months before bis death, and when the disease which terminated bis life was already becoming master, and Mr. Stanford bad then expressed his feelings in relation to the great property which he had accuniulaled, and declared, in his simple fashion, his sim ple religious faith. He said that he did not care much for the creeds of the Churches, but that of one thing he was certain tbat the Creator of the universe was benevolent and beneficient, aad bad designed all His creatures for happiness. He said that he believed tbat with the great resources of this country every Ameri can citizen ought to have, without severe and degrading labor, the necessaries and com forts of life, and that Lis children ought to receive a good educational the public charge. Mr. Stanford bad spoken of the devotion of his property to that great end, and had express ed the hope tbat every child on tbe Pacific Coast, of tbe poorest as well as of the richest, should receive a good education. Whether the Government had a claim against that estate or not, it was certain that it would take twelve or fifteen years to have it settled in the courts. Its prosecution would not merely distress the closing years of the life of Mr. Stanford's widow (that was a personal question, which might not be con sidered in the performance of a public duty) but it would postpone, imperil, embarrass and perhaps entirely destroy that great bene faction. If there was Socialism, which had truth or justice in it, it was the Socialism which devoted the wealth of the rich to the education of the poor. Tbe Government of tbe United States ought as soon as the prop er legislation could be devised and enacted, to put theq iM'ion at rest, and say that without attjeting in tbe least tbe Govern ment's claim against others, the devotion of Mr. Stanford's wealth, to the eiucition of the poor of tbe Pacific Coast should take immediate effect, without embarrassment and without delay. He hoped that the Ju diciary Committee of the Senate would deal with the question at once, and that the Sen ate would do tbe same. State Tax Conference. Harrisbcbo, Pa , June 8. The work of the Stale Tax Conference now gives promise of good results. A meeting of the Confer ence was held in the Senate Chamber to day with nineteen of the twenty?ight members present. The committee cn tbe principles of taxation was directed to prepare a bill having for its purpose the equalization of taxation in the state. The committee was enlarge.! so as to in clude two representatives from each of the six great interests of the state represented in the conference agriculture, railroads and transportation, manufacturers, commerce and finance, labor and association of county commissioners, representing real estate. The report of tbe commission on valua tion and taxation through its chairman, Joseph D. Weeks, of Pittsburg, presented its report embraced under the following sub jects : Selling price, assessed valuation and taxation of real estate in Pennsylvania ; val uation and taxation of railroads in Penn sylvania ; valuation and taxation of street railroads and passenger incline planes in Pennsylvania ; valuation and taxation of canal and navigation companits; valuation and taxation of manufacturing establish ments; building and loan associations; mortgage indebtedness in the United States and Pennsylvania ; total taxes paid in Penn sylvania. The conference showed its approval of the commission's labors by tendering it a vote of thanks and directing Chairman Weeks to finish tbe other reports which be has uuder way. hen completed they will be issued for the benefit of tbe conference and those directly interested, as will also the bill to be formulated by the committee on principles of taxation. A Stage Robber Shot Down. TtuLtycAH, I. T., June 9. Tbe attempt of a lone highwayman to rob the stage running between this place and Gibson City to-day resulted in the loss of three lives and the wounding of one person. The killed are Levi Saunders, a half-breed Indian, who held up the stage, C. A. Kenny, a passenger. Mrs. Duncan, who, with her son, encoun tered Saunders as be was making bis escape, Tbe stage left here this morning with seven passengers on board. Eight-Hour Law Invalid. Liscoli, Neb., June 9. The Supreme Court has handed down a decision declaring the eight hour a day labor law nnconstitu tional. Ia the opinion, the Court held that tbe provisions are unconstitutional, first, be cause tbe discrimination against farm and domestic laborer is special legislation ; sec ond, because the act in question, the consti tutional right of parties to contract with reference to compensation, is denied. Prohibition Ticket. me i rouioiuon Male convention was beld at Williamsport, Pa., last week. Ho mer L. Castles, of Pittsburg, was temporary and permanent presiding officer as well as one cf the nominees. The ticket nominated is as fo'lows : Governor, Charles L. Hawley, of Scranton ; lieutenant governor, Homer L. Castles, of Pittsburg; auditor general. Charles Palmer, of Delaware; secretary of internal affairs, L. R. Gleason, of Delaware ; congressman-at-large, E. K. Kane, of Kane, and Rev. L. G. Jordan, of Philadelphia. Following is a synopsis of the platform : We declare the liquor traffic the foe of mor ality, the arch-enemy of popular govern ment and a public nuisance. The traffic in intoxicating liquors as a beverage in what ever form must be prohibited ; there should be no discrimination against any citizen in civil rights on account of sex ; the right of suffrage should depend on an intelligent qualification of the citizen. There should be county high schools at public expense under local supervision ; no sectarianism in public schools should be tolerated. Sunday laws should be enforced. Naturalization laws should be so amended as to extend the time of residence required by foreigners be fore they may become citizens. Trusts or ccmbinations should be prohibited and sup pressed by law. Differences between em ployers and employes should be adjusled by arbitration. The President Vice President and United States Senators should be elected by a direct vote of tbe people, Tbe ques tion of tariff should be adjusted through non-partisan commissions. LAWN MOWERS. A handsome line and cheap. For sale by Jas. B. Holderbacm. Hearing his little brother scream in tbe street at Reading, Charles F. Meikel rushed out with a gun. Two docs had attacked the child, and Charles leveled his shotgun at tbe canines and fired. Tbe dogs were not bit, but Mrs. EJ. Ma'x aud Frank Trumbull were. Part of tbe load entered Mrs. Matz's tace, and several shot penetrated Trumbull's leg. Fifteen Men Drowned. Dexveb, June 8 At least l." members of the Denver contingent of Coxey's army lost their lives by drowning in the riatte river at Brighton last night. Four bodies have been washed ashore. The other bodies were carried down tbe river. One man found drowned at Brighton bas been identifi ed as Charles McCune, a Missouiian, a mem ber of the Utah contingent. The Coxeyitea yesterday started off 3w0 strong in 20 boats, which bad been built of light material Tbe storms bad greatly swollen the stream, and a very high wind made navigation extremely dangerous. It was McKays bridge, about six miles above Brighten, that caused the most trouble. The flood poured under it with the speed of a mill race, and there, hidden by the stream, were barbed wires stretched across to prevent the passing of stock under the bridge at low water. The wire caught many of the boats and overturned them. About 25i) men are now encamped beside the river at Brighton drying their clothes and recuperating. A large number of men s)enl the night in the trees along the banks of the river, and several were left on islands. A searching party was sent out this morning to help these men. The men claim tbat Commodore Hig giuson was drunk and lacking all the es sential qualities of a leader. They attribute the disaster to his mismanagement. Tha Coxeyites will make no further attempt to go cast by water. Death of Bill Dalton. Ardxore, I. T., June 9. Bill Dalton, the noted outlaw and leader of the famous band of outlaws, is reported killed. One of his pals visited Ardmore yesterday and by incautious talking aroused the suspi cions of the deputy marshals, who organized and surrounded the robbers near a little town named Elk, about twenty miles distant While the men were taking their position, Dalton was seen to come out, look around and immediately return. The officers on tbe east side were dis covered by him through a window, or by some women in the house and, pistol in haod. he jumped through a window on the north and started to run east. Clos Hart, one of the deputies, was less than thirty yards from the house, aud called on him to halt. Dalton turned around, tried to take aim while run ning aud just thea the olticer shot Two juniis in the air were tbe only mo tions made by Dalton. His pistol fell from his hand and be sank to the ground. Hart ran up and asked him what be was doing there, but be wai to neat dead to reply, and expired Withou; a word. The house was searched, and over 15" letters, besides nu merous roll f crisp bank bills were found, The addresses proved him to be Bill Dalton and the money proved him to be the leader of the Longview bank robbers. His wife, who is in Ardmore, became hysterical, but soon recovered and telegraphed C. H. Bliv ens, 1407 Vanness avenue, Sao Francisco, and relatives in Kingfisher, O. T., that her husband was dead. The Parrot Told It. New York, June 7. New York has no Liars' club, so the story told in court to-day by Daniel Maboney must be true. He ac cused his son John of larceny and he was beld in f 2.w0 bail for trial. John is 19years old and does not live at home. Last night he broke into bis father's house at 517 West Twenty-third street by climbing over neigh boring roofj and forcing the scuttle, H arrayed himself in a suit of his own clothes, and, it is said, took a gold locket worth $.V). When Mr. Maboney went home later in the day his parrot, which bad been a mute but watchful witness of young Mahouey's raid, shouted : " Say, old man, tbe house has been robbed !" The old gentleman swears that this is the truth. He looked around and found that the parrot was right. "Who did it?" he asked. "Johnnie dons it" replied the bird. So Mr. & ahoney went right out and had his son arrested. He says he will call the parrot as a witness when the case comes to trial. Crossing the Atlantic Usually involves sea sickness. When the waves play pitch and toss with you, strong indeed must be tbe stomach that can stand it without revolting. Tourists, commercial travelers, yachtsmen, mariners, all testify tbat Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is the best remedy for tbe nausea experienced in rough weather on tbe water. Nervous and weekly travelers by land often suffer from something akin to this, aud find in the bitters its sur est remedy. No disorder of the stomach liver or bowels is so obstinate that it may not be overcome by this prompt and thor ough reo.edy. Equa ly efficacious is it for chills and fever, kidney and ibeumatic trouble and nervousness. Emigrants to the frontier shouid provide themselves with this fine medicinal safeguard against tbe effects of vicissitudes of climate, hardship, expos ure and fatigue. Will Camp for the Summer. Baltimore, June 8. Governor Brown has ordered the Maryland troops at Froslburg to go into camp for an indefinite period. This action a ill reak the backbone of the Georges Creek strikers. Those who were willing to work were afraid to resume be cause of the threats of harm to come as soon as the troop) were withdrawn. It was not expected that the militia would remain for more than three or four days.
