and killed W. A. Mallard, secretary and
treasurer uf the company, and Robert
Hamilton., Its president, and then killed
himself with the same weapon.
A second revolver, loaded la every
chamber, was found in Turner's pocket
and it lb believed he planned to take
more lives than he did. The shooting
was caused by a quarrel between the
three men over s. shoitage in Turner's,
accoiidts, for which he was threatened
with criminal prosecution.
Tbe tragedy occurred lu the offices
of the law Arm of Cantor, A.lams &
Mclntyre In the heart of the Wall
street district during the busy noon
hour.
The three men met In tho law office
by appointment to allow Turner to
make a partial settlement and he was
asked for a certified check.
"I havo it," he said, and then closed
the door of the room. An Instant latet
he drew a revolver and began firing.
Mallard fell shot through the heart
ant Hamilton lived only a few mo
ments. A number of other persons
who were In the room, clerks and mem
bers of the firm, fled in a panic. Aftet
killing Hamilton and Mallard, Turner
shot himself In the head. Some mo
ments later hearing no more shots,
those who had fled ventured back into
the room and found the three bodies.

Fierce Electric Storms.
Telegraphic dispatches received in
Rochester from Dansvllle, Livingston
county, state that the electrical storm
of Satuiday afternoon and night was
unusually severe in that vicinity. The
lightning was almost Incessant
throughout the afternoon and evening.
Shortly after the passing of the
worst of the storm the entire country
side is said to have been illuminated
by the glare of fires. Barns and sheds
on the lionner farm, filled with grain
and beans; a barn on the Hampton
farm; a barn In West Sparta and a
church in Sparta were burned to tho
ground.
Fires have been seen In the direc
tion of Sonyea, but nothing has been
learned of the damage In that direc
tion. It was the most destructive storm
which has visited the vicinity In years
and the damage can not be estimated
until further reports are received al
though It will run Into the thousands.
Llghnlng also caused heavy damage
at Bath, Steuben county, Saturday
night.
A bolt struck the house of Livery
man Arnillng at Brldgewater, setting It
on fire. On the Schuyler road, three
mile3 from Utica. lightning struck on
the farm of Percy Budlong, killing nine
cows and burning three bams and
their contents.
Notable Advance In Wheat.
Bradstreet's says of tbe state of
trade:
With the settling of the great coal
strike of l!)u2, the most remarkable
In some respects of modern records,
practically the only unfavorable feat
ure in general trade and Industry dis
appears. While relief to the public
mind is, perhaps, the most immediate
result, it Is natural to expect that pres
ent abnormal prices and conditions in
fuel supply will gradually disappear.
All other trade developments thli
week are largely favorable. Now that
the coal strike Is apparently endeJ, a
big weight has been lifted from East
ern retail business, and this hitherto
rather backward branch is expected
to Improve. Jobbing demand 1b also
better.
The strength of the cereals Is a
feature deserving special mention.
Wheat has made a notable advance,
partly because of the exceptionally
good rash demand on milling account
(flour production at present being
prartically of record proportions).

will be strong enough to defeat the ef
forts of those who favor ending the
strike by arbitrating their differences
with the operators.
It Is estimated that 25 per cent of
the collieries will be In operation on
the first day after the suspension Is
over.

MINERS IN CONVENTION
Serious Ouestion Over Engi
neers, Firemen and Pumpmen.
Mr. Mitchell Laid President's Plan Bo
fore the Convention and Advocated
It In an Eloquent Speech Newspa
per Men Admitted Despite Some
Opposition.
Wilkes-Barre, Oct. 21. The anxi
ously awaited convention of the 145,
000 striking miners met Monday but
did not reach a vote on the proposed
ptan of settlement It 1b expected tc
do so some time today.
There were 6fi2 delegates present in
the Nesbltt theater, where the con
vention was held, and they were em
powered by their local unions to cast
867 votes for or against President
Roosevelt's proposition of arbitration.
The great majority of the delegates
were unlustructed, tho few who were
being engineers, firemen and pumpmen
who fear that the 5,000 strikers of tho
classes may not get back their old
places now held by non-union men.
This question of the engineers
flit-men and pumpmen proved the only
stumbling block in the way of almost
immediate adoption of the president'!
plan, which carries with it tbe de
claring oif of the strike and a general
resumption of work thiough the 173
mile strip of hard coal mining region.
At one time it scmed certain that
tbe convention was about to a lopt the
recommendation of President MU
chell to end the strike, but the steam
men's plea was too earnest and the
final vote went over until today. It is
practically certain, however, that the
vote to declare the strike off will show
a big majority for it.
The leaders of the strikers, excepl
Mr. Mitchell, were hardly heard at all
In the convention, the engineers being
allowed to give full expression to
their feelings. But today It is pre
dictel the leaders will be heard and
one of them, a high district officer,
said there would be no more than 15
votes cast against the plan which the
president of the United States had
proposed to them and which all the
highest officials of the mine workers
In this region earnestly have recom
menled.
Committee on Resolutions Appointed.
There were two session? yesterday,
forenoon and afternoon and the net re
suit as regards the progress of the
convention towards Its object was a
permanent organization with Mr. Mit
chell in the chair, his speech laying
the president's plan before the dele
gates, his oloquent Impromptu speech
advocating its adoption and the ap
pointment of a commitee on resolu
Hons.
This committee, as Mr. Mitchell said
to the delegates, would prepare a for
mal statement to the public telling
fully and carefully why the convention
docl.Ied to continue the strike If It
should so decide, and why the strike
was declared off, If that was the out
rime of their deliberations.
The question before the convention
when It adjourned for the day was on
the adoption of a resolution embodied
In President Mitchel's opening speech
to call off the strike and leave all
questions to the president's commis
sion.
The convention decided to admit
newspaper representatives to all Its
sessions, cpen and executive, so that
the public whose opinion and symp
athy had helped the strikers so much
In their fight might have an accurals
report of the occurrences at the con
vention. District President Nichols, of Scran
ton, called the convention to order at
10:20 o'clock. On account of pre
sure of business at strike headituarteis
President Mitchell was unable to be
present until the afternoon session.
The call for the convention was rea I
and three di-strlct secretaries. John T.
Dempsey of Scranton. John P. Gallagh
er of Hazleton and George Hartleln ol
Shamokin were appolnlei a commit
tee on credentials.
Owing to the late arrival of some ol
the delegates, the reports were not
lulte '-ompl'-te and it was decided to
proced no further until the reports
were corrected and passed on finally
by the convention.
Sweet Welsh Singers.
The routine proceedings were fol
lowed by singing, the suggestion hav
ing been made that the convention bo
entertained for a while by some of the
"Sweet Wel'h singers" of the organi
zation. A delegate from the Wyom
lng Valley caused a storm of enthus
iasm by singing a song entitled "Give
three cheers for Mitchell for the strike
that we have won." Song and short
speeches by other delegates followed
and the titriKin mine workers for the
time being seemed to have forgotten
their troubles. At 11:45 adjournment
was taken until afurnoon.
The afternoon session began at 2: .
The final reports of the three d s
trlct secretaries rompiising the cre
dentials committee was called for and
they showel a total of 62 delegates
present authorized to cast 8'17 votes.
The proceedings for a while niovd
rapidly. Without any spoech making
Mr. Mitchell was elected permanent
chairman and National Secretary
Treasurer W. B. Wilson was selected
as the permanent secretary.
Just as the cheering for the election
of the two officers was ended, Pres
blent Mitt hell at 2:30 walked on tho
stage. The instant the delegate? saw
him thi' rose en masse ami cheered
their lea lor for several minutes.
When the enthusiasm bad subsided
$1.00 PEli ANNUM.
a:i outburst of ancther character was
preclpiled. Objection was made by
a delegate to the presence of the cor
respondents, If the strikers not dele
gate3 who were standing In great num
bers In the street In front of the hall
could not be admitted.
Non-Delegates Burst In.
A debate followed, and suddenly a
rush was heard in the upper gallery
Some one had burst open the door
from the outside and the theater was
soon filled with almost as many union
men who were not delegates aa thero
were delegates.
Confusion reiened for a time and
President Mitchell, after ho had ro
stored quiet, came to the rescue and
suggested that the public be permit
ted to remain until the convention
reached Buch business as would war
rant the convention In closing the
doors.
This was adopted and the strike
leader began reading his carefully pre
pared opening address.
The address was followed with tha
closest attention by the delegates
Those who expected him to tell all he
knew of the situation with referencs
to the arbitration commission and
questions of having all the men obtain
their former positions, were disap
pointed, as he reserved this for his
later remarks when the question was
actually bn ueht before the delegates.
At various stages of the reading of
the address, Mr. Mitchell was applau 1-
ed, but when he urged the deleeater;
to adopt tho recommendations of the
executive boards to call eft the strike
"and all men are then to work In the
positions they occupied before tho
strike was Inaugurated," tremenduus
applause greeted the remark.
The moment he finished, a Wilkes-
Barre delegate was on his feet and
moved that the reoommen lations con
tained In President Mitchell's addresH
be adopted. If this had been acted
upon at once the strike would have
been off and the convention's work
done, but those In opposition would not
have it that way. They wanted to
and did debate the matter until the
adjournment after 5 o'clock.
A Panther Creek engineer was first
to take the floor In opposition to
accepting the plan until he and his
colleagues had seme assurance they
wr.uld be reinstated In their old po
sitions.
"The companies have declared" he
said, " that they will not dismiss the
men now employed by them and place
ptrll.ers In their positions."
At this point a delegate arose and
asked Mr. Mitchell to express his
views on the subject. He Immediately
responded and made one of the most
Important addresses ho has been
called on to make during the past five
months. Ho spoke slowly and clearly
and every word was listened to with
the deepest Interest. It proved to be
the real speech of the day.
His remarks were greeted with ap
plause. Another delegate made a
speech against ending the strike
without definite assurance of rein
statement, and .Mr. Mitchell was again
called upon for an explanation of the
status of the arbitration plan as it now
stands.
Then the delegates again took up the
debate. Many of the delegates spoke
with great earnestness. Three of
them were willing to return to work
and trust to the union to do justice
to th 'iu. Another was willing to leave
the whole matter in the hands of Pres
ident Roonevelt'B commission and
another said: "If I can't get my Job
I can look for another one, therefore
let us go to work and give tha Ameri
can people some coal "
The sentiment of the last speaker
was loudly applauded. After further
debate on both sides It was decided
to let the question go over until morn
ing. A committee on resolutions was then
appointed and at 5:18 p. m. the conven
tion adjourned until 10 o'clock this
morning.
The committee Is composed of the
following delegates and officers of the
union:
President Mitchell, Secretary Wil
son. District Presilents Nichols, Duffy
and Fa-hy, Delegates P. F. O Hora of
Dunmorc, Adam Itescavagne of Ply
mouth, John L. Jones of Plymouth,
James Gallagher of Hazleton, William
McKlhenny of Conl Dale, Andrew Mat
ty of Hazleton, Thomas Thomas of
Minersville, Paul Pulaski of Mt. Carmel
and Louis Cupp of Tremont.
The resolutions committee met and
outlined a set of resolutions to be
presented tn the convention.
Nothing official was given out as to
what tin y will contain. It is probable
;hey will recommend the acceptance of
the arbitration plan; that all griev
ances be submitted to the commission
appointed by president; that all men
who shall not find immediate employ
ment shall he taken care of by the
union until they get positions, nn 1 thit
organized labor throughout the world
and other organizations and individ
uals be thanked for the assistance
given the mine workers during their
struggle.
