RUMOR or RESIGlATtOI OF DIJIZ CAUSES GREAT STIR A member of Troop f>, who helped in the arrest of .Martin staled yesterday that it did not appear to him that the boy had been drinking. Taniga. the man who is in the Adrion hospital here with a bullet through his lung, another victim of Martin's gun, is getting along nicely and it is thought that he will recover. It is said that ho and Martin quarreled every lime they met. Fifteen minutes after Kach left home Saturday night he was brought back a corpse. He was highly thought, of by every resident of Rossiter and there is apparently no sympathy for Martin in the town. Feeling against Martin is running high in Iloslter and it is feajed that there will be trouble when he is returned to that place for a preliminary hearing. It would now seem, however, that John Kaoh, the man who was instantly killed In young Martin, was not a participant in the brawl. According to reliable authority he was in a butcher .simp nearby when the lirst shot rang out. He ran from the butcher shop to the scene of the trouble and seeing Martin with the gon endeavored to wrest it from him. Martin, it is said, drew back and fired with the point of the gun almost in Kach's face. Death was instantaneous.There seems to be some doubt as to the cause of the shooting at Rossiter on Saturday night, and no two persons who witnessed the tragedy, tell the same story of the affair.

CUT OUT THE CUT-DOT Temporary repairs wort* mado Sunday afternoon and yesterday a new pole went up in the pi are of the broken one. The pole was apparently sound and from the exterior showed not a defect. Inside, however, it was rotted clear through. This condition may exist in numerous other poles. Accidents of the gravest nature might Inavoided by a careful inspection of all poles by the owning companies. The high wind of Sunday afternoon broke an electric light pole in the rear of the Walker barber shop and sent it crashing to the sidewalk with its 'burden of live wires, missing John McAndrews, warden of the borough bastile, by only a few inches. What might have happened had the landlord of the borough inn been standing a few inches southward at the time of the crash, is horrible to contemplate.

"James William Doran, well known to glass-workers throughout this region for the past fifteen years as "Jimniie, the skimmer," was found lying in sixteen inches of sulphur water under the it., ft. & P. railroad bridge on the "brewery switch" by James Taylor, switchman on the yard crew, while his engine was doing some work in the south yards about 1 1 o'clock yesterday morning.

It is probable that, once the B. & S. company sets back on its feet, and dividends begin coming into the treasury, that considerable branching out will bo in order and eventually its coal holdings will be a big asset for this community. In view of the foregising the only explanation that can life given of J.ie abandonment of OruCndaga is the policy of retrenchment that was adopted i>y Receiyfi- Miller immediately aftyr the aHmpany was put In his it Is said, in order to place the B. & S. on its feet once more, decided fo cut down the payroll as the first step towards economy, and the natural sequence was the shutting down of Onondaga, as that was the most expensive place at which coal was mined. The receiver's aim at present seems to be to centralize the coal production, cutting down the cost of power, maintenance of plants, etc. Incidentally, it is this policy that has boomed Sagamore, as the men there are kept busy all I he time fining orders that under ordinary circumstances would have been divided among several towns.

The miner states that at the time of the shutting down they had b6en getting into better coal every day, and I. is probable that if they had continued coal of the very best quality would have been secured, as the B. & S. and the R. & P.

Yesterday Contractor John Kline, of DuBois, and a forte of 20 laborers commenced dismantling some of the buildings at Onondaga. It cannot bo aseertainell whether the dismantling will uroceed so far as to Include tllV plant, better class houses and the company store, or not. It Is not likely, however, that anything but the less pretentious houses, which iiave been used as boarding places, will be removed at present.

The railroads are si ill holding an immense number of box, stock and passenger cars in the immediate vicinity of San Antonio. Taken us an indication of the "way the wind is blowing," it was learned today that the lT.

In the 1'nited States District Court today Judge Swaun listened to arguments on the application of Godfrey M. Hyams. of New York for an injunction against the Calumet and Hecla Mining Company to prevent its merger with the Osceola Company. The petitioner asks that the proposed consolidation be decreed void, as an attempt to form an unlawful trust, or monopoly, and combination of capital in restraint of trade. Mr. Hyams, who has been prominently identified with the management of the Osceola properties, declares that, if the merger plan is carried out, it will work an injustice to Osceola stockholders and result in a great financial loss to them. Special to The Spirit 15,000 MINERS TO STRIKE It Is probable that another change will be made In the provisions of the primary bill, relating to the qualification of voters.

Switzerland's absinthe prohibition law is proving a lizzie. Liquor dealers declare more of the drink is being consumed in the country now before its manufacture and sale was prohibited. Its sale is attended with some risk, it is true, but the demand is so enormous that it simply has to be met. Prohibition apparently simply called the Swiss people's attention to the fact that they liked absinthe. J. B. EBEHHART CO., I-td The President told the chief he would have to submit.

The bill, which was introduced by V. Q. Robinson, Delaware, was on third reading and was attacked immediately by Mr. Uoney. Philadelphia, who, after assailing the increase as unnecessary, attacked the police in vigorous terms, calling the men a "medieval cohort." Mr. Mc- Mullin, Northumberland, also attacked the constabulary, and Mr. Kobison, Allegheny, in the course of II speech In which had assailed the service of the police in Sohoenville, 'declared that instead of the force being open to citizens of the I nited States, It would be restricted to sons of veterans. The discussion of the bill took place in a crowded hall, the aisles and galleries being filled, scores of people being attracted by the speeches, especially when Mr. Hillman. Democrat, Berks, took a diametrically opposite stand from his Socialistic colleague. Mr. Maurer. The two members from Berks indulged in several spirited colloquies.

The debate lasted for over two hours and most of tin- time members were either busy attacking or defending the constabulary. An effort was made to take away some of the opposition by a motion to go into committee of the whole for the purpose of amending so as to reduce tlie salaries of the officers of the department. but to allow the men a salary of $7f» instead of $G0, as at present, but the motion was defeated by the narrow margin of two votes in a total of 138 cast.
