He was placivd in the caboose of a south bound train, for the purpose of returning home. At an early hour tills morning, while the train was at Forest City, a collision occurred- Another train crashed into the caboose, and the caboose was set on lire," presumably by the lieadllR-ht of the locomotive that collided with it.'

Persons who witnessed the accident rushed to his assistance and he was taken into the house and medical aid summoned, Dm. Houser and Olmstead responded and diagnosed the case as one of heat prostration. They worked over the man for hours, but their efforts were unavailable. He gradually grew worse and shortly before !) o'clock last night breathed his last. What makes the accident a particularly sail one is the fact that Mrs. Davis died less than a week ago from paralysis.

Tokyo, July 1!).—Sensational news is expected generally in consequence of a report that started last night as a rumor and gained weight steadily to the point of semiofficial continuation, the report being that the fall of Vladivostok was in sight and that a siege of that city had been begun by a new Japanese army. The war office at 1 o'clock this morning was noncommittal as to the rumor, but it was commented ou widely that the authorities did not deem It proper to utter a denial. It is believed the war hoard in tin? fullness of time will publish an official statement regarding the story.

Everybody understands Vladivostok is no such almost impregnable position as was Port Arthur, and there arc not wanting men having direct connection with leading otlicials to hazard the opinion that Vladivostok will be iu Japanese hands this summer.

It is UMsmned the new army was taken north in transports that were consorts of those conveying troops to Sakhalin island. The move, it is known, was part of the Japanese programme before I "resident Koosevelt took uny step toward peace preliminaries between .Japan and Kussia. Neither the war office nor the admiralty has abated one of its plans in the recent advance negotiations for peace, as was shown when the Japanese retook Sakhalin from the enemy. The dispatch of an army to the country north of Vladivostok under cove* of re-enforcing the Sakhalin detachment is recognized as another instance of the secrecy with which the government hedges its intentions. Other cities were hotter than this. Philadelphia, Baltimore and, strangely enough, Atlantic City led the list, each with a record of 1)8 degrees. Buffalo was the coolest place, 78 degrees being the maximum, but this was exceptional. Many northern cities exceeded the record of New Orleans, where it was only 80. President Mitchell, In opening, referred to an address \\ hiC4i he listened to from iiishop Spalding, delivered in Scranton some time Ago, when bishop had compared the results -.of the efforts of the union with the conditions which had existed before, contrasting these conditions with the difference between darkness anil light. In addition to these charges another of assault was lodged ag&lnst Charles Judge, who is accused of assaulting A. H. Woerlicke, the watcher for the City party, at the last election. Woerlicke asserts that when he tried to prevent the placing of votes in the ballot box he was thrown out of the polling booth by Judge, assisted by Jack Falvey, an ex-prl7.e fighter. Falvey was also arrested on the same charge. The action in trespass against the city has developed from the recent trouble In the alloy running from Water street to Dock street, a, part of which, the Heap family contends, belongs to them. In order to substantiate their claim that the city has no public alley running between, the streets mentioned a fence was erected by the Reaps on what they claim was their ground. It ran,;,dlrectly across the alley and completely blocked Young William Ziegler 1h a sou ot George Washington Brandt of Daven port, la., n half brother of Mr. Zleg ler. He was formally adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Zlegler in 1890, when flv« years old. As far as can be learned, one of the miners took two boxes of dynamite containing a total of 'Jfl sticks, into the mine in a car. The car was switched into his chamber and the laborer, not noticing the boxes, loaded the ear, and It was taken out to the breaker. Working hours were reduced everywhere, and In some places work was entirely suspended. In Newport drill iu the forts and on the warships was abandoned. Two mail deliveries hi •Brooklyn and iu Newark were stop ped. Mr. Mitchell said: "We tark of conditions which existed In the past for fear that men would forget." He their went into a comparison of the conditions which existed five years ago with the conditions existing at the present timC», citing the fact that the I'lilted Mine Workers had trained for the men employed about the mines an average increase of 27 per cent, in their wages. In addition to this, they had secured a decrease In the price of powder, ami a practical abolishment of the company store. Along with these and many other Improved conditions, the mine workers had secured a positive recognition of the union, arid a conciliation board which guaranteed a fair consideration of the grievances of the mine workers. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Shortly afterwards the miner, needing some of the explosives, went to get It, and being unable to find It or the car, questioned the laborer, who Informed him that the car had been loaded and taken from the chamber.

As soon as he touched the metal of the instrument he felt a severe shock and made an endeavor to pull his hand away. He was unable to do so, however, and the electricity, which was quite powerful, made him. extremely uncomfortable.

Zemstvoists Gathered In Moscow Said to Favor a Regency, Prepared to C;lvc Power to St. Petersburg. July 10.—Panic reigns in official circles orer a report current last night that the doumaists und zemstvoists gathered in Moscow for the all Hussian congress were resolved to issue a proclamation calling for the retirement of Emperor Nicholas and the substitution for the czar of a regency to rule pending the coming of age of Orand Duke Alexis Nikolaievitch, the heir apparent. most peculiar costume—that is, to American eyes, her dress being quite short and of the hoop-skirt variety. It was ol' a bright hut', and, in connection with her other belongings. Including a handkerchief loaded with cjothing, lent a strange appearance to her.

Officer Council brought her up town and found an interpreter who spoke to her. He learned that people of the name of her relatives lived in Sturmerville and he telephoned to several Polish storekeepers in that section until be was able to locate the man wanted. The officer found out that the girl was expected there, she having come direct from Hungary. He returned and found that the traveler had only a. $fD bill.

National President John Mitchell attended the district convention of the United Mine Workers. In Dunmore, this morning, and the speech which he delivered was received with great enjthusiasm. 11 was, in fact, the chief feature of this morning's session of the convention. Mr. Mitchell's address followed the lines which he has laid down for his expressions during his present tour of the anthracite region. He dwelt especially on the In relating the power* of the union, Mr. Mitchell said that Truesdale was quoted, when a conference of operators was called prior to the strike of 1902, as having said: what's the use. Mitchell dure not order a strike; he has not f?ot the "Oh The idea of deposing the emperor in favor of his infant son was discussed freely last evening in the clubs and cafes. It was suggested that four of the adult grand dukes be appointed Joint regents. The zemstvoists are not devoted to the erar's collateral relatives, but they recognize such a regency would be the least revolutionary step they could take. "This," the speaker said, "is the secret of your power; if you have a strong: organization there will he no necessity for a strike to sustain fair wage conditions. You have the evidence that if you had a strong- organization in 1!)02 there would have been no necessity of a strike.

A strong organization is the greatest guarantee of industrial men organized "issues of 1 HOB." calling attention to the fact that the present agreement with the operators expires next April and that It will then be for the miners to present new demands to their employers. There has been much talk of demands for an 8-hour day and for the weighing of coal, he said, and it will be for the miners to determine what demands shall be made. Ho urged upon the miners the necessity for thorough organization if they would give power to their demands.

Tokyo, July 1!).—Sensational news is expected generally in consequence of a report that started last night as a rumor and gained weight steadily to the point of semiofficial continuation, the report being that the fall of Vladivostok was in sight and that a siege of that city had been begun by a new Japanese army. The war office at 1 o'clock this morning was noncommittal as to the rumor, but it was commented ou widely that the authorities did not deem It proper to utter a denial. It is believed the war hoard in tin? fullness of time will publish an official statement regarding the story.

Everybody understands Vladivostok is no such almost impregnable position as was Port Arthur, and there arc not wanting men having direct connection with leading otlicials to hazard the opinion that Vladivostok will be iu Japanese hands this summer.

It is UMsmned the new army was taken north in transports that were consorts of those conveying troops to Sakhalin island. The move, it is known, was part of the Japanese programme before I "resident Koosevelt took uny step toward peace preliminaries between .Japan and Kussia. Neither the war office nor the admiralty has abated one of its plans in the recent advance negotiations for peace, as was shown when the Japanese retook Sakhalin from the enemy. The dispatch of an army to the country north of Vladivostok under cove* of re-enforcing the Sakhalin detachment is recognized as another instance of the secrecy with which the government hedges its intentions. Other cities were hotter than this. Philadelphia, Baltimore and, strangely enough, Atlantic City led the list, each with a record of 1)8 degrees. Buffalo was the coolest place, 78 degrees being the maximum, but this was exceptional. Many northern cities exceeded the record of New Orleans, where it was only 80. President Mitchell, In opening, referred to an address \\ hiC4i he listened to from iiishop Spalding, delivered in Scranton some time Ago, when bishop had compared the results -.of the efforts of the union with the conditions which had existed before, contrasting these conditions with the difference between darkness anil light. In addition to these charges another of assault was lodged ag&lnst Charles Judge, who is accused of assaulting A. H. Woerlicke, the watcher for the City party, at the last election. Woerlicke asserts that when he tried to prevent the placing of votes in the ballot box he was thrown out of the polling booth by Judge, assisted by Jack Falvey, an ex-prl7.e fighter. Falvey was also arrested on the same charge. The action in trespass against the city has developed from the recent trouble In the alloy running from Water street to Dock street, a, part of which, the Heap family contends, belongs to them. In order to substantiate their claim that the city has no public alley running between, the streets mentioned a fence was erected by the Reaps on what they claim was their ground. It ran,;,dlrectly across the alley and completely blocked Young William Ziegler 1h a sou ot George Washington Brandt of Daven port, la., n half brother of Mr. Zleg ler. He was formally adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Zlegler in 1890, when flv« years old. As far as can be learned, one of the miners took two boxes of dynamite containing a total of 'Jfl sticks, into the mine in a car. The car was switched into his chamber and the laborer, not noticing the boxes, loaded the ear, and It was taken out to the breaker. Working hours were reduced everywhere, and In some places work was entirely suspended. In Newport drill iu the forts and on the warships was abandoned. Two mail deliveries hi •Brooklyn and iu Newark were stop ped. Mr. Mitchell said: "We tark of conditions which existed In the past for fear that men would forget." He their went into a comparison of the conditions which existed five years ago with the conditions existing at the present timC», citing the fact that the I'lilted Mine Workers had trained for the men employed about the mines an average increase of 27 per cent, in their wages. In addition to this, they had secured a decrease In the price of powder, ami a practical abolishment of the company store. Along with these and many other Improved conditions, the mine workers had secured a positive recognition of the union, arid a conciliation board which guaranteed a fair consideration of the grievances of the mine workers. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Shortly afterwards the miner, needing some of the explosives, went to get It, and being unable to find It or the car, questioned the laborer, who Informed him that the car had been loaded and taken from the chamber.

He learned that people of the name of her relatives lived in Sturmerville and he telephoned to several Polish storekeepers in that section until be was able to locate the man wanted.

National President John Mitchell attended the district convention of the United Mine Workers. In Dunmore, this morning, and the speech which he delivered was received with great enjthusiasm. 11 was, in fact, the chief feature of this morning's session of the convention. Mr. Mitchell's address followed the lines which he has laid down for his expressions during his present tour of the anthracite region. He dwelt especially on the In relating the power* of the union, Mr. Mitchell said that Truesdale was quoted, when a conference of operators was called prior to the strike of 1902, as having said: what's the use. Mitchell dure not order a strike; he has not f?ot the "Oh The idea of deposing the emperor in favor of his infant son was discussed freely last evening in the clubs and cafes. It was suggested that four of the adult grand dukes be appointed Joint regents. The zemstvoists are not devoted to the erar's collateral relatives, but they recognize such a regency would be the least revolutionary step they could take. "This," the speaker said, "is the secret of your power; if you have a strong: organization there will he no necessity for a strike to sustain fair wage conditions.

There has been much talk of demands for an 8-hour day and for the weighing of coal, he said, and it will be for the miners to determine what demands shall be made.
