Impressed by the fact thut one or more have been killed In or about the mines almost every day since he has been in office, Coroner Dodson, of Luzerne county, appealed to a jury investigating the death of three men at the Truesdale colliery to make an effort to place the blame. He said: The firemen who have been employed at No. 10 colliery and the officials of the Pennsylvania Coal Co. are at odds over the number of men who shall be employed on a shift, and 14 of the 15 men regularly employed have quit work. There have been three shifts of live men each working at No. 10, each shift working: eight hours. According to the men who have quit work, the company gave them notice that one man was to be taken off the afternoon and night shifts. They say they objected to the on the ground that the jwork was too hard for four men, but | the company said the order was to be carried out. The regular firemen then left their jobs, and the boilers are being fired by new hands at present. The strikers are members of the Mine Workers' Union. Taxpayers' League Plans an Investigation. The appointments by Captain John C. Groome, head of the state constabulary, will not be made until after he has a conference with the governor, and it is not thought that the force will be selected and equipped for at least three months. There are hundreds of applicants for places in the force, over half having served In the regular army and almost all having seen military service. Blanks have been mailed to applicants, which they are required to fill up and forward to the office. The applicant must give his name, address, age and height, place of birth, whether a citizen, occupation, married or single, and previous military or naval service. No applicant under fl feet 6 inches in his bare feet will be considered and all must be between 20 and 40 years old, sound physically, of average education, of good moral character and able to ride horseback.

There must be carelessness or incompetency or both in some places, and it is the duty of the jury to find where it exists and place the blame where it belongs. If it is true that the anthracite mine laws are disregarded and miners'•certificates are bought and sold the same as any other commodity, then it should be easy to place the blame.

Norfolk, Va., Aug. 18.—Fifty persons were killed and about as many more seriously injured when an excursion train on the Atlantic Coast line dashed at high speed into an open draw and rolled into the Elizabeth river at Bruce Station, seven miles from here. The traiu was the second section of the excursion and was composed of the locomotive, tender and two passenger coaches. The excursion was made up almost wholly of negroes. Portsmouth, N. II., Aug. 18.—The crisis In the peace conference has been readied and pessimism Is again the note. But the darkest hour is just bofore the dawn, and there Is still hope. Heading, Aug. 18.—The promoters of the new "Heading Taxpayers' League" have Issued an address to the people of Heading, asking for co-operation In the movement. In the address they suy; "The general distrust of the cltyj eouncllmen which exists among the people, which makes them unwilling 1 to vote for any further loan for pub- | He improvements and which In many ' ways injuriously affects the Interests of the community, Is not without cause. If dishonesty exists at city hall It can best be discovered, and when discovered It can only be successfully prosecuted and punished and Its repetition be prevented by a combination of taxpayers. Philadelphia, Aug. 18.— Unable to bear longer the sight of his wife and children suffering the tortures of poverty, Joseph Alexander Thompson of this city killed himself on a bench in Falrmount park after writing a letter In which he revealed the fact that for twenty-five years he had been living under the name of Thomas and he was related by marriage to the wealthy Thaw family of Pittsburg. Two letters were found on the body, one addressed to Thompson's wife and couched In the most endearing terms and the other written apparently to let the world know that he was a brother of William It. Thompson, a wealthy resident of Sparkhili, N. V., who married a daughter of William Thaw of Pittsburg. "Many foreigners who have never seen a coal mine come to our shores and in a short time, somehow or other, get a miners' certificate, and, through it, not only kill themselves, but others as well. Something should be done to lessen the great number of fatalities about the mines, and the Coroner's office is anxious to do all it can," The exchange of views upon article 9 (remuneration for the "cost of the war") showed at once that the plenipotentiaries were as far apart as the poles, and it was passed over. Article 10 (the surrender of the Interned ltusslan warship*) was also passed, notln the opinion of one of the plenipotentiaries as expressed to a correspondent, because it could not have been arranged, but because, with the shadow of the two main points in dispute hanging over the conference, both sides were cautious and preferred to postpone it to tile end. Article 11 (limitation of Uusslan sea power in the far east) is also adjustable after modification, and article 12 (Pacific coast fisheries) will present no difficulties. So that the situation is practically what it was when M. Wltte last Saturday presented the Russian reply with its absolute negative to articles 5 and !D (Indemnity and Sakhalin).

This order is not in the least ambiguous. You may make your own deductions as to who is responsible for the wreck." A 14-year-old son of John Koch, of Wllkesbarre, was seriously injured last evening by being shot In the face. He was passing along a Kingston street when, without any warning, a gun was fired close by where he was walking and a large number of the shot lodged in his cheeks and other parts of his face. In the Case Made by During (lie Lust Six Months. Chief Cosgrove, During the past six months the Magee Carpet Works has made and shipped 951,000 yards of carpet, a record that places It in the front rank of the carpet mills of the country. In the making of carriage carpets they are the acknowledged leaders, no other mill beginning to have the output of carriage carpets that the local plant has, from 50 to 60 new patterns being placed each seflson. There has Just been installed at a cost of $2,500 a new printing machine, which takes .the white carpet and prints in combinations of as many as eight colors, which opens up still another line for the trade—IJloomsburg Press. A harmless little chipmunk, that was being sought as a plaything for a child, led to the discovery of UOO pounds of stolen brass in the woods known as Barnaul woods, yesterday afternoon. The metal had been hidden away and the animal, in its efforts to escape capture, apparently disappeared in the ground Just over the spot where the stolen goods had been buried. The brass had been stolen from the Lehigh Valley railroad and the company had its detectives tracking the thieves, but before they made any arrests Chief Cosgrove, of Duryea. succeeded in landing one man, who was caught carrying a portion of the goods away from the spot, where it had been hidden. Not In n Ions time have social circles in this state been stirred as much as they were when the letter was published. Front Pittsburg there came continuation of the man's assertion that he was related to the Thaws, but it was denied ho hud been neglected by his relatives. It was wild that Thompson frequently had received offers of aid and a good position from his brother on condition lie resume his family uaiue and do as the brother re quested. The offers were refused. "It is proposed to throw a strong llAht into the recesses of city hall, sonhat If there is any wrong it may be revealed." The only chance now is compromise— Russia to yield Sakhalin and Japan indemnity. Neither will yield both, and perhaps Japan at the linal show of hands will yield neither. During the conferences the Japanese plenipotentiaries have several times manifested a sort of desire to couple the consideration of the disputed points. This might indicate a willingness to bargain at the end. The Russians watched these moves with great Interest, waiting for their adversaries to press them, but without showing their hands. Indescribable Horror. The scene following the wreck was one of Indescribable horror. Men, women and children who were nearly drowned struggled out of the partly submerged coach. The officers of the league are: President, Francis H. Brobst, M. D.; treasurer, Jerome I. Kline; secretary, William S. Mohr; accountant, Lewis Carter; attorneys, Harry P. Kantner and P. W. Nicolls. According to the story at the hearing that was the outcome of the shooting, the man who handled the gun was Frank Winners, also of Wll- The passengers who were uninjured immediately started to rescue those Imprisoned in the cars. Norfolk and Portsmouth were communicated with, and physicians were sent out on a wrecking train. kesbarre. He was arrested on a warrant sworn out before Alderman Donahue. From the stories of witnesses, it seems that Winners was practicing with a gun on a west side lot and was handling it with none too much caution. Several others were in the vicinity at the time and these noticed young Koch coming along. They called to Winners to be careful and it is alleged that he said the people at the other end would have to watch out for themselves. A few seconds later he tired and Koch was struck. After hearing the evidence the alderman held Winners under heavy bonds for his appearance at Costly Wlrcck on the Penns.v Altoona, Pa., Aug. 18.—As a result of a broken axle one of the worst freight wrecks that have occurred In recent years on the Pennsylvania Railroad happened near Petersburg. 28 miles east of here. The debris of twenty-six cars was piled high over all tracks, blocking the road for seven hours. The wrecked train was an extra eastbound coal train, consisting of huge steel cars loaded to their capacity. The train crew escaped injury. Out of Work Three Years, Thompson was about tlfty-tlve years old. Twenty-live years ago lie married Kate Spangler of this city. The couple had four children. Ho had been out of regular work for the past three years, and It was known he felt bitterly toward Ills relatives. It is said his marriage caused the estrangement between Thompson and his relutives. A message sent from Pittsburg to J. I) Lyons, a partner of William R. Thomp son, said he had never heard his partner speak of his brother. Mrs. Thompson, or Thomas, said her husband' relatives had refused to do anything for htm. FRACAS IN RESTAURANT Many people in the neighborhood went to the scene of the wreck and helped in the rescue. injured were taken to the track embankment and were attended there by the physicians.The discovery of the goods was made by Frank McCanna and John Toye, both of tills city. They were taking a walk through llarnum woods, which are in Duryea borough, when Mr. McCanna espied a chipmunk a short distance ahead of them. He suggested that they catch It for his little son. and both started to run afcr It. Suddenly the chipmunk disappeared from sight and both men thought it ran Into a hole In the ground. Where they had last seen It.the ground was soft and they determined to try and dig the animal out. They started to do this, but had excavated but very little eafth when they came upon some hard substance tied up in a bag. This they drew out of the hole and 011 examining the contents of the bag found that It contained a number of picces of brass, such as are used on machinery and car wheels. Investigation revealed that there were other bags in the vicinity, all buried close to the one spot, where they had discovered the first. Chicago's Richest Woman, Chicago, Aug. 18.—Mrs. Grace Shaw Kennedy of :$524 Michigan boulevard is the owner of more Chicago bank stock than any other woman In the city, according to the tax assessors. She pays taxes on #rDrD:J,tMD0 worth of these securities and In addition was put down for $1,000,000 worth of other personal property. She has more diamonds than any Chicago woman except Mrs. Potter Palmer.

The two men hurried to Duryen and notified Chief Cosgrove, who lost no time in reaching the place whera the brass was hidden. He took with him a horse and carriage to take the goods away. When he reached the locality he hid the outfit and then took up a watch to try and capture the person* who had placed the goods in the spot. He was forced to wait for some time, but finally one Vardo came to the spot which had been re-covered with earth. He dug down and took out one of the bags, starting away with it. He had taken only a few steps, however, before he was pounced on by the officer and placed under arrest. The prisoner was placed on the wagon, the brass was loaded aboard, and the chief took them to the olttce of 'Squire Gllboy, where a warrant was sworn out against Vardo, charging him with larceny. He was given a hearing and held under $500 bail for court. Vardo lives on Parsonage street, this city. The trouble had its origin between S and 9 o'clock, when Kichard Fleming was assaulted by a foreigner In a saloon. He claims he was knocked down with a club. Fleming left the place and sought a policeman. He met Officer Price, and when the latter heard the story the two returned to search for the assailant. When,they entered the place the proprietor said the ofHcer could not search unless he had a warrant authorizing him to do so. The latter persisted in looking about, whereupon some of those In the place grew ugly and stood in his way. The argument about the officer's rights grew hotter and, llnally.

In some instances cars must have been lifted from the tracks in order to enable the thieves to get at their plunder. After working on the case the detectives found that four men were implicated in the thefts and traced the thieves to Hughestown. A quantity of the stolen brass was finally located near the home of Vardo and the officers, in order to make out a clear case, sent a pseudo peddler to purchase It.
