It is said that Dr. Flshburn had been selected to perform the ceremony last evening, but owing to his refusal to act. the marriage was postponed until today at noon. New York, Sept. 10.—Conflicting testimony was elicited before United States Commissioner Alexander Iu the postottlce building relating to the attitude of the New York aud Bermudez Asphult company toward the Venezuelan revolution ol' 11)02, headed by General Manuel A. Matos. According to one witness, who is still iu the company's employ, the company did nothing voluntarily to aid the revolutionists, though it could not prevent them from seizing provisions and collecting certain taxes, as they were in absolute control of the district, and the representatives of the government at Caracas were willing to have the Matos agents collect the money, providing they also received the full legal rate. New York, Sept. 10.—The anthracite minors are impressed with the belief thut the operators are trying to have tlie Pennsylvania miners' certificate law declured unconstitutional, with the ultimate purpose of declaring a lockout next April and tilling the mines with cheap Hungarian and Polish labor. So tirinly do they believe this that District Presidents Fohy and Dettry sent a telegram of warning to President .John Mitchell after listening to the evidence In a hearing in the Astor House In the case of M.

He said thut there never hud been a lockout In the anthracite fields, and one was not contemplated now. A lockout, he said, was largely an expression used to carry weight in a strike, but in practice one rarely existed. The operators, he continued, were well satisfied with present conditions and hoped that they would continue. There need he no fear of a lockout, but as for a strike—well, no one could safely predict what the miners would do under any given conditions. Mini Was in Itoal Willi Companions IN FLAMES Tliis was flatly contradicted by a man who was discharged from the company's employ. He asserted that his instructions from the late Major Malcolm A. llafferty, the company's general manager, whose headquarters was in Port of Spain, Trinidad, were to give the revolutionists all the food that they required and to aid thein whenever possible. lie swore that he had carried out these orders and had permitted the insurgents to use his machine shop for repairing their arms, had transported money for them, given rilles to two of their officers and had rendered other services. crui Strike Throughout (lie Two Fishing l ast Monday—Capsizing Valleys—Bell Company Makes of llont Causes l.oss of Sep- Soil Kiislics in and Saves llody From a Proposition to Its Men— SUICIDE RECALLS DRAMATIC SCENE PRINTERS ON STRIKE AT WILKESBARRE lDo's Life—Companions Incineration Only Itdl Kmploycs on Samuel Everett, a well-to-do farmer of Lynnport, was burned to death In his home last evening.

According to (he Pennsylvania law, a man must have worked two years as a mine laborer before he Is entitled to one of these certificates. The mine workers' unions assert that Shea got ids certificate by misrepresentation and (hat he did this in the interest of the operators, who want to have the law declared void.
