Her son, John, has been detained by the police pending the outcome of the coroner's inquiry. New York, Jan. 17.—Marshall Field, the wealthy Chicago merchant, died at the Holland House after eight days' illness with pneumonia. Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 17.—In his annual address before the mine Workers' convention President John Mitchell, speaking of the policy to be pursued by the miners In the coming Joint conference with the coal operators, said: f I am conscious of the fact that more than ordinary significance attaches to anything I m'ay say as to the policy we should pursue when we meet the operators In joint convention: especially is this true at the present time, when it Is well known that the miners of practically the entire country will be soon released of contract obligations and that they and their employers will be compelled in the event of disagreement, to find some other means of adjusting their rotations.

SMALLPOX VICTIMS NEARLY PERISH At a meeting of the Pennsylvania Editorial association, held In Harrisburg: yesterday, a handsome silver service was presented to ex-Secretary R. H. Thomas and his assistant, R. H. Thomas, jr., both of Mechanicsburg. COUNCILS TO MEET IN JOINT SESSION Mrs, McMurrow came into public notice in the early Seventies, when she claimed to be the daughter of a rich Spanish grandee. During thi' Centennial exposition In 1876 when people from all over the world visited Philadelphia, she lavishly entertained distinguished guests of this and other countries. Some years later, however, her claims having been scouted by some of those from whom she had received money, she,was arrested 011* the charge of swindling, but was not convicted.

Resolutions were adopted against the ten dollar deposit required on mileage books by the Pennsylvania Railroad Co., and urging a new book with the rate of two cents per mile. The 16 Inmates of the Tamaqua smallpox hospital narrowly escaped asphyxiation early yesterday morning. Miss LCeah Rhulbrlght, aged 16 years, one of the patients, awoke to find the ward filled with fumes of sulphur. A Joint session of the city councils has been called for tomorrow night for the purpose of hearing the mayor's annual message fead. The body will take such action as it sees fit on his recommendations. The mayor has given out no Inkling of what will be the tenor of his message. The call for a meeting states that general business will be taken up also. It is likely that the lighting question will be brought up again, as It is now a silent' Issue and will remain so until councils choose to take action on it. A meeting was called some time ago to resurrect the question, but councilmen were not to be found In sufficient numbers toD allow a meeting. It Is likely that the council will again advertise for bids. The funeral will take place either at the Firat Presbyterian church or from Mr. Field's residence in Prairie avenue, 8equel of Former Conference. These officers were elected: President, Thomas H. Harter, Bellefonte; vice presidents, J. W» Carson, Beaver: M. McQuInn, Clearfield; H. H. Thomson, Tyrone: secretary and treasurer, R. B.

H.- Thomas, Jr., Mechanicsburg. In connection with this subject It may not be amiss to review briefly the history of the recent past. This government was invited to attend the conference because it was a party of the previous conference out of which grew the treaty of amity and commerce negotiated between the United States and Morocco In 188'). It was suld at the stHte department that if this government had declined to accept the invitation it would have been a startling departure from custom. This new conference is lor the purpose of broadening the scope of the treaty of 1880 and of introducing reform in Morocco. D i'1 She tried to get to a window, but fainted. The sound of her body falling aroused the nurse and In a few minutes there was confusion throughout the building. Some of the patients wanted to rush into the street and were restrained with difficulty. You will recall the depression in the coal trade in the fall and winter of 1903, which culminated In reduction of wages In the spring of 1904. The adverse conditions prevailing at that time continued during the year 1904 and even up to the spring of 1905. From that time on there was a gradual Improvement both In prices and tonnage, which was continued until the present, and If the activity in the iron market, in the railroad, industrial and commercial affairs of the country is any barometer by which future conditions may be forecasted, the prospect of continued prosperity in fhe mining industry secins assured. I recognize the fact that there is little sentiment and no philanthropy in the determination of our general wage agreements; however, It appears to me that inasmuch as we gave relief to our employers by accepting a lower rate of wages at a time when there was littlp demand for coal and when prices were falling below a profitable margin, they should reciprocate and voluntarily share with us their present and prospective prosperity. Late Monday night neighbors heard screams In the house and cries of murder. No one Interfered. Later a servant summoned Dr. H. M. Hinkle, the aged woman's family physician, who found her dead. They all became ill and for a time some of them were in a serious condition. It was found that the gasescaped from a defective flue. When the- health authorities tried to get a man to repair it they learned that all of the town plumbers and fitters were afraid to go Into the place. An examination showed marks on her body and a bruise on her forehead. As the woman had been in good health when the physician last saw her, he deemed ft wise to notify the coroner. An assistant deputy coroner started an Investigation, and admitted that he had found evidence that tho son had struck his mother and that on the strength of this the son had been arrested. According to the coroner tha son had been drinking and wanted money. The mother refused, which enraged the son and he attacked her. The movement Initiated by the editors of the State to formulate a new libel law was formally indorsed by resolution. A two days' session of the association was contemplated originally", but tho body completed its business late yesterday afternoon and adjourned. This does away the banquet planned for tonight, at which Governor Pennypacker and Attorney General Carson were to have been the guests of honor. Propositions looking to the benefit and betterment of the Moroccan people calculated to enable them to participate in and derive benefits from the world's trade will receive the favorable consideration of the American delegates.Water Superintendent Shock finally volunteered to do the work and the danger to the patients has now been removed.

Philadelphia, Jan. 17.—The first definite announcement concerning the attitude of the big coal corporations regarding the request of President Mitchell, of the United Mine Wlork-. crs of America for a conference, was made by E. B. Thomas, president of the Lehigh Valley Railroad Co. Mr. Thomas was asked if he had received la communication from Mr. Mitchell and he replied In the affirmative. Asked as to the nature of the reply he said: State Oflleer Urged to Abolish the Right to Require Deposits on Conference at Algeciras Open*. Mileage Books. Algeciras, Jan. 17.—The opening of the Moroccun conference was notable for the spirit of conciliation muuifested. The events of the day were the gathering of the ambassadors with their extensive staffs and the one hour's session In which the Duke of Aluiodovar, - Spanish minister of foreign affairs, was unanimously elected president of the conference. The duke's speech of acceptance breathed concord and peace. It was significant that both the French and German delegations heartily seconded the remarks of the duke. A petition has been filed with Isaac B. Brown, secretary of Internal affairs of Pennsylvania today asking him to take legal steps to compel the Pennsylvania Railroad company to abolish the practice of requiring a deposit of $10 on mileage books. The wedding will be a military affair throughout. All of the men taking part will wear the new showy cavalry uniform, lately adopted by the government school there. Mr. Dillon, who is a Sioux. Indian from near Pierre, S. D., Is captain of Troop A at the school. The best man will be Arthur Sheldon, the famous halfback, a most polished type of the modern redskin.

First, we have had the Intense opposition of the Parry-Post aggregation of union workers, who have antagonized every effort we have made to organize the non-union fields of the country, especially the Irwin, Connellsvllle and Meyersdale districts of Pennsylvania, the Georges Creek and the two Virginias. The petition Is signed by S. M. Wllbans, of Pittsburg, secretary of the "Homeless Twenty-Six," an organization of commercial travelers and business men, chartered by the Allegheny county courts. "We agreed to meet In conference." "Do yoir mean that you agreed to meet Mr. Mitchell as the representative of the miners' union?" and in 1865 Marshall Field, who had been a partner in the firm during these changes, retired and with L. Z. Leiter and Potter Palmer founded the firm of Field, Palmer & Leiter. Palmer retired in 1867 and Levi Z. Leiter In 1881. The firm name was then changed to Marshall Field & Co. WHO WAS BROWN?

Part of the duties ot the secretary of internal affairs is to exercise supervision over railroad companies and if he finds by Investigation, that they are violating the law to report the violation to the attorney-general, whose duty It is to Institute proceedings. Second, we have been opposed with equal vigor—although with different weapons—by an organization styling itself the Industrial Workers of the World and by Its principal affiliated body, the Western Federation of Miners. The recent convention of miners at Shamokln authorized President Mitchell to request a conference with th» heads of the coal corporations, with a view to reach an agreement as to the conditions that shall obtain when the award of tho Anthracite Strike Commission expires.

Paris, Jan. 17.—It Is stated In official quarters that France will stand firm relative to her preponderating influence in Morocco, while at the same time respecting the sultan's sovereignty. There Is an Inclination toward the adoption of the most liberal view of the commercial rights of other powers. Miss La Farge, who is from Montana, will be attended by Miss Anna Goyituey, of Pueblo, N, M., as irjald of honor. The bridesmaids will be Miss Christian Chllds, a Crow, from Montana; Miss Minnie Nick, Cherokee, from North Carolina, and Miss Lou French, an Umatilla girl from Oregon. The Secret Service Department is looking up the record of the "gentleman thief", J. C. Brown, who was shot and killed by detectives recently at Tobyhanna, Monroe county. It is believed that Brown was a noted counterfeiter at the head of a gang of criminals. Secretary Brown will consider the petition. The firm of Marshall Field & Co. is today styled the greatest mercantile establishment in the world. In the year .lust ended Mr. Field paid assessments on $40,000,000 of property in Chicago alone. He had $30,000,000 in realty in that city. Some place his wealth as high as $200,000,000, while others figure it at about $175,000,000. The recognized .spokesmen of these organizations profess solicitude for the welfare of the coal miners; they seojc to convey the impression that the coal miners are so densely Ignorant that they are unable to conduct their affairs or successfully manage an organization of their own choice. Indeed these self-constituted advisers, none of whom, to my knowledge, ever worked in u coal mine in his life, and most of whom have made failures of the several organizations With which they have been connected, justify their attacks upon us by saying that we make trade agreements which tie the hands of our .member* so as to render them unable to strike at any time during the year when conditions would seem propitious. They lose sight of the fact that if we had no agreements and were therefore at liberty to strike at our own sweet will, the operators wouJjJ have precisely the same right.

Before he could raise an alarm he was seen, and the two men away. They were not recognised. Although he was not the wealthiest man in the United States, Mr. Field was styled the greatest individual taxpayer in the country. . The graft eases against H. H.

Lost Heavily In Chicago Firs. Unionists Regaining Hope. It Is thought that Brown's real history is known by government and New York officers who are working at this end to capture the dead bandit's associates. London, Jan. 17.—The Unionist press takes a more hopeful view of the political campaign. It is Inclined to consider the worst has passed and that future pollings will show a steady Unionist rally. The fact that the Unionists retained five important seats in Liverpool and several in London is held to show that all has not been lost. The defense. In Asking that the indictment be quashed, act forth numerous technical reasons, among thetn that the high sheriff Of L.uaerne county never qualified for office • and therefore had no right to act in the drawin% of the grand Jury which Indicted Hughes.

President Mitchell said the committee appointed at the Shamokin, Pa., convention, to confer with the_ representatives of the mining companies for the purpose of formulating an agreement was making satisfactory progress. He called attention to the increase in the machine mined coal to 28.78 per cent, of the total production and urged that strenuous efforts be made to establish a fixed differential. The executive board, he said, had prepared a bill for presentation to state legislators, ,the object of which is to provide for the examination of persons seeking employment In mines and so prevent the employment of Incompetent then.
