The following Is no exception: “I had been troubled with heart disease 25 B years, much of that time very seriously. For ■ live years I was treated by one physician continuously. I was in business,, but obliged to retire on account of my health. A phyi slcian told my friends that I could not live a month. My feet and limbs were badly swollen, and I was indeed in a serious condition B when a gentleman directed ’my attention to Dr. Miles’ New Heart Cure, ana said that his ■ sister, who had been afflicted with heart dis- > ease, had been cured by the remedy, and was again a strong, healthy woman. I purchased a bottle of the Heart Cure, and in less than tin hour after taking the first dose I could feel a decided improvement ih the circulation of my blood. When I had taken three doses I could move my tinkles, something 1 had ntjt. done for months,and my limbs had been swollen so long that t hey seemed almost putrlfied. Before I bad taken one bottle of the New Heart Cure the swelling had all gone down, and I was so much better that I did my own work.

Seeking Their Old Jobs. St. Louis. July 16.— Switchmen are the first strikers on the east side to break ranks and are making application for their old positions. GAMBLING CAUSED HIS RUIN. From Afilueuce to Forger anil Thence to a Prison,Cell. Detroit, July 16.—Alonzo Jay Whiteman, at one time a member of the Minnesota senate, the son of a millionaire and worth §300,000 in his own right, occupies a cell in the Central station. When arrested he gave the name of Frederick Henry Cooper, but he was • recognized by a former chum in the Columbia law college, of which he is a graduate. Last night he made a full confession. Whiteman lived in Danville, N- Y. His father, now deceased, had r made him executor of his will without bond. The result was that he had nearly §1,000,000 at his disposal. Most of the money belonged to his sister. While living in Duluth Whiteman became ad- ’® dieted to gambling; He invested in pine 25 lands that did not materialize and sud>r denly found himself in financial shoals. ’■ He is under arrest here for complicity with James R. Dewitt in passing a a forged check for SSO on the Cadillac ho- *’ tel. Whiteman said in his confession o that he was a moral and physical wreck, is and that gambling had caused his downfall. Thb police think that he has done d crooked work in New York. It is assertn ed that he misappropriated a large sum d from his sister’s share of the estate and I later became identified with a gang of h. forgers who have been doing business in i" different parts of the country. .v ~ ~ i.

Sfflßffl. Debs’ Offer to End the Strike Returned Unanswered. NEW PEASES OF THE FIGHT. I A. R. U. and K. of L. Presidents Say It Is Now to the Finish. FEDERATION WILL TAKE NO PART. Gomper*' Organization Expre**e« Sympathy and Appropriate, Ca*h to Defend Debi«, Hut When It Come* to Striking the Organization l« Not In It—lts Sympathetic Striker, Advised to Return to Work—Pullman Imui a Statement. Punishment* For Contempt—Railroad* Operating Successfully—Strike News In General. Chicago, July 14.—President Eugene V. Debs' proposition to the railway managers to declare off the strike was based on this language: '‘Members of the A. R. U. agree to return to work in a body at once, providing they shall be restored to their former positions without prejudice except in cases, if any there be, where they have been convicted of crime.” The proposition is stated to be inspired by a desire for the revival of industry and the restoration of peace and order, the strike having extended far beyond the limits of interests originally involved, laying hold of a vast number of industries and enterprises in no wise responsible for the differences which led to the trouble. Proposition Not Received. The proposition was submitted yesterday through Mayor Hopkins to Manager St. John of the Rock Island, but was later returned to the mayor without answer. managers saying that it would not be entertained with the signatures of A. R. U. officers attached. St. John had previously given individual expression to the idea that the offer would be chillily received by the General Managers’ association and that under no circumstances would new employes be removed to make places for strikers. Mr. St. John also declared that the association would not treat with President Debs. Mayor Hopkins argued strongly for a settlement. but made no impression on the railroad officials, only two of whom were present. The result of the errand was later related to Mr. Debs by the mayor. A. R. U. and K. of L. executive boards met at 5 p. m. to consider the conduct of the general managers toward the pro{>osition. anil they wexe bitter. against the l&tter. It was decided, however, to take no action until the railroads were heard from officially today.

Debs Talks of Reserve Forces. , President Debs said at the close of the meeting that the union had made its last overtures to the general managers. It had gone more than half-way. If the present proposition was ignored or rejected the strike would be renewed with greater force and be continued until the railway people gave in. The people had been appealing to the railway union to stop the strike —hereafter they must appeal to the railway managers. The burden of further troubles and loss of business must rest ou their shoulders. Air. Debs added that there has been no relaxation of the strike. It is on in force and would remain so until an affirmative answer came from the general managers. If such an answer were received the strike would end in 20 minutes. He intimated that the union had reserve forces which* it could call into action and that they would be felt in their full strength if necessary. Trades Council Refuses to Help. The Building Trades Council of Chicago, which had deferred action until its regular meeting last night, instead of voting with practical unanimity to assist the American Railway union was actually unanimous iu refusing such assistance, this radical change being due solely, as all its members averred, to the slight put upon the committee of seven by Debs and Sovereign in attempting to settle the difficulty without them. Adjutant General Orendorff of Illinois said that if the general managers would not accept the proposition made by Debs he was in favor of asking Governor Altgeld to withdraw the state troops from Chicago. NO HELP FROM GOMPERS. Federation of Labor Refuses to-Aod to the General Confusion. Chicago, July 14.— The conference tof the American Federation of Labor adjourned at 7:30 last evening after having decided against a general strike. The position of President Debs was indorsed. i however, and SI,OOO voted for the dei sense fund for his coming trial. The ex- 1 i ecutive council of seven will hold a final session today. Au address to the public was issued after a long discussion in which it is declared that the decision is not to be understood as antagonistic to the labor organizations now. struggling for right or justice, bur. rather to the fact that the present contest has become surrounded and beset with complications so grave in their nature that we cannot consistently advise a course which would but add to the general con- I fusion. T' “The public press,” says the' address, “ever alive to the interest of corporate wealth, have with few exceptions so maliciously inisrepresentea matters tnar I in the public mind the working classes are now arrayed in open hostility to federal authority. This is a position we do not wish to be placed in, nor will we occupy it without a protest. We claim I to be as patriotic and law abiding as any j .Other class of citizens, a claim substantiated by our actions in time of public need and public peril. Strikes in our affiliated organizations are entered into only as a last resort and after all efforts for a peaceful adjustment of grievances have failed, and then only after th.) members have by their own votes so de- i cided.” 1 * All memliers of the federation now out on svTOuAttretic strike areadvised to tsf

hanged at last. Murderer of Mayor Harrison Goo* Gamely to the NcafTbhL Chicago, July 14.—Carter Hairison’s murder Las been avenged. Patrick Eugene Prendergast, who was hanged yesterday after more legal quibbling than is usual in murder cases, showed signs of increasing nervousness as the hour of execution approached. He accepted the attentions of spiritual advisers and prom- ' ised to die game—a prediction which he verified by his conduct. He stood on the scaffold without ap- [ parent nervousness, though a trifle weak I and unsteady, as his arms were being I pinioned. He seemed determined to die game, and looked calmly out on the asI - o lllti ■ sembled crowd below nim. The white 1 shroud was next placed about him and, > barring a little restless motion of the | eyes, up, down and from side to side, he made no motion. Jailer Morris placed the rope aliout his neck, the white cap over his head, and Prendergast, game to ■ the last, had taken his last look of earth. An instant later he shot downward, liis head twisted to one side, the neck having apparently broken. Slowly swaying back and forth, he hung for a few moments while the physicians held his wrist. A slight,.spasmodic movement of the legs was all the sign of life apparent within the loosely--1 hanging white robe. Surrounded by the I jury of physicians, the corpse swung to I and fro. and nine minutes after the trigger was sprung he was pronounced dead. I He had been dissuaded from his determination to make a speech, and uttered no word from the time the death march to the gallows was begun. Story of the Crime. Pendergast, who was an extraordinary character in many ways, committed the crime for which he was hanged on the night of Oct. 28, 1893. Carter H. Harrison, mayor of Chicago, was seated at dinner with his son and daughter, in their residence in Ashland boulevard. The doorbell rang and a low-browed, shambling, ill-clad fellow asked to see the mayor. The man was Prendergast. When informed 1 hat the mayor was at dinner he turned away and said he would return later. When the man called again the mayor was dozing on a r couch. It had been “American Cities Day" at the world’s fair, and Jie had made- .The .best speech of his life to a vast hr- ig of people. He was awakened by the sound of voices and came i toward tbe floor. The man approached the mayor, said someJm.g that was not overheard bj-the servant, and then pointed a revolver at Mr. Harrison’s breast and fired. The assassin ran info the street and after discharging a ball at the pursuing butler disappeared in Jackson street, shortly afterward surrendering himself to the police, about the time that. Mayor Harrison expired in the arms of Miss Anna Howard of New Orleans, to whom he was to have been married in apfew days. Brothers Hanged. Raleigh, N. G., July 14.—Two white brothers, Tom and Calvin Colley, aged 27 and 22; were hanged yesterday at Louisburg, the execution being private. In June, 1892. these men killed Charles Turkey a Jewish peddler, carried his body into a neighboring thicket and covered it with brush. A year afterward the crime was discovered. WHAT OF WELLMAN? His Arctic Exploring Vessel Possibly Crushed by the Ice. j London, July 14.—A dispatch to The Times from Tromsoe, in the north of 1 Norway, says that the yacht Saide of the royal yacht squadron touched at Dane's island, on the northwest coast of Spitsbergen, July 6. The yachtsmen found on the island Professor Gyen. .the geologist who was left there by the American polar expedition under Walter Wolman to await their return and guard the depot established on the island. Nothing had been heard of the expedition since their steamer, the Ragnvald Jarl, left Dane’s island. The Saide started on a , search for her, but found all routes , blocked by ice. The yacht met an experienced walrus hunter, Captain Johannesen, coming from’the northwest. It was his opinion that the Ragnvald Jarl had been beset by ice and crushed. Captain Johnnnesen intends to search for the Wellman expedition northwest from Spitsbergen when the ice permits. I a —‘ j ' " Endeavor Meetings. 1 Ci.EVEiAND. July 14.—Fourteen con ferences of officers in different departments of endeavor work were held yesterday afternoon, and they proved to be the most important feature of the convention thus far. In the evening Rev. William J. Tucker of Hanover, N. H., and Rev. Dr. John Potts of Toronto de- ; livered addresses. In the tent Rev. i Joseph K. Dixon of Philadelphia spoke. Chauncey Depew’s Views. London, July 14.—Chauncey M. Depew, iu a cablegram to The Times, gives a lengthy review-of the railroad strike and its causes. He declares that the conditions of unrest the past year have created an almost frantic desire for anything in place of present conditions-and attributes developments principally to this cause. Sentenced For Contempt. Indianapolis, July 14.—Strikers Moriarity and Robuck, charged with contempt in the United States court for j •■killing” a J., M. and I. engine in the j face of a restraining order, were sentenced yesterday by Judge Baker to 90 days in jail. Buck, another man on trial, : was acouitted. Indication*. Indiana—Fair; copier in northern portions — ; .

MYRON IV. HEED AGAIN. Denver Divine Declares Himself to Be an Anarchist. HE SAYS CHRIST WAS SUCH. Surprising .Statement* by Ilie Former Indlanapoll* Preacher Before a Labor Meeting—Talk* of “Peaceful” Removal of NonunioniMtn—Rev. Dixon'* Strike Deduction*. Denver, July 16.—Rev. Myron W. Reed, former pastor of the First Presby- , terian church in Indianapolis, and whose resignation was recently demanded by the leading Congregational church here on account of declarations of sympathy with Cripple Creek strikers, delivered an address before a large meeting held ' under the auspices of the A. R. U. yesterday, in which he declared that he was an anarchist. He continued by saying: “Jesus Christ was not only an anarchist, but was killed by the representatives of the law. the church and state for daring to practice humanity. Jesus Christ was an anarchist and socialist, but I never read of his being a deputy sheriff. [Cheers]. Nothing has discouraged me so much in the past few weeks as to see so many men anxious to take a gun and offer to go out and shoot their fellow men for the mere pittance of $3 per day. “I look at this effort now being made by such men as Pullman as an effort to break up all organizations of laboring men, so they can deal with the workingmen one by one and gradually get them down to pauperism and serfdom. “1 have been criticiz'd for saying that any man bad the right to take his labor away from any employer, but had uot the right to iiiterferebvith any other man for taking his place. I say now that he has a right to interfere if he does it in a peaceable way. It is right and just for every man to protect his wages and his job. I also say that a man who does not belong to-a union and stands ready to take another man’s place at less wages is an enemy, a spy and an obstructor and ought in some peaceable wav be removed." He predicted that unless something was speedily- done for the laboring classes this country would be plunged into one of the greatest revolutions the world has ever seen. DIXON'S DEDUCTION'S. New York Preacher Says ttie ?Government Should Own the Railroads. New York, July 16.—Rev. Thomas Dixon. Jr.,yho.finds a text for each , Sunday's sermons in the events of the proceeding week, preached in Association hall yesterday on the“ Strike. This great uprising, which had cost the country $111,090,000 and was likely to cost it $5,000,000 more, had its origin in a great injustice somebody. It was impossible to imagine the laboring classes, after enduring the miseries consequent on the depression of the past year, leaving their workshops unless' there was injustice soijiewhere’. Three lessons, however, had been learned by the strike: , (1) That the railroad, managers (were utterly incapable to handle the railroads the moment a strike was precipitated: (2). that mad violence and disorder would under no circumstances be tolerated by the American people; (3) that the na-' tional government alone has the power to break such a strike and raise the railroad blockade, from which - follows the logical conclusion that the national government should own the railroads of the country. Archbishop li-elaixl Quoted. ..Chicago, July 16.—1 n an interview Archbishop Ireland of St. Pauls avs that, while he deeply sympa: l:izes with workingmen. "labor must learn that....however sacred its rights may be, there is something above them and absolutely supreme—social order and t]ie laws of , public justice. There is no civil crime ’ as hideous and as pregnant of evil .results as resistance 'to law and the con- ! stitutional autimritieS of the country.' American iJicyclist \Vins Easily.
