THE LATEST DANGERS IN ILLINOIS. Striker* Who Seize a Train on Whit-h to Proceed to an Attack on Working Miners Sidetracked Fifteen Mile* Away. Purchase of Arms For Deputie* Situation In Ohio Fader Control of the Troop* — I >c* predations Kxii^);e rated. Criticism of Indianapolis Correspond-

ents by the Sliclburn Pe<»ple.

Shei i rn, Ind., June 9.—Brigadier General MeKee, commanding the Indiana troops in this locality, has adopted new and more successful tactics in guarding coal trains moving along the railroad. Instead of sending a detachjment of soldiers along with trains he now scatters small squads for miles along the tracks, both east and west from this central point. This plan seem.- to keep the strikers away from the road, as in no instance have they shown an inclination to openly attack the militia or take chances of arrest. The fact is, the miners have become afraid of both guns and the law, and as many warrants are out for leaders the radical element is in a condition of apparent subjection. They are in hiding from the officers and consequently do not appear so publicly as before the civil authorities became convinced of the necessity for action. There is some criticism of the writings of Indiaiiii]Kilis correspondents, who before the militia arrived sought popularity by fulsome praise of the mining elements, but who have since put themselves under the protection of the troops and now write extravagantly of trivial incidents. There are some of the troops who are seeking records of heroism, and these pour into the ears of willing space writers tales of harrowing experiences, hairbreadth escapes and deadly attacks made njsm them from ambush. < ifficial dispatches to the governor art; about the only truly reliable reports sent out from

l\VO Sl'SPECTS KKLKASKD. Poor I)i<l Not Turn State'* Evidence In the Harr M tinier—Other Arreata. Brazii., Ind.. June 9.—William Green and Charles Poor, two of the suspects in the Engineer Barr murder case, have been released, the other three being sent to jail to await the action of the grand jury. It is said that Green established his innocence and that Poor turned state’s evidence. Poor denies this, and says the police spread this report with the hop? of trapping other of the suspects in a confession. His release would indicate the falsity of the statement that he hail confessed. Authorities have arrested Ed Monk, leader of the Harmony brass band, William Carr and William Poor, brother of the released suspect, charged with complicity in Barr's murder. They are being examined behind closed doors while officers are searching for other miners accused of complicity in the crime. Marshal Louderback and his assistants have placed under arrest Thomas Harris, William Wilson, William Warlen. William Gardner, Bert Britten, Robert Warlen, Thomas Quigley, Perry Thomas and Dave Moore, all of Harmony, charged with being implicated in the murder of

Barr.

Some excitement was occasioned early yesterday morning when Sheriff Reno and his posse, while searching for alleged accomplices in the murder of En gineer Barr, came across 150 armed miners marching to this city. They said their purpose was to protect the prisoners already in jail from a mob of railroadmen whom they had heard were coming from Terre Haute. There was fear that they intended to release the prisoners. The sheriff and deputies returned With the miners and all were on guard until day. There were no demonstrations. Excitement continues here and the prisoners may be removed for safe keeping. Ask* WttliilrawHl of Troopa. Sulliv an. Ind., June 9.—Judge Briggs has wired the governor for the withdrawal of all but 150 soldiers, believing the civi I authorities can now control af-

fairs.

KXAUGKKATED. Situation In Otiin Not Nearly So Ha<! a* Reported. Cambridge, O., June 9.—The contest between the striking miners and the Baltimore and Ohio railroad on carrying acab coal is ended for the time being by the presence of the state troops at the points of attack in Guersuey and Belmont counties. Colonel Hamilton's camp at Mineral siding is as quiet as a Sunday muster. Thousands of persons have visited the tnxips during the day. No visitors are allowed at night. The only train delayed since their arrival Wa.- on account of a freight wreck. mThere has been a world of mendacious misinformation sent out. There has been bo stand made against the troops at any point There have been no attempts to 3betruct tunnels, or burn bridges, or fur up the trucks or obstruct them— fbtlnug save temporary stoppage of Jfciins carrying coal. There has been no destruction of property attempted, le that probably several hundred bush[of coal thrown off at Scott’s mines fe burned to furnish light and heat [ the strikers who hovered around it. i onjy violence that has occurred has

oeen tne stoning ot a single ciliU train, and in the disabling of the trains from running by purloining the links and pins, unpacking the wheels and staving in of a few of the tailgates. There is a prevailing feeling that the strike is practically ended, but the weight of advice is that the trisips should not be immediately recalled. The New Philadelphia company detained at Canal Dover was released without resistance, and with the two companies who went to deliver them proceeded to Belmont county. WHO KII.LKII BAKU ? Woman Arresteil In Indianapolis Says It W as John Higgin*. Indianapolis, June 8.—Annie Cline, aged 19, was arrested here last night. She says she was at Harmony when Engineer Barr was killed and that the fatal rock was thrown by a man named John Higgins. She says she is willing to make oath to

this effect.

UIOTKRM DETK \CKED. Mob Marchtnir on 1‘ana Fights Fora Train Which Ceases to Kuu. Springfield, Ills., June 9.—Word was received late last night that 400 miners who had started for Pana to drive out miners who resumed work yesterday captured a Baltimor* and Ohio freight train at Edinburg, 15 miles east, and after a brief fight with the railroad people, in which no one was hurt, are now sidetracked there. The governor has ordered two companies of troops to the scene to assist the sheriff. Adjutant General Orendorff. after a conference last evening over the coal strike with Lieutenant Baker, stationed here as a recruiting officer of the United States army, purchased all the Winchester nties and small arms in the stock ot the Meacham Arms company of this city and ordered them sent to Pana. A str< mg posse of citizens was formed 1 and armed last night and are now pa- ! troling the tracks in the direction from | which the strikers are expected. The citizens are determined to head them off. OF A KDINti THK JAIL. DcputifM Sworn In to Prevent the Ke-

The Bloomington military j company lias charge of the jail. Matthews Sets an Example. Washington, June 9.—The Post in an editorial says: Governor Matthew’s is to be congratulated upon the courageous and intelligent manner in which he is handling the Indiana labor disturbances. Without any effort at demagogy lie is j ignoring the extreme demands of em- , ployers and strikers and carefully guard . ing the interests of the people. Gov1 ernor Matthews is setting an admirable example for the chief executives of some other states where the law is defied and

disorder prevails.

other points.

Washington, June 9. — The senate yesterday laid on the table Mr. Hoar's resolution to set at rest the claim against the Stanford estate and was then addressed at some length by Senator Cnllom on the tariff bill. Mr. Palmer replied. Continuing the agricultural schedule, Mr. Washburn (Rep.) suggested that debate proceed under the 5minute rule, which the Democrats promptly accepted. Mr. Quay was not present to object. Action was taken imposing 20 per cent on buckwheat, corn, wheat, corumeal, flour, etc., 25 per cent on barley and 515 per cent on barley malt. Cleaned rice was put at 1 1-2 cents per pound, uncleaned at 1 cent and paddy at 3-4 cent. On dairy products these rates were fixed: Butter, 4 cents per pound; cheese, 4 cents; fresh milk. 3 cents per gallon; condensed, 2 cents; sugar of milk, 5 cents per pound. Beans. 20 per cent; canned or piepared, 30 per cent. Mr. Jones had reported an amendment to this paragraph placing a duty of $0 per ton on broomcorn, 2 cents each on cabbages, 3 cents jier gallon on cider, 3 cents jier dozen on eggs and 15 per cent on yolk of eggs. He withdrew the amendment Mr. Aldrich immediately reoffered it and it was defeated by a strict jiarty vote—23 to 30. Mr, Platt offered a separate amendment of 3 cents jier dozen on eggs—lust. At 6:20 the senate, on Mr. Harris’ motion, went into executive session and shortly afterward adjourned. T Fit III ILL'S TESTIMONY. II,* Ili-nli'* Material Fart* In itelatinn tn til,' Sugar Selit-.liile. Washington, June 9.—ILL. Terrell, who represented the refiners here while the tariff bill was under consideration in committee, was before the sugar investigators yesterday. It is understood that Mr. Terrell said that he had no knowledge of any of the statements that have lieen published concerning alleged improper suirar trust influence. When asked about the truth of the rejxirt written by Mr. Edwards of the conference at the Arlington hotel, which had been overheard by Mr. Gaston, Mr. Terrell sanl that he had sjient an evening in his room at the hotel with the gentlemen whose names were given bv Edwards. Senators Brice and Smith, and Messrs. Havemeyer and J. B. Reed of the trust, but denied that the meeting was of the character described by the corresjiondents. It was true, he said, that they had discussed the schedule and had referred to the probability of tariff legislation in the interest of sugar, but he denied that the conversation hail been of the character represented by Mr. Edwards, or that there had lieen any reference to the t.nhanceuient of the value of sugar stock for the purposes of influencing legislation. Mr. Terrell also acknowledged being present in Senator Camden’s rooms, ojiposite the Arlington, when Senator Jones met Mr. Havemeyer. Mr. Terrell admitted that he came to Washington at Mr. Havemeyer's request. He had "talked sugar” to all the senators he knew—Brice, Camden, Gorman, Smith and Aldrich. He had talked with them principally with the view of keejiing Mr. Havemeyer advised of the situation, and had also tried to impress Mr. Havemeyer's views upon them. He had sometimes gone to the housesof senators. He frequently took dinner with Senator Brice at the latter's home. He had also seen Senator Gorman at his room, but not a great many times, and had seen Senator Aldrich at the hotel. He thought 'ienat’ir Aldrich had been at his room once, but as the senator stopjied at the same hotel he saw him frequently in the lobby. From the proprietor of the Arlington and Broker A. R. Chapman of New York little was learned, the latter re fusing to say whether his firm had acted for Brice or others in the jiurchase of shx'ks. The cases of the two corresjiondents who refused to give the committee the sources of their information have been jiresented to the grand jury. SliKlit Inrrea*e In Appropriation*. Washington, June 9.—The senate committee on apiirojiriations has agreed on the diplomatic and consular and army aiijiropriation bills. The diplomatic bill apjirojiriutes $1,579,438, an increase of $69,700 over the house bill. The army bill shows an aggregate increase of only $19,460, the total being $23,006,181. House. Washington, June 9.—Aside from Mr. Walker’s (Rep., Mass.) complaint of poor ventilation in the house, in which he alleged incapacity of the architect, and Mr. Weadock's (Dem., Mich.) rejily to an attack by Mr. Linton on the Catholic church there was nothing enlivening. Indian ajipropriations were discussed. Drank l*oi*ou«Ml Coffee. Danville, Ills., June 9.—The village of Foster is excited over one death from jtoiHoning and several more that are threatened. Airs. Sojihia Dwellinger, wife of a prominent farmer, died from drinking coffee sniqiuHeil to have been poisoned. A number of neighbors also drank the coffee and were almost immediately prostrated.

Last November Roberts came to Rochester and engaged Long Bros., machinists, toman ufacture th>‘ cash register. Business was poor and Campbell and the other Ohio backers withdrew their support, it is alleged. In the affidavit on which the suit is founded Mr. Roberts states that through Campbell's failure to fulfill Ins contract the company was left with a large stock of cash registers and no money to dispose ot them with. STATE OF BUSINESS. Two View* of Cnmlition* a* F\pr#**scil by

I>un and ltriid*t

New York, June 9.—R. G Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says the outlook for business seems a little bettor on the whole, though the improvement is not great. Moreover, it is impossible to distinguish between mere rejilacement of orders canceled for want of fuel or other causes and the new business for which works are anxiously looking. Bradstroet today says: Nearly all the unfavorable business conditions of the jiast three weeks continue to exercise. The exceptions where imjirovement is noted are of practically local importance. Retail trade at many centers has been interfered with by unfavorable weather and by further restriction of the purchasing jxjwer of thousands of wage earners by further industrial troubles or

by shrinkage in jiroduction.

Detroit, June 9.—Mayor Pingree has advanced a scheme to supply the thousands of idle men in Detroit with vegetables for the winter. He has called on every lot and acreage owner in the city who has a foot of idle land to turn it in for the use of the jioor until the croji

year closes.

He estimates that there is not less than 5,0<»O acres of such land in and about the city, and already has hundreds of acres jiledgetl to his scheme. He expects the figures will reach into the thousands. He will ask the ministers to take uj> a collection tomorrow to jilow the ground and buy seed, and will ask brewers and salixmists to do their share and is sure that the Almighty will furnish the sunshine and rain.

Young Mon Shot From .\inlitiah Near the Scene ot the Famous Fuiirail \\ hit,-cap Massacre Promise Matte In Court FulIHleil hy Sciehlr In,liana llispatelies unit Notes. Indianapolis, June 9.—Judge Baker is taking his own time in the matter of signing a bill of excejitions in the Coffin case. The court has jirejiared and submitted to the attorneys for the defense a bill which he is willing to sign, but it is not satisfactory, ami yesterday Mr. Winter made an argument before the judge for the incorjxiration of other ideas in the document. The question ujiiin which differences hinge is an alleged agreement by which the exceptions to the jury instructions were to lie filed after the verdict, but the government’s attorneys claim that they were not jiarties to such an agreement and that the statute is mandatory on the time of tiling. The argument yesterday led to a lively dialogue in which Judge Baker declared that this particular excejition could not go in and that he thought in insisting upon it the defense was seeking processes by which to defeat the ends of justice. Mr. Winter re sented with the statement that the attorneys were rejiutalile lawyers and had practiced many years, when the court intermitted with this assertion: “1 don't care if yon have practiced in this court a hundred years. The court knows some things as well as others.” He intimated that the attorneys were laying trajis with technicalities and said he did not j care to argue the question. It is evident that when the bill is signed it will lx- of the chafacter which the court desires and njion this must he based the ajijilication for a supersedeas.

BILL DALTON DEAD. Famous Outlaw Trapped and Shot M hi I Trying In I-:*,-ape. Fort Worth. Tex., June 9.—A Gazette's Ardmore (I. T.) sjiecial says: Bill Dalton, the noted outlaw and leader of the Longview bank robbers, is dead in this city, jiierced through by .t Winchester bullet. (tne of bis jials visited Ardmore yesterday and by incautious talking aroused the snsjiiciops of the deputy marshals, who organized and surrounded the robbers’ rendezvous near a little town named Elk, about 20 miles distant. While the men were taking their jiosition Dalton was seen to come out, look around and immediately return. The officers on the east side were discovered by him through a window or by some women in the house and, jitsfol in hand, he jumjied through a window on the north and started to run. floss Hart, one of the deputies, was loss than 30 yards from the house and called on him to halt. Dalton turned around, tried to take aim while running and just then the officer shot. Two jumjis in the air were the only motions made. His jiistol fell from his hand and ho sank to the ground. Hart ran uji and asked him what he was doing there, hut ho was too near dead to reply and exjiired without a word. The house was searched and over 150 letters, besides numerous rolls of crisp bank bills, were found. The addresses proved him to be Bill Dalton, and the money jiroved him to hi- tho leader of the Longview hank robbers. His wife, who is in Ardmore, became hysterical, hut soon recover 'd and telognc bed friends and relatives that her husband was dead. INFECTED CHINCH BUGS. Illiuoi* Mrtliot! of Spreading Contagion Among the Annoying Insect*. Springfield, Ills., June 9.—For some weeks complaints have been sent to the secretary of the state board of agriculture regarding the prevalence of chinch bugs. These complaints have been fnrAvanled to Professor S. A. Forbes, state entomologist at the University of Illinois. He rejiorts the receijit of several requests for advice and assistance on ac count of injury by chinch hugs to small grain, and the jirospeot of much greater injury to corn throughout southern and south central Illinois, 24 counties in that region being at present more or less involved. Most of these corresjiondents wish material for tho introduction of contagious disease among the chinch bugs. The state agricultural experiment station has consequently made an Hiijiropriation sufficient to enable Professor Forbes to supply this demand. Those wishing to avail themselves of the ojiportunity thus afforded to experiment with this method should send to him at Champaign, Ills., from 1,000 to 5,000live chinch bugs, inclosed in a tight tin box. This In ix should lie about half filled with vegetatipn. preferably wheat and corn, and should be sent hy mail or express, accomjHtnied by a note of advice. In return Professor Forbes will send with the least tiossible delay a stuck of infected chinch bugs with full directions for

their use.
