GUARDS WITH RIFLES

Pike County Strikers Preparing to Attack Working Miners. Coal Diggers' Families Face tc Face with Starvation Slanderous Charges . Against Chief Sargent. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. PETERSBURG, Ind.. May 11. Tha strike of coal miners at the "Little" mine has become so serious that a bloody fight with guards 13 looked for to-morrow. Some of the miners who went out two weeks aero went back to work yesterday. Among them were nonunion men. This enraged the strikers and the owner of the mine at once began to make preparations to guard the mines. Several men from Jthis place were sworn In as deputy h?riff3 and were placed at the mines with Winchesters. About one dozen more were heavily armed and placed on guard to-day. It is reported to-night that large delegations of miners from Greene and Daviess counties are on their way to "Little," and will take the men from .the mines at all hazards. The .miners from 'Ayreshlre. about two hundred strong, are also making arrangements to lend assistance to the strikers. Sneriff Kingman received a telegram from the mines this afternoon stating that his services might be- needed and to come Immediately. The operator of the mines denies that there Is any danger of bloodshed, but is making preparations to protect the miners in his employ. The guards will remain at their post day and night. Serious trouble may occur to-morrow, for thousands of miners will be on the grounds from a distance, and it Is not at all improbable that blood will be shed. About Ave hundred miners In the county are on strike, and many of their families are on the verge of starvation. At Little the miners are organizing themselves into committees to go out to the neighboring towns to ask for help. A coal panic is threatened on one hand, and on the other starvation for the miners and their families. The latest addition to the strike in this county is the closing down of the Augusta mines. Every mine of Importance In the county is now closed. Starvation is not only staring the miners of Pike county In the face, but It hangs like a pall over every mining hamlet In this section of the State. Cries of distress are heard all over southern Indiana. . The Boonville mines, employing several hundred men, have at last suspended operation. This Is regarded as a big victory for the strikers. TROUBLOUS MIXERS' COXVBXTIOX. Indinuu Opcrutom Muy Caae u. Split at the Cleveland Meeting:. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., May 11. The Indiana bituminous mine operators to-day determined on the course they will follow at the Cleveland conference next week. When the' Indiana meeting received a telegram from Chicago saying that the Illinois operators had unanimously decided not to be represented at Cleveland. It took but a minute to prepare and adopt a whereas and resolutions to the effect that as it is a well-established fact that the miners of Indiana cannot be successfully operated on a scale of wages relatively in excess of that paid in central and southern Illinois, be it resolved that the Indiana delegates to the Cleveland conference' be instructed not to agree to any scale of wages relatively In exce3s of any that may be agreed on between the United Mine Workers' organization and the operators of central and southern Illinois. It was further resolved that the. bituminous operators of Indiana will not" be bound by the action of the Cleveland convention unless some scale Is agreed to between the United Mine Workers and the operators in central and southern Illinois and the above conditions complied with. This brings the issue back where it has been for five years, when the Illinois operators withdrew from the Interstate agreement. The Indiana and Ohio operators here worked In collusion with miners during the past few weeks, trying to get Illinois In line. At the meeting to-day J. Smith Talley was re-elected president, W.'S. Bogle vice president and James Landrum secretary and treasurer. The executive committee, whose members are also the delegates to Cleveland are as follows: J. Smith Talley W. S. Bogle, Joseph Martin. J. K. Selfert! A. M. Ogle, D. Ingle and W. Kenner. EVIL STORIES DEXIED. Chief Sargent Ilnd Nothing to Do with $100,000 Brotherhood Funds. TERRE HAUTE. Ind., May ll.-The board of grand trustees and the grand executive board of local locomotive firemen to-day considered the complaints of firemen against Chief Sargent, the latter haying refused to sanction a strike on the Chicago & Eastern Illinois after the firemen had voted almost unanimously in favor of it. Chief Morrissy, of the trainmen, Is here, and Chief Clark, of the conductors, wili arrive in the morning. These offlcers being familiar with the causes leading to Chief Sargent s action have been called Into conference. It is not likely that the meetings will end before the middle of next week. The Ann Arbor firemen have gone home, having failed to secure restoration of the strike pay. A little diversion In to-day's meeting was the discussion of the published stories about a $100,000 shortage in brotherhood funds and another about a big row between Chief Sargent and Secretary-Treasurer Arnold, when the latter demanded to know what had become of the funds. The ofllcers believe these stories were instigated by disgruntled members of the order, who now pretend loyalty to the American Railway Union. The fact Is the strike fund never reached but $69,000 and was In the charge of the grand trustees. Its disposition has been fully accounted for. I.. U. & W. Given $2,000 Damages. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MUNCIE. Ind.. May 11. The litigation caured by the Muncie Belt Railroad Company attempting to cross the tracks of the L. E. & W. belt is not yet at an end. A few days ago Judge Koons decided that the seven crossings should be put In and he named a commission to assess damages. The investigation resulted In the commissioners allowing the I. E. & W. $2,000 damages. The Muncie Belt at once paid tftit amount nto the county clerk's office for tho I.. E. & W.. but it still remains there uncalled for. The Lake Erie people will likely fight the case further, but the Muncle Belt is putting In the crossings. It is" virtually n right between the L. E. & W. and the Big Four companies, which will again go to the United States court. Hiiro Grindstone Burnt. .Special to the Indianapolis Journal. CONNERSVILLE, Ind..

An evening paper publishes a sensational story to the effect that representatives of Secretary Herbert have begun an Investigation of the plates of the monitor Monterey at Mare island, and have discovered serious defects in her construction. A photographer was taken aboard and obtained photos of a number of the plates, the intention being to have the Carnegie informers mark on them the exact location of the weak plates and thus make easy the work of the Investigators. One of the officials making the Investigation Is quoted as saying that places have been found where the "plate would have crumbled if struck by a round shot and that from present appearances the vessel would not stand ordinary fire. The final tests are to be made after the informers have Indicated what plates are bad. It is claimed that Secretary Herbert's present trip to the coast is partly in connection with the Monterey investigation. MU. TIIl'IlUErrS TRIALS. Lot of the President Private Secretary Xot nn Entirely Hupny One. Washington Post Some idea of the trials of Mr. Thurber may bo gained from the little incidents I have witnessed. I remember distinctly of one day seeing a very well dressed, handsome woman go into the office of Mr. Thurber and after introducing herself state that she wished to see the President. "At present, madam, the President is enfaged. If you will tell me your business will see that It reaches him, and possiblv not only save his time but yours also," said Mr. Thurber very politely. The woman was reluctant for a few moments, but finally launched out. When she had talked for about ten minutes the secretary in his calm, quiet way excused himself for interrupting and said: "It occurs to me that if you are desirous of having this matter brought to the attention of the President you had better commit it to writing. I cannot promise to remember It In the detail In which you have given It." "Cannot remember ii, did you say?" snapped his caller. "Yws. madam. I cannot promise to burden myself with it." "Then you can't remember it." ! "I presume," replied Mr. Thurber, not losing a spark of his equanimity, "that if I made an effort I could retain It; as It Is, however, I cannot remember It." The woman got up from the big leather chair, pranced around the room, looked out of the windows toward the monument, and then shooting across to the door, shouted: "Well, then, all I have to say is that you have a damned poor memory." Now. that's the kind of rewawl the private secretary of a President gets when he takes particular pains to help petitioners. For a time nt the beginning of the present administration Mr. Thurber was almost hourly visited by women carrying bed spreads and crazy quilts on which the. President or Mrs. Cleveland were to write their names. At last this fad assumed such alarming proportions that a bureau for the reteDtlon of all such things was established across the hall from Mr. Thurber's office. I cannot say, but I stroncly suspect that clerks were employed In this department to sign the names, and credulous women worked In floss and filoselle the names of the head official and his wife that had been written by young men" and women hired to do the writing at so much a week. Mr. Thurber Is besieged constantly by women who want to see Mrs. Cleveland and the babies. "Can't you Just take me into Mrs. Cleveland's room and tell her who I am. She won't care, and I won't do anything but look at her," they explain In their confidential way. When he assures thcai that Mrs. Cleveland is not on exhibition at that time they beff for a special dispensation for themselves, never realizing that if the demands of the people were regarded Mrs. Cleveland and the children would be on inspection drill twenty-four hours In every day without a moment's cessation for eating or sleeping. Some people come to the private secretary with pathetic appeals. They want to see the President, that he may have their husbands or fathers returned to the government employ, from which they have been removed. The little stories of their Borrows and trlato are quite as vivacious as they are pathetic, and though because of tht Imnojssibihtv cf it dolnj; them- any -good

they never 'reach the President, they are are not the less kindlj' heard by his secretary. Sometimes women 'suffrcgists float Into the White House and up the softly-carpeted stairs to Mr. Thurber. I remember one who desired a consulate. She said In her manly voice, as If delivering a speech from the Auditorium stage: "Mr. Secretary, it has been proved conclusively that woman Is mentally man's equal. In endurance she is his equal, and in morals his superior. Mr. Secretary, I call upon you to know if this is not so?" Mr. Thurber stroked his pale drab mustache, looked very thoughtful and assented. "Mr. Secretary, in the names of the women of these United States, In the names of mothers who bore the voters, by the right of their intelligence, and the nobility of. their motives, I demand that they may be given a vote." "But. madam, I cannot enfranchise women," said Mr. hurber, apprehensively. "Mr. Secretary, I don't want you to enfranchise women, but I want you to show your approval of bestowing that grand and glorious privilege upon the nobler, if weaker, sex bv securing for me a consulate." The grand eloquence or the speech slightly aroused Mr. Thurber, who said: ' "In order to save you time and trouble In going to the departments, I will tell you now that you are not eligible to a consulate and, consequently, cannot have it. no matter how much you and all your friends think you should." Then he explained at considerable length that only citizens were eligible and that women, not being citizens, could not be ambassadors. It was impossible to misunderstand such a lengthy and kindly explanation, and the' woman was naturally deterred from carrying the matter any further, but, unwilling to leave without once more asserting her4 dignity, she drew herself up to her full five feet nine and said: . t "Mr. Secretary, it Is an 'unjust; ruling, and I shall see that our Representative to Congress has it changed." Up to date, however, it has not been changed. These are a few of Mr. Thurber's duties, a few of the wild Incidents In which he has figured, and yet at election time the whole masculine world falls over Itself In the endeavor to become the President's private secretary.

There was a sensational incident at the Opera Comique tonight at the end of tha performance of the play, "The Socity Butterfly," which was produced for the first time on Thursday night. After the fall of the curtain Mr. Buchanan, one of the authors of the play came to the footlights and asked the audience to remain in their seats. He proceeded to read an extract from Clement Scott's criticism of the play, In which Mr. Scott said the play was a failure and that the audience on Thursday night left the theater before the play was ended. Mr. Buchanan. In an excited manner, branded Mr. Scott's words as entirely false. The whole audience, he declared, had waited to the end of the performance, but an unexampled and unseemly demonstration had occurred in the gallery, when a cabal had Insulted and endeavored to terrify a helple3S woman (Mrs. Langtry.) This wasn't the first tlms that Mr. Scott had endeavored to do him personal injury. He did so when "The Charlatan" was produced at the Haymarket and utterly perverted and destroyed the story of the play, which either he. did not see or was not in a fit condition to r?member or describe. He was a writer of fcollsh versions for music halls and of crude adaptations. He had repeatedly gone out of his way to abuse his (Mr. Buchanan's) work. "I wish, from tha stage," Mr. Buchanan went on, "to state publicly that he is a man without veracity, conscience or honor, an egotistical and spiteful creature, who puffs his friends and insults his foes, and is generally a disgrace to journalism. He totally ignored the cowardly attack made last night on a defenseless lady, and possibly sympathized with those who made it. for he himself is fond of attacking defenseless women who have fallen out of his good graces." The audience vociferously cheered Mr. Buchanan when he had finished. The Joint author of te play. Mr. Murray, then came forward and said that he entirely concurred In Mr. Buchanan's remarks. In response to loud culls from the audlencs Mrs. lnngtry then appeared, hand in hand with Mr. Buchanin. and there was a renewed outburst of cheering. The audience then dispersed. Cable Notes.

Speed of Would-Be Handicap "Winners NEW YORK, May U. It was unusually late to-day when the thoroughbreds at Gravesend were gotten out upon the track for exercise.

Trotting Association Decisions. - CHICAGO, May 11. Among other prominent cases that were decided by the board of review of the National Trotting Association was that of J. A. Lyman, driver of the pacer Grover S. (2:14), which, it was claimed, was poisoned at Philadelphia in 1892. The plea was made not in extenuation of his guilt, but that his punishment had been severe enough to work his complete reformation. Petitions were presented from the offlcers of the three trotting associations at Binghamton, N. Y., and from many other members in Pennsylvania and New York, and these evidently had weight with the board, for his temporary reinstatement was granted. The board of appeals suspended a one-hundred-dollar fine against owner Dr. L. Duffy and relieved his horse Abdullah Chief from the effect of alleged "no time" race. The fine was imposed at Newberne last August. Poor Sport at St. Louts. ST. LOUJS. May 11.

New York Herald. Miss Sadie Martinot has broken up her beautiful home In this city and offered for sale at auction all her household treasures. She had collected trinkets, paintings, ornaments and furniture all over the world, and she expects the auctioneer to take five days in disposing of them. "There are pleasant memories connected with nearly every one of the articles," she said to me last evening when I saw her at the Hoffman House, "and It is like parting with old friends to get rid of them. I am going to leave the city next season and 1 realize that I cannot keep up a permanent home while I am on tne stage. I have bought things everywheree with the idea of beautifying my home things I could admire in themselves without regard to their intrinsic value." Miss Martlnot's collection Includes many articles that could not be duplicated in America, If In the entire world. One of her most novel possessions that she intends to sell is a cravat made of solid woven gold, with a fringe of pearls and diamonds. It may either be worn around the throat or tied on the arm. She says it took the entire time of a skilled goldsmith eighteen months to make It and the only duplicate of it in the world belongs to the Countess de Paris. Another remarkable ornament is a very large glove buttoner, with a great monogram of diamonds and rubies and large diamond and sapphire ornaments. She visited Cuba some time ago and was entertained by Francisco de Alvarez, who lost the tiny gold glove buttoner he had taken from her hands. When she next saw him he was In Paris and brought the large one to her to replace the one he had lost. It Is In a very handsome tortoise sh?U box. A pair of massive diamond earrings and pendants that will be sold were given to Miss Martinot by Ba.on George von Blelchroder, of Berlin. They had crossed the ocean on the same steamer and Mls3 Martinot had played " the accompaniment for the Baron when he sang at ;ne usual ship concert. v Miss Martinot has always specially prized a pair of opera glasses literally covered wltn magnificent diamonds. "They were given to me by a royal personage, whose name I am not at liberty to mention." she said. Another valuable trifle is an antique miniature surrounded by old mine diamonds.

TUG FALL OF XAPOLHOX. The Story "Well Written by Vincent AVolneley, of London. New York Advertiser. Viscount Wolseley Is writing a series of articles for the Pall Mall Magazine on the "Decline and Fall of Napoleon," the most recent and interesting being contained in the May issue of that publication. So much has been said by wr'ters and orators about the setting of Napoleon's star and about his downfall being a divine retribution for the wrong he had committed that it Is refreshing to have the actual story of the overthrow of the great empeitr E resented by the most distinguished of iritlsh living commanders. It Is clear from the vivid and impartial description vf the scenes of 1813-14 by General Wolseley that Napoleon's downfall was primarily attributable to two leading causes. In the first place, when his. affairs wera really in a desperate situation, after the Armageddon of Lelpslc. he declined to accept at the hands of the allies a France bounded by the Rhine and the Pyrenees, and more . extensive in territory than the France over which the proudest Dourbons had reigned. In the next place, he fell because his resources were exhausted. France had no more millions or even thousands to sacrifice to his ambition. The bones of her sons .were scattered from Moscow to Bavaria; 'only women and children were left to cultivate the soil, and as the remaining veterans fell In gallant conflict against overwhelming odds, none stepped forward to fill the places of the slain. The enemies of Napoleon did not at once become aware of the exhausted condition of France and of the Inability of their dreaded antagonist to recruit his depleted armies. They stood In fear of the very shadow of France. It was this fear that gave Napoleon his opportunltv. That opportunity he rejected, and the allies then closed in for the conclusive struggle. General Wolseley shows that Napoleon exhibited splendid strategy and self-control under circumstances well calculated to break down even his powerful mind, and that but for the treachery and. incapacity of subordinates he might have given a stunning blow to the invaders. But the end was inevitable. Napoleon's foes had discovered his weakness and had broken the charm of his invincibility. A brilliant victory for the French would only have deferred, but would not have defeated, their triumph. The pitiful situation to which France was reduced by Napoleon's wars suggests that the greatest conquerors have been, in one sense, the greatest enemies of their own countries, and that the exploits which read so brilliantly have usually resulted in as great calamity for victors as for vanquished. The most signal proofs of this historical fact are to be found in the condition of Sweden after Charles XII and of France when Napoleon fell. Sweden has never recovered the place she held In Europe before Charles sought to become another Alexander, and France Is paying the penalty to-day for the achievements of the man in whose name and fame she takes the greatest pride, as the Swedes admire and love the memory of Charles XII, although he found them In purple and left them in ashes. TOUACCO AND TIIK PLXPIT. Kept Out of nn M. E. Conference Because He Wouldn't Pledge Himself. Boston Herald. The case of the Rev. Dillon Bronson, of Newton, who refused to pledge himself to abstain from the use of tobacco, has been settled for one year at least. Mr, Bronson did not receive full admission to the New England Methodist Conference, but will remain on probation another year and perform the duties of pastor of the Methodist Church in Newton. There has been a pood deal of comment on the ruling of. Bishop Fitzgerald in this case. It is safe to say that the majority of the delegates to the conference in W'altham did not agree with him, and had the question of admitting Mr. Bronson been submitted to a vote of the conference he would have been admitted by a larpre majority. But the Bishop did not give the conference an orportunlty to vote. He ruled that if a candidate for admission did not give an alllrmative answer to the question there was no alternative he could not be admitted. The Kev. Mr. Bronson was told by the Bishop that if he decided to give an affirmative answer before the conference adjourned he would receive full admission. Mr. Bronson Is popular among the ministers of the conference and Is generally admired and respected as one of the most successful young preachers and for .many Christian and manly qualities, and several of his friends were particularly anxious that he should receive full admission. Some of the most prominent ministers of the conference think the Bishop was arbitrary in his ruling; that the conference should have been given an opportunity to decide whether the answer given to the question was satisfactory, and they believe tnat the Discipline does not require that the answers should necessarily be In the atllrmatlve. but to the satisfaction of the conference. Bishop Fitzgerald, however, preferred to Interpret the Discipline for himself, and his action has raised a ' problem which will probably be solved at the next General Conference of the Methodist lplscopal Church. Several of the most prominent members of the conference, when Interviewed, tsai 1 they considered it of great Importance to know whether the Bishop or the annual conference rhould Judge of the eligibility of a candidate for full admission, and that the General Conference should give a decision in the matter. The case was one of the principal topics of conversation at the conference in V.'altham, anil various opinions were expressed In regard to It. Some of the older delegates agreed with the Bishop, and thought the young man presr.mptuous In the stand he took, while others thought him too pro gressive and liberal in his views. Stories j were told, too, about Mr. Bronson. which j found credence with many of the delegates who did not know him personally, and these stories gave a tinge of sensationalism to his case. It was stated that he walked the streets of Newton smoking a meerschaum j pipe, nmi tnat me ract mat ne usea tobacco had made him objectionable to some of the members of his church. "Yes. I heard some of those stories." said Mr. Bronson yesterday, when questioned as to how much truth there was In them. I am sorry this matter has caused so much talk, and I do not want to say anything that will bring It before the public again. There is no truth In those stories, however. 1 have not used tobacco habitually for eight years, and do not Intend to. It Is simply a question of personal liberty, and I exp'tnfd my jk1Uou when before the Bishop. There

PENNSYLVANIA BT, are a number of ministers who were admitted to the conference l-fore that question was put in the Discipline. Some of them use tobacco, and if it is to necessary that young ministers should answer the questions, why shouldn't these older ministers be asked to do so? I have talked with some of the older bishops about the matter, and they were of the opinion that the question did not require an atttrmatlve answer. In fact, they stated th.it requiring Methodist ministers to answer such questions had lessened the respect of many people for the church." A Son jr. It was the time when the heaven come down.
