The ptrlke In the coal mines at Linton was adjusted by Secretary Wilson, of the United Mine Worker, and the men returned to work yesterday. The strike was the outgrowth of the refusal of the company to re-emple-y a man who had voluntarily left thrir service. The men struck and the superintendent said If they would return to work the man would be re-employed. They returned, but the man was not reinstated and they came out again. Beere tary Wilson held that when a man voluntarily leaves the employ of a company without a Just grievance the company la under no obligation to take him back; that the miners trred in striking the tlrst time, but since the company had promised to take the mm back providing the strikers would return to work it thtn obligated Itself and should have carried out Its promise. The decision was accepted by both sides and the man was put back to work. Stubbed In the Dack. Henry Watson and Jim Dean, both colored, fought in Cohen's barrel house on East Washington street last night over r. dUigreement In wages. Watson was tabbed twice In the back by Dean.

THE GERMAN VOTE

SAMt'HL II. WL'LFMAXff GIVES RESILT OF HIS CANVASS. lie Has Hern Maklnjx Supeeche In German In Spencer, Bartholomew and Denton Counties. IS HO CAUSE POS AIAEM MOST GERMANS FAVOIl 3FKIXLEY AND rnOSIEHITV. They Are Afraid of Drynn' Silver HeresyLocal Political its ' and Gossip. Samuel II. Wulfmann, of Huntlngburff, who has been making speeches In German In Spencer, Bartholomew and Benton counties, under the direction of the state com mittee. Is In the city spending Sunday. He expects to make more German speeches and will go back to Bartholomew county at the request of the party workers there. Mr. Wulfmann Is greatly encouraged over the puccess he has had, and from the stories he relates In reference to his reception among the Germans there Is no doubt about the German vote in Indiana, Mr. Wulfmann declares that he has not found a single German voter who has been a Republican who will not support the Republican ticket this year. On the contrary, he says the Republicans will gain many German votes from the ranks of the Democracy. "I have talked to a good many Germans," said Mr. Wulfmann yesterday, "and I find that those who are Republicans are still loyal. The Get mans resent the charge made by the Democratic leaders that the Germans are deserting the Republican party because of the issue of imperialism. They feel that .t Is a reflection on their Intelligence. As a matter of fact, the Germans are not worrying about the issue of Imperialism; It Is the financial question that is occupying the minds of the Germans. They would be afraid to vote for Fryan, because they think he would be a dangerous man to be at the head of the government. A FIXE ORGANIZATION. Mr. Wulfmann says that Spencer county has the finest German Republican organization In the State. He says he finds that a great many of the young Germans of the State those who belong to Democratic families will vote for McKinley. In some instances whole families of Germans will leave the Democracy this year because of the free silver danger, and In other cases the fathers, who have perhaps voted the Democratic ticket all their lives, will remain with the party, but the eons will vote for McKinley. Mr. Wulfmann says he found one case where the father, an elderly man, said he did not care to change hla politics, but remarked: "My boys will vote for the Republican candidates, and that Is all tight." Mr. Wulfmann, in addition to addressing large audiences of Germans, visits them In their homes and has "heart to heart" talks with them. He believes he Is In a position to speak authoritatively on the German .question, and he asserts that there need be no uneasiness In Indiana about the German vote. "Before I started out speechmaklng," said Mr. Wulf mann, "I was a little bit uneasy over what the papers had to say about the Germans and imperialism, and I was not right certain what I would find when I got Into the heat of the campaign. But I lind that there Is nothing In this talk about the Germans being "off" on Imperialism. The Republican Germans will all vote for McKinley and some Democrats will vote with them." REPUBLICAN MEETINGS. Many' Hare Been Arranged for This Week br County Committee. A number of meetings have been arranged for Representative Overstreet this week. To-morrow, at noon, he will speak at the Big Four shops, on Shelby street, and In the evening at 8 o'clock at Southport.

Edwards, editor of the Social Democratic Herald, of Chicago, addressed an audience of about fifty Social Democrats In Reichweln's Hall last night. According to the custom in such addresses the speaker devoted considerable time to tracing the alleged evolution of the worklngman from the state In which he was the sole owner of the tools or implements with which he performed his labor to the present time, when he Is asserted to be a slave no longer owning tho machine with which he tolls but absolutely dependent upon the few who do control such machines. Mr. Edwards made a plea for the "social revolution, and Inauguration of the co-operative commonwealththat system of national and international co-operation for which Social Democracy the wide world over stands." Concerning the Democratic party he said: "Mr. Bryan, they tell us, proposes to help the wrorklngmen. How? How does he propose to do it? Well, br destroying the trusts and giving us free coinage of silver at JC to L By destroying the trusts? Yes. Why not destroy the linotype machine in the office of a great modern newspaper? Why not destroy those wonderful. Intricate,

complex, clever presses that operate In all the dally newspaper offices In this and other cities? It would be just as Insane for any man to propose such a thing as to propose tc destroy the most modern and the most efficient economic method of managing modern business, Which is the trust. A proposition to smash the trust Is a proposition to go back to the corporations, back to the companies, back to the partnerships, back to the individuals. That is the proposition, that Is the logic of Mr. , Bryan' proposition to smash the trusts. A reversal of a necessary and logical order of things Is the proposal, of the Democratic party. As opposed to such a programme as that we of the Social Democratic party propose the extension and the expansion of the truit until it shall have no limitations, until it shall Include all the Industrial affairs of the nations, and until it shall take in as shareholders, partners, owners of the social wealth, every man. woman and child within this universe. That is the social proposition. It is fn perfect adjustment with social evolution, my friends. "Then, again, they tell us that Mr, Bryan or the Democratic platform tells us that the Interests of the corporations should be protected. They Just want to get rid of the trust and put us back to the regime of the corporations. In the name of common sense, have we not had enough experience with corporations In this country In attempts, both State and national, to control and regulate them and do we not know and If we be honest men must we not admit that we have utterly failed to control corporations, and the corporations control us? Corporations were the masters of this government. The trusts are the masters of this government. There Is no going backward to any previous condition; of servitude. There Is only a movement forward to a condition of economic freedom and to the attainment of that condition this movement and thlä party is committed." Mr. Edwards was followed by John W. Kelly, of Marion, candidate for Governor on the Social Democratic ticket. In a brief speech. Another meeting of Social Democrats will be held in the same hall this afternoon at 3 o'clock. Messrs. Edwards, Kelly and local members of the organization will talk brleily. . , FOR CAMPAIGN PURPOSES.

The City's Money Being: Used vrlth n Lavish Hand. The Democratic city administration has begun to take care of the ward heelers by making enormous additions to the ttreet-cleanlng force, and the Board of Works has ordered many additional streets cleaned and repaired, so that a large force will be employed until after the election. Last week's pay roll for the street commissioner's force was $S11.40, nearly double what It was during the summer months, and now It will be increased at an alarming rate. On Oct. 8 there remained in the street repair fund $16,230.45; in the sewer fund, $2,.44, and for the bridge gang, ?1,241.56, and it is said that all of this will be used for campaign purposes. Hie Meeting at Avon. Deputy Attorney General Hadley and James M. Ogden addressed a Republican meeting at Avon, Hendricks county, yesterday afternoon, there being In the neighborhood of five hundred people present. A pole-ralslng was one of the features of the meeting. Three bands were present and three glee clubs, and there was plenty of music. Two troops of Rough Riders took part In the demontration. Mr. Hadley formerly lived In this neighborhood, and ha was given an ovation by his friends. Bettina: Still One Way. Several bets were posted yesterday of 50 to 20 that McKinley will win and a lot of 10 to 4 bets. Two of the 50 to 20 bets were taken soon after they were posted. At the Kingston there Is a bet of 5100 to $30 that Representative Overstreet will be elected. There Is an even money bet that BcKlnley will win In New York, Vermont, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maine, Rhode Island, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Massachusetts. Republicans by giving long odds cannot place their money. Senator Fornker Passed Through. Senator Foraker passed through the city yesterday on his way to Sheridan to deliver an address yesterday afternoon. He says that so far as Ohio Is concerned, Republicans need not be worried, for It is safely Republican. He also thinks the outlook is very bright for Republicans in West Virginia. Representative Landls went to Sheridan with Senator Foraker, as the town is in Landls's district. Governor Mounts's Dates. Governor Mount will begin his speaking campaign this week at Montezuma on Tuesday. Wednesday he will be at Center Point, Clay county; Friday he will address a meeting at Martinsville and Saturday afternoon he will be the central figure at a big rally to be held In Brownsburg. Und a Small Meet In a-. Edward Little, one of the local Democratic leaders, addressed a meeting on Udell street. North Indianapolis, last night. One citizen counted the crowd and stated that there were seventy-three people present, eleven of whom were boys. No More of Bryan. It Is announced that William J. Bryan will not make any more speeches In Indiana this campaign. This Information follows the visit of Mayor Taggart and Chairman Martin to Chicago. A Poll of CommisMlon Row. A Republican and Democrat together yesterday 'afternoon took a poll of Commission row, with this result: 107 will vote for McKinley. 33 for Bryan and 8 doubtfuL TRIED TO BREAK JAIL. Sanrs Smuirxled Into the Jail, but the rir.n Was Discovered. James Welsh, sentenced to from one to three years on a charge of petit larceny, George Miller, sentenced to from one to four years on a charge of grand larceny, and Francis Shafer, sentenced to from two to fourteen years on a charge of assault and battery with Intent to rob, were taken to. Jefferscnvllle Reformatory by Sheriff Clark yesterday. Shafer is from Chicago and Is said to have a bad record. When placed In Jail he is quoted as saying that he would get out, and yesterday when his cell was searched four saws ten and one-half inches long and three-eighths of an inch In width were found hidden In his mattress. The bars on one of the windows showed that the prisoners had been at work, as a slight impression was made on the Iron. The saws are supposed to have been smuggled In to Shafer by some of his experienced pals. Shafer is the man who attempted to snatch Mary Miller's pocketbook while she was returning home on North California street and was caught by her brother and held until the officers arrived. Hot "Water People Delayed. Members of the Home Heating and Lighting Company are now said to be visiting other cities where the hot water system of heating la In use in an effort to decide which system is the best. It Is now said to be doubtful whether a plant will be put In this winter. The provision of the contract and franchise with the city specifies that work shall begin within ninety days after the selection of the territory to be heated by the system, and that the plant shall be ready for service by the first of next September. The Board of Works has not yet selected the territory to be supplied by the first heating plant, the reason being given that the board Is waiting for the company to select its system, and to get Its plans in shape before compelling It to start the plant within the ninety days' limit. The members who are examining the different systems are said to be having difficulty In choosing because cf the warm weather, the systems not being able to prove their merits. Another reason for the delay Is said to be that the large order for iron and pipes cannot be filled on short notice unless exorbitant prices are -paid. The ordinance and franchise were pushed in order that the company might begin the erection of Its plant this winter. New Pianos less than factory prices, HC5 up. Save middleman's proSL YTuiscnntr'sv

RESULT OF COLLISION

ONE MAN DEAD AND ANOTHER IN SEIIIOLS CONDITION. Only One 31 an in the Street Car Escaped Without Injury in the Wreck. DEATH OF ARTHUR STAATS ATTEMPT TO PLACE RESPONSIBILITY FOR COLLISION. A Full List of the InJnredP,ascns:er Condition of the InjuredOther Details. The grade-crossing collision at Thirteenth street and L E. & TV. tracks was the "paramount Issue" In this city yesterday. It took the place of political discussion. Among Democrats and Republicans it was the generally expressed opinion that something in the way of safety measures must be taken to . prevent other accidents of the kind, of which there have been many during the last few years, though none of them in which the lives of so many people were at one time in danger. As is usual In such cases there is a dispute as to the responsibility for the accident. Conductor Krauss maintains he did not give Motorman Kriel the signal to cross the tracks, while Kriel denies this, saying: the signal, indicating a clear track, was given by the conductor who was far enough ahead of the car to see imminent danger, and after discovering the oncoming L. E. & W. engine, gave another signal to stop. Kriel said the latter signal was too late for him to stop before reaching the track and upon realizing this he turned on the full current, which he claims was insufficient, In the hope that he might cross the track before the engine struck the car. Street-car men generally refuse to talk about the accident or matters of a similar nature, though among them was heard talk of carelessness in giving signals. In the explanations of the conductor and motorman there Is ground for the belief that Conductor Krauss gave the signal by a slight downward motion of his hand, to the motorman to remain where he was, and that this signal, on account of the careless manner in which signals are given, was thought by the motorman to be the signal to cross. ONE DEATH RESULTS One death has resulted from the accident and another will probably occur within a short time. Arthur Staats, of 0 South Bevllle avenue, who was found on the floor of the car unconscious and suffering from a fracture of the skull at its base, died at ? o'clock yesterday morning without regaining consciousness. A trepanning operation was performed at the hospital last night, but resulted in no relief. Staats was employed at the Brightwood shops and had worked overtime Friday. He lived with his parents, who, though hearing of the accident and knowing that he was at Brightwood, did not learn of his Injury until yesterday morning, and did not reach the hospital until about an hour after his death. The physicians at the hospital were unable Friday night to identify htm, his name In the excitement being given as "Archie Staff, of Jefferson avenue." Eaton Barnes, of &9 Virginia avenue, was unconscious last night, and suffering from a fracture of the skull and internal Injuries. He was delirious, and opiates were necessary to keep him quiet. His condition was such that no operation could be performed. Late last night it was said he was gradually growing worse and his death was looked for in a few hours. Bert Baldwin, of 232 St. Joseph street, V7ho was also taken to the City Hospital, was much improved yesterday, though seriously injured about the back and spine. The doctors said there was no danger In his case. Baldwin, in telling what he knew of the accident, said he was sitting on the north side ofthe car next to Staats, but arose before the timbers which crushsd Staats's skull struck him. The excitement was 6o great that he dH not realize he had been injured until outside the car. Mrs. S. W. Weeks, of 419 Madison avenue, was yet in a critical condition last night, and her physician said he couid not tell what the result would be. He was somewhat doubtful a3 to her recovery. Two rib3 were broken, her lungs were affected by one of the bones penetrating- the lung, her right h!p was crushed, and she was cut about tho head and chest by glass. Most of her injuries were received by being trampled upon by men after she was thrown to the floor of the car. THE OTHER INJURED. The record of the conductor showed twen-ty-one passengers. The names of all have been secured, and the list shows only one man, Edward Vest, living on Wolf Pike, near Brightwood, who escaped with no Injury whatever. The names of the other passengers are: Dr. E. B. Brlgham, 1820 East Twelfth street, slight Injuries. Charles E. Logsdon, 1114 East Pratt street, slightly cut and bruised. Emanuel Coonfield, 716 Madison avenue, scalp wounds, sprained hip and toes mashed. Henry Strieby, S23 Temple avenue, cut by glass, at work yesterday. Atlas Moore, 23 South Oriental street, bruised about head, hip crushed, and cut by glass. H. C. Etter, 104 Miley avenue, bruised about body. Perry Macy, 102 Miley avenue, body bruised and cut about head. Hattie Gurleg, 1516 South Lee street, nose broken, head and arms bruised. H. P.tBrunaugh. Spann avenue, cut about head and bruised. Mrs. Frudence Campbell, 403 North West street, injured about head. Miss Mamie Campbell. 4v9 North West street, head slightly bruised. Easton Van Dorn, Highland avenue, bruised about head and body. Charles Koehler, Keystone avenue, nose crushed and body bruised. James K. Cathiser, West Indianapolis, ler bruised. G. G. Shaw, Detroit, Mich., leg injured. M. J. Miller, of 1415 Ash street, was a passenger on the car, but alighted east of the railway crossing. Intending to walk the rest of the distance to his home. Motorman William Kriel's Injuries were not serious, though painful. He was bruised about the head, back and hips. All of the injured, with the exceptions named, were ciolng well last night, and though some of them may terminate more seriously than Is now anticipated, the probabilities are that most of them will be able to be up and about in a iew days. STATEMENTS MADE. In his statement of the accident. Motorman fKriel said there were no lights on the rear of the engine, and that the bell was not ringing. These statements would indicate that Kriel was so excited that he did not notice the lights, and as for the bell, he might not have heard it, for the vestibule of the car was closed. The statements of. the engineer, John Bepley, Yardmaster Harry Bolser and others of the switching crew are that the lightä were burning, and were even brighter than those on the head end. Their statements are corroborated by a number of the passengers who sat on the south side of the car, and realized the danger 'upon seeing the light fast approaching them. It was the approach of the engine light which caused them to give the alarm and make a rush for. the rear door before the engine struck the car. II. F. Bickell. assistant superintendent of the Lu E. & W. railway. Investigated the matter yesterday, and after getting the statements of the employes, said he was satisfied the crew traa la no wls to tUrrs

There was much comment by those at the scene of the accident concerning the absence of electric lights at the crossing. The lack of such lights makes the passage of pedestrians dangerous for the reason that when long strings of cars are backed over the crossing, their approach cannot be seen until they have passed the property line and then only Indistinctly. The absence of lights at other crossings was mentioned. NEWSPAPERS HEAPED HIGH Cannot Be Forwarded for Lack of Sufficient Postage. "I want to show you one of the trials of a postmaster's life," said Deputy Postmaster John E. Shldeler, last evening, as he opened the door of a room next to the postmaster's private apartment, and bade the reporter enter. The first thing that attracted attention on entering the room was the vast quantity of newspapers It contained. These were wrapped, addressed and stamped apparently ready for mailing and contained in eight bushel baskets, each of which was heaped to overflowing with papers. "Every package of newspapers In those baskets is held for lack of the proper amount of postage,"' continued Mr. Shldeler. "That is Just the accumulation of the interval that has elapsed since carnival week. I guess the extra large editions that were printed by the newspapers that week got the minds of the people twisted. For about the millionth time, I want to repeat that newspaper postage is one cent for every four ounces or a fraction thereof. By that I mean that, if a wrapped newspaper weighs anything above four ounces and below eight, two cents In stamps must be affixed to it. It is simply astonishing to discover how many people there are who think that just any newspaper will go through the malls for a one-cent stamp. A certain local paper prints at the head of its editorial department that a twelve-page edition will go for one cent while a paper larger than that on up to twenty-four pages requires two cents for mailing. The public ought to bear In mind also that foreign rates of postage are double those which prevail In this country that Is to say, for newspapers, one cent for each two ounces or fraction. Foreign rates do not, however, prevail in Canada or Mexico. Letters, papers or packages may be mailed to any point in either of those countries at the regular domestic rates. "Many thoughtless people complain of cur strictness in holding packages which are not provided with the proper amount cf postage," said Mr. Shldeler, "but it !s tecause they do not understand the position in which we. are placed. Suppose that I should let one of these packages of newspapers go on its way without the necesary stamps and the postmaster at the ether end of the line should detect the error, as he would be almost bound to do. Then what? Why, he would be perfectly justified in reporting us to the department at Washington and I do not care to pursue the subject any further." "What becomes of all this short postage stuff?" was asked Mr. Shldeler. "Well," he replied, "when the sender has given us his name and address, we notify him of tho lack of postage, and it he cares enough about the package to come and supply the lack of stamps It will be torwarded without further delay. If, however, we do not know the sender's address we mall a card to the party for whom the package Is Intended, notifying him that upon payment of a certain amount of postage due' we will send It to him. All this takes time and no end of trouble, however, and is a needless burden upon the postmaster and his force of employes. I do wish the public would learn the rates of postage and pay better heed to them. Our regular work Is amply sufficient to keep us all busy without having useless burdens heaped upon us." Arrested by Deputy Marshals. Deputy United States Marshals Branham and Boyd yesterday arrested John Shrupperd on North Delaware street on a charge of violating the United States mall laws. It is charged that he has been sending threatening letters and postal cards through the mall to his wife at St. Paul, Shelby county, from whom he is separated. His hearing will be before Commissioner Moores tomorrow. DIG FOLK KXCIRSIOXS. Sunday, Oct. 2Sth. $1.25 Cincinnati and return.
