Strik Can Only He heltled ly the 3lea Returning to "Work. IMTTSIIURG. Aus?. 2.-The Steel Cor-, joration continued making- galn3 in thirt district and to-day added enough men to its force at the Star plant to insure the working of two mills double turn night and day from now on. The management claims that the entire plant will be working full before the week ends. The strikers fciy this claim cannot be made good. The American Tin Plate Company to-day commenced advertising for nonunion men. All applicants aru offered the highest wages and permanent jobs, but in every case the application must be made personally and the applicant declare himself free from all union control. The company has not as yet made the attempt to start ither lis Monongahela. or Demmler plants, but announces that Loth will be started soon. When aked to-day what he thought of the tin plate company's avowed intention of breaking away from the union entirely," President Shaffer, oi' the Amalgamated Association, said: "Where will they get men to run their plant? If we thought the men could be secured, the threat minht frighten us. Until we are assured that they are forthcoming we will keep our nerve." The latest official declaration from steel fcources is that the strike can now be bettied only by the men going back to the mills. The position the officials take. It Is ald. is that the strlko is over ko far as xhtir dealing with the strikers as a body is concerned. They want workmen for their Idle mills, and men who want work can have it for the asking at wages paid before the shut-down. T.ity mny be union men or not. but the union can have no say as to their work or wages. Mr. Shaffer declared to-night that the Ftrike is proceeding satisfactorily and his association is making Puch serious Inroads on the corporation s business that it will be compiled sooner or later to come to term, ills men, he says, are firm all along the line and are determined to stand for their rights. The steel people have nothing to say. but point to the mills at work and the product turned out. Aside from the increasec foree put to work at tho Star plant of the tin company to-day the strike situation Is practically unchanged. At MrKeesport this afternoon a strike benefit ball game was played. More than 1.200 strikers were In attendance, ami Mayor.

Many rumors on strike matters arc rife In Pittsbutg to-nlKht. the most significant being cm to the effect that the. dissatisfaction among the tube workers of the Pennsylvania 'lube Company is spreading, and that at a meeting held by the men four hundred of them declared their intention of returning to work to-morrow morning. Organizers of the American Federation, it 1 said, circulated among the strikers ami told them that before the week was ended there would be an addition to their numbers of between 14.U) and 1S.) new strikers, which would cripple the 'combine" more seriously than ever. Neither of these reports can be verified tn-nlght. Advices from Irondnle. .. to-nisht say: "Irondale Is as quiet to-night as any country village in Ohio.

Special to tho Indianapolis Journal. TI:HHF: HAUT, Ind., Aug. The publication in newspapers in counties over the State line in Illinois of an opinion recently given by Attorney General Taylor, of Indiana, that tho law requiring that the woman shall have been a resident of a county in which a marriage license i.s Issued not less than thirty days, has caused consternation in many communities in tho neighbor State. Many Illinois couples have been married in Tcrre Haute who obtained licenses in disregard of the law and innocent of the fact that the courts have held such marriages to be hgal, although subjecting the violators of the law to prosecution. They have Jumped to the conclusion that they are not lawfully wedded. Many of the marriages have been of eloping couples, but the large majority was country swains and their sweethearts who made of the trip over the line to Terre Haute their honeymoon as well as the occasion of their marriage. It is thought that not less than 100 Illinois couples each year, for many years have been married in Terre Haute. On the other hand Terre 'Haute couples go into Illinois to be married and the law of that State being-lax as to miscegenation, the marriages of negroes and whites of this city have taken place in Illinois. One Illinois 'wife is so perturbed that she has written to County Clerk Watson to ask if she is a lawful wife. She is Mrs. Italph Spencer, of Ridge Farm. She says she and Mr. Spencer eloped to" Terre Haute in. .May, Va). There was objection to her marriage because she was only sixteen years of age. Her husband's brother, James Spencer, made affidavit that she was over nineteen years old. They were married by Justice of the Peace Newberger and tho records show that they made other statements that were not true. Clerk AVfftson has replied to Mrs. Spencer's letter, saying that her marriage is legal, but that a charge of perjury could be sustained against those who made false statements under oath.

Trial of Two Men Who A mmii tilled a Totvimhip Trutttee. Hpoclal to the Indianapolis Journal. WABASH, Ind., Aug. 28. The trial of James Watson and Roy Pontlous, who are charged with-assault on Frank Ireland, trustee of Pleasant township, this county, began this afternoon before Justice Davis at Rochester. Ireland claimed he. was lured to a house just over the Fulton county line on Aug. 16, and was set upon by two men with clubs. He was beaten into insensibility, but managed later to walk to tho home of Tobias Gushard, in this county, who took him home. No explanation of tho mysterious attack was made until a few lays ago, when Watson and Pontlous were arrested. The defendants do not deny they assaulted Ireland, but claim that they did not intend to kill him, nor was he so badly injured as represented. They assert that Ireland was paying too much attention to Watson's wife, and that there had been a great deal of scandalous talk and they determined to stop It. A letter was sent to Ireland asking him to come to the "Watson home on the night In question, when Watson was supposed to be at lodge. Watson lay In wait, and when Ireland appeared Watson and Pontlous, the latter Mrs. Watson's brother, beat him. Ireland this afternoon brought, suit for $2.177 against Harvey H. Shipley, whom he succeeded as trustee of Pleasant township. The complaint, filed In the Wabash Circuit Court, alleges that when Ireland took the office, Shipley was Indebted to the township In the sum named: that he had made demand for the money, and that Shipley, contending that nothing was due from him to the township, refused payment. Shipley avers that he does not owe the township a cent, and that the apparent discrepancy 1? a bookkeeping error. - , . HEATHS IX INDIANA.

The case against John W. Brown, of Garrett, Ind., who was charged with complicity ,ln the recent Baltimore & Ohio hold-up at Miller's, Station, Ind., was dismissed yesterday morning,, when the preliminary was held before Judge William Rosa, here. The. State was unabla to bring two of Its leading witnesses into court, and as one,, a woman, was at the point of death, the State asked that, the case be taken off th docket. Brown then announced that he would sue the road for arrest and imprisonment under false pretenses. "Your honor, the representatives of the Baltimore t Ohio are unable to bring into court the witnesses absolutely necessary to their case," said Prosecuting Attorney Otto J. Bruce, "and while confident that under different conditions, with its witnesses able to appear, it could prove its case, we are forced to ask that the case be- dismissed." . With a wave of his hand Judge Ross ordered th caso dismissed, and Brown, springing To his feet, rushed over to James W. Ryan, a special agent of the railroad, upon whose comalaint he was arrested. "This was a dirty, contemptible trick." he said. "You ought to be ashamed of yourßelf." "Not a bit; a woman too sick to move is all that la saving you Iroru the hearing," came tha reply. "It hi an outrage to take a man like Brown from his family and coop him up in a den unfit even for cattle," said his attorney, F. W. Morwitz, of Garrett, Ind., "and we will make the railroad smart for the act. Suit will be commenced at once, and we will push it until we get a verdict." Brown was ready to prove an alibi. Dan Van Vleet would have sworn that he met Brown In Auburn. Ind., at 7:3o o'clock, or an hour before the time of the hold-up, and twelve miles away. A doctor named Nusbaum was to swear that Brown was in his offlce at 8 o'clock. Charles Meyers was to testify that he met Brown at 8:30 on his way to the Auburn depot to go home. Brown's wif would have sworn he was home at 9:15. Special Agent Ryan says the case has not been d-opped, and that two other men living In the same vicinity are under surveillance.
