Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ANDERSON. Ind., Nov. 3.-The visit of President Shaffer to Ande- on has given new impetus to the organized labor movement and the union Is more compact than ever. Shaffer made a speech to the men at the conference last night, and, while he admitted the great strike has cost the movement much in the East, he was full of hops for the future and believed that organized labor there would surely recover from the effect of the losing battle. One of the principal things discussed at the meeting was the establishing of co-operative stores. Three months ago a store of this character was started in Elwood, and from the first it has been declared an unqualified success. The announcement is made that three more stores will be established In this district. One of the stores will be located in Anderson and probably one in Peru. President Shaffer fuvors the proposed public mass meeting in Muncie Dec. 1, and the entire Fifth district will assemble there on that date in an open meeting. To friends President Shaffer repeated his declaration to retire at the close of his term of office on account of ill health.

Evidence of a Prehistoric Race. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. HAGERSTOWN, Ind., Nov. 3. Workmen in the gravel pit north of town continue to find remains of a prehistoric race. The latest discovery is that of a vault formed of large bowlders, which had evidently been laid in a sort of mortar or cement. This vault contained the remains of a person who probably had been of importance. There were yards of stone and bone heads and many arrow heads and flints. Remains of utensils were found, but they were so fragile they fell apart when handled. The gravel pit was opened in the side of a beautiful knoll, from the top of which the broad valley of the West river ican be seen. There are five other mounds' in the near vicinity, but whether they are Indian remains or formed by nature cannot be determined.

No divorces "by agreement" will go. There must be a court trial, and the defendant will be attached as a witness. "The threedollar lawyers are to blame for the easy divorce abomination," declared the Judge. "I wish the attorney fee In divorce cases was $lu0. fixed by law, and that acceptance of a less sum would be made grounds for disbarment."

John E. Redmond Tell of His Object in Malting the United States. NEW YORK, Nov. 3. Irish-Americans, to the number of 3,000 or 4,000 from this city and vicinity, gathered to-night at a reception given at Carnegie Hall in honor of John E. Redmond, leader of the Irish Nationalist party in the British Parliament. The reception was given under the auspices of the Amalgamated Irish Societies In New York, the Irish Nationalist Club and the New York Irish League. Mr. Redmond was accompanied by Patrick McHugh and Thomas O'Donnell, his fellowdelegates from the National League. William McAdoo, former assistant secretary of the navy, was chairman of the evening, and introduced Mr. Redmond, who said in part: "My object in coming here is, in the first place, to proclaim the unity of .the Irish people at home; secondly, to explain the policy which these people at home have unanimously adopted, and finally to say to the Irish race In America that if they approve of that policy they ought to support It, but that whether they support it or not whether the Irish people at home are left in this crisis of their country's history to carry on this struggle against England without the aid of their brethren throughout the world or not. we at home are disciplined enough and strong enough and earnest enough to carry on this movement ourselves, and at any cost we shall do so." Mr. Redmond said that the policy of the United Irish League movement was to ad-

j vance the national cause of Irishmen by

making the government of Ireland by England,' in every department, both in Parliament and out of Parliament, difficult and dangerous and finally impossible. He said it was proposed to accomplish this by means of the United Irish League organization, the lineal successor of the Land League. Mr. McIIugh and Mr. O'Donnell followed Mr. Redmond In speaking, and resolutions were adopted indorsing the policy of the league and pledging the support of the meeting to Its policy.

PITTSBURG. Nov. 3. Al Arnold, the veteran oil well driller, with headquarters generally throughout the oil regions, and particularly at Mars, In Butler county, will hereafter hsul his load of nitroglycerin to the scene of operations in an automobile. He has Just had constructed an automobile which very closely resembles the conventional machine save that it 13 larger and has more rear or behind-the-seat room. It is a well-equipped machine, with steam as motive power, and Is constructed of the best materials. The cost was in the neighborhood of $1,500. The automobile, the first to be built for the purpose named, will carry ISO quarts of nitroglycerin. The running gear was purchased in St. Louis, and the boiler and engine came from Trenton, N. J. The woodwork is the product of an establishment in Mars. The automobile was fitted together at the office of a Fittsburg automobile company, and the machine was given a satisfactory trial run from this city to Mars. It is so constructed that it may be used for either business or pleasure. When Mr. Arnold is not carrying the explosive, the drippings from an empty can of which would suffice to hurl driver, auto and all Into kingdom come, he will haul his friends about the hill lands of Butler. He Is even contemplating pleasure jaunts which will take him very close to the country where rolls the Oregon. Every time an oil well man starts out with a load of nitroglycerin he actually takes his life in Iiis hands. It is a virtual invitation to death. There Is only one accidentthe first. The man who meets with one collision with nitroglycerin never lives to tell how It happened. Friends who hear the report of an explosion gather as much of the fragments as can be collected, and if the victim is a married man a visit of condolence is paid to his widow. A hole in the ground is too often the only visible evidence that something has happened with a tragical sequence. It was the extremely dangerous character of his calling and the idea that this danger might be lessened somewhat by conveying the explosive in a carriage which offered smaller opportunities for deathdealing jolts and Jars on the highways that led Mr. Arnold to evolve his nitroautomoblle, as he calls It. The pneumatic tires of the carriage are expected to reduce the danger below that of the ordinary wagon, which, lumbeiing along, is likely to meet with some mishap possible to avoid with the new machine. At least that Is the view taken by Mr. Arnold. He appreciates the fact that it is impossible to make the hauling of the explosive a harmless matter, but he thinks he will find fewer shivers chafing up and down his back when hauling the stuff in his auto. Mr. Arnold Is perhaps the oldest oil well shooter now In the business, both in years and experience. He is post sixty years of age, and for a score or more years has followed this vocation. And veteran though he is, he never takes out a load of nitroglycerin without feeling qualmish. Nitroglycerin is a mixture of acids and glycerin. It is of the color and consistency of lard oil, and is put up in quart cans. The cost is about $1 a quart. A few drops of the liquid will suffice to blow a man into eternity. And when an explosion occurs it means simply annihilation for the victim. Nothing can withstand the awful force of the explosive. Oil-well shooters a'gree that mystery surrounds every explosion on record. No one lives to tell how it happened. It is only from surroundings that a guess as to cause can be made. No two disasters apparently proceed from similar contributing agencies. Mr. Arnold has been hurriedly called to the scene of many explosions in the course of his career, but with all his large experience he is unable to satisfy himself as to the actual cause of a single instance. And he says that he has never known of a case of carelessness productive of disaster. People who deal with the explosive never grow careless, he says.- Familiarity in this business does not breed contempt for danger. But accidents do occur. And when they do the victim and the explanation are extinguished together. That is why Mr. Arnold when asked by the Leader man if he had ever been in an accident laconically replied: "Man meets with only one accident in my business and he never tarries thereafter to be interviewed."

FIRED INTO A CROWD.

Two Men Killed and Two Wonnded by n Negro at a Political Meeting. ROANOKE, Va., Nov. 3. Meager details were received here to-day from the little town of Ferrum, Va., about thirty miles from Roanoke, on tne Roanoke & Southern Railroad, of a tragedy at that place last night. A negro named William Hale took exception to some remarks made by a white man at a political meeting, and, leaving the hall, went to his home, where he armed himself with a double-barreled shotgun, loaded with buckshot, returned to the place where the speaking was being held, ana fired both barrels into the crowd. A white man named Robinett, who was the village blacksmith, was killed instantly, and John Thomas (colored) received wounds from which he died shortly afterward. Two other men, both white, but names thus far not learned, were seriously and probably fatally wounded. Hale made his escape, and thus far has not been captured, though the country is being scoured for miles around by indignant citizens. Bloodhounds were sent to the scene this morning. There are no trains on the Roanoke & Southern road on Sunday, and the telegraph office is closed. Hale is said to be a desperate character.

Pastoral Letter to Cubans, In Which He l'ralaes the United State. HAVANA, Nov. 3. Mgr. Donato Sbarrettl, whom the Popo has appointed apostolic delegate extraordinary to the Philippines, has issued a farewell pastoral letter to the diocese of Havana, in the course of which he says: "Some thought, when the church and state became separate, that the church had lost her personality, tut the church is a society which is perfect and Independent of the sovereign. On arriving here I found that religious marriages were not recognized as legal. In my efforts to secure their legality I met with some opposition, but I received assistance in a quarter where I had least expected to find it. The intervening government, inspired by the principles of Justice, truth and liberty, issued a decree recognizing their validity." The retiring bishop advises the founding of religious schools for children and the continuation of the Saturday schools now managed by the Cuban ladies. Beferring to the return by the state to the chuich of the. property belonging to the latter. Mgr. Hbarretti says: "This act will glorify before nil nations the government which, from a disintt rested standpoint, has so de creed." The cigar makers of Havana have petitioned the government to eipel from Havana the agents of tho Tampa Resistencia, who have been trying to persuade workmen to go to Tampa.
