Wilkesbarre. Ps.. August X—Tbe eraployes of five big colliertes in the anthracite region have gone on strike. The main grievance is alleged excessive dockage. It is estimated that nearly 2.500 men are idle. At the Namlcoke colliery of the Susquehanna Coal Company 1,000 have quit work, and at the Keystone, at Mill Creek, MO are out. The latter have several grievances. At the Babylon mine, at Duryea, 600 men are on strike for an increase in wages, aod the same number quit work yesterday at the Exeter shaft, at West Plttston. STILL DELIBERATING.

Mine Workers’ Committee Works Behind Closed Doors. The executive committee of the United Mine-Workers continued Its deliberations behind closed doors to-day. The morning was spent in discussing ways and mean# of broadening the membership of the unions throughout the mining districts. While the national body has nearly 80,000 members, many more than this number do rot belong to it. How to gather them In is one of the chief questions. It was decided that additional organisers should be sent Into the districts to push the work of organising. The national body had no official Information that 2,600 coal miners In Pennsylvania had gone on strike. Committeeman McKay, the union organiser In the Pennsylvania regions, aald the strike did not surprise him, but that he rather expected It. He said the miners and operators had had differences, but a conference was held some time ago. when the affairs were settled. It was agreed that every miner was to be reinstated except two. After the men went to work again the company at one of the mines took off the work-train, which carried 100 men to and from work, and the taking off of the train made it necessary for them to walk three or four mllea. Some of the leading minera were afterward discharged, and, Mr. McKay says, these affairs brought on the strike to-day. BACKBONE OF STRIKE BROKEN. Pa kite Seatlaseat Divided Slaee Ike iaaayslde Skootlav Episode (tpselal to The Indianapolis News.] Evansville. Ind., August X-In an Interview with The News correspondent. Capt. John Ingle says that ‘he does not believe the coat miners’ strike will end before fall, it then, and he asserts that the operators propose to run their mines, even If it takes the entire militia company to do so. "The reason 1 ordered the deputy sheriffs away from my mine, * said he, “was because they are In sympathy with the strikers and are doing me no goqd. They permit small boys to gather at th# mines, and my men are Incited to violence. The officers have been with Mr. Dilcher all , through this thing, and I do not propose to have union sympathisers guarding my mine." Captsln Ingle has begun the erection of several buildings at his mine, and ho will quarter his men therein under piard. The general opinion la that the backbone of the strike is broken, and that the operators will continue to run their mines with non-union men uptil the union diggers are willing to accept a compromise. Public sentiment Is divided in the nuttier of the strike. Before the shooting at the Sunnyside mine last June It can be truthfully said that public sympathy rested with the strikers, but It has undergone a decided change since then. The situation at the Blackburn mines In Pike county is serious. S. W. Little, of this city, who owns the mines, has appealed to Sheriff Ridgeway, of Pike county, for protection. He Is determined to operate his mine with non-unionists, and the union men persist in saying that this will not be permitted. The two men who were assaulted at the mine are out of danger. although still under treatment m a hospital at Petersburg.

He Pulls from a Third Floor Window at the Hotel Lahr.

[Special to The Indianapolis News ] Lafayette, Ind., August 2.—James H. Turpie fell from a third-floor window at the Lahr House, at 1:30 this morning, and he died in the hospital two hours later. He entered the hotel about 11 o'clock last night, and he registered and was assigned to a room. His body was entirely nude at time of his fall. Investigation disclosed a light still burning in his room, and the bed showing signs of occupancy. In his fall Mr. Turpie narrowly escaped striking a messenger boy, who was passing along the sidewalk. Several years ago Mr. Turpie removed to this city from Monon, and he owned a handsome home on Twanty-flrst street. He was interested largely In real estate, and he was the owner of numerous properties. Mr. Turpie was not related to Senator Turpie, although popularly supposed to be near kin. He hod Just returned from Lcgansport. where he had been engaged in a trial concerning some lands In Nebraska. He appeared in good spirits when ho registered. and as a window screen was carried out at the time he fell, It is supposed that he left bis bed because of the excessive heat, and sat down in the window, vbere he lost his balance while asleep and fell outward. He had left his gas Jet burning. Mr. Turpie’s family, embracing his wife and seven children, arc now residing on a ranch in Nebraska, for which he traded some time ago. They have been notified of his fate. Those best acquaint'd with the man and his affairs give no credence to the rumors of suicide set afloat, but attribute his death entirely to accidental causes. Involved la Costly Litigation. [Special to The Indianapolis Newt.] Logansport, Ind., August X—There is much speculation in regard to the probable effect the tragic death of James H. Turpie, at Lafayette, this morning, will have on the celebrated Turpie-Lowe litigation. extending over a period of about fourteen years. In December, 1886, James H. Turpie transferred all his real estate in Ohio and Indiana to Hugh Lowe, of White county, In consideration of Lowe’s agreement to pay Turpie’s debts. The property transferred represented a value of $75,000. Shortly after the consummation of the deal Turpie began suit demanding damages and a re-cnnveyance of a part of the land. The first trial gave him a verdict of $8,000, and a rehearing resulted In a verdict of $52,000 for Turpie. On appeal to the Supreme Court, the defendants obtained a sweeping reversal, and a few weeks ago the plaintiff’s attorneys began proceedings In the Cass Circuit Court, making up Issues In support of a motion for a new trial. Lowe Is a very wealthy man and Turpie was impoverished by the long suit. His heirs may continue the action, but it is not likely. Prominent attorneys in the case were ex-Senator Winfield, the late Judge Lyman Walker. Judge Hammond of Lafayette. Judge Thompson of Rensselaer. Judge D. D. Dykeman, McConnell A Jenkins, D. C. Justice. Guthrie A Bushnell of Momlesllo, and R. P.-Davld-son of Lafayette. The Hon. John Sendder. (Bp^clol to The Indianapolis News.] Washington. Ind.. August S.—The Hon. John Bcudder died last evening while visiting his daughter In Gibson county. He was eighty-seven years old, and a resident of this county since 1819. He was a member of the constitutional convention of 1852. Mr. Scudder was a type of the early pioneer of Indiana, and noted foe his rugged honesty. William McMnrphy. [Special to The Indiana poll* News] Osgood, Ind., August 3.—William McMurpby, a highly-respected cltisen of this place, died to-day. He once served in the United States navy and cruised for three years in the Pacific, touching at all principal points. Mr. McMurphy was eighty years old. David C. Jaccard. 8t. Louis. Mo., August 3.—David CJaccard, vice-president of the MermodJaccard Jewelry Company, of this city, and president of the Jaccard Jewelry Company, of Kansas City, died this morning.

Street car service was maintained last night oq the Union-street line,which passes through one of the most turbulent sections of the city, without trouble. The military force Is being rapidly withdrawn, and by the close of the present week the last company of Midlers will probably be ordered home. Thera was a decided Increase In the number of passengers carried on some of the Big Consolidated cars this morning. Many well-informed persons, who have watched the progress of the boycott closely. believe the movement has reached its limit and Is now on the wane. At the strikers’ headquarters to-day It was announced that fifty of the non-union motormen and conductors running on the Wilson. Central and Scovll-avenoe lines had quit work because the Big Consolidated had broken its agreement with them. It is said $2 a day and board were promised inejn until the strike was over. The company posted a notice to-day at the Wiison-avenue barns, stating that, as the strike Was practically ended, the men must pay their own board. The pHtr. however, deny that the strike 1* over, and, as a result, according to the strike leaders, a number of the new men refused to take out their runs, ami are now engaged In trying to Induce other, aon-imlon men to quit. The Big Consolidated officials deny the men have stopped work.

San Francisco. August 3.—The Tenth Pennsylvania Volunteers landed from the transport Senator to-day, and. escorted by the Nebraska troops, marched to the Presidio, where they will camp until they are mustered out. The reception accorded the soldiers from the Keystone State was similar to that given the Oregon, Nebraska and Utah boys. Thousands upon thousands of people lined the streets through which the men passed, and the usual medley of steam whistles, cannon and fireworks accompanied them all through the business section of the city. Three heavy batteries, one light battery and the regimental band of the Third Artillery came first In the parade, followed by the Nebraska regiment, and then came the Pennsylvanians, led by Lieutenant-Colonel Barnett Colonel Barnett's swbrd. draped in crepe, oht of respect to the memory of Colonel Hawkins, commander of tne regiment. who died at sea en route home, caused a hush to fall on the multitudes. The Pennsylvanians presented even a better appearance from a health standpoint than did the Nebraska boys and those from Utah, but they ascribe this to the tonio effects of the sea air on the voyage and to the fact that they were off the fighting line some time before departure from the islands. The battleflag of the Pennsylvanians, torn, shot-riddled and almost a wreck of Its former beauty, excited general interest. As soon as the color-bearer came Into sight, a cheer, mightier. If possible, than any which had been given the boys, rang out from the throngs. The ambulances of the Pennsylvanians brought up the rear of the regiment, bearing the sick and wounded. Following the Pennsylvanians came Battery C, of the Third Artillery, from the Presidio. , The parade was reviewed by General Shafler. and In the revlewlng-stand with him was the committee of Pennsylvanian* who had come to extend a welcome to their returned heroes. As the troops passed the revlewlng-stand they could ndt suppress a cheer, and it was returned by those in the stand. On arriving at the Presidio, the work of going into camp was taken up with a vim. and early in the afterncoo the boys were comfortably quartered.

Carlos Garcia Charges Gen. Ludlow with Following Spanish Methods. New York. August X—A special to the Times from Washington says: Gen.Carlos Garcia said to-day that he considered the suppression of the Havana Reconcentrado to be a serious mistake. "It was the Spanish custom," he said, “to arrest editors and suppress their papers for daring to criticise Spanish methods, and it would seem, from Gen. Ludlow’s action, that he is pursuing the Spanish policy, which has been Justly denounced in the United States. Besides, this act on the part of the military authorities vrill be construed by many Cubans to mean that the civil authorities are mere figureheads, and will no doubt produce bad feeling. The civil laws in Cuba are ample to punish people who commit libel. I admit I do not know all the facts, but I do know that to be consistent, General Ludlow will have to suppress other Cuban papers that have criticised General Brooke's appointees. I know General Ludlow, and admire him, and I take it that he has been Imposed upon. What would the people of the United States say If the authorities should suppress a newspaper for abusing, justly or unjustly, the administration? There can be no Independence or personal liberty without free speech and a free press.” The McClellan Arrives at New York. New York.

The Assassination of Heureanx Not Intended by Revolutionists.

Kingston, Jamlaca, August 3.—Owing to the efforts of the government of Santo Domingo to suppress news and information about the recent assassination of President Heureaux and the reported revolution in Santo Domingo, the facts in the case are difficult to obtain. But a dispatch received by a messenger who has passed through Haiti indicates, that the assassination of Heureaux was' not olnl the program, the purpose of the revolutionists being to capture Moca with the president, thus decapitating the Dominican government at the first blow. The Insurgents did not possess the means to prosecute a protracted conflict. The premature departure of President Heureaux threatened to frustrate this scheme, whereupon an enthusiast, who was watching the president’s movements, committed the act. A subsequent attack on Moca being repulsed. the insurgents withdrew into the fastnesses between Moca and Porta Plata, hoping to secure sufficient accessions of men and arms to attack Porto Plata and prosecute the movement in spite of its initial failure. Commenting on the London cablegram relative to possible American Intervention in Santo Domingo, a newspaper to-day says it anticipates the “finding of an excuse to add the Island of Haiti to the string of Antillian gems of America’’ and invokes the powers to "curb America’s

ambition.”
