There Is Little Doubt That the Three Thousand Operators In That City Will Strike on Sunday or Monday.

MEN STILL WORKING IN OFFICES AT CINCINNATI. Samuel Gompers, President of American Federation of Labor, Hopeful Companies Will Do the Right Thing. New York, Aug. 10. From expressions of opinion by officials of tho Western Union and Postal companies and from utterances of members of the Commercial Telegraphers' union it seems certain that 3,000 operators in this city will strike tomorrow or Monday. The great strike threatened even tonight to sweep into New York. Percy Thomas, past grand president of the union, was placed in charge of the contest here tonight. Tomorrow a meeting of local union No. 1C will be held at Manhattan Lyceum and it Is probable the question to strike or not to strike will be settled then. Are Still at Work. Cincinnati, O., Aug. 10. Cincinnati operators are still at work but may receive orders before morning to walk out. View of Gompers. St. Louis, Aug. 10. Samuel Gomp ers, president of the American Fed eration of labor, departed this afternoon for Hannibal, Mo., where he lectured tonight. He said his visit here had nothing to do with the telegraphers' strike. "I am taking no part in the strike just now," said Mr. Gompers. "Officials of the telegraphers' organization are handling the situation. All I wish to say now is that I hope the telegraph companies will do something to effect an honorable settlement." Chicago Is Battleground. Chicago, August 10 The fight between the Postal and Western Union telegraph companies and their operators is to be fought out in Chicago. It has been practically determined by the operators and the companies that this will be the battle ground, and the result here will largely settle the result of the strike in other parts of the country. The situation today was not materially changed from that of last night. The operators of the brokers and commission houses were at work during the day, and it was understood that whether or not they are to remain at work will be settled at a meeting to be held tonight or tomorrow. No spread of the strike is expected in this city before Sunday at the ear liest, and it is not certain that it will come before Monday. One Hundred Men at Work. The Western Union claimed today to have one hundred men at work. and they certainly had that many men in their operating room. They assert ed they will be able to master the sit uption within a few days. The Postal had less men at work than the West ern Union, and was not in as good shape as the other company. Neither of them was handling business, howev er, with even an approach to ordinary speed. The ticker service of the Western Union was today in a crippled condi tion and Its service was of little val ne to brakers. The market quota ions were carried as yesterday over the leased wires of the commission houses. Meetings of the men will be held tomorrow at which the spread of the strike will be considered. Strike-Breakers Imported. That a finish fight between the telegraphers and the companies is on was shown today when the Western union Telegraph Company imported Its first load of strikebreakers to man the -irl kpvs. There were thirty of them picked up in New York. They arrived this morning on the Twentieth Century Limited train of the Lake Shore railroad. The arrangements for the housing '' pnd feeding of the men has been kept a secret, but it is believed that they will be kept on the plant of the company to prevent the possibility of their meeting with any violence at the hands of strike sympathizers. The union men in the streets when the strike-breakers arrived said they would feel no alarm, that the operators were not good ones and that even if they were importing them into Chicago, they could not do the companies much good when the men are striking elsewhere over the country. AGED MAN IN POOR HEALTH. David Smith, Ninety, Cannot Live Much Longer. David Smith, probably the oldest citizen In and around Hagerstown. no past f years, and who has been in failing health for many months, is now growing rapidly weaker, at his home and his demise is thought to be not far off. He realizes his condition, and has given directions for his funergU and burial.

TRACK IS IN READINESS.

The new foundry at the Hoosier Drill works is entirely complete and is pfobably the finest equipped metal working room in Eastern Indiana, if not the entire state. The track bearing the distributing ladle from the cupalo to the smaller ladles on the working floors was completed Saturday. The metal workers will now have the metal distributed on their working floors. Generally in foundries the moulders have to secure their metal from the cupalo, carrying it to the point where it is worked. BUYS SOME OLD RELICS Rev. R. J. Wade Purchases While in Fountain City. Rev. R. J. Wade of the First M. E. church of this city who preached at the M. E. church in Fountain City recently made the purchase of a pair of "dog iron3" and a "crane" taken from a fire place in the old Levi Corfin home. Mr. Wade is particularly proud of hi3 antique relics. Owing to the interesting role the Levi Coffin home played in underground railway history the dog irons and crane will be the more interesting in time to come. STOCK SPECULATORS Trust Magnates Also Share in Unrest Due to Another Stock Slump. OIL SHRINKAGE IS GREAT. COMPUTED ON THE TOTAL' CAPITAL STOCK IT IS PLACED AT $300,000,000 NEW YORK CENTRAL OFF. New York, Aug. lO. There was an other disorderly break in prices of stocks with the beginning of trading at the stock exchange, which carried some stocks down to lower prices than were touched during the week. Spec ulative sentiment took. fresh alarm at the tone of a statement by AttorneyGeneral Bonaparte, after his interview with the president yesterday, in which the aggressive determination of the administration to push the pursuit of corporations along various lines was asserted. Holders of securities threw them on the market in large blocks. The market made a temporary stand against the pressure, but after small rallies plunged downward again. Big Slumps in Prices. New York Central sold today at 1XP2, the lowest point since 18IKS. No effective support appeared and the lowest prices were touched near the close. Many rumors circulated of money trouble in London or at Berlin, and of a determination by the trust magnates to withdraw support and let the market take care of itself. Union Pacific was the weakest of the active stocks and fell at one time points. American Smelting went down 4Vs: Reading.

ALARM 0 AMONG

Takes Occasion to Say What He Thinks of the Former Pastor of Grace Methodist Church, Richmond.

THINKS HE IS BLIND OR ELSE IS WILLFUL Attack on the GuggenheimEvans Political Machine, Which Has Colorado by the Throat, Point at Issue. Judge Ben B. Lindsey of the Denver Juvenile court, who is to appear at the Richmond Chautauqua and who thinks Colorado is the worst governed state in the union on account of its grafters and corruption of men and politics by large corporations, was in Chicago on his way to Findlay, O. He took occasion to say again what j ne thought of Gov. Ilenry A. Buchtel 0f Colorado, formerly of Richmond, who had expressed hi3 opinion 01 Judge Lindsey in a public interview his opinion ! after a previous interview by the "fighting judge." As the debate pro ceeds it becomes warmer. Judge Lindsey attacks "the system' in a Tom Lawsonian way and inciden tally takes a fall out of Chancellor Dav for his attacks on President Roosevelt. Men like Day and Buchtel he says, are the demagogues of the lawless rich and more dangerous to real democracy than Debs or Emma Goldman. Thinks Buchtel Blind or Willfui "I have just seen Gov. Buchtel's in terview concerning my attack on the Guggenheim-Evans political system that has Colorado practically by the throat. Much of it is personal abuse of myself," said the juvenile judge, as soon as he reached town. "I did not seek the Interview referred to nor in it mention the governor. The trial of officers of the Western Federation of Miners at Boise has made Colorado politics a subject of discussion, and when asked about It I told the truth. I have been in politics there for ten years, fighting as best I could, grafters, ballot box stuffers, and the system behind it, while Buchtel has been in the church and university, where he knows little of It. "Though I wrote Gov. Buchtel a letter denouncing the Guggenheim-Evans steal he was meek enough about it in Colorado, for he never, so far as I ever heard, referred to Guggenheim in his campaign or dared' to defend Guggenheim's corrupt purchase of the senate. Buchtel is either innocently wound up In the coils of the dollar and blind to the real facts in our politics or willfully giving out falsehoods about it. Influenced by Criminal Wealth. "Chancellor Buchtel is one of those good men, but weak men, who has tried constantly to get money from Rockefeller for the university. Within two months he had received from Boss Evans and Simon Guggenheim and other beneficiaries of the system thousands of dollars for the univer sity. Of course he expects more help from these sources. I do not object to this, if it does not close one's eyes to facts and his mouth to the truth, as it seems to do in cases like those of Chancellor Day and Chancellor Buchtel. They both defend the system of politics created by criminal wealth as they do when they defend the Rockefellers, Guggenheims and Evans.

It was believed by the family that money was hidden or disnosed of by their father without their knowledge, and that he had died nHttimit imnartiTiir his Rprrt to anv one. He was an expert worker in wood and when young Jacob Moore was looking about the old shop, he saw a carefully mortised joint in the ceil ing timber where there was no occa sion for it. An investigation revealed a perfectly fitting block of wood dove tailed into tne ceiling irame, am so adjusted that it could be removed with care and replaced intact. wnen tne piece of wood was removed the young man discovered a pile of closely wrapped coins. Upon examination he found that there was ?.,rx in twentydollar gold "pieces, all carefully count ed and arranged . in thousand-dollar cylinders. With the extreme care and nice workmanship always used by his fath er, young Moore found that the place had been hollowed out of a solid beam without marring or defacing any of the surface except the small opening which had been so perfectly closed with the dovetailed block.

John P. Brown, Eminent Authority on Forestry, Gives Warning That a Famine in Timber Is in Prospect, IT CAN BE AVOIDED BY EXTENSIVE PLANTING.

Address Was the Feature of The August Meeting of the Horticultural Society, Held On Saturday Whatever conduces to the happN ness of ifcefamily; whatever relieve the farmer of a portion of his labors;; whatever tends to Increase his wealth, and especially anything. which conduces to National prosperity and tho well being of the human" race should, be given due consideration by all thoughtful Americans. A I wish to present for your deliberations a matter which affects all these Interests, and more, ; U10 very, life of the nation. The world today faces a condition which threatens to cripple4 and perhaps exterminate many of the industrial and commercial Interests on account of the scarcity of wood. European scholars have recently stated that the only remaining soure of supply for timber was Canada and, the United States, while the department of agriculture has depicted tho condition as very grave from th3 excessive clearings which have been and. still are being carried on. Seven years ago I published tn estimate of the area of forest and quantity of timber then existing, which I showed to bo less than one third the quantity supiKscd to exist, and time has proven the correctness of those conclusions. The great bodies of land on which, there are yet forests, are owned by speculating lumbermen and are being rapidly cleared. The forest reserves of the government, large In aggregate acreage, nra infinitismal when compared with th country's extent and requlrementB for wood. There is but one way to avoid a timber famine within tho next twenty years or even less, and that Is for th farmers of America to begin the ex tensive planting of forests at once. Before Horticultural Society. The above Is'part of the address de livered by John P. Hrown, of Connersviile, Ind., editor of "Arboriculture,' which is published In the interest, of the International society of Arbori culture, and who is a high authority on forestry and Mr. Drown addressed the August sessions of the Wayne County Agricultural and Horticulturalsociety, held at the suburban home of Nathan F. Garwood, one and a half miles east of this city. Many went on the street carB, while others drove to the meeting in carriages. At noon, about fifty partook of one of the society's picnic dinners, on large tables prepared for the occasion. when everyone enjoyed to the fullest extent the abundance of good things.
