It's Not Lanx's First Offense, as He Is An Ex-Convict—Bargeman Weakens and Tells the Whole Story.

George Laux anid Ed Bargeman were arrested by Detectives McRae and Dwyer and Patrolman.

After the arrest Berigenvan, who 'is not yet of age, coaafessed, and it ie thought there will he but aiiibtae trouble iin securing a conviict'ion when the case comes up for trial.

This is not Laux's first titme to figure in the courts, ate he was amnestied a few weeks ago for obtaining gootds under false pretenses, having received and receipted for some household goods shipped from Illinois to this ciity, ooosiigned to a main of a similar name. There were certaiin circumstances connected wiitih this case which prevented prosecution and Laux escalped wi'th a reprimand.

STIRRING UP A ROW.

EFFORTS TO CREATE STRIFE OVER PROPOSED RUNNING MEETING.

Members of the T. P. A. Indignantly Deny That They Are Seeking to Interfere With Running Meeting. .i&ft

For a score of years post Terre Haute ina« rejoiced in ithe fame brought to the town by atb successful trotting meetings. It is certain that no other one thing has so widely advertised the place or in so many different ways

benefited tt.*irS£ ./ It was natural that in this long period diifereruces should have arisen feus to the race management. These differences were of a trivia! naturae amd urDti'l recently few people could ibe foun'd who were willing to sacrifice the? intferetst of the city for the sake of stirring up a row.. Even now these people who delofeht iin finding mares' nests and, for the slake otf a brief sensation, seem twilling to jeopardize .the city's interest, may finld their efforts one of "love's labor Host."

For some time past Mr. Howe hiais beein missing meat from his slaughter house and, watch close as he would, he was unable to catdh 'the guillty pairtias. ibelieved tlhiait irun'miing races wooild Laux, whose wife is a woamam who has

Presidenit Beauchamp Ife quoted 'by 'tihe Gazette as saying that he dUd not .think there wouCd ibe as large attend-' ance at either 'the convention or the running meetiing as. Ibe'ing talked of. Thie evening traih© are always 'held •umtiili Haitle andi alimost all of the ipeopile from the surrounding .towns 'Who viisit the races WiCil go home .in 'the evening.

The members of the local T. P. A. have been holding frequent meetings iin preparation for their national convention i'n June. Their informal gathering yesterday afternoon took the shape of an indignation meeting. The Gazette Of Saturday quoites some unnamed pefrtson 'as saying thiat the T. P. A. is not, fin reality, opposed to the running meeting, but is seeking to horve PresMent Beauahamp over to the control of thle T. P. A. for sordid motives. This insinuation is indignantly denied by the T. P. A., a number of whom called at The Express office yesterday to enter protest. They say thiat a commi't/tee of the AgriculturaJl Society, consisting of Chalrles Baur, R. G. Wateon amd P. J. Kaufman, met with the entertainment committee of the T. P. A. more ithan two weeks ago. President Beauchamp, of the Agricultural Society, was also present.

Members of the T. P. A. declare that alt tha't meeting ithey were given to undterstamd that they could have 'the flair ground for any suCh entertaiinrn ents ais they might catre to provide.

The local T. P. A's beM^e-the runnimg meelting would interfere wiith 'their convention. They say the more promttnetnft rafee men coming 'here would want the beat rooms in' the hotels. The fight made on Terre Haute iin (the past few years in Sts effort to secure the convention has been on the ground, that Terre Haute was 'incapable of entertaiin'lhg so large a body of men. It rwtas only after positive assurance that Terre Haute could take came of the big crowd that Terre Haute secured the convention. The local members of the T. P. A. believe thalt 'the hotel accommodiaitilons are not such as to make it comfortable should the race meeting and the T. P. A. convention both be held at the satm^ time. Theiir viieWs on ithe subject are •betst expressed to the following iinterv.¥w:

A TRAMP'S ILL LUCK.

FROZE HIS FEET WHILE STEALING A RIDE FROM INDIANAPOLIS.

A Colored Boy Loses Employment and Starts to Beat His Way From Indianapolis to Waco, Texas. W.y'.

James Stevenson, a colored tramp, Who rode itlhe "blind baggage" from Indianapolis to this city yesterday morniing, will pay dearly for his ride. Both his feet aire so badly frozen that he could nclt walk and Ht is .thought one of thtem, at leatet, will have to be amputated. The triain on Which Stevenson had embarked to steal a ride pulled initio ithe. Uniion Station at 1:30 o'closk yesterday morning, while- the bleak winldis from -the northwest were getting in -their best licks. The tramp, of course, difd mot know iMs feet were frozen and, fearing arrest should he meet a po'Libemaiii, hte climbed off the north 3ide of 'the train and started in a roundabout way for the main part of the cilty. When the blood began to circulate, as a resuM of the exercise, Ithe triatmp wias so. benumbed about the feet and tower limbs that he could not walk and gave up in despair. He struggled imito a watchman's shanty on Norftsh Ninth street, where he was tallowed to remain, believing that he would be all right when he got warm. He was not long before the fire When he began to suffer excruOiaMng pain from his feet and his cries were piteous. The pottice ambulance was called 'ajnd Stevenson was 'removed to the Jail, where Jalil Physician Willis was called. The physician at a glance saw that the tramp was in a critical ConlditioJkand ordered hiilm removed to ithe hospital, where every effort will be made to save his fedt.

Stevenson is a .rather good looking colored boy, about 19 years of age, and sayis his home is to. Waco, Tex. Several weeks ago he improved an opportunity to see thle country by accepting a proposStiton to accompany a train loald of cattle from Walco 'to InJdianapolis. He leflt home, he says, with the untderstfcandiing wi'th the cattle dealler that he should be furttilii^hed wi/th 'transportation back ito his home in Waco. While in Indianapolis he became separated from his employer and, although he searched every part otf thle city, wlals unable to finid hilm. After waiting about Ind'ilanapolils until his limited funds became exhlatiste'd Stevenson decided ito dead beat" his way back to Textals. He was thinly dad, but, in spffite of this faidt, made his ©tart on the front end of Vandalila train No. 7 as it pulled oiit otf Indianapolis on the coldest nighit of the year. He has not yelt covered 100 miles otf his long journey and is in 'the hospffltial, with a chance of losi'ng one of his legs. Unless friends come to his assistance, it is likely to be some 'tiime before Stevenison shakes hands with the old folks at home. .'

THE MININGI OUTLOOK

THERE IS SOME TALK OF"CCRTAILING THE OUTPUT.

Some of tha Mines Would Therefore Be Closed—The New Scale Will be Discussed Tomorrow.

Though denied in some quarters, ift is stated by a prominent operator that •there is a movement "on foot to limit the output of coal in this district. It is also stated that this subject will oome before •the meetfrig of the miners to be held at the court house tomorrow.

Viewed from all sandpoinfts, the mirofing situation in Indiana in general, and iin this district in particUlan-, is in anythlmg but a satisfactory condition and, iin view of the coming changes in this and other states, there will likely be a good deal of unrest on 'the part of both the operators and miners until after April 1st, the dalte on which the new scale goes into effect in Pennsylvania amd Ohio. Indiana is bound to be affected by the new scale, but to what extent remains to be seen.

At present thetre is a 'large amount of coal being mined in the counties composing this district, but no more, however, than was mined two months ago. This does not seem possible sin view of the cold weather, but, nevertheless, It is a fact. Thiis conidultion of affairs is what has brought about the movement on 'the part of some of the operators to limit the output. The cause is eosifly explained. Two months ago there was little or no coal floated .down 'the Ohio river from the Piltltsburg district on account of the stage of the water. Theniver was very low—so low, 'in fact, that for weeks there was no coal sent down.

During this time the diggings south of Shelburn sent nearly half their entire output to Louisville and other Southern points, leaving the Chicago and Northwestern -market open to t'he other opera/tors in the western part of the state. Now, however, navigation on the Ohio has opened up. The recent heavy .rains has made it possible for the Pennsylvania operators to get thie&r accumulated supply on the Southern market, thus shutting off the Indiana, operators who were shipping their coal to Louisville. When the first raise fin the Ohio river came there were millions upon millions of tons of coal started dwn and today the Louisville market is more than supplied. Thus 'the small operators in the southern part of thestate areoompelled to send itheir coal to the Chicago market, which necessarily cuts ithe output of the operators in the north end of 'the district. The scheme proposed is to shut down some of thie mines, thus limiting the supply frorn the Indiana field on the Northern markets. There has been nothing done as yet, buit sure it is that such a plan is under consideration.

The miners tomorrow wi'H discuss matters of much greater importance. There will (be a discussion relative to •the .1896 scale, which goes into effect on Alpril 1st. There is no dtisguosing the fact that

!the

milners of Indiana are to

day digging coal ifor 60 cents a. ton simply because the operators have eeen fit to pay a price in excess of the recognized diiffereniial between itlhis and the fields iLn. Ohuo and Pennsylvania. Were Uhiis rule adhered to the Indiana men. would 'be receiving 'but 55 cents per -to-v 9 cents less than ithe price paid in {•:. Patitsiburg district. There is no signed scale (in' tMis state, as the men repudiated the agreement 'made by t»hea«r officers last ifa®, wihlich fixed the priceat 55 cents. They refused to go to work ifor this sunn and ithe operators^ wuith ithe exception of those at Clinton, gradually opened up at 60 cents, 5 cents aJbove 'the differential. By an agreement entered, itato between the miners and. operators itlhe scale iin the Pittsburg district after March 31st will 70 cents, which would make the iprice in Indiana 61 cents.

From wlhat appears on the surface there will be an. attempt on the paint otf the miners to bring 'the scale in 'this state u|p to 65 cents oni April 1st and 'ignore

the 9-cent differential between Indiana and Pennsylvania. Represemta'tives from every local in 'tihe district will be in Terre Haute when the meeting 'Convenes tomorrow morning and a plan of action malpped cut. Then the matter '{toil! ibe referred ito .the men in. tihe mines ifor 'theiir approval or rejection.

There has also fbeen some talk to the effect that the miners' organization I'sjil 'bald condiitiion and ithe meeting r.* as mnich for ithe purpose of patching up differences as anythemg else. This iJs denied toy Piresfldent Puree®. who says, that 'Wi'th the exception Of .the Clinrtorr fielid the organlization was all right. He stated last night .that the 'oonHing meeting tis Ifor the purpose of .formulafci'Rg plans 'to better thejr condition. ^T". Purcel Qdecliined to go 'im'o details. but from hils 'talk lilt was iniferred tlhere would be a general canvas of the mCnes otf the district relative to the change of scale and the differential and also to get the men into 'Kn'e for united action in case 'there 'is a vote against accepting 61 cenlts as the price of mining aifter April 1st.

Carson namlll Interviewed InWnchington. "Governor Matthews doesn't make any hypocritical pretense of not seeking the DemocraltSc mtttmimation for the presMeiicy he Is a man of 'blood and" attribution amd Wants the momlnati-n," sa'id Mr. M. C. HlamEn of Terre H.iute,. who to at the SKo®eham With a fair ywurtg hnide. "Tf thie urifalterflng support of tiheDiemocilajcy df hHs own sltate be worth anything he will be a factor in the race and of no small importance. He 1s a man of ability, courage and conservatism. Next ito ex-Governor Campbell of Ohio, he is probaibly the blest politician! !m America—a man of the people, who can mix with the masses and captivate the voters by his fine personal bearing an/d refcudiness as a speaker. If Governor Matthews shlould get the first pSace on the ticket he will carry his own ^tote by a rousing majority. He could beat Generafl Harr'2son hlands down, or any other candidate the Republicans could name." "Is there any truth in the rumor of the retirement otf Senator Voonhees from politics?" "Itf the Democrats carry the legislature the people would not allow Senator Voorhees tio .retire. He would ibe farced by the pressure off aggregated Democratic sentiment ito accept stiMfurther service. He is still the letakler^ the Achilles df his party, and is stronger floday than he ever was. It will ibe a hard flgWt in 1896, but the Republicalns cannot duplicate their unexpected successes oif 1894 and when the voice otf Vborhees is heard 'in the thick of theftght fit will hiave onlagical effect. I expect to see htm finish another senatortal. term."—Wfeushlmig'tion Po^t.
