Pennsylvania Mining Town In State of Terror. Whisky Starts Trouble and Free-For-AU Fight. Deputies Fire On Mob, Kill-? ing Three Men Outright. APPEAL FOR STATE TROOPS. Johnstown, April 16.

Three men, have been shot dead, a boy ha? been fatally wounded and a mining engineer, Eugene Deianey. taken to the hospital in a serious condition as a result of a riot at Windber among the striking coal miners to-night. The place is in a state of terror. Sheriff Begley has been summoned and an appeal has been made to Gov. Pennypacker for troops.

There are several others of the rioters who have sustained slight injuries. The dead men and most of the Injured are foreigners. The foreign element have been celebrating Easter Monday ln the mining section and much liquor has been used. The streets have been thronged all day with a boisterous crowd, but no sign of trouble appeared until to-night, A body of strikers was assembled in front of the Windber jail discussing the mass-meeting that had been held during the afternoon and which had been addressed by three Catholic priests. The discussion grew into argument and soon there was a free-for-all fight.

Deputies Fire On Mob. Deputies that had been sworn In when the strike in the coal mines was first inaugurated made their appearance and a number of arrests were made. All of the arrested men were union men and their colleagues set up a cry that they were being discriminated against and were imposed upon.

Washington, April 16. Speciail Republican statemen who visited the White House to-day were wonderfully acrobatic in their ability to sidestep all questions relating to the President'g utterances Saturday on the subject of a graduated inheritance and property transfer tax. Privately it was admitted that the suggestions of the President in this direction were likely, to be received with great favor throughout the country, but at the present time not many of the statesmen are ready to publicly Indorse views of the President or to elaborate their own particular views. The unanimity with which this caution was shown was surprising. The private opinion was expressed that the utterances of the President are sure to start an overwhelming public sentiment in behalf or legislation for both a graduated Income tax and an inheritance tax, such as now levied in England.

Switzerland has an Income tax, it is stated, that grows so heavy after a number of millions have been reached, as to practically prohibit fortunes beyond a certain point. As a result, millions of money are given to charitable and other objects to escape the tax, and the Government derives a large revenue from the source. England has an inheritance tax, as is well known. The President has certainly made a big jump for the populistic band wagon. The middle-of-the-road Populists, at the convention held by thera in Cincinnati, ln May, ISC0, adopted a platform demanding "the levy arid col-Jpctfon of a r.J.-.i!-t-J -7 The House Committee on Agriculture has favorably reported the bill introduced by Representative Trimble fixing penalties for the adulteration of bluegrass and other seed.

The bill was reported unanimously and is therefore expected to pass the House at an early date. Under the old provision in the law the Secretary cf Agriculture was simply directed to publish the name.of grass adulterators. This, the new bill -declares, is not sufficient, as they should be prosecuted. In his report to the House Representative Trmbie says: Reports from the Agricultural Department introduced by iir. Galloway, Chief of the Bureau of Plant Industry, demonstrated to the Committee on Agriculture the character and extent to which seeds are being adulterated.

Kentucky blue-grass seed is mixed with Canadian blue-grass, about half and halt, and it ia impossible to detect the adulteration tx-cept by an expert under a magnifying glass. The Canadian bluegrass Is absolutely worthless as a pasture and Willi it the most obnoxious- of all weeds, ih, Canadian thistle, has been introduced in lo this country. Within trie last stveu months over 400,000 pounds has been brought into tho United States, and practically all of it has been used for adulterating bluegrass. The adulteration of tlis orchard grass and red clover -is carried on to the same extent as the bluesiati. Meadow fescue, English rye grass and Italian rye grass are used to adulteraie orchard grass, while yellow trefoil is used to adulterate red clover and alfalfa.

There is a great demand in foreign countries for Kentucky bluegrass seed, and if something is not done to prevent its adulteration our export trade will be ruined. The bili has been submitted to the Department of Agriculture and is by that department most cordially approved. Representatives of the department have been before the committee and explained the nature of the adulterations and cor-d'ally recommend the passage the bill. In addition to this various agricultural experiment stations throughout the Lnlt-cd States have Joined in the request tor the passage of a bill of this character. To Correct a Vicious Practice.

RAN ROUTE OF SIN; TRIED DEATH BY FIRE.

Specials-Mary Louise Bryant, formerly of Bourbon county, who has run the route of sin, to-day set fire to her clothing in her cell in the city jail, at the same time screaming a prayer for the salvation of her soui.

ITS DECISION IN MATTER TO BE FINAL. THEY DEMAND A CONFERENCE Chicago, April 16. General Overseer Wilbur Glen Voliva and his followers have thrown down the gauntlet to John Alexander Dowle. Through their attorney, Jacob Newman, the following terms have been proposed: "You are to agree on a committee of four or eight, by which this entire matter is to be settled. Tvo members of this committee shall be appointed by the advocates of the cause of Dowie.

two shall represent Voliva. In case that the committee shall constitute eight members each side tvfil have th? apppintm a disagreement in a u-- poiritea 'Trncrai is further ijrovided that property belonging to the Christian Catholic Church shall be transferred to this board of arbitration, and that their judgment as to whether Voliva or Dowie shall control the same will be final." Mr. Newman said to-night: "We are willing to concede that Dr. Dowie has an indisputable right to 5 per cent, of the property owned by the Christian Catholic Church, but we demand that a conference between the Dowie faction and the followers of Voliva be held and that Dowle sign an agreement whereby he relinquishes all claims to the property in question in consideration of the fact that he Is vested In the sole ownership of 5 per cent, thereof." Ac this juncture Attorney Wetten. representing Dr.

Dowie, demanded that all statements printed in-the last issue of "Leaves of Healing," the official paper of Zion, be designated as slanderous and improper. He thereupon telephoned to the postmaster at Zion City, notifying him that if he received any numbers of the "Leaves of Healing" and permitted them to be passed through the mails, he would be amenable to the law. Mr. Wetten then telegraphed to Postmaster General George B. Cortelyou advising him of the situa tion and asking him to deliver a ruling upon the point at issue.

Attorney Wet-ten claims that to send the last issue of the "Leaves of Healing" through the mails is an offense against the United States Government, Inasmuch as lt contains statements derogatory to the moral character of Dowie. Both sides are now awaiting a ruling of the United States Postal Department on this subject. RUMORS OF ATTEMPT TO DYNAMITE CASINO Due To Revengeful Act of Boy Who Had Fallen Out With Alley Man. French Lick, 16. Special.

Considerable excitement was caused by the report here to-day that an attempt to dynamite the Casino had been made by unknown persons. Foundation for the story was discovered in the fact that one of the pin boys at the bowling alleys had fallen out wlth the manager of the alleys, and after some words had threatened to blow the place up. He secured a small piece of dynamite, which he succeeded in exploding under the front veranda of the Casino, blowing a small hole in the Mitchell In Indianapolis.

$266 More Found On Dead Negro's Body. ATTACHED BY ADMINISTRATOR Henry Bickel, who has the contract for making the excavation for the Mary Anderson Theater building at Fourth avenue and Chestnut street, said last night that he had relinquished any claim he might have had on the treasure found by Andrew Davis, the negro who forfeited his life rather than give up the gold. Mr. Bickel came to this conclusion after consulting with his attorney, William Furlong. No legal proceedings whatever will be instituted by Mr.

Bickel to recover the J1.500. Hundreds Search. Dump. Ftilly 400 persons, black and white, yesterday swarmed about the dump where the earth taken from the excavation at Fourth avenue and Chestnut street is being thrown. All were eagerly digging about in tho fresh dirt, some with shovels, others with pointed sticka, and a fe'w used their bare hands in their-search.

In some few Instances the searchers were rewarded, It was reported, but no one was willing to admit that he had found anything. All seemed to fear that if lt became known that their quest for gold had been successful they would be forced to give It up. Three Boxes Reported Found. A story, which could not be verified, gained circulation yesterday to the effect that in all, three boxes of gold had been carried from' the excavation at Fourth avenue and Chestnut street. According to this rumor, the amount secured from, the first box was only a smal portion of the hidden wealth.

A ir.oii who did not care to have his name made public in con nection with the story, however, said he had been Informed ci good authority that more than one box of gold had been unearthed and carried away. Negro's Administrator Attaches Coin. When a more thorough search of the pockets of Andrew Davis was made yesterday, an additional $226 was found. This brings the total amount of money found on the dead negro up to $1,066.

W. S. Cloyd, son of the Judge of Taylor county, has qualified as administrator of the dead man's estate, and has attached money, all of which had been placed in the Taylor National Bank at'Oainpbellsville. The $200 which is in the hands of the Sheriff of Jefferson county, makes the total amount of money recovered, 266, leaving unaccounted for about $240. An inquest was conducted by Coroner Collins, of Taylor county, yesterday, over the body of Davis.

The Coroner's verdict was to the effect that Davis came to his death from a gunshot wound, inflicted by unknown persons. Marshal's Condition Critical. Luther Taylor, the Town -Marshal of Campbellsville, who was snot through the body while attempting to place the negro Davis under arrest, Is ln a critical condition. The wound is not necessarily fatal, however, and with careful attention he may recover. Who Hid the Gold? WTio placed the burled treasure in the lot at Fourth avenue and Chestnut street, and who is the rightful owner of the gold that was unearthed by An drew Davis are the questions whicji many were, asking in Louisville yesterday and last night Attorneys dif fer as to who is entitled to the money.

Judge George Da Relle, former Chief Justice of the Kentucky Court of Appeals, is of the opinion that the gold unquestionably belonged to the negro who found It, while other attorneys think the money should revert to the estate of the person who buried the coins. Many think it rightfully belongs to the present owner of the lot on which the buried treasure was found. Others are egually as con scientious in their opinion that Henry Bickel, the contractor who had charge of the excavating, should enjoy the benefit of the find. Lost Money Belongs To Finder. Judge Alex.

P. Humphrey, in speaking of the case yesterday afternoon, said it was clearly one for the courts to decide. He explained that the courts had drawn very fine distinctions be tween money lost, and money mislaid. Money laid on a counter Is not lost, but placed their intentionally by the owner, who forgot it. In case the owner fails to claim lt, the courts hold that the shop-keeper, and not the person who found the money; is entitled to it Judge Humphrey said it had been established clearly by the courts that lost money goes to the finder.

He cited as an in stance a Rhode Island case, where an to support the efforts of Gov. Folk and Prosecuting Attorney Patterson to bring the mob leaders to justice. A mass-meeting that was to have been calied by the alliance for to-night will not be held. The civil and military authorities asked that the meeting should be given up, but assigned no reason. The six negro members of the alliance united in saying that no effort would be made by the colored people to have revenge for the work of the mob.

VISITING GOVERNORS Discuss the Work of Lynching Party At Springfield. St. Louis, April 16. Gov. Hoch, of Kansas; Gov.

Hagerman, of New Mexico, and Gov. ravls, of Arkansas, who are here as guests of the convention of the Southwestern Commercial were asked to-day for expressions concerning the Springfield lynching. Gov. Hagerman, New Mexico, said: "Such a lynching as took place in Springfield under a statue of Liberty, with the police helpless, could not have occurred in New Mexico. Our mounted police are men who would take no account of the odds against them in enforcing the law.

It would be a lasting disgrace to a Sheriff in the Territory to have a prisoner taken from him by a mob as it is to have a prisoner escape." Gov. Hoch, Kansas, said: "Race prejudice is not bounded by geographical lines. This outbreak in which the mob did not wait to learn whether the prisoners were guilty, is another instance of this hyena-like spirit." Gov. Davis, Arkansas, said: "I have nothing to say on any subject to a newspaper reporter. I don't want to see one.

I have no opinion on the lynching at Springfield or any other subject for publication." ORDERS TO MILITIA To Arrest leaders of the Mob Issued By Gov. Folk. Jefferson City, April 16. At noon Gov. Folk issued instructions to Adjt.

The Governor stated that the militia will be kept in Springfield until quiet and order is restored and danger of injury to persons and property is averted. This afternoon Gov. Folk departed for St. Louis to address the convention of the Southwestern Chemical clubs and will continue to receive reports from Springfield in St.

Louis. Before leaving for St. Louis Gov. Folk made the following statement: "I am now advised that about 100 of the leaders of the Saturday-night mob are known. I have instructed Gen.

Clark to arrest these and place them in jail. If an attempt at rescue is made and more troops are needed I will send the First regiment and light Battery of St. Louis."

but it was tabled by an almost unanimous vote. R. B. Paddock, of Fort Worth, who made the motion tabling the resolution, said: "Mr. Chairman, I move to table that resolution.

The people of Springfield did just exactly right. They ought to do more like it. They can't make the fire too hot to suit me. This Springfield matter is purely a local question. The commercial convention has nothing to do with it.

We came here to benefit the Southwest with discussions, resolutions and ideas, not for political gain or to further the ends of any one politician. I do not ordinarily favor mob law, but I tell you that whenever they lay a hand on-a woman, burn them." INDICTED ON LARCENY CHARGE GROWING OUT 01" THE ALLEGED GRAFTING IN BUFFALO. COLLECTOR FRED O.

EMBRACED DEATH INSTEAD OF LOVING WIFE, WHO AWAITED HIM. Estranged From His Family, Ohio County Man Seeks Reconcili ation and Is Drowned. Owensboro, April 16.

Special. Thomas Leisure, agjed twenty-jflve, was drowned in Rough river tojday, about five miles from Martford. Back of this bald statement of a factj lies a little domestic tragedy, which people who witnessed the drowning believe was about to end in a happy reconciliation, Some time ago Leisure separated from his young wife. Friends have been endeavoring to restore, peaceful relations between the two, but not until to-day did they succeed in obtaining the consent of the young man to return to his wife's home and talk over with her their differences. To reach the house it was necessary for him to cross Rough river.

The' high waters of the spring had washed away the bridges and Leisure had about decided to abandon the visit, when he suddenly exclalmed that he would swim across the river. He could see his wife's home she was awaiting his homecoming, willing and eager for-the reconciliation. Leisure removed his coat and plunged into the water like the Douglas of old. When within ten feet of the opposite shore he called to his friends on the bank that ho was drowning, and without struggling sank beneath the waters. His body was recovered to-night.

WOULD-BE SLAYER SENT TO ASYLUM. Los Angeles, April 16. Special. James Meenaeh, who on January Si deliberately tried to murder George K. Gwartney, of Corydon, by shooting him twice, was committed to the Insane asylum to-day, a jury ln Criminal Court having declared him now insane.

Under California laws he can: be tried for his crime if he ever recovers his reason. The mob, apparently not expecting the deputies would resort to firearms, fled. When the smoke cleared away and the victims shot were viewed by the crowd, there were cries of anger, and soon members of the mob, armed, returned the shots- of the deputies. The firing ceased almost as soon as it began, however, and the mob filed away from the jail. A state of terror exists to-night because of the prevalence of liquor and the angered miners.

There is much dynamite stored here and it is feared the strikers will resort to the explosive in revenge. Constabulary Delayed. Shortly before midnight the town quieted down and the crowds began to disappear from the streets.

McMullen went to the massmeeting held by the striking miners in a wood at the edge of the town. Many of the miners had been drinking, and the sight of the deputy made them furious. The officer was quickly surrounded by miners who threatened to kill him.

McMullen, real izing that his situation was desperate, fled for his life, finding refuge in the house of Councilman Charles Davis. Practically every man who had gone to the mass-meeting joined in the chase after the fleeing deputy, and soon after the latter had entered the Davis house it was surrounded by a mob of 2,000 shouting, cursing miners, who challenged McMullen to come out.

A great crowd of the strikers, with Zilis at their head, marched to the center of the town and prepared to storm the jail. The Deputy Sheriffs fixed the bayonets to their rifles and surrounded the jail to keep it from the mob's possession if possible.

At a signal the mob began to close in on the jail, shouting, to the deputies to throw away their guns and give up the prisoners. Officers Open Fire.
