Mr. Conners was asked about the situation in the State and replied: "William J. Bryan will carry New York State by from 75,000 to 100,000. Bryan is the strongest Democrat in New York to-day.

Trouble Arises Over Discharge of Driver Operators Refuse To Hold Out Dues. Tern Haute, Aug. 14. Following the issuing of a circular by the operators' association Instructing the mine owners to discontinue the checkoff, the Executive Board of "the United Mine Workers of District No. 11.

at a mooting this afternoon, decided to call a suspension of work in the Indiana bituminous coal Meld, and as a result 10,000 men will quit work to-morrow. The men are ordered to quit work at once a. all mines where the owners refuse to collect the dues awl assess ments of the men out of their wages. If the order of the operators la carried cut by all of the members of the association this will mean that every mine in that organization will be idle after to-morrow. The trouble originated at the Bood mine in Sullivan county, whore work was suspended because of the discharge of a driver.

The operators hold that the strike at that mine was ordered contrary to tho contract, and for this rt ason the operators, at a meeting held Tuesday night, determined to quit collecting for the union. The miners say that the driver was discharged in violation of the agreement, and for this reason the Rood mine was closed. According to the Terre Haute agreement the operators were to withhold the monthly dues of the men out of their thus accommodating the union. POPE SPEED, DEFENDANT, BECOMES A PLAINTIFF.

TWO KILLED BY CARELESS ACT Match Lighted Near Balloon Causes Explosion. Niece of Capt. Lovelace One of the Victims. Baldwin Fulfills Speed Re- quirement With Airship. ENDURANCE TEST ONLY LEFT.

London, Aug. 14. Tho Franco-Brit ish exposition grounds were rocked by an earthquake to-day and hundreds of windows in the great building were broken by the explosion of the huge balloon of Capt. Lovelace, of the Now York Aero Club, who has been giving aerial performances at the exhibition. Two were killed outright by the explosion, a dozen were seriously burned In the mass of flames that engulfed the crowd when the big gas bag burs: and scores were injured by being trampled in the mad rush for escape.

Miss Blanche Hill, IS years old, secretary to Capt. Lovelace, was one of the persons killed. She was burned to a cinder. The other person killed, a man, and six men who sustained in juries, also were employed by Capt. Lovelace.

Capt. Lovelace is himself in a serious condition, due to his injuries, grief and the excitement attending his personal supervision of the work of rescue. Match Causes Explosion. The balloon was being inflated pre paratory to a sail, and a great crowd was' watching the work. When tho huge bag was nearly filled a bystander lighted a match, in violation of warn ings conspicuously posted near the balloon.

Instantly thero was an explosion that made the earth tremble. The bag was rent asunder and a wall of flames enveloped scores who were standing near the balloon. A terrific panic followed, and many were hurt in the scramble for the gates. The escaping crowd met an onrush of spectators who were attracted by the explosion and a wild mixup followed. Capt.

Lovelace, blackened and stunned, tried heroically to calm the crowd, and directed the work of rescuing those who had been rendered unconscious by the explosion. Immediately following the explosion the balloon shed caught fire and was destroyed. Previous Mishap. Tho disaster is the worst that has yet attended the exhibition, and on investigation will be made in an effort to fix the responsibility. A week ago Capt.

Capt. Lovelace, who is a resident of New York City, came to London in company ti lth Dr. Julian P.

Thomas, of the Aero Club of America. He is devoted to aeronautics, in the pursuit of which he has had many thrilling adventures. In a trip with Dr. Thomas in the German balloon Pommern, winner of the international race from St. Louis, he climbed from tho basket up tho netting around the gas bag and took a position at the top of the great sphere in order better to direct tho course.

This was in a trip from New Tork to Philadelphia. SUCCESSFUL SPEED TBIAL. Baldwin's Airship Does Sixteen Miles An Hour. Washington, Aug. 14.

"Tho body of Daniel Boone still rests in Missouri, and was not moved to Kentucky by the delegation that came after it in 1S45." This is a conclusion of a committee composed of Nat Gardare, Charles W. Thoroughman, Benedict Thoroughman, J. H. Tuttle. headed by the Rev.

R. E. McQuie, of this city, who has visited Boone's burying-placo and, after gathering all information available relative to the body of this old and distinguished pioneer, decided unanimously that the body of Boone was never moved to Kentucky. The delegation who came from that State to remove the body in 1815, being strangers and there being no tombstone to mark the graves in that old cemetery, made the grievous error of taking back to the native State the dust and bones of a stranger who was burled near the grave of Mrs. Boone.

The Rev. Mr. McQuie said that the mistake no doubt grew out of the fact that Daniel Boone and his wife were not buried side by side, as those who came to remove the body naturally expected and were so informed. Find the Grave. This latter day committee found at the grave an old rugged stone partially buried In the earth with the following verse inscribed thereon: which, it is stated, was carved by Boone himself with the old knife that he so often used in dressing game he killed in.

14. Special. Mr. William Ralnea died at his home on Third street, in this city this morning after a brief Illness. He was 6S years of age and widely related throughout Central Kentucky.

Boone's Death. Miss Cecille Turner, of this city, aged 14 years, who has gained quite a reputation as an artist, has just drawn the picture of Daniel Boone, his log cabin home in Warren county, and the in which he died. The stone house in which he died is said to have been the first stone dwelling house erected in Missouri. Respecting a question to how and where Eoone died, we are told that he had a serious attack or fever In the summer of 1820, just about eighty-eight years ago, at the home or Flanders Calloway. He recovered sufficiently to make a visit to the house of his son, Natnaiien tsoone, un Osage creek.

The children heard or hlo nnrl WIrP deslrOUS Of SCS- ing the old' man again. It is said that he recuperated somewhat and spent a few happy days in the society of his children and relatives. One day a nn dish of sweet potatoes, a dish of which lie was very fond, was prepared for him. He ate heartily and soon after had an attack, from which he never recovered. After three days' illness he exntred on September 26, 1S20, being S6 years of age.

Not Afraid of Death. It is said that he had no fear of death, although he had never made any profession of religion or united with any church. In a letter to his sister, written shortly before his death, he said he had always tried' to live an honest artd consecrated life and was perfectly willing to surrender his soul to the discretion of his God. He passed awav in the front room of his house on the "first floor to the right of the hall as vou enter the building. It has been stated in history that he died at Deer Lick with his gun in his hands watching for a deer.

After the old settler passed away he was placed in the coffin made by his own hands and taken to the Calloway home. Tho news of his death spread rapidly and a vast concourse of friends collected on the day of the funeral to pay the last tribute of respect to the old pioneer. His funeral was preached bv the Rev. James Craig, a son-in-law of Nathaliin Boone, and the house he-ing too small to accommodate the vast audience, the coffin was carried to a large barn near by into which people crowded to listen to the discourse. At the close of the services the coffin was borne to the old cemetery and deposited in tile grave that had been prepared for It.

Mark of Eespect. In an old history of the county, written by W. S. Bryant and Robert Rose, some very Interesting matter regarding the effort to remove Daniel Boone's body to Kentucky Is found. Among other things it gives the following matter regarding Boone and what was THE REV.

J. E. McQUlE. then thought to bo a successful effort to disinter his body and take it back to Kentucky. The writer of this history who spent some time in this and adjacent counties, looking up information regarding Boone's life and death, says that at the time of Boone's demise the Constitutional Convention of Missouri was In session at St.

Louis, and upon the receipt of the intelligence a resolution was offered by the Hon. Benjamin Emmons, of St. Charles, that the members weir the usual badge or mourning for thirty days, in respect to the memory of the deceased and adjourn for one day. The resolution was unanimously adopted. "The Boone family was noted for says the writer; "George Boone, a brother of Daniel, died In Shelby county, in November, 1S20, at the use of 83; Samuel, another brother, died at the ago of 88; Jonathan, at SC: Mrs.

Wilcox, a sis. ter, at 91; Mrs. Grant, another sister, at 84. and Mrs. Smith, a third sister, at to.

There Is no record of the deaths of the rest of Boone's brothers and sisters, except those given heretofore, but they all lived to be old men and women. Chose Burying Place. "When Col.
