LOVE VICTOR OVER HEAT Young Manville And Bride Are Re married In Jersey City After Leaving Baltimore. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. New York, July 3. In order to insure his marriage with a double knot to baffle quibbling legal Interferers who might try to circumvent him should his father not ap- prove of the match, Thomas F.

Manville, the 19-year-old son of Thomas Frank lin Manville, president of the Asbestos Trust, braved the heat of Jersey City today and was again married to his blushing bride of three weeks by Richard J. Vree- land, clerk of the Jersey City Board of Finance. "Yes, it Is a true lovers knot with a double bow now that I have had the sec ond ceremony performed," said the youth ful-looking bridegroom tonight at the Waldorf-Astoria, when seen by a reporter. "We did it under legal advice because some people who have started to interfere in 'my affairs don't know when to stop," he continued. "My wife, who was Miss Florence E.

Huber, of a fine family of Willlamsport, is a charming young woman and regretted as much as I that we did not manage to 6ee my father before he went abroad to tell him of our purpose of marrying, but he was such a busy man and I could not neglect my work in Wall street so we could meet. "Yes, I am a few years younger than my wife, but I feel older, and the clerk who married us today complimented me exceedingly when he said he doubted my wife was as old as she said, but made no comments on my age. She had given her age as 22 years, but he thought she was nearer 17. It looked gloomy as well as torrid In that marriage room for a while, but my wife gave him. one of her winning smiles and then things started to hum along at full speed.

"We have been honeymooning since our first ceremony, which was performed by Alderman S. Drescher, in the City Hall here, but left cool and pleasant surroundings at Atlantic City to be remarried in Baltimore. We found when we got there that the intense heat had cooled everybody's ardor for work of any sort, and today, as well as the Fourth, were to be holidays. "At midnight we were told there was little chance of a ceremony, so we slipped out of the Hotel Belvedere and caught a midnight train for New York. We went over to Jersey before 9 o'clock this morning, and now we are prepared to meet my father forearmed as well as forewarned when he arrives on the Kaiser Wilhelm II.

"I hope he will see things in the light that we do and hope to become a member of his working force. I do not want any more of Wall 6treet." It is said youns Mr. Manville's mother, Mrs. Clara ManviJle, who divorced: hef husband in Boise, Idaho, two years ago, gaining the custody of her daughter, while the son Went with the father, favors her son's marriage and believes that the young man can make his own living if the father disinherits him. IRWIN MINERS TO END STRIKE Fourteen Months' Conflict In The Bituminous Field Was Bitter.

Greensburg, July 3. Although it has not been officially announced, miners' delegates to a meeting held here today to consider calling off the strike in the Irwin field practically admitted tonight that it was decided to end the strike. There were delegates from 75 local unions of the Irwin field, presided over by President Francis Feehan, of district five, of Pittsburg.

It is said that no concessions have been maae by tne op erators.

victim is Always a woman Invariably- Killed In Same Way Full-Blooded Africans Apparently Safe Eight Slashed So Far. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore" Sun. Atlanta, July 3. The eighth consecutive victim of Atlanta's negro "Jack the Ripper" came to her death Saturday night at practically the same hour and in almost identically the same manner in which the other seven mulatto women were killed. Lena Sharpe, about 40 years old, was found dead with her head almost severed.

Her body was horribly mutilated. Shortly after this tragedy the daughter of, the dead woman, who had gone in search of her. was also attacked by a negro whom she had never seen before. She was badly cut, but escaped, and it is thought she will recover. She describes the assailant as a large, very black man, powerfully built and neatly dressed.

She asserts that he accosted her and attempted to engage her in "conversation. She became frightened and, as she started to run, was stabbed in the back. The entire negro population has become terrorized. The series of murders is spoke of with bated breath, and at night there are few negro women on the streets. Negro preachers have taken the murders for a text, and their congregations, ever emotional, have been worked up into-a state of religious frenzy.

Negro cooks and housemaids are refusing to work after dark In cases where they have any distance to go, and the problem of help is becoming serious. Xegro Killings Frequent There. Murders of negroes by negroes are fre quent enough on Saturday nights, when Dima-tiger whisky has been flowing freely, and if the homicides had been of the ordinary kind where there is a heated quarrel, a blow, the crack oi a pistol or the glitter of a knife in any of the many dives and dance halls, little would be thought of it. But this new variety of crime is as heart- ess and unerring as Jack the Ripper, whose gruesome murders in the White Chapel district of London over 20 years ago startled the whole world. He displays the same diabolical cunning.

the same fiendish desire to rip and tear and mutilate after death has been inflicted. And, strangely enough, his bloody work betrays the fact that he possesses no little knowledge of anatomy. The first stroke is always in a vital spot, and death is dealt out with absolute certainty. It is after ward that the carving up of the victim always in the same region of the body begins. The woman is then left to welter in her blood in some dark, obscure alley.

Possibly the crime is not discovered until Sun day morning. At all events, it has been the same for the last eight weeks the murderer escapes, leaving no clue to his Identity. Physical evidence goes to show that the murder is not committed after the accomplishment of the usual crime for which ne groes are so frequently lynched in the South. Rather it is thought to follow the awful mania of a diseased mind, which on other subjects is rational enough. Invariably the victims have been good- looking, neatly dressed and, physically attractive.

More than one of them has received an education in one of the many schools for negroes founded by philanthropic white peopleiq. the Jforth. Carousal Saturday Alght. Saturday night Is a time of merrymaking and carousal for the average Atlanta negro after his day's work is done. But this monster that has stolen into their midst and dealt out death so un erringly has caused fright to grip them.

They have conjured up a being something more than human, possessed of supernatural powers an ogre, a fiend incarnate. Not in a single instance has an out-and- out black woman been murdered in the manner described and the word has gone forth among them that they are safe. It would seem that all of the negroes had been killed with the. same instrument, a razor or a very sharp knife, such as surgeons use. Save in one instance the throat was cut from ear to ear, and the wound was clean.

No stab marks were evident. All wounds were made as if the victim had been seized suddenly, head held back and the blade drawn swiftly across In a hori zontal direction. The murders have not been confined to one part of the city, but have been widely separated. Each Saturday night a new soot has been selected, and at the discovery of each fresh crime the terror has spread until now there is not a negro in Atlanta, no matter how ignorant or illiterate, who has not heard of the terrible something which may strike them down at any mo ment. "Jack the Ripper," of London, killed women of the street for the most part.

In this case the victims have not been of that character, but have invariably been highly spoken of by their employers. MURDERED IN PRISON Prospector Murdered For Drowning Of Two Daughters Of His Mining Partner. Globe. July 3. KIngsley Olds, a prospector who attempted suicide after the drowning of Lulu and Myrtle Goswick, young daughters of his mining partner, on June 24, was murdered in hia cell in jail today.

Threats of lynching had been made ever since Olds came Into town and announced that Indians had slain the girls and shot away part of his jaw. The bodies or tne gins were iouna later in a river and it was learned, officers say, that Olds had mistreated and drowned them and then attempted suicide. The single shot that killed Olds was fired from a window In the Courthouse, 30 feet distant, while Olds lay asleep. The murderer escaped, leaving the rifle by the window from which the shot was fired. It was discovered that tne assassin gained entrance to the building In the night by means of keys belonging to the janitor.

Entering a judge's chamber overlooking Olds' cell window, he poked a hole in the window screen and, resting hisS rifle on the window ledge, sent his first shot between the bars into Olds' shoulder. It ranged downward through the lungs and caused almost instantaneous death. A coroner's jury returned a verdict of death at the hands of a person unknown A brother of the murdered man arrived tonicht and he will begin an Investigation Olds was found on June 24 by cowboys making his way to Globe from Salt River. His jaw was partly shot away, and he was unable to talk. He wrote that, while in bathing in the river with the two girls 10 and 12 years old, who had accompanied him to Globe from their father's ranch, he had been shot by He had fallen unconscious, he said, and did not know what became' of the girls, but he thought the Indians took them ar killed them.

Their bodies were found In the river the next day. The sheriff found no trace of the persons who Olds said shot him, but circumstances pointed to his having assaulted the girls and drowned them to cover his crime. The bodies of the children, however, bore no trace of violence. Wesley Goswick, father of the girls, was disarmed the day his daughters' bodies were discovered, as he was coming to Globe with the avowed intention of killing Olds who was then In the county hospital. Olds was removed to jail to prevent possible mob violence.

Later a charge of murder was preferred against him. He then confessed that shot himself In an attempt at suicide, but said he had not harmed the girls. Closed July 4. Open Wednesday Horning. MIMPI Of the Entire Stock of Nathan Gutman CO.

"Baltimore had no kick coming on the temperature today that Is, comparatively speaking," said the man at the Weather Bureau as he scanned his charts tonight. These same charts showed that while it was hot in Baltimore sweltering, scorch-ingly hot the Monumental City was by no means the most torrid place on the map. Compared with the official thermometer showing in other cities Baltimore was a "cool place," the coolest big city in the country, and certainly the coolest port on the Atlantic Coast. Thirteen cities, therefore, were unlucky enough to report a maximum of 102 or over. A round dozen places reported 100 as maximum.

They were Fort Wayne, Ind. Hartford, where the local record was broken Cincinnati, Springfield, 111. Harrisburg, Pa. Chicago, St. Louis, Indianapolis, Toledo, Oklahoma City, Omaha and Fort Smith.
