Henri Kochefort Denounces the Anglo-

Lys: Henri Kochefort, speaking ot the

'England pretended respect for the

The real object of the Anglo-German

Xkw York, Oct. 24. Lord Salisbury's

German Emperor stands in awe is his

and Germany have been working to

The two governments already had a
secret understanding respecting African

"I am not aware of having made any

An erroneous report yesterday was
that the girl was I ti years old and Vaughn
IS years, but it transpires that she was
only 14 years of aire, while hois nearly
21 years. He is a morose, stubborn, un
sociable young fellow,- subject to fits of
melancholy. He has been insanely in
love with this girl for two years past,
but sho paid no attention to him.
The district attorney filed an informa
tion in Justice Johnson's court, at Jef
ferson, charging Vaughn with attempted
murder, and his preliminary examina
tion takes place today.
Jefferson and vicinity is in a state of
great excitement over the terrible crime
and if Miss Jones had died last night,
the probabilities are the state might
have been saved the trouble of a trial.
Jefkirso.v. Oct. 24. Clyde Vaughn,
the murderous assailant of Lulu Jones,
was arraigned this morning before Justice
Johnson, charged with assault with a
dangerous weapon. He waived examina
tion, was committed to the county jnil,
and was immediately taken to Salem In
a carriage by Constable Klackwell.
This charge is preferred simply to hold
him, awaiting the result of the girl's
injuries.
Miss Jones is still alive, but in very
bad condition, and it is thought she is
making a heroic battle for life. She has
sufficient consciousness to recognize
members of the family and talk a little.
bejan yesterday, wa? resumed today, in-
dieations are that it will be late tonight
before they can come to a definite con
clusion as to the manner of ending the

will Dot be made public unlit tomorrow
The delay is occasioned bv com plication i

in a ml a of the Scranton miner)' con
vention.
A new difficulty presented iteelf today
when the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal
company posted a supplemental notice
at its collieries in the Hazleton district
to the effect that the company w ill pay
its men 2.'' cents additional on a car of
coal to make up the 10 pur cent increase
in wages. The notice says nothing about
abolition ol tho sliding sc;ile, nor does it
graranteo the payment of the Increase
until April. To tlie mineworkers these
are two vitul points. These notices are
the same as those previously posted bv
the company at its mines in the Wilkes-
larre district, where the sliding sciilo
never existed.
lu what manner the Unit'od Mine-
workers. will overcome these obstacles is
not known. It is believed tiiat the strike
will be, declared off at the mines of the
companies that have complied will) the
resolutions of the Scranton convention
and that the contest will be continued
aainst operators who have not fallen in
to line. If thia action is taken, it is not
uulikely the railroad men will be drawn
into the contest to the extent of refusing
to handle the coal ol these companies
Ihe statement to be leaned will be
drawn by President Mitchell and will
not be given publicly until it has been
