Wilkesbakke. Pa.. Julv 23 There is
much excitement in the town of Ed
wardsville iust across the river. Kor
several days subterranean sounds have
been heard coming from the Kingston
Coal Company mines. The residents
knew what the noise meant, and pre
pared to vacate their houses, but the
crisis came today before they expected
it and the earth sank.
The area allecled covers fully 50 acres
and the damage ia great. The earth is
broken and cracked, as if an earthquake
had occurred. There are great holes
huge enough for a hors and wagon to
tall into. In other places there are
large criuks that run in all directions
for half a mile or more.
The streets are seamed and broken, all
the wells have run dry and water and
gas mains are rubied. Many houses
went over whim the crash came, and
even the foundations have collapsed.
Several families are rendered homeless
and have sought shelter of more fortun
ate neighbors.
As tlie land is useless for Iurther
building, that, portion of the town is
ruined. Several hundred thousand dol
lars would probably be necessary to put
ihe interior of the mine in condition.
The settling has not yet ceased, and the
people are still vacating their houses.

Sr. Louis, July 24 A Southern ex
press car at the Union station is the
present abiding place of an odd assort
ment of white mid colored excursionists
from I'.irmingham, Ala. The excursion
originally numbered about 400 neople,
who paid $10 and $15 for tickets to Chi
cago and St. Louis and return.
The excursion was engineered bv a
white man named Paekelt and the
notorious "Doc" Kennedy, a negro who
has achieved considerable renown in the
South as the originator of financial
hoaxes. When the party got to West
Point, Miss. , $iitll) was retired to make
the trip. This was $.'1 more per person
lor those intending to go on tp Chicago
from St. Louis.
About this time the majority of the
dupes of Kennedy and his partner re
fused to pry any more. A few, however,
paid the required $:i and they started
for Chicago. The excursionists were in
duced .to leave home with the under
standing that, work could lie furnished
them at Chicago, and St. Louis at large
wages.

who mysteriously disapperred from the
Grand Pacific hotel last Saturday. His
luggage ia in storage at the hotel, and he
has not appeared at the First National
Hank to claim the money which was
sent to him by cable from London on
Wednesday.
Telegrams from San Francisco say that,
Quick arrived in that city (rom Aus

liood Hope the young Englishman suf
lered from a severe hemorrhage soon
after taking a bath, and since then, his
friends claim, lie has not fully recov

the otlieers of the steamer that, he was
going to Canada to do some work for the
Canadian Pacilic railway. lie is a civil
engineer by profession and unmarried.
It, is also saiil that Quick drank heavily
during the voyage, and this (act,
strengthens the belief of the detectives
of Chicago that the Fuglishmau is in
bad company and that lie will appear as
soon as ho regains his senses.
Dr. M. La-ieron, an Fuglish physician
who is making a tour of the world, was

ArjKiASorLE, July 24 Great excite
ment prevails in this vicinity over the
tragic events growing out oi the accusa
tion that Jewish butchers killed a Greek
child as a religioUB sacrifice. The gov
ernor of Roumaiiia has proclaimed tho
district under military law, fearing
otherwise that the inhabitants would
use force against the Jews.
The alleged murder occurred at the
village of Mustapha pasha, about 21)
miles from this city. The corpse of a
Greek giri eight years of age was
found m the river and the doctorB de
clared that she had not been drowned,
but had been strangled and thrown into
the water. All the butchers in the place
were Spanish Jews except one Greek
named Stelanos, w ho swore the girl had
been strangled in the manner of the
Jewish blood offering. Stelanos suddenly
disappeared and later his corpse was
found in a sack on the bank of the river.
His body was covered with stabs. Sus
picion tell on the men whom Steianos
iiad accused, and live of the Spanish
butchers and two ol their apprentices
were arrested. One of the apprentices,
a lad named Quianui, confessed that the
live prisoners had committed the mur
der of Stefanos and paid him to carry
the body in a sack to the river. The
mystery of the girl's death is yet un
solved, but in the military trial which is
to be held it is expected some facts will
be brought to light.

Piiii.ADui.HiiA, Pa., July 24 The
liardsley investigation committee will
meet tomorrow to hold a sort of free-for-all
investigation. Governor Patterson,
Auditor-General McCamant, ex-State
Treasurer Livesy, Kemble and Elkins,
presidents of banks and the editors of
nearly all the Philadelphia newspapers
are expected as witnesses. Subpienas
have been flying around thick and fast.
Respect for tho official position of the
governor prompted a simple letter of re
iuest instead of a snbpiena from the
commissioners. No reply has yet been
received from him. The flurry created
by the story about the magistrates has
not subsided. An investigation of this
end of the subject will undoubtedly
come in its order.
What inside knowledge is conveyed
by liardsley's books is kept tightly in
the ollicial breast at present. The ex
perts w hen asked what the books show
say they are not at liberty to talk.

London, July 24 A telegram from
Constantinople says that a serious anti
Jewish riot has taken place at Jaffa,
where for some time past Russian Jews
have been arriving in large numbers,
despite the imperative orders received
by the authorities from the Porte that
no Jews be permitted to land, except
those going on a pilgrimage to Jeru
salem, and these only upon a solemn
agreement to return within a reasonable
period.
The expelled Russian Jews refused
admission into any of the countries abut
ting unon Russia took advantage of the
pilgrimage clause in the Turkish order
of prohibition and entered the Turkish
territory in such large numbers as to at
once arouse suspicion that a large major
ity of the pilgrims were immigrants ol a
most undesirable kind.
Accordingly the authorities absolutely
refused to admit any more of them,
whether pilgrims or not, and the Jews
stood firmly on their religious rights,
which they declared had :,een respected
by the government at Constantinople
and could not be ignored by any of the
Sultan's subordinates.
The latter did ignore them, however,
and a savage light onsued, necessitating
a considerable reinforcement of the local
military beiore the disturbance was
quelled, in the melee a number of
Jews were killed, a much larger number
injured and several soldiers were hurt.
PHINCE FEKIIN'ANO's M A Itltl A U U.
London, July 24 Advices from Sofia
state that deep interest is felt in the
Bulgarian capital in the outcome of the
family council, which it is expected will
be held at the estate of Archduke Joseph
in Hungary in a few days. The meeting
is understood to most deeply concern
Prince Ferdinand, inasmuch as it is be
lieved to have been called to discuss the
matrimonial prospects of the Bulgarian
ruler.
Prince Ferdinand and his mother are
to be present and the Princess Stephanie,
widow of Prince Kudolph of Austria, and
her mother. The Queen of the Belgians
will also attend, together with several
others connected by birth or marriage
with the Coburg family.
Current gossip has it that the real
purpose of the gathering is to discuss the
possibility of a matrimonial alliance be
tween Ferdinand and Stephanie, an
event which would require the sanction
ol the Emperor and Empress o( Austria
and the rung and Queen of the Belgians
and probably arouse the opposition of
many other courts.

London, July 24 The 1'aris papers are
filled with expressions of pleasure at the
reception ot the irench fleet at Cron
stadt, though everything was carried out
in accordance with the program previ
ously announced, which of course de
tracts from its importance as an event of
special significance.
A few ol the more conservative jour
nals content tnemsetves with thanking
tne Russian government lor its honors
to tho French flag and its courtesies to
the French ollicers, but the more vola
tile of tho Parisian editors profeBS to
see in the extension of courtesies to the
French fleet a strong tendency to .the in
evitable Franco-Hussian otlensive and
defensive alliance.
Though the latter view is expressed
chietiy by journals of little or no influ
ence, it is bv (ar the most popular, even
among persons of admitted political

of Wisconsin militiamen have their
quarters at the light-horse squadron
armory and their actions have caused a
scandal. It has been rumored that the
boys have been spiriting young girls into
the place.
Police watched the place last night
and saw a girl enter the armory. The
otlieers entered later and surprised the
pair. They were promptly marched to
the station and this morning were each
fined $10 and costs before Justice lluch
ling. The young soldier paid his tine,
but the girl, who was a servant in a
house near the armory, went to the
house of i orrection for 30 days.
The affair has created a tremendous
social Bensation. The squadron is com
posed of young men of the wealthiest
tamilies and of the best social standing.
The police assert they have proof that
the magniticent $100,000 armory erected
by the State has for months been made
an evil resort.
A thorough investigation has been
ordered, and at least half a dozen young
militiamen whose names have been sup

AT COAL CREEK.
ev Complications Arise
Trouble Feare.l.
Knoxvillk, Tenn., July 24 There is
scarcely a doubt but that the troops will
move to Coal Creek before noon today.
Two Gatling guns will be mounted on
Hat cars and thus the troops will enter
Coal Creek. But there is not much dan
ger of bloodshed, as the miners say not
a gun will be fired.
I.ATHR.
Knoxvii.le, July 24 There is no
change in the situation this afternoon.
The troops still remain in Knoxyille and
all is quiet at Coal Creek ana Briceville.
Another and tinal conference will proli
ably be held this afternoon between the
governor and the representatives of the
miners.
The sheriff of Anderson county, the
seat of the mining troubles, has dis
appeared. The Governor will hold an
other consultation as soon as the sheriff
can be found.
Some influential representatives ot
labor organizations advise the miners to
recede from their positson and agree to
active armistices (or 60 davs, and there
is hope that a peaceful solution will be
reached in that way, It is known that
Governor t.uchanaii will not under any
circumstances seriously consider any
thing which has the appearance of com
promising the state.
The troops will not move for several
hours if at all today. Vast stores and
arms are going to the miners, and the
delay has given them much encourage
ment. Ihey now sav thev will fight.
President Harrison may have to extend
aid, as the State is threatened with an

The opinion of Attorney-General
Pickle, rendered this morning, with
regard to the right of the governor, un
der the law, to call out the State militia
is to the effect that the governor cannot
call out the militia, but thev may be
used as a posse. This complicates the
situation, as tne militia leel that they
are under no more obligation to serve as
a posse than other citizens of the State.
and that is lowering the dignity of the
military branch of the State service. So
tar as can be seen there is no danger of
any serious trouble anwhere today.
It is said on w hat seems to be good
authority that arms are being purchased
in rvnoxvnie lor the use of persons in
the neighborhood of Coal Creek. In
vestigation shows that in the past 24
nours tnere nave been an unusually
large number of calls at Knoxville hard
ware stores for Winchester rifles.
It is said 500 men in the vicinity of
Williamsburg, Ky., are ready to come
to the aid of miners at Coal Creek. A
telegram was received from a Pennsyl
vania mining town, proposing contribu
tions of money and also men if necessary.
At no time has the situation appeared
more serious, though there will be no
conflict until the governor moves the
convicts.

The lumbermen are all thoroughly

notified the Italians that unless Passuzzi

San Fuancinco, July 20 The' Chron
icle says : .Mrs. James hrown Potter and
Kyrle llellew were married in Hong
Kong just before the Belgic sailed from
that port on her last trip. The informa
tion was given to a Chronicle reporter
last night by Dr. Gaylord, . surgeon
of the Belgic. The doctor also
says that when liellew and Mrs.
Potter, now Mrs. Bellow, landed in
Hongkong they were, in common par
lance, dead broke. "You know," said
Dr. Gaylord, "that Mrs. Potter and
Kyrle liellew have been touring British
India, Australia and China for several
months. They have been traveling
alone, that is, without a company of
players, and-giving the balcony scene
irom 'Romeo and Juliet,' and various
other two-character acts. They have
also been playing leading parts in
1 1 ram as with amateur theatrical com
panies as their support. They were
very successful, I am told, and it
is said that in Sydney, Aus
tralia, alone they cleared 5000. But
they have been living high, and it does
not take long for wine dinners, excur
sions with lords and ladies as your guests
and hotel accommodations at, say 20
a week each, not including extras, to
use up even $25,1)00.
"Anyhow," said the doctor, "they
are man and wife and when the Belgic
leit China they were broke, flat broke."
" Yon see," continued theBelgic's sur
geon, "over there (indicating everything
in tlie Orient by a wave of his hand;,
English sjjeaking people are a
good deal more strict about mat
ters concerning the character of
the men and women they en
tertain socially than they are even in
England or America. That is why the
marriage of Kyrle liellew and Mrs.
Potter created a sensation, be
cause every one thought that
they had been married years ago.
They had been traveling together right
along, and, while observing the outward
proprieties as actor and actress, had al- .
lowed it to be generally understood that
they were man and wile, but suddenly
it was noised about that Mrs. James
Brown Potter had received a cablegram
announcing the fact that her husband
had succeeded in securing a divorce in
this country, and the announcement of
her marriage with Bellew followed.
"I should not wonder," continued the
doctor, "if the fact that the doors of
certain houses where they had been
welcome guests before the news became
public were suddenly closed against,
them had something to do with their
leaving lor England, as I see they are
reported to have done."
Mrs. Potter's relatives in New York
denied that she had been divorced by
her husband, and the likelihood is that
the divorce and marriage story waB
devised to make things easier for both.
It is said that in India and Australia
Mr. and Mrs. Bellew, as they were
known socially, distinguished " them
selves by consuming immense quantities
of champagne and giving costly din
ners. They had great success in their
ventures, and, as already stated, made
large sums in the various large cities
which they have visited, but their lavish
hospitality and expenditures exhausted
their bank account as fast as it was re
plenished. Wi ll UOIIB, JuilZB I
