Subsequently Hermans told a story of her departure from the city and afterward pawned jewelry belonging to her. His story-- of Miss Samuelson's going away was found in time to have been false. Hermans is also believed to have killed one of his three wife who died at Williston, Minn., under suspicious circumstances. His standing at that time was so good that tlie inquiries set on foot by tlie coroner were stopped. lk-put- y h CIGANTIC COAL STRIKE. Miners of Imlliiim, Ohio, Transylvania and ! West Virginia Involved. Cleveland, ()., July 13. One of the greatest strikes this country has ever known is now in progress. Nearly all the coal mines of Indiana, Ohio, and West Virginia qnit one week ago, demanding an increase of Tenn-sylvan- ia wages. About 00.000 men are involved. No violence has been attempted, and none is expected. In the few districts in Ohio and West Virginia, where the miners are working, the companies have voluntarily increased wages to keep tlie men at work, but while the miners are satisfied with their own condition, they are in hearty sympathy with the strikers and may go out at any moment. As a result a coal famine is imminent. Railroads are confiscating all coal in transit on their lines, to ward off a shortage. Small dealers can get no supplies, and the price of coal is jumping up. Factories will have to (dose in a few weeks unless the strike is settled. What is true of Cleveland is true of almost every city in this section of the country. From advices received from Iowa miners it is probable that a majority vi the 10.000 now working will join in the strike. Their wages have been repeatedly cut, but their chief grievance is that Iowa coal is lieing shipped into tlie striking districts. ' In Indiana Governor Mount is taking au active interest in the struggle. He sides with the miners, and will appoint a commission to investigate conditions and report. His particular aversion is the company stores where tlie men arc compelled to trade. JOHN EGAN FOUND DEAD. I'ltilenlalile Ktlilriuv of Foul 1'lay Thrra Arrest Mails. Halt Luke City, July 12.

A Miraculous From Death. Ilnise, Ida., July 10 Frank Hasland of Horse Slice is in the city with two big holes in his bead and wondering how it is that he is alive. Mr. is a farmer and had a most miraculous escape from dealh. He was driving over a bridge across a tributary of the Pa.vettc river, when the bridge collapsed and lliislund and his team and wagon were precipitated fifteen feet into the stream, which was greatly swollen by heavy rains. One of the heavy-- Wains of tlie bridge struck one of the horses, crushing its head and killing it instantly. The other animal was almost disemboweled, but swam over a mile, dragging bis dead helpmate, and finally- - reached land, subsequently dying. Hasland was carried with the horses and debris into tlie Payette river. He was hit on the head and dazed, hut when he aroused to a full realization of his peril he liegan an heroic struggle for life. For Hn hour he battled in the swift ' running stream with the inasa of debris, finally landing in a state of complete collapse. As soon as possible be was brought to lioise to have his injuries attended. Jlrjan to Speak at Nampa. Boise, July JO. An effort has been made to induce William J. Bryan, the silver leader, to stop at lioise. P. A. Regan, who has been corresponding with him with this end in view, has received a letter from Mr. Bryan stating that he cannot come,- but will be pleased to deliver a short address at Nampa, the junction on the Oregon Short Line to Boise. A large delegation will go to Nampa from lioise and surrounding towns to greet tlie white metal champion. Mr. Bryan will pass through Nampa on the 14th. The reason assigned for declining an invitation to visit Boise is that liis arrangements are such that he cannot make the trip here and get to Suit Lake in time for the opening of tlie congress, of which he is president.

News liSi reached here of the killing of 130 head of sheep belonging to Mrs. Kate Welch, on Canyiyi creek, abont 15 miles from Canyon City. Six men wearing masks first went to the camp and, covering the herder and camp tender with their rifles, ordered them to give up their guns, which they at once did. They broke the rifles of the camp tender and after shooting the loads out of the herder's gun, handed it back. They then emptied their guns into the herd of slieep, which was camped for tlie night. Sheep owners who live here are expecting serious trouble. A Chllil Itonstmllo Death.

MAYBRICK'S CASE. Vmldrat McKinley Will Alii the Prisoner in Her KrlraM. New York, July 13. A dispatch t the Herald from Washington says: The clianecs of the release of Mrs. Maybriek from Woking prison, England, are considered to lie more favorable than at any time during her imprisonment. Judge L. D. Yarrell of this city, counsel for Mrs. Maybriek, recently called on i'residcnt McKinley, and the president is understood to have held out much encouragement for the prisoner. Judge Yarrell says: My audience with the president was very pleasant, and was of som6 length. He appeared deeply interested in the matter, and the documents and letters which 1 submitted to liim were not given a mere passing glance, as tlie president considered them faithfully. I be! ieve he has instructed the proper persons to do all in tlieir power to secure a speedy release. Embassador Hay, as is known, lias alreudy presented tlie petition and papers asking Mrs. freedom, and I firmly believe she will secure it. Undoubtedly the greatest difficulty experienced in getting this unfortunate woman released is the seeming indifference oil the part of the people of Amcricn. They don't seein to care anything for her. They-- don't seem to care how long she remains iu prison. May-brick'- s The KuIIhii Dues Not Intend to Yield. Constantinople, July 12. Queen Victoria, Emperor William, Emperoi Nocholas, Iresidcnt Fauru and King Humbert have replied to the telegram received by them from the sultan, ami all gave advice similar to that sent by Emperor Francis Joseph. Emperor William says in substance that lie regrets his inability to disassociate himself from the views held by the other j iowoi-s- . Replies to a circular of the Turkish government to the powers relative to the frontier question have also been received by the uiiiiiassadors. They all decline to admit the Turkish pretensions. The porte has sent another circular to the powers, proposing that, ill view of the disturbed conditions existing in Crete, Turkey send reinforcements tc the islands. To this the powers have also replied, endeavoring to dissuade tlie porte from such a course. This later proposal on the part of the Turkish government is held to indicate that the sultan does not intend tn yield in regard to (lie frontier question. Tlie Hanker Not Drail. Iortland, Or..
