MITGKFLL APPROVES OF THE COMMISSION. Executive Boards Ga?i Conven? tion to Accept Proposition. Rejoicing io KSfoe Region at Certainty of Early Resumption of Mining. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Oct. 16.-The executive boards of three anthracite districts of the United Mine Workers of America, in joint session today un? animously decided to recommend to a delegate convention of striking min? ers, tho acceptance of the arbitration proposition submitted by the president o'f the United States and it is reason? ably certain that the advice will be followed and the great struggle brought to a close. The convention will be convened in this city Monday morning and it is the hope and the belief of tne officers of the union that mining of coal will be resumed before the close of next week after a suspen? sion of more ; than five months; The citizens of 'the entire rejgion are much elated that .the strike is almost over, because business in the coal fields has been practically paralyzed" since the strike began. From the time the news was receiv? ed late last night until about 10 o' clock this morning there was some doubt as to how the .miners would receive the modified plan. President Mitchell - was asked to-make some expression , cf the proposition but he /steadfastly re? fused. He was pressed by the cor? respondents for a statement and final? ly at 10 o'clock he cleared up the situation by issuing the following: Wikeslaarre, Pa., Oct. 16, 1902. Appreciating the anxiety and im? patience of the public and the mine workers for some authoritative state? ment from this office, I issue this bul? letin to say that I was unalterably opposed to the acceptance of or ac? quiescence in the form of settlement proposed by. the coal operators because it restricted ; the president of the United States in making selection of the. men who were to determine the questions involved in the coal strike. These restrictions having been remov? ed and representtion given to organiz? ed labor as well as to organized capi? tal/ I am now prepared to give my per? sonal approval to a settlement of the issues involved in the strike by the commission selected by the president, and shall recommend to the executive officers of districts 1, 7 and 9, in their meeting today that an immediate call be issue for a convention whose au? thorization is necessary to declare the strike at an end. In the meantime I trust that the peop ie of ocr country will be as patient as possible as we are moving as rapid h ly as the interests of our people will permit (S?gned) John Mitchell, President United Mine Workers of America, When this was read to the arriving district leaders and groups of miners who came to headquarters to leam* the news, general satisfaction was, express? ed that Mr. Mitchell was willing to ac? cept the modified plan and from that -time on there was no doubt that the -strike would be-brought to a speedy .close. ?j ?uban-American Treaty. J Eabana, Oct. 16.-Business men who "have been called in to consult with President Palma on the proposed Ou-. b.an-American commercial treaty feel assured that the cabinet will approve the proposition of the United States and that it will be sent to congress within a few days for adoption. There is some fear that the radical element in congress will object to approving any commercial treaty without first settling the question of coaling sta? tions and without being informed clear? ly ?n "the intention of the United States with regard to the enforcement of the Platt amendment. The commercial treaty submitted to Cuba Dy Washington is practically the Bliss tariff schedule which was * drawn up just before the American military government withdrew from the island and which leaves the pres? ent duty in force against all other na? tions but gives the United States a differential of from 20 to 60 per cent. In return the United States offers Cuba a reduction in duties of 20 per cent. A Farce in Puerto Rico. San Juan, P. R., Oct 16.-The election registrations have been a com? plete farce. The Federals were shut out in a majority of the precincts of the island, due to an order of the ex? ecutive council placing a majority of Republicans on each board. At Vieques eight insular policemen guard? ed the booth, no Federals were admit? ted and none registered. In many towns there have been no Federal registrations and in consequence sev? eral towns, in addition to Cay ey, the Federals formally retired from the election. In order to remedy this the supervisor of elections allowed an ex-1 tra registration day, yesterday, but i with the same result Although in? structions were wired to all the pre? cincts to protect the right of the Fed? erals they were uniformly disregard? ed. Wherever Federals attempted to register there was more or less disor? der. Shooting affairs occurred at Agua dilla, Corozal, Vieques and Mayaguez. Some persons were wounded but there were no fatalities. Wholesale arrests of Federals were made and thousands of protests and charges have been filed. The Athens, Ga., Banner doesn't mince matters, but talks out frankly as follows: "The wholesale men and the professional men of Athens should do something toward the support of tnt- iiv.-al newspapers. The newspa? pers cr- continually pulling for the eiMHinu^ity in which they are published and. as a rale, they are very poorly rxrl'i for this service." Forty Years' Torture. To be relieved from a torturing disease after 40 years' torture might well cause the gratitude of anyone. That is what De? witt's Witch Hazel Salve did for C. Haney, Geneva, O. He says: tvDe Witt's Witch Hazel Salve cured me of piles af i er I had suf? fered 40 years." Cures cuts, hnrns, wound3, skin diseases. Bewp.r3 of counterfeits. J. S. Hoghscn & Co, ANOTHER ERUPTION OF SOUFRIERRE I Island of St. Vincent Devastated by Flames and Volcanic Ashes Extent of Damage Uunknown. .Kingstown, St. Vincent, Oct. 16. A terrific eruption of the Soufriere volcano commenced last night. During the preceding day (Tuesday) earth tremors apparently too slight to be considered important were experi? enced in the central and northern parts of the island. At 8 o'clock last night there were indubitable indications of an eruption. I Rumbling noises were heard, they increased until 9 o'clock, when the roaring volcanic giant belched out its deadly contents. This eruption was ! followed by a brief . lull. Then, from ? 10 o'clock until 4 o'clock this morn? ing the upheaval continued. The out? break was accompanied by an incessant and confused canonading. There were incandescent clouds and sparkling mat? ter was ejected. After 4 o'clock the disturbance gradually decreased but the noise of the boiling caldron is still audible. in /the districts near the vol? cano.. Both craters of the Soufri?re were apparently active . and have been steaming all day long. Sand fell heavily everywhere from half past one until ?alf past three this morning. At southern points the sand is half an inch deep, tue; depth gradually in? creased towards the volcanic cone, where there were showers of large stones, pebbles and cinders. Kingston and other southern points of the island have not been damaged. Reports from the Windward district are awaited. The sand ejected (Siring this eruption has a stronger sulphur? ous odor than any previously thrown cut, and one superficial square foot of it weighs exactly one pound. Bridgetown, Island of Barbados, Oci. 16.-Volcanic dust from the Soufri?re Tolcano on the island of St. Vincent is falling here and has caused a stop? page of business. The shopkeepers are closing .their stores and are return? ing to their homes. It was so dark at 10 o'clock this morning that it was necessary to light the lamps. Basse Terre, Island of Guadeloupe, Oct. 16.- Between midnight and 3 o'clock this morning loud detonations were heard and glimmering lights were seen in the-direction of the Is? land of Martinique. There were two earthquakes yesterday at Les Saintes islands, off the southern end of Gaudeloupe and at Marie Galante isl? and southeast of Gaudeloupe. ?CBT? RI??LR? Between a Negfo Church and a Kegro Street Preacher. The rivalry between the colored Con? gregational Church and a negro preach? er by the name of Sid Walker, has be? come so, acute that the police are apt to interfere in the near future. The church in question is located some distance on Campbell street. Sid, who says he is simply "a man serving God," is really a neighbor of the church. The charge is that every time ser? vices or Sunday School is held in the church, Sid, who bas a room near, opens up in opposition. Evidently he can out-preach the church people, for they are complaining. The charge is that Sid peaches so loud and hammers/ the table so industriously that the. congregation in the church are forced to suspend. As Sid is a poor hand at quiting, he usually succeeds in put? ting he church out of business. It is further charged' that Sid proaches on the?e occasions only to oppose the churqb, and that he rarely ever has a congregation. / The police have yet to hear Sid's side of the case. They are also debat? ing how to restore peace, as they know of no law that forbids a man'preach? ing in his own house. Under these circumstances ^;he police are forced to wait for further developments.-Au? gusta Chronicle. The Civil-War in Venezuela. Washington, October 1G.-A cable? gram recieved at the State department today from Unied States Minister Bowen, at Caracas, dated last night, read: "Battle Victoria continuing." It is believed here that Castro is mak? ing his last stand at this point and that the fate of the revolution will- be determined by this engagement. CASTRO AT THE END OF HIS ROPE. Willemstad, Island of Curacoa, Wed? nesday, October 15.-The battle near La Victori?,. Venezuela, between the I army commanded by President Castro and the revolutionary forces, which began Monday morning, and resulted in the retirement of President Castro ta La Victoria on Tuesday afternoon, was resumed again fiercely at 5 o'clock Wednesday morning. At "that time the President had received reinforce? ments and had over 6,000 men en? gaged against 7,000 revolutionists. The artillery played a part never be? fore seen in Venezuela. Shortly be? fore 5 o'clock Wednesday afternoon the revolutionists appeared to have gained a slight advantage. The Presi? dent's artillery, which numbered fifteen guns, has been reduced to four guns. La Victoria was crowded with wound? ed and there were no provisions in the town. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson says there is the normal supply of meat in the West, with plenty of fat cattle and there is no reason any'longer for high prices. He says the packing houses have put down their prices to the wholesale trade and they in turn should lower prices to the consumer. Stricken with Paralysis. Henderson Grimett, of this place, wa st ricki n with partial paralysis and com pletely lost the use of one arm and side. Af ter being treated by an eminent physician for quite a while without relief, mj wife re? commended Chamberlain's Pain Balm, and after using two bottles of it he is almost entirely cured.-Geo. R. McDonald, Man, Logan county, VV. Va. Several other very remarkable cures of partial paralysis have been effected by the use of this liniment. It is most widely known, however, as a cure for rheumatism ,sprains and braises. Sold by Dr. A. J. China. A MICHIGAN MAN MURDERS THREE PEOPLE Because His Wife Enters Suit for Divorce. . Mount Pleasant, Mich., Oct. 16.-?As the bloody sequel of a divorce suit, Archie Woodin, 23 years old, is under arrest here charged with a triple mur? der and this community was shocked today" by a bloody tragedy in which Mrs. Woodin's parents and the prison? er's 18-montbs-oid daughter, were shot and killed. Woodin was over-powered just as he had turned the weapon upon himself and had inflicted a wound that is not expected to prove fatal. He visited the court this morning ,about 9 o'clock and looked over the papers in a >uit for divorce which his wife instituted Oct. 10. From there he went directly to Isbel's hardware store where he purchased a revolver. There was no interruption in his career of crime, from the moment his hands let go of the legal papers in the court house until his victims lay dead in two farm houses six miles apart. Having secured the 'weapon he first rode his wheel to the Gulick farm, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Gulick being the first victims. Mr. Gulick wasxsjiot twice, once above the heart and once in the right side, and was instantly killed. Woodin then turned upon his mother-in-law, who was sitting in a rocking chair, and shot her in the throat. She ran into the kitchen and fell upon her back. Woodin followed and emptied- three chambers of his revolver into her breast, killing her. A 14-year-old daughter of Gulick came in at the sound of the first shots and seeing the blood on her mother's neck, ran to the neighbors and gave the alarm. While running down the road she heard the last three shots. The murderer then, dashed to his mother's home six miles away. He rode his wheel for one mile, then tear? ing off his coat and throwing it with his bicycle into a fence corner, ran a mile and a half through the fields. He made the last four miles on a bor? rowed horse. Passing the time of day with a^group of apple pickers on his mother's farm, he entered the house as though nothing unusual had hap? pened, and picking up his little girl, carried her into an empty room. In a moment a shot rang out. There Were Thirteen Steps. (Ftom the Birmingham, Ala., Age Herald; ) Slowly the list of deaths resulting from Friday's panic at the Shiloh Bap? tist Church continues to expand. One of the peculiar things of the affair^ which escaped notice nntil Sunday Was* discussed freely and awesomely by many of the negroes given even slight? ly to suspicion. This statement is that the number of . steps upon which the victims were crushed is thirteen, the number of steps leading to the first landing is thirteen and the panic oc? curred on Friday. To some of the older negroes, whose superstitions re? ceived full development long years ago, the statement of these conditions ex? plains the entire affair. They say that act or acts, no matter by whom done, could have prevented the panic, and that Ballon, the negro lawyer, who, it is said, started the stampede, slfculd at once be released from jail. They think this explains the whole occur? rence, and during the day they could not be persuaded to walk into the church without skipping at least one step. Of course this superstition is not taken seriously by the pastor of the church and the more sensible negroes. Conductors and Motormen Blamed. Pittsfield, Mass.,-Oct. 15.-The find? ing in the inquest following the acci? dent in which President Roosevelt's body guard, Wm. Craig, was killed here last September, filed today, says that "the unlawful acts of James T. Kelly, conductor and Euclid Madden, motorman," of the electric car which ran into the president's carriage, "contributed" to the death of Mr Craig. The finding was by special Justice Chas. L. Hibbard. Justice Hibbard finds that the horses attached to the president's car? riage were going at a rate of six miles an hour and the car at from 15 to '25 miles an hour. He also finds that there was a misunderstanding on the part of the street car companies of the city as to what thoroughfares were to be closed to traffic during the presi? dent's passage through the streets. No evidence, the report saysr was found to show that the car was run? ning at regular schedule or that the officials of the road had given any orders for it to be run otherwise than under normal conditions. A General of Militia. Columbia, Oct 16.-South Carolina's reorganized militia has at last reached the dignity of a brigade. There are now in the service of the State three full regiments of infantry, so the Ad? jutant General's office announced to? day. It is the first time in some years that the State has had a full brigade, the infantry force heretofore, consist? ing of a battalion and two regiments. The fact that the State now has a brigade will almost necessarily lead to the commissioning of a brigadier gen? eral, and it is not unlikely that before the end of the week the order forming the brigade and naming the brigadier will be issued. It is understood that a well-known military officer will re? ceive the commission. ? T)rpical South African Store. O. R. Larson, of Bay Villa, Sunday. River, Cape Colony, conducts a store typi? cal of South Africa, at which can be pur? chased anything from the proverbial "needle to an anchor."' This store is situat? ed in a valley nine miles from the nearest railway station aud about twenty-five miles from the nearest town. Mr. Larson says: '*I am favored with the custom of iarmers within a radius of thirty miles, to many of whom I have supplied Chamberlain's re? medie.-. All testify to their value in a household where a doctor's advice is al? most out of the question. Within one mile of my store the population is p rhaps sixty. Of these, within the past twelve months no less than fourteen have been absolutely cured by Chamberlain Cough Remedy. This must surely be a record." For sale by Dr. J. A. China. THE TOBACCO MARKET. Wilmington. N. C., Working Fer a Pdarkei. i ^The business raen of Wilmington, i N. C., having become convinced that ! the establishment of a tobacco market ! in that city and the encouragement j of tobacco growing in the vicinity would be of great and t?erament benefit to Wilmington have been working for sometime to secure the establishment of a warehouse. The Chamber of Commerce has taken the lead in the movement and has made a thorough investigation of the business in North Carolina, having sent a committee on a tour of inspection and investigation to the leading markets cf that State. In the Wilmington Star of the 5th instant there is a report of a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce to re? ceive the report of one of the com mitteees and to discuss the tobacco market question. The Star states that every member of the body was present and that "the formal written report, which was supplemented verbally ,and by letters in such a manner as to leave no doubt of tjae desirability of a suc? cessful consummation of the venture in the minds of the entire body." The report was as follows : . Wilmington,-N. C., Oct. 14, 1902. Mr. M. W. Jacobi, Chairman Com? mittee on Industrial and Business Enterprises, Wilmington, N. C. Dear Sir :-Your Committee would respectfully report that, in accordance with your instructions, we have visited Goldsboro and Kinston, viewed the tobacco warehouses, prize houses and stemmeries, and are fully impressed with the belief, that Wilmington has as good advantages as either, and in some respects better, for the establish? ing of this business ; that it is purely a business proposition, and if taken hold of in earnest, with the necessary amount of capital, it can be made pro? fitable to those taking stock in the warehouses, and of immense value to the community at large. The evidences of thrift at Goldsboro directly traceable to the sale of tobacco were numerous, and without excep? tion, every merchant there with whom we talked was enthusiastic ! about it. At Kinston the transforma? tion of the towri within ten years is sufficient evidence of the wealth pro? ducing power there is in the handling of tobacco. What was ten years ago an old field, is today the busiest scenes of activity and the handsomest part of the city, representing invest? ments exceeding a million dollars. We have studied the question as closely as we could, and are convinced' from wbat we have seen that it is possible within seven or eight years, the length of time these two points have been tobacco markets, to make of Wilming? ton a greater market than either of them, and that it can be made pro? fitable, to all concerned, from the start. The average amount received by the producers of tobacco this year, in the sections visited, is ano ut $106 per acre. Compare this with cotton, at ?15 per acre, and consider that it costs no more to produce one than the other. Respectfully. Wm. E. Worth, Geo. 0. Gaylord. SOMETHING ABOUT DiAVOLO. Coming With Forepaugh and Sells Broth? ers to Sumter Next Thursday. Forepaugh and Sells Brothers' big shows were in Augusta Monday and the Chronicle says: The great attraction of the show is Diavolo. He is a native of Corpus Christi, Texas. His name is E. B. Vandervert. He has been doing this act about eight months. He rides a very heavy seventy-six pound wheel and is not tied or attached to it in any way. It is said he gets 81,000 per week, and the man who patented the loop receives Q?00 per week. "To say that I have no sense of fear when performing the feat," Diavolo said in answer to a question, "would not be true. The stoutest heart that eyer beat will quake, I believe, when taking this ride. My rate of speed at the highest point is sixty miles an hour, and when the conversion of force takes place just at the top of the loop, when the law of gravity would seem to pull me down and the momen? tum hurls me forward all sensation leaves the brain, and momentarily I know nothing. But for all the rest of the tripr I am perfectly myself, and could see a pin on the side of the loop." When asked if he always fol? lowed the broad iron band in the inside of the loop. Diavlo said : "I usually do, but if there are those among the spectators skeptical of my ability to guide the wheel I will some? times leave the band'and take another track." "How did the/idea come to me to make the ride? I had worked at Coney Island and the Pan-American Exposi? tion on the loop the loop car. I sup? plied power for the car and was usual? ly in it when it went around and in this way the sensation of making the loop disappeared entirely. I was as much at home when making it as when walking the ground. The notion came to me," he continued, "that I could make a bicycle do what the car did, although I had never ridden professionally, I proved that I could do it and got backing to build this loop. Then this show heard about it and engaged me. Natural Anxiety. Mothers regard approaching winter with uneasiness, children take cold so easily. No disease costs more little lives^than croup.

Generally Believed in But Never Existed j * -Strange Hold of An Untruth. j One cf the most widely current and inexplicable fallacies that are gener? ally believed is called to mind by the ? coming of the Adam Forepaugh and ; Sells Brothers Enormous Shows Unit? ized. -It is the silly twaddle about big shows dividing and showing in small cities and towns in different sections of the country on the same day and then coming together again in the large cities and showing as on exhibi? tion. It is, as a matter of fact, one of the most absurd ideas in the world, and persons ordinarily sane upon every other subject will persist in believing that such things are done, notwith? standing the fact that it is absoultely so much without foundation in fact that such a thing has never even once been attempted much less being done as a regular custom. It would be just as easy to cut a horse in two and send him up two roads at one time and then when a main road is reach? ed put him together again. It is simp? ly a physical impossibility for such shows to be first divided and then united, and keep the public in ignor? ance of it. Any man who could in? vent a system that would make such a thing possible wonld have a fortune. It never has been done, it is not done nor will it, in all human probability, ever "be done by these shows or any others. So, when the Adam Fore? paugh and Sells Brothers Shows comes here they will be exactly the same as. they were in New York. Brooklyn, Philadelphia and all the cities they have visited this season, and if anyone wants to gamble on h there is no possible chance of losing any money waged on that proposition, no matter what anyone says or be? lieves. They will be here in all their entirety on Thursday Oct. 23. YOW XIPUR. The Jewish Day of Atonement. The tenth day of the seventh month -Tish ri-is the most important and most solemn of-all the holy days in the Jewish faith. It is the day of atone? ment, on which "God will forgive you, declaring you purified from all your sins before the Lord." "Shall you purify yourselves?" (Leviticus ?6, 30. ) It is a day of fasting, prayer and repenting, confession of sins and supplication to God for forgiveness. The fasting begins on the ninth day of Tishri, which will occur this year October 10 about sunset, and last un? til the beginning of night on the fol? lowing day. "And this shall be a statute forever unto you ; that in the seventh month, on the tenth day of ttie month, ye shall afflict yourselves. ' ' (Leviticus 16, 29.) "And it shall be unto you a Sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict yourselves in the ninth day of the month at even ; from even unto even shall ye celebrate your Sab? bath." (Leviticus 28; 32. ) There are five services on the day of atonement-(I) evening service (Mai roe), (2) morning service (Shacbrithj, (3) additional services (Musof), (1) afternoon service (Mincha and (5) con? cluding service (Niloh). An essential element in all these services is the confession. Not only must the wor? shippers confess their sins before God, but they must also regret that they have sinned and resolve to abstain from sinning in the future. The con? fession is made by the whole congre? gation collectively, and those,who have not themselves committed the sins regret that the were unable to prevent them from being committed by others. The form of the confession is therefore in the plural-"we have been guilty.
