New Yorx, June 22.—Rumors that a gigantic coal trust is in process of formation stirred up Wall street yesterday, and were generally re- garded as not atall improbable, Some brokers said that an English syndicate had been formed to buy up all the coal companies and to guar- antee individual operators who would join the trast a profit of 25 cents per ton on all coal mined, Another report was that the alleged syndicate is entirely American and that Austin rbin and Sam Sioan are back of it. At the offices of the various coal roads nobody could be found who was willing to talk about the prepened coal trust. It is believed that the ef- forts which are now sh made to break the Reading voting trust are inspired by the syn- dicate, who can better carry their plan into effect with the Reading shares scattered, It would take an immense — to carry out the scheme, The market value of the stocks of the great coal roads and mining companies is $186,000,000. The companies which it would be necessary to have in the trust are the Read- ing, Lehigh Valley, Jersey Central, Lacka- wanna, Delaware and Hudson, Pennsylvania, and Lehigh Navigation. ——— A PITIFUL S?PORY. Aa Arkansas Farmer Loses His Wife and Seven Children in a Flood. Lrrttz Rock, June 22.—Although the loss of life im the Conemaugh valley was much greater, the result of that dreadful disaster still fresh inthe minds of those who have fol- lowed the newspaper accounts of the flood, it has a sequel, the facts of which were given last night to a Gazette reporter by Capt. “Newt.” Faulkinbury, the deputy United States mar- and a more pitiful story is rarely heard of ring as it did nearer hi On his trip to Conway and Van Buren coun- ties the other day he learned that during a heavy rainstorm in that section of the state Jast Saturday night an old man named Emmer- son had the misfortune to lose his wife and seven children in a flood. As near as he could learn there had been a tremendous rain near Clinton, the county seat of. Van Buren county, on the upper Red river, and it was near this place THE DISTRESSING SCENE TOOK PLACE. Emmerson, who is an old settler in Van Buren county, was with his family in his house at night when the storm was raging. After an hour's rain the water gradually flooded his house, and fearing danger inside he gathered two of his children in his arms and made for the door to escay As the door openeda huge log afloat dashed in the entrance and knocked the little ones from his arms. They fell at his feet into the swift current and were lost. He then took up two more, one in each arm, and succeeded in getting out with them safely, telling his wife to follow with the others, but in attempting to escape in the same manner the mother, with two children in her arms and three clinging to her dress, was carried with the flood and drowned, ONLY THE FATHER AND TWO ORILDREN SAVED. The father and two children, the only ones left in a family of eleven, escaped with their lives, The night was dark, and the father, with the only two survyjvors, stood in water above the waist, clingirff to a tree for several hours, and when the waters subsided in the morning @ search was made, and the dead bodies of the mother and seven children were discovered scattered here and there for a con- siderable distance around the place, the cloth- ing having caught in underbrush and the bodies held fast in that way. Two of the bodies were found in the garden lot, a short distance from the house, to where they had been carried by the force of the water, and others as far as sixty yards from the house, Capt. Faulkinbury saw a neighbor last Wed- nesday who said he had assisted in BURYING THE WHOLE FAMILY, Next day he was told that it was the heaviest storm that has ever visited that section of the state, describing it asa water spout, and al- though it lasted but a short while it worked a loss of life and property that cannot be easily estimated. The home of Mr. Emmerson isa total wreck, and he is almost distracted with grief. Further than this Capt. Faulkinbury could learn nothing definite, except that the loss of live stock and damage to property was ce If others suffered a like fate as befel mmerson, be was unable to find it out. besa onsite AN ELOPEMENT SENSATION, The Daughter of a Canadian Justice Weds a Railway Employe. Orrawa, Oxt., June 22.—A profound sensa- tion was created in social circles this morning when it became known that Mise L. Taschereau, daughter of Justice Taschereau, of the supreme court, and niece of Cardinal Taschereau, bad eloped a few days ago and returned to the city to-day the wife of Mr. W. L. Baird, an employe of the Canadian Atlantic ¥. ‘The Taschereau family is one of the ch families of Quebec, and many of its occupy high positions in church and state circles. Young ird is the sun of an English clergyman and came to Ottawa several years ago, securing a subordinate position as clerk in the offices of the railway. He became acquainted with Miss Taschereau about a year ago, and the young couple became fast friends despite the furious opposition of the young lady's family. The young couple met secretly and a few days ago they disappeared. To-day they returned to the city man and wife, having been married by a Protestant clergyman. The pa- rents and relations of the young lady threaten to take steps to have the marriage annulled, as she is Roman Catholic and was married, without the consent of her parents, by a Protestant clergyman. ba. car A.

Morris Adler Still Breathes, but His Death Hourly Expected. FRANK WARD'S LIFE IN JAIL—WHAT HE SAYS 4 REMARK ABOUT JEWS ATTRIBUTED TO HIM, Since yesterday afternoon there has been no change in the condition of Morris Adler, the young man who was shot by F. K. Ward on Tuesday night while the two were in the Mar- ble saloon. Adler's death may be looked for atany time, In fact, his living eo long is one of the peculiarities of the case which puzzles the doctors, He may possibly last for two or three days longer, but the general belief among those who are acquainted with the case is that dissolution will probably take place within twenty-four hours, FRANK WARD'S QUARTERS IN JAIL. Just as comfortable as man could be under the circumstances is F. K, Ward. Nowhere in the District is the sun’s intense heat less pow- erfal than it isin the United States jail, and the atmosphere in the institution is probably a8 pure as any that can be found along the shores of the Eastern branch. The most pleas- ant portion of the institution, so far as pris- oners are concerned, is the southern side, and in the third tier, in cell No. 102, is F. K. Ward. The cell is a double one, 10 feet square and 10 feet high, with ample light and ventila~ tion, It is the most attractive cell in the prison, for loving hands have contributed to make everything as comfortable as possible for the ence occupant, Bedding was furnished by Mrs, Ward, and in many places is there testi- mony of woman’s care and thoughtfulness, fated best is as neat and clean as a new pin, but the heavy walls, the barred windows, the massive locks and bolts, all bility’ of contentment—the p! reclude the possi~ is a prisonafter HIS LIFE IN THE PRISON, Mr. Ward has been an early riser for the last three mornings, and he has eaten a fair pro- portion of food. At 8 o’clock—the regular hour—he eats his breakfast, which ia served to him in a tin box, just as it is to the other pris- oners, The meal consists of half a loaf of wheat bread (about eight ounces), a tin quart cup of coffee, a fish, which may be either a mackerel or a herring, and potatoes, or hash. Besides this he has been served with beefsteak, which is left at the jail early every morning for him. The rules permit him this luxury, but the meat has to be prepared in the jail kitchen. From 9 to 3 o'clock Mr. Ward receives such visitors as he desires to see. They have been very numerous. Friends of to-day and friends of years ago have made baste to proffer their sympathy and their aid. Mra. Ward is a regu- lar visitor, Most of those who call see the risoner in the rotunda, but the authorities fave allowed the husband and wife to converse in the office. At3o’clock dinner is passed around in the tin boxes, A quart of the best vegetable soup cook ever compounded is the most palatable feature of this meal, Accompanying it is a ound of boiled beef. The prisoner may make Eis selection between half a pound of wheat bread or one pound of corn bread, Rice is also served. In addition to these articles of diet the regulations allow him to have ary fruit, jellies or preserves that frien may send him, In Mr. Ward’s case there have been many such delicacies, Mrs. Ward sees to it that he is supplied with all he can eat, He takes a fair amount of exercise in the corri- dor, but has not yet become accustomed to the situation, and naturally shrinks from meeting the other prisoners. Before his arrest Mr. Ward was s steady smoker, but now he con- sumes but little tobacco. By 8p. m. he ia in his cell, and in an hour is asleep, after havi eaten, as a lunch, the fruit and bread he save: from his dinner. To-morrow the 3 o'clock meal will be varied by the substitution of bacon and cabbage for beef. WARD'S WIFE AND SON VISIT HIM. This morning Mra, Ward, accompanied by their only child, a bright boy of about fifteen or sixteen years of age, hada Jong conversa- tion with her husband in the warden’s office. Mrs. Ward is doing her utmost to cheer her husband up and to prevent him from settling down into a condition of confirmed melancholy, In this she was quite successful to-day, but the effects of her visit soon wore off. Although it is very evident that Mr. Ward is Z to ® serious extent from depression, is certain that the change brought about by his act has not been injurious to his general health. Physically he has improved some- what. His eyes are clear as they were years ago and his color is more natural, Dr. Mc- Williams told a Star reporter that Ward's health was good in every respect. AN EMPHATIC DENIAL BY THE PRISONER, Noi long after Mrs. Ward’s departure the prisoner, who had returned to his cell, came down stairs to talk with Tux Star reporter. “I do want to say to you, most emphatically,” he began, ‘that i never used the remark at- tributed to me about ‘the Jew.’ No one ever heard me, in all my life, use the term ‘Jew’ in a disparaging way. For years I have deait among the Jews, and a great many of them are among my best friends to-day. They always treated me fairly and I liked to carry on busi- ness with them. Then, again, I never knew this man Adler was a Jew; I’m not sure that I knew his last name. To me he was ‘Morris,’ I had not the slightest idea as to who were his relatives. I did not kuow he was Henry Adler’s son until Wednesday morning when somebody told me at the police station. Why I have known the Adlers for years without ever sus- pecting that this man, who is one of the unfor- tunates in this affair, was any connection of theirs. A “COMBINATION OF CIRCUMSTAYCES.” “Do you know,” he continued, “that only a couple of hours before the shooting occurred I was going up 15th street, past the Treasury de- partment, in my wagon, andI met this poor fellow’s father. I asked him to jump in and ride up to see the wrecked canal, but he ex- cused Nhimeelt and went on his way down street. My having the pistol in my pocket was a clear accident. I never carried a pistol before in all my life.

How the City Will be Canvassed by the Finance Committee. FUNDS NEEDED TO ENTERTAIN THE 25,000 KNIGHTS AND THE THOUSANDS OF OTHER VISITORS Ex- PECTED—LIBERAL SUBSCRIPTIONS ALREADY ‘MADE—CANVASSING COMMITTEES APPOINTED. Mr. James E. Waugh, chairman of the finance committee of the coming Knights Templar conclave, stated to a Srax reporter to-day that there would be from 25,000 to 30,000 knights and their friends to be entertained by the knights of this jurisdiction at the conclave to be held in October next. The display will be one of the grandest, if not the grandest, ever witnessed in this city. Members uf the order from Winnipeg, Canada, and even representa- tives from Europe have signified their inten- tion to be present, To properly entertain their guests, the ways and means have been the sub- ject of consideration by the finance committee. This committee have decided that $50,000 is as small an amount as they can do with and give such entertainment to these visiting guests as shall properly honor our city, To the pres- ent time the following amounts have been sub- scribed by the commanderies: Washington Commandery, No. 1, $8,825; Columbia Com- mandery, No. 2, $7,900; Potomac Commandery, No. 3, $1,725; De Molay Commandery, No. 4, $4,225. But the citizens of the District, Mr. Waugh said, are also largely interested in this matter, as a large number of Templer visitors, most of them remaining four and five days, to- gether with those who may visit the city dur- ing the conclave as on-lookers,must necessarily leave a large amount of money among our hotels, merchants and others; probably not less | than $1,000,000, The Knights Templars there- fore feel that they may very properly ask of the citizens some financial aid in obtaining the sum they desire, and, believing that such appli- cation will meet with a hearty response, the finance committee has divided the§eity into dis- tricts and assigned to each a sub-committee to canvass the same and obtain subscriptions to the fund.
