The national president stated that so far as the miners’ side of | the controversy concerned the situ- ation had not changed in the least. Mitchell’s attention was called to the fact that the city of Philadelphia had | contracted for a supply of bituminous ccal to take the place of the anthracite which had been cut off by the railroad ccmnpanies furnishing it. In reply to a question as to whether the mine workers | would attempt to prevent the shipment of seft coal to places where hard coal Is used, he said: “Considering the proposition in a_gen- eral way, 1 will say that we do not desire to make any city a victim or have any person suffer because of our quarrel with | the coal companies.” He was press@d for a more explicit statement, but refused to go in it any deeper, except to say that it was a mat- ter which would have to be settled by the three executive boards of the anthracite fields. They will meet here on Wednesday. Judging by the action of the union during the last strike, when efforts were made to stop the shipment of soft coal into au- thracite territory, it is not unlikely that the miners may take similar action within the next few days. Two carloads of foreigners left the Hazleton region to-day. Most of them were booked for New York, whence they will sail for their native countries. Most of the foreigners will seek work in the bituminous region. ENDS LIFE BECAUSE HE LOSES POSITION Senior Master of a Portland Academy Commits Suicide With Revolver.

JAGHT COLLIDES WITH FERRY-BORT Accident Occurs During Heavy, Early Morn- ing Fog. Another Passenger Steamer Crashes Into a Rail- road Float. NEW YORK, May 19.—The Staten Isl- and ferry-boat Middletown was in collision with the steam yacht Aileen this morn-| ing. damaged and J. C. Atterbury of New Brighton, Staten Island, a passenger on the Middletown, was killed. The ferry| steamer was loaded with passengers and the collision created a great deal of ex- citement, but no one eise has been re- ported hurt. Both vessels were bound up the bay when the yacht suddenly ap- peared out of the fog and struck the ferry- boat on the starboard side, just forward of the wheelhouse. The bowsprit of the vacht penetrated the men’s cabin and ‘was broken off. Beyond this the yacht apparently sustained no further damage and proceeded on her way. The Aileen belongs to Richard Stevens of the New York Yacht Club. The ferry-boat Mauch Chunk of the Central Raliroad of New Jersey collided with a railroad float off the Battery to- day. The Mauch Chunk had a number of passengers aboard and her captain did not back out from the float for fear that the water would rush in at the hole made by the collision. The float and ferry-boat drifted down the bay together, and as there was a heavy fog were soon lost to sight from shore.” The ferry-boats East- ern and Castleton went out to stand by the Mauch Chunk and take off the pas- sengers if necessary. i All the passengers were taken off the Mauch Chunk by the Eastern and were landed in Jersey City. - No one was hurt. The float which collided with the Mauch Chunk_belonged to the Baltimore and Ohio Railréad. It was being towed by the tug Eliconine. There were about fifty passengers on the ferry-boat, and for a time there was much excitement.

J., ‘Will Possibly Be the New Manager. The successor of E. P. Vining as man- ager of the United Railroads will be ap- pointed by the directors on Friday. It is generally known that George F. Chapman, who resigned his position with the New- a1k (N. J.) Streetcar Company, will be appointed to the post. Acting President Holland says that to announce the successor of E. P. Vining et this time would be ill-advised, as no action has yet been taken by the direc- tors of the road. From his remarks, how- cver, it could be clearly understood that George F. Chapman is Holland's choice. In answer to a question as to when the all-night car service would go into effect Fresident Holland said the matter was receiving careful consideration, and it would be a question of only a short time when the company would come to a final decision. — e Turned State’s Evidence.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, May 15, The question of whether Mrs. Carelina Marsellis of West Berkeley was murdered has been entirely subordinated to the quarrel between Coroner Mehrmann and Dr. Charles F. Gladding of West Berke- ley. Dr. Gladding is in possession of the deathbed statement of Mrs. Marsellis, which will probably go far toward set- tling this question, and yet he absolutely refused to-night to state to the Coromer what the woman had told him. As a re- sult of this refusal Coroner Mehrmann placed Dr, Gladding under arrest and or- dered him to appear for sentence on Fri- day evening for contempt of the Coroner. Coroner Mehrmann supports the autop- sy physicians, Drs. F. HP Payne and Hu- bert N. Rowell, ‘that the bruises and rup- tures were ante-mortem, and does not credit the statement made by Dr. Glad~ ding that these marks were post-mortem. Meanwhile Frank Lewis, who is other- wise known as “Jeff” Lewis, has ap- peared, but the only information that he will give is that he holds the same mys- tery as Dr. Gladding and that he will not divulge what he knows.
