NEW YORK, Sept. 2.—Jerry Hunter, the negro who shot a number of police- men and set fire to his house in Queens borough last night in an effort to escape rrest, was captured early to-day lecked up in the Astoria jail. In the fight between Hunter and those who tried to him eleven policemen, three citi- ens and Hunter's wife were wounded. Hunter, who helped her husband in his effort to escape, was taken to a hos- pital, where it was said to-day that she Hunter was the struggle when he was In a serious condition. badly beaten in was caught. John McKenna, a patrolman, was shot in the head and face. Both his eyes were destroyed and the wounds in his head are so serious that his recovery is thought to be doubtful. The citizens wounded were men who had been called upon by the police to aid in subduing Hunte The wounded: John O'Neil, New York, shot in the back and shoulder; William Ordman, Corona, L. I., buckshot wounds in shuyld»r; Willlam Thorpe, printer, New York, buckshot wounds in face; John McKenna, policeman, both eyes shot out, lips shot off, head fllled with buckshot, wounds likely fatal; Arthur Brill, policeman, one eye shot out, head, face and arms full of buckshot; Thomas Cassidy, policeman, cut on head and shoulders by saber wielded by Hunter's wite; Police Captain Thomas Dacy, slight gunshot wound in ear; Police Sergeam Downey, face filled with buckshot; Thom- as Grogan, policeman, shot in leg and head; Policeman Healy, shot in leg; Pat- rick Kernan, policeman, shot in leg; Frank Putz, policeman, shot in right leg: Thomas Rigney, policeman, shot in rignt leg and thigh; W.

Hunter was employed as caretaker of a large tract of land near North Branch, L. I. Yesterday he saw a man digging sand worms on the property and he shot at the intruder, who ran away and told Policeman McKenna what Hunter had done. McKenna ran to Hunter's home and was shot by the negro. The police reserves were called out then and a Slege began, which lasted until after 2 o'clook this morning. Every time a policeman moved from cover a shot would be fired. Fortunately for the police, Hunter seemed to have only a shotgun. Shortly after 2 o'clock this morning Hunter set fire to the house and tried to escape. Mrs, Hunter carried an old cavalry saber and with this she fought until overpowered, inflicting _severe' wounds on Patrolman Cassidy.

AVALON (Catalina Island), Sept. 2.— The first burglary ever recorded in the history of Santa Catalina occurred this morning between the hours of 12:30 and 5:30, when Dan Jerrue's liquor store was entered and robbed of about of which §184 70 was taken from the safe and the remainder from the slot machines. The safe was uninjured, being opened through working the combination.

Firing of a Mine Causes the Force of Guards to Be Doubled. BRAMWELL, W. Va., Sept. 2—The sit- uation in the Flat Top coal fields is ex-% tremely critical. A skirmish this morning | between the strikers and the guards at | the Pocahontas Coal Company, after the | firing of the mine by the strikers, has | greatly enraged the miners from the fact | that a number of their side were severely | injured. It is thought here that before | to-morrow night troops will be either in ! the Flat Top region or en route. To-night the Pocahontas Collieries Company has ' the fire in their mine pretically extin-| guished, but that compaay has doubled its force of guards, as another attack at | any hour is- feared. Many shots have been | fired from ambush toward the direction of the non-unon miners going to and from ‘ work in the Flat Top field. The Elkhorn ! region Is very quiet, no vioience having | been reported from that section to-night. ! CHARLESTON, W. Va., Sept. 2.—Gov- | ernor White to-day received a set of reso- | lutions reading: i At a_meeting of Local Unlon No. 442, United | Mine Workers of America, three hundred mem- bers petition you to send troops to Winona, i on Keenes Creek, to preserve order until thé | strike is settled. ! Troops are now located at Thurmond to pre- | | serve oraer. They were sent there at ihe in- | Stance of our Sherlff «nd while upon investiga- | tion it appears that call for troops was un- recessary and utter folly, yet we, as miners, are glad to have them. They are principally union men and in sympathy with our cause | and lcok upon the men working with the same contempt as we do. Judge Keller to-day heard the prelim- | inary motions in the contempt case against ! the strikers arrested at Rend, but ad-| journed the hearing of the main issue to | December 8. The defendants are charged | ! with violating the injunction issued by | Judge Keller In the sult of the Chesa- peake and Ohio Coal Agency Company. It is now likely that the case will never be heard, for if the strike shall be ended be- fore the court meets there would be no | one_interested enough to.prosecute it. | WILKESBARRE, Pa., Sept. 2. — The | Bliss Pettibone collieries of the Delaware, | Lackawanna and Western Company re- sumed operations to-day.

HARRISBURG, Pa., Sept. 2.—Governor Stone has agreed to meet on Thursday a committee from the State Executive | Board of Rallway Employes of Pennsyl- | vania_ to intercede with the executive In | behalf of the striking coal miners. The | committee will request the Governor to | take immediate steps to bring the strike | to a close, and, If necessary, to call an ex- tra session of the General Assembly for the enactment of legislation making arbi- tration compulsory. | OF INTEREST TO PEOPLE OF THE PACIFIC COAST | Several Changes Are Made in the| Postal Service and More Pen- sions Granted.

BUTTE, Mont., Sept. 2.—Increased in- terest was shown by the delegates to the Mining Congress to-day and the attend- ance was more than double when the ses- sion was called to order. Committees on credentials and perma- nent organization were appointed and will render their reports at the morning ses- sion to-morrow. An interesting feature of the programme was the address and origi- nal recitation of Captain Jack Crawford, the veteran scout. In all there were five addresses given to the Mining Congress to-day. They were by W. H. Frazer of Mullen, Idaho; ‘Waldemar Lindgren of the United States Geological Survey; Charles M. Reeves of the mining department of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, Ernest Dale Owen of Chicago and Mrs. Ella Knowles-Has- kell of Butte. Lindgren, after carefully tracing the formation of the gold-bearing veins, sub- mitted many figures showing the output of the yellow metal in North America. From the time of the discovery up to 1900 the United States has produced $2,360,000,- 000 of gold; Mexico at least $181,000,000, and probably twice as much, and British America $142,00,000. The most inportant gold belt of North America is that stretching along the Pa- cific Coast. Throughout this immense stretch of country the gold veins are ac- companied by great development of the placers and by far most of the yellow Tnetal has been obtained from the piacers. California has yielded from this belt $1,300,000,000; Oregon, $55,000,000; British Co- lumbia and Northwest Territory, $10,000,- 000, and Alaska $31,000,000. During 1900 the belt yielded $55,000,000. If no further discov- eries are made in this region it is the be- 1ef that these figure will rapidly decrease. California’s output will doubtless be main- tained at the present figure for many vears to come. It is believed that in- creased quartz mining will in some meas- ure compensate for the loss in the gold production. Frazer said in part: The man who locates a mining claim and goes to work upon the same for the purpose of developing should have a fair knowledge of mineral beds or bodles and the indications which point to him the place where such ore bodies may be found. The days of luck in mining operations are past and the man who to-day makes success of mining venture or investment must know the laws of mineral nature and have a keen intelligence of mininx overations, else he goes the way of failure and becomes a deterring in- strument to all advancement in the commu- nity and State in which he lives. It is intelligent mining that has made the mining States of the West the bulwark of the national treasury. It is intelligent mining that has placed $1,250,000,C00 worth of gold int. the kands of the people of the United States, ‘more gold by $500,000,000 than is owned by any other natlon on earth, and ‘this bulwark will last for ages hence, for there are yet billions of the yellow metal stored away in the silent treasure houses of the Rocky Mountains and it is being watched and guarded by an in- telligent and patriotic people who believe in the advancement, In the development and sta- bility of their country. Gravel and Lumber. Trains Collide. SANTA ROSA, Sept. 2.—A head-on col- lision between a gravel train on the North Shore Railway and a logging train of the Duncan Lumber Company oc- curred .yesterday at Duncan Mills. The accident occuired at a switch, and the reen saved themselves by jumping, with the exception of the engineer on the gravel train, who stayed at his post and was slightly injured. The logging en- gine was badly demolished. PRESS OF OFFICE WORK DELAYS GENERAL MILES Will Not Be Able to Leave Washing- ton for Philippines Before Wednesday. ‘WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.—A change has been made in the plans of Lieutenant General Miles announced last week. It was expected originally that he would leave' on his tour of inspection of the Philippines to-morrow and sail from San Francisco, on the transport Thomas Sep- tember 16. The pressure of work in his office at present is so great, however, that he feels he will not be abie to leave Washington before next Wednesday. General Miles has called a special meet- ing of the Army Board on Ordnance and Fortification for September 9, at which time it will begin preparation of its re- port and recommendation upon the sub- Ject of a new field gun for the army. The date named has been selected in order to insure the attendance of those mem- bers of the board who are at present en- gaged in the joint maneuvers. It is the understanding that General Miles in per- son will do the work of the board, and in case the revort is not drafted quickly his departure from Washington will be delayed until later in the month. BULLET WILL END LIFE OF CONDEMNED MURDERER Utah Prisoner Prefers Facing a Rifle Squad to Death on the Scaffold. SALT LAKE, Utah, Sept. 2.—Peter Mortensen, the condemned slayer of James R. Hay, secretary of the Pacific Lumber Company, was sentenged to death to-day for his crime. The date of exe- cution was fixed at October 17, between the hours of 10 a. m. and 2 p. m. The laws of the State of Utah give condemned murderers the privilege of choosing be- tween hanging and shooting and Mgrten- sen, when confronted with this * grim choice, preferred shooting. Mortensen, who was deeply affected, then arose and made a short speech strongly protesting his innocence. 2 e Accidentally Poisons Her Child. NEVADA, Sept. 2—A mother’s mistake resulted in the death of her child yester- day. Mrs. Felix Fornler, residing be- tween Downieville and Sierra City, had been faithfully attending a young daugh- ter, who was suffering with scarlet fever. During the night the mother arose to ad- minister medicine to the child and in some manner she made a mistake in the bottles and gave the child carbolic acid.

SUISUN, Sept. 2—A suit was instituted to-day in the Superior Court of Solano County by A. A. Dickie against L. A. Steiger of San Francisco. Dickie is one of the pioneer residents of this segtion, and owns a farm five and one-half miles northeast of Suisun. A portion of the place contains a valuable deposit of lime and cement rock and also large deposits of clay suitable for use in the manufac- ture, of Portland cement and pottery. This part of the farm is now owned by the Pacific Portland Cement Company, a corporation which recently began the manufacture of Portland cement. The land was purchased by that company a few months ago from John Rosenfeld's Sons of San Franecisco, who sold it at a profit of 320,000 more than the amount Dickle received. Dickie had been nego= tiating during the latter part of the year 1900 with N. L. Bell of San Francisco for the sale of the property, and when the deal was about to be closed Dickie ex- ecuted a twenty years' lease on the prop- erty to Steiger, the defendant in the suit. Dickie alleges that the lease was se- cured by fraud and misrepresentation, and as a result he sustained a direct loss of $12,500, for which amount he asks for judgment and also for costs of suit. E. M. Billings of Benicia is attorney for the plaintiff. $33.00 From Santa Fe colonist rate to California dunn‘bekptemb‘r and October. Tickets ma; aid for here and telegraphed to yyour rlends.
