T itfiMi' A shortage. tt 7ti|j aceounts Marshalltown* low*, public Thursday, created excitement In business circles there. The shortage was discovered by Post- office Inspector W. M. Ketcham and amounts to $833.86. Postmaster J. Q. Saint was at once informed of the shortage and promptly mad* good the loss. The responsibility of the $15,000 in stock and the $3,000 in postal funds has largely rested with Deputy Post* master Max Kruskopf. However, others have access to the funds, which are kept In the vault, and there can be no determination made as to who must be held responsible until the mat­ ter has been fully investigated. • deputy United States marshal was summoned, but it is understood he made no arrests. Postmaster Saint, Deputy Kruskopf, and Chief Clerk Hawley accompanied the offiial to Des Moines, where they were cited to ap­ pear before United States Commission­ er W. C. McArthur. Deputy Kruskopf arranged to reimburse Postmaster Saint, pending the investigation. He has been employed in the postofflce here for about sixteen years and the public Is Inclined to give him the ben­ efit of every doubt Saint was ap­ pointed during McKinley's first admin­ istration. That a crime has been com­ mitted has not yet been charged and whether or not any arrests will be made depends on the results of the in­ vestigation at Des Moines. . PRISONED UNDERTAKE Nine Men DM In Biasing; Crib >t Cleveland. Thirteen men were Imprisoned alive in a tunnel 200 feet below the bottom of Lake Erie, two miles from shore off Cleveland harbor, by a fire and ex­ plosion which destroyed the new wa­ terworks crib and caused the death by burning or drowning of at least nine and probably thirteen persons. Of the men Imprisoned in the tunnel ten were rescued alive many hours after the dis­ aster. The other three are believed to be dead. The escape of the ten men was almost miraculous, for when the crib burned the machinery which pumped air to the tunnel was de­ stroyed. After two hours of hard work by firemen five charred human bodies were found, burned beyond recogni­ tion. Two were in the attitude of prayer. They must have been awaken­ ed by the fire, but could not escape. One body was burned to almost noth­ ing. All that could be found of it were a skull and some bones. The bodies of two other men lay close to those that were on their knees, and it looked as if they never knew what happened to them. LATEST MARKET QUOTATIONS.

Two men were killed and a dozen or more were injured near Ingolf, Mani­ toba, by the wrecking of a Canadiail Pacific train that was carrying several hundred harvest hands from the mari­ time provinces to the wheat fields of Manitoba. According to a statement given out by the railroad officers the following were the casualties; ^killed Donald McKegan, Cape Breton; Dan White, Kent City, N. B. Injured: Martin Almon, Cape Breton; James Craig; Thomas Corwin, fireman; John Reed, Newfoundland. The accident was caused by the breaking of a rail under the engine, which, with fire coa^bgs. was derailed. President Shaffer is deeply disap­ pointed by the failure of bis geenral strike order to bring out all the men he expected. Instead of 86,000 mem­ bers of the Amalgamated association refusing to return to work Monday not more than one-third that number went on strike. The leader of the steel strik­ ers put on a brave face and smilingly announced that he was satisfied with the result on the day of his general strike order. He promised favorable developments later in the week. Pitts­ burg officials of the steel trust are overjoyed. They claim that Shaffer by his second order has made im­ pression on the situation south of the Monongahela valley, and that the strike will be broken before the end oit a fortnight. They say that the Na­ tional Tube company at McKeesport has not been severely affected, and point to the indisputable evidence that not a man left any of the Carnegie mills. The general strike order has so far been obeyed by only about 14,000 man. men, according to the best figures ob­ tainable here. The first two prelimi­ nary calls were answered by about 45,- 000 men, so that the total number now out is in the neighborhood of 60,000. The appeal for financial assistance was prepared on Friday last, but was not sent out until Monday, it reads as follows: "To the Members of Organized La­ bor--Brethren: As you are undoubt­ edly aware, the United States Steel corporation Is now waging ,a war against organized labor by making the Amalgamated association the subject on which to begin operations. At our last convention it was unanimously decided to ask the United States Steel corporation, when settling its annual scale with the Amalgamated associa­ tion, that It sign or recognize the scale of the Amalgamated association in all its mills. When the matter was broached it was peremptorily refused. After the holding of several confer­ ences the demand of our organization was modified so as to take in only the mills of three of the companies, viz.: The American Sheet Steel company, the American Tin Plate company, and the American Steel Hoop company, where local lodges had been formed, and where the men were desirous of being union men, and we are now out on 6trike for recognition. In the con­ ferences which were held by the rep­ resentatives of the United States Steel corporation and the Amalgamated as- United States who submitted a that we only sign for the mills tlg&ad last year, with the exception of th* sheet mills in Saltsburg and Scottdala, which were signed for the year pre­ viously. Their Amalgamated asaoci** tion would merely have to remain It a quiescent stats, while they were ex­ panding and adding to their non-union possessions. They are waging a fight for the extermination of the Amalga­ mated association and the right of the workingmen to combine, a principle, which they have demonstrated to the people of the United States they de» sire themselves, and so persistently re­ fuse to grant us. This blow Is not alone directed at the Amalgamated associa­ tion, but at organized labor in general, and should they succeed if? defeating the Amalgamated association, it will affect every organized labor In the United Sfetes. To succeed in this struggle, it will be necessary to seek the aid of every organized body as well as the general pub- lice, whose sympathies we knew are with us in the present struggle. To this end we ask that you give us your pnancial aid. • Jlberaal response financially will materially as­ sist us in conducting a victorious cam­ paign for a principle which Is the in­ alienable right of every American free- If you desire the Amaggamated association In the present struggle financially, all money should be for­ ward to John Williams, secretary- treasurer, Bissell block .Pittsburg, aP. °T.

Each side in the steel strike claimed gains Tuesday, but little of Importance developed to change the situation. It Is estimated that 16,000 men are out as a result of the general strike order, mak­ ing, with those first to quit, a total of 62,000 now idle. Mysterious talk of moves in preparation that will result in great advantage is heard on both sides, but both union men and mill managers refuse to give details of their plans of campaign. vn*ee Are Pewsn |>hlpe Havw Been Destroyed and Hwtw Carried Away--Greatest Flood 1893--Hach Damage ft Mobile, The -touthero storm of Wednesday night developed Thursday into a hur­ ricane, in many respects one of the worst ever known, at New Orleans, La. The hurricane struck the Louis­ iana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Flor­ ida coasts from Pensacola to Grand Isle, La., with its center about the Rigolets, the mouth of Lake Pont- chartraln, moving westward and threatening to reach the West Louis­ iana and Texas coast. As usual all the telegraph, telephone, and other wires were down from New Or­ leans to the district where the storm positive isat cure for insanity, restricting Ills ifcwlaratlon to those cases that coins Qndsr the head of paranoila sad what alienists call the gradual breakdown of ths msntal system due to over-brain #p*rtion.

"I have cured five «*»•* to fir," he said, "and wish to that I can cure others. You see, I have had some trouble with th« medical fraternity because I will not give out the secret of my treats ment.

Dying Man Tells of Crime. The facts in a shocking murder were made known at Middletown, O., by a man of the name of Medler, who is dying from consumption in a Cincin­ nati hospital. He states that Edward Grossman of Manchester, Mich., was at work in a paper mill at Franklin, 0., and incurred the enmity of other employes, who on April 31 last placed a rope about his neck and raised and lowered him from a beam, finally hurl­ ing his head against the iron shaft­ ing, fracturing his skull. Grossman was then placed upon the railroad tracks to cover up the crinm. AN ENEMY TO THE TRUSTS. " v:' S. MONNETTf1^' Ths ex-attorney-general of the state anti-trust laws uphold the raged worst, and all communication by railroad and boat Is cut off, so that the details of the storm were very meager, m New Orleans the storm was first felt at Lake Pontchartrain, in the rear of the city. The wind from the southeast, blowing at the rate of seventy miles an hour, accompanied by the highest tide ever known--seven and a half feet--which raised the lake ten feet or more above the levee, drove the water over the lake shore and rear protection levees. The great­ est fears were entertained for the safe­ ty of the people living at Port Eads, which Is at the mouth of the Missis­ sippi river, and the ships that started for sea just before the storm began. The wires to Port Eads have been prostracted since Tuesday night at 8 o'clock, but a reporter reached a man who left there at 2 o'clock Wednesday. He was at Buras, which is sixty miles down the river and the farthest point with which there is wire communica­ tion at the present time. This man describes the storm which swept that section as a regular tidal wave, sim­ ilar to the one which resulted in such awful loss of life In 1893. He says all the people living on the east bank of the riyer have moved up to the "jump," which is fifteen miles from the mouth of the river. The house of g. man, named Cobden, half a mile above the Quarantine station, was Bwept away, and the fifteen members of the family, including nine children, were drowned. The <|tiarantlne build­ ings were badly damaged, but no one was injured. The big towboat Cham­ berlain was driven high and dry in the marsh, but her crew are safe. The government boat General Reese is be­ lieved to have been lost. Captain O'Brien's house was swept away, but he was on the boat which was believed to be outside. The pile driver at Port Eads was sunk. The steamboat Buras was driven ashore near the lighthouse, and later it was reported that she had sunk. Her crew were said to havt been saved. • The storm completely isolated the city of Mobile, Ala., from the outside world. At 4:80 Thursday afternoon the Western Union office In Mobile was abandoned, the water at that time be­ ing three feet deep in the operating room. Two hours later this message was received: "The water is over tnree feet deep in this operating room, and it is still rising. The wind is blowing at the rate of fifty miles an hour, and we look for worse things tonight. The business district is de­ serted " Here the wire failed and nothing more was heard from the town, although the most persistent ef- were made. j Sfcot Down by Masked Men. sj( Aooiph Morey, 24 years old, was Shot In the back of the head in the saloon of J.

He entered the service of the firm many years ago, and was made a partner in 1878. He was chairman of the North British Railway company, to which post he was elected in 1899. Early in life Sir William was trained to the legal profession, but abandoned that to enter the firm of Laird & Co. Ufe Restored by Lightning. A supposed corpse brought to life by a bolt of lightning is the story that comes from Hanston, twenty miles from Lamed, Kan. The 6-year-old daughter of Samuel McPrease appar­ ently died Sunday.

Mr. Monnett claims that nearly three-fourths of the stock in the Fed­ eral Steel Corporation is owned by foreigners, and that the "plants" not only include mills and factories, but big newspapers as well. The latter, it is said, are purchased in Pittsburg, Philadelphia, Boston, New York, Chi­ cago, Detroit and other large cities. The suits to be prosecuted by Mr. Monnett grew out of the steel workers' strike. \ Ko Hop® for Indiana Corn. State Statistician Johnson said at Indianapolis, from observations he had made, that he believed the corn crop in Indiana was practically beyond re­ demption. "Rain," said he, "will be of little benefit now. Rain and an un­ usually late fall might help conditions, but even then the benefit will be small. The corn stalks have begun to harden, and the stalk is weedy. Even with good rains from now on the ears of corn will not develop. In some small localities there will be good corn."

Secretary Hay is determined to not only safeguard American interests but to fulfill the treaty obligations of the United States toward Colombia. All reports to the State department confirm the belief that a concerted movement is on foot to combine the republics of Venezuela and Ecuador and to force Colombia into the combination. * 54 ̂ New Trunk Utat In VImiî ^yy- a report that the Norfolk and West­ ern, Memphis and Chattanooga, ths Choctaw and Fort Worth and Denver are forming a through transconti­ nental trunk line has caused a substan­ tial rise in some of the interested stocks at Philadelphia. It is said that a party of surveyors has recently been at work between Knoxville, 'f'enn., and Bristol, which is the Norfolk and Western terminus of the Tennessee line. A well-equipped railroad al­ ready extends from Knoxviile to Mem­ phis, and this road is connected with the Fort Worth and Denver City by the Choctaw, Oklahoma and Gulf. The control of the Fort Worth and Denver City rests with the Colorado Southern, which makes a close aind advantageous connection with the Gould, system at Denver. Dark Folia Five Bobbers. Five men made an attempt at 1 o'clock Friday' morning to rob the United States Express company at La Porte, Ind., and carry away the iron box which arrives over the Lake Erie and Western railroad and usually con­ tains large sums. In the darkness the five men could not distinguish a hack from the express wagon and while two men stopped the horses the other three called to the cabman to hold up his hands. The men then discoveredJ^heir mistake and disappeared. Fight New Public Ubratfy. The Wheeling (W. Va.) board of education, which has control of pub­ lic library matters, decided that it was useless in the face of the opposition from every labor organization in the city to submit to a vote the proposi­ tion to issue $50,000 bonds to provide for the acceptance of a public library building. The unions had decided to fight the proposition at every polling place. ^ ; Shoots at Passing *r»l«» " Olfn Hubbard, son of a Fulton coun­ ty physician, was shot and probably fatally wounded at Strykerf Ohio, in a skirmish with officers, who attempt­ ed to arrest him and a young man of the name of Finch for shooting at passing trains oh the Lake Shore road.
