KEY TO SITUATION IS WATERVILLE ROAD EVIDENCE ACCUMULATES 'THAT THE LINE BETWEEN NEWPORT AND WATERVILLE WILL PROVE TO BE AN IMPORTANT FACTOR. Knoxville, Nov. 26. The Sentinel says: The Ohio River & Charleston) railway is controlled by the Southern railway. The South & East railway, which George Carter is building with North Carolina convicts as an extension of the O. R. & C. road, is also a Southern railway enterprise. Reports to the ef fect that the Seaboard Air Line is be hind these roads for the purpose of getting into the (Virginia and West Vir ginia coal fields and connect at the Ohio river with a line which will carry it on to Chicago, prove erroneous. What the Seaboard Air Line has done is to survey a line from Collette to. Johnson City and also a line from Morgajnton and Marion in the direction of Johnson City. While the Seaboard Air Line has been only surveying the Southern railway has been building, having about 600 convicts of the state of North 'Carolina at work. There has been some skirmish fighting between the two roads in the vicinity of Collette recently. The Car olina & Northwestern railway, which is a. Seaboard Air Line road, has gone up Wgainst the Southern, or South & East "ra'ilway. The former road took a force Oak Plate Racks, a new line in stock now. J. H.

One of the reasons is that Morgan is buying up large bodies of coal lands in the Virginia and Pocahontas region, and is undoubtedly after all of the available coal supply in that region. Should the Seaboard Air Line get through to coal in that region it "would find the mines "controlled by one . at enmity with their road. Tennessee mines are free from Mor gan and will continue to be, so that to :come; to the Tennessee mines insures to the Seaboard Air Line a .permanent coal supply. The chances of Knoxville getting the Seaboard Air Line grow brighter every day. The increase of the capital stock of the Tennessee-North Carolina rail way from $50,000 to $500,000 is believed to mean that that road is to be ex tended to connect with the Seaboard. The struggle which is going on at present to get through the mountain to coal fields on the part of the Seaboard Air Line and the ostensible effort of the Southern Railway to prevent it, in volves much for this section. KAISER ATTACKS THE SOCIALISTS Essen, Nov. 26. After the funeral of Herr Krupp, the gun maker, which took place today, the kaiser addressed the directors and workmen oi the Krupp company. He defended the name of Krupp and bitterly denounced the socialists whose unjust attacks, the kaiser said, killed Krupp. He warned the workmen to have no more to do with- thenar A PATENT GRANTED ON SHAFT COUPLING Successful Invention of W. A. Buch- anan of Asheville. W. A. Buchanan of Asheville has received notice from Washington that he has been granted a patent on a buggy shaft coupling designed by him. Mr. Buchanan, who is well known here, has interested several prominent men of this place in the manufacture of 'the new coupling. One member ofl the organization is now on the road selling to the manufacturers through out the country.

A STATEMENT FROM THE MINERS ' GIVEN OUT BY DARROW, AFTER A CONFERENCE AT SCRAN TON YESTERDAY. Sets Forth the Negotiations Pre- H feeding Baer's Declaration of Last Monday. FACTS IN THE CASE SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES MINERS HAVE1 NO ANXIETY OVER THE CASE OR ITS RESULTS, AND ARE WILLING TO MAKE ANY REASONABLE ADJUSTMENT. Scranton, Nov. 26. Mitchell, Darrow and several of Mitchell's staff returned from Washington this afternoon. They were met by the district presidents and several other officials of the union. They immediately held a conference. After the conference Darrow issued the following statement: The commission adjourned for ten days, pursuance to an agreement be tween the parties, to give an opportu nity for conciliation, on account of a telegram which, we understand, was written by George F. Baer, in the presence of and with the consent of the president of every railroa4 concerned and was signed by Wayne MacVeagh. This telegram was written after care ful reading of tentative agreement, which had been submitted to the com mission. At the request of Mr. Mac Veagh Mitchell, Darrow and Lloyd wett to Washington to consult on some miner details of the agreement. There was no friction nor important disa greement between the parties at the meeting in Washington later in the day, and after a conference with the inde pendent operators, MacVeagh received a telegram calling off all the negotia tions and advising that the matter be settled by the commission in the reg ular hearing. "The man 'who wrote the telegram to Judge Gray, stating that the main feat ures of the contract were acceptable, was the same' man who signed the tel egram to Wayne MacVeagh three or four days later, stating that the nego trations must end. A copy of the ten tative agreement is in the hands of MacVeagh, Wilcox, Wright and proba bly Mr. Baer. We all aee no reason for expressing any opinion the facts speak for themselves. We have been ready at all times to consult with any one in interest and make any reasona ble adjustment, but we have no anx iety whatever over the case or its re sults and shall be ready for business when the commission meets.

A sudden break in the furnace of the Williamson Iron company on Fourteenth street this morning caused a mass of molten iron to gush forth. Thomas J. Edwards, general manager, who was standing nearby talking to a group of men, was burned to death, his body being covered with molten iron and debris. James F. McAnnally, a stove-maker, was fa tally burned, as was also Allen Maw, a colored foundryman. Chas. Simpson, son erf the secretary of the company, was severely burned. It is reported that two strangers who were talking to General Manager Edwards at the time the break occurred are missing and may be under the debris and molten iron, which has since hardened. Edwards was very prominent as an iron manu facturer. He and those in the group about him fled when the accident took place, but molten metal overtook them.

ENGLAND AND 9ERMANY WILL ENFORCE CLAIMS Berlin, Nov 26 -It is authoritatively ; siatea that England and Germany, have agreed upon joint action to en-' iforcte claims against Venezuela and that they are exchanging views respect- ' 'ing the form of action to (be taken UNLIKELY CRUM WILL BECOLLECTOR AT CHARLESTON President Disinclined to Appoint Him Owing to Strone; Opposition. Washington, Nov. 26. It is probable that the president eventually will de cide not 'to appoint Dr. Crum to be col- lector of customs at Charleston. Crum is a negro. The recent intimation given at the -white house that Crum would be named aroused intense feeling among the whites. The fact that Crum was nominated for postmaster of Charleston by Harrison and his name withdrawn from the senate after bit ter opposition has apparently intensi fied the 'feeling against Crum's appoint ment. The president has received a large number of letters from leading republicans and democrats of Charles ton opposing the appointment and he has been waited upon by delegations of indignant citizens. It is believed this opposition has caused the presi dent's disinclination to appoint Crum. A LYNCHING IN LOUISIANA New Orleans, Nov. 25.

C, I THE WORK OF SAFEBLOWERS DESPERATE ATTEMPT BY A BAND TO ROB A BANK IN AKRON Explosion of Dynamite Alarmed Citizens and a Fight With Firearms Ecsaed. ASSISTANT POSTMASTER KILLED BY A ROBBER SAFE IN AN INDIANA POSTOFFICE BLOWN OPEN AND $300 SECURED BY THE BURGLARS. Akron, Ohio, Nov. 26. Akron was this morning the scene of a desperate at tempt to rob the Exchange bank. The town was taken by a gang of safeblow ers at 2:30 o'clock. Thp rnhhrs nan. tured and bound . phone operators and cut all the tele phone wires leading out of the local ex change. They bound and gagged a physician, whose office is in the same block with the Exchange bank.

The bank building was badly wrecked. ASSISTANT POSTMASTER KILLED. Warren, Mich., Nov. 2. Clint E. Os borne, assistant postmaster and pro proprietor of the general store in thi9 village, was shot early today by one of a g"ang f robbers that entered the War- ren bank and blew open the safe. The explosion aroused Osborne -who tele phoned to one of his neighbors that he thought robbers were at -work in either the bank or postoffice. All the tele phones in the village were connected at night and it is thought that the cracks men heard the bell in the bank ring and listened to the conversation. Os borne then started down the street and had gone but a short distance when one of the robbers, acting as an outside guard, shot him in the face with a charge of buckshot, killing him instant ly. Without securing anything from the safe the burglars fled. i INDIANA POSTOFFICE ROBBED, j "olfix, Ind.. Nov. 26.
