VIRGINIA MINXES ' STRIKE.
Mr. KauM 8ays 8he Wat Wounded
in Left Foot While Acting as a
Shield for Her Babies. Governor
Glasscock Sayt Refusal of Opera
tors to Consent to Arbitration is
Responsible for Murders.
Charleston, West Virginia, June 1!).
The graphic story of n mother un
folding her skirts and holding them
arm's length in an effort to protect
the lives of her three toddling babies,
and herself being wounded in the left
foot while thus no) inir as a human
shield, was related to the commit lee
by Mrs. Annie Kause, wife of a min
er. She still 'carries I lie bullet in
her foot and limped noticeably as
she walked to the witness stand.
Mrs. Kause was in her little three
room house on the night of February
7, when out of the darkness came a
rain of bullets from an armored train
carrying a machine (run. It was in
this shooting that Cisco Kstep was
killed while lie, his wife and children
were rushing: to the protection of the
cellar of their house, rifly yards
away.
Mrs. Kause said she was in her
bed when the first shol was fired and
she immediately sprang up and gath
ered her three youngest children be
hind her in front of the fire place.
The shot which wounded her pene
trated the front wall of her house,
passed through the pint it ion and
lodged in her foot. She insisted the
shooting came without warning and
emphatically denied that either her
husband or her two sons had guns or
fired at the train.
The arrogant refusal of the coal
operators to consent to any method
of arbitration to settle the strikes
was responsible for the murders and
rioting which have lasted more than
a year, according to former Gover-
,lor Glasscock. Recalled for cross-ex
animation, lie' emphatically insisted
that if the operators had been will
ing to arbitrate in any way the strike
could have been settled in its infancy.
When the operators pleaded as an
excuse for refusing to arbitrate that
it would mean virtually recognizing
the union. Glasscock said, the 'miners
voluntarily waived this point, but
still the operators refused to arbi
trate.
"They told nie thev would settle
this thing their own way," the form
er Governor said.
Mrs. Lucinda Nance, a black-garbed
woman, told, with the catch of a
tear in her voice, of being held up by
mine-guards and driven back when
she and two other women were en
route to visit a cemetery, where their
children were buried.
"We only wanted to put flowers
on the graves of our babies," she
sobbed.
All the witnesses tor the miners
have agreed that the armed mine
guards caused all the trouble. Had
they been kept out of Paint and
Cabin creek districts there would
have been little rioting. And this is
one of the chief points of the inquiry
that . the Senators are very anxious to
clear up.
Charleston, W. Va., June 10. The
resumption of a bloody warfare in
- s the coal fields on a large scale than
ever was the outlook as a result of
the action of the miners of the New
River district voting strike. The out
look is serious is the concensus o
. opinion. '
Found His Wake in Full Swing.
1 - Kearney, J., June 18. James
Keily is suffering from the shock of
' witnessing what his relatives and
friends believed to be his own
"wake." When he returned to his
home last night after a few days ab-
, senee he found his sister, Mrs. Cath-
erine O'Brien, his two brothers and
a score of neighbors sitting in the
front parlor weeping over a coffin.

MAKERS AT GETTYSBURG.
To Designate Position of "North Car
olina Troops in the Battle.
Raleigh, June 19. Thirty markers
will be used to designate the posi-
lons of the North Carolina troops
n the battle of Gettysburg. Chair
man W. A. Montgomery of the com
mission authorised bv the last legis
lature to mark the positions of the
North Carolina regiments and brig
ades in that memorable conflict. Julv
1. 2 and . 1863. left today for the
battlefield and will remain until af-
cr the celebration of the fiftieth an
niversary of the three-dav combat.
Prof. Charles IV Pink, of Raleigh,
and Mr. W. F. I'tley. of Apex, an
other member of the commission, will
follow Judge Montgomery. Profes
sor Park will have charge of what
may be termed the engineering work
and will take with him thirty mark
ers to be located at the designated
positions of the Tar Heel organiza-
ons during each of the three dnvs
of the battle.
The markers are made of wood.
thirty inches high, and are painted
white, with black lettering. Fach
carries an appropriate inscription.
which tells its story in the fewest
number of words. For example, one
marker has upon it the following in
scription: "Pettigrew's Rrigade:
11th, 26th, 44th. 47th. ,r)2d Regiments,
North Carolina troops. The 44th not
present; left in irginm. .Inly 3rd
1863."
These markers are lo 1m- used only
temporarily. The veterans who go
to the celebration in July will be
shown over the battlefield and asked
to verify oV criticise the placing of
the battlefield and exact swits will
be located and permanent markers of
beautiful granite will be placed. The
legislature has made special appro
priation to cover this work.
Tomorrow Dr. D. X. Hill, president
of the A. and M. College, and R. D.
W. Connor, secretary of the North
Carolina Historical Commission, will
leave for Gettysburg. This visit to
Gettysburg is the fourth time Judge
Montgomery has returned to the
scene of the historic engagement and
no man in the State has so thorough
an acquaintance with that great bat
tle, for he has made a special study
ofSt on the field. An article by him
is considered the best written oif the
subject. v
One of the great features of the
coining reunion of the Blue and the
Gray, the largest end most import
ant ever held, will be the presence
of all the chief surviving officers on
both sides, and of many thousands
of enlisted men of the then contend
ing forces. It was the 26th North
Carolina Regiment which at Gettys
burg suffered a greater loss than any
of the something over three thousand
regiments on both sides during the
entire war. This was Vance's regi
ment, afterwards commanded bv Har
ry Burgwyn, who was killed at Get
tysburg, and tliii bv John R. Lane.
of Chatham county.
It was the "Iron Brigade" which
slaughtered the 26th. This brigade
composed of the 19th Indiana, 24th
Michigan, 2d Minnesota, 6th Minne
sota and 7th Wisconsin regiments
was one of the bravest and most
thoroughly trained military organiza
tions America , has ever known. Ex-
Judge Montgomery graphically tells
the story of what the "Iron Brigade
did. He savs that on the first dav
at Gettysburg it went up against
three Confederate brigades in succes
sion, in what is known as McPher
son's woods. First it struck Archer's
Tennessee brigade and the latter was
captured and lost half of its force
then and there. Next it almost anni
hilated Davis' brigade and wjien it
met Petttigrew's there was the most
savage fighting during the entire war,
and the 26th North Carolina Regi
ment lost 588 out of 800 officers and
men. The "Iron Brigade" for its
part lost 1.153 officers and men. It
was the latter brigade which had en
graved on a gold band around its
flag staffs these words: "We don I
know how to run.
The 6th North Carolina and the
9th Louisana did remarkable work at
Gettysburg in the greatest f the
charges, Judge Montgomery says, and
it was these two regiments which
went over the stone wall side by
side. The 6th North Carolina was
in Hoke's brigade and none of the
other regiments in that brigade got
over the wall, because their charge
was toward the left, but 75 officers
and men of the 6th went over it and
shot and bayoneted men beyond the
wall. A report by General Scales on
this charge was made to General Lee
after the return to Virginia. Gener
al Scales said the slaughter of his
men by the fire of infantry and can
non' was so frightful that small
squads of men, scattered along the
line, marked the Bpot where his once
splendid brigade had rested.
It is easy to see now why both arm
ies regarded and now regard Gettys
burg as the high-water mark of the
great war. :-' '' - - "''

Dr. Friedmann Was in Atlanta.
Atlanta, June 1!). While the I'.
S. government was damning him with
faint praise and the city health au
thorities of New York ere passing
ordinances against him. Dr. F. F.
Friedmann, of turtle serum fame, vis
ited Atlanta secretly a few days ago
and personally administered his
treatment lo the son of a prominent
Atlanta family, receiving a large
sum of money for so doing, and leav
ing Atlanta on the next train, with
out even the watchful eyes of the
newspaper reporters so much as
lighting on him going or coming.
The fact was not learned until to
day, though Dr. Friedmann was here
last week. The young man whom he
treated is said to have been in a se
rious condition, and the treatment
was used somewhat as a last resort.
What if any improvement lias been
noted in his condition, has not been
made public.
Dr. Friedmann sailed from New
York Monday for Germany, carrying
'with him, it is said, a considerable
fortune, gained from administering
his serum to private patients, in spite
of the fact that his public demonstra
tions were a failure, and that his
methods were frowned on by leading
tuberculosis experts of this c onn

an array of entries never equaled at
any previous exhibition of its kind
given in London, the seventh inter
national Horse Show was opened at
