CONDENSED DISPATCHES. A monster demonstration organized by the Republicans and Socialists against the interference by the Vat- ican and the church in the civil af- fairs of the country passed Sunday at Madrid without disorder. Henry McKinney, a Negro, 18 years old, has been disposed of at the hands of a mob of Columbia, Ala., citizens. The Negroe’s fate is unknown, al- though he is generally supposed to have been lynched. Three of the 15 buildings comprising the plant of the Robinhood Ammuni- tion Co. at Swanton, Vt., were de- stroyed Sunday during a thunder storm. No estimate of the loss had been made by the officials of the com- pany tonight, but it was said that it would be very heavy, for the labora- tory contained much valuable ma- chinery. The force of the explosion was felt for several miles and houses in the town of Swanton, a mile away, were considerably damaged. Former Senator Edwin T. Marble, one of Worcester’s most prominent cit- izens and business men, died Sunday in Worcester at the age of 82. He had been engaged in the manufacture of wool machinery in Worcester for 60 years and had continued his activity until within less than a month. Mr. Marble represented a Worcester dis- trict in the lower branch of the State Legislature in 1870 and in 1887 and 1888 served in the Senate. Charles McArthur, Unionist member of the British Parliament for the Kirk- dale division of Liverpool died Sunday He was born in 1844. Charles Mc- Arthur was president of the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce in 1892-96, a member of the Lord Chancellor’s com- mittee for codifying the marine in- surance laws. He was author of works on marine insurance. He was elected for the Kirkdale division in 1907 Unofficial returns received by mem- bers of the conductors’ and firemen’s general grievance committee in the Pennsylvania Railroad wage dispute indicate that a heavy vote is being tak- en. Officials of the company said Sun- day night that they did not believe the men would vote to strike. but members of the committee claim that the vote when counted will show that the men favor immediate action unless the com- pany grants concessions. Indian chiefs attending Big Sun or Willow dances at Big Jake’s Crossing. near Clinton, Okla.. announced Satur- day that they had decided to build a number of towns in which only In- dians would be permitted to live. It is believed this would do much to break up the roving habit of the red men of western Oklahoma, and give them better opportunities in an economic way. J. W. Strongheart, grandson of Sitting Bul!, in advocating various re- forms among the Indians, said more religion and less polities were need- ed in the Indian missions and schools. Official announcement was made by the Pennsylvania Railroad Co. Satur- day that the members of the Order of Raflway Conductors and Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen employed in the train and yard service of the com- pany east of Pittsburg, Erie and Buf- falo, are taking a strike vote because the company has refused to give the men a further increase in wages amounting to from 5 to 20 per cent. Approximately 15,000 men are involved. The company gave out a statement giving its side of the case and made public the strike circular distributed among the employes together with its answer to the men. The company states that the men want a 10-hour day at the same wage paid for 11 hours and that the 11th hour be considered extra work and paid for at the new 10-hour rate. One hundred and six years old Sat- urday, Joseph Seitlin of New York time to tell congratulating friends that he had no secrets for longevity “I don’t let anything worry me.” said the centenarian, “for it makes one old. What I say is: If you want to eat, eat, and if you want to drink, drink!” Seitlin has been in this country a quarter of a century but has learned only two English sentences: “How do you do,” and “Get out of heree!” CONDENSED DISPATCHES.
