When the Eyes The Young Man Who Killed Abram Davis Placed Under a tond of $25--The Preliminary Hearing Held This Ilorning. The city court room Tuesday was crowded, the drawing card being the case of Andrew Broom for the killing of Abram Davis. The evi dence both for the prisoner and the State showed conclusively that Broom acted in self defence; that Davis first accosted Broom, used vile language and threw two stones at him before he made any attempt to defend himself. The testimony of the witnesses all went to show that Davis was a bad man and that he courted a difficulty. He had on one or two occasions been on the chain gang atd was well known in police circles. Mayor Springs after hearing all of the evidence decidedthat Broom's actions were entirely justifiable and dismissed the case, binding him over only for carrying a concealed weap on. When Mayor Springs delivered his decision in the case, the crowds that were packed in the court room ex pressed their approval by wild shouts and yells. It was tome minutes before order was restored. Broom gave bond in the sum of $25 for carrying conceal a. weapons and was given his liberty. Moe 1 - SULTAN DEFIES THE POWERS. COAL FAMINE. WESTERN SHOPS SHUT C OWN FOR LACK OF FUEL READY TO GO OUT. Railroads C- nf iscate Coal in Transit West Virginia Still Refuses to Strike. Bj Telegraph to The Newt. Columbus, Ohio, July 10 The efforts of the leaders in the coal strike are being directed toward bringing about, if possible, the co operation of the men in the West Virginia mines. The continuation of work in these mines is the greatest obstacle to the success of the strikers. Many who have quit work at the Ohio mines are straggling across the river . and securing employment in West Virginia. The men at Ditlen vale and Long Run did not return to work yesterday. RAILROADS THREATENED. In spite of the presence of deputy marshals for the purpose of pro tecting them, threats are still made by the Btrikers that if the railroads attimpt to handle West Virginia coal their trains will be stopped, as the coal famine in Cleveland is owing to the fact that the railroads confis cate most of the coal that comes into their hands. Several big shops are closed for lack of fuel. A serious famine is imminent in Chicago unless the strike is settled in ten days.

Operators do not disguise their intention to do their best to keep organizers from doing effective work.

Five hundred stand of arms nave been secured from the government for the militia with a half million rounds of ammunition, including Gatling catridges. The militia will be used soon if there is ft quest for them. All the commanders "have been communicated with aud order ed to be ready. The Cleveland, Lorraine and Wheeling railroad to day began hauling Weft Virginia coal.

They are sup posed to have been drowned. The flood washed away over two hundred yards of the Hudson River railway track. There were two re servoirs, one above the other.

That Haul the West Virginia ProductStrike Sit uation Unchanged. By Telegraph to The News. Columbus, O., July 9. It is re ported from the Wheeling district that the strike situation in West Virginia is . practically unchanged. No miners are out ia that State, the mines are running to their full capacity and the men show no signs of going out Thousands of tons of coal are now in the yards and on the sidetracks of the West Virginia oprerstors An attempt will soon be made to move this coal, which must be carried over the wheeling and Lake Erie road to Toledo. United States deputy mar shals, armed with repeating riflep, are now guaidmg the bridges and other property of this road, Federal protection having te n asked for in anticipation of violence from the striking miners in Ohio in case the company attempts to carry West Virginia coal. The men in the Dillonvale and Long Run mines are still out. Most of these miners are Slavs and Hungarians and the operators de clare they were intimidated. An effort will be made today to escort them to work under guard of de puty marshals. There will be sure to be a conflict. Leaders in the Pittsburg district are alarmed at the failure to induce the men in the Dearmitt mines to go out These men ha fe had disast rous experiences with sympathetic Btrikers and absolutely refuse to siop work unless they persuaded the strike in the Pittsburg district can not be made effective.

It is generally believed that the conference will result in a general sympathetic strike to include a mil lion workmen, paralyzing all busi ness so completely that capitalists will eventually be compelled to accede to their demands.

The Summit sewer pipe worki was closed today for want ox fuel. Rob inson Brothers' sewer pipe plant at Akron will also be idle this week unless coal can be secured, which seems unlikely at this time. r' Miners in the strike are making every inducement to bring ont those who are now at work in the Silver Creek sub-district.

It seems th.it the catridges were ex amined very closely before being given out by the captain and first and second lieutenants, and owing to the difference in the weight of a loaded and blank cartridge it is hard to account for the accident.
