Many more people came to Aberdeen last night to look for land, and the ho tels were unable to accommodate all of them, many sitting on chairs In the ho tel offices, after the rooms were filled and all the cots available pressed Into service. Corridors, parlors and every other bit of floor space that could be utilized were filled with cots. Besides those who sat In chairs in the hotels, a considerable number occupied benches In the waiting rooms of the Milwaukee passenger station, as was the case on Tuesday night.

The coming convention will, unques tionably, be the most successful in the history of the association. A greater number of implement manufacturers are prepared to make displays than during other prior convention of the association. Information from the cen tral and northern portions of the state, which were not very largely represent ed at the last convention, indicate that a greater number than heretofore of the dealers from those parts of the state will attend the approaching annual meeting.

The colliery is at the west end of Panther creek val ley. and the Governor’s troop was or dered to that point. Companies F and K, of the Twelfth regiment, were placed on trolley ears and run through the valley. When the cars reached Summit hill they were surrounded by a mob of strikers who hurled rocks at the soldiers and called them hard names. The troopers started back to camp, and as the cars rounded a curve Just outside of Summit hill, at a point where the cars take an abrupt dip, the motorman on the first car Made the Discovery that the rails had been greased. The cars were stopped and the soldiers were sent ahead to place sand upon the rails. When this had been done It was possible by moving the cars slow ly to reach Lansford in safety. A mob had gathered there, and for a time It looked like a riot. As the first car was passing through the mob Capt. Gearhart was struck on the right shoulder by a stone. Several soldiers Jumped from the car In pursuit of the stone thrower. After an exciting scuffle they captured Joseph McCann, a young miner. They proceeded again, but had not gone far when another crowd was encountered and the soldiers were again taunted and stoned. Half a dozen soldiers Jumped off and captured three men who. It Is alleged, were urging the crowd to attack the troops. The officers of the regiment all agree that the situation is serious. They say the feeling against the soldiers is very Intense In Coalsadel, Lansford and Summit Hill. NO CHANCE FOR SETTLEMENT. Strike Leaders Say It Is a Fight to a Wilkeßbarre.

Frcmh Inventor Declares That Aerial Ferry l> Infringement on Ilia Patents. Duluth, Aug. 30.—A French engineer who achieved fame at a result of hin Invention of the aerial bridge which spans the Seine at ltoen, France, de clares that the proposed aerial bridge for the Duluth ship canal is an in fringement on his patents, and that he will begin litigation to protect his rights. All of the Arnodean aerial ferry patents are of the same .general description. Between pillars a sort of suspension bridge Is built, consisting of a horizontal platform supported by steel cables stretched between the summits of the pillars. Upon this platform are small railroad tracks, along which roll wheels carrying the vertical cables to which the passenger car is attached and which moves above the water on a level with the piers. The Duluth aerial bridge, while de signed along similar lines, will be rad ically different and stronger It is a stiff truss design, not a suspension bridge Idea, as invented by Arnoden.

DESERT IN DROVES HiKY PRIVATES GROW WE ART OF ARMY LIFE AT FORT SMELLING. 66 MEN HAVE IN SEVEN WEEKS RECORD METER EQUALED AT AMY POST 1M THE UNITED STATES. CANTEEN’S ABSENCE THE CAISE IF MEM COPED GET IIOOZE AT TIIE FORT THEY WOULD MOT LE IVK. St. Paul, Aug. 30.—During the past seven weeks sixty-six members of the Twenty-first regiment of Infantry, lo cated at Fort Snelllng, have deserted from the regular army, making a record, so army men say, never be fore equuled at any post in the United States. Out of this number but one of the deserters has been returned to the fort. The largest number of desertions came immediately following the July pay-day, when fifty-four members of the regiment came to St. Paul and failed to return to the fort. Following the August payday, an even dozen are said to have tired of the life to such an extent that they were willing to take a chance as a de serter. Companies G and E lost the greatest number and Company B the least Three Months* P*y at Once. The large number of desertions fal lowing the July pay-day Is accounted for from the fact that it was the first pay-day after the return from the Philippines, and the soldiers received three monthr’ pay. With this money, the first they had had In months, the soldiers came to St. Paul and Indulged In a life of dissipation. Rather than return to the fort after having been abser.t several days, the soldiers left the city, knowing that but little effort would be made to have them returned. A Company B officer who has been In the service twenty years says de sertions would be reduced to a mini mum if a canteen could be maintained at the post.
