The Mining Troubles not yet Settled


HAzELToN, June 22-The acceptance
by the miners, at Mondays meeting, OF
the operators offer is not equivalent to
the resumption of work. There are
many points OF difference between the
men and their employers, aside from the
amount of wages to be paid for cutting
coal, and these differences have not
been touched. 1t is not stated d.authori-
lively that the operators will not allow
the men to resume work until all ques.
tons are settled and all points Of dis
pute yielded by the miners. There is
little doubt but that the men will con-
cede everything shortly, but the meet,
ing accomplished little or nothing in
that direction.

Illness OF Mrs. &. l.. Yallandigham n I'M

New YORK, Jnne 22.-A special
dispatch from Dayton says that Mrs.
Vallandigham is still unconscious.
The physicians, who are in constant
attendance, are reticent as to her recov-
cry. She fails to recognize her most
intimate friends who are watching by
her bedside. By many it is feared that
she has lost or will lose her reason,
while others declare that they are
fearful that the shock she has encoun-
tered during the past few deys, in the
loss OF both brother and husband, threat
ems the most fatal consequences, and
that her death is merely a matter OF
short time.
