THE MINERS, srR1KE.
The Men Firm But willing TO Submit
Their Demands to Arbitration.


Their Demands to Arbitration.
PITTsBURG, May 2.-Instead of diminish
ing the strike of the bituminous coal miners
is growing In strength and they are conse-
quently in great glee over their success
Last evening a joint meeting of the men
working in the Midway and Primrose mines
was held at Midway, at which the first
named mine resolved to join the strikers
this morning, but as the representation from
the latter pit was quite SMALL the men
present resolved to work for another day at
least. At the mass meeting held at Mans
| field last evening it was arranged that
procession of striking miners and brass
band should leave that place and move
| down the Pan Handle as far as Oak Dale,
where stop would be made and a meeting
| held to get those men out. This plan will
be followed until the remaining miners
| ha 7e declared for 80 cents a bushel.
When questioned as to the probable out
| come of the strike Secretary Flannery said
| that the miners were so firm in the belief
that they had right on their side that they
| would be unyielding in their demand un-
less they should be convinced they were
wrong, and this he thought extremely i'm
probable.
''We are ready, though" said Mr. Flan-
merry, "to do anything that is fair. We will
agree to settle the difficulty by appeal to the
| trades tribunal under the new law" He
added: "Here IL letter have written to
Senator Wallace, saying, Your trade
tribunal law is in good time for
] the settlement of our present troubles,
a and If the operators are SO disposed
we will give 1t a chance to show its
nerits. We have invited them to
ons 'tition for the formation of a tribunal. We
giving in the justice of arbitration and hope
,ting Il long and useless strike will be averted
.od Of railroad mines by the operators agree
Sou VI submit their side of the case to a
al. We hope you will continue to
- 1ur great energy and ability to the
lmers solution of the question arising be-
tion of tabor and capital" The operators
proper tht yet been heard from on this new
share w,f the question.

NOTES OF THE GAME.
Neat and elegant blue cloth suits and
Dunlap hats will be worn by the Chicago
team this season when off the field. In hot
weather straw hats will be worn.
During the game in Grand Rapids, Mich,
last week several members of the Detroit
played with their oyercoats on. gauze
shirt won't do for April games in
Michigan.
The Providence have 20 men on their
salary list Harry Wright's experiments
are sometimes very expensive. They come
high, but be must have them.
Captain Anson, of the Chicago, while ad-
mitting that the New \ ork League Club has
good material, does not think they have
much chance to wi the championship. He
evidently fears Cleveland, as he says that
club has more than any other in the League,
strengthened itself by high. priced and ju.
| dicious additions.
A game has been arranged at Pittsburg
between nine reporters and nine lawyers.
| The Cleveland Leader says: "The Allie
| gheny will make some of the American As
| sociation teams hustle around this season to
| beat them. They are good fielders, first
| rate at tramping the canvas bags and are
good enough al the bat to pound the ball
| with sufficient skill to reach home plate as
| often as any ot them"
The Chicago Common Council has set
down on an attempt to get the ball grounds
away from the Chicago club. Some adven-
turer, who probably wanted to be bought
off, proposed to start a geological garden
| SNAP. and offered S3750 per wear for the use
oftbe grounds. The offer, though larger
than the sum paid by the Chicago club, was
refused on the ground that it would be in
judicious to Danish from its present loca-
tion a game which is patronized In great
numbers by the very best people in the city
None of the Athletic managers are away
with the Athletics during the present trip
Knight having charge OF the club
"Tug Wilson" Thompson, who played g
few games with the Philadelphia last year

William Collins, while playing ball a
Big Rapids, was struck in the back of tht
neck by ball, producing confusion of tn,
brain, from which he died.
The american Sports, a new Chicag,
sporting paper, in an article on the neV
Chicago Base Ball Park, has the following
"Surmounting the grand stand Is a row o
1S private boxes for the accommodation
, of reporters, club officers, and partie
of ladies and gentlemen. These boxes
which really contain the most eligible seat
on the grounds, originated with Presiden
Spalding. They are cozily draped with cur
, tains to keep out the sun and wind, and ar
supplied with luxurious arm-chairs. Tn
! price of box seating four persons is 81 pc
. game, or 25 cents more than a seat in tn
J grand stand. In one of the private boxe
! the Western Union Telegraph Company vii

In other cities, and these reports will b
promptly bulletined on the large score boar
, at the east side of the grounds"

A SurDrise.

Last evening about go people, mostly en-
ployes, assembled at J. K. Sutterley's and
in body proceeded to the home of Frank
7. Clymer, 401 West Third Street. Mr..
Clymer was unaware of the visit until the
party rushed in upon him. Fruits of the
season, cigars, etc, were brought by the
party and thoroughly happy time was en-
joyed by all. During the stay, Mr.. Clymer
was presented with large, handsomely
framed crayon picture of himself. The
picture came from his employees and was
presented by George Hughes who allowed
Mr.. Clymer to think that picture of the
carriage works was about to be given. The
surprise was complete when the frame was
turned around and for once Mr.. Clymer was
"taken down" An orchestra led by Mr..
Ferry gave several selections and the Misses
Bratton sang few duets. A visit to the
works this morning found the hands still
relating Eincidents' and congratulating
each other upon the success of the surprise.

THE WATER COMMISSION.
Awaiting the Opinion of the City Solicitor

on the New Bill.
The members Of the Water Commission,
Messrs. Paynter, Porter and Rodney, and
Messrs. Talley, Miller and Mention Of the
Finance Committee of City Council held q
con ference in the room of the Chief Engi.
neer, in the Water Department building last
evening. City Solicitor Turner, City Trea.
surer Pierce, City Auditor Ball and Regis
trar Bond of the Water Department were
also present. The discussion was purely
informal, and without arriving at any con
clusion, adjourned until Monday in order to
give the City Solicitor time to prepare an
opinion on various points in the Water Com
mission bill that are not clearly understood
Register Bond, in answer to a question by
Mr.. Paynter, said that since April IL, when
the the new bill went into effect, he had de-
posted in bank in his own name the receipts
of the Water Department, which, during
that period amounted to about 5000.
City Solicitor Turner thought that the
pay roll of the Water Department this week
should come from this sum instead of from
Councils appropriation.
Mr.. Talley regretted the fact that the bill
went into effect upon its passage, and
thought it would have been much better 1

action January l, 1884, the starting Of thu
