PIrTsBURG, Jan. S.-A gigantic scheme
ton of the coal miners OF the United
States. The object is protection and the
advancement of the interests Of miners.
About May l a convention will be called
to meet in P%ittsburg, for the purpose OF
taking steps TO put the scheme of federa-
ton into practical operation as soon as
possible. The President is John Mcbride
Of Ohio. A Miners Association was
founded to-day. In consultation with
Secretary Flannery, touching the neces-
sary preliminary arrangements, among
which was the best method of reaching all
the miners of the country and making
them realize the full Importance of this
plan to them, individually and collect
lively, Mcbride and Flannery were both
confident that a scheme OF unifcation
could be successfully carried out, and if
properly managed it would prove event
ually the greatest boon ever vouchsafed to
miners. The matter will, formally and in
detail, be laid this week before the coal

umus of their official organ. the Country
Laborers' Tribune. The miners of Penn
sylvania, Ohio and Maryland have already
agreed that these States alone would make
a powerful organization, but it is proposed
to enlarge both its limits and power by
inducing, if possible, the miners of other
bituminous States to join the Union. The
circular calling the convention will be de-
ferred until the representatives of the
various States interested have expressed
their views. The States expected to join
the movement, and the number OF miners
in each, are as follows: Pennsylvania, |
70 1000; Ohio, 10000; Maryland, Is, 900; /
Indiana, 5000; Illinois, 10000; Michigan,
1000; Iowa, 10000; Missouri, 5000.
Total, 1872, 900.
Premeditated Suicide.
DETROIT, Jan. S.-A double suicide was
committed in this city on Saturday night
and Sunday, evidently with the coolest
generalization. A man named J. Edward
Monck and wife were the parties. He was
discharged from the Customs Department
at Chatham, Ontario, and boarding at the
Franklin House here. Saturday evening
their month-old child was given into tenn
porary charge of a lady connected with the
hotel to take care of. Monck then locked
his wife into her room and vent away.
The lady finally growing tired Of her
charge sought about midnight to return
the child to its mother, but was unable to
get into the room. An entrance was finally
secured by means of a pass-key, when
Mrs. Monck was found dead on the bed,
with every evidence that she had died from
morphine administered by her own hand,
or that OF her husband. The same even
ing Monck went to the Brunswick House
and registered under an assumed name,
and, telling the clerk he would not break
fast, went TO his room. He was found
yesterday in an unconscious condition,
from the effects OF d dose of morphine, and
died later in the evening. Both parties
are under thirty, and have parents and
other relatives living at Chatham. 1t is
supposed that dependency over the dis
charge from his position and the failure of
sill efforts to restoration drove them to the
commission of the crime. Next 10 moth
ing is known of their previous history, or
any other cause to which the shocking
event can be attributed. Their relatives
have already taken their bodies to Chat
ham,.
