A General Coal Miners Strike Probable

PITTsBURG, Pa, April 23.-The delegate
convention of coal miners which meets to-
morrow to consider the question of work
ing during the summer for three cents per
bushel, is awaited with interest. The min
ers along the Panhandle, numbering about
5000, went to work last week at the reduc-
ton, but will come out if the convention
orders strike. About 1000 diggers en-
ployed in the Saw Mill run mines refused
TO work for three cents to-day and struck,
pending to-morrow's action, which is gen.
orally believed will be unanimous against
accepting the reduction.

The challenge was formally presented
Friday night, and it is claimed Glover had
notice that Bowman's seconds were look
ing for him before he filed the criminal
complaint. Glover was represented
throughout by Capt. Silas Bent and Judge
T. I. Garrett, formerly of the court of
appeals bench. Glover declines to fight
on three grounds. First, that the challenge
bears date a week back; second, that il
relates to matters that are stale; and third
that it comes from man who was under
arrest when the challenge was received by
him (Glover). Bowman's friends sent
word that they had no other course than TO
publish the correspondence. 1t embraces
twenty -eigh hit letters, and would fill about
four columns of the Tribune.

Perfumes.

The scent is obtained from the flow
ers bv means of fat. Highly purified
fat of beef of mutton is spread in a
tin film upon a sheet of glass and the
flowers laid upon it and another sheet
placed Just above. In short time the
fat absorbs the entire perfume of the
flowers, and another supply is added,
the process being repeated as often
sometimes as thirty times, till the fat
is thoroughly saturated. In this way
the perfume can be safely transferred
from the growing place of the flowers
TO the manufacturers. Arriving there
the fat is cut up into small cubes and
macerated in pure alcohol, when the
perfume leaves the fat and combines
with the spirits. Ottar of roses is OBJ
tanned by distillation, by this means
only the essential principle of the
flower is obtained. Many of the IA
vorite scents are volatile, quickly dis
appearing, and the perfumer gets over
this difficulty by using some persistent
odor like musk or vanilla for the base
Of the perfume he wishes to make.
Lavender and peppermint also form the
base Of many kinds Of cheap perfum-
cry.
