The Colorado Coal Miners Conclude to
Strike in a Body For Better Pay and Re-
lease From the "Store Order'' System
and Other Serious Grievances-Prospe
of n Coal Famine.
DENVER, COL, October %.
Delegates from all the coal mines of
Colorado were iu session in this city yes
terday, and ordered general strike,
to take effect to-day. There are
forty coal mines in this State, en-
ploying so 900 miners, all of whom, ex.
cept at one mine, belong to the Knights
of Labor. 1t is through this organiza-
ton that the strike Is effected. The order
TO strike will be obeyed except at
the one mine, where an assembly OF the
KnigAtS OF Labor has not been organ
lied.
The miners have for some time been
trying TO induce the companies operatin q
the mines to agree to a settlement of ex-
listing difficulties by arbit alton, but have
failed. The strike Is ordered with the
expectation that it will Undue. mine
owners to agree to a settlementof differ
ences that may arise by arbitration.
One cause of the miners complaint Is
that the mine owners and CO npanies
compel their employees to take their pay
out # their stores and charge more for
the goods than they could be purchase 4
for else where. Another cause of CON-
plant Is the low wages. They claim
that the average wages earned by coal
miners Is less than Sl.75 per day; that
wages have been reduced from twenty to
forty per cent. in the past two years,
wnile the price of coal has been advanced
The amount of coal now on hand is SUN
cient to supply the railroads, manufact-
uring and domestic demands for week
and If the strike is contin
ued a coal famine in the whole State Is
a certainty. The miners are led by mer
of ability, one of whom is candidate fol
State Auditor on the Butler ticket
They have the sympathy of large
number of the gold and silver miners
| Violence is not anticipated, as the mer
are reported to be generally quiet anc
anxious for peaceabie solution OF the
! dtliculties.

THE MINERS BANE.

Terrific Explosion of Fire Damp In
Pennsylvania Coal Mine-Several Miners
Killed and Fifteen More Imprisoned in
the Turning Mine.
UNroNTowN, Pa, October IS.
Yesterday afternoon a terrific ex-
plosion of Gre damp occurred In the
mines of the Youngstown Coke Com.
pany, whose works are situated four
miles north of Uniontown. One loud re-
port startled the employees, followed
shortly afterward by another. The mine
is entered by slope instead OF a shalt,
and the explosion was followed by sweep
ing flames of fire, which completely shut
off al passage to or from the mine.
In the course of an hour Su )erintendent
Refs and others descended the air shaft
and took out the following;
Joseph Zebey, aged eighteen, found
dead; body burned and crushed.
Jackson Lape, aged thirty; suffocated
by fire damp.
Jacob Cole, aged fifty three, pit boss;
fatally burned.
David, son of Jacob Cole, also fatally
burned.
A boy named Chauncey, burned and
arm broken.
Wash Keller saved himself by lying
down in pool of water.
The flames we're too fierce to allow
search to be prosecuted further, and it
was abandoned until preparation can be
completed for shutting off the air and
thus extinguishing the fire. There were
over twenty men In the mine at the time
of the explosloo, and 1t is thought the
fifteen or sixteen yet in, will never be
taken out ative. The mine was inspect
| ed yesterday morning as usual, and it
was tn ought to be free from explosive
gases.

This was understood below to be a cry of
fire, panic ensued aud u wild rush was
made for the exits, all passages were
instantly choked with strug-
Cling unreasoning mass of humanity.
Women became frantic, aud many of them
tainted, fell and were tramped upon by
the crowd. The actors and attaches
vainly tried to quiet the frenzy by shout
ing that there was no fire. The panic
lasted unit! all who were physically able
had left the theater. Then it was
discovered that two or three dozen wom-
en- aud children had been crushed to the
floor and were more or less severely in

THE NATIONS WARD.
Items From the Annual Report of INdian
Commissioner Price-TwO Cents n Day to
Clothe and Feed the Indians.


WASHINGTON, ID. c., October 2S
Commissioner Price, in his annual
report, says that the appropriation made
last year, after deducting transportation,
etc., left only 81 per capital to clothe
and feed the Indians, or fraction less
han two cents per day. The Commits
sioner states very emphaticaly that this
amount Is inadequate. Respecting the
Court of Offenses, established last year,
the Commissioner says;
At every agency where the court has been
established, II has been well received, and the
decisions OF the judges respectfully ac-
quiesced in, and quietly and peacefully en-
forced. At some OF the agencies this court
has been Instrumental in aOoliShing many of
the most barbarous and perniclous customs
that have existed among the Indians from
time immemoral; AMI If properly cncour-
aged ana the ludians are made 10 believe
that the Govern nenC IL honest in its en-
deaVors to promote their welfare, and intel
lectual and moral Advancement, l believe
that in rev years poygamy anu tne
heatl edish customs of the sun dance, scalp
dance, and war dance VIII be entlrely aool-
ished.
The report refers briefly to tie fact
that the Indians are taxing advantage oil
the law allowing them to make home
stead entries and secure land by allot-
ment, and Us that the total Indian pop
ulation Is 2G3, 749; that of the 50, SOB, l0i
appropriated for the Indian Office, bal
a ce of $780, S55 Is uneXpended; that the
results attained in Indian education are
regarded as entirely satisfactory, there
being a considerably increased attend
auce at all schools, especially at the
boarding schools.
The report shows that the death rate
increased over the previous year, which
attributed to the severe winter.
The Commissioner recommends a
change In the manner of making appro
priations so as to allow the Department
| discretion in their disbursement.

any trickery or underhand proceedings.
The divorces which Blandin wants to
procure are for non-residents, and in
most Of the cases the plaintiffs are de-
sirous of obtaining DEGREES without the
knowledge of defendants, which they
could not do in their own States.
The fraudulant, cheap divorce scan
dial of few years ago was the dirtiest
and most odrous ever inflicted upon
the Territory; the exposure covered the
judges and attorneys engaged in The
business all over with slime, and so
deep and filthy was the coating that
somepeople are not yet free from the
stain. There are persons, as the above
fully demonstrates, who would revive
the practice and bring further disgrace
upon Utah, but if all the Probate

Washington, the Blandins will have to
turn to reputable practice or starve.
