coal MINERS, CONVENTION.
The Men Working at the Three Cent
Rate to be Asked TO Help support
the strike.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Mar. 21.
The Railroad Coal Miners Convention held
today was largely atteaded. Reports from
the delegates were very encouraging to the
strikers. OF thirty-seven pits along the
railroad, twenty-five are closed on account of
the strike, ten are in operation at the prices
demanded by the miners, and FIVE are work
ing at reduction. Today ends the second
week Of the strike, and it seems no nearer a
settlemant than when it commenced. There
are 10000 men idle, and it is estimated that
they have already lost in wages about $780,
000 Coal is getting scarcer every day and a
number of manufactures have been Obliged
to close for want of fuel.
A resolution was adopted ordering all min
ers now working at the three cent rate TO con-
tribute toward carrying on the strike. and
also one requesting the national executive
committee to call a convention of the min
ers of Eastern Ohio and Western Pennsyl-
vauia for the discussion of matters pertain
ing to the good Of the miners.

up the thick atmosphere of Oriental diplo-
mack and show the English where they real
ly stand 1t is known that Lord Dufferin
expects war. and his talk to the Ameer is
thus likely to have additional significance.
Everybody suspects or believes that the
massing Of forces near the Afghan frontier
has been making progress swiftly Of late, but
Lord Duferin keeps all news Of those doings
perfectly dark
II the time comes for hostiiiies il will be
found fancy, that quite AZ good prepara-
ton. have been made in India as in Caucus

of a wsrlike character. am told that the
secretary of the admiralty has been working
day and night in order TO get fleet ready for
Baltic operations at the shortest notice, and
in military circles stories Of unusual prepa-
rations are current.
They add that the utmost fear Of a panic
reigns in Berlin, where spectators are load
ed with Russian paper which they have been
keeping up in the market at heavy sacri-
fee, and which is sure to slump IL war
comes.
There is general feeling here in London.

lie pondering on these questions, that war

thing that could happen.

Slight Developments have been made in
the grave robbery case. Menatomy Gene.
terry is in secluded spot near the terminus
of the road, five miles from this village. A
stranger driving gray horse, attached to
direct shaft sleigh, was observed to pass this
place on the day previous and turning at the
school house, a few rods below, returned
very slowly, for sleighs in this region must
have shifting shafts else they will cut the
road badly. The team drove awav toward
Brighton. The party which desecrated the
grave consisted of four persons with a span
of horses and the foot prints of all were easily
traced in the snow which fell the night of the
affair This is the third case of body snatch
ing in the same locality in forty years and
the citizens are greatly excited.
