MINERS HOLD OUT.
They Refuse to Accept the Starvation
Wages offered.

SPRING VALLEY, H., Sept. 9.-The miners
held mass-meeting to-day and declined to ac-
cept Mr. Scott's offer of a ffteen-cent reduc-
ton, which, they say, with the terms proposed,
is really reduction of 50 cents ton. Resolu-
tions were adopted denOuncing Mr.. Scotts
proposition as both unjust and unreasonable,
as the men could not make bare subsistence on
the terms offered and declaring that it had not
been sufficiently demonstrated that there is any
reason necessity for such reduction.
The resolutions declare that the men are
ready and willing to resume work on the same
terms as have been accepted by the Streator
miners-a reduction of ~ cents a ton, with the
same conditions as last year, the operators
charging nothing for house rent
during the lockout and furnishing coal
to miners at cost Resolutions were also
drafted to be presented to the governor. in
vting him to make personal investigation,
and setting forth that the Spring Valley COM
pany, after having induced men to come here
and buy property and securing the payment of
the same by mortgage, and also offering In
ducements to merchants to come here after
getting the mines fairly developed, had shut
down indefinitely, leaving the miners and others
who had invested here In a state of bank
ruptcy; also appealing for aid and asking that
a portion of the emergency fund be given TO
the suffering people here and requesting that
a special session of the legislature be called.
The miners appointed a committee TO notify
the officials here, but were told by the general
manager that no committee or organization
would be dealt with, and that the men would
have to come to him personally.

THE ANTWERP DISASTER
One Hundred and Thirty Whole Corpses
Now in the Morgues.


Now in the Morgues.
ANTWERP, Sept. THE fire is still rag
ing, all efforts OF the fremen, assisted by
the military and the populace, to quell it
having so far proved unavailing. The
docks and shipping are untouched by the
flames, as the direction of the wind has
been toward the town continuously. 4
judicial inquiry into the origin of the ex-
plosion has been ordered.
It IS now estimated that the number of
deaths by yesterdays disaster will exceed
two hundred. Two hundred and fifty
persons were seriously, and three hundred
slightly injured.
The iremen and troops were worked
through the entire night on hourly shifts.
Many of them succumbed to the heat and
emoke, and had to be conveyed to hos
pitfalls, insensible, on stretchers All the
workers have blackened faces and bear
evidences of the sickening effects of the
dense smoke which clogged their efforts.
Work is now entirely confined to keep the
fire from spreading beyond the sheds and
factories within the dry dock. The wind
still continues favorable.
SlX mllilOn llterS OF petroleum are In
flames. The oil, it is expected, will con-
tinue to burn at least until Monday.
At the moment of the explosion many
of the workmen jumped into the Scheldt
In their fright and were drowned. A num-
ber OF sailors and custom officers were
killed on board ships by the flying bullets
and ships were riddled by the missiles. 1t
is estimated that 1000 tons of cartridges
exploded. The noise was heard thirty
miles away. The smoke which filled the
air was greater in volume than that of a
battle.
Human heads and other parts Of bodies
were found half a mile away from the
scene of the disaster. One hundred and
thirty whole corpses lie in the morgues and
charred heaps of human remains repre-
sent an unknown number OF dead. The
first officer of the Red Star line steamer
Zealand was terribly wounded on board
his ship.
The populace watched the flames all
night. The noise of the exploding barrels
OF oil and the falling of the ruins exactly
resembled the sounds of battle. Those
who have been deprived of their homes
by the fire are encamped upon the river
banks. The water works which cost
ES0,00O are three parts destroyed.

SMOOTH Mr.. FORREST.
He Steals the Blood-Stained Planks of the
Carlson Cottage


CHICAGO, Sept. "a sensational affair in
connection with the Cronin trial occurred
this evening in the noted Carlson cottage.
About o'clock Mr.. Forrest, one
of the attorneys for the defendants,
drove up to the cottage accompanied by three
other men, and after paying the usual admis-
sion fee, entered with his companions. The
only inmates of the cottage at the time were
Mr.. and Mrs Lingren, the son-n-law and
daughter of the old Carlson couple. They
showed the visitors about the interior,
giving the customary description of
the supposed incidents of the fatal
night of May A. and pointing out the blood
stains on the floor and walls which are in.
closed by !. railing to keep relic-hunters away.
Lawyer Forrest asked Lingren to show him
where O'Sullivan, the ice man, resided, and
Lingren accommodatingly took him to
window in the end of the house and described
the locality. While the pair were thus en-
gagged Forests companions jumped over
the railing, and with sharp tools rapidly
cut out such portions OF the flooring
and walls as they wanted. Lingren turned
and saw them. and after endeavoring in
vain to make them desist, shouted for
aid Old man Carlson came rushing in with a
cooked revolver, but Forests companions
were prepared for such a contingency, aod dis
armed the old man.
The party then entered their carriages and
drove back to the cily with the blood-staned
boards presumably for use as an exhibit in
the trial.

Severe Attack OF Pneumonia Seriously
Threatens the Congressman's Life.
NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-An evening paper says:
Congressman Sam Sullivan Cox is dying at his
home, No. 13 E. Twelfth-st. Four days ago he
was confined to his bed by an attack of what
he supposed to be malarial fever. This rapidly
developed into acute pneumonia, which has de-
fed the best medical skill. Yesterday his ply
sicians gave up all hope and announce
that the days of the statesman-h hum
orist could be numbered on the
fingers of one hand. Congressman Cox
was to have lectured on his visit to Yellowstone
park before the Steckler association tomorrow
night" At 3 o'clock this afternoon Mr. Cox
was reported as being very low. A conference
has been held by his physicians, Messrs. Lock-
wood, Skidder, Wynloop, and Sauer of Wash
ington. The result of the conference showed
that while Mr.. Cox is very low there is no i'm
mediate danger.
At 10 O'Clock tonight Mr.. Cox's condition
was apparently unchanged. His doctors say
the next twelve hours will decide whether he
will recover or not

HosTILlTIes WILL NOW CEASE.
The Probable End of the Hatfield eco,
Feud-Sentenced For Life.

Feud-Sentenced For Life.
PINEvILLE, KY Sept. 5.-The trial of Wall
Hatfield has been concluded. The jury found
him guilty of being accessory to the act of
numbering the three McCoys-Tolbert aged
thirty-eight syears; Randall, nineteen. and
Farmer, fourteen. Alexander Musser confessed
to the murder of Farmer, the youngest, and
both were sentenced to the penitentiary for
life. Their trials are the result of the
Hatfeld-McCOy feud, which has caused so much
terror on the line of Kentucky and West Vir-
ginia during the past two or three years. 1t
would be difficult to ascertain just how many
lives have been sacrificed in this famous ven
detta. Indeed, it is doubtful if anybody
knows. The bloody dOings of the two tribes first
began to be made public the latter part of 1887.
and since then scarcely a month has passed
without news concerning the feud There have
been several trials but few convictions. Now
that most of the murderous gangs on both sides
are dead or in prison there is likely to be ces-
sation of hostilities until another generation
comes on.

THE New Orleans Times Democrat
is not among the number of those
who lay back and kick at the deep
water conventions and plead the
claims of New Orleans in inaction.
The Times Democrat is of opinion
that New Orleans missed it bad in
not taking deep interest in that con-
vention. The convention, however,
was called in the interest of a deep
water harbor on the coast of the Gulf
of Mexico, west OF certain parallel of
longitude which excluded New Or
leans. The intent was to secure a
harbOr on the gulf as far west on the
guilt as practicable. New Orleans
could have represented herselfat that
convention and her claims to receive
a large freight from the eastern sec
tons of the Mississippi region,
but could not have taken any active
part in the proceedings of the conven-
ton as she is geographically outside
the territory included in that call.
