COLUMBUS, O., March l5-1he joint con-
vention Of Ohio and Pennsylvania miners
and operators continued In session all yester-
day with the same blue prospects of coming
to an agreement upon a scale of prices for
mine labor. Almost the entire day was spent
in hopeless wrangling, interspersed occasion
ally with a caucus of the opposing factions
Late In the day concessions from the original
demands were made by both operators and
miners as follows: The operators offer was,
for Hooking coal, 10 cents in summer and IS
cents in winter per ton, and Pittsburg coal
~ cents in summer and "A cents in winter
per ton. The miners proposition was for IS
cents the year around for Hooking and "A
cents for Pittsburg coal No further con-
cessions were made by either miners or
operators and consequently no agreement re-
suited
Strenuous efforts were made by several
prominent members of the convention to
bring about an amicable settlement of af-
fairs. and J. H. Hysell, member Of the Ohio
legislature, attempted to pour oil upon the
troubled waters, but in vain, as the conven-
ton adjourned sine die early last evening
From the result of this convention some BIT

Five Men Lose Their Lives and Half a
Dozen Wounded.
PITTsBURG, Pa, March IA battery of
boilers at the West Point Boiler works of
K. Monroe & Sons, at the corner Of Twenty
third and Smallman streets, exploded shortly
after noon Yesterday, completely wrecking
the plant and burying a number of men in
work to recover the dead and relieve the liv-
ing, and by 2p. m all had been taken from
the ruins, The dead are: August Lindebaugh,
engineer irightfully mangled; Charles Allen
backe, laborer, head and body burned; Dan
lei Clark, boiler-maker, mangled; John Rem
heimer boiierInaksr, soalded; James Carton,
helper.
The names of the most seriously injured
are: John Forest, helper; Harvey Barr,
helper; William Kelly, John Barber James
Cartney, Frank Alaneske
The explosion occurred Just after the noon
whistle had sounded and many of the work
men had left the works to get their dinners
The conclusion shook buildings for several
squares. In few minutes a crowd had
gathered about the wreck and the scene was
a heartrending one Wives, mothers and
children ran about wrnging their hands and
weeping, eagerly searching for their loved
ones
The boilers were inspected six months ago
and were thought to be in first-class condi-
ton. The real cause of the explosion will
probably never be known, as the engineer
was killed outright and no one else ha. been
found who was in the engine room at the
time the disaster took place.

Chicago Drainage Bill.
SPRINGFIELD, Is, March 1.-THE senate
yesterday confirmed the appointments made
by Governor Fifer Wednesday. The COM
mittee amendments to the revenue bill were
ing Deans bill providing for the support Of
public libraries was passed, as was the bill
providing that un claimed monies in partition
suits be deposited in county treasures sub
ject to order of court
In the house the most important transaction
was the postponenIent of consideration of the
Chicago drainage bill to April IL. There was
sharp fight over this measure, and lively
scramble for votes when it was seen
that the motion for postponement
would carry. MayorRoche and other
Chicagoans worked like beavers among
the Republicans who had voted to
postpone, while ldge Prendergast used his
persuasive eloquence upon the Democrats.
On the other side Jones of Sangamon was
active rallying tho enemies of the measure
All who voted for postponement, however,
were not enemies Of the bill This was the
case with Lester, of Sangamon, and the
struggle for his vote was almost amusing.
When he voted first in favor of the postpone
ment he was threatened with opposition to
his supreme court bill from the drainage bill
men, and when later he changed his vote the
same threat was hurled at him from the other
side. The vote fo- postponement was 70 TO
81. Myer of Cook gave notice of a motion
for reconsideration.
The Merritt ant trust bill was ordered to
third reading after striking out the emerg-
ency clause.

AN observer asks the Indianapolis
Sentinel why Ben Hsrrisons old regiment
CHE Seventeen Indians) has 700 sur
vivors, while the average regiment of In
diana volunteers has only $50 survivors.
Also how many speeches Law Partner
and Atty Gen. W. H. Fl. Miller made
for Greeley in 1872. We are unable to
answer either question says the paper
alluded to. The members OF Ben Har-
rison's old regiment seem, for some
reason or other, to have escaped the or
binary vicissitudes of life, and, judging
from all accounts, 1t has more members
now than it had at the end of the war
Partner Miller was very active in the
Greeley campaign. He made good
many speeches. and very bitter ones they
were. too, in behalf of Greeley and the
whole democratic ticket. This is really
the most creditsble part of Partner Mil
ler's political record.
