In the Buroing Building

New ROCHELLE, N. Y, Nov. 24.-Two
masked burglars forced an entrance into
Ollie CIRCUITS gents furnishing store at
this place last night. John Griffin. an en-
ployee of Orcutt who was asleep in a rear
bed room, was bound and gagged by the bur-
glars, after which they ransacked the place,
secured all the booty they could find, set
fire to the store, and left. Griffin could
make no outcry. Some one discovered the
fire and gave an alarm. The fire depart
ment responded. Griffin managed to crawl
along the floor until he reached partition.

him, smashed in the doors and rescued him.
He is suffering from nervous prostration as
a result of his horrible experience. The
damage is about $1,000. There is no clue

Alabama Coal Miners Want to Strike

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 2i.-Six thou
sand coal miners, nine-tenths of oil the
miners in Alabama, will probably go cut on
strike Dec. /. Representatives from every
mine in the State have been in session here
for week, and three days ago demanded
an increase of wages at the mines, to go
into effect Dec. l. This demand has been
refused by all mine operators, and strike
seems certain. Last July the miners signed
twelve months' contract on the sliding
scale, that is, the price of pig iron to govern
the price for mining They now propose
to break this contract and demand 80 CENTS
per ton in winter and IS cents per ton in
summer for mining.
