Cniontown to-day completing arrangements
for the trial OF the widows and orphans OF
the Hill Farm miners against the Dunbar
Furnace Company. About So, 900 will be
the damages demanded by each of the %
widows. 1t is understood that the company
has made overtures to the widows for a COM
promise, to the effect that if the suits are
withdrawn the company will allow each
widow a reasonable amouat. 1t is not
known when the trial against Superintend-
ent Lang for criminal negligence will come

were horritied to see all of their ten compan-
IONS stretched out on the ground unconscious
HE alarm was gwen, and the men were car

imposslbllity to proceed any further, and the
long deferred hopes of the wives and mothers
are finally totally dissipated. The opening to
the main entry was closed up to-day and oper-
atiOns indefinitely suspended. 1t Is believed
that all of the bodies Of the miners have been

the disease at its foundation by eliminating the
