TALKS ABOUT THE COKE SCALE.

Robert watcbOru Has n Say About the
Meaning of the Agreement.
Robert Wstchorn, Secretary Treasurer of
n. T. A. 135, Z. of L., talked with a
DISPATCH reporter last night, on mining
matters. In connection with the coke scale.
he said:
''If the scale, last August, had. been
worded so as to read: This scale is to take
effect on the 9th of August, and to be bind
ing upon both parties, indefinitely, unless
80 days notice shall be given by either
party to terminate the same, but neither
party can give said 30 days notice previous
to the 9th of January, 1t could not more
clearly have conveyed the ideas of all the
signers than it does in its present phraseol-
ogy. The representatives of the operators
seem to attach consequence to the phrasing
and take nominal exception to the technical
ity. but in my judgment, it cannot stand in
the way of the scale being signed. There is
a conciliatory spirit on both sides and can
see no possible chance for a rupture.
1.-The clause in the scale that seems to give
the operators the hardest swallowing is that
providing for ratio of increase in the rates
paid Tor working consequent on increase in
values. The operators make the claim that
if coke rose to ~ per ton that the worker
would get most of the profit Now, that is
wrong. Take miner who is paid 81 05
per 100 bushels, his proportion of the rise
from 81 so to 81 90 would be 35 cents, or
about 81 cents per ton, which would leave
the operator 10 cents per ton, or go cents per
100 bushels, sufficiently good margin out
of which to pay the other hands in the same
ratio. Coke at 81 90 is price which in
cludes everything invested by the capitalist,
his works, plant, interest on capital, his Ia
Dor hire, etc, and if at that price he can
earn a profit. why should he alone reap the
benefit of rising market, and why should
he not in fairness share portion of his added
profit With his men, whose toll makes the
commodity marketable? believe that the
operators will sign the scale presented. If
they don't why there will not be any coke
produced after the 9th OF February. doubt
though if it will come to a strike"

OnclaI Observation and Figures Fall TO
Confirm the Fenrs.
At the Bureau OF Health no reports Of
cases of influenza have been received from
physicians, and not single death from that
cause has been reported. The death reports
for the past two months show decided de-
crease in the mortality percentage over that
of preceding years.
The figures for December were published
in The DISPATCH over week ago. The
percentage OF deaths was only 16 out OF
1000 inhabitants. That is remarkably low.
Chief Clerk McKelvey said yesterday:
1.-THE only indication we have of influenza
is the report of deaths from pneumonia.
That disease has been much less fatal than
during several former years. To-day we
have issued seven burial permits. Or that
number two have died of pneumonia. Dur
ing the last three days there has been quite
q number of deaths from that cause, but
taking the winter through the fatalities have
been few. Doctors have been requested to
report cases of epidemic influenza, but not
one has been reported"

MAEDEVILLEs SIDE OF IT.

eh.TrocnderO Affair.

rBY DUNLAP's CABLE CoMPANY.1
LONDON. January l0-The disgraceful fracas
between Charley Mitchell and Lord Viscount
Vaudeville at the Trocadero is still the main
topic of discussion in sporting circles Mande-
vile has conducted himself here very much as
he did in New York, frequenting low resorts
and reveling in the companionship OF roughs
and loafers. He was interviewed to-day at his
residence on Fitzroy Square, and gave his YER
sion Of the affair.
81 gave Mitchell no provocation whatever
for the assault he said. u had just left the
Pelican Club, after the meeting OF the Smith
Slav1n committee, and was accompanied by
Mr.. Baird. We went into the Trocadero about
II o'clock, and we were there Joined by Charley
Mitchell, who approached us in friendly man
ner. shook our hands warmly, and made some
social remarks. Shortly a gentleman in the
front row of stalls began hourishing Jem
Smiths colors. AT first Mitchell took no notice
Of the demonstration until the gentleman
threw the cnlors over his shoulder. This
seemed to ipfuriate Mitchell, and he suddenly
turned on Bard, shouting at the top of his
voice: You did this for me, and I'll give you
good poke in the eye for it, accompanying his
threat with gesture as though he were about
20 strike.
II pushed him back and said, Don't be fool.
Charley; keep quiet Matters quieted down
then, and thought it had blown over, when,
Just at the conclusion of the performances,
Bard and started for the bar, Baird a little in
advance. As we entered the room received a
frightful blow under my right ear, SO severe
that fell to the ground senseless. When l
recovered there was crowd standing about
me. and Baird was lifting me to my feet. lie
told me Mitchell had struck me, and then
jumped in a cab and escaped"
Charley Mitchell was seen later in the day,
and, while he declined to be interviewed, he
volunteered the remark: Vaudeville pro-
voked me deliberately, and 1 will thrash him
again il be continues his annoyance"
Mandeville looks more dissipated than ever.
This contretempS, in connection with the row
of the Smith-Slavin fight, will assist in the
downfall of the Pelican Club.

FOGARTY'S SWEEPER.
He VIII Fight Any NIiddIe-weiEht in the
World.

World.
There is now no doubt about the intentions
of Jack Fogarty and his hackers. They all
think that Fogarty is just trife or so better
than anybody else at l5S pounds, and they have
stated this opinion several times.
Last night John Quinn put up $3.50 with the
sporting editor of this paper as forfeit to the
effect that Jack Fogarty can defeat any man
living at 156 pounds. The challenge is plain
enough and the money, that is the forfeit is in
this Office. From now on let no man living saw
he is middle-weight champion and allow this
bona hde challenge TO go unnoticed. Fogarty
has backing, and the forfeit in this office means
at least that he is prepared TO meet any middle
weight in the world for the highest title.
The challenge. accompanied as it is by a sub
stantial forfeit, makes it as bona ide as any
challenge that has ever been issued in the his
tory Of the prize ring There is no haste about
d, because time will be allowed for it TO reash

WHY IT MIGHT BE BAD.

Patients who were just recovering from
colds would, on bright, clear day, risk
much that they would hesitate about in
damp or cold weather. A relapse was very
much harder to deal with than the first
attack.
A number of typical fever cases are occu-
pying the attention of DIR. Horner, and a
good deal of general illness. He said: "We
are pretty busy now, but no great scourge is
visiting the city at present. 1 do not antic-
ipate a serious result from the mild
weather"
An unusually good state of health was
found existing among the Inmates of the
various charitable homes for children in the
city. At the Allegheny Day Nursery, on
North avenue, rosy cheeks and bright eyes
abounded, ard not one little one could be
found who was, SO to speak, under the
weather. In four weeks the matron eaid
they had cared for 155 children, and all o.
them were now enjoying the best of health.
DR.. J. h. Wright, of North Diamond
street, said: "From my observations 1 can
say that the general health of the city is
good, outside of large number of very Sc
we're colds. There is some influenza, but it is
to be expected in this kind of weather"

A MOST oBLIGING DOCTOR.

He would always crafty them, and say:
''Yes, you have the so-called Pittsburg
grip" The doctor added that theres was
great difference between the Russian disease
and the indisposition from which Pitts
burgers are suffering. I'm the foreign i'm
portation, he said, "the temperature goes
up to 104 and 105, and victims experience
great suffering. have not had grip pa
tient yet whose temperature has exceeded
102. It is catarrhal affection, and runs
into pneumonia sometimes. As to the gen.
eral state of health prevalent, DIR. Kerr said
that it was about the same as is
generally experienced at this time Of year;
perhaps a little better. There was very
little scarlet fever or diphtheria, but consid-
erable typhoid, though not as much as there
had been earlier in the season.
DIR. j. Richie Horner said he had had but
one case of the genuine Russian disease.
The patient was taken with convulsions and
Inconsistencies, varied with wild delirium.
He suffered from severe cerebral congestion.
He was i'll about three days, and then en-
tered the convalescent stage. A great many
cases of severe cold had been under the doc
tors care, however; and though such was
the result of the atmospherical condition of
the past month, yet he thought the change
in the weather just at present would act un-
favorably and result fatally in some cases.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1890-01-11

patients, and so far there had been no fatal
results. He wished, however, for frost and
dry weather, which, he said, would have
the effect of sweeping away the grip alto
gether.
DR.. B. Kerr said he had really not seen
one case of the dreaded Russian grip, but
that great many people were suffering
from severe colds, resulting from the damp,
unpleasant weather. The doctor further
remarked that it was sort of epidemic, and
that each and every victim, on account of
the "fashionableness" of the grip, desired
that the name might be applied to their in
disposition.
