IN ACTUAL WANT.
Distressing Condition of Affairs In tho,
Indiana Coal Fields.

Indiana Coal Fields.
BRAZIL, Ind, Dec. 15.-Dismal in
deed must be the Christmastide of the
thousands who depend for livelihood
on employment in the Indiana coal
fields, for the bitter fact has to be
faced that hunger and misery tenant
the wretched huts in which the strik-
ing miners and their families are
huddled together. The cry of the
operators is mo surrender" and the
men, almost in starving condition,
are determined to keep on fighting.
1t is an absolute fact that the strikers
and their families have been for the last
two weeks trying to keep soul and body
together on one meal day. and that a
very scant one. This is true of close on
90, 900 men, women and children who are
affected by the strike. At Harmony, Clay
City, Lodi. Watson Block. Perth, Carbon
and Knightsville the scenes which con-
front one are pathetic in the extreme.
An appeal has been issued to the
miners OF the country, signed by the
national executive board of the coal
miners association OF the United
State, asking every miner to tax him
self not less than twenty-five cents q
week for the relief of the strikers.
Every local secretary in the United
States is directed to call meeting in
his district at once in order that the
fund may be started without delay.

RETURN or "A GRIPPE.

thousands OF Cases Of tho Dread Disease
In 1t. Louis, Indianapolis aud Cincin-
natl. M
ST.. LOUIS, Mo-. Dec. 14.-Dr. Priest,
chief dispensary physician Of the city,
estimates the number OF cases OF la
grippe in St Louis Mt 10000. Three
hundred employees of one wholesale to-
bacco house have been compelled to
quit work, and the disease has affected
choir singers. While the mortality list
does not indicate a large number Of
deaths from la grippe directly, a great
percentage of them have been largely
due to complications of influenza and
chronic affection. There were thirty
nine more deaths during the last week
than during the one previous, or a
total of 232, an increase of seventy over
the same period last year Many local
physicians upon being interviewed say
that the disease is contagious or infec-
tious. Nearly all are agreed that in
form it is not as violent as it was last
season; that the exposure of the person
does not necessarily invite an attack,
but that the malady scizes upon those
whose systems is in poor condition.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. 14.-Phy'
| sicians estimate that there are 1000
cases of la grippe in the city, with bn;
small percentage under treatment
The victims have nearly all had n pre-
vious attack of the malady, and are
so well acquainted with its peculiar
tiles that they do their own doctor
ing. There is scarcely family in the
city in which one or more persons can
not be found who have been or are suf
fering from the disease. In many o
the offices and stores the force of EN-
ployes is greatly reduced. There arr
but few employees who cannot repor
some of their help ut home sick. Th,
hotels report a few guests sick witt
the disease, but no one seriously.
CINCINNATI, Dec. 14.-La grippe ha
the appearance of being epidemic ii
Cincinnati Prof Benedict, dean o
the university, is down with it, an
seventy teachers in the public school
are more or less disabled by it A grea
many police officers have been lai
off duty by the disease. The publ
charity and penal institutions are yer
severely affected by it, and the malad
seems to be gaining in extent and vic
lence. There have been seven death
from influenza in very short time.

ALL LOST BUT ONE.
Thirty Men Drowned by tho Foundcrina
OF n British Vessel.

OF Britsn vessel
LONDON, Dec. l5.--Thirty lives arc
reported lost by the foundering Of the
British ship Enterlsin. She was bound
from Hull for Brisbane. and was
caught in the channel during the
heavy storm. Notwithstanding the
utmost efforts to save the vessel, she
was driven on the sands near Ramsgate
and went to pieces. The only person
known to be saved was an apprentice
boy.
The Enterliin took the hurricane Sat
urday night. She was standing on an
inshore tack and the wind blew so
furiously that it was impossible to
carry sail enough to prevent her
from making leeway and she
was driven ashore almost broadside.
After she had struck n part of the
crew succeeded in launching a boat
and got clear of the ship They headed
shoreward, but were almost immedi-
ately thrown into the sea by the
swamping of their boat by high
| roller, which broke over the stern and
filled it. Every man who was in the
boat was drowned almost in sight of
his comrades on the wreck.
| Shortly afterward, the ship, which
had been standing upon comparative
ly even keel, was struck by .tremen-
dously high sea and she heeled over
throwing every person aboard of her
into the water Only one of them, the
apprentice boy, whose name is Lewis,
succeeded in gaining the weather rig
ging, which by the heeling over of the
vessel was just awash.
Here the lad remained throughout
the night, drenched and almost frozen.
TN Sunday morning II fishing smack
under very short sail sighted the
wreck and bore down to it. With much
difficulty boat was got alongside the
Enterkin and Lewis was taken off.
Many of tile thirty drowned seameI
were foreigners.
The lucky apprentice and the brave
fishermen are the lions oof the hou
and an effort is to be made to Obtain
for the gallant fishermen the MEDIA
awarded by the Royal Humane so
ciety. A public subscription to pre-
sent the fishermen with u suitable tes
: timonial is also talked of.

of his underclothing. According to a

any room for doubt that the bomb
thrower and Henry L. Norcross are
identical His father, who was seen,
believes that such is the fact. The
Identification of the clothing has been
nude complete by the discovery that
the number upon the portion of the
trousers worn by the bomb
thrower and brought here from New
York corresponds exactly with the mum
ber against the name of Norcross on
the books of Brooks, the Washington
street tailor, who made a suit of clothes
for Norcross last October. Mr.. Nor.
cross, Sr., says that his son left home
the day preceding. the New York af.
