Full Details of the Aftermath of Mondays Horrible
 Tragedy.

Two more deaths are recorded as result of the bloody battle at slope No. 8.
 In the riot which occurred at Pratt mines Monday afternoon it has developed that another striker, supposed to be a French man, was killed. A wagon was seen to go in the direction of where the fight occurred and to pick up body and hustle it off.
 What his name was or where he was shot no one seems to know, for none of the strikers will talk.
 Another negro miner, whose name has not been learned, was found dead early yesterday morning at the scene of battle.
 This increases the death list to four, with the possibility of another dying.
 Just how many were wounded will never be known, but it is thought that not less than dozen strikers were wounded.
 TWO MEETINGS HELD.
 It developed yesterday that two meetings were held by striking miners Monday, one at the old Jefferson mill, some two miles from slope No. 8, Pratt mines, and the other in the woods near Ensley bridge and within quarter of a mile of where Camp Forney was located.
 The Frenchmau who was so badly shot and afterwards captured admits having at tended tho meeting at the mill, but will not say just what transpired there or What> was agreed upon.
 The meeting held in the woods near Ens- ley City, it is estimated, was attended by at least 2C0 men, who remained in that vicinity for two or three hours, leaving there about o'clock and going in the di- rection of slope No. A. What was done at this meeting has not been made public and if any of those now in jail Were present they have not yet admitted it. Several parties passing along the road, which runs near by the bridge, saw the gathering of men and the matter was reported to others.
 The wounded Frenchman was getting along very well at late hour last night, and the chances now are that he will get we'll.
 Three of those under arrest have admitted attending the meeting at the old mill, but they will not divulge anything done there. Deputy sherlff3 were kept busy yesterday bringing prisoners in from Pratt City.
 LARGE NUMBER OF ARRESTS.
 At 6 o'clock in the afternoon fifty eight striking miners, about equally divided, white and colored, had been lodged in the county jail.
