PocAuoSrAs, Va, May 5.-Thla has
been fold day for tho minors' union.
Tho West Virginia miners havo been
pouring into Virginia all Sabbath from
tho Wost Virginia operations. At Poca,
milo cast oi this place, thoy held a
meeting upon a hill. Diatric! Chair.

local leaders Of West Virginia were in
attendance. Tho speeches coungelled
order to tho 5000 men presput, aud tho
meeting was iroo from any incidents or
disturbances. Itwasyery evident from
tho tono OF tho assemblngo that tho
Pocahontas miners had decided to join
tho strike. .ss1s
Tho meeting will, It 10 believed, sottlo
the strike. Tho union mon have
brought to bear every. possible means
to induce tho minersto Join thom. Law.

servo good behavior. The other speak,
ers, both black and white, gavo versions
Of their grievances. and counsellOd tho
preservation oil peace, but to unite aud
fight out for tho law, and for thc!r
rights. .1NliE
All seemed TO think that tho strike
would win whether tho PocahontaB mon
came out or not, but that with their
union the field could be won much
sooner. They claim that tho present
charges for provisions and house rent
arc 90 high that they could not live at
three cents less per ton Tor labor. Tho
meeting to-day, which lasted until
night, has put different phase on the
situation so far as tho PoCahontss men
are involved, and developments plainly
indicate that few men will work to-
morrow, II any. The union men arc
working hard tonight, so that the few
remaining men who have not joined,
will be brought In tomorrow.

greatly concerned over tho prospects for

The river is getting so low that no re-.
lief can be expected long from western
Pennsylvania, and the situation in the
Pittsburgh districts is not considered
much better than In Ohio. There are
some who regard tho situation less en-
couragiug than last year, when tho
general strike prevailed. II the miners

ALBERT L. CAS- ARKESTED.
Charged with Embezzling $1,000
From the Water Works once.

The sensation of the hour is the
arrest of Albert Lucas about l
O'Clock this afternoon. Mr.. Lucas
returned this morning by the
Mariposa, and was placed under
arrest shortly after taking lunch
at Notes. The warrant of arrest
is sworn to by III. E. Cooper,
Minister of Foreign Affairs, and
alleges that during six months
last past Albert Lucas fraudulent
ly appropriated to his own use
the sum of $1,000, the same being
money intrusted TO his charge
as secretary of the department Of
Water Works.
1t has been known for some
time past that deficiency existed
in the receipts of the department,
and INN adiately after Mr.. Lucas
was discharged from the office for
his connection with the Thirteen
Club a superficial examination of
the books was made but nothing
wrong was apparent. A more
careful exporting of his accounts
shows the above deficiency. 1t
is also said that the total defalca-
ton amounts to about $4,000 and
that they have been extending
over II period from the end Of
1892 to the time of his discharge.
Proof to be presented by the
prosecution will be stubs Of re-
ceipt books from which there are
no entries in the cash book.
