Philadelphia. May 1S.--A special to the

The miners strike has ended in a disas-
trous defeat all over the district. The re-

to-day under an ironclad agreement at 60

agreement includes a deposit Of 10 per

deposit being forfeitable if the men Join a

BROKER BIER IN A BAD BOX.
HIS LAWYERS HAVE SLIM CLAIMS
FOR A NEW TRIAL.

An Application for one to ne Made,

dcncc OF AcauittaI Felt by the
Prisoner and His Lawyers Largely
Responsible for His ConvictIOn-He
Was Out On Only $4,000 bail and
Could Have Easily Escaped From
the Country.
New Orleans May 1s-Henry Bier. tho
Carondelet street broker. is now a pris-
oner In the parish prison awaiting the SEN
tence of the court IL Is understood that
his attorneys will move for a new trial
on Monday next They are very conf
dent that Judge Noise will grant them a
new trial after they have presented their
case. The defense have very little on
which TO carry the case to the supreme
court. according to what was learned this
morning. During the long trial Of the
case the defense took but one bill OF ex-
ccptions and that was with respect TO the
admissability of some evidence. There Is,
therefore, little of record upon which to
take the case to the supreme c0urt. and
Tor that reason 1t is anticipated that an
especially vigorous effort will be made to
present as strong a case as possible to
Judge Noise himself. Unless the proceed
ings TO have the verdict set aside are
prosecuted with vigOr Mr.. Bier Is In a
fair way TO spend several months in the
parish prison. This is the 18th day OF
May and the supreme court will adjourn
for It's summer recess at the end OF June,
as provided In the law passed by the Leg
islature last year. The court will then
not reassemble until November.
II is customary to arraign a man for sem
tence after he Is convicted In the crim-
inal court five days after the verdict has
been rendered II such should be the plan
Of procedure In the Bier case Mr.. Bier
would be asked to appear toward the end
Of next week.
The position OF Henry Bier at this mo-
ment to a man of his sensitive nature,
Is most humiliating and deplOrahle one.
UP 10 me moment that his case was pre-
sented to the jury for consideration, he
felt confident that verdict Of not guilty
would be returned and honorable dis
charge by the court would surely follow.
His counsel were OF the Same opinion, as
has been evidenced by their supreme con-
hdence during the hearing Of the testi-
mony Of the state witnesses while on the
stand.
The convicted capitalist Is completely
broken down and despite the efforts of his
numerous friends, who have been constant
IN their attendance upon him he continues
to droop and worry over the stigma cast
upon his name
A feature in connection with the case
which has gained friends for Bier was
the TACT that he was man of immense
wealth and his bond was but $500, to
him mere bagatelle. Had he feared con-
viction, he could have left the country by
jumping his bond, as he had made all the
necessary preparations by closing his busi-
ness, for the purpose Of living in France.
He could have made good the loss TO his
bondsmen IN that event, and the extradi-
tion treaties would not have brought him
back for hearing.
II is conceded on all sides that II was the
supreme confidence OF Bier and his attor-
neys that resulted I'm his conviction.

Washington, May 1S.-The epidemic at
