A dispatch from Boston states that holders

fication of Receiver j. II. Wardwell, of the
Cleveland, Canton & Southern, that he has
been instructed to take up the defaulted cou-
pons of the Cleveland & Canton first mortgage

are extensive holders of junior bonds. The
money to pay these has been advanced by the
two trust companies by the heirs of the Rotch
estate and others. The United States court in
Cleveland will undoubtedly be asked for asim-
ilsr order in regard to the coupons falling due
on Tuesday, and of course the order will be
promulgated This efiectually estops the first

NEW SCREENS
A Factor in the Settlement Between
Miners and Operators.

MAssILLoN, o., Jan. 7.-(Special. Miners
flocked to town, on today, in great numbers
to attend a delegate convention, clothed with
power to make any settlement with the opera
tors deemed proper. This would not be diff
cult ifthe miners did not believe they had
been tricked out of the difference between
the scale as adopted and that
offered by the operators last
August. Secretary Bishop, of the state board
of arbitration, has accomplished nothing. A
new factor in the existing trouble is The resist,
ance being offered to the new screens by the
land owners. All the coal leases in this field
provide for pay by weight over screens with a
II inch mesh, and as the new sceen has mesh
/ ofan inch wider, they want to be recon-
pensed for the difference, They have banded
themselves together and have a membership OF
80. Attorneys have been employed and in
functions have been threatened whenever the
mines start The operators think this trouble
can be adjusted with little difficulty.
