STRIKE SETTLED.
The Elm Grove Miners Will Go to
Work This Morning compromise
Offered by the Operators Was Ac-
C0pted.

The strike Of the employees of the
Elm Grove coal works against reduc-
ton OF seven cents per car. was annie
ably settled last night, when a COM
mittee representing the miners &C
cepted the terms of compromise offered
by the operators, and agreed to return
to work this morning. The men went
on a. strike about two weeks ago, when
the operators claimed to have discover
ed that they were paying their en-
ployes more than miners were receiv-
ing elsewhere, and ordered reduction
from 43 cents to 81 cents a car.
The operators announced that they
would start non-union, but did not do
so. Leaders of the strikers made an
effort to reach a settlement with the
operators. The latter finally agreed TO
r1y 40 cents per car. A meeting was
held at Elm Grove last night, and
prominent officers Of the L. NJ. ". of A.
advised the miners 10 return to work
at the wages offered and preserve their
organization. rather than permit indi-
vidual members to return to work at
81 cents. The committee Of miners
who were given authority to settle the
trouble. accepted the compromise
terms. and it is likely that al of the
men will return TO work, although
some of them openly expressed their
dissatisfaction last night.

The City Charter Commission met in
regular session, last evening, with At
torney William Erskine, its counsel,
and devoted several hours to further
consideration of those sections OF the
instrument which pertain to the gen.
eral powers of Council. Twelve or fiji
teen sections of the old charter, COM
mencing with 10. 80, were gone over,
and no material change was made in the
existing instrument, although there
was the usual amount of interesting
discussion upon the various points
brought up. In the genera! consider
ton of those sections relating to streets,
a change was made, however, which
will meet with general anOroval. EX-
listing laws require the property own
er 10 lay a pavement as soon as the
curling is set in front OF his residence,
else the city will lay the said pavement
and charge the cost thereof up as taxes,
with interest until paid, and this with
out regard TO whether or not the space
reserved for the pavement is five feet
above grade or ten feet below. II
above, the property owner must make
the cut down to the proper level, and if
below he must make a fill, and this
often doubles the expense. This fea-
ture was discussed last evening, and a
provision was incorporated requiring
the city to make the grade substan-
TALLY correct, at its expense, before
the property owner took hold of the
matter.
Another change which will meet
with popular approval was in the mat
ter of interest in delinquent taxes
The present law permits a charge of
ten per cent. per annum until paid.
and this in the face of the State law
that the legal rate of interest shall be
six per cent, and no more The Com
mission reduced the rate to six per
cent.
In the section relating to fire regu
lations. an amendment was made so as
10 include modern fire-proof building
material. The present law specifies
nothing but brick and stone, while
iron, steel, stucco, and other materials
are now in use.
Various other points were covered,
but without completing this branch CT
the work the Commission adjourned
until next Monday night.

the corner of Twentieth and Market be-
fore they were stopped.
Several narrow escapes were made
by people on the street at the time.
but no person was hurt. The driver, as
far as could be learned, sustained no in
juries.
The horses ran up on the sidewalk at
the Dudley supply house and damaged
several plOws that were standing out
side, and tore the awning in front of
the store TO fragments.
