With reference to his compromise with
the Joint Traffic association. Receiver
Pierce OF Glover Leaf says: "Of course
the Glover Leaf being in receivers
hands can not he a party to any agree
ment or join any association. Still we
are not cutting rates, and the prcsi-
dents know it. We do not have to cut
rates out of st. Louis To get business.
The Glover Leaf is the only east and
west line out of St Louis which does
not belong tn the Joint Traffic associa-

Zation of the Baltimore and Ohio rail
road are being held daily, and it Is
probable that the fun reorganization
committee Will be announced this week
who the foreign members of the COM
rnittee will be is not exactly known, but
they are likely to be representatives of
houses who tloated the bonds abroad.
The purchase by these houses of the
coupons on Baltimore and Ohio bonds
puts them in position to dictate terms
i'm the reorganization scheme If they see
tit To do So. The understanding of the
New York directors who are acting as
reorganization committee is that the
London houses do not intend to press
matters. but on the contrary that they
VIII act in cOnsOnance with the New
York committee. No property has as
yet been prepared, and none will be for
some time. The Baltimore and Ohio

finances. it Is stated, must necessarily

Dead and Injured.

and work of destruction at the Coronado
and Emmett mines. The following is
the list Of the dead and injured: Dead:
Bert Meier and James Lenson, both
miners employed at the Coronado, who
were killed by the explosion. They were
identified only by means of papers found
on the bodies. Dying: William O'Keefe,
foreman of hose company No. 2, shot
through the stomach; J. Higgines, u
miner employed at the Coronado, shot
eight times in the arms and stomach; /;
John Mahoney, miner, shot through the
stomach. Injured: Frank Telle and
Martin Scott, both Coronado miners.
Their wounds are not believed to be
fatal.
Mahorey, who was shot near the En-
NETT mine, claims he was there merely
As d spectator. At least three of the
attacking party at Emmett were seen to
be hit with bullets, but they were
carried away by their comrades The
Coronado people heard Of the coming of
trouble asst night, but the supposition
was that the attack was TO lie made at
the Emmett. Soon afteY the destruc-
t,ua commenced many Of the citizens
responded quickly, armed with rifles
and Hhutguns, but they could 90 little
in fighting fire AID dynamite. Foreman
D'hcait Was shot from behind, just
after he turned a stream On the Coro-
uaIp. The first attack was made with
dynamite near the oil tanks. The men
within iAclosure returned the attack, and
iusiale of bullets, followed by the
dynamite, did IFS work well.
II Is charged the Iaweesness Of last
1igAt vas due to Ii mob ot strikers, prin-
clpeily from the Cnur d .hlere country,
who have long been breeding trouble in
Leadylle and who, seeing that the etrike
was nearing an end, were determined to
make a final stroke This assertion is
largely made by the peaceful miners OF
the camp. Early last night there was
every evidence that the strike was
broken. Many miners had announced
their intention Of going to work this
morning After being repulsed at the
Emmett mine the mob, which mum bered
not over 30 persons, fled the town and
are hiding in the hills. Today hundreds
of miners say they will go to work al
once, They bitterly dsnounce the ex.
tremists and say their action has lost the

Night OF Horror and Excitement in

Camp.

LEADvILLE, Sept. 2l.-1'he great min.
ers' strike that has been in progress for
three months has finally eliminated in
bloodshed and destruction, This morn
ing at an early hour the Coronado and
Emmett mines were attacked by un-
known parties and with the use Of dyna
mite the shaft house and other buildings
of the former were soon in flames and
totally destroyed. During the progress
of the fire battle ensued between the
attacking party and the men employed
in the mine. The utmost excitement
prevailed, the militia and fire. depart
ments were called out, and hundreds Of
armed citizens responded to the alarm.
For d time the tiremen we're not allowed
to work by the rioters, and when they
finally got into service it was too late to
save the mining property and they had
to turn their attention to adjoining prop
erty.

LEADvILLE, Sept. 22.-Over 1000
members of the national guard of the
state of Colorado, under command of
Gen. Edgar Brooks, are now on duty in
this city. Some of them are doing guard
duty at the Maid of Erin and other
mines, where an attempted destruction
of property is apprehended, but the
main body is encamped near the Denver
e. Rio Grande railroad depot. The
streets are filled with idle men, excitedly
discussing the situation, but no violence
has been done since the attacks upon
the Coronado and Emmett mines early
yesterday, in which it is now known
that at least six men were killed. No
attempt has yet been made to resume
operations at any of the mines, which
are closed in consequence of the strike,
but it is believed that, as many of the
miners are desirous of returning to work,
some of the mines will soon be reopened

aud Cripple Creek arrived at 4:l0 this
afternoon, and are now on duty. Gen.
Brooks with several other companies
will arrive during the night. The dam
age at Coronado by the burning of the

is $4,000 insurance. The houses burned
were valued at $4,000, with no insurance.
Despite the presence Of the troops and
the unusual quietness of the streets, there
is very uneasy feeling prevalent, it
being asserted that there are 5000 Win

AUGUSTA, Sept lS-The weather for
the past 10 days has severely injured

Quite number Of farmers had delayed

of the season and now when it is too
late, regret it, Never did the old adage
seem of more Importance than this sea-

wheat and oat crops of this section is
uncut and quite large portion of it has
been broken down by the wet enows ard

shock is damaged some and will be more
or less stained and bleached.
The people of this vicinity expect to
ship about two train loads of fine beef
cattle to the Chicago market two weeks

make three trains, and there will be at
least two more this fall. This is what

important to scan carefully the legisla
tive ticket and vote for none but compe

question is beyond question. Very often
too often, in fact, men are nominated
who have but very little to qualif,

HOW TO CARE FOR CLOTHING.



used Articles.
If in freshly whitewashed closet it
is necessary to hang dark clothing, tack
against the wall an old piece of sheeting
or calico as protection for the clothes
against the lime, which would other
wise rub on them. The cleat upon which
the hooks are screwed should be about
~ or feet from the floor, and your
closet shelf about 3 inches above the
cleat. This is convenient distance and
prevents reaching and straining when
things are to be put on or taken off the
shelf. The capacity Of closet is in
creased by screwing to the underside OF
the shelf a row Of double hooks shaped
like the letter 7. Another excellent plan
is to run a rod across tho closet length
wise and then fasten to this number
Of movable hooks Of galvanized wire.
These hooks are excellent, as the cloth
ing can be hung loosely Oh them, and
they can be pushed along the rod to make
room in the same way that clothing
stores arrange dresses and coats. The
yokes which many clothing houses send
along with coats and wraps are the best
things for keeping cloaks and wraps in
shape. Any housekeeper can make her
self a supply Of these by taking pieces
Of barrel hoops about 10 or IL inches
long and winding about them pieces Of
old cambria or muslin.
Woolen will not serve, as it invites
the attention of moths. Suspend the
yokes by loop made at the center with
stout cord, wire or cloth.
Closet floors need special attention.
Wide cracks in them collect dust and
lint OF afford lodgment to moths and
other troublesome insects. These should
be carefully filled with putty Or plaster
of paris. A good substitute for these is
newspaper shredded finely and made
into paste with gum tragacanth or a
little hot water and glue.
Camphor, tar balls, tarred paper and
cedar chests have proved inadequate as
moth exterminators. 1t seems to be de-
cided that the only safe thing is to thor
oughly beat all dust out of the clothes.
give them thorough summing, wrap
them first in a piece of old muslin,
then tightly inclose the bundle in news
paper. Printers ink is very distasteful
to insect forces.
A wise plan is to label these parcels,
as the uniformity of appearance may
lead to mistakes. Tack sect of paper
on the inside of closet doors and on the
lids of boxes and trunks. As each gar
ment is laid away write its name on the
paper. By this plan the closet, the shelf
and the package which holds q desired
garment can be recognized at glance.
