They predicted that it will be one of
the most notable and one of the most
important gatherings that was ever

marked effect on the industrial situa-

corning the prospect of the meeting,
Mr.. Ratchford said:
Many organizations have flooded our
office in Columbus with inquiries con-
corning the great gathering. From
every section Of the country we have
received letters of approval. Many of
them express approval of our plan, and

the greatest gatherings in the country.
I'VE will take steps to remedy the
use and abuse of the un-American in
junction which our courts have seen
fit to grant. If the st. Louis confer
ence does what 1 believe it will, 1t will
bring about a general strike Of all the
branches of trade in the United States.
1t will bring out not only those in SYM
pathy with the miners altogether, but
will also embrace a demand for an

said that it will mean an instruction.

thrust upon us by the operators and

GARRISON ARRIVES.
A Fitting Welcome for the Com
mandeF-in-Chief.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Aug. 23.-Thad-
deus S. Clarkson, commander-in-chief
of the Grand Army arrived at his
quarters at the Iroquois hotel to-
day, and his reception constituted the
first event of the week of the encamp-
ment. He was met at the station by
local G. A. r. men and members of
the reception committee, and escorted
to the hotel where he5was officially re-
ceived by Col. Winans, chief of the
headquarters staff.
Outside the station 200 members of
Burwell- Wilson Post No 9, the star or
ganization of Buffalo. waited to escort
Gen. Clarkson to his headquarters. AS
the commander-in-ch stepped from
the train, he was warmly welcomed to
the Queen City by Justice Truman
White, of the reception committee, and
Col. Albert Shaw, commander-in-chief

with the fairest weather we can have"
says S. H. Hail. "the potato crop of the
country will not be over SO per cent of that of
last year and not over 70 per cent of good
crop. Prices of potatoes in Minneapolis, will
range between 80 and so cents for the fall
season. The Minnesota crop is better than
that of Wisconsin or Michigan
Mr.. Hall estimates the value of the Mime
sofa potato crop this year at $1,000 900. This
is. three times the value of the crop of 1895,
or that of 1896, though 1t Is a much smaller
crop than that of either year. says the Com
mercial Bulletin. 1t looks today as though
the farmers will be well paid for their work
in the potato field this season. The demand
for potatoes from this market is very good,
and enough fancy potatoes cannot be had to
fill orders. All the territory lying south of
a line drawn through Chicago and New York
will be in need of Northern potatoes this
season. This means steady demand and a
good market. There will be few potatoes
used for starch this season, because of the
high price. The early potato crop is not as
good as the late promises. to be. The late
crop will be good in quality as we'll as in
quantity.

Deadly gasoline was the cause of
another serious burning early last
evening, and, as a result, Louis Rehl,
S06la Tenth street south, a well-known
bicycle repairer, and also the inventor
of several bicycle devices, lies at St
Barnabas hospital in a very critical
condition. His back, from head to foot,
is charred almost to a crisp, and his
recovery is doubtful The accident
happened about o'clock at 719 Tenth
street south. Rehl was at work braz-
ing a bicycle frame. In the shop with
him were his thirteen-year- brother,
Henry, and an employee, Lyman Mey-
ers. In brazing the parts of the frame,
Rehl was using a flame which was fed
by gas generated from gasoline in q
tank containing several gallons Just
exactly how the accident happened is
not known, but it is supposed that the
weight of a brick, which was on top
of the tank was too much and the
pressure caused the pipes leading from
the tank to explode. In a moments
time the burning fluid was scattered
about the room, and Rehl's back was
a mass of flames There was nothing
could be eXtinguished Had the vic
tim left the burning building immedi-
ately for help his condition would now
be much less serious. But, with re-
markable grit, he attempted to shut off
the gasoline escaping from the tank,
and also tried to eXtinguish the flames
By this time he vas forced to flee and
run into the street calling for help.
City Salesman Brewer, of the An
thony Kelly company, had his horse
tied near the shop, and, taking several
blankets from the rig, he wrapped the
burning man up. Mrs. R. S. Merrill,
us Tenth street south, also saw the
accident and rendered valuable aid ia
helping to beat out the flames with a
quilt Bert Trask, 2206 Nineteenth
avenue south, salesman for c. A Cas-
tie, and others rendered what help was
In their power. When the flames were
extinguished, Rehl's clothes were al
most entirely burned Off He was car
ried into DR.. Ferro's office, in the same
building as his home, S061a Tenth street
south, and received temporary atten-
ton from Drs. Ringnell and Ferro
Last evening he was removed to ST.
Barnagas' hospital.
The fire in the shop was soon extin-
guished by the fire department. The
loss by fire is slight When the ex
plosion occurred, Henry Rehl and Mey-
ers lost no time in making their exit
and to this can be attributed their good
fortune in not being burned Mr..
Brewer was somewhat burned about
the hands in helping to eXtinguish the
flames

strikers Averse to Walking When
1t Con re Avoided


WELLSTON, O., Aug. 23.-seven
hundred miners, headed by three brass
bands, tagged a mixed freight and pas
senger train on the c., II. & D. railroad
this morning at a crossing in the south
ern part of this city The train came
to STOP and was boarded by the men.
then the train men refused to proceed,
and ran their train back to the depot
where they were ordered by officials of
the road to proceed. The miners were
en- route to Oak Hill, where there was a
mine in full operation. Arriving at
Oak Hill, the strikers marched to the
mine and demanded that the men come
out. This the men did, but not before
being assured that no harm was in
tended if they conducted themselves
right. The men then held a meeting
and informed the strikers that they
would not work until the strike was
settled. They were then compelled to
march with the strikers through the
principal streets of Oak Hill.
Returning to Wellington, the strikers
captured a B. & O. Southwestern
freight train. Its conductor at first re-
fused to move his train, but went into
Wellston when informed that the
miners were going to stay on board
until he did move. This is the second
time that the strikers have taken men
out of Oak Hill, and they said that
If they were compelled to make
third trip they would make it unpleas-
ant for them. Trouble is feared if any
further attempt to mine coal is made.

DESPERATE FIGHTING.
General Revolt of Afridis Under the
Mad MuIIah.

SIMLA, Aug. 23.-There are persistent
rumors here tonight that Fort Musjid
and Fort Maude, which were attacked
this morning by the Afridis, have fall
len into the hands of the enemy, but
there is no official confirmation of
these reports. The government has re-
celVed written communication from
the ameer of Afghanistan in which he
denies all responsibility for the null
labs or fanatical priests of the different
tribes. This is a most important pro-
nunciamento and If published broad
cast on the frontier may have great
effect upon the tribemen. The Afridis
number about 10000 frst-class hill
fighters. An anxious feature of the sit
uation is that Anglo-Indian army is
largely recruited from the Afridis.
SIMLA, Aug. pa large force Of
Afridis has been reported to be all
vancing down the Khyber pass, and
the so-called Mad Mullah, or fanatical
priest who is exciting the natives of
that territory against the British, is
said to have collected the Moham-
medans for an attack upon Michni and
Shabkadi. The royal Irish regiment
and a regiment of native infantry
with q battery of mountain artillery
have been ordered to Kohat. Fighting
is reported to be proceeding at Al Mus
jed, between the Afridis and the British
garrison at that place.

The Charter Commission on the Sal
airy of Aldermen,


The Minneapolis charter commission. in its
preliminary discussion last night, tentatively
agreed that while the work on the streets
should be done under the direction of CEN
trail head, abolishing the office of street COM
missioner, the ward fund, practically as now
understood, is to be retained. The salary
OF the mayor is to be $1,000 a year, and the
general impression is that, while the salary
of every official should be commensurate with
the duties and responsibilities which he is
subject to, the salary of an alderman, under
the new charter. should be about 5000 year.
The latter question was discussed somewhat
at length, but no vote was taken, as the
commissioners want to get their ears close
to the ground to learn how the people feel
upon this point.
For the first time since the commission
was organized, there was less than a quorum
on hand ready to begin business promptly
Several members are out of the city and
when they were called to order nine com
missioners were present: Messrs. Steele

Childs, Hernlund and Cohen. Secretary Haw-
ley; being out of the city left the minutes
