Coal Miners In Five States Strike for
Wages Enough to Keep from starv-
ing-TorrId Heat Causes Much Dis
tress and Many Deaths.
The Strikers Gaining.

The Pittsburg district was generally
conceded to be principal battle-ground
for the coal miners strike. The oper-
ators had hopes of keeping several
thousand men at work there, but they
have been deeply disappointed. Only
one company the New York aud Cleve-
land Gas Coal Co. was able to continue
operations with about l,50O men and
the strike officers are preparing plan
to bring them out.
The situation in Cleveland over the
coal strike is becoming desperate.
The railroads are growing bolder in
con fiscating coal, and those who de-
pend upon q regular supply are be-
coming anxious. The schooner b. w.
Parker, of Detroit, has been delayed
in Cleveland over week owing to the
action of the Erie railway in taking
away over 30 cars of coal which the
vessel was about TO load. Several fuel
ing firms have nearly exhausted their
supply and the Pennsylvania & Ohio
Fueling Co. has suspended business al
together in Cleveland. There is con-
siderable fuel in the upper lakes, and
some of it may have to be brought
down. 1t is generally admitted now
that the coal dealers and mine operators
were very poorly prepared for a strike.
The great plant of the Cleveland Steel
Co. has closed owing to the lack of
fuel. A number of other plants are
preparing to shut down.
The strikers won a great victory in
the Wheeling &c Lake Erie district.
Col. Myron T.. Herricll, the receiver for
the w. & l.. L. railway, has been in
formed that only one man went to
work at Dllonvale, where the railroad
people had decided TO make test. and
where they had secured force of US.
marshals to protect the miners who
would go to work. The full force of
this intelligence can be appreciated
when it is stated that Cleveland manu-
facturers and shippers expected that if
matters came to the very worst the
district covered by the w. 81 L. E.
would supply whatever coal was
needed. This means to Cleveland now
a practical tie-up.

Turkey Ready to Right Again.

The porte has given the Graceo- Turk
ish war situation new and interest
ing phase by deciding not to consider
any frontier line in ThesSlly north OF
the River Peneios. which it regards as
the natural boundary. The sultan is
convinced that the powers will not re-
sort TO coercion, and has decided to
test the alleged concert of Europe to
the utmost. At an extraordinary sit
ting of the council of ministers n re-
port was drawn up in favor of resum-
ing hostililics. if peace should not be
concluded within n week. The sultan
complained that the war had been
forced upon him and that, when he was
victorious, Europe refused him either
territory or indemnity. Therefore he
intended to resist to the utmost. He
said: 1--WE have nothing TO fear. The
six powers failed to coerce Vassos and
his :, 1000 adventures in Crete. What
can they do against 100000 victorious
troops in Roumelia? i have informa-
ton from all the capitals of Europe in
dicative of the indecision of the pow
ers. Elhem Pasha was n fool not to
have surrounded the Greek army and
TO have advanced to Athens, but he
may be there yet. If no concessions
are made within few DAYS | shall
give the order to advance. We can
dictate our own terms from the Acrop-
oils. Everything is ready for immedi-
ate action.

A Murder Near IonIa.

Moses Walker, bachelor, who lived
two miles west of Ionia, opposite the
state house of correction, was shot and
instantly killed by Wesley Bennett,
farm hand on an adjoining farm.
Bennett had been keeping company
with Lydia Vivian, Walkers niece, and
they had just returned from the city.
The woman jumped out of the buggy
just as Walker came out into the road.
He ordered Bennett away, having pre-
viously objected to his presence, and
is alleged that he threw a piece of
brick at the horse. Bennett refused
TO go and drew a revolver from which
he fred three shots at Walker, all of
which took effect, the third striking
the heart. Bennett skipped home and
was changing horses, apparently for
fight, when the sheriff arrested him.

Six KILLED in a bridge Disaster.


Car No. 3 of the Interurban electric
railway. bound south from Bay City
to Saginaw with eight passengers and
three employees of the railroad on
board, ran off into an open draw span
of the Interurban bridge, about six
miles north OF Saginaw, and six lives
were lost and five persons badly in
Iured-two fatally.
The car was in charge of Motorman
Herbert Riley and Conductor John
O'irien, OF Saginaw, and was going at
a good rate of speed. The swing was
open, but the motorman evidently
thought he could stop in time. There
was something the matter with the
machinery. however, and the car
plunged into the river, 90 feet from
the abutment Mrs. Will Mcclellan,
aged IS, of Bay City; Mrs. David Camp
bell. aged %, and her three little girls,
Hattie, Lena and Eva, aged Z. 5 and
respectively. of Metamora; j. w. Haw-
kins, ST., aged n, of South Bay City,
all lost their lives. II. =. Klumpf, OF
Geneva, O., travelling man, was so
badly injured that he cannot recover,
and Joseph Mayhem, of Essexville,
will probably die. Edward Girkins, of
Bay City, assistant general freight
agent of the Michigan Central railroad,
was padly cut and bruised, and Motor
man Riley, Conductor O'Brien and
Extra Motorman Michael Mcdonald,
OF Bag.City, were also injured.
Another account of the disaster says
that the electric car was racing with
an Il. g. z. Nj. train, which road is a
competitor of the Interuban for the
traffic between Buy City and Saginaw,
and in the excitement the motorman
did not notice the signals and could
not stop the car after the swing had
started to turn.
The conductor and motorman have
refused to talk of the disaster, on the
advice OF their employers. 1t is said
the Interurban cars attain n speed of
so miles an hour between the two cities.
1t is fortunate that the affair occurred
at an hour when the passenger traffic
is the lightest, had it happened two
hours later the death list might have

The road is owned by Saginaw par

at a cost of $65, 200.

man, of Geneva, o., died of his injuries.
Conductor O'Brien and Brakeman
Reilly were arrested, but have been

The international Convention of the n.
r. y. G. Il. at San Francisco.
A Christian army of over $4,000
young people invaded San Francisco,
the metropolis of the Pacific coast,
under the banners and the purple and
gold of the Young Peoples Society of
Christian Ehdeavor and took posses
sion of the city in the name of "Christ
and the Church" There were men,
maidens and matrons from every
quarter of the globe, nearly every
nation being represented. Two of the
largest buildings in the city, Mechan-
les and Woodwards pavilions were
utilized for the convention meetings.,
but were not nearly large enough. The
formal opening was by Rev. T.. 4.
Clarke, founder and president of the
great Christian Endeavor movement.
The first two DAYS were devoted to
praise services, reading and discussing
of papers on interesting and important
topics and listening to addresses by
prominent Endeavorers.
The state rallies, which are always
a feature, of the c. L. conventions,
were OF great luJeTtSI anu plcdSuIe.
Never before has the California climate
received so effective an advertisement,
for, as though ordered for convention
week, the weather was perfect every
day. The first business transacted
was to select Nashville as the place of
meeting in 1898 and London in 1900.
1t is the ambition of President Clark
and his millions OF followers to show
the old world something of the
strength of their organization and this
will be the opportunity.
With the end of the convention the
thousands of visitors, delegates and
others took advantage of the oppor-
tunity and the cheap rates to visit The
many places of interest throughout
the state. Arrangements were made
for excursions 10 Los Angeles, Mon
terey, Mt. Hamilton. Yosemite, Santa
Clara mountains, Stanford university
and other interesting places. even talk
ing in the southern country as part of
their journey.

cinnati, directing the y. S. marshal to
protect miners in the company's en-
ploy while at work and TO prevent I'M
lawful interference with their railway
operations on the part of strikers.
The marshal and his deputies are
directed to arrest and detain any per-
sons destroying property or threaten
ing or doing violence to any persons
in the employ of the receivers, for the
purpose of preventing them from con-
tinuing in their employ.
President Ratch ford, of the Mine
Workers association. is greatly pleased
with the success of the present strike
thus far and regards the outlook as
exceedingly bright. He says it is the
first time the regulation of miners
wages has given any concern TO ma
tional legislators, and that now the
press. pulpit and the people are with
the miners. Much encouragement has
been received from labor organizations
all over the country.
OF the 81, 900 miners in the Pittsburg
district $4,000 are out and the others
are expected to follow soon. The
West Virginia miners are not organ
lied and are slow in coming out.
A. Brenholz, who manages the home
Office for the General Hooking Coal Co.,
at Columbus, says there is at least

northwest. He estimates that this
will supply all demands for at least
four months, no matter how general
the miners strike becomes.
President Ratchford, of the Mine
Workers association, has received
strong kilograms of sympathy and
promise of support at the proper time
from President Samuel Gompers, of
the American Federation of Labor, and
President Garland, of the Amalgamated
Association of Iron and Steel workers.
Mr. Ratchford intimates that a sympa-
thetic strike of nearly 1000, 900 work.
men in all lines may occur. At any
rate the boycott will be used and
strongly pushed against all consumers
of non-union coal.
The first week of the coal miners
strike closed with total of 10, 900 men
idle, divided as follows: Pennsylvania,
$4,000; Ohio, $4,000; Indiana, 5000;
Illinois, $1,000; West Virginia, 1000;
other states $4,000. The loss In wages
for the week, figuring 20 cents per day
each, would be S462, 900. These men
would have mined ga, 900 tons and fig
uring profit of 25 per cent to the
mine owner he is loser by S222, 900.
The railroads transporting coal to the
lakes have lost S6O), 900 worth of bust
ness. Add to all this the loss in wages
to railroad men, docl1men, vessel en-
ployes, coal handlers, etc, and the loss
to the country by the first week of the
strike is nearly Sl,3Oo,000.

there has never been fever before, and the
doctors say simply that the germs are fly

CONFER WILL RECOVER.
AtIantians VIII BE Permitted to Go
to Nashville To-day.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 26.-H. II. Conner, At
lantas only yellow fever patient, is better
to-day. and indications point to his recoy-
cry. There are no new cases, nor reports
of new cases. Neither are there any sus-
picious cases.
DIR. Alexander, president of the board of
health, said to-day that Atlanta has had
enough frost to kill every germ brought
here by refugees from infected points and
that there is no danger of any more cases.
He said further that the probabilities are
that Conner will get well. DR. Alexander
received Telegram this morning from the
president of Chattanocga's board of health
announcing that Chattanooga and Harnil-
ton county have quarantined against At
lanta The dispatch said that no passengers
or baggage from this city would be allowed
to stop there. In order that this should in
no way interfere with the Atlanta day eel
ebration at the centennial it was immedi-
ately arranged to carry the Atlanta crowd
through to Nashville without stopping in
Chattanooga.
Later another dispatch was received from
the president of the Chattanooga board of
health saying: Have you yellow fever or
suspicious cases in Atlanta other than ref
ugees? If so, we maintain quarantine. If
not Atlanta people will be admitted with
certificates" This removed the only obsta-
Gle in the way of the crowds which leave
here for Nashville tomorrow. None of the
three suspects now at the detention camp
are ill., and no cases of yellow fever are
feared there

ESCAPE OF TWO YOUNG MEN.
Their Conduct With n COIOred Girl
Greatly Infuriate the Negroes.


Columbia, S. c., Oct. ga report just
reached here from Mount Clio, an out
of-the-way section of Sumter coun-
ty, is that citizens generally
and negroes in particular are
greatly wrought up and incensed at
the outrageous conduct of two young men
members of good families, the name of
one having been for many years familiar
in state politics. They were driving in
buggy on a public road, when they met
negro girl and boy, each about 13 years
old. The young men had been drinking.
They stopped the children, and, getting
out, gave the boy an unmerciful beating.
Then, catching the girl, they forcibly put
her in their buggy and drove away rap
idly. The girl began to scream when she
understood the purpose of her captors,
and they, being unable to silence her,
and. seeing attention was being attract
ed, pitched her headlong from the moving
vehicle
Infuriated negroes quickly gathered and
gave chase on horseback and foot. Being
closely pursued, the whites, to avoid cap
turc and probable lynching, abandoned
their buggy and took to the swamp. They
made their way to a friends house, and
induced him to go to the negroes and offer
q large sum of money if they would say
nothing about the matter The offer was
refused. The men have not yet been ar
rested. The negroes say they will push
the case to the fullest extent, 1t is not
known here positively whether or not the
girl was outraged

Cripple Creek, where mining operations
were interfered with to an extent. The
storm came so suddenly that ranchmen did
not have an opportunity to shelter their
stock but the fall in temperature Is not
considered by experts great enough to en-
