DETERMINED STRIKERS
NO LAWLESSNESS BUT 500 DEPU-
TIES ARE SWORN IN.
The Price of Coal Jumped Over One
Hundred Per Cent During the
Past Week.

Pittsburg, July 1.-THE week closes
with the forces engaged in the miners
strike as determined as ever and alert
to secure the slightest advantage. No
openly aggressive work was done Satur
day by either side, but the miners of
ticials had secret meeting at which it
is believed vigorous campaign against
the New York and Cleveland gas coal
miners, to be inaugurated Sunday, was
decided upon. The operators, apparently,
are doing little and are saying less. How
ever, their confidence in defeating the
miners has not abated in the least. The
expected trouble in the Wheeling division
of the Baltimore and Ohio did not come
to the surface today. The miners were
paid off, as announced, but no trouble
whatever followed.
The effect of the strike is being mani
tested in the price of coal. An increase
of so cents a ton was shown today when
application was made for contracts, and
a number of Pittsburg operators not be-
ing able to work their mines, are seeking
to buy coal in the West Virginia fields i'll
order to reap the advantage of the ad-
vance. There has been no intimation of
lawlessness yet in the region, but the
sheriff of Allegheny county has anticipat-
ed any trouble by swearing in 500 depu-
ties, who are in readiness for the field at
a moments notice. At this time such
precautions look like overzealousness.
President Ratchford left the city Sat
urday night but will return in time to
accompany the men in their demonstra-
ton against the New York & Cleveland
Company's miners.
The miners of the Wheeling division
were paid off today for the two weeks
ending July |, and contrary to eXpecta-
lions, there was no disorder at any of the
company's offices. Nearly $4,000 was
paid at the various mines on the MOnon-
gahela river and vicinity The men paid
their visits to the cashiers in a quiet and
undemonstrative manner. FinleyvilIe,
which is practically the center of the
mines in this division, was as quiet as
country village on Sunday.
At majority of the mines it is said
the men will be required to pay their
months rent in advance, and where this
is impossible they will be required to va
cate the company's houses There was
furry in the coal market today. Before
the strike coal was quoted at 70 cents per
ton This afternoon it was difficult to
buy at $3.50 a ton. few of the opera
tors who were on the inside made consid-
cradle money.

trated persons who have died in their
own homes are not attainabe During
the hot spell 1871 cases of prostrations
classified as serious have been treated at
the city hospitals. There is no record of
those treated at their homes. During the

''The machinery is noiseless and safe
The gasoline tank is placed outside OF
the engine room, underground and be-
low the level of the engine bed, and the
gasoline is drawn up as needed by a
small pump placed on one side OF the
engine This arrangement prevents all
possibility of explosion In fact | con-
slider it safer and more economical than
steam, and when the hosting is done it
can be shut down and there is absolutely
no consumption of fuel and no possible
danger of explosion F"
The illustration given herewith shows
a type of engine very much in use in
mines throughout California, Oregon,
Idaho, Arizona, Mexico, Utah, Montana,
Nevada, etc. 1t is built by the Hercules
Gas Engine Works of San Francisco, in
all sizes from two to POO horse power.
The engines are built extra heavy, the
hosting drum being upon the same base
as the engine, and geared direct. The
levers operating the hoist are positive in
action and are within easy control OF the
operator About three thousand OF
these engines are in use in different
parts OF the country, and III every m
stance have demonstrated their superb
GRITTY over any other power for the pur-
pose used
They are also made to burn distillate
oil, which reduces the fuel cost very
materially, and where water and fuel
are scarce the saving in these items
quite often enables the property to be
worked wehre otherwise the expense
attendant upon operating a steam en-
CINE would preclude it.

A GASOLINE HOSTING ENGINE.
1t Does the Work of the Steam En-
gine Better and With Less Cost.

The use of gas and gasoline engines in
mines and for all power purposes is
very much on the increase. New uses
for them are being found every day.
They are being used quite extensively
for pumping, for hosting and other
work in mining. Mr.. W. F. Patrick has
an article in a recent number of the New
York ENGINEERING AND MINING JOURNAL
giving experience with gasoline hoist
ing engine at the Southern Eureka
mines in Utah. Mr.. Patrick says:
1--WE have had the engine in use for
some time, and have found it highly
satisfactory and in the highest degree
economical. We are engaged in sinking,
and of course only hosting intermit-
tentlv. Our engine is rated at % horse
power and hOists a load of |, 100 pounds
from depth of 275 feet in 40 seconds.
Our consumption of gasoline has aver
aged only or gal. per hour. The amount
of water consumed in cooling the cylin-
ders is very small, as large galvanized
iron cooling tanks are provided with the
engine, and only enough water is re-
quire to replentish what is lost by
evaporation. In many OF our western
mining districts water for a steam plant
would cost as much or more than the
fuel.
THE engine is provided with electric
and torch igniters, both OF which work
very satisfactorily One man can by
means of the self-starter, easily start
the engine alone; after starting it re-
quires no attention, except to see that
the oil cups are feeding properly.
'By means of the operating levers
near the shaft, one man can hoist, dump
the buckets, run out the waste, and in
such work as ours, or at small mines,
have time to do the tool sharpening and
timber framing

HEAT KILLS HUNDREDS
FOURTEEN DAYS OF ToRRID HEAT
SWEEPS THROUGH THE EAST.
Two Thousand PrOstrahOns-PrOm
Uses of Relief From Weather
Bureau Came to Nnught.

Chicago, July l2.-The fierce heat UNI
der which the greater portion of the
country has sweltered since the first of
July, moderated in many localities yes
terday and predictions from the weather
bureau at Washington indicate that low
er temperature will bring general relief.
The records of prostrations and deaths
resulting from the long heated term APP
proaches in magnitude that OF general
epidemic. Reports from ali sections OF
the country reached by the Associated
Press Saturday afternoon show prostra-
tions numbering in the neighborhood OF
20O0, with fatalities close to 500. In aG-
dition to this there were scores of deaths
resulting directly from the intolerable
heat, the death rate in many OF the large
cities showing fearful increase over pre-
vious years. The central states suffered
more severely than other sections, the
heat being most deadly in Chicago, Gin
cinnati and st. Louis. In the numOer Of
fatalities, this city leads the list with 81
deaths, Cincinnati and suburban points
reporting 50, and st. Louis AZ.
Throughout the south the heat was i'll
tense, but the death rate much lower than
in the north.
Eighty-seven people died from the eff
fects of heat in this city July |. In addi-
ton six were drowned while bathing to
escape the sizzling rays of the sun, six
have been driven insane, and a like mum
Der have committed suicide, While 34i
prostrations, more or less serious have oc-
Cured.
The health department reports great
increase in mortality in children and sui
ferers from chronic diseases. the average
number of deaths for the past three OF
four days has almost doubled.
Late this afternoon the excessive heat
was broken by a thunder shower. The
mercury in five hours fell 20 degrees, and
life is once more worth living.
The heat i'll the early part of the day
caused eight deaths and 81 prostrations,
II of them being serious.
The dead are: James ID. Varoll
Thomas Kirk Thomas Walsh. Felix Choy-
inski, John Fem, Michael Mclaughlin
Mrs. Mary Krawser and James Janga.

WEST VIRGINIA, STORM CENTER
Labor Leaders Will Concentrate
Their Efforts.

Labor Leaders Will Concentrate
Their Efforts.
Pittsburg, July 1.-THE decision Of
the labor leaders at Friday nights CON
ference in this city to send organizers into
West Virginia and furnish funds to
bring out the miners of that state, prac-
tically namows down the strike to a con-
test between the coal operators of West
Virginia and the labor unions of the
country. The cry of the strikers VIII
be that with West Virginia in line the
strike will be ultimately successful. No
money or effort will be spared, it is said,
to accomplish the suspension of every
mine in that state. As a last resort the
railroad employees will be brought into
the fight if possible.
Grand Master Arthur, chief of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
was asked to issue an order to engineers
not to haul coal until the miners dit
ferences are adjusted.
Latest accessions to the ranks of the
strikers are the miners employed at
Shocks mines on the RedstOne branch CT
the Pennsylvania road. The Pan Handle
mine of the Pennsylvania company is said
to have been shut down completely today
by order of Manager Young. According
to mining officials, less than 500 men of
the 1900 employed by Dearmitz in the
New York & Cleveland Company entered
the pits in this district today.
