Organizers Reported to Have Had Lit
tie Success in Calling Ont Men

WHEELING, w. Va, Aug. THE week
just closing finds the miners cause at a
low ebb in the Wheeling district. Since the
refusal of the Boggs Run mine to join the
strike the efforts of the United Mine Work
ers' organizers to keep the men out at
Elm Grove, Glendale and MoundsvilIe have
met with poor success. The strike leaders
have come to the conclusion that they can
accomplish little or nothing unless there is
a. suspension at the Boggs Run mine, and
1T is learned tonight that next week will
witness another and supreme effort to bring
out these men. The plan of procedure to
force out Boggs Run is not known, but is
said to be in the way of a miners demon
stration against the works. There has been
a large decrease in the amount of West
Virginia coal going west via Wheeling on
the Baltimore & Ohio, the Cleveland
Lorain & Wheeling and the Wheeling &
Lake Erie roads. Practically none is being
sent to the lakes on the last two roads,
and the Baltimore & Ohio is handling not
more than one hundred cars day a de-
crease of 80 cars compared with the week

lima Dispensary Law Settled.

CHARLESTON, S. C., Aug. 7-Judge
Simonton, of the United States Court, filed
his decision to-day defining an original

ers to import liquor in single packages
The decision was rendered on suits brought
NJ Peifer & Co., of Cincinnati, and the
Portner Brewing Company. 1t is favorable
to Guckenheimer and adverse to the other
nartieS.

FIRE INQUEST
He'd by Board Of AIdermen-on Friday
Nights Child Street Fire.
Decided that Il Was Of Incesdsay Origin, The
Incendiary Unknown.

A fire inquest on the fire that oc.
CURED on Child street, last Frida,
night, was held at the grand Jury room
in the Court house, Tuesday evening
AS was stated in yesterdays Journa
the origin of the fire is supposed te
have been Of incendiary origin as three
separate fires were in progress wher
the people reached the scene, and TO,
this reason the result of the inoues,
was awaited with great interest by
many.
Mayor Choate presided and there
were five Of the aldermen and CITY
Clerk Burleigh present
Fred Damren, the occupant of the
house, and several of his neighbors
were present and testified. First AS
sistant Engineer Pedder and several
other firemen testified.
Damren testified that he had been
away from home a week, returning
home, Friday evening at about $50
and that he stopped just long enough
to change his stockings, going into the
south bed chamber. He returned home
again at about 1890, built a small fire
in the stove and sat down to read and
smoke. Later he smelled smoke, ran
up stairs and found fire in both the
northeast and northwest chambers.
He at once closed the doors and rushe 4
for help.
According to the testimony of the
other witnesses they upon reaching the
scene Of the fire found fire in both the
northeast and northwest bedchambers
in the bedclothing, a fire in the wood
shed against the pantry. and fire in a
basket of clothes in the upper hall.
Other suspicious looking points are
that a strange ladder has been found
by the building on the side and on the
same side was an open chamber win
dow which is in one of the rooms where
the fire was found. 1t would also have
been an easy matter for an incendiary
to have entered the she'd

and is valued at $500. 1t is insured but
the amount is not known. Damren's

the fire is unknown but that it was
without doubt of incendiary origin.

our use of the old expression
but everyone says the same thing about

zero weather.
From the "2d Reg't., Ct.N. G." march
