Floersheim have signed. and If the re.
port is true that Osborne, Saeger u Co.
and Boyle Bros. have signed, all the
mines on the Wheeling division of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad are in.
cluded in the uniformity agreement.
There seems to be no doubt now that
the agreement will 90 through, and an
effort will be made to have it become
operative at an earlier date than Jan. /.

camps, however.
Samuel DeArmit is under arrest b,

impossible as long as he is in the sher
