It Was Not the Wood" Compound
That Killed John Matz.

On Wednesday, the 18th inst, John
Matz died at Oak Park after having
drank a quantity of alcohol purchased
from the drug store of 0. P. Willis,
and it was reported that the liquid was
wood alcohol, which is poisonous.
Druggist Willis, however stated that
the fluid was not wood alcohol and
while his explanation was accepted as
satisfactory, Coroner Clark. in order
to leave no doubt on the subject, placed
the bottle containing the remainder Of
the liquid in the hands of Professor
w. t. Wenzell of the State Board of
Health for analysis.
The report of Professor WenZell was
received by Coroner Clark yesterday,
and is as follows:
George H. Clark-Dear Sir: 1 have

uid marked alcohol, and contained in

numerous other and smaller tools. of
almost every description. A set of
buggy harness is also awaiting an own
er, and the officers say they will recover
another truckload of property to-day.
The thieves were, it seems, doing a
land office business, and have not yet
been charged, but as two are ex-con-
victs, and as the other two have been
convicted of petit larceny, they will
probably be required to stand trial on
felony charges.

BRIEF MENTION OF EVENTS OF
INTEREST.
Strike by Arbitration-The Strikers
Increase In Numbers and are Very
Coniident-Coal Famine Threatened
Notes on the Miners, Big strike.

Nine prominent labor organizers
have gone to the West Virginia coal
fields to get the miners now working
there into the union and have them
Law down their tools. 1t is said by
those who are in a position to know
that it will not require much urging to
bring the West Virginians out. The
strikers officers will then turn all
their endeavors toward the Pennsyl-
vania mines of the New York and
Cleveland Gas Coal Co., whom Presi-
dent De Armit, of the company, brags
cannot be induced to strike. The min
ers' officers realize that the early sue
cess of the strike depends in closing
these mines and will use every means
TO bring the men out.
Gov. Mount, of Indiana, says his
sympathy is all with the striking min
ers in the present contest, and if he
sees his way clear will appoint an in
vestigating committee.
With the scarcity of coal already
prevailing at the lake ports, it is
claimed the supply will not last over
two weeks at the longest. The retail
dealers as well as the operators in gen
eral, concede that famine is imminent
and look for prices to advance enor-
mously. At Cleveland coal has already
jumped from S1.50 to SO per ton.
An attempt was made to settle the
strike by voluntary arbitration. Labor
commissioners and official arbitrators
of the states affected assembled at
Pittsburg together with number of
interested mine operators and miners
union officials The principal objec-
ton came from President DeArmit, of
New York and Cleveland Gas Coal Co. +,
who said he would not arbitrate, but
would fight the United Mine workers
to the last ditch. President Ratchford.
of the miners union, then said that
the only recourse left for the miners
was to fight also Later, however,
DeArmit offered to sign an agreement
If 95 per cent of the operators of the
Pittsburg district will abolish their
company stores, use n uniform screen,
give honest weight, and pay cash to
the men every two weeks. Some of
the operators look upon DeArmit's
proposition as a humbug and as ruse
to gain time. The miners officials de-
clare that DeArmit once before signed
such an agreement and soon found a
technicality through which TO repudi.
ate it.
