Ten Are Dead at Lowry, Mimi, and
the Town Is Demolished.
Dispatches received at Duluth say that
a cyclone obliterated the town Of Lowry,
Mimi, and that possibly ten people were
killed and several injured. Lowry is sit
uated ON the 500 Line, seven miles from
Glenwood, on the Northern Pacific Rail-
road. The cyclone travelled from south
west to northwest.
The cyclone struck Lowry shortly after
6 o'clock in the evening. Evidences Of
the cyclonic cloud were seen in Duluth
about Z o'clock. The sky was overcast
with clouds that circled as they moved
rapidly northeast, and there was a vel
low cast that was ascribed to the sun pen
etrating through them. People looked in
wonder on the scene, but nobody ascribed
the conditions to a cyclone. The clouds
moved high in the air and circled with
perfectly steady motion. Every building
in the village was damaged. Seven dwell

From estimates prepared on the basis
of coal mined in the year 1898, making
allowance for the present conditions, it
isbelieved that the expense of maintaining
the strike in the State Of Ohio alone will
aggregate nearly 100000 day. OF this
amount the miner loses nearly SIT 900,
the coal operators $4,000 and the rail
road companies $4,000. TIC this must
also be added the decreased earnings Of
the railroad employees, dock and lake yes
sci employees and the profits Of retail and
wholesale dealers. The total output in
Ohio for the year 1895 was 100000
tons in round numbers, an average of o66
tons miner, which is equal to 1.6 tons
day. 1t is estimated that 2, 800 900 tons
of the total output is nut coal, for which
the miner receives no pay and is clear
profit for the operator.
National President Ratchford said
Tuesday that he had received reports
showing that the greater part of Penn
sylyania, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio was
idle, and within a day or two a complete
suspension is expected. The Ohio miners
are practically unit for higher wages,
as $4,000 of the &c, 900 miners in the
State are already holding out for the
scale.
President Patrick Dolsn, Of the Pitts
burg district, estimated the total number
Of men out to be nearly $4,000. Presi-
dent Dolan further said the reports from
all over the district indicate the strike will
be more general than at first supposed
Along the Monongahela River work has
practically been suspended and deter
mined battle is in progress. All the mines,
with the exception of comparatively
small number, are idle, and it is thought
nearly every miner will come out. The
circumstances indicate a strike of some
length, and in consequence the distress
will be great.
At Glouster, Ohio. the miners INDUCED
In threats of holding up coal trains. But
their local officials kept them quiet by
telling them this was coal mined before
the strike was declared. However, sever

to prevent it. As the West Virginia dis
