ALL QUIET.

Everything is quiet at the mine of
Cook & Sons, this evening. The mine
was running today but very little coal
was brought out. The strikers made but
little effort to induce the men to remain

trespass ON the company's property,
and the miners who are working keep
so close to the mine that the strikers
cannot reach them. About 200 strikers
from Miller's Run arrived at the camp
at a late hour this afternoon by way Of
Plum Run, and Houstonville. About
40 miners arrived at Plum Run this
evening. They brought a large quantity
of provisions to the camp. wagon

vile passed through here today en- route
TO the camp. About 100 strikers re-
turned home this evening. A number Of
small boys, whose fathers are encamped
at McGovern, made a canvass of the
town to secure supplies today. They
secured quite large quantity of food.

A FEW FACTS.
Eight Thousand and Their Families
Will Soon Need Assistance.

indianapolis, July 6.-Commissioners
Connor and Terhune, appointed by
Governor Mount to visit the Indiana
coal fields and report on the condition
of the miners, submitted their conclu-
sions today. They find that about 5000
miners and families will need assist
ance If the present conditions continue.
Operators are quoted to the effect that
they are responsible for low wages and
the condition of miners for they have
forced down prices under competition
which has driven them to it. The re-
port calls attention to the fact that no
1awiessness exists, and that there are
no signs of an unruly spirit
The governor has decided to issue an
appeal suggesting some kind of a rea-
sonable relief for the striking miners
and their families

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review

New York, Sept 17.-Todays market
was strong and the average level of prices
was considerably raised as a result of the
days trading. 1t was a noticeable fact,
however, that the greatest activity was
confined to spots. The gains also were
spasmodic in character and it could not
be said that there was any simultaneous
advance through the whole list. The
Changers, the Trunk lines, the Wander
bilts and the SouthwesternS, all of which
have recently been checked on realizing
sales invited by previous sharp gains
showed recoveries today. The most con-
spicuous feature of the market however,
was the lively demand for the coaiers.
New Jersey Central was carried up an ex-
treme 3A to 1918 crossing par for the
first time since February of this year.
The Readeing stocks all advanced
point or over during the day, but fe!l back
just at the close. Lackawanna rose "a
and Delaware and Hudson lA. Atchison,
preferred, and Wabash, preferred, gained
point or over ret. The solution of the
troubles of the soft coal industry was re-
fiected in sharp advances in Toledo and
Ohio Central and Hooking Valley, pre-
ferred. Union Pacific was another con-
spicuous figure Closing with a net gain
of nearly points. Manhattan, which
sold today eX-diVidend of l per cent. re-
covered the dividend and another point
besides. The Changers were less active
than of late, but manifested strength,
Chicago Great Western leading. The
other leading industrials including Sugar
Tobacco, Leather, preferred, Lead and
Rubber, showed a somewhat heavy tone
and closed at smah net changes except
Tobacco, which lost over a point. West
ern Union gained over a point and the
common and preferred stock of Pitts
burg, Chicago, Cincinnati and st. Louis
over points. Total sales, G0l, ,30S shares.

A local paper. in an article cn the cleo
trical street car systems of eastern Massa-
chusetts, gives n description of what is
alleged to be the longest trolley trip in
the world, 1t being from Providence, r.
l., to Nashua. y. H., through Boston. The
start, according TO the authors route. is
from Market square, ProNidcnce thence
through Pawtucket and North Attleboro'
to Pla.nvIlle, the only break being between
Plainville and Norwood. which is at least
fourteen miles in length. An extension OF
the Norfolk Central line from Norwood 10
Walpole will be in operation within a very
short time, but even then il will only reduce
the break about three and one-nalf miles.
The Norfolk Southern street railway las
been granted locations through the towns
OF Norwood, FoXboro' Ind -1ansfield. but
IL is hard to say whoa tnis line viii be
built. When it is in erltt9n there would
still be distance o. thr1a and one half
miles between FoNboro' and Plai,lVille,
which would nave to be covered by car
riage.
