miners, strtl1e settled.

COLUMBUS, O., Sept II. - The great
miners strike which was begun on July
was brought to an end this evening, so far,
at least, as western Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana and West Virginia are concerned,
by the action OF the interstate convention
Of miners, which has been in session here
since Wednesday. After a day of voting
and wranglng the convention adopted reso-
lutions accepting the proposition of the
and 81 against accepting the terms OF set
Element. Indiana and West Virginia voted
soldly to accept the operators proposition,
but there were scattering votes among the
Ohio and Pittsburg delegates against it.
The resolutions adopted follow
Resolved, That we, the miners of Penn
sylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois, in convention assembled, do hereby
agree to accept. the proposition recommend
ed by our national executive committee,
namely 65 cents in the Pittsburg district,
all places in aboVe-named States where a
relative price can be obtained to resume
work and contribute literally to the miners
who do not receive the advance, where the
fight must be continued to a bitter finish.
Resolved, That the national officers, ex-
ecutive board and district presidents act
as an advisory board for the purpose of
providing ways and means for the carrying
on of the strike where necessary; provided,
however, that no district resume work for
ten days, for the purpose OF giving miners
in other districts time 10 confer with their
operators and get the price if possible"
While ten day is provided for the miners
to resume work, it is probable that many
of the Ohio and Pittsburg mines will be
reopened Monday. The convention adopted
resolutions indorsing the action of the ma
tional executive board in recommending a
settlement on the terms proposed. The Illi-
noiS miners viii be called in convention
at Springfield Sept 10 to determine What
shall be done in that State. Some of the
Illinois delegates are very bitter in their
denunciation of the action of the cOnVen-
ton, since, they claim. their interests have
not been given due consideration.
Early III the day resolutions similar to
the above were rejected by vote OF 4l5
to 401. The debate continued all day, how
ever with the result that the strike was
settled by the action of the convention this
evening A resolution was adopted de-
nouncing the action Of the deputies in firing
into the crowd of striking miners at Ha-
zleton. Pa.

brother and sister who had not seen each
other for thirty-two years were reunited

asked the proprietor if he knew Mrs.

would, as she his sister, but that he
was sure he would recognize her voice. Mr..
Hopkins then called the woman customer
and began talking to her. AS soon as the
stranger heard her voice he started for
ward and called her by name. Mrs. Nor

Future of the d. q o. S. w.


A few weeks ago when it was announced
that a movement was on foot to Gust John
Chesborough, general passenger agent OF
the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern, and in
stall in his place a former b. & o. s. w. Off
cial it led to a strong denial by the Cincin-
natl papers, although in an interview a few
days before Mr.. Chesborough admitted that
he expected a change, but said he should
not tender his resignation until asked to
do so, and strictly adhered to this decision.
Not until Friday afternoon was his resig-
nation called for by his superior officer.
Mr.. Chesborough left the position of as
sistant general passenger agent of the

County SUPERINTENDENT Case.

SHOALS, Ind, Sept. 11.--Judge d. J. Hef-
from, in the Martin Circuit Court. to-day
decided the question involving the legality
of the election of county superintendent
in this county in June. The trustees met
and organized by electing one of their num-
Der chairman, and proceeded to ballot for
superintendent After 1913 ballots and no
election, motion was made to change the
mode of election from one "by ballot" to
one "by motion to appoint" A vote was
taken on this and resulted in a tie, when
the auditor cast the deciding vote in favor
of the motion. There was then motion
made to appoint Eliza Mcfarland superin-
tendent for the ensuing two years. A mo-
ton was made to amend by inserting the
name of John T. Morris instead. When a
vote was taken on the amendment it stood
five for and five against, whereupon the
auditor decided against the amendment
Then vote was taken on the previous
question, resulting in a tie and was de-
cided by the auditor in favor of the motion.
Morris was the incumbent and he refused
to give up the, office on the ground that
there was no legal election, holding that
the auoltor had no right to vote except
when two candidates were being voted for
and there being a tie, Judge Heffron holds
that the auditor did exactly right.

MiIeage Ticket Hureau.

f. G. Donald, commissioner of the Central
Passenger Association, has issued in cir
cular form the preamble and resolutions
adopted last week at the meeting Of the
members of the mileage ticket bureau held
in Chicago. After giving the names of the
thirty-two roads which constitute the
bureaus membership he publishes the fol-
lowing preamble and resolutions:
Whereas, The carriers, parties to the in
Interchangeable one-thouSand-miie ticket,
have in good faith and by due and careful
consideration sought to make the ticket
available with the least Inconvenience to
the travelling public consistent with proper
ana reasonable protection OF mutual inter-
ests; and,
Whereas, The conditions and limitations
under which this ticket is sold and accepted
for passage have in some instances been
criticised by and through the press al
though generally commended by CONNER
claI houses, manufacturers, commercial
travellers and other regular users of mileage
tickets as convenient, desirable and eco
nomical form Of transportation; and,
Whereas, The representatives of the rail-
way companies parties to the interchange
able ticket are of the respectful belief that
the objections urged are largely theoretical
and that use of the ticket will speedily DEM
onstrate its value and desirability; and,
Whereas, The representatives of the
companies members of the mileage ticket
bureau of the Central Passenger Associa-
ton have given due and full consideration
to the comments of the press and the sug-
gestionS and communications addressed to
their several companies, therefore be it
Resolved, That we respectfully affirm
our confidence in the conveniences, econ
omies and advantages of the association
form of interchangeable mileage ticket as
better fitted TO meet the requirements and
convenience of ali classes of travel without
discrimination than is afforded by other
forms of mileage tickets as well as in the
reasonableness and practicability of the re-
strictions and limitations adopted for its
government, and respectfully urge our be-
lief that the regulations prescribed will
cause no appreciable hindrance or incon-
venience in the legitimate use of the ticket.
Be it further
Resolved, That should general use of the
| ticket develop the desirability or necessity
of notifications in it's governing conditions
it will be the pleasure OF this association to
take prompt and due cognizance of such
questions

A Rumored Railroad Deal.

United States Investor.
The Investor is informed that a gigantic
scheme is on foot, and Well under way,
which contemplates the consolidation of the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad with the Cleve-
land, Cincinnati. Chicago & st. Louis Rail-
road, Familiarity known as the Big Four,
and the establishment of great through
trunk line from St Louis and Chicago to
New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore. AS
yet the undertaking is not known outside
the offices of those most directly interested
in the enterprise and is being kept as quiet
as possible. But the recent remarkable up
shares of the Big -Four and the sharp adj
vance in the market price of the stock of
the Baltimore & Ohio has led the Investor
to suspect that some mysterious movement
was on foot and to probe for the true facts.
1t was only few weeks ago that the COM
mon stock of the Big -Four was selling
around 20. 1t has since advanced to 40B,
and at present writing is quoted around
3912. The preferred, too, was on June 16 SELL
ing at g. To-day it is quoted at Sc bid, 80
asked. Baltimore q Ohio common sold on
July II at 8; to-day'S quotation is l734, with
a heavy short interest. 1t will thus be seen
earnings and improved business conditions
has occurred and is occurring to influence
the market price of these shares, and it is
believed to be none other than a stupendous
scheme of a consolidation of interests.
What gives additional credence to the re-
port of such q coalition is the unmiStakable
indications that representatives of j. p.
Morgan & Co. are large buyers of both b.
& 0. and Big Four.
