NEARING THE END.
Great Coal Miners Strike Is Practi-
caIIy Over.


Columbus, O., Sept. 6.-The end of
the great miners strike is i'll sight.
This afternoon the national executive
board of the United Mineworkers'
Association agreed to recommend to the
miners proposition from the Pittsburg
operators for straight price of 60 cents
ton, to continue in force until the end
of the year, with the additional mutual
understanding that joint meeting of
operators and miners shall be held in
December, 1897, for the purpose of de-
termining what the rate of mining shall
be thereafter.
A delegate convention of all miners
who have suspended work has been
called to meet in Columbus September
S, at 10 A. NJ, to act upon the recon-
mendation. President Ratchford and
the other members of the board say
there is not the slightest doubt but that
the miners will approve the recon-
mendation. The proposition does not
involve arbitration, and it provides for
an immediate settlement of the strika.
AS soon as the miners ratify the
proposition work will be resumed in all
tne mines.

TWELVE MINERS KILLED.


"oou springs, COlO.
Glenwood Springs, Colo, Spet. g.
A coal dust explosion in one of the
chambers of the Sunrise Coal Com pany,
the property of the Colorado Fuel e.
Iron Company, at Sunshine, 12 miles
southeast of Glenwcod Springs, killed
l. Italians and one American tonight,
few minutes before 6 o'clock. The
men were preparing to leave the mine
ON the day shift when the disaster oc-
Cured. A shot had been fired, and in
stead of its being a direct explosion,
which in miners parlance is called a
blowout" it created flame, which
shot backward and caught the dust that
had accumulated in the cham ber intsead
OF dislodging the seam of the coal in
tended. At the time of the explosion
there was a barrel of powder in the
chamber, which ingited and aided the
disaster which would have occurred
through the coal dust exploding alone.
lhe Sunshine mine, where the disaster
occurred, is OF a peculiar coal, a COM
blnation of anthracite and bitumen.
and there is belief that the gather
ing OF coal dust in the chamber was
due to excessive explosions caused by a
desire to empty the chamber too quick
ly' In the property there are so to 90
men employed. The single chamber
where the men were killed, was the
only one damaged. Two hours after
the explosion occurred, the bodies of
the dead men were all brought to the
surface.

THE CASE DISMISSED
Kitty Calvert, Accused Of Numbering
Old Man Duplane, in Luck

Today was the time set for the trial Of
Kitty Calvert for being concerned with
Frank Phillips in the murder of old man
Duplane, at Santa Monica several weeks
ago. 1t will be remembered that Du-
plane was found lying dead outside
Kitty Calvert's house of ill-fame, with
his chest crushed in and bearing every
evidence of having been murdered.
Yesterday Deputy District Attorney
McComas intimated to the court, in de-
partment one, that Kitty Calvert had
been held to answer the charge on the
supposition and hope that further tes-
timony against her would develop. l.
had not, however, and it being useless
to go to trial with any hope of convict
ing her on the capital charge, he moved
for dismissal Of the case, and it was so
ordered.
The trial of Frank Phillips, the
woman's alleged confederate in the kill
ing, is set for November 18th, and the
district attorney intimated he would
press the charge against him. The CAL
vert woman has been out on $1,000 bail
and so has not suffered any great in
convenience by the murder charge hang
ing over her head.

HIS RIGHTS INFRINGED
A Defendant Entitled to Be Brought
to Examination Without Delav

Attorney Ladd is the king-pin of at
torneys so far as habeas corpus pro-
ceedings are concerned. Yesterday he
had another of these "hocus-pocus"
cases, as they are termed around the
court house, in Department one. The
individual in whom Mr.. Ladd was in
terested was Charles Marten.z, COM
planned against at Azusa on September
18th, and who had his examination. set
for the 22nd. On the latter date the
justice again continued the case until
the 30th. Counsel argued that this
mode of procedure was irr ular and
contrary to the statute. The statute
reads that a case cannot be continued
for more than two days at one time
or SIX days in all before a defendant
shall be examined, unless the defendant
consents. Counsel proceeded to read
from superior court decisions, when he
was interrupted by Mr.. McComas who
stated that he did not resist the appli-
cation, and more particularly for the
reason that the evidence was insufficient
to hold the defendant to answer any
way.
Judge Smith thereupon ordered the
defendant discharged from custody.

Troubles never come singly," says the
proverb, and in the case of Mrs. Anna

THE "4OO" SALOON
Where Walter McStay Was Robbed of
His Ring and Watch

lack Burns was brought to trial yes
terday in department one on the charge
of robbery He was arrested jointly with
BILLY" Tollman, both of whom are
charged with having taken a gold watch
and a valuable diamond ring from the
person of Walter McStay, who at one
time was secretary of the Los Angeles
Athletic club. The men are being tried
separately, and Burns had his innings
yesterday.
It developed during the hearing of
testimony that the robbery took place in
the restaurant at 402 Main street, which
at the time was a sort of annex to the
notorious "400'' saloon. 1t was some
time between and 3 o'clock in the morn
ing when McStay entered the place and
met the two defendants. They had
several drinks together and finally Nc
Stay dropped off to sleep in a semi
drunken stupor. 1t was then, according
to the prosecution, that Burns and Toll
man annexed the watch and ring of the
sleeper.
During the time the trio We're drinking
together two men and two girls entered
the restaurant and went inc a private
crib McStay went in and joined this
party and had several drinks with them,
and from some of the questions asked
yesterday on cross-eXamination 1t was
sought to be conveyed that one or other
of these girls purloined the valuables.
The watch and ring were recovered how
ever, and the prosecution will connecc
them more closely with Burns and Toll
man than has yet been done

THE DIVORCE MILL
A Wife Thrown on Her Own Resources
With Seven Children

Mrs. Rebecca Romo was yesterday
granted decree by Judge Shaw divorc-
ing her from Ramon Romo on the
ground of desertion. The couple were
married at Santa Barbara in 1884 and
three children have resulted from the
union. In 1892 the husband abandoned
his home, and in granting the divorce
the children were awarded to the
custody of the mother.
A particularly sad case came up yes
terday in Department four, before
Judge Van Dyke. Mrs. Lena H. Lawton'
wanted a decree divorcing her from
Wallace R. Lawton on the ground of
failure to provide and cruelty. She made
out her case, and incidentally it devel-
oped that the husband is at the present
time in the city Jail on the charge of
petit larceny, while the wife is left to
struggle along the best she can with
seven children, the eldest being IL years
old and the youngest two months old.
The decree was granted and the Gus
tody of the children given to the mother.

THE STORY OF A GOOD BOY WHO
WENT WRONG
Arguello Children Sent to Their New
Homes-Term Trial Jury Sum
moned-Kitty Calvert Free

Mrs. A. Rapsch and Mrs. Adeline
Jonson are attempting to straighten out
the difficulties that have existed be-
tween them for some time past, in Judge
Shaw's department Of the superior
court.
Neither one is there because she wants
to be, but Mrs. Rapsch claims she has
suffered damage to the extent of $40 goo,
and wants Mrs. Jonson to pay her that
number of dollars as solace to her feel
ings. But Mrs Jonson, on the other
hand, denies all such liability, and SO
the matter is in course Of judicial ad-
justment
There has been a more or less contin-
uous sparring between these belligerent
ladies for a long time, but the present
action is the direct offshoot of a police
court case in which both parties figured.
Mrs. Rapsch presided over the desti-
MES of the fruit store at the corner of
New High and Temple streets, while
Mrs Jonson has rooms overhead. Some
time ago Mrs. Rapsch had an awning
put up over her store, and it is claimed
that Mrs. Jonson, who is one of the heirs
III lne GSldlt " WillNli tiAS PASPSA - ~
longs, had it understood that if an avn
ing was put up it must never be entirely
raised for the reason that in such case it
would cover the lower hatf of her Win
dows. Dust, and odds and ends of all
kinds found their way on top of this
precious awning, and when Mrs. Rapsch
forgot her bargain and raised it up to
its utmost limit all the dirty refuse was
thrown into Mrs. Jonson's windows.
Patience ceased to be virtue in Mrs,
Jonson's opinion, and last April she had
Mrs, Rapsch arrested for disturbing the
peace by "tumultuous and offensive con-
duct" The lady was arrested and when
brought to trial it developed that the
act Of raising the awning complained Of
on the day specified was committed not
by Mrs Rapsch, but by her daughter.
That cleared the old lady and the case
AGAINST her was dismissed.
But Mrs. Rapsch claimed that she had
been injured in her person, her busi-
ness and her credit; that she was out of
pocket $25 for attorneys fees, and has
suffered in her good name. For all these
aggregated sufferings she estimated
SO, 900 as the amount of damage in cur
rent coin.
The matter was threshed out in court
yesterday and submitted on briefs

TRYING FOR LIBERTY
A Good Boy Who Went Wrong and
What Came of It

A couple of weeks ago Charles Nc
Mahon, a youth of is, and said to be a
graduate from Whittier, with two COM
panions, took possession of horse and
buggy standing on Also street and
drove out to the Reform school at Whit
tier. There one of the trio became in
vOlved in row with one of the school
captains, ard as a sequel to the affair
the three holiday makers were arrested
for disturbing the peace. Then, also, it
was discovered that these were the
youths that had purloined the buggy.
Yesterday Attorney Hyatt attempted
to have Mcmahon released on habeas
corpus, and made his application before
Judge Smith.
Counsel made quite a pitiful story. Nc
Mahon was ordinarily a good boy anc
supported his parents and a sister, but
had been led away by his two COM
panions and they all got drunk to-
gether. They hired a rig and went drlv-
ing around, and finally got out on Also
street and went into a saloon to get
another drink. Upon coming out they
jumped into the buggy that they thought
was theirs-but it wasn't-and drove
away. One of the defendants, other than
Mcmahon had been an inmate of Whit
tier, and had spite against one of the
teachers, and went out there with the
avowed intention Of doing him up" The
present defendant, however, was, ac-
cording to counsel a good boy, and, no;
only took no part In the trouble, but was
asleep in the vehicle when the arrest of
all three was made.
1T was hostile expedition that went
out there, then?" inquired the court.
