The miners of this district, with a few
exceptions, are all workig.. At the con.
ference Thursday between the operators
and miners a few operators were present
and agreed to pay the 65-cent rate. pro-
viding that the balance of the operators
of the district would agree. All, so far
as mentioned before, have stated that they
are willing to accept the terms except
the Glendale people. The operators agreed
to pay the price Immediately, providing
the Glendale company came into line.
Yesterday a committee of miners went
down to see the Glendale operators, but
were told that they could DO nothing I'M
til the board of directors of the COM
pany had a meeting Then they would
be able to give an answer whether or not
they would pay the price
The miners declare their intention, in
case they refuse, to adopt measures to
bring the Glendale company to terms.
They propose to make an effort to take
as many of their contracts away from
them as possible, and claim that they
have been assured by the Benwood cleo
trio light company and others that no coal
would be bought from Glendale if they
did not pay the price. The miners are
confident they can take other contracts
away from them and cite the instance of
how the Glendale company lost the con-
tract for furnishing the electric light plant
of this city with coal a year ago after
their bid had been accepted but before
bond had been given. This was accom-
plished through their efforts, and the city
threw La
that the Glendale company was not pay
ing the scale price. a large number of
the Glendale miners have been at work
but during the last couple of days they
have been coming out of their own ac-
cord and will remain out until the scale
for this mine is settled. There is about
half the number working that started the
first of the week.
At Gichrist. Dougherty, Boggs' Run.
Kasley's and Benwood the miners are at
work at the scale price. A local of
fetal claimed yesterday that the Elm
Grove miners had been working for a
week, but had not been granted the ad-
vance. The Elm Grove miners started to
work on their own accord without waiting
for instructions.
No date has been set for the State con-
ference to be held by operators and min

ton in Chicago will declare a boycott on
West Virginia coal, providing the opera
tors Of this State refuse to pay the price
adopted at Columbus. The miners here
about do not take much stock in the
story that West Virginia miners will be
left to fight their battles for themselves
and that they have been deserted by the

JOHN T. CARROLL LOSES HIS BARN AND

DAY.
Two fires in less than "a hours is the
unfortunate record we have to chronicle,
and the origin of the second is as much
a mystery as the origin of the first. IE
was about 1890 o'clock, Wednesday
night, when John T. Carroll's barn was
discovered to be a mass of flames in the
upper story, by the people living across
the way. The alarm was given, and
while it was seen at once that the barn
must go, by dint Of hard work, with
plenty of water and wet blankets the
store, which by the way is the old Ma
sonic building and some 80 feet east of
the barn, was saved unframed. The fire
had gained such Roadway that only the
horse was saved Of all that was in the
barn, the loss including four ton of hay,
three wagons, two sleighs, four set of
harness, beside a considerable quantity
of small hardware and store supplies
stored in the building. Mr. Carroll was
though not sufficiently to fully
cover the loss. Despite the unreasonable
hour for the fire quite number of men
gathered to help Mr. Carroll protect the
store building. The barn was locked
at the time of the discovery of the fire,
except the hay loft door, which was left
open. The fire started in the loft. Mr.

very kind and Mr. Leonard and his
mother had plenty of house room offered
them for themselves and guests. As
soon as all danger was over the work OF
removing the furniture began. MI
Beers furniture was placed back in the
house, though there were not so many
willing hands to put it back as there were
to tear it out. Mr. Leonard's goods were
taken to his barn in rear of the Annex
and barn room kindly loaned him by M.
G. Hawley and by 8 o'clock the most
valuable was all under cover. Mr. Leon
ard estimates his loss at $50, 900 at least
account and probably much more, on
which there is an insurance of about
$4,000, distributed among the compan-
les represented by his agency. He was
80 harrassed and broken up by the COM
motion in which he found himself on
Thursday that the exact figures we're
not attainable.
Mr. Beers loss wili amount to at least
$500. He was covered by insurance and
1t is to be hoped that even though the
damage was not actually fire loss, being
the result of fire he will not be debarred

worst fires that has ever visited the town
