Another Settlement In Which the Victors
are the Losers.
CHICAGO, Nov. 27.-The coal mining
strike in the Northern Illinois district
ended yesterday. Twelve thousand
men have gone back to work in the Coal
City, Braidwood, Carbon Hill, Spring
Valley, Lodi. SeatonviIle, La Sale and
Oglesby field. One thousand men re-
main out at Streator, the only point
where miners and operators have not
agreed. A settlement there is expected
within week.
Victory is with the miners, alth ough
they have not won all they asked.
Their chief demand was for a ''mine
run price"-that is, rate per ton as
the coal comes from the mine, un-
screened. This has been conceded in
some places. Where the rate remains
fixed on the price per net ton sub
stant tial advance has been won. The
increase in wages all through the dis
trict amounts, approximately, to 10
cents a ton over the schedule made last
May.
The strike has been on since July L.
1t started as a part Of the general
strike ordered by the United Mine
Workers OF America.
The Pennsylvania and Ohio miners
settled their differences early in Sep
tember. In Indiana work was re-
sumed about the same time. The 3O,-
900 miners in Illinois refused to ratify
the terms of the agreement made at
Columbus, O., and continued the
strike.

stimulants and began cheering for the
United States, crying "Hurrah for free
America" This demonstration was re-
sented by the crowds about the place.
and rioting followed. The police were
called upon to interfere and compel
the liberated men to re-embark.
During the disturbance the police
captured the insurgent colonel Alipo
Sanchez, who is described as being IN

GO-One Man Fatally Burned; Two 9th

gine Blown to Atoms, and Three Towns
Badly Wrecked.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 27.-A special
from Anderson. Ind, to the Evening
Post, says,
Chesterfield, Ind, was almost wiped
off the earth at an early hour by the
explosion of so quarts of nitro
glycerine. which had been brought
overland from Montpelier and placed
in an open field, a ha1f-mile from the
town. Marion Mansey and sam Ma
guire were working at a gas well near
by, when the explosion occurred. Man
sey was thrown so feet, but not fatally
injured. Mcguire was thrown fully 100
feet in the air and badly lacerated,
but will recover. James Colds house,
800 rods distant. was torn to pieces.
The explosion tore hole in theground
down to the water line, and so far as
is learned, it was spontaneous. A three
ton engine was torn to fragments, and
every living animal was killed instant
ly. The little town of Chesterfield is a
mass of ruins. Every house was moved
from its foundation, windows shat
tered, doors smashed in, every light
put out and the plastering shaken
from the walls. Several people were
shaken out of bed.
AT Dalesville, two miles away. and
at Yorktown, five miles distant, the
damages was almost as great. Many
people were injured, and it is miracle
that none were killed outright.

another explosion in which he was
fatally burned.
