CITY HALL TOPICS

When the regular session of the board

Is probable that there will be in attend
ance delegation Of the undertakers Of
the city, who will endeavor to convince
the board of the necessity of public
morgue. Incidentally there may be
something mentioned by them in regard
to the offer made by one of the under
taking firms to furnish to the city a
free morgue, and if that matter comes
up, which Is more than likely, the pros
poets are most f1atterirg for lively
fight to prevent the acceptance of the
offer. 1t is certain that a morgue con-
structed and operated at the expense Of
the city is out of the questions just at
present owing to the condition of mu-
nicipal finances, and among some of the
members of the council there is arr in
clination to accept the free one offered
until such time as the city will be
able to build some such place
The matter of fixing the assessment
district for the new boulevard may be
discussed at the meeting, but no final
action will be taken as the city engineer
has not completed his map showing jusi
what property is to be iriclud,ad in the
district 1t is therefore impossible to
determine what the damages will be- or
even to form an approximate te estimate
Of them. There is prospect of vigorous
objection beirg made to the plan of the
board to extend this assessment district
so as to embrace several streets west of
Spring street. The basis for this OBJ
lection is that there are other public i'm
provements which will require ar, as
sessment district in which these streets
must necessarily be included. Petitions
for these additional improvements will
be filed within the next two weeks.

gers Officially Over After
Weeks of Idleness.
End of the Ten-Day Limit
Shows That 10000 Men
Have Resumed.
The Gain Of Twenty Per Cent
In Wages Practically All
They Asked.

P1TTsBURa, Sept. %. The bituminous
coal miners strike is off and already at
an end. The 10 days which the miners
should remain idle has ended and the
10000 men who have been idle for II
weeks have resumed work at an ad.
vance of 20 per cent in their wages.
Desultory fights will be continued, but
the most interesting one will be the
fight on the New York and Cleveland
Gas Coal company, as it is the ambition
of the miners to make that company
pay 65 cents a ton for mining. The
task is admitted to be hard one, since
the interest centered OH this one battle.
The wage scale committees having in
charge the work Of adjudicating the
differences on the various prices Of min
ing has completed its work. The min
ers got practically all they asked for and
more than the conservative members
expected. All the miners in the Pitts
burg district, where the price has been
accorded, lave gone to work. The op-
orators are getting all the cars they
need and the mines are making phe-
nomenal runs.
