Settlement.

Columbus, O., Sept 1&--The great
mipens strike which was declared on
July 4was brought to an end Saturday
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 had been in session here since
Wednesday. After a'day of wrangling
the convention adopted aresolution ac-
cepting the proposition of the Pittsburg
operators. The vote was 495 for and
S17 against accepting the terms of set
tlement Eleven votes were not cast
The delegates from Illinois who had
$50 votes are unanimously against q
settlement Indiana and West Virginia
voted solidly to accept the operators
proposition, but there were scattering
votes among the Ohio and Pittsburg
delegates against it. The resolution
adopted is as foil Nws:
| Resolved, That we the miners OF Pennsylva-
| nio, West Virginia Ohio, Indiana and Illinois,
In convention assembled do hereby agree To
accept the proposition recommended by our
national executive committee, viz. 65 cents In
the PittsbuBg district, all places in above
named states where relative price can be OBJ
tanned to resume work and contribute literally
to the miners who do not receive the advance
| where the fight must be continued to bitter
l finish.
Resolved, That tho national officers, execu-
| tive board and district presidents act as an ad-
| visory board for the purpose Of providing ways
and means for the carrying on OF the strike
where necessary; provided, however, that nc
district resume work for ten days, for the pur-
pose Of giving miners in other districts time tc
confer with their operators and get the price q
possible.
While ten days is provided for the
miners to resume work, it is probable
many of the Ohio and Pittsburg mines
will be reopened to-day. The conven
tion adopted resolutions indorsing the
action of the national executive board
in recommending settlement on the
terms proposed. The Illinois miners
will be called in convention at Spring
field September 10 to determine what
shall be done in that state. Some O.

in A STATE OF SIEGE.

Hazelton, Pa, is Held by 5000 Militia
Sequel to the Massacre of Miners by
sheriff Martin and His Deputies.
Hazelton, Pa, Sept. 1S-The situa-
ton is graver than it has been at any
time since the bloody affair on Friday
afternoon. There is strong reason to
fear a conflict between the strikers
and the military and there is an indi-
cation that from 5000 to 1000 more
miners will join the malcontents
Feeling continues high against Sher-
iff Martin and his deputies, and the
intensity of the situation is such that
sudden turn of the head or a word
spoken above the ordinary tone brings
a running crowd. The 5000 soldiers
here under the command of Gen. Goblin
are ready for any emergency, and the
people of the town are in state which
may easily become panic
To all intents and purposes Hazelton
is under martial law. Gen. Goblin de-
clared last night that in spite of the
warrants issued, no constables nor any
civic authority will be permitted to ar
rest the deputies. He said that the
sheriff is an executive officer whose
duty is to preserve the peace, and that
he, Goblin, and the troops, are really
subordinate to the sheriff at this time,
being engaged in helping him to per-
form that duty. Under these circum-
stances he will not permit interference
with the sheriff's officials so long as
the militia is here. In spite of this
fine distinction the comma nders de-
cision on this point is accepted as su.
perceding the civil authorities by the
military power
The events of Sunday were the
death of another of the 40 men wound
ed, an 1S-year-old boy WHO was shot
through the head; the announcement
by the hospital doctors that six more
will die, and the funeral of four of the
23 victims. Ten will be buried to-day,
and here trouble is likely to occur.
DR.. H. P. Lewandoski, of New York,
representing the Polish societies oi
that city, arrived here Sunday. He is
empowered to assist the strikers in
every possible way; to help them tc
gain their demands from the operators
and to arrange for the prosecution ot
the sheriff and deputies

* Cases of Yellow Fever Deve'o In New
Orleans-Many Towns Declarea Quaran-
tine Against the Crescent City.
New Orleans, Sept 18.-Shortly be-
fore noon Sunday the board Of health
pfficially declared six of the suspicious
cases of fever on St Claude street to
be yellow fever. A couple of hours
subsequently the board announced an
other pronounced case of yellow fever
at Miro and Esplanade streets, also in
the lower part of the city, but mile
away from the infected square. No
general alarm has resulted here, al
though the news raidly spread through
the city. The authorities do not be-
lieve that the situation is materially
worse than it was four or five days ago
and they ar, still confident of their
ability to successfully quarantine the
infected districts.
Of the original IL cases, all of which
originated from'a case that came from
Ocean Springs, the six other than those
reported Sunday as yellow fever we're
announced to be practically well. OF
the six pronounced yellow fever, four
are convalescent and two are critically
i'll.
Among the suspicious cases reported
Saturday was that of boy named
Roy, living at Miro and Esplanade
streets, Three doctors were sent to
observe the case. Yesterday they pro-
nounced it to be unquestionably yell
low fever and as having its origin in
Scranton, Miss, or near that town. AS
soon as the report was received the
board of health took charge of the
house, quarantined the inmates, placed
guards SO that no one might come close
to the premises, and set to work to
disinfect the neighborhood.
President Oliphant, soon after he got
the report of the experts, wired Gov.
Foster, who is cooperating with the
board. The news was generally spread
through Louisiana and the southern
states, and it is probable that most of
the towns that have not quarantined
New Orleans will now refuse to have
any communication with this city.
The situation in this respect will not
be much aggravated, for the Crescent
City has already been bottled up for
several days,

The Worst Railway Disaster In the His
tory of Colorado Occurs Near New
Castle Passengers Roasted
to Death In the Burn
ing Wreckage,

New Castle, Col, Sept. II. - The
worst wreck in the history of Colorado
occurred at 1925 Friday morning on
the track of the Denver g. Rio Grande
and the Colorado Midland railways, one
and a half miles west of here. After 10
hours work by the wrecking crews in
clearing away the debris and rescuing
the bodies of those who perished, it is
yet impossible to secure more than an
estimate of the loss of life, and not
even those known to be dead have been
identified Many of the unfortunates
will never be known and it is possible
that the number killed will always be
in doubt. From the best information
obtainable now fully 80 persons are be-
lieved to have perished, while 1S5 were
taken out of the wreck suffering from
serious injuries.
The wreck was caused by head-end
collision between a Denver & Rio
Grande passenger train running at the
rate of 40 miles an hour, and special
Colorado Midland stock train running
at speed of probably 80 miles So
terrific was the concussion that both
engines, baggage and express cars,
smoker and day coaches and two
stock cars were totally demolished and
the track torn up for rods in both di-
rections. To add to the horror of the
scene, the wreck caught fire from an
explosion of gas tank on the passen-
ger train and burned so rapidly that
many passengers pinned beneath the
debris were burned to death before
help could reach them.
The most generally accepted theory
as to the cause of the wreck seems to
be that Conductor Burbank, of the
Midland special, anticipating the time
of the passenger, undertook to ''steal
station and beat the passenger into
New Castle. Burbank escaped unin-
| jured and has been placed under ar
rest by the sheriff. Midland Engineer
0strander is missing and thorough
search all about his engine fails to re-
veal any vestige of his remains.
General Superintendent Sample, OF
the Denver & Rio Grande, soon reached
the scene, taking charge of the work
and removing the bodies. Ten bodies
were found in the ruins of one car and
four in another. The charred remains
of two women, apparently clasped in
each others arms, were found. Their
heads and lower limbs were burned
off. In the dress bosom of each was
found ladies' gold watch, upon one of
which was inscribed From mother to
Mamie"
