miners Of Illinois and Indiana it was de-
cided to submit two propositions to the men
OF the two States for plans under which
they can act unitedly in securing better
wages. The Illinois miners were repre-
scented by President Carson, Secretary
Ryan and Vice President Hunter. and In
diana by President knight and Secretary

county. The plans are to be submitted to
organized and unorganiZed miners alike.
One is for a joint board which is TO con-
slider wage scales and submit them TO the
men. If Indiana should desire to accept
a certain price il could do only with the
consent of the men of Illinois and vice
versa. Under this plan the two state or
CARNATIONS are to be maintained. The
other plan is for consolidating the two or
CARNATIONS. The miners are to vote on
these propositions and make return by
March rs and the decision is to be by the
popular vote of the two States. After the
annual convention of the Indiana organiza-
ton April 20. there is TO he joint conven-
ton of the two States TO put into effect

business TO those engaged in the work.
William Wiles. a pioneer of Shoals, was
buried to-day and the only means of reach
ing the cemetery was by water and il was
an unusual and sad funeral cortege, con-
sisting of few small boats slowly and SOL
EMMY plying their way through the streets
of the town to the graveyard on the hill
side beyond. The water is now said
to be rapidly receding. and il is

the Baltimore x Ohio Southwestern is
being pushed rapidly. washout bridge
has just been completed at lronton. a few
