THE STRIKE SITUATION.
Pres. Ratchford Satisfied With Outlook and
Says Victory Is Certain.

Columbus. Ohio, July 1s.-President
Ratchford. today, summed up the strike
situation as follows: The manner in
which the miners are conducting them
selves commends itself to the country
and gives their officers renewed en-
couragement and strengthens the belief
that victory ultimately will crown their
efforts.
The history of industrial strife has
no parallel to the present movement
The movement will continue to grow
not only from the point of number in
volved, but public opinion will become
crystalized more fully and through the
press of the country will demand a
solution of this great difficulty
The organized trades of the country
are. today, in closer touch than ever
before. Never in the history of labor
troubles have they been found so close
ly allied. Our demand for living wages
and the determination of our miners to
secure it have brought expressions of
sympathy and more material support
from almost every branch of organized
labor, whose efforts in our behalf will
endear them to all lovers of fairness
and establish for the miners, with
their own efforts, a living rate of
wages"

BoADoIn's DARK DUNGEON.
Doubtless Some Of the Older Boys Could
Tell Al About u.

Brunswick, July 1S.-The mysterious
dungeon which has just been unearth-
ed on the Bowdoin College grounds
holds the attention of the alumni gen.
orally. as well as of the residents
here, and speculation is rife as to its
origin and the uses to which it was
put.
The authorities recently decided to
remodel Appleton Hall, one of the dor
mitories on the college grounds, and
the workmen have begun operations.
1t may be said, in passing. that when
completed the building win be mod
ern one in every respect, with electric
lights. steam heat and every conven-
ince for the students
When the work was begun of tearing
out the interior Of the old building. the
workmen were surprised, and so were
the faculty, to find beneath the building
a subterranean basement, which. If its
existence was ever known, had been for
gotten and left undisturbed for many
years. In this basement, at one end of
the building. was found a dungeon cell,
or cave, fitted up in n most terrifying
manner. Its walls were lined with black.
no light could penetrate it, and in this
vault was Il grotesque array of skulls
ant skeletons, and. strangest of all. a
coffin.
The only visible entrance to this place
was an air shaft which found vent in
the roof of the building. and which was
secretly connected with closets in the
rooms of various students of the building.
Opinion is greatly divided as to the dark
deeds which have been transacted in this
gloomy cell. Some think that it was a
cha mber of horrors used by the famous
"a at lDnU
ers attribute II to the ID. X Es., whose
mystic rites of initiation thrilled SO many
timd boys in years past.
Certain ii is that to the present time
no graduate has been found who Is ready
10 unravel the mystery. and there the
black chamber stands. with the dust of
long years OVERLAPPING the sombre tints
and shadows.

TROUBLE AHEAD.
Miners in Pittsburg District
Are Very Discontinued.
Expected They Would March on Can
nonsburg During the Night.
Pres. Ratchiord Satisfied With Prospects
Claims Victory Is Certain.

Pittsburg, July 1s.-The events Of, to-
day. in the Pittsburg coal mining dis
trict indicate that there is trouble
ahead. The strike has been on for two
weews, with no cause for alarm In any
quarter. but, today, the pangs OF hun
ger and lnutterings of discomfort has
taken a tangible form, and before
morning 1000 miners will have marched
on Cannonsburg, the objective point
being the Boone and Allison mines.
A few days ago the operators of the
mines made requisition on the sheriff
of Washington county for additional
deputies. 1t is supposed that there are
ut least 80 deputies at each mine, well
armed for any friction that may take
place.
Today, the miners of the Millers and
Toms run district held mass meetings.
The gatherings We're attended by men.
women and children. The women did
not lag in the interest taken Many of
them openly branded their husbands as
towards. They argued that they might
as well fight as starve.
The men said the victory could be
won providing every coal miner en-
ployed in the sections where the Lake
trade is supplied. would join the gem
eral movement of idleness.
Whether the miners will go armed is
not yet known. but they expect to be at
the mines when the offending diggers
are ready to go to work and Will use
every influence possible to keep them
from going into the mines. Some of
b., "a fita of 10 Ion N c
claim that there will be no bloodshed.
They say that when the Golfers see
such big demonstration in favor OF
what they term a peaceful battle for
bread, they cannot enter the mines and
retain their manhood
Every effort was made to keep the
movement a secret for fear the force
Of deputies at the mines would be fur
Their increased. Just what the result
will be it is difficult at this hour to tell.
The men are known to be In Il condition
of semi-insanity on the strike ques-
ton. They have been goarded on by
suffering wives, daughters and sweet
hearts and 1T appears as if ii is the be-
ginning Of the end of the strike.
The negotiations to induce the coal
on. Secretary c. Frank Schmfd said,
tonight, that the prospects were
brighter than they have been since
negotiations began. He said that with
in the next few days powerful and po-
tent influences would be brought to
bear on the operators and with the
strike in the present condition the inti-
cations were for successful eonsuma-
ton of the agreement.
AS an evidence that the operators are
not counting on arbitration ii was an
nounced. tonight, by prominent
operator that If the strike in West Vir-
ginia does not prove successful the
Pittsburg operators will make an eff
fort carly next week to start their
mines at the 69-cent rate the rate now
asked by the strikers. They will claim
that as they are willing to pay the
price asked, the law must protect them
in the operations of their mines.
