widow and her daughter-in-Iaw, Mrs. L.
Meyers. also widow, conducted a store

day Cook was aroused by noise in the
room of the elder Mrs Meyers. He spranS

Meyers apparently dead on the floor.
Dragging her from the fire, he went in

having been beaten out. He rescued her
body just in time from the flames. He
then rang the farm bell and aroused the

STRIKE AMONG COAL MINERS.
Breakers ON Screens and Compulsory
Doctors Fees Cause Workmcn
Co ONT.

PiTTSBURC;. KAS.. Dec. lS.-(Speciall 4
strike is in progress among the employees
at the Western Coal and Mining Com
pany's mines at Fleming, about seven
miles southwest of this city. ON last
Wednesday the employees demanded that
the company take out the breakers on the
screens and two days Were given the COM
pany to comply with the demand. Friday
there was meeting of the miners, the COM
pany not yet having complied or given in
timation that they interded To 90 so. What
the result of the meeting was can only be
guessed. but from the actions of the miners
yesterday on refusing to work ii is taken
that they are still anxious that their de-
mands be complied with. Another demand
is now attached to the first one, and that
is the adjustment of the compulsory doc
tors fees. President Connery, Of the
United Mine Workers. was in the city this
morning, and was asked in regard to the
strike at Fleming. He had notification in
regard TO the trouble. and was then on his
way to F'rontenac, he admitted, and to
other points. to confer with members Of
the executive board in regard to taking
suitable action in the event that the con-
tentiOn between the miners of Fleming and
the Western Coal and Mining Company
should spread to other shafts. The eXecU-
line of action in case of trouble The com
pulsory doctor fees are said to be the sub
jcct of much discussion among the miners.
and they are looked upon one of the
grievances of which the miners would make
an effort to rid themselves.

eral Million Dollar Sewer
Scheme.

HAVANA, Dec. 1S.-General Clous called
on General Castellanos this afternoon by
appointment to bring TO the latters notice
the action of the Havana municipality in
attempting to hastily negotiate during the
last days of Spanish control a sewer con-
tract involving the city in an Indebtedness
of millions of dollars.
The project underlying the contract was
approved by the municipality last Friday
without sufficient examination and the con-
tract was to be executed at the next meet
ing of the council, tomorrow morning.
General Castellanos expressed his sur
prise, asserting that he had received no
previous intimation of the contemplated
action. and thanked General Clous for in
forming him regarding a proposal which
was entirely without his sanctions and OPP
posed TO his directions and desires.
He promptly announced that his secre-
tary would inform the civil governor and
the municipal authorities that no contracts
of this nature must be entered upon and
that whatever had been done in this line
must be annulled.
