UNITED MINE WORKERS.
The Annual Convention of the Or
gnnixation to Meet Soon
in Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh, Pa, Dec. 23.-The call for
the tenth annual convention of the
United Mine Workers, to be held in this
city in January, has been issued by the
national officers. 1t contains the NOM
nations made for the national offices
with John Mitchell, of Indianapolis. for
president.
Among the important questions to
be discussed is the eight-hour system
which has been in operation since the
first of last April. This system has
proven such good thing for the miners
that there is little doubt but that they
will make strong effort to have it re-
newed at the joint convention which is
to follow. Another important matter
which the convention will have to de-
termine will be the policy to pursue in
regard 10 demanding an increase in
wages at the joint convention. The
miners officials refuse to discuss the
! matter at present and will give no idea
of what they will advise the miners to
do. After the close of the national con-
vention the joint convention Of miners
and operators will convene. At this
convention the wage scale for the ensu-
| ing fiscal year. commencing April 1,
! will be settled, and an interesting time
| is expected The convention will meet
| here on January Q.

A Million Dollar Fire.

Terre lIaute, Ind, Dec. 20. = The
worst fire in the history OF the city OF
Terre Haute took place Monday night.
The blaze started in the big show win
dows of the Ravens & Geddes company,
wholesale and retail realers in dry
goods and notions. The cause is not
definitely known, but it is supposed
that live electric wire set fire to the
cotton with which the window was dec
oraed, and before the blaze could be eX-
tinguished the fire spread to the deco
rations of evergreens in the store and
the building was wrapped in flames in
an incredibly short space of time. A
conservative estimate of the damage is
81, 100000.

MARINE LOSSES.

Than Ever Before - Estimate
Places Total at S2,GOO.OOO.

Chicago, Dec. 23.-Marine losses dur
ing the season of 1895 were much great
err than during any previous season on
the lakes. On the total losses, no two
underwriters will make an estimate
within 100000 of each other. The gen.
eral average places the aggregate loss
at 1900, 900. Vesselmen protest that
these figures are too high, and say the
insurance companies do not lose heav-
lily. Lake Michigan has been the
scene of the greatest number of serious
losses, with Lake Superior as second.
Lake Huron was remarkably free from
disaster, while Lake Ontario produced
larger number of serious losses than
Lake Erie. The number of boats de-
stroyed is So; aggregate tonnage, 3d.
1914 tons.
