GENERAL STRIKE OF MINERS
Looks Like Nothing Will Avert Trouble
Along the Monongaheln,

Pittsburg, April 5.-An indications
point to a general suspension of coal
mining along the Monongahela river.
and by tomorrow it is exsected that
10000 diggers viii be on strike. The
operators have been requested by the
miners to acknowledge the interstate
agreement and comply with its terms.
Thus far only portion of the
FIRMS has acceded to the demands,
and the others propose to fight il out
with their employees and the United
Mine Workers association. Nothing
short of the operators complying with
the conditions of the Chicago agree
ment can avert a general strike. and
it is probable that the river operators
viii experience a shutdown similar to
that which the railroad operators had
on their hands last summer.
Already 1000 diggers have struck and
5000 are expected to quit work today.
Tomorrow a monster meeting is sched-
uled for West Elizabeth. which will be
attended by about 5000 miners. and IL
is almost a certainty that the strike
will be made general at that time. The
operators say they were not parties to
the interstate agreement and do not
propose to live up to its terms.

ths gath of the huge wave that swept
through the broken dixie. Their little
SON in the yard saw the wave coming
and hurriedly climbed a tree.
The father and mother had time to
rush upstairs when the house was swept
from its foundation. They climbed on
the roof as the house fcated off. and
there they heard their little son in TIE
tree crying Good bye, papa and
mamma" The agonized parents were
powerless to so 70 his assistance and
in a few moments the house had been
carried beyond the reach Of the boys s

HOW 1T WENT ~ OHIO,
Cincinnati Goes Democratic -Hepablican.
Make Gain at Cleveland.

Cincinnati. April 5.-Little interest
was taken in the election here yester-
day. except I'm factional fight among
the Republicans. Edward J. Dempsey.
Democrat, was elected superior court
judge, over John Calvin. Republican. by
1.6S2 votes. There were $4,000 votes cast
much less than half the usual vote.
The vote at the municipal elections In
Ohio was very light. The issues were
purely local and often personal. The
following prominent cities elected DEM
ocratic officers: Sandusky. Mansfield.
London. GAINESVILLE. Fremont, woos-
ter. Upper Sandusky, Gallon. Marys-
vile. Jackson and Dayton. The fol-
lowing cities elected Republican Off
GERS: Massillon, Ravenna. Urbana.
Elyria. Warren and Mount Vernon.
Majorities were generally small. A
feature of the elections all over the
state was the enormous vote polled by
women for school trustees. Bowling
Green reelected the mayor who fined
himself for getting drunk.
Cleveland, April 5.-The municipal
election resulted in a Republican vic
tory. ii. Q. Sargent. the Republican
candidate for school director. Is re-
elected by about 1900 majority over
Charles p. Salem. Democrat. This is
a Republican gain of about 900 over
the majority at the state election last
fall. The city council will be Repub-
lican by about the usual majority.
Several thousand women voted for the
candidates for school Offices.

collins and burial caskets. You can ship
them by boat from Evansville. or
Mount Vernon, Ind, or from Paducah,
or by the Baltimore and Ohio South
western to Cypress Junction, where
they can be teamed down by wagons.
There are about thirty people lost. No
estimate can be placed upon the dam

least 100000
A dispatch from Mount Vernon, Ind,
says: THE following partial list of the
drowned was obtained from people who
returned from Shawneetown on the tug

Cypress Junction. Ills, April 5-The
latest reports say that the entire levee
will be destroyed and every frame house
in Shawneetown will be dashed to
pieces. The wind Is blowing thirty-fiye
miles per hour, with rain that cuts like
glass. Fear is felt for the rescue force
now in Shawneetown, as nothing can
stand the waves, which are rolling ten
feet high. This is from temporary tele-
phone station on hill just this side of
Shawneetown. If the gale keeps blow

Marshal L. B. Holleman returned on
her and reports the situation there ap-
palling. He said that people who have
not visited the scene cannot picture in
the imagination the suffering and des-
titution that exists there. In the Riy-
erside hotel Sunday night there were at
least 500 men, women and children
huddled together, their clothing wet,
and nothing with which to build .'res.
Women were wringing their hands al !
crying, searching for members of their

stout hearted men were seen weeping.
Death Roll May Reach 100.
II is impossible at the present time
to give correct estimate of the loss
of life, but it may reach or exceed 100.
Sheriff Galloway lost his entire family.
Galloway saved himself by climbing
tree, where he was subsequently res
cued. He is Frustrated. and fears are
expressed that he may lose his mind.
The levee broke above the city and the
water came with such a rush as to
sweep all the one-story buildings and
many others before it. The area COW
cred by the water is about one mile
square, and in less than an hour the
water was fifteen to twenty feet deep.
The people who are Gagged up in the
third stories of what houses remain
standing need food and fuel. The
water is withia three feet of the top of
