Make Some Concessions.

Chicago, January 24.-The inter
State bituminous coal miners made
little progress at to-day's session, but
the miners made their position plain,
and signified their intention to do or
die. Their demands were reiterated
for a ten cent advance and uniform
base of weights. AS the convention
seemed to be nearing a point when &C
ton would be absolutely necessary the
whole matter, including the resolu-
lions presented to the miners, was re-
ferred back to the scale committee
with instructions to report tomorrow.
The main question is now whether
Illinois will break away from the con-
tracts running to May /, or insist upon
holding them good If the Illinois
operators can be arranged for nothing
will prevent a quick settlement, as the
other operators are ready and willing
to grant the advance demanded

Game of Poker.

Pineville, KY, January 24.-William
and Harvey Topic are dead and Lew
Wallace is fatally wounded as the re-
suit of pistol duel in room in Leslie
county, near the Bell and Harlan
county line, last night. The Topic
boys were invited by Wallace to go to
his house and engage in a game of
draw poker. The game seemed to be
one-sided, Wallace winning all the
money. Finally the Topics refused to
pay some money that Wallace said
they owed, and a quarrel followed.
Peace was finally secured and the game
continued until nearly morning, when
the quarrel was resumed Pistols were
drawn, the lights shot out and des-
perate pistol duel began. When the
shooting ceased the two Topics were
found to be dead and Wallace fatally
wounded.
