NJ MORE GO ID COAL BURG
SIoss Company Will Not Renew
 the Contract. THE JAIL WILL BE ENLARGED And the Prisoners Worked on the Streets The Working of Prisoners in Mines Brought
 City s3, 900 Annual Revenue.

After March 31 all the male prisoners of the city will be worked on the streets ami sidewalks. The Sloss Iron and Steel company who have heretofore hired the prisoners and worked them in its mines at Coalburg yesterday notified Mayor Evans that after March 31, the time when the present contract expires, it would not re- new the contract nor accept convicts at any price.
 On Wednesday night at the meeting of the city council a resolution prepared by Alderman Altman was introduced with the request that it lie over until the next regular meeting which provided that the present contract with the Sloss company be not renewd after its expiration As the Sloss company has informed Mayor Evans that they do not desire renewal the resolution will probably never be acted upon.
 The contract brought an annual revenue of about 8, GOO to the city and now expenses will be increased for their maintenance.
 Mayor Evans has asked for estimates for the enlargement of the city jail which wil make 1t three instead of two stories high, and will make arrangements for working all male convicts on the streets and for housing in idleness the female prisoners who cannot be worked
 There are now about seventy city pris- oners at Coa.burg, all for long terms. About twenty of these are women. As the contract expires on March 31 and no prisoners are not paid for who do not serve sixty days. Mayor Evans yesterday gave orders to the wardens to sand no more prisoners to Coafburg.
 The number in the city prison yesterday was sixty-seven About one-half of these are engaged every day in cleaning up the city under the orders recently issued by Mayor Evans.
 The number of inmates will gradually in- crease as the long term prisoners will be confined here also. This means a larger number in the street gangs, and necessarily more work will be accomplished and the streets will be put in excellent condi- tiOn.

Notes of the Convention

There is a singular magnetism about crowd. Possibly it is the current started by a centering of thought and action upon one subject which attracts the passing ,n;nd and holds 1t irresistibly. Perhaps it is this which explains the presence or so many who were not delegates at the meet ing of the Daughters of the Confederacy Thursday and Friday. Fascinating as IS the crowd, the onlooker is struck with the personnel of its individual memners.

AFFAIR AT THE FOUNDRY.


The foregoing copy OF a petition tells
all that there is OF friction between the
Honolulu Iron Works Company and
some OF its employees. There has been
no strike. There has been no demand
for Increase OF wages 1t Is not likely
that there will be trouble OF any sort.
This conclusion Is drawn from con-
versations with men OF the establish
ment and the management OF the
works. Through the influence OF agi-
tatOrs there has been some loud talk
ing and some very wild and utterly un-
true talking. II is not at all difficult to
get at the facts without prejudice or
color.
Al o'clock yesterday afternoon
about 200 OF the native Hawaiian en-
plOyes Of the wOrKs massed at the
business office and after a short inter
view with James A. Kennedy, the head
man in the offices. met Manager
Hedemann upon his return from lunch.
or Mr.. Hedemann the men asked an
immediate reply to the petition given
above. 1t had been intended to discuss
1t earlier In the week, but postpone
ment was had on account OF extra
amounts of work in connection with
shipping to mills on the other Islands.
Mr.. Hcdemann for minute or so
listened TO score or more of men talk
ing at once, and then announced that
he could not treat with the whole as
semblage, but would be pleased to
meet. say. three representatives OF the
party at 3 O'Clock.
At 3 O'Clock, trio came to the Of
fee and their chairman made the state
menl that they had been chosen 10 rep
resent all Of the native Hawaiian work
men and that the workmen would
abide by any agreement reached be-
tween their committee and the manage
ment. There followed at once careful
nd full consideration of about every
sentence OF the memorial. The men
talked freely, without restraint. but in
their argument simply emphasized the
requests OF their petition. They did
not raise the question OF wages at all
Manager Hedemann explained to the
men that In the early days OF the works
1t was not much trouble to advance
money on the blind" Saturdays. This
was when the force was small. Now
more than 400 men were In the employ
and II was the judgment OF the com
pany that II would be unsatisfactory
and impracticable to permit the system
Of advances to continue. The men
came in on the "off" Saturdays with a
rush and took the time Of the whole
ofiice force and caused errors. A pay
day once fortnight should be consid-
cred ample, as hundreds OF men work.

month and were not allowed TO draw

who felt that they must use credit,
could get II for two weeks as well as
one The change did not discriminate
at all. Haole mechanics who had been
In the habit Of calling for money on
blind' Saturdays, would be disap-
pointed hereafter.
il was finally agreed that the COM
mittee should say to the men that the
enforcement of the new rule would be
deferred to the new year. The month
OF time ADDED would give all oppor,
tunity to make personal arrangement,

fl FRIGhTFUL H66IDENT,
Boiler Explosion at Madison Kills Three Men.
Fred Baxter Dangerously Injured.

A terrific explosion occurred at 9:40
Monday morning at the Northwestern
round-house in Madison. as the result
OF which thee men were instantly
killed two seriously and several slight
~ hurt and the engine aud half the
round-house wrecked.
The dead men are Frank Beck, fore
man OF the round-house. Wesley
Sehelper of Baraboo. engineer Of the
engine whose boiler exploded. and
Chas. +. Young, engineer, also of Ban
aboo. The two seriously hurt are
Fred V. Baxter fireman on the wrecked
engine, and Emil Oleson. a machinist
in the round-hoLse.
Fred V. Baxter is former Lancas-
ter boy. son of Mrs. VIM, Baxter. He
lives at Madison, is married, has wife
aud two children. Mr.. Baxter's in
juries consist of a fracture of the right
leg below the kree, scalded hand and
a few bruises about the face. He was
standing in the cab when the explo-
sion took place. His engineer was at
the side of the engine. 1t seems al
most a miracle that Baxter was not
killed. 1t was thought that his leg
would have to be amputated but later
reports say that the physicians now
think it can be saved.
The explosion was terrific. Pieces
of boiler, iron, smoke stacks, ETC.,
were scattered in all directions. A
piece of the boiler weighing from 600
to 500 pounds was thrown block and
a half from the round house. The
bodies OF the men who were killed
were frightfully mangled, burned and
blackened. Some portions could not
be found.
The only word received as to the
cause of the accident is that the boiler
may not have had enough water in it..
The inquest is set for today, Wednes-
day, when testimony on that point
may be taken.
