CARBONADO, Dec. 1.-THE gloom
hanging over Carbonate has settled
among the people into dull melancholy.
There is no wailing and tearing of hair
and extravagant lamentation. The waters
of feeling are still, but they run deep.
The busy life OF the camp seems to have
been suddenly cu- short by the fatality
that has 50 reduced the population.
Explosion still a Mystery.
There are no details to discuss. few
dramatic escapes to shudderingly talk
over. 1t is all mystery deeply hidden
IN the bowels of Wingate hill The
miners went to work, there was a shock
that shook the earth, and now the dead
are being brought out and carried to their
homes.
That Is all.
The Welsh and Finn miners are not an
imaginative people and conJure up no
distressing scenes. Their thoughts do
not follow the miner in on his dumpy lit
tie car. They do not climb with him up
the rough shoot by which he reaches
from the miniature railroad on the water
level to the crosscut, where he is called
by his contract. He secures his safety
lamp and his belt and goes to work with

Apparently the British were set an inn
possible task. and were treacherousiy guido
ed. After a trying march. and being un-
der arms sixteen hours they attacked the
wrong part Of the Boer position, where the
hill was impregnabe and the bughers were
estimated to number 600o men instead Of
5oo as the spies had reported. There Is
little in the story to mitigate the intense
humiliation caused by an episode which
was almost an exact counterpart Of the
battle of Nicholsons mex.

Year.

II ia learned that there will be a
meeting Of the Wheeling stogie manu-
facturers in a few days for the purpose
of discussing ways and means of en-
forcing the decision given last week at
Boston by Federal Judge Colt the ef-
feet OF which is that stogies made out
Of Wheeling cannot be sold or adveF-
tIsed as wheeling stogies."
The manufacturers propose to take
steps to ascertain all of the many man
ufacturers away from this city who are
beneftting by the use of the word
aWheeling" on their goods. and sys-
tematlc campaign against all such VIII
be inaugurated. The plan to be follow
ed win be outlined at the meeting OF
the manufacturers, which has not yet
been called.
AS the full scope Of the Boston decis-
ion dawns upon the local stogIe trade
It's Importance and far reaching effects
are becoming in a measure realized
and the prediction made at the start
by the Intelligencer that the most Inn
portant result will be tremendous in
crease in the output Of stogles made
here is now generally conceded. Al
ready the output is the largest in the
history Of the industry here, being
about 100000 month. stogIe makers
are coming here from other cities, a
number arriving recently from cleve-
land, Youngstown and Pittsburgh. all
of whom readily found employment.
Since the trouble began at the seamon
plant a few days ago. the men who
struck there have found places in
wheeling factories. It is said that the
Pollack factory is more than 100000
lstogles behind its orders and other fac
tories are experiencing the same in
ability to keep up with the procession
ofrorders. A well known stogie maker,
Vas enthusiastic enough to predict that
instead Of the 500 men now finding em-
ployment here in the stogie trade a
year or two will show an increase to
as many thousands. No doubt this is
rather visionary, but that the number
will increase largely is undouDted.

LABOR DAY CELEBRATION

VIII Probably be Held on the Ma
tionaI Labor Day This Year.
The first Monday In September prom
Ises to be observed as Labor Day by
the Ohio Valley Trades and Labor As
sembly, instead Of the last Saturday in
August, as formerly. The first Mon
day in September is the national holL-
day, and the state legislature at its
last session passed the bill making La
Dor Day on this date legal holiday,
which fact is instrumental in making
the trades assembly consider the de-
parture from the last Saturday in Au-
gust.
The assembly's Labor Day commit
tee was called to meet last night, but
q quorum wasn't obtainable, SO the
when the committee is called to meet
again. Several OF the members are
in favor OF holding the annual labor
demonstration on the legal holiday,
especially because the Legislature
hearkened to the labor unions request
In making the day a legal. holiday In
West Virginia, hence 1t would be In
consistent now for the trades assembly
to celebrate on another day.
One objection to the legal holiday Is
that the state fair grounds, on which
the Labor Day picnic Is usually held,
will be used by the fair association
that week. The labor people may de-
eide on holding the picnic at Wheeling
Park. and this location was Informally
considered last night. A factor In
support of observing the legal holiday
