WORK MAYBE SUSPENDED
OHIO COAL DIGGERS OPERATORS
UNABLE TO AGREE.
Latter Refuse to Pay the Scale Fixed
by the Chicago AEreement-COn-
tract Expires April L.

COLUMBUS, o., Feb. 25.-The conference
of the Ohio miners and operators adjourned
this afternoon without an agreement being
reached and the prospects are that there
will be a suspension Of work in the Ohio
mines on April 1, when the Chicago agree
ment, under which coal is now being mined,
expires. The operators proposed that the
same prices for screened coal and run of
mine as prevail in the thin-vein mines of
the Pittsburg district be accepted in this
State, but the proposition was unanimously
rejected. The Ohio miners are bound by
the Pittsburg agreement to accept no price
under that fixed by the Chicago agreement,
which makes the run of mine rate in Ohio
AZ Ii cents per ton, the rate insisted upon
by the Ohio operators being AZ 2-3 cents per
ton. The price for screened coal in the
two districts is the same and the operators
contend there should be no difference in the
run of mine rate. When the operators prop
nit the matter to arbitration, but this was
also declined by the miners, and, It being
evident that an agreement was impossible,
further negotiations were abandoned. The
operators submitted at the conference in
support Of their contention figures showing
other States Of the competitive field has ia
creased steadily the production in Ohio has

The news that the Khalifa is gathering

900 men, and is marching On KhartUm came

A controversy has been raging this week
over the destruction Of the Mahdfs tomb
at Omdurman and the dispersal of his bones.
1t Is said that the officers, after the battle,
divided his bones among themselves, one
officer getting a finger nail, while the en-
PANIED head was given to the late General
Gordons nephew. The radical newspapers
Indignantly condemn the outrage, which is
defended on the other side on the ground of
expedlency, 1t being held that the destruc-
tlon or the Mahdi's remains was a great
blow to fanaticism. The Irish members
heckled the government on the subject and
drew forth a statement to the effect that
the ministers had no on the
subject. General Gordon's nephew denies
being in possession Of the Mahdfs head,
which Is expected shortly to find it's way TO
the College of Surgeons of London, to take
place alongside the heads of Eugene Aram

There is considerable anxiety over the re-

INNOVATION AT A TRIAL
Photographs ~PurpOrting to- show All
Stages of IL Tragedy Introduced.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 25.-In the trial Of Camp
bell Allgaier on the charge of murder yes
terday q decided innovation in criminal iuris-
prudence was introduced. Photographs pur-
porting to portray every stage of action in
the course of the assault were brought forth
by the State and allowed as evidence. The
entire tragedy. as the prosecution repre-
sents it, was acted out before a camera.
Not only were the relative positions shown,
trayed. First, the Baker home, at No. 5055
Ridge avenue, in front of which the kill
Ing took place. on Aug. q last, was ex-
hIbited. showing the fence. the gate and
steps, where the men were standing. The

try TO prove 1t was enacted. A man
representing James A. Baker is about to

Campbell Allgaier, stands about six feet
In the rear, on the sidewalk, with a re-
volver in his extended hand. as If he had
Just fired the fatal shot With the eX-
scarcer in the photograph than in August,
when the killing occurred, the pictures
We're pronounced correct representations by
the States witnesses.
When the pictures were introduced 1t
created a storm of argument, but Judge
Tally was firm and could not be changed
In his decision. Attorney Anthony, for the
defense. declared that photographs or draw
ings to represent relative distances were, of
course. permissible, but no court had ever
allowed a series OF pictures to be used as
evidence which endcavored TO show the sew
eral stages of q battle between two men,
about which there is always considerable diff
ference OF opinion. Judge Taity ~overruled
the motion and an exception was filed. If a
conviction is obtained an appeal may be
taken on this ground. The photographs
were taken by Police photographer Baker
for the prosecution several days after the
TRAGEDY
