The Employees Well Satisfied and tile
Collisry Is working.
The strike of the miners and laborers at
Morea was amicably settled Saturday even
ing, after conference between committee
OF the strikers and Superintendent Bulloch.
The miners had been paid 81 80 per yard for
cutting coal and wanted 81 90. They also
asked for slight raise in wages for other
class Of work. In making the adjustment
the superintendent and the strikers commit
tee struck an average Of wages paid ut the
collieries in the vicinity Of Morea and this
new scale was then agreed upon as the basis
for the wages to be paid in the future.
The employees claim decided gain. Cen
eral Superintendent Bullock, at the final con-
ference Saturday stated that the company
was willing to raise the price per yard in
breasts in the Buck Mountain vein 81 and
give an advance of five cents for bugging coal
All company men will be paid 5000 per
week and hereafter, instead of using 81 feet
collars in the headings feet collars will be
used. This was received with much apprecia-
tion although it did not include all they asked
The men in the 7-foot gangway received no
increase. They had asked an increase of 80
cents per yard. The men employed on the
strippings receive an advance of FIVE cents
per yard. The claims Of the breaker boys
wore not considered, but they are satisfied
with a revision Of the working schedule
Heretofore the colliery started operations at
$3.50 a. m, stopped at 10 a. M, started at 1880
and quit at any time from 10 to 20 minutes
after p. m. 1t was claimed that this was
extorting time from the boys. Superinten-
dent Bullock said he was not aware that such
system existed and hereafter the coliery
will start and quit promptly at the proper
hours. The colliery resumed operations at
seven o'clock this morning

Chicago, Sept 25.-A mass meeting
of bohemian resiuents of Chicago was
held yesterday to denounce those re-
sponsible for issuing circular recent
ly in which it was stated that Bo-
hemians are in the custom of forming
secret clubs among themselves for the
purpose of inducing suicides. The
speakers denounced as a falsehood the
story that Bohemians organized them
selves into societies for the purpose OF
causing suicides by the wholesale, and
held that the percentage of suicides
among Bohemians was no larger than
among other nationalities.

FOUR v ESSELS
Selected by the Navy Department to
Go at Once to the Philippines.

WASHINGTON, October 5.-The navy
department was busily engaged to-day in
arranging to reinforce the fleet in the Phil
ippines as suggested yesterday by Admiral
Dewey in the course of his conference with
the President. In going over the field of
available ships it was found that the plan
conceived last evenly of sending the Ma
rietta and the Machias with the Brooklyn
would have to be modified so as to drop
the two gunboats.
BY noon the department had completed
Its programme and was in position to send
sailing orders to the ships chosen to go to
Manila lie New Orleans was telegraphod
to proceed at once to the New York navy
yard to have some changes made in the
galley apparatus. This change can be
made in six days when the ship will start
On her voyage. The Brooklyn will be
turned back from Hampton Roads as soon
as she comes within signalling distance
and sent to New York. whence she sailed
this morning before the department could
reach her with orders. She VIII be ready
to sail by the end of next week. A cable
gram was sent to the Nashville at San
Domingo to proceed at once to Manila via
Suez and she is expected to get off within
JWenty-four hours. OrGerS were also ter
egraphed to the Badger at Mare Island to
proceed to the Philippines as soon as pos
sibIe. No orders have as yet been sent to
the Bancroft at Boston.
1t was suggested at the navy department
that three of the four vessels now under
orders for Manila will pass through the
Suez canal and so will be available to di-
vert to South Africa should matters there
take shape requiring the presence of a
u. S. naval force.

Epecial to the Register
GUYANDOTTE, w. Va, October 5.
AT ten o'clock this morning James
Miller, well to do citizen of Millers-
port, Ohio, was found wandering about
the streets in the eastern part of town,
in dazed condition. He was covered
with blood from head to foot. His
nose was half gone, one ear is cut off,
He has several bad gashes about his
face and his skull is fractured in three
places.
Miller's wounds have been dressed.
and at times he is able to mutter: Ne
grces did it,"
Officials believe he has been beaten
UP and robbed by several negroes seen
passing east on the Chesapeake and
Ohio last night. He had considerable
money yesterday. This is all gone as
well as his watch. Miller will likely
die. He is from one of the leading fam
lilies in southern Ohio.
