PROSPECT OF SETTLEMENT.
The Miners May Come TO nm Agree
ment with Operators To-Day.

ment with Operators To-Day.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. January &.-The
delegates TO the conference between the
miners and operators who remained in
town over Sunday, spent the day lounging
about the hotels and talking the situation
over. Surface indications are that both
sides stand ready to make some conces-
sions and the probability is the first meet
ing of the joint scale committee after the
delegates have talked the situation over
to-day. will result in each side getting out
some hint Of what these concessions are.
The final outcome OF the matter, as pre-
dicted by those who lave attended other
conferences. Is that the operators will pay
a few cents per ton more than their first
offer of nine cents advance, the miners
viii come to the screen agreement re-
naming as it is at present, and the ILL.,
nois miners will come into the double
standard agreement now in force in the
three other States of the competitive field.
In order to arrive at this settlement, suf-
fcient pressure will be necessary TO bring
the Illinois miners into a compact of this
kind. The miners of that State are maxi
ing money and have large sums available
for a defense fund. These conditions don't
exist in all of the other States and the in
fuence needed TO make Illinois accept a
return of the screens must come from the
delegates representing tn miners in Ohio.
Indiana and Pennsylvania.
The miners, especially those from Illi-
no.s, who oatnumber the delegations from
other States. say tonight they despair OF
effecting an agreement at this convention.
They say that an advance of ever 20 cents
a ton and the re-enactment OF the double
standard OF measurement would mean a
reduction to them and that they would
rather remain out of work an entire year
than accept the double standard.

4 HAUI BY SAFE CRACKERS
IN THE STORE OF THE LOCKE
SHOE COMPANY
YESTERDAY.
AN EXPLOSION OF DYNAMITE
Blew the Safe Into Fragments and
Shattered Glass i'm the Windows.
Persons Heard the Re-
port-Not Much Money Secured.
Entrance Effected Through a
TransOm in the Rear-A Clue.

A burglar or burglars blew up the
safe of the j. H. Locke Shoe Com
pany, at Nos. 1o41 and I043 Main
street, early yesterday morning. Dyra-
mite was used, and the explosion was
heard by several persons in the vicin-
ity. A cash drawer in the safe was
riied of its contents, amounting to be-
tween SIS and $50, which was doubt
less much less than the burglars ex-
pected. The police are working upon
a clue to the identity of the thieves.
The job was done shortly after five
o'clock, at an hour when the city is
without police protection, and an hour
when most of the recent crimes of this
sort have been committed. 1t empha-
sizes the necessity for an augmenta-
ton of the force. or a different ar
rangement of hours for the officers.
An entrance to the building was eff
fected from the rear. The Locke build
ing and another structure are connect
ed by a bridge. The transom over the
rear door is fastened with a simple
latch, so that very little difficulty was
experienced in getting into the store.
An examination made by the police
revealed the fact that two holes were
drilled into the door of the safe, from
which it is inferred that the first effort
to blow it proved unsuccessful. The
explosion made a loud report. and
shook the building and adjoining
buildings. 1t is said to have been
heard on the Island. The safe was
blown into fragments. The books were
destroyed, but fortunately only a num-
Der of small accounts were lost, as 9TH
er books are kept in the Office on an
other floor. The glass in the real
windows was broken by the concus-
sion. The lights in the gas jets were
e~xtinguished, and when the doors were
opened about $50 o'clock. the store
room was filled with escaped gas.
The iron cash drawer in the safe
was carried down over the bank to
the Pennsylvania railroad tracks,
where it was broken open, and the
fragments found later by a policeman.
The burglars overlooked $11 in a draw
err in a desk neal the safe. The Sat-
urday receipts had been partially paid
out in salaries to employees Of the firm.
Mr.. Fox. toll-keeper on the steel
bridge, plainly heard the report, and
thought it was a natural gas explo-
sion in the neighborhood. He heard
a noise as of some one walking over
broken glass, but owing to the dark
ness could see nothing. Mr.. Peter
Healy, who sleeps in an upstairs room
in an adjoining building, was awak-
ened by the noise and the shaking of
the building. and could not account
for 1t.
Newsboys discovered the disordered
condition of the rear of the store
soon after daylight, and promptly no.
titled an employee Of the firm. The
police did not learn of the robbery
until about $50 o'clock. They found
a stick of dynamite, three nitro-glyc-

One of the English officers now bottled up in Mafeking is going to write
A thesis on how tt be graceful thou gh under shell fire. This officer is
Colonel Hore. of the police fort. who has his headquarters in a exposed
portion of the beleaguered town. Whenever the shells begin to fall,
the colonel with considerable haste, but even more dignity. secretes him
self N the bombproof shelter provd ed for his protection, and there he lies
until the Beers grow tired of poundh ing away at him. When the canonad-
ing stops, he craws out OF his hole and climbs the roof If a neghboring
cottage to watch the course of events without the town and report o the
same o headquarters. But it is i'm possible for an officer to look at his
best when he has been hiding an hour or two in a grmy hole in the
ground, though one can clearly see how discretion is the better part OF
yalor in his case.

With persistent boosting" partic-
ularly if the press agent is not bur-
dened with a conscience, any old boxer
can go to the East and be looked upon
and heralded as a conner" John Fin
negan, of Pittsburg, furnishes a case
in point. Finnegan has been in the
East for some time, and the newspa-
pers are saying nice things about him,
but it is a significant fact that he has
not yet been tried out. He was match
ed with Peter Maher. but it has been
declared off. 1t is announced that his
match with Gus Rubin next Wednes-
day is reasonably certain to take place.
Finnegan has never shown any form to
justify the good opinion Of his abilities
He has been seen in Wheeling twice,
and the local followers of the game re-
gard him as lacking cleyernesss and
g%eneralship. If he had met Maher, it
is a safe guess that he would have
left New York on the first train after
the battle, and would have settled back
as an average third-rate boxer, or pos
sibly taken up some honorable and
useful occupation other than pugilism.
He should prove an easy mark for
Rubin also, unless he has developed
wonderfully since he appeared in
Wheeling.
Next Thursday night Terry Mccoy
ern will try to stop Eddie Santry in
Chicago in six rounds. Santry's friends
are confident that he will be unable
to do so, while the general opinion is
that the Chicago boy will succumb to
McGovern's whirlwind tactics before
the limit is reached. S~antry's man
Rger, in a recent letter to Oscar Card
ner, expressed confidence that Santry
would win, basing his opinion upon the
alleged fact that George Dixon out
pointed McGovern in the early rounds
of their battle. eff Santry don't win I
hope you will" was the closing SEN
tence Of the letter.
Eddie Gardner, since his victories
over Fred Green and Kid Goulette, has
become very popular in Wheeling,
nearly o%utshining his famous brother,
Oscar. Here. too, Eddie has gained
many admirers. Yesterday Jack Nc
Clelland's hacker wired to Wheeling,
asking whether Eddie would take Dave
Sullivan's place against McClelland be-
fore the Duquesne club, providing a
side bet was made. Gardeners people
answered that they would accommo-
date McClelland for a division Of gate
receipts.-Pittsburg Post.

A BAD INSECT PEST.
The Railroad Worm Is, n Worse Foe
to the Apple Crop Than Even
the Tent Caterpillar.

One of the worst pests that the APP
pie grower has to fight is the railroad
worm, called also the pulp worm and
the apple maggot. The fruit growers
of Vermont are unanimous in giving
this insect the first rank among their
insect enemies.
1t is worse than the tent caterpillar.
That can be entiely overcome by
spraying whereas spraying has no eff
feet on the railroad worm.
The railroad worm or apple maggot
is the cause of the pulpy, punky condi-
ton of the apples as we find them now
in the stored fruit, and in that offered
for sale. The eggs are laid just under
the skin of the apple by small fly.
This fly begins her work in June, and
keeps it up pretty much all summer,
so that there may be worms Of all ages
in the apples. She has strong prefer
ence for sweet apples, and practically
ruined the crop of Talmans last year.
Still, she works in all varieties, sour
as well rs sweet, and causes hundreds
of dollars loss to the fruit grower.
We have consulted the authorities at
the Vermont experiment station, and
they frankly admit that no satisfactory
way Of dealing with it has been dis
covered. They say that considerable
good can be accomplished by keeping
hogs or sheep in the orchard to pick up
the windfalls. These windfalls are
usually full Of apple maggots, and the
hogs digest them out of existence.
Experiments are being made at vari-
Gus places in the United States, and we
hope eventually to know some more eff
fective way of dealing with this pest.
But for the present we must rely on
the practice of destroying the wind

Journal. "I've ridden and hunted with
him, eaten and laughed with him,
canned and slept with him, wrestled
and prayed with him, and l always
found him rather good sort-fair,
honorable, generous, kindly, loyal to
his friends, his own worst enemy. The
impression he makes when he rides
through town in drunken revel,
shooting miscellaneously at everything,
is a deservedly bad one, l grant you,
but YOU should see him on the prairie
in round up or before stampede.
There he is q hero"

Care of NWrsery stock

Whenever faruler goes in for the
growing of nursery stock he need have
no lack of winter work. All the seed
lings have either to be grated or their
roots in many cases are made into
stocks, and a scion inserted in each.
These roots and stocks with the scions
are put in cellars, where they are COW
cred with moist, not wet, earth, and
when the scion is inserted the future
tree is SET up in unfrozen soil again, COW
erng it even to tae top bud of the scion.
1t is long, weal!some job for one man,
or for two or three, to root graft young
trees enough to set an acre in nursery.
It also requires much care in handling,
to see that the scion is not loosened be-
fore it is made fast by growth in the
ground. America Cultivator.
