Hazleton, Pa, Oct. "A conference which is believed to mark the beginning of the end of the an5hraci coal min CTS strike. which enters upon it's fourth week tomorrow, was held at the headquarters of the United Mine Work CTS here this afternoon. Those present besides President Mitchell were Mr. Fred Dilcher, member of the executive board, and Presidents Nichols of dis trict No. l. LackaWanna and Wyoming valley; James Duffy, district No. T. Lehigh valley: John Fahey, district No. 9, Schuylkil valley. Although no in- formation was given out it is known that the question of Issuing a call for a joint convention was the principa! matter of discussion. The Associated Press is abls to state that the coming convention will be leld at Scranton un- less something unforeseen should arise between now and the time of the is suing of the call. Besides taking up the matter of a convention call it is un- derstood that the question of repre- sentation was al % considered. Three district presidents made full reports as to the conditions as they exist in their respective districts. President Mitch
 ell after the conference said he would have something 10 say tOmorroW Tn re- gard to the convention. If the date has been fixed on MT. M.tcAell and his col leagues only, know it. President Mitch ell said today that not one official of the mine workers will take hand in any action the convention might take aS the men must themselves settle everything that comes before them. The belief is that the miners will not accept the increase. N ost mine owners who have granted the wage concession do not specify in their notices how long the advance shall remain in force and it is not unlikely that an attempt will be made by the miners in convention to open negotiations with the operators looking to a. concession in this matter. President Mitchell and other leaders are strong advocates of an annual wage schedule similar to that in force in the bituminouS coal fields.

Whole Villages Swept Away,
 and Many Drowned
P anuco md Thames Rivers on the Rampage, the Latter Fifty Miles Wide-Crop Losses Are Very Heavy.

St. Louis, Mo. Oct. 7.-Telegraphic advices from Tampico, Mexico, state that the Panuco and Thames rivers, which empty into the gulf at that place, are Cn one of the biggest rises in their history and great damage was wrought by floods in the populated and cultivat- ed valleys above there.
 At one point near Chila station on the line of the Mexican Central railroad, the Tha res river is over fifty miles wide and has swept to destruction hundreds of houses occupied by MeXi- can farmers and laborers. Many drown ings are reported. All the tributaries of these rivers in the southeastern parts of the state of San Luis Potosi are out of their banks and have washed away whole villages and ruined thousands of acres of growing crops.

MYSTERY OF A HUMAN HEAD.
Found in an Indiana Lake, With Face
 UnrecOSniZable

Chicago, Oct. "A silver tooth plate to which two false incisors of the .upper jaw were wired. is the only clew to the identity of a severed human head that was found tied in a grain sack in Cedar lake, just across the Indiana line
 Identification of this victim of a sun posed murder by means of the head is impossible. so far as recognizing the features are concerned, because the head was packed in quicklGne before being thrown into the lake. and so the features Were destroyed The only hope of clew to the mystery is that the dentistry work may be recognized
 The head bids fair to furnish a mur- der mystery as famous as the Ciulden- sUppe case in New York

London. Oct. 7.-The Standard has the following dated at Tien Tsin. Fri day:
 "A German force came into collision with 5000 Chinese. described as Boxers. few miles south of Tien Tsin. this morning. The Germans were checked and compelled to retire on Tien Tsin.

FRUIT ON THE MARKET
Varieties Are Few But the Quality
 Is High

Housewives who believe in the very sensible theory that fruit is most es- sential to a healthful diet. do not find Q great variety from which to chose on the local market. Pears are more plentiful than any other fruit and the Bartlett is the favorite of them all, although the Winter and Ellis is an ex- cellent fruit. Most of the pears come from the Orme ranch west of Phoenix and the Schornick ranch. near Mesa, Most of the best apples are from Cali fornia. although the Verde valley still provides a. few. BellhOWers are the best to be found here and the red winter Foreman is another good variety. Grapes are plentiful. but the peaches are nearly all gone, some fine ones, however, are coming from Skull valley Arizona quinces are of high class but the supply is limited and according to MT. G. W. Mardis there will be not more than 1000 pounds in the Phoenix market. POmegranates are cheap and good, retailing at 10 cents per dozen. They keep better than any other Ari- ZOna fruit and are good for two months after picking. There are still many hundred bushels unpicked, but a rain would spoil them. splitting them open. As a table fruit the pomegranate is not generally used, but the kernals make fine dessert, served with cream and sugar or with a dressing of claret
 Bananas will soon be on the market, but bananas are never sold in large quantities in Phoenix.
 'Barlns7 were never higher than they are at the present tine." said

INFORMATION WANTED.

Scranton, Pa, Oct. Now that the convention to consider the ten per cent offer is assured. attention is turned to what the companies mean by a ten per cent increase to the miner and his helper. The miner works by contracct and pays the labOrers out of his earn ings. As a rule ths miner cuts six loads of coal for which he gets $630 Of this he pays for powder. oil and re- pairs for tCOls and the wages of his helper. The laborer's pay is fixed at SD much per day and in this region it averages about s1.75. After paying his expenses the miner has about So 30 left for himself. A ten Der cent advance gives the miner 63 cents extra per day. The laborer wants his ten per cent and as rule the miner must be content with 45 cents, or per cent. But in many instances the mir CT has two la borers. This means that 36 cents must come out of his 63 cents and the miner finds himself enjoying an allowance of only per cent. Just how the oper- ators want this offer interpreted is not known here is not known here. Local operators say that the men who framed the offer either did not have in mind that the miner pays the laborer. or else having it in mind, left the laborer out or consideration altogether and left it for the miner and labOrer to settle among themselves which portion of the ten per cent the ldbOrers would receive The laborers will not, it is thought. be content with anything less than a full ten per cent raise. and It is this which will cause hitch when the convention comes together

To Begin an Active Campaign
 On October l6th
Boy Orators Are to Be Turned Loose and Bryan Notices Are to Be Kung Up-Croker and His Money In Evidence.

New York, Oct. 7.-Tammany has mapped out a plan of campaign on a gigantic scale, to begine with the big Bryan meeting on the evening of Oc- tober 16 in Madison Square garden, and to continue every night thereafter until election day in every part of the city. The present quiet is to be followed by a great deal of noise. fireworks. flash lights and display of banners. On every street corner, in every available hall, the Bryan orators age to spout
 Mir. Croker's idea of young men in Tsliti s is to be carried out by the em- ployment of boys as speakers. They cannot vote themselves. but they will give their reasons why those who have votes should cast them for Bryan. In one assembly district. the Fifteenth. corps of boy orators is already in train ing, talking nightly to amused audi ences. The Kindergarten feature will not be the only one, however. Bryans face and epigrams from Bryans speeches will be displayed at night on canvasses by the stereOpticon method on every prominent thorOushfare in the city. Tn the theater programmes. in street cars. on ferry boats. this terrible warning will stare every reader in the face:
 If you wish to remain free people vote for Bryan"
 MT. Croker is going to show by the way he will spend it that money is easy to get. Before he will let go of any of his cash, however, he will dispose of his nominations first. Mir. Croker is not an easy boss like Mir. Platt in this re- spect. Mr. Platt sometimes does not know himself who will be nominated in certain districts.
