Austin, Texas, September Ex-Governor Savers today, speaking of the Galveston situation, said:
 q look for the rebuilding of Galveston to be well under way by the latter part of this week. The work of cleaning the city of un- healthful refuse and burying the dead will have been completed by that time, and all the available labor in the city can be ap- piled to its rebuilding. If the laboring peo- pie of Galveston will only get to work In earnest, prosperity will soon again smile on the city. Arrangements have been made to pay all laborers working under the direc- tion of the military authorities N.50 and ra- tions for every day they have or will work. An account has been kept of all work done and no laborer will even lose one days pay.
 "The money and food contributions com ing from a generous people have been . great help to the people of Galveston, as 1t has relieved them of the necessity of spending their money to aid the needed and 1t can now be applied to the Improvements of their own property and putting again on foot their business enterprises.

SECOND DAY OF
 THE B|C STRIKE Both Sides Are Claiming the Advantage TIE PRICE OF COAL ADVANCED Voluntary Concession Granted Em- ployes of Lehgh Company-Pres-

TIE PRICE OF COAL ADVANCED

Philadelphia, Pa, September 1s.-The leader of the strike says at the end of the second day that 11S, GOO of the Al, 600 mine workere in the anthracite coal fields are idle No report of the mine operators makes a statement of their side of the mat ter. but individual mine owners dispute the strikers statement, saying there are more men working than the union leaders will admit. The first advance in the price of coal as;a result of the strike was made by the Philadelphia and Reading Co. today, % cents per ton being added. This advance was promptly met by the local dealers, who ipcreased the price to consumers 50 cents a ten. cloud appears on the other wise peaceful horizon in the shape or a report from Harrisburg that bitter te,.- ing Is developing between the union and the non-union men in the Lyden district, located in the upper end and involving about 2,50o mine workers. A concession was Voluntarily granted the 1000 employees of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Com pany in the region west of Maunch Chunk who will hereafter work ten hours day with a consequent increase in earnings inese men were unorganized and had not presented any grievances.
 True to its declaration made before the strike was ordered, the Philadelphia and Reading Company today brought It's mules 10 the surface In two mines near Shamokin that hao been closed by the strike, and an nounced that they were permanently aban- doned. This action makes 1t necessary for the miners who formerly worEea .n these eollieries to seek work elsewhere The ac- ton of the 400 or more employees of the West End Coal Company at Mocanaqua, r in ff2H in0 tp tontS rl~ stands. out prominently as the busy feature Of an otherwise idle territory.

TERRIBLE RESULTS
 OF A TENNESSE FUED

member of the McGee family despite the strenous opposition of the McGees. A few days after the marriage two brothers of Mrs. Howard went to Toms house and calling him to the door began firing upon him. Two of Toms brothers Ernest and Will Howard and George Morrow, joined In the fusilade and all three were shot and killed by the McGees. That was the be- ginning of the feud, since which time 1t has developed and grown with intense bit- terness. The McGees were arrested for the killing of Ernest and Will Howard and Morrow and their sister, Mrs. Tom How ard remaining true to her husband testi- fled against them. The final trial of the McGees was set for today at Madisonvile the county seat of Monroe County and it was reported that both sides were mak- ing preparations for a personal settlement of the difficulty by means of extermina- tion. The fight with it's fatal results in the Clew House Is believed to be the conse- quence of a surprise meeting, but no time was lost Tn beginning hostilities when the men came face te face The Jones boys are brothers-in-law of the McGees and they as well as the McGees and Towards are among the most prominent people in the county.

Madisonville, Tenn, September 18-The Howard -McGee feud had a dramatic and tragic climax today, in which one man was killed, two others fatally and one seri- ously wounded. Monroe County, the home of the Towards and McGees, has been ex- pecting todays events for two years. To- day at noon Charles Jones and his brother Joshua entered the Clew Hotel dining room, which was filled with guests and took seats at a table. A moment later Calvin and Tom Howard entered the room and met the Jones brothers face to face. In an instant revolvers were drawn by the four men and about thirty shots were fired in quick succession, the terrified guests making their exit from the room by way of doors and windows. When the firing ceased Charles Jones was found dead on the floor with two bullet wounds in his heart and three in the head; Joshua Jones and Cal win Howard were mortally wounded and unconscious, and Tom Howard. the only one of the Quartette left on his feet. had A number of bullet wounds on his body.

.ENSLEY SWEPT
 BY THE FLAMES WO-Thhds of the Business
 Section Destroyed ESTIMATED LOSS $1S,OOO Fifteen Buildings Were Consumed Late Last Night-Fire Started
 in a Restaurant and
 Spread Rapidly.
ESTIMATED LOSS $18,OOO

Late last night fire destroyed almost two- thirds of the business portion of Ensley, and the loss Is estimated at $1S,0O0, with practically no insurance.
 Every building on Seventeenth street from Avenue D to Avenue E and on Avenue D from Seventeenth street to the brick store of the Ensley Hardware Company were tot ally destroyed.
 The only building left standing on the the north side of Seventeenth street is the frame furniture store of Wilson and Lind sey, vacant lot next to this house pre- venting the further spread of the flames.
 The houses were nearly all frame shaclls which were hastily erected and were used as restaurants, grocery stores, lunch stands and saloons.
 The greatest loss was suffered by the Ensley Drug Company, owned by Martin & Morrison. Their loss of stock will amount to $1,S00, with $600 insurance. Part of the stock was saved, but was badly damaged.
 There were fifteen buildings destroyed, and the damage to all of them does not amount to more than $S,0O0 while the loss of stocks will probably amount to $10,0O0
 The fire was discovered about Il :30 o'clock and was then gaining rapid headway It is supposed to have originated in McCrea' s grocery store a restaurant next door. By o'clock the flames had spent their force and the busiest part of Ensley was a smouloering bed of ashes.
 There is no fire department at Ensley and all the work towards quenching the flames was done by bucket brgades As the buildings were all mere shells any ef- fort to save them was of little avail.
 Early this morning leading citizens of the little manufacturing city were discussing the advisabilty of establishing fire limits and requiring buildings in the business part of the town to be built of brick.

They have not only given money but everything has been transported to that city free of charge, while those de- string to get away from the narrowing scenes of Galveston have been transported free. The people of Texas will long re- member with grateful hearts the kindness of these companies. It Is now an assured fact that trains will be running into Gal weston this week, and with uninterrupted communication with the outside world Galveston should soon assume her normal condition"

STATEMENT
Issued by President Mitchell at 5:lO
 D. m.

Hasleton. Pa. September 1s.-The second day Of the anthracite coal strike has fail- ed to bring forth anything that would lead to the coming together of the coal opera tors and the striking mine workers Nei- ther side has approached the other, and as far as could be learned tonight there is no such move contemplated by either the op- orators or their employees. Unless there Is a break in the ranks of either 1t seems to- night that some third party will have to step into the breach and try to bring the two forces together.
 President Mitchell. in his statement to- day on the situation throughout the entire anthracite region, estimates that about 6000 additional mine workers laid down their tools today, making a total of 118,000 mine workers idle. It was estimated yesterday that of 900 mine workers in the Hazleton region, about 5000 did not stop work Pres- ident Mitchell In his estimate, however, raised these figures to 10000 Careful re- ports received from every mining town in the region today warrant the estimate that upwards of 1000 additional men did not go into the mines this morning. Not one op- orator was reported to have increased his working force over that of yesterday. President Mitchell claims that not less than 1,5O0 men who had entered the mines yes terday failed to report this morning. Al though, the majority of operators and mine superintendents give no figures, they insist they are holding their own.

 Following is the statement issued by President Mitchell on behalf of the strik- ing mine workers:

Cleveland, O.. September 1S.-Grand Chief P. M. Arthur of the Brotherhood of Loco motive Engineers said today he did not think it likely that the engineers would refuse to haul coal mined by non-union miners,
 ''The strike, If 1t continues, will un- doubtedly result in many railroad men be- ing thrown out of employment" said MT Arthur .,.A.,
 This will. of course. lead to dissatisfac- ton and unrest among them. Under such conditions the engineers might become fn- volved in the strike, but 1t is not prob- able"

 Scranton, Pa., September 18-Conditions in the Lackawanna district today were practically the same as on yesterday in the miners strike. Not pound of coal Is being mined and the numuer O. cum washeries at work remains unchanged.
 The Columbus washery, which supplies fuel for the electric light, city steam and trolley plants and which shut down yester- day, resumed today by permission of the strike leaders, who did not desire to crip- pie the public utilities, but the strikers evened things up by inducing twenty men at the adjacent Carbon Coal Company's S washery to turn out This waShery was bent on working night and day. Late last night the men were stoned from a hill overlooking the culm piled and driven to seek shelter in the eng1ne room, but when the assailants dispersed the operations were resumed. At 9 o'clock this morning crowd of more than 1000 men and women assembled near the washery and by jeers and threats induced the whole force to quit work and go home

At Altoona

Altoona, Pa, September 1s.-The an- thracite coal operators need expect no aid from the bitumtnou operators in their struggle against the miners. At recent meeting the operators of this district de- cided not to meddie in the trouble of the Eastern district They are having plain sailing at present and do not desire to court trouble. They have all the orders they can fill and some are behind because of lack of cars during the summer. The strike will divert the cars to the bitunin- ous field and the operators are looking for the best business in their history this fall. All the miners are at work and there is no talk of a sympathy strike.
