ARE ACCUSED OF ARSON CHARGES AGAINST PROMINENT
 MEN OF PR0NTo. Will and Lucius Reddoch and Isaac Notes Alleged to Have Set
 Fire to Store After Re- moving Goods.

Troy, June 27.-(Special )-No little sur prise was caused here today when Char Ie Reid of Pronto. this County, came to the city early this morning and went before Justice w. U. Mcclure and swore out warrants of arrest against Will and Lucius Reddoch and Isaac Notes, charg- ing them with arson.
 Pronto is the first station this side of Brundidge on the Alabama Midland Rail- road and is about fifteen miles below this city. Charlie Reid. formerly conduc- tor on a passenger train of the Plant System, owned three or four frame store houses at Pronto: one of which was oc- cupied by Reddoch Bros (Will and Lu- cius Reddoch dealers in general mer- cbandise, and another occupied by John Goolsby. in which he kept the postoffice and small stock of goods. The store house occupied by Goolsby stood near the one occupied by Reddoch Bros.
 The house occupied by Reddoch Bros, was set on firelast night about Il o'clock and both buildings were destroyed. It was stated this morning by persons in- terested. that suspicious had been excit- ed toward Reddoch Bros, before the burning by their having sent goods away from the store over the railroad and by wagon, and that they had been watched. Last. night 1t is alleged a wagon was loaded with goods from the store. and after 1t had gone the store house was set on fire. Some men were seen to apply the fire. but the persons who saw them were not sufficiently close to recognize their faces. Dick Freyor and James Ev erette set out after the wagon and over took 1t a short distance above John Red doch's father to Reddoch Bros, and Will Reddoch and Isaac Notes. his brother-in- law, were with the wagon. The wagon it is said. passed through this city by way of a back street.
 Constable Freeman went to John Red- doch's this morning with warrants for the arrest of Will Reddoch and Isaac Notes, but finding there only Isaac Notes. arrested him and brought him to the city. He gave bond for his appearance at his preliminary trial.
 A deputy has gone to Pronto to arrest Lucius Reddoch.
 Reddoch Bros belong to one of the best families of the County. Their father is a we'll to do farmer residing about four miles southwest from the city, and has always been looked upon as an honor able upright man. Reddoch Bros, have many friends and relatives in the city, who deeply deplore the affair, and hope the matter may not be as represented Isaac Notes is a son of Pressly Notes late of this County, but who now resides in Montgomery.
 Reddocb Bros were insured for S,OOO

THE BREACH WIDENS
MINERS STRIKE IS BELIEVED
 TO BE INEVITABLE.
Already There is Talk of Banking the Fires in the Furnaces. Another Conference Will
 Be Held Today.

Birmingham, June 27.-(SpeciaL)-The session of tn, conference between the operators and miners in the Alabama coal fields this morning was very brief and the briefness makes the situation more solemn.
 It is now believed that a strike of the miners is inevitable. though there is hope yet expressed that some sort of agree ment will be arrived at.
 When the conference began this morn ing Colonel R. H. Pearson. one of the operators, announced that the joint scale Committee had failed to agree and that the matter had approached no closer con- dition than 1t was day before yesterday when the conference adjourned. After this announcement Chairman Edward Flynn asked if there was anything to be presented, and silence reigned for sev- eral minutes. No suggestion or motion being offered, the Chairman declared the conference adjourned until tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. Not sound was heard after the report by Colonel Pear son.
 Leading miners seen after the confer ence stated that there was nothing now to do in the conference. The operators OiltT DelteT NHdt COEtTdCt now in effect and the miners will make no concessions to speak of on their de- mands which were made on Tuesday last. The miners ask for several in- creases, not only 5 cents advance per ton on the maximum price, but also an advance for the day laborers in and about the mines. The operators assert that all indications point to fight, strike being meant.
 There is some talk of fires at furnaces being banked. Already the Republic Iron and Steel Company announce that one furnace has been banked and that an- other will be treated the same way if no settlement is arrived at before Monday The coal that Is on hand. 1t is under stood, at this place. will be used in the operation of the third, new furnace of the company.
 This afternoon no change In the situa- ton could be reported. What will be done tomorrow morning at the confer ence remains to be seen. The expecta- tions on both sides tonight appears to be that a strike will be declared.
