MS nODle QeeuS anu Curious dCHlCNG-
ments will be handed down from gen.
Grafton to generation and to the ages
vet to come by those who were his
companions and comrades. But I will
speak of him to-day from the high
plane of fraternity and brotherhood.
Andrew J. Kennedy was an Elk. He
believed in our order, its principles and
it's teachings. He was one of our most
eminent and best loved leaders. His
friends were legion, and as the months
passed by the list ever heightened. The
principles of our extraordinarily, JUS
tice, brotherly love and fidelity-found
responsive echo in his great heart.
He was a friend of humanity; he be-
lieved in the fatherhood Of God and the
brotherhood Of man; the religion of love
and the gospel of good works; that
above all sects was truth, above all ma
tons humanity. He believed that the
sons of men were sons of God. He be-
lieved in spreading flowers in the path
way of suffering humanity and letting
sunshine into the dark places of human
life. He was a big-hearted, broad
minded man, who loved his home, man
kind and country; whose sympathies
went out to the downtrodden and I'M
fortunate throughout the city. He was
kind, indulgent parent, a dutiful hus-
band, an honored citizen and an Up
right friend. Having been faithful to
the teachings of our order, he laid him
down like one who wraps the draperies
of his couch about him and lies down
to pleasant dreams

BIG BIRMINGHAM FIRE
MOORE AND HANDLEY'S STORE
 PARTIALLY DESTROYED.
Caused by Explosion of Barrel of Gasoline-Several Persons Were 1njured-Loss Will
 Reach $3OO,0O0.

Birmingham, Oct. S.-(SpeciaD-The i'm m snse wholesale hardware establishment of Moore & Handley, covering the whole block between Twentieth and twenty
 first Streets and Powell Avenue and the railroad yards, was parualiy destfoSeu by fire this morning. The fire was caused by the explosion or a barrel of gas olins and burned so fierce ly that in a few minutes the flames had spread over a 'arge part of the building and ragged with indescribable fury. The total value of the stock of the big concern was valued at $3OO,OOO while the build ngs destroyed ws-e valued at $lOO,- 900. The loss on buildings and stock is estimated at $30O,OOO. The insurance is placed at $17000O.
 While the fire was m progress several loud explosions took place in the burn ing buildings, which sent sheets of flames in showers hundreds of feet into the air, and caused the earth to tremble many blocks away, producing almost panic among the thousands who were looking on at the work of destruction. A report went through the crowd that there was carload of dynamite stored in the build ing which caused a wild rush of the peo- pie away from the scene. The report was later denied Dy one of the officers of the firm, who said there was only one small keg of powder in the building, which had just come in yesterday.
 Several persons were injured during the fire in an effort to move goods from the buildings. J. A. Simpson a clerk in the establishment, mad a leg badly hu: by a pump falling on it and Willia m
 Rice received a serious cut on the shoul- der and was burned about the face.
 It is stated tonight that William Rice,
 the young clerk employed by Moore & Handley, was so severely burned in the
 face that he will lose both eyes.
 The cause of the explosion. it is said,
 was that young Rice had gone into one of the departments of the store to get l something in stock and tt o9ihg dark n
 the room, he struck match to see his way over the can of gasoline and the explosion and the fire followed. Some of the insurance on stock was carried as follows:
 Continental Insurance Company, S, 300. Southern Mutual, 5000.
 Scottish Union and National, 5000. Liverpool, London and Globe, S15,O0O Westchester, 5000.
 American Central S5,000.
 | Philadelphia Underwriters, $100O0. Fireman's Fund, $175OO.
 St. Paul Fire and Marine, 800. Traders Insurance Company, $500. | Phoenix of London, $7,5O0. New Hampshire $2,5c0.
 German-American, $1,5OO.
 New York Underwriters, S25OO. | New York Underwriters and London
 and Lancaster, 5000 each on building.
 Messrs. Moore & Handley. the members
 of the firm, are among the most promi- | nent and substantial business men of Biz.
 mingham. They came to this city about | fifteen years ago when Birmingham was
 yet a small town and started their pres- ent business on only $500 capital. Their | buildings and stock burned today were
 valued at nearly half a million. Thev
 also owned the entire block on wbic1 ! their buildings were located.

MITCHELL IN NEW YORK.
Conference With Pennsylvania Sena-
 tors-Nothing Given Out,

SSAS @SNSA@N@@o NNNSA
 New York. Oct. 8.-President John Mitchell of the United Mine Worker s Association, arrived at the Pennsylvania depot in Jersey City tonight, having come on a Lehigh Valley train from Wilkesbarre. With him were district presidents Nichols, Fahy and Duffy. They went immediately to the Ashland House.
 MT. Mitchell was asked If he had come to hold conference with the operators. but he declined to say. He refused to an- swer all questions and to say how long he would be in the city. MT. Mitchell had the appearance of having been under severe mental and physical strain but as- sured qaestioners that he was in good health, though tired.
 At 10 clock MT. Mitchell called up Wilkesbarre by telephone, the reason be- ing that he had expected some telegrams which h did not find waiting him. Short ly after this he turned to the newspaper men and said:
 Information has been conveyed to me by telephone that total of 260 local unions have reported unanimous votes against resuming work The men are not deterred from going to work through any fear of bodily harm but are resolved to remain out until the differences be- tween them and the operators ar arbi- trated or until they are ordered to re- turn by their leaders. This leaves not more than forty or fifty local unions to hear from yet. The unanimous action includes the votes of strikers not mem bers of the union, but were present at the meeting and voted with the union | men"
 At il o'clock President Mitchell and two of the district presidents went from the Ashland House to the Fifth Avenue

Baer's Resignation Reported.

Philadelphia. Oct. S.-A rumor was cur rent here tonight that George F. Baer, President of the Philadelphia and Read ing Railroad, had submitted his resigna- ton to the Board of Directors
 Inquiry at Mir Baer's residence here elicited the information that he had re- tired for the night, leaving strict injunc- tions that he was not to be disturbed. Two members of the Board of Directors, now ever, emphatically denied the report.
 The Reading directors met today to con- slider the annual report of the company, and 1t was stated that no other business was discussed.
 The impression prevails here that Unit ed States Senators Quay and Penrose are still endeayoring to effect a settlement of the strike. The two Senators went to New York .ate this afternoon. but de- clined to state the object of their visit.

Relief for Cincinnati.

Cincinnati, Oct. S.-Temporary relief from the pressure of the coal scarcity in Cincinnati is in sight in novel way. Eight tow boats at Point Pleasant, at the mouth of the Kanawaha River are ready to start between midnight and day light tonight with one million bushels of coal. The rise in the Ohio is to be augmented by throwing down all the dams in the Kanawaha. This, it is un- derstood. will produce a sufficient depth of water to bring the barges to this city, where they ought to arrive by Saturday.

He declined to say word as to his talk with the Senators and the lat ter left word with the clerk at the Fifth Avenue Hotel that they would not see any one, instructing the clerk to refuse the cards of any persons who might wish to interview them.

RESOLVED
 TO STAY OUT Miners Unions Agree to
 Remain ey Strike.
 MITCHELL 5 CONFIDENT
AS Replies Poured in Dictated
 Letter to President.
Absolute Confidence in Their Leader Expressed by the Strikers-Let- ter to Roosevelt Was Not
 Made Public.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. S.-Unless Presi-
 dent Mitchelfs hurried visit to New York
 bears fruit, the end of the mine workers strike is long way off and the prospect
 of sufficient coal being mined to satisfy
 the public demand is extremely poor.
 Every local union of the miners organi-
 zation throughout the hard coal belt held
 special meetings either last night or to- day and resolved to remain on strike
 until the mine owners grant them some
 concessions. And while the reports of
 these meetings came pouring into Wilkes
 barre President Mitchell dictated letter
 to the President of the United States. in which he gave his answer to the proposition that the strikers return to
 work and trust to having their condition improved through an investigating com mittee. What the answer to the mining chief Is he refused to divulge, but 1t is difficult to conceive that with the replies of the local unions piled around him he could do otherwise than respectfully de- cline the Presidents proposition. Mir.
 Mitchell sent his letter to Washington be-
 fore he had heard from all the locals and
 at 8 o'clock he, accompanied by the three
 district presidents, left for New York.
 Itwas a busy day for the miners of-
 ficials about headquarters. From early
 morning until late tonight the returns came in constantly. This evening the corps of newspaper correspondents sta- toned here were invited to examine the reports and not one was found that was not couched in firm language. Briefly stated. the resolutions in these reports show firm confidence of the men in the integrity and judgment of their president. praise President Roosevelt for his efforts | to end the strike ,denounce the presi- | dents of the coal-carrying railroads. de- nounce the employment of the coal police, thank all organizations and citizens | throughout the country for the financial assistance given and denounce Governor | Stone for sending troops here.
 | Nearly all the resolutions contained | sentence to the effect that the men will remain out though all the troops in the United States were sent here' until they are granted some concessions
 Additional troops for this region have not yet arrived and the general strike situation remains unchanged. The coa company officials have nothing to say beyond the fact that they are awaiting de- velopments. There is no increase in the shipment of coal, very little of which is being produced.
