MYSTERIOUS coNFERENcE.

thing Regarding it.

Philadelphia, Sept. 3l.-A mysteri-
ous conference took place yesterday
between President Mitchell of the
United Mine Workers Of America, Sec
retary and Treasurer w. B. Wilson,
District Presidents Nichols, Duffy and
Fahy and another person whose iden.
tity the other parties to the con.
ference refused to divulge. At the
Offices of the Philadelphia & Reading
Railway company 1t was stated posi-
lively that no official of that COM
pany had been present at the meet
ing.
A member of Mr.. MitchelPs party
who declined to allow the use of his
name made the following statement:
ANY one can readily understand
that only matter of the first impor-
tance in relation to the strike would
bring President Mitchell, Secretary
Wilson and District Presidents
Nichols, Duffy and Fahy, who form
the executive board of the United
Mine Workers. to this city together.
There must necessarily be continued
conferences and negotiations with the
coal operating interests before the
strike can be settled"

as the cause of death.

with his head and shoulders on the
floor and his legs on the bed. Doctors
were summoned, but they failed to re-
suscitate him.
Nine. Zola was unconscious but aft
er prolonged efforts on the part Of tho
physicians she showed signs of life.
but it was some time before she be-
came conscious.
A slight odor Of carbonic gas was
noticed when the servants broke into
the bedroom. From the position Of M.
Zola's body it was evident that he had
tried to rise, but had been overcome
by the fumes from the defective stove.
The servants Immediately opened the
bedroom windows and sent for physi-
clans. A commissary of police was
also summoned.
It was reported here Turing the day
that there were evidences of suicide In
the death of NJ. Zola. Nothing has so
far developed to substantiale this
theory, and the statement made by
Nine. Zola to the magistrate seems to
disprove it.
