ALL MINERS WORKING In ENTRY X
KILLED IN AN EXPLOSION.
Disaster In Mine No. 20 at bonanza,
Ark.-Narrow Escape of 1872 Men
Who Were I'm Same CoIliery.

FORT SMITH. Ark, Nov. 24-Thirteen
miners were killed and great damage was
done by an accidental explosion of gas this
afternoon In coal mine No. 20 at Bonanza
Ark, twelve miles from this city. At night
fall only six of the victims had been re-
covered. They are: Rob Reisdale, Ira
Strickland, Will Kehoe. Mike Walker, w.
d. Moore and Grandpa Brown, father
of Pit Boss Brown.
The explosion occurred at 1 o'clock this
afternoon. There were about lis men in the
various shafts at the time. All escaped
without injury except the thirteen who
were employed In Entry X, the scene of
the explosion. The force OF the explosion
was terrific and timbers were torn from
the walls Of the passages for several hun
dred yards at the mouth of Entry K.
The passages were so completely obstructed
that the work of rescuing the entombed
men was tedious in the extreme and sew
eral hours were consumed before the first
body was found. 1t Is thought the gas was
accidentally ignited by a miners lamp.
The miners who escaped with the aid of
others summoned from near the shafts i'm
mediately set about clearing the passages
In the hope that some of the thirteen en-
tombed men might have survived the ex-
plosion. BY nightfall six bodies had been
recovered and the rescue work still in
progress. 1t is now considered certain that
all Of the entombed men have perished.

Cashier Had Money and Checks Be-
fore Him Ready to Make Trip
to the Bank.
MYSTERY ABOUT THE LOSS
THERE WERE A NUMBER OF PER-
SONS IN OFFICE AT THE TIME.
One of the Boldest Daylight Rob.
berries known I'm This Ctty-De-
tectives at Work.

One of the boIdest daylight robberies in
the .annuls of crime in Indianapolis was
committed yesterday afternoon in the city
ticket office of the Big Four Railroad at the
corner of Meridian and Washington streets
and the amount of money secured by the
thief was $3.50. The cashier of the ticket
office had just finished balancing his cash
account and had counted out over $500 In
in front of him preparatory to depositing 1t
IL the bank. With the money there were
also several checks.
For an instant only the attention of the
cashier was drawn away from the money
in front of him when he turned his head
to catch the words of a fellow employe.
but in that instant the daring thief secured
the cash. When the cashier again turned
to pick up the money he found 1t missing,
and thinking that joke might have been
played on him by one OF his friends in the
office some time was lost in searching the
office for the roll of bills
The waiting room of the ticket office at
that time was crowded with persons ex-
cursionists and others, and the thief was
quickly lost in the crowd and he probably
lost no time in leaving the building.
DETECTIVES AT WORK
The Big Four detectives were at once
notified of the theft and they went to work
without single clew, trusting to luck
alone to recover the money and capture the
guilty person, but up to the present time
they have failed to make any headway in
their case. The theft was kept very quiet,
as it was not desired that the informatio
should be given to the public. The theft
stands out as one of the most daring ever
committed here In broad daylight, within
full view of many people, either a man or
woman calmly picked up the pile of money
and walked out the door of the ticket office
before the loss was discovered, and once
outside with the whole world free to travel
it is safe to say that the money is prob
ably gone for good. The loss will fall on
the shoulders of the cashier, as he is under
bond to make all such losses good to the
railroad company.

MITCHELL ON THE BOYCOTT.
Thousand Men Have a Right to Do
What One Man Has a Right to DO.

NEW YORK, Nov. A.-John Mitchell,
president of the United Mine Workers of
America, at a dinner of the Universalist
Club declared, when asked if he considered
the boycott fair: THE boycott may be cruel
and inhuman OF 1t may be helpful and of
great good. / believe that thousand men
have q right to do what one man has a
right to do. / am in favor of closed shops
on the ground that a man has a right to
work for whom he pleases. but not right
TO work under whatever condition he
pleases."
Mr.. Mitchell also declared against the in
corporation of unions. He predicted that
the present era of industrial war would be
succeeded by an era Of peace with honor
to both sides.'

Street Cars VIII Begin Running Again
To-Day without MOlestatiOn
from Rioting Crowds.
VICTORY FOR THE COMPANY
ONLY ONE IMPORTANT CONCESSION
is MADE TO employees.
Strikers and Sympathixers Cause
Much Trouble by Cutting Wires
and Plugging Cable Slots.

CHICAGO, Nov. 25.-The strike of the
employees of the Chicago City street-rail-
way Company was settled at an early hour
this morning at conference between the
mayor and the councilmanic peace COM
mittee. President Hamilton and E. R. Bliss,
counsel for the company, and the execu-
tive board Of the local union of the strikers
The basis on which the settlement was
reached is a complete victory for the COM
pany far the original demands of the
men are concerned. The agreement reached
will be ratified at a meeting of the men at
o'clock this morning. and it is expected
that traffic on all the lines of the company
will be resumed to-day.
The only important concession made by
the company was an agreement to rein
state all the strikers, including the outside
unions who went out in sympathy with the
trainmen, with the exception of those who
resorted to violence during the trouble.
The arbitration of the wage scale is to
be according to the wages paid outside of
Chicago, and not on the basis of the local
street railways. These are the two points
tndt nave DeeH StuInDilnS docks 10
peaceable adjustment of the strike for the
past week. The company has insisted that
it pays higher wages than any similar cor
poration in the country. The men were
fearful that the arbitration on the scale
paid in other cities would decrease their
wages, and they fought stubbornly for their
point. The original demands of the union
were as follows:
Tristan increase Of wages amounting to
4 cents hour for all men employed on
the electrical lines; before the strike the
men offered to accept l cent an hour. Both
sides were at all times willing to arbitrate
the wage scale, the basis of arbitration be-
ing the sole point at issue. and on this the
company wins.
Second-The employment of none but
union men. On this point the company
wins.
Third-That the officials of the local
union be given the right to say what men
shall be discharged and their discharge
not to stand If Ii did not meet the approval
of the union. On this point the company
wins.
Fourth-The right by the union to regu-
late the routing OF cars, II being claimed
by them that man was compelled to be on
duty for from fifteen to twenty hours in
order 10 make full days day. On this
| point the company wins.
Fifth-Demanded by the union after

contracts. that all men should be taken
back and given their former positions. The
