ILLINOIS MINERS FINED.
Men Claimed the Weighing Scales
Out of Order and Refused
to Work.

Belleville, H., Sept. 12.-The execu-
tive board of tie United Mine Workers
of Illinois met at Belleville, Friday, and
considered the matter of a fine of $40
imposed on each of eight men en-
ployed at the Hippard coal mine for
refusal to work on July rs, who sued
the company to recover the amount OF
the fine, which had been withhe,u from
their wages on the following payday.
The men refused to work, alleging
the weighing scales to be out of order.
The mine inspectors declared the scale
in order, and the men were told to go
to work. They refused and the miners
union imposed the fine.
The executive board of the state, at
it's meeting Wednesday, decided that
men who go to trial with their cases
should be fined an additional $40 and
compelled to pay the court costs,
amounting to $31 each. If the men do
not pay they will be debarred from
work
The imposition of the fine is in pur-
suance of an agreement between the
operators and the miners unions and
the penalty is imposed by their own
unions The fines go into the state
treasury of the miners union.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCHES
Rev. DR.. R. F. Coyle Believes in
Ultimate Union Of All Branches.
1t VIII Come About AS n Result Of
the Reconstruction of the Creed
Y of the Denomination.

Denver, Col, Sept. 12.--Rev. DR.. r. F.
Coyle, moderator of the general assem-
bly, of the Presbyterian church, who
has just returned to his home in this
city from a lecture tour in the east,
believes that the time is not far dis
tant when the IL different Presbyterian
churches in the United States will be-
come one. This probability, he says,
is due to the reconstructing of the
creed of the denomination which took
place last May Calvinistic and Ar
menian lines, which have so long kept
his and the Cumberland Presbyterian
churches separated, have now, he says,
been effaced, and at present no distinc-
tons other than ceremonial separate
the two great religious bodies that be-
gan as one in the days of Cromwell
Another STEP" said DR.. Coyle, that
our church took at the last general as
sembly in May, and one that tends
toward the unity idea, is to emphasize
Christian education. With intellectual
development, many sordid distinctions
that tend to keep churches separated
will be obliterated.
"Our church now has an educational
committee, and upon it has been i'm
posed the duty of raising $12,O00,O0O
for educational purposes. Most OF this
money will be spent upon schools in
the west, for our institutions of learn
ing in the east are in good shape finan-

France Also Suffers.

Paris. Sept. 12.-Telegrams continue
to report great ravages caused by the
storm, which still sweeps the coast of
Brittany and the English channel, dur
ing Friday, but is reported to be slight
ly abating Friday night. The principal
sufferers are the fishermen, many of
whose boats have been wrecked,
though the loss of life is small. The
pilot boat LIE Havre was wrecked near
Cherbourg, and the captain and two
sailors were drowned. The storm,
which was accompanied by heavy
hailstorm, extended inland devastating
the fruit trees and vines, and especially
in the champagne region around
Rheims The heavy rainfall also
caused floods which have done much
damage. Around Lille the hail did
considerable injury, and trees were
uprooted and roofs blown off.

STORM DEVASTATES
GREAT BRITAIN
Bodies Washing Ashore Swell tho
Terrible List of Fatalities.
MANY VESSELSAND CREW LOST
All the Coast Towns Suffered meal
culable Damage-In Addition to
Deaths From Drowning Are
Many Other Fatalities.

London, Sept 12.-While the details
Of the havoc wrought by the great
storm which ragged over the British
isles, Thursday, are necessarily incom-
plete the reports coming in from all
parts of the United Kingdom show that
the devastation was general, and it is
feared that the loss of life is much
greater than was at first supposed.
Vessels with Entire Crews Lost.
Lloyds already report over fifty seri-
GUS casualties to shipping. All sorts
of vessels were caught in the gale and
many foundered, several with their en-
tire crews. A great number of minor
craft is believed to be lost, and the
bodies washing ashore continue to
swell the terrible list of fatalities.
Sevcnty-TwO Miles an Hour.
| The gale sprang up with sudden fury
from the southwest, and the wind blew
with a velocity at times reaching ~
miles an hour, and this continued for
several hours.
Sheep and Cattle Drowned.
All the coast towns suffered more or
| less, and the agricultural sections IL
the interior report incalculable damage
| owing to the late harvest. The beau
| tiful hop gardens of Kent have been
ruined, and in many places the valleys
Of the Thames and the Severn have
been submerged, quantities of sheer
and cattle being drowned.
London Suffers Great Loss.
For some time Geographic communi.
cation was completely stopped and the
land lines are still interrupted. The
telegraph companies report that the
wires and poles are down everywhere
Great numbers of fine trees in the
parks of London and other cities were
torn up by the roots or stripped Of
their branches, and the list of minor
damage casualties is amazing. in ad

BUSINESS OUTLOOK
is VERY GOOD.
Reports From ALI Sections Of the
Country Indicate Big Boom.
FALL PROSPECTS EXCELLENT
An Increase Of Shipments of Wheat
10 Europe Is NOted-General Out
look in All Trades Far Ex-
ceeds Expectations.

New York, Sept. 12.-Reports from
the international Mercantile agency
throughout the United States on the
state OF trade are as follows: Distri-
button of general merchandise on the
whole is quite active, notably so at
New York, st. Louis, Boston and Chi
cago. Jobbing in the northwest is
checked by late grain deliveries. Dry
goods and clothing are most active at
Baltimore, rejecting confidence at the
south. The like is true in New Eng
land. Fall outlook at the east is ex-
cellent Chicago dealers in implements,
parel report gains in orders.
Influx of country buyers into ST.
Louis stimulates dry goods and millin-
cry lines, Kansas and Nebraska buy
ing freely, especially from flooded dis
tricts. Mercantile collections are slow
at the south and northwest because of
the crops being late, but this is less
noticeable at the southwest.
Long Strike Broken.
Philadelphias long drawn-out strike
is practically broken, but all the men
have not gone back yet. A general cur
tailment of anthracite coal production
is predicted through half time at the
mines, which will affect $50, 900 miners,
and may curtail wage distribution by
nearly $4,000, coo The outlook is for
curtailed pig iron production, late cuts
in prices putting more stacks on nom
paying basis. Rumors of reduction in
steel prices are not confirmed. There
is less activity in glass, building and
silk and cotton industries for the mo-
ment, but early revivals are counted on
| in all of them. The drop of pig to SIT
is expected to bring the Steel trust into
the market for $4,000 or more tons.
| The Harvester trust must also buy
| heavily soon.
Bad weather is delaying threshing,
and harvesting of spring wheat, and
with continuance promises to be seri-
Gus. Lack of competition in the Allan
tic coast tobacco section keeps prices
about normally low.
Condition of Corn Favorable.
A good portion of the western
and central western corn crop has been
saved from possible damage by frost by
eight days of favorable conditions, in
Guiding a warm wave throughout the
belt, tempered by light, but beneficial
rains. An increase of Chicago ship
ments of wheat and flour to Europe is
noted.

a clash between the civil and military
authorities in the camp is looked for.
