 After the executive meeting it was stated that the operators proposition for joint committee had been agreed to and the following committee of miners was announced.; T. II. Tinney of Pratt City, L. B. Evans of Graves mines, Andrew Reid of Brookside, P. R. Murray, colored, of Stout's Mountain. Mir Fairley was named as adviser to the miners commit tee. But later in the day when the opera tors announced their four men and in- formed the miners that it would be per- fectly satisfactory to them for the mine workers to have advisers but as far as the operators representatives they would have no advisers. This caused the miners to abandon their plan of having advisers and MT. Farley was made a regular member of the committee in the place of P. R. Murray.

Operators Committee.

The furnace men appointed as, their committee the following J. M Franklin, coal mining superintendent for the Ten nessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company; T. C. Culverhouse. coal mining superin- tendent of the Sheffield: James Strong mining superintendent for the Re- public Iron and Steel company, and D. F. Morrow, mining superintendent for the Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron com pany. These two committees form the joint committee A meeting was held yesterday afternoon but only preliminary details were discussed The joint commit tee adjourned to meet this morning when they will take up the wage scale.
 Quite a Divergence.
 The operators would not give out for publication their counter proposition touching a scale, but it is understood that the maximum is slightly lower and the minimum considerably lower than the scale proposed by the miners, which contained the same figures for cutting coal that the scale which will expire the last of this month calls for, namely H50 minimum and 57Ia maximum
 It is understood, too, that the operators wish to go back to the monthly pay day, instead of the emi-monthly as at present
 The joint committee is holding it's meet ings in the First National Bank build ins.
 The miners convention adjourned yes- terday to meet this afternoon at 1:30 o'clock.
 The scale committee will report back to the convention from time to time until It's work is completed. It will probably be several days, perhaps week or more, before the miners and the operators reach an agreement and sign up.

Romney's Ice Mountain.

A Parkersburg wv. Va.) dispatch to
the New York World says: One of the
great natural curiosities in West Vir-
ginia Is the ice mountain in the upper
part of Hampshire county, about six
teen or seventeen miles from the town
of Romney.
The west slope of this mountain is
covered with loose or shade rock. By
removing the stones at any time dur
ing the hottest DAYS of the year pure
crystal Ice can be found At the foot
of the mountain a farmer has erected q
large log dairy which was partly built
in the hill by excavating the earth and
rocks. On the side next the hill the
openings between the logs are filled
with sOlidly frozen ice and the floor is
ice covered to depth of several inches
Butter, milk, eggs and meat arc kept
in this building all summer without the
slightest injury. Insects or reptiles, of
course, cannot exist in the building. In
fact, all of that part of the mountain
is safe to wander over at any time
during the summer, for the cool nrss of
the ground makes creeping things tor
pid if it does not kill them.

Samuel A. LIuhtner's Memorv.

In the issue of August 5th, Staun
ton SPECTATOR and INDICATOR, l
saw the notice of the death of Sam
A. Lightner. of Newport, Augusta
county, Va. Mr.. Lightner was one of
five members of Co. E, 5th Virginia
Regiment Infantry, captured at the
Opequan Creek ford, near Wade's De-
pot. on the morning of September IS,
1864, and taken to Camp Chase, Ohio,
and there confined till the end of the
war.
While there, half starved and thinly
clad, he wrote to some relatives in q
western state, asking for a small remit
lance. They wrote him if he would
take the oath of allegiance to the Uni
ted States government, they would let
him have all the money he wanted, and
procure his release from prison also.
Bat Sam Lightner was not of that
kind. Neither money, nor food nor
snch thing. although suffering from
hunger and cold was any inducement
to him, but instead it proved an insult.
Peace to his memory
