OHIO REPRESENTATIVES
THE FIRST TO ARRIVE
Frank l.. Robbins, of Pittsburg,
VIII Reach the City This
Morning.
BOTH SIDES ARE, HAPPY
Operators and Miners of Subscale
Committee VIII Sign Agree
ment To-Day.
BOTH SIDES ARE HAPPY

The arrival here last night of Horace Il.
Chapman and w. II. winder. wealthy coal
operators from Ohio, signaliZed the ratifi-
cation of the joint scale agreement with
the mine workers, which, it is expected, will
be signed to-day Frank l.. Robbins, of
Pittsburg, regarded as the leader in the
wage scale negotiations, will not arrive I'M
til this morning.
las far as We now know, said Mr.. Chap
man last night, when seen at the Claypool.
"Our visit here is but an incident of the
ratification The miners fought it out and
have ratified the agreement. Unless some
thing Unforeseen develops, we will COM
plete our business quickly. l do not know
of anything unusual to develop
w. H. Winder the other delegate from
Ohio together with w. II. Haskins and d.
III. Sullivan, of the Ohio miners, form, with
Mr. Chapman, that States scale commit
tee Western Pennsylvania, Indiana, Hi
nois and the other States in the territory
covered by the joint agreement will be rep
resented when the assembly meets for sign
ing the articles.
Both miners and operators are in the best
of spirits, as members of the scale commit
tee from both sides were anxious that a
hostilities, which would be a precursor Of
a strike.
w. S. BOGLE PLEASED.
Among others who arrived at the Clay
pool last night were j. f. Kolsem and w.
S. Boyle leading Indiana operators. When
seen last night, Mr.. Boyle said: 'Of
course we are glad that the miners voted
down a strike, but even at that l believe
they got the best of the bargain. The in
dustrial conditions of the time certainly
warrant larger reduction by the opera
tors. Reports were conflicting about the
change of sentiment, but l felt that the
miners would vote the strike down. How
ever. the vote in favor of the compromise
somewhat exceeded my expectations"
The conference is not expected to last
long probably not more than to-day or to-
morrow. Aside from signing the new
scale, the conference will set a date for
the next joint conference to be held in 1906
The new scale, according to the terms set
forth in the ultimatum of the operators and
accepted by the miners, will embody a re-
duction of 500 per cent. ol the present
scale, which terminates the last of this
month. The reduction will amount to a
one-half decrease in the advance secured
by the miners at the joint conference in
1908. 1t will mean a reduction of cents
per ton on screen mining and cents per
ton run-of-mine. The contract will be
for two years. terminating April l, 1906.

Bay.
MANY OTHERS ESCAPE

While stealing coal in the yards of tire
Lake Erie & Western Railroad Company
near Twenty-first street yesterday evening.
John Durett and Peter Edwards were ar
rested by Patrolman De Rosette
About twenty-five men were busily en-
gagged in taking coal from one of the
cars standing on the tracks when the of
ficer arrived. He captured the two named
above and the others started to take his
prisoners away from him. Drawing his
revolver, the patrolman walked through
the crowd. daring them to take his prison
ers
The railroad company has been bothered
with coal thieves all winter, and special
instructions were issued by the superin-
tendent of police TO the patromen whose
beats are in the neighborhood of the rail-
road yards TO watch for the thieves. Dur
ing the cold weather the police were in
clined 10 be lenient, since the families of
many men arrested for stealing coal were
in actual want. Durett offered the patrol
man 81 if he would release him.

COUNTY COUNCIL SOON
TO CONSIDER BRIDGES
1t Is Believed a Compromise VIII
Be Reached on Size of the
Appropriation.
UNIFORMITY is URGED
Various Interests at Work IN Be
half of the Necessary New
Structures.

City officials and others who have directly
interested themselves in the movement for
adequate new bridges for Indianapolis, pro-
TESS to see hope in situation which was
made almost hopeless by the recent action
of the County Council in refusing TO vote
for the issue of bridge bonds.
The impetus given 10 the movement for
new bridges by the meeting of directors of
the Commercial Club and invited guests,
including members of the County Council.
on last Friday night. was considerable, and
the representations made at that meeting
probably did great deal toward making
some members of the County Council real
ize the insistence of the demands for new
bridges and the pressing need OF such
structures.
Largely as a result of this changed feel
ing, the Journal was informed on good
authority yesterday. it is probable that an
other special meeting of the County Council
will be called in a few days to again con-
of bonds to provide funds for building need
ed bridges, notably at Morris street, River
avenue. West Michigan street and Emer-
ichsville, across White river, and at Della
ware street across Fall creek.
1t is understood that both the Democratic
and Republican members OF the county
Council will be willing to make some con-
ceSSions to the amount OF money 10 be
voted, with the result that between S6OO,OCO
and 100000 will be decided upon. The Re
publicans have stood for an appropriation
of $4,000 for all stone bridges. while the
Democrats farthest concession to this de-
mand was to suggest an appropriation or
5000, 900 for one stone bridge and four con-
crete or steel girder bridges.
Under the appropriation that may be made
the County Commissioners probably will be
able to build bridges of either concrete or
steel-girder construction. The commission
ers have stood for stone bridges through
out, but it is understood that believing half
a loaf is better than no bread" they would
accept either concrete or steel-girder con-
struction as a final substitute.
A meeting of Commercial Club directors
will be held at noon to-day 10 consider the
recommends tons made in the resolutions
adopted a last Friday nights meeting for
a movement for a uniform system of bridge
construction

were anxious to leave the service of the
company. Superintendent Casey, il had
been declared, did not intend to pay off his

and forced him. by threats and a hostile
demonstration. TO give them time orders.
Thomas Atridge, who told his story TO
the police last night, said he had waited
ten days for his money. He had worked
there but two weeks.
Constant complaints concerning the Shut
Company's camps are a source of concern
for State Labor Commissioner Mccormack.

Superintendent Casey yesterday and eX-
pressed regret that IL had occurred. This
is the first complaint of which | have heard

Life in the Explosion That
Follows.

While attempting to build fire in the
kitchen stove with the aid of kerosene yes
terday morning, Pauline Shields. living at

not fatal.

stove preparatory to cooking dinner. She
poured about one quart of kerosene on the
coal in the stove and touched a lighted

smothering the blaze. The burns are not
