MINERS AND OPERATORS
FIND THEY CAN'T AGREE
Miners Want the Present Wage Scale, While ope-
rators Declare for a Reduction.

The possibility of a final disagree
ment and suspension of work is topic
of conversation among the miners and
operators tonight. Leaders on both
sides refuse to go into a discussion of
the general effect of a possible sus-
pension of operations on April /.
suspension of operations in the
four states. Ohio, Pennsylvania, In
diana and Illinois, would affect III, 900
men. The operators demand a reduce
ton and assert that they have to meet
West Virginia competition. They say
that the Pocahontas Coal Company
and other concerns have reduced
wages in the last month and they in
sist that they must have a lower min
ing rate with which to meet this COM
petition.
The grounds upon which the miners
take their stand is that the compe-
tition of the operators in the central
competitive field and those outside Is
not as keen as the operators would
have them believe. The miners say
that at least in Ohio and Pennsylva-
mia. their men have not steady work
and that all over the central competi-
tive field the cost of living is such at
this time that they cannot accept a
cut in wages and maintain a fair
standard of living.

two fatally hurt and twenty-five IN
iured. is the casualty list in the wreck
of the Inter-Colonial Express train, the
five cars of which left the rails at Hun
ter's crossing, forty miles west of this
city, to-day, and plunged down thir-

The train was travelling forty miles
an hour. AS the curve at Hunters
crossing was reached, Engineer Ross
felt a Jolt and looking back saw the
baggage car swerve from the rails, fol-
lowed by the coaches and the mail car.
The five cars went over the embank-
ment and rolled down into the river
which skirts the roAdbed at this point.
The Pullman trrned over twice. One
of the coaches struck tree and was
ripped open from end to end. The
other cars landed bottom up in the
water, which fortunately was less
than two feet deep.
Mrs. CLASSY was hurled across one
of the day coaches and instantly
killed, her skull being crushed.
Conductor Duncan, who was in the
baggage car, was buried under a pile
Of trunks. His head was crushed, his
leg broken and his body cut and
bruised

beneath the wreckage and only re-
leased with the aid of jack screws, an
hour after the accident.
OF the others who are seriously
injured, many had broken limbs, but
it is believed that not but the two
mentioned will die.

Indianapolis, Ind. Feb. S.-The oper-
ators and miners were called to meet
in joint conference to-day that the
Joint Scale Committee might report
it's progress and ask for additional in
structions.
After the reading of the Scale Com
mittee's report f. L. Robbins, the
leader of the operators. moved an adj
journment and the appointment of a
committee composed of one operator
and one miner from each state to fix
the date for the next meeting of the
joint conference. This committee will
meet in Indianapolis on Feb. Is to ar
range for another meeting of the joint
conference.
There was great excitement among
the delegates when 1t was seen that
the moment for a declaration of a
disagreement had arrived. The Joint
Scale Committee had reported the pres
ent wage scale as their ultimatum, and
the operators insisted that nothing but
the 1902 scale, which is equivalent to
a - per cent. reduction in wages, 1t
is claimed, would satisfy them.

ONLY HOME RULE CAN
SATISFY THE IRISH PARTY
SO John Redmond Declares in the British House
of Commons

tain would be used for the furtherance
of the contest for home rule.
Mr.. Redmond, who was supported
by full representation on the Irish
benches, received an ovation from his
followers at the close of his forceful,
outspoken criticism.
Mr.. Wyndham, chief secretary for
Ireland, in reply, announced the gov
ernment's intention to introduce an
act amending the Irish land act
and clearing all the doubtful
points. The chief secretary denied
that he had ever proposed Irish legis-
lation with the view of giving home
rule to Ireland, or as a concession for
the purpose Of changing the views of
the nationalist. He also denied that
he had any understanding with the
Irish party for any purpose.
Mr.. Wyndham did not believe the
Irish question would be settled for at
least fifty years. Even if Ireland had
her own Parliament she could not in
the present state of the money market
find $3.50 100000 for the purpose of car
rying out the provisions of the land

PEOPLE STORMBOUND

Detroit, Mich, Feb. g. Investigation

of Michigan, that part of the state
north of Port Huron to Saginaw bay,
comprising three counties, made over
the long distance telephone by the
News to-day, shows that there are
Upwards of 100000 people stormbound
in the villages, towns and hamlets of
the district. All the towns north from
Port Huron to Port Austin and Har-
Dor Beach, except Bad Axe, a junction
point, report alarming shortage of
coal, with little or no wood supply
available.
Fortunately there is no lack of pro-
visions reported in any of the towns,
but suffering for want of fuel is in
evitable in many places unless the
Pere Marquette succeeds in opening
its line in a few days.

London, Feb. S.-"For the Irish
party there is no such thing as an al
tentative policy to home rule" de-
clared John Redmond, the leader of
the Irish parliamentary party, in the
House of Commons to-day as he re-
sumed the debate on the address in
reply to the speech from the throne.
Mr.. Redmond proceeded, in a speech
of great length, to detail the various
grievances of Ireland, incidentally in
forming the Liberals that it was a de-
fusion to suppose they could count on
Irish support by promising an alter
native policy to home rule. Because
the Irish obtained a valuable act last
year, remedying some of the evils of
past government, some persons SEEM
ed to think that the Irish question
was shelved, but no concession would
weaken the demand for self govern
ment. On the contrary, every conces-
sion they had obtained or might OBJ

fact that the price. which has long

ROMANCE OF HEARTS.
Custom of Their Separate Burial Is
Not Uncommon.

Not Uncommon.
From Tit Bits.
The separate burial of hearts is not
such singular occurrence as many
readers may be apt to suppose. His
tory supplies us with numerous in
stances.
When Richard the Lion-hearted was
mortally wounded in the attack on
the Castle of Chaluz he expressed a
wish that his body should be buried
at the feet of his father at Fontevraud,
in token of his sorrow for the trou-
ole and anxiety which he had formerly
caused him. But he bequeathed his
heart to the inhabitants of Rouen as
an acknowledgment of the faithfulness
of his Norman subjects. The some
what singular gift was gratefully ac-
cepted, and was honored with beau
tiful shrine in the cathedral. This was
destroyed in 1888, but about a CEN
fury later the heart of the famous
Crusader was found inclosed in
leaden casket under the pavement of
the cathedral. 1t was replaced, but
some time later was again taken UP
and deposited in the Museum Of An
Equities, from which it was in turn
removed to a more appropriate resting
place in the choir of the cathedral,
where it now remains.
On the death of John Balioi, father
of that Ballot who opposed Bruce's
claim to the throne of Scotland, his
widow ordered his heart to be remov-
ed and placed in an ivory casket. AL
though she survived her husband twen-
ty years, it is said that she never sat
down to a meal without having the
casket beside her. In accordance with
her dying request the heart was placed
L. a., ts.fa
ment 10 her own abbey, which was
situated on the banks Of the NTH.
When the great Napoleon died in st.
Helena his heart was removed in order
that it might be placed in a separate
case. The doctor who removed 1t set IT
under a glass case in his bedroom. Dur
ing the night he was startled by the
sound of breaking glass, and he just
managed to prevent a large rat from
carrying off the heart to its hole. The
heart was Immediately placed in an
urn and secured in the coffin beside the
body.
There would appear to be some doubt
as to what became of Byron's heart
after his death. According to one ac-
count it was lost in a marsh in Greece
under the following circumstances: As
is well known, the poet took a deep in
terest in the efforts which the Greeks
were then making to secure their free
dom. His services were highly appre-
ciated by these people, ana when he
died, his relatives, who had resolved to
convey his body to England for burial,
were requested to leave his heart in
Greece.
The wish was complied with, and the
precious relic was placed in silver
casket Mesolonghi was besieged, and
when the Greeks saw the impossibility
of warding off the attack a small party
ri 10 coll xy
the heart with them. They We're sue
cessful in cutting their way through
the Turkish army, but We're soon COM
PEELED to conceal themselves in a marsh,
where the heart, which they had tried
so hard to save, was lost.
