Miners Uniform Wage Plan il

AssOciated Press to The Evening" Tfnsa.
New York, March 21.-The demands
OF the anthracite mine workers for re-
adjustment of wages and conditions
in the anthracite fields would, II grant
ed by the operators, mean veritable
revolution in mining conditions, &C
cording to statement issued by the
operators committee of seven today.
The statement declared it to be mis-
take to assume that an eight hour day
and 10 per cent wage increase repre-
sents the sum total Of the demands OF
the miners.
THE new and uniform SCALE" saye
the statement, would place every man
on the same basis, increasing the
wages of some men as much as $50
per cent. The average increase, un-
der the uniform scale, would be near
ly 80 per cent for outside men. Tho
proposed schedule would mean a verb
table revolution in mining conditions.
For years." the statement contin-
ued, operator and employe have rec
ognized the different value of labor in
different localities and even in differ
ent sections of the same colliery. Yet
now the miners committee demand
equal pay for engineers who run a lit
tie ten horse power engine and the
man who has a giant engine in his
charge. They allow no more for men
working under difficulties and dangers
than for the same class of workers at
posts OF ease and simplicity"

SPENT LIFE IN BED.
Eccentric Professor Who Recently
Died From Hemmorhage.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Stockholm, March 21.-Professor
Oedmann, whose recent death has re-
ceived notice from King Oscar and
others, was theologian of consider
able note and at the same time an
eccentric of most peculiar type.
After an illness which compelled him
once to keep to his bed for a time, he
conceived a liking for lying abed, and
did all his work and took his. meals
snugly ensconced in the blankets. The
latter part of his life, in fact, was
spent entirely in bed. The professor
had an unreasonable dread of catch
ing cold, and would never allow his
bedroom window to be opened. Writ
ten exercises by students were first
warmed on stove before he would
touch them. His death was caused
by visit from an old farmer who
wished to consult him, and by some
mistake entered the bedroom with
clothes plentifully besprinkled with
snow. Herr Oedmann angrily order
ed him away, but the visitor. who was
deaf, drew nearer to his bedside. This
excited the warmth-loving professor
SO much that he broke a blood-vessel
and died.

ASK CLEMENCY FOR
A yOODOO DOCTOR

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
= Philadelphia, Pa, March 21.-Coun-
sci for George P. Hossey, negro
"voodoo" doctor, sentenced to be hang
ed next week for completely in the
murder of William Danz, have taken
their case before the state board of
pardons and at Harrisburg today will
make a plea to have the sentence of
death commuted to life Imprisonment.
The aged negro is accused of having
sold to Mrs. Catherine Danz "love
powders" with which she made away
with her husband. The woman was
tried and convicted of being a prin-
cipal in the murder. She was SEN
fenced to be hanged, but her sentence
was commuted to life imprisonment.
The lawyers for Hossey argue that he
was only an accomplice and that In
view of the action taken in the wo-
mans case his sentence also should
be commuted.
In Moyamensing prison the aged
"voodoo" doctor, who for years sold
love charms and "philtres" to ig-
norant men and women, has acted
strangely ever since he was first COM
mitted. Only recently he refused to
eat any food for period of eight days,
because screen had been placed in
front Of the grating in the door of his
cell. He is more than 80 years old.

A party of surveyors who refused to
give their identity away and who re-

an Evening Times man, were prowl-

city today in the neighborhood of Riv-

party and the business is largely a

In conference with a prominent real

that the 500 would build into Grand
Forks this summer, coming from Oslo
down the Red river.
The party of surveyors is known to
be the same as one which worked on
the kenmare branch of the 500 last
season and that their present occupa-

AS The Evening Times announced

Indication is that it will come from

Where the terminal yards will be
situated can only be conjectured, but

Special to The Evening Times.
Larimore, March 21.-Some time be-
tween the hours of and 3 a. m. to-
day. robbers entered the Bank nf
Niagara at Niagara, situated thirteen
miles northwest of this city, and sue
ceeded in getting away with cash and
valuable securities to the amount Of
1880. Absolutely no clew to the au-
thors Of the crime are obtainable ut
present.
The robbery is one of the boldest IN
the history of crime in this section.
When Cashier David Kirk entered the
bank at the usual hour this morning,
he found things in a chaotic condition
and every evidence of forceable en-
trance upon the part of some one.
Chairs were overturned, desks ran
sacked. office fixtures thrown about
and everything pointed to hurried
but thorough search of the place by
the robbers. Entrance to the build
Ing had been effected through rear
window. the robbers first securing
tools for the purpose from a Great
Northern tool house near, which was
subsequently found open. and crow
bars, wrenches, etc, missing there
from.
After breaking in the storm window,
the inner. window was broken and the
men crawled into the room. The
bank safe Is strong, steel one, fur
nished with three separate steel doors.
A hole had been bored into the outer
