yesterday and failing to reach a YER

ONE GRANTS SCALE
Both Sides Seem Pleased
With Strike Situation.

Madisonville, KY, Jan. 2.-Despite
the call for a strike all of the coal
mines at this place are working and
this includes Reinecke, Victoria and
Royal. The mines at Nortonville
have closed down and also CARBON
dale and Oak Hill. The operators
claim that the call will have no eff
feet whatever, while the United
Mine Workers say they have been so
busy receiving men into the union
that they have not had time to look
over the territory to know what eff
feet the call has had. Both sides
seem to be pleased with the situation.
Guards are stationed at all the mines
at night.
When the miners came out at'Dan-
lei Boone they were told to go back
to work by Mr.. Andrew Hogg, the
manager. He said he would meet
the scale at once.
Reinecke mines have out about
seventy-fve men according to the
union, while the operators claim
there are none out. Men who have
worked there and have come out say
there are at least seventy-five who
have come out and many will take
the obligation today.

SEEKS TO HOLD ON.
Adjt. Gen. P. P. Johnston to
Continue at Head Of
State Guard.

Frankfort, KY, Jan. 9.-The
resignation of Henry B. Hines as
State Inspector and Examiner, which
was demanded several days ago by
Gov. Wilson in order that the APP
pointment of M. H. Thacker as his
successor could be sent to the Senate
for confirmation next week, has not
been handed in, and it is said by close
friends of Judge Hines that he will
fight to retain the Office until the
expiration of his term.
A contention has arisen as to when
Judge Hines term of Office expires,
the Republicans claiming that he
goes out of office with the other
Democratic officials, while, on the
other hand, Judge Hines and his
friends claim that he holds on until
March IA. Hines name was sent to
the Senate and entered on the Exc
cutive Journal March ID, 1904, for a
term of four years.
1t is said that Adjt. Gen. P. P.

and said he would also apply the test
that Gideon did When $4,000 of the
timid ones dropped out. He said if
any of the panel were afraid to
serve, they would be allowed to step
aside. None of them accepted this
offer. He also said that no one
should serve on the jury if he were
member Of any association or or
der whose obligation would prevent
his doing his duty without fear or
favor, nor should he serve if he had
such hatred or antipathy for any
character that would prevent him
from honestly, conscientiously and
faithfully doing his duty as grand
juror.
He impressed upon the jurors that
they had declared themselves to be
men and Kentuckians ready and
willing to perform their whole duty.
They had sworn to indict for all
crimes, in the presence of God and
many witnesses. He stated that
their acts would be watched by the
whole country and their deeds would
be recorded in the hearts and minds
of the people and also in the book of
deeds on high. The responsibility
could not be evaded and no right
thinking man can do other than his
duty, Concluding he said:
81 feel that the citizens of this
city. by some persons unknown to
me, have been outraged and deserve
at the hands of the court and grand
jury redress. And through you,
gentlemen, this fredress must come,
if come it does. Only through the
channel of the grand jury and
through indictment can any prose-
cution be put on foot. No matter
what the outrage may have been, no
matter who has been wronged, re-
dress can only come to the citizens or
Hopkinsyille through the channels
of this or some subsequent jury. So,
gentlemen, the matter is with you as
citizens Of Christian county; YOU
must bear the blame if you fail to
do your duty, or the praise for hav-
ing fully discharged your duty"

the same line as those on Princeton

A body of men estimated from SO
to 100 entered the city from the
Nashville road and after putting
both telephone Offices under guard
proceeded to destroy the two indie
pendent tobacco factories of the
town.
The Luckett-Wake factory on
Main street was burned and several
other houses in its vicinity also went
up in flames.
The American Snuff Co.'S brick
factory on Bank street, Of which Mr..
Pitts was manager, fine building
covering a whole square, was also
destroyed. The report is that dyna-
mite was used to demoish the
masonry.

This report is from the 1Jashville
American:
The night riders, masked and arm
ed, were first noticed on Main street,
marching toward the Wake & Co.
warehouse, which was fired and dy-
namited. The party then started
for the American Snuff factory in
the east part of town. 1t suffered a
similar fate.
A number of shots were fired; as
citizens raised their windows and
looked out, aroused by the explo-
'sions, they were met by gruff COM
mands to stay inside and shots in the
air.
So far as known there was no one
injured, and the night riders had
done their work and departed almost
before the greater part of the citi-
zens realized what was going on.
There were about fifty night ri
ders in the party. and their coming
was altogether unberalded. Russell |
