A handsome residence belonging
to Banker Fred Jewell was Destroyed
last night by flames, of incendiary
origin. In addition to the starting
of IS fires, the firebug has turned in
so many false alarms that the de-

believes the man is a fanatic who
desires to do christians an injury.

that three churches were also fired

further that it was almost certain
that there would be no trouble In

In Illinois 900 mines are closed
and $4,000 miners have quit work. A
conference between operators and
miners of Illinois has been called for
next Monday, and is to be held in Chi
cago. The Illinois operators say that
the men demand an increase of 10
cents a. ton, which means an annual
increase of wage disbursements by
the operators of $14,O00,000. They
declare that if they pay this sum it
will necessitate four-months' shut
down Of the mines.
Only two months supply of coal
is on hand, and the operators predict
great, coal famine, which will boost
prices Of coal to the limit. In Indi-
ana $4,000 miners were ordered to
quit at midnight last night. Already
a sixth iof the number have returned
to work under new and satisfactory
agreements. The miners of this state
declare that the strike will be short

In Pennsylvania approximately
1000 men were affected by the strike
order. The operators have submit
ted a temporary wage scale, allowing
five-cent increase on every mined
ton of coal.
In Iowa, every mine is closed pend
ing the settlement of the wage dis

but it is probable that the operators
of Iowa mines will concede the same
terms as those granted by the opera
tors in other states, and that the min

later by deputies from the Office Of

creek bed near the outskirts of High

From a deputy who returned to
the asylum shortly before noon it was
learned that Torres pursuers believe
him to be armed. 1t was stated that
as he was leaving the asylum, after
attacking Mrs. Waite and taking her
horse, he turned in the saddle and
brandished revolver in his upraised
hand. Later shots were heard in the
direction he was supposed to have
taken when he left the creek bed.
Torres was considered one of che
most dangerous of the 500 patients
at Highlands asylum. Orders were
issued that he be captured, even il
