AIT Some Mines While Other
Mines Are Doing But
Little Work.
MARKET VERY DULL
No Mine in Regions Runs
More Than Two and Half
Days a Week.

Coal miners in this region are
striking as the result Of a notice OF
2 reduction of pay Of two and three
cents on the mine car.
AT the High Grade Coal icompany's
mine near IMcwhorter there are be-
tween twenty-five and thirty men
out and at the Vincent Coal Com
pany's plant near the Union
baseball park east Of the city about
forty men are out.
The Falrmont and Baltimore
company's mine at Adamston is
temporarily shut down, owing to
lack OF orders.
There is also much idleness at the
mines OF the Consolidation Coal
Company in the Clarksburg and
Fairmont regions. Some of these
mines are running only one and a
half days week. while none is
running more than two and a half
days a week.
There is no demand for coal FOR
various reasons, one Of which is
given that as there has never been
a domestic market for coal from
this section but only demand for
steam and gas coal, the time of year
Is at hand, when the years supply
Is being cleaned up preparatory tt
making new yearly contracts.
The dnllness in mining circles is
likely to continue until the middle
of March at least. Pay rolls Sas a
result will be light.

GEN. GEO. w. GORDON
DIES IN MEMPHIS

Memphis, Tenn, Aug. 9.--George w.
Gordon, soldier, lawyer and statesman,
is dead. Worn by an illness dating
from his last political campaign, when
he was reelected to the National house
of representatives, the last general of
the confederacy to serve in that body
answered the summons TO join the
invisible majority here today. Funeral
arrangements have not beenannounced,
but the obsequies will be, it is expect
ed, Of a military character, and the
body will be laid TO rest in this city,
probably Sunday. Weakened by the
heat of the past twenty-four hours and
his feeble frame wasted by the ravages
of slow illness, the light of General
Gordon's life grew DINNER hourly
today. When, following restless
night, he woke from titful sleep in the
early morning hours, the loving
watchers at his side saw that the end
was but question of hours, perhaps
minutes. AS the end approached,
peace seemed to envelop his face, for
he smiled as with comforting words he
babe relatives adieu. He died at fonr
o'clock this afternoon. AT the beside
of Gen. Gordon when he died were his
wife and other relatives.

TWEEN TY-FIVE DAYS

Bristol, Tenn, Aug. ST. will die
in twenty-five days" was the startling
declaration today of John Vesti, a sol
der of the confederacy, residing at
Meadow View, in Washington county,
Va. This declaration was made follow
ing the digging of his grave several
days ago. He has had the opening
lined with cement, and his request is
that he be buried without coffin the
bare grave being TO his liking. The
grave was made beside that of Vesti's
first wife, and is within plain view of
tho Norfolk q Western Railway,
betw Meadow View and Emory, Va.
Vesti takes the view that fate has
decreed his death, and according TO his
premonition, he is to die on the Sd day
of September, although heis apparently
in his usual health. He is 68 years of
age.
