ACRISIS N THE STRIKE
' Some Startling: Developments Expect-
ed Within a Day or Two.
UN EASY FEELING GENERAL.
Organizers to Make a Determined Effort
on the West Virginia} lIIines — The
Leaders Are Confident That They
\Vill Soon Be Closed.
Cleveland, July 14.-—Within 48 hours
developments of a very definite charac-
ter are expected to take place in the
West Virginia coalfields. A leading op-
erator received a long distance tele-
phone message today stating that nine
organizers had just left Pittsburg for
the West Virginia coalfields. A person
who occupies a high official position in
the Mine Workers’ union was at the
Pittsburg end of the telephone.
“You may look for something star-
tling in that direction within the next
48 hours,” he said. “Reliable advices
which I have received convince me that
the West Virginia miners will come out.
All they wait for is a little urging from
the union. I am free to confess to you
that, while I expected many men Would
come out, I never hoped for such a.
complete and overwhelming victory as
this.”
The foregoing message was repeated
to a reporter who was standing at hand
by the operator who received it.
When the point is reached that the
coal mine operators refuse to “talk for
publication” the situation is grave in—
deed. The operators now urge upon
their interviewers that under no cir-
cumstances must their names he used
in connection with the information they
have supplied. A leading operator
made a plain statement, a. startling
statement, in fact, today, but insisted
that his name must not be‘ used.
The Situation Serious.
Since Saturday the coal strike has
assumed a very grave aspect, but a full
realization of the change did not reach
Cleveland operators and dealers until
today. Excepting a few operators who
had some inside information, they were
disposed to Speak lightly of the matter
and loudly declared that there was coal
on hand—more than enough to supply
the country, regardless of the outcome
of the strike. Today al this seeming
or pretended confidence ad disappear-
ed. Several operators went to Pitts-
burg yesterday to attend the voluntary
conference of the state arbitrators. One
of those whose knowledge of the prem-
ises is above question said today:
“The situation is very grave, and I
anticipate some very startling develop—
ments within the next 48 hours. I be—
lkve the West Virginia miners will
come out, and that will make the tie up
practically complete, for the strikers
will then concentrate all their efforts
on the DeArmitt men. A small amount
of coal is now. coming from the mines
along the Pennsylvania main line and
from the coke regions, but it is in com—
paratively insignmcant quantities. I
think it will be shut off entirely very
soon. From what I could learn at
Pittsburg, I do not hesitate to say that,
in my belief, the railroads will hesitate
to haul West Virginia and DeArmitt’s
mines’ coal. The engineers and train-
men are regarding the situation with
lowering brows, P. M. Arthur’s state-
ment to the contrary notwithsta ding.
“The supply of coal on hand very
short, and I look fer another sharp ad—
vance in prices shortly. Saturday coal
which was loaded at Pittsburg for $1.25
to $1.50, free on board, is now held at
$1.75. Delivered at Cleveland the price
is $2.65! Chicago is buying freely and
paying high prices. I.d.o not think the
supply will hold out more than a. week
longer.”
At the Schicks Mines.
Bellaire, 0., July 14.—The miners at
the Schicks mines were called upon by
.a. committee of two from each of the
mines along the Baltimore and Ohio,
2210 asked them to quit work. They
ve the committee no satisfaction be-
yond an indication that they were re-
ceiving better' pay than the others
were striking for. This word was pass-
ed along the line, and the miners- called
another mass meeting.
. “Public Bequests.
Cambridge, Mass, July 14.-—The Pros-
pect Union, Cambi‘idgeport, came into
possession of a gift of $20,000, to carry
on its work, by the will of Mrs. Randall,
who died about a year ago, leaving $300,-
000 to be devoted to philanthropic and
educational work. -Besides the gift to
the union, $20,000 has also been given
to Radcliff college and $70,000 to the
Foxcroft club of Harvard university for
the erection of a suitable club building.
Chicago .__to Tax Bicycles.
Chicago, July 14.—-Every bicycle in
Chicago will have to pay a yearly tax of
$1 if Mayor Harrison signs the ordinance
which the council passed. Vehicles of
every description are taXed from $2 to
$12 per annum. In the city there are es—
timated to be 300,000 bicycles and suffi-
cient vehicles to make the revenue de-
rived from the ordinance $1,000,000 per
,annum. .

Mrs. Hay’s Narrow Escape.
London, July 14.——Mrs. Hay, the wife
of the United States embassador, had a
narrow escape from serious accident to-
day. While driving with Colonel Hay,
the pole of an omnibus penetrated the
panel of the carriage at the point where
Mrs. Hay's head had rested only a mo-
ment before.

many Norwalk People Give
Ekpression to itand with
Good Reason.
The remarkable cures accomplished
in Norwalk during the last seven
months are something to astonish and
convince the mostlskeptical. No won-
der the people believe in it;'no wonder
a prominent druggist lately said: ‘Be-
lief in California Catarrh Cure is an
article of faith in the Norwalks, be-
cause people know for themselves,with-
out regard to what any interested
parties say, of cures it has wrought
among their friends and neighbors. ”
Why 1 People have suffered for years,
and never dreamed they could get any
relief by using anything and some day
a friend says: “California Catarrh
Cure cured me, it will cure you, and
you won’t have to wait to find out about
it either. It relieves at once. ”
Here are the words of one of your
neighbors now, telling why she be-
lieves in it. You know that it is true
because you know her.
Mrs. John Lycett, 21 High street,
N orwalk, says: “My daughter, Violet,
has been troubled since childhood with
catarrh, until her whole head seemed
more or less diseased. She had be-
gun to be a little deaf, and suffered
much with severe headaches so that
we have had to keep her out of
school a good deal. I sent
her to Plaisted’s drug store, South Nor-
walk after a bottle of California Catarrh
Cure and she commenced using it. Its
beneficial effects ave been simply
wonderful. It has helped her from the
first in every way. I have not heard
her complain of a headache for a long
time, and by the time she has finished
her first bottle, I feel confident that
she will be cured. ”
Hay fever is entirely prevented by
the use of this wonderlul medicine,
and when it is used colds never “hang
on, ” but disappear promptly. For all
mucous diseases. All dealers, 50 cents,
' three times. as much, one dollar.
There is only one thing that will
make you more nervous than watching
a caterpillar on some one else and that
is to have one on yourself.

Ll'i TLE ONE WOULD BE SAVED.
Bridgeport, May 3d, ’96—Dr. Hand
—Dear Sir—“I have used Dr. Hand’s
Teething Lotion and found it all it is
represented. I have had no trouble at
all with baby during his teething; it
has helped him so much, he teases to

would use it they would save the little
ones a great deal of suffering. Yours
respectfully, Mrs. Harry Browne, 614

BIG FIRM IN TRGZJ'BLB.
Decker, Howell .3; Co. of New York Force
. to Make an Assignment. -
New York, July 14.-—_Jc:—:eph S. Decker
and \Villiam A. Vl’illiams, who compose
the firm of Decker, Howell & 00., bro-
kers at 44 Broadway, l.;d:i:-,' assigned to
Al:.:l:,:1 I‘.‘_Z.-., " ‘..'i:':.:ut prefer-
ences.
The anncuncement was made soon
affc-r 1}: opening of the New York Stock
Exchange and almost. created a panic.
The firm is one of the largest doing
business in the street and has conduct-
ed a purely brokerage business. The
losses will fall on those who have had
speculative accounts with the firm.
Deckra Howell 8: Co.’s was a peculiar-
ly a New York city firm. It had a large
clientele. According to Assignee Fisher
the firm had no creditors outside of New
York city. It leased no private wires
and had no agents or correspondents in
other cities. Mr. Fisher added that he
believed that the liabilities would prove
to be small.
Mr. Fisher, When asked what was the
cause of the'failure, “said that the firm
had been on the wrong side of themar-
ket. He would not say so in as many
words, but Would not deny that the firm
had been heavily short of sugar, which
has been booming the past few days.
There was consternation in the sugar
pit when the failure was announced.
Opening at 134, after closing at 135%,
last evening, it declined to 133% on sales
of 2,500 shares. So great was the ex-
citemcnt that sales were made at the
same time 1,4,» to 1%; per cent away. Then
it took on _a full head of steam and sail-
ed up to 13714 in a‘few moments.
The firm of Decker, Howell & Co. had
an enviable record. Both the partners,
Mr. Decker and Mr. Williams, were re—
puted to be multimillionaires. Mr. How~
ell died some time ago. Mr. Decker was
the Stock Exchange member of the firm.
The firm was founded in 1870 under
the name and style of Leonard", Shel-
don & Foster. With unlimited capital
and opportunities for speculation of the
successful sort that had not been dream-
ed of before by the outside public, the
firm soon had a‘large following. In 1831
the firm became known as Decker, How—
ell & Co.
The firm did a large and profitable
business until 1890, when they Wg‘re
compelled to make an assignment.
Then Wall street was startled by the
announcement that the liabilities of the
firm would aggregate $12,000,000. This
vast sum was paid in 60 days, as the
firm had promised at the time of the
suspension, and business was resumed.
The “street” after this had the greatest
confidence in the recuperative powers
of the concern, and there were few ac-
counts withdrawn on account of the
failure at that time.

What a Miner’s Pick Revealed In a 11min-
tain Near Cripple Creek.
Cripple Creek, 0010., July 14.—A pho-
tographer namedlYelton has returned
from a trip to Cow mountain, about six
miles east of this city, where he went
to obtain views of a remarkable cavern,
discovered by persons who were sinking
a. prospective shaft on a group of claims
on the mountain. A man’s pick sudden-
ly went through the rock into what
proved to be a great cavern. Rocks
dropped into the hole struck the bottom
in about two seconds. The men got a
rope and, fastening it securely above,
descended to explore the cavern, which
proved to be a storehouse of ice. Sta-
lagmites and stalactites of ice stood like
cypress trees from the floor or hung in
great fringes from the ceiling. Explora-
tion was not carried far, as the yawn—
ing abyss was encountered at‘a distance
of about 50, feet from the entrance.
Pieces of ice thrown. down could be
heard rattling on the sides, but there
Photographs were taken by flashlight.
An effort will be made to open the cave
to a. more thorough exploration.
