Price of Coal Advanced“.
Wheeling, July 17.—The advantages
now are all on the strikers’ side. None
of the miners has returned to work.
The idle mines are’comparatively small,
aggregating 400 men, while strikes are
more on account of local disaffection
than sympathy for the movement, but
the strikers are aiding the agitators
greatly. Fairmont is problematical.
Kanawha leans toward a strike, and
Norfolk and Western is sympathetic.
The operators will endeavor to keep all
hands working on Sunday and out of
reach of the organizers. Eastern Ohio
is quiet.
Sonthern’ West Virginia.
Huntington, W. Va., July 17.—There
is a decided change in the coalflelds of
southern West Virginia. It is now
stated for an absolute certainty that
inside of 48 hours a majority of all the
miners on the Norfolk and Western and
Chesapeake and Ohio railways will join
the strikers.
In the Williamston Field.
Williamston, W. Va., July 17.—Miners
in this field are still working, but show
signs of agitation. Eight or ten organ—
izers are working with them, and des-
perate efforts are making to have them
come out.
Points to Strike Extension.
Cincinnati, July 17.—After the meet-
ing here of the West Virginia operators,
at which the price for mining coal was
increased in order to prevent the men
from joining the general strike, The
Enquirer sent telegrams to all mining
points in that state to ascertain what
would be done. The replies received
indicate that the West Virginia miners
will come out after this week. The
miners at Flemington and Aurora were
out yesterday. Eugene-V. Debs and
President Ratchford will speak at
Ealrmont tomorrow. The men from 18
mines will then form a procession, and
they are expected to vote to strike. Na-
tional Executive Committeeman Fred
Dilcher addressed meetings at Mont—
.gomery yesterday and Crown Hill last
night, and the miners at the following
mines decided not to go to work today:
Coalburg, East Bank, Black Cat, Bel-
mont, Riverside, Chesapeake and Big
Mountain. The Chesapeake and other
mines had alreadygranted the advance
asked for by the miners. .

_ Peoria District Joins.
I Peoria, 1115., July 17.—The .miners of
the Peoria district have voted unani-
mously to join the strike. Vice Presi-
dent 1Hunter of the United, Mine Work-
ers addressed a mass meeting held at
Bartonville, and after reports from the
various mines had been heard a gen—
eral suspension was ordered: The men
refused to strike last week on the
- ground that the southern Illinois mines
were still running and their suspension
had much to do with the decision. In
consequence several factories will be
forced to shut down, throwing out of
employment 1,000 men.

Declined Increased Wages.
Springfield, Ills, July 17. —The miners
in the Pane. district have been offered
increased wages by the operators, ‘but-
they have declined and will not return
to work. The families of many of the
miners are destitute, and the strikers
have organized a commissary depart-
ment and are soliciting provisionsof
business men and farmers. More than
100 families are being given rations
daily. There are 2,800 miners idle in the
Pana district. In Macoupin county the
Girard mine is the only one "now in op-
eration. The miners at the two mines
at Taylorville, 150 in number, have gone
on strike. At Decatur 250 miners are
still at work and will probably continue
30.?
Coal Advanced In Cleveland.
Cleveland, July 17.—An advance of 45
cents on all coal from the WestVirglnia
fields coming into Cleveland was made
today. The increase was forced by the
Baltimore and Ohio, which raised its
freight rates on W’est Virginia coal 45
cents, making the rate to Cleveland
$1.50 instead of $1.05. It was reported
yesterday that such an advance had
been made, but the valley people, other-
wise the Baltimore and Ohio, denied it
at that lime. It affects all roads to
which the Baltimore and Ohio transfers
' West Virginia coal. Except for the fore-
going the coal situation presents no
new phases.
Fears For the Beacon Dam.
Matteawan, N. Y., July 17.—The Mat-
teawan board of trustees proposes to
hold a meeting immediately and appoint
a committee, with a civil engineer, to
inspect the dam at Beacon reservoir,
which threatens to burst at any minute.
District Attorney Wood. with Coroner
Bevie' visited the Melzingah reservoir
today with a View to indictlng the water
company for criminal neglect.
Hanna Supreme In His County.
Cleveland, July 17.—Senator Hanna is
now supreme in the political manage-
ment of Cuyahoga county. The old Mc-
Kisson committee. of 50 gave way to the
new Republican county committee, with
Sylvester T. Everett as chairman. The
light has been a long and bitter one be”-
tween the factions in this county and
has only been won by Mr. Hanna after
repeated defeats.
No Separation For Earl Russell.
London, July 17. —The house of lords
today, by a majority of 5 to 4, dismissed
the appeal of Earl Russell for a judicial
separation from his wife, the daughter
of Lady Selina‘Scott, who has just fin-
iShed a term of eight months’ imprison-
' ment for criminally libeling the earl.
, Shot by Hls .Tenants.
.Knoxville, ~July 17.—W. L. Ledford, a
wealthy citizen of Charleston,,Ten'n.,
was shot and fatally wounded in an
affray between himself and -Walter and
Leather Wolf, two of his tenants. Led-
ford was shot five times.
the Wolfs was injured, and no arrests
have been made.

for years, and have taken so much
medicine and been under the care of
physicians so often that I ought to be

to be 11d of my t1 ouble 1°01 a time, but
it- showed signs of 1etu1ning and I
wanted to check it. I noticed some

POWERFUL LIGHT FOR BARNEGAT.
The French Lens “Which Throws Eleceric
{ays 100 Miles Seaward to be Used.
Bax-negut lighthouse, on the extreme
eastern coast of the Jersey shore, will
soon flash the most powerful light dis-
played anywhere on the American
coast, and at once places this station
among the leading in the lighthouse
service of the world. Mariners have
always regarded it as the most impuri-
tnnt point to be well lighted south 123'
Fire Island, as the majority of tho
commerce bound up and down the
coast invariably pick up the light go-
ing either way. It is now one of the
firm-class lights of the country, and
shows a white light that can be seen
twenty-two miles out at sea in ordi-
nary weather. The lighthouse service
has now determined to remove this
light and substitute the most powerful
lens ever constructed, and designed to
gather up the electric rays and throw
them seaward a distance of at least
one hundred miles. These rays will
strike the horizon at the same point
where those of the oil lamp meet now,
and, here they will reflect on the skies,
and ships one hundred miles at sea
passing the point should easily make
out the flashes and estimate accurately
their exact distance from the shore.
This new lens has been the property
of the lighthouse service since the
World’s Fair, when it was displayed
by the French Government as part of
its exhibit. At the end of the Fair the
United States purchased it for $10,000,
and has since been arranging for its
use in one of the first-class lighthouses
on the Atlantic coast. Two years ago
the board directed that it be placed in
the Fire Island lighthouse, as this sta
tion was then regarded the most valua-
ble to commerce on the coast. An elec-
tric plant was established, but later
there came a demand for a light ves-
sel six miles south of the light, and
this having been placed in position, the
board has decided that the big French
lens should go to Barnega’t, where it is
to be placed early this summer. The
new light vessel building for Fire
Island is to be fitted also with power-
ful electric lights, and eventually all
the first-class light stations, like the
Highlands light and those at the Capes
of Virginia and off Hatteras, will have
electricity substituted for’oil as an il-
luminant. The electric light is ten
times as powerful, and being reflected
on the skies from the point where it
meets the water, should be easily dis-
cernible treble the distance the oil
lights show. The lighthouse officers
tell of the ease with which the Nee-
dies lights are seen flashing in the Bay
of Biscay over 100 miles away, and
predict that within a Year Barnegat
, and other important stations will dis-
play the most powerful lights in any
lighthouses of the world.
