EVERY ONE SEEMS WILLING The Commissioners Hope That 3 Basis of Agreement Will Be Reached—Mine Employees .to Bring Suit to Recover \Vages Withheld. Pittsburg, July 24.—The arbitration commissioners, who are trying to set- tle the coal strike, have finally obtain- ed the consent of a majority of the op- erators of the Pittsburg district ,to join in a general conference to discuss the “true uniformity” plan. The date for the conference has not been set,_ but it will be fixed for some day within the next week and probably will be on Mon- day or Tuesday. " The greatest difficulty found by the arbitrators in pushing the movement has been the lethargy of the operators. The cause of this is the fact that they look upon arbitration as ineffectual. They have little hope of settling the strike by this means and are, therefore slow to act. In no case, however, has there been direct opposition to arbitra— tion. General Little, president of the board, stated today that the matter was now very near a head. After this meeting has been held, he thinks, there will be but little difficulty in completing ar- rangements for the selection of arbi- trators. He says that the miners have all expressed their approval of the agreement and are ready to do all in their power to bring the question to an early settlement. The agreement, as prepared, is not entirely satisfactory to some of the operators in all its pro- visions. The objectionable clauses will be taken up at the meeting and chang- ed to suit the desires of all concerned. To Recover Strikers’ Wages. The ofl‘icials of the United Mine Workers have arranged to make a con- test in the courts for money, in the hands of certain operators in the Pitts- burg district, kept from the wages of the men who went on strike. In ac— cordance _with instructions received from President M. D. Ratchford of the Mine Workers and the members of the national executive board, the local dis— trict officials have placed the matter in the hands of their attorneys, and suits are to be brought for more than $12,- 000, the amount the trikers havefor- felted. Suits will e brought on the validity of ironclad contracts which the men signed. _ In these contracts it was agreed that as a guarantee of good faith on the part of the employee the employer should retain 10 per cent of' the em- ployee’s wages. When the men struck, this money was declared forfeited and was withheld from them by the op- erators. The plan is to get one of the men who has forfeited the largest amount to bring suit, and the miners’ organization will push it from one court to another until the supreme court is asked finally to pass upon the matter. Coal Scarce In St. Louis. St. Louis, July 24.—-Parts of the Tu- der Iron works in East St. Louis have been closed on account of the scarcity of coal. It is stated that unless these works obtain a supply of coal within a very. few days the entire mill will have to be shut down, thus throwing 600 men out of work. It is also stated that coal is very scarce at the packing houses at and near the National stockyards, just north of East St. Louis, and that if re— lief does not come Very soon they will have to close'and let 2,000 employees go idle. Outlook In the Kanawha. Wheeling, July 24.——The strike move- ment in the Kanawha valley and along the Norfolk'and Western railroad is paralyzed. The organizers have nearly all departed, and those remaining are making no headway. All but one of the Kanawha, soft coal mines in Ka- nawha are working to nearly full force, where 15 were reported struck yester- day. At Elkhorn, Thacker, Glat Top and Pocahontas all but those who have been refused work are in the mines. power to insulate the men against the magnetism of Debs and Ratchford. They are meeting with little success in getting the men out to hear them. The News From Cleveland. Cleveland, July 24.—Genera1 W. R. Woodford of the Cleveland, Lorain and Wheeling railroad admits that this. road is not hauling much WeSt Vir- ginia coal. He says his company has on hand coal enough to last 60 days. Thomas F. Young, a, manager for M. A. Hanna & 00., received a telegram today to the effect that the operatives at the Reynoldsville and Watson mines in the West Virginia fields had joined the strikers. For some reason West Virginia coal is not arriving in Cleveland in any con- siderable quantity. It would appear that the railroads, their denials notwithstanding, 'are con- fiscating it at the price at the mine, on cars. Reliable dealers declare there is- a market in Cleveland for every pound of coal coming forward, and this state- ment is confirmed, it would seem, by the fact that one of the largest power establishments in the city bought sev» eral cars of blacksmith’s coal at $3.25 a ton, where it had previously burned slack at 95 cents and $1 per ton. Ratchford Is Sanguine, Columbus, 0., July 24.——President Ratchford- wires from Fairmont that Hite's mines have stopped and three “locals” have been organized. \“Every- thing,” he says, “is coming our way." He will address two meetings today and then return to Columbus. A Gunboat’s Crew Massacred. Lisbon, July 24.—In the chamber 01 deputies today the colonial minister, .Senhor Candido, announced that the crew of a Portuguese gunlooat had been massacred near Chindo, on the Zambez: river, east Africa. He said the govern- ment had instructed the local com- mandant to punish the rebellious na- tives. ‘ M. Capoul Returning. Paris, July 24.—-M.

California Catarrh Cure is the great- est reliever of Hay Fever and the great- est cure. If you want proofs we will refer you to cures. ' Mr. Joseph A. Band, a Newburyport, Mass, man, says: “I was troubled for many years with catarrh and hay fever. I doctored lots for it, but for all the money I spent so, I got no help. My head troubled me so much, that I was kept constantly hawking and spitting. In the summer on the 20th of August, I always had hay fever, which lasted till the frosts'came. These attacks al- ways left my catarrh much worse, and at last I ha’d'all the symptoms of the disease. As I said, all the doctoring I spent money for did me no good; but by good luck I heard of California Ca- taarh Cure, and better luck, I used some. The first bottle relieved me at once, and did me an immense amount of good. It cleared my head, and kept it clear, made my throat feel all right, and was so pleasant to take too; I kept on using it right. through the summer, and it helped my hay fever wonder— fully. It relieves at once and thorough use will cure the worst cases. I am 'glad to recommend it as it has done so much for me. California Catarrh Cure is for sale by all dealers.

New York, July 24.-—'While Jacob and Mary Black, who say that they are 104 and 102 years of age respectively, were man caused. a fire, as. she believes, by stepping on a box of matches and ig- niting some oakum that was lying upon the floor. ’ ' , The fire occurred in the rear of the plumbing shop on the ground floor of the five s'tory tenement at 148 Clinton street. The roomson the four floors above are occupied by about 15 families. In the rear of the plumbing shop a little room is partitioned off, where Ja- cob and Mary Black, the parents of the plumber, live. The old mon is very fee- ble and weak minded, but his wife is bright and alert. Mrs. Black says she and her husband were walking about their room repeat- ing some lines from a Hebrew prayer book when shetouched off the matches. .Their little pet black and tan .- dog Nellie was alive to the ddbger and at once began to bark furiously. The aged woman turned about and saw the par- tition was in flames. Her husband was still tottering about the floor, mumbling his prayers. Seizing him about the body under his arms and half support- ing and half carrying her burden, Mrs. Black staggered th ugh a narrow pas- fell. In the meantime Patrolman Fry had heard the dog’s barks and came run— ning to the scene. With the assistance of several street cleaners, the policeman burst open the door just as the aged woman reached it from the inside with her husband in her arms. The other occupants of the house were now awake and panic stricken. They came running down the stairs or were fire escapes in their night robes. They were in no danegr, however. The firemen from No. 7’s house directed a stream into the shop which quickly put out the blaze. The aged pair were brought out into the street in a state of collapse. Two chairs were found for them, and brandy and water were obtained to revive them. The woman soon regained her senses and insisted that some brandy be given to the dog. Henry Black, the proprietor of the plumbing shop, lives at 58 Norfolk street, where his parents were taken. Mrs. Black was positive that she was 102 years old, when seen, and that her husband was two years older than her- self, but she was unable to give the year of her birth, naming only the month. She had been married so long, she said, that she had forgotten her maiden name. She said that she dis- tinctly, remembered Napoleon’s inva- sion of Russia and how the little Rus— sian boys were impressed into the army. She was a little girl at the time.
