1 "Rate 0&ered to Continue ,Pendiug Arbi-
tration—501110 Men Preparing to Re-
sume —— Feeling That; Differ-
ences “rill Be Adjusted.
Plttsburg, Sept. 2.—Propositions have
been made on behalf of the coal opera-
tors of the Pittsburg district, through
Thomas E. Young of the Panhandle
Coal company, one of M. A. Hanna’s
concerns, for peace, on the basis Of a
54 cent mining rate, to be paid pending
~3. decision of a board of arbitration to
determine what rate shall be paid. This
proposition will. be acted upon by the,
national executive board of the miners’
organization at Columbus.
Probabilities are reliably stated to be
that the executive board will authorize
'lhe acceptance of the rate offered.
The arrangement will be, of course,
pending arbitration, and the mines in
lhis district may resume before the end
)f the week.
Among operators here the prospect of
. an early resumption of work is. regard-
ed favorably, and they are not disposed
to submit the question of rates in the
meantime to arbitration, claiming that
their case will justify the contention
that the 69 cent rate was impossible
because" of the selling prices of coal at
the time contracts with western .and
northwestern railroads and manufac-
turing companies were taken.
Both Sides Wanted Peace.
The fact seems proved by develop-
ments during the last few days that'
both miners and operators have been
anxious for a settlement and both were
seeking a soft place to jump.
Pittsburg'ships 4,500,000 tons of coal
annually to the lake ports. About one-
balf of this was sent forward before the
strike,rmuch- of which was consumed.
The amount yet to go forward will give
employment to every miner in the dis-
trict until the close of navigation, Nov.
20.
A spurt in all lines of business is an-
ticipated here as a result of renewed
production of coal, that being the pri-
mary industry and employing about
22,000 men and boys directly.
The price agreed upon for the district
will start mines in all the rival fields
on rates corresponding with the estab-
lished differentials. This means 53 cents
in Ohio and parts of‘ Indiana and Illi—
nois. Miners generally hail the pros-
pect of peace with satisfaction, and
they will return to work if their ofli-
cials so advise. '
. ' The News In Ohio.
Massillon‘, 0., Sept. 2.—The operators
in this district are preparing to resume
the working of their mines, and they
expect that orders to go to work will
be received by the miners soon. The
-' acceptance of 64 cents a ton pending
arbitration in the Pittsburg district
would advance the Ohio rate to 55 cents,
and the miners here express their will-
ingness to accept that rate as soon as
they get the word from President
Ratchford. Very few of the mines
have many orders ahead, but the oper-
ators say they will be able to give the
menv practically steady employment
during the coming winter if they can
resume work now. '
The “’est Virginia Situation.
TWheeling, Sept. 2.—State Labor Com-
missioner Isaac Barton Of Wheeling has
just returned, after an extended trip
thrOugh the1coa1fields of the state. He
I "was detailed for this work by Governor
' 3f the miners being on strike.
Atkinson, who was anxious to know
the exact situation. Commissioner Bar-
ton spent eight days in his investiga-
tion, covering the Fairmont, New River
and Kanawha fields. Of Ithe 22,000
miners of the state, he finds that 10,000
are idle. Of these,-4,000 are New River
men and 4,000 Kanawha miners.
In both regions the suspension is
practically complete, fully 85 per cent
In "the
New River region the operators are
making no attempt to get out coal. On
L the Norfolk and Western road in the
southern part of the state the commis-
sioner reports that little coal is being
~produced. The only field in the state
where the strike is not becoming effect-
ive is at Fairmont, where the daily
" shipments of coal amount to 325 cars,
3,500 tOns..
“'orking In the Jellico District.
Knoxville, Sept. 2.—Miners are at
work in the Jellico district today, not-
withstanding the operators and leaders
of the miners have been. unable to ar-
aive at any agreement. Several men are
digging in the mines of the East Ten-
nessee company, and operators are now
zonfident that by next week all of the
[5 mines in the Jellico district will be in
Jperation. Miners occupying company
aouses and refusing to work will receive
notice to vacate at once. This plan is
nore readily effective on the Tennessee
than on the Kentucky side, 30 days’ no—
tice to vacate being required on the
Blue Grass side dividing line of the
states. Local operators claim that the
National laborers will be greatly sur-
prised at the large number of men who
will be at work in a few days.
The \Vaze Contribution Scheme.
Cincinnati, Sept. 2.—The Central La-
bor council of this city, composed of
3.11 the representatives of the
unions here, has adopted a resolution
approving the .course of the St. Louis
labor conference in setting aside the
earnings of labor on Sept. 3 for the as-
sistance of the striking miners.

HELD UP BY A WILD MAN.
The Crazy “King of the Pipe Road”
. Spreads Terror In His Bailiwick.
Mount Vernon, N. Y., Sept. 2.-—The
"wild man of the pipe road” "held up
the carriage of Frank R. Chambers of
the firm of Rogers, Peet & Co. of New
York. Mrs. Chambers, accompanied by
her coachman, was driving on the
Bronxville road near the family resi-
dence, Crow’s Nest, when a wild, un-
kempt man sprang from the bushes
and seized the horses by the heads.
Mrs. Chambers was frightened, but, re-
alizing that the much talked of wild
man was before her, retained her pres-
ence of mind and coolly asked him What
he wanted.
With great dignity he replied,
you not afraid of the king. ‘7”
The coachman was at first so thor-
oughly frig o'htened that he was prac—
tically helpless, but he quickly recov-
ered his wits, and, at a hasty nod from
Mrs. Chambers, struck the spirited
horses with the whip. The team
plunged and broke from the grasp of
the lunatic, and with another stroke
of the whip dashed away at a high rate
of speed, throwing “the king" into the
gutter. The local police later received
a report that Miss Greenville of High
street, this city, had been pursued on
the Bronxville road by the man. Bi-
cyclists from all sections of the country
are now afraid to trauel on this road
for- fear they may meet him, and many
inquiries are being made of the police
as to his probable capture. Sergeant
.Beckwith and several policemen start-
ed out today to renew the search for
the man, and it is hoped that they will
be more successful than the‘ other
searching parties. It is now believed
that he is the man who is reported to
have escaped from the Poughkeepsie
asylum some days ago.
POISONBD A FAMILY.
The Dose Administered at Breakfast by a
Demented Girl. ‘
Metropolis, Ills., Sept. 2.—The family
of Henry Miller, living in the suburbs
of this city, are said to have been poi-
soned by Nora Miller, a daughter of
Mr. Miller. The poison was adminis-
tered in scrambled eggs at breakfast.
One death has occurred, that of a baby
girl aged 18 months. The others of the
family who are in a very serious condi-
tion are Henry Miller, Mrs. Miller,
Simon, Albert, Oscar, Ike, Jake and
Agnes. Miller and Sophia Schafer, a
“Are
servant. Nora Miller is thought to be
demented. She was not affected by the
poison. There is little hope for the
recovery of the father, and it is possible
that two 01' three other members of the.
family will lose their lives.
A Correction of St. Louis Platform.
Chicago, Sept. 2.—Victo1' L. Berger of‘
Milwaukee. who was secretary of the
committee which prepared the declara-
tion of the . t. Louis labor conference,
calls attention to an error in the ses-
sions as sent out. He says that a de-
mand was made for the public owner-
ship of"‘mines and railroads,” not of
“railroads and telegraphs.” '
Savings Bank Rate Reduced.
Detroit, Sept. 2.—Eight of'the princi-
pal savings banks of this city have de-
cided to reduce the interest rate to 31/2
per cent from Sept 1 and one to 3 per
cent. Nearly all the banking institu—
tions have come to the conclusion that 4
per cent is too high a rate of interest to
pay when money is moving so slowly.
Manhattan “L” Earnings.
Albany, Sept. 2.—The annual report of
'the Manhattan Railway company for

with the state railroad commission to-
day, shows a net income for the Year of

sengers carried during that time was
