NO END -JO TIIK STRIKE. V" ./

Coi.r.\im:s, 0., June 15.—President A. A. Adams, oI the Ohio Miners association (district No. (5), has issued a call for a meeting of the miners In Columbus on Tuesday, Juno 19. He asks the miners to select their best men to represent them, us business of great importaiico will have to be acted upon. Secretary Mcliryde, of the National Miners' association, says that unless the compromise is accepted by the miners a general meeting will be called, at which the national officers will tender their resignations. Mcliryde gives it as his opinion that unless the Ohio miners accept the agreement they will be compelled to go back to work at 40 cents a ton instead of 00. The national officers formerly treated Adams and his theories with contempt, but since ho has so strong a following and indorsement of his course on tha agreement lie is recognized as a formidable factor.

President Meliride recognizes the importance of giving the Adams movement a more than passing attention. Adams telegraphed J. W. Murray, vice president of the Illinois miners, that the executive board signed over his head, that the men would not accept the compromise and asked him to stand linn. Murray at the recent meeting refused, with Adams, to sign the scale. The harmony of action between these two, together with the fact that the miners are following Adams, holding meetings anil demanding- the resignation of the national oflicers, leads to a conclusion that Adams Is getting in lino to fill Mcliride's place should the latter resign. Mcllrido olaims that tho aotion of tho executive board In signing the scale was in accord with the views of the district presidents, of whom Adams was one.

Indiana Men Dissatisfied.

BRAZIL, Ind., June 15.—Thursday afternoon the miners received the ofllcial report of the action of the Columbus convention. They are greatly dissatisfied, and a meeting is called for this afternoon to decide whether to accept or reject the scale. Vice Presi dent I'. II. Penna is in the city and win be present at the meeting. Mr, l't-.nna says that the scale was the very best that could be secured for the miners, as other laborers' wages have been reduced about 49 per cent., while the miners' have only been reduced 19 per cent.

Will not Abide by the Compromise. CARNEGIE, l'a., June 15. A massmeeting of the miners of tho Pun-IIan-dlo district was held here to consider the Columbus compromise. About U,UU0 men were present and after a number of heated speeches, in which the national oflicers were roundly scored, a resolution was almost unanimously adopted declaring for the 79cent scale. Delegates were chosen to attend the general convention to-day and were instructed to vote in the same way there.

Mcllrlde to ltcKlgn.

A miner residing at Newburg overlieurd Mr. Pe'nna's remarks and quickly assured the official that the miners in this locality were very indignant and would ask Dunkerly and MeJiride to resign. Mr. Penna promptly replied that it would be unnecessary, as the present officials had already instructed president Mclirido to tender their resignations. Mr. Penna said he deplored the present condition of affairs as much as the strikers, but he was in a position to know that if a settlement had not been reached the minors would have been reduced to 50 cents within ten days. At numerous points in the county miners have held meetings and denounced the action of McBrlde.

Some Go to Work.

OWKSHHOHO, Ky., June 15.—Striking miners at Troy and Cannelton, Ind., resumed work Thursday. Other miners in this section, numbering about 2,000, will go to work Monday.

These flres were put out by tho several bridge-repair crews, und while the workmen were so engaged the miners started another (Ire under a string of empty box oars. They obtained lights and curoused all night. They were defiant and intolerant all day, and General Manager lilair, who has not asked for protection up to this time, made a demand upon the sheriff of Carroll county, who, in turn, asked the governor for troops.

CARROLLTON, O., June 15.—The sheriff of this county received a telegram from General Superintendent A. G.

PANA, 111., June 15.—Puna expects the crisis to come very soon. The tension is rapidly nearingtho point where something must give way and the citizens declare that either the Invaders encamped in Pope's grove must go home or they will be driven away. On the other hand the strikers of Pana and the 500 outside miners in Camp Pope insist that they have no intentions of doing anything of a lawless nature, but at the same time they have given it out that they will march into Pana whether the mayor permits them or not. Deputy Sheriff Samuel V. Rose berry has Issued an order commanding all special deputy sheriffs who have been sworn in to assemble at once with arms and ammunition and to remain cn duty until discharged, lie threatens punishment to tho full extent of the law to every oue who refuses to obey.

The bodies were found inside of a rude pen that Brock had built to keep the hogs from devouring them They were badly decompose!, and had been laying there two days.

Berkley, of Borden. Monday evening Brock persuaded his wife and son to leave the house with him on the pretext of going to call on the mother of Mrs. Brook, who lived a short distance away.

Ills head was blown entirely off and was found some distance away. The discovery of the bodies was made by the elder sons of Brook, who had been searching for them since Monday night. It is one of the most sensational crimes ever committed in southern Indiana.

Tlie testimony brought out tjy the Lexow Investigating committee shows ihut the police, in addition to their wttWn-les from the city, have had un additional income contributed by the keepers of disorderly houses, saloons, gambling-houses, merchants and irashi-urt i»ddlers."

What the Saloons Pay.

The fact is cited that there are 7,000 saloons in the city of New York and the paper reckons that the alleged police charges for protection for side doors open on Sttuduy Is 810 a week for each saloon. Allowing that only one-half of the saloons paid these charges, the total for one year Is arrived at, to-wit: SI,WO.000.

The Disorderly Houses.

the the the of

According to the ulleged poli'je .schedule of prices for opening disorderly houses, the income to the police from this one source Is estimated by tl»e paper to be S3.000,000. After the opening of these immoral houses, .according to the evidence, be fore the Lcxow committee, the keepers of the houses are required to pay from 850 to S100 per month, ami it Is reckoned that from tills source the police receive an annual income of SS,100.000. (iaiiihlerft and Other Victims.

Four hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year is estimated as the amount of the ulleged extra charges for special favors anil protection from the police.

A Terrible Disaster Occurs Off tha Irish Coast.

FIFTY OR MORE LIVES REPORTED LOST

Capsizing of a Vessel loaded with Har* vesters En Route for Seotland— Thirty Rociles Kerovered and Many Misttlng.

The boat capsized off Annagh Head.

The relatives and friends of the harvesters have been gathered on the shore since the news was received, and the soenes of sorrowing as the bodies were brought to land were terrible. The victims were young persons of both sexes. They were inhabitants of Aohill island and depended for a livelihood upon the scunty earnings they could make in Englund and Scotland, to which countries they were accustomed to go every year.

Cau.e of tho Disaster.

The boat which capsized was overorowded, the people in their haste to catoh the Glasgow boat from Westport having little regard for their safety The disaster was due to an attempt to turn the boat without lowering sail. Most of the victims were kept under wator by the sails, which were fully set when the vessel went over. As soon as the acoideiit hap pened boats from t*he steamer Elm lying near, ,put out to the rescue and many of the harvesters were taken out of the water. Some of them were unconscious, but revived after restoratives had been administered. It is believed that the bodies of the few persons missing will bo found in the hold of the ill-fated vessel.
