Operators Willing to Vay the Miners Sixty

Demand Sixty-Xine Cents—A Conference

at 1'ittsburg, but X« Agreement Was

Iteaelied.

Miii?.

PITTSBUIW, March (5.—Thecoal minors and operators of tho Pittsburg district mot yesterday in conference, but failed to agree, and a .strike will probably be ordered, which will effect between 15, 000 and Hi,out) men.

The new operators' association met yesterday and took in 20 new members. A discussion oi the trade situation was begun, but before it had proceed-»d far an interruption was caused by the entrance of a committee l'rom the miners convention, who informed the meeting of the resolution passed by them Monday demanding 00 cents for mining, and asked that a committee be appoiuted to confer with them oil the subject.

The operators appointed such a committee. The committee then wont into secret session which lasted until nearly midnight. The result of the conference leaves t^ie situation just as it was before the conference. Both sides insisted on their demands—the miner for the Columbus scale, 09 cents, and the operators for GO cents, allowing Ohio miners a differential of cents per ton.

The miners' committee will report to its convention, and if the workmen carry out their expressed intention, a strike will be ordered at once.

President Cairns of the local district denies emphatically that he sent out an order Monday night ordering a strike, and if any such thing was done, it was not with his approval.

The miners' convention yesterday set a scale for machine mining. It is equivalent to (59 cents and is the same as the present scale, with the exception of an advance of !i cents a ton for loading from a Jeffries machine.A

How the Jaiues Lick Legacies Ilavu liecn Managed. SAN FRANCISCO, March 6.—Within a

few weeks the board of trustees who have managed tho Lick estate since the decease of the pioneer, will ask the superior court to approve their accounts and discharge them from further duty. The board has handled millions of dollars left by the pioneer, and now that all bequests have been settled they wish to be absolved from further duty.

James Lick left almost all his money for educational purposes, the Lick observatory and the Lick school of mechanical arts being the two most important bequests. When James Lick's son was compromised with for $585,000 in 1S78, the trustees estimated that tho estate would fail to carry out all the legacies by $500,000. Accumulated interest and increase of values (luring so many years has provided money for every bequest, and left a surplus of over 1,000,000. ..

FOUR MILLION DOLLAR FIRE.

Port of Spain, in Trinidad, Almost Completely Destroyed. NEW YOIJK, March 6.—A special dis

patch f?om Port of Spain. Trinidad, to a morning paper says: This city has missed almost total destruction by fire. The loss will amount to nearly $4,000,000, tho chief business section having been the center of the conflagration. Nearly ^u,uuu people would have been homeless if it had not been for the assistance given by tho United States North Atlantic squadron and her majesty's ship Buzzard in extinguishing the flames.

The facilities for fighting fire are very unsatisfactory and the people are very indolent. The Maraval waterworks, which lies miles distance, are ample lor ordinary purposes, but they are not sufficient for a great emergency.

Soon after the flames began to getheadway in the town. Rear Admiral Meade signaled from the Xew York to the Raleigh and the Cincinnati to land as many men as could be spared, and simultaneously the flagship's boat went into the water. There was a lively rivalry among the men from each ship to reach the scene of the- lire, especially as the British cruiser Buzzard, having a near anchorage, was bestirring herself to land a party.

From the United States vessels more than 250 men were sent ashore, while the Buzzard sent about 50. Each boat's crew were supplied with lire buckets, axes and ropes, and the plan of action was quickly laid down and carried out. Chains of bucket parties were formed and a steady stream of wafer was conveyed to the lee side of the lire ro prevent its spread as much as possible. To extinguish the buildings already burning, or in close proximity to the flames, was impossible, and*SU efforts were concentrated on tearing down the buildings around the main conflagration and tearing down everything upon I which sparks and burning fragments might fall.

Organized and determined fighting of the flames at last had a good effect, and the advance of the fire •was checked, though not until the sailormen, as well as the townspeople, were thoroughly exhausted. Several of tho American seamen had narrow escapes. Everything is in confusion, and it will take several days to determine whether there was any loss of life among the citizens. The blow is overwhelming, and it will be many years before it recovers from it.

Followed.tlie Advice.

COLUMBUS, O., March 6.—John Vogalgesaug, a Swiss shoemaker, aged 2tt and single, walked into Livingston park at noon, and, sitting down by a tree, placed a revolver against his temple and killed himself. He used a hand mirror to get a good aim. He was employed in Goodman's shoe factory and worked up to 11 a. m., when he left the shop without explanation. It is said that he was suffering from a disease, and a companion laughingly suggested to him several days ago that he had hotter shoot himself. This seems to have worked on his mind.

The President Leaves Washington.

WASHINGTON, March 0.—The president has left Washington on tho lighthouse tender Violet. He was accompanied by Dr. O'Reilly, his physician, Commander Do F. Wild, naval secretary of the lighthouse board, and Commander Benjamin P. Laniberton, inspector of the. lighthouse district. The cruise of the Violet will cover about the same territory as was covered on her former trip with Mr. Cleveland. The trip is likely to last a week or 10 days.

Could Not l'ay Their Debts.

WILMINGTON, Del., March (5.—George W. Bush to Sons' company, extensive dealers in coal and lumber, and who run a line of barges between Philadelphia and Wilmington, have gone into the hands of receivers. Tho liabilities are about $250,000, and the assets about $450,000. Chancellor Walcott has appointed George W. Bush and the Equitable Guarantee and Trust company as receivers.

Hurst a lilood Vessel.

ROCKVILLK, Ind., March 6.—Mamie, the 13-year-old daughter of R. C. McDevitt, was taken suddenly ill at school yesterday forenoon and died in a carriage before she could be taken home. She played at recess with her companions as usual. It is thought a blood vessel burst in her head.

A NIGHT TILLER

Thero was a large party ai the Chateau de Kerdall, near Valines. The Marquis do Kerdall and his young wife had just returned from a tour of the world on their yacht, during which they had paid flying visits to Africa, America and Oceanica, and they had celebrated their home coming by gathering together all their friends and relatives at their beautiful country house.

Among tho guests was old Dr. Cornabuc, an illustrious member of the Academy of Metaphysical Sciences, so original, so absent-minded, so venerable in his blond peruke and his costume of tho fashion of 1850. Then thero was Mme. doLartigues, an old school friend of the marquise, a brilliant and coquettish Farisienno. And there was Miss Hawthorne, an English maiden lady with youthful propensities. And there wero many others, all of whom found plenty of amusement to their hearts' content at Kerdall.

Outside of tho ordinary pleasures of life thero wero some unusual attractions. In tho first place the host and hostess had seen and experienced so much that was novel and startling that their conversation was always fascinating. Then the rooms of the castlo constituted a veritable museum, being stocked with rare and curious objects from two continents. And finally a managcrio had been created in one corner of tho park and stocked with tho various animals which M. de Kerdall had picked up during the voyage and brought back to Franco for purposes of acclimatization. There wore gazelles, antelopes, Tibet goats, Nile ibises, rose flamingoes, opossums, beavers and an Asiatic ape of tho mandrill species, as mild as a lamb, but as mischievous as all his kind. An iron lattice cage had boon built for him closo to the conservatory.

As will bo seen, tho Chateau de Kerdall was a veritable Eden, but this fact did not provent little Mme. doLartigues from dreading tho isolated position of tho place among the wido expanse of woods and fields. "I should bo afraid to live hero all tho year round,'' she said. "Afraid of what, my dear?" asked the marquise. "Oh, of robbers. They would fairly revel here.''

Robbers! In this mansion filled to tho eaves with guests and servants! Everybody mocked at tho young woman, and old Dr. Cornabuc told horrible stories about burglars and assassins until Mme. do Lartigues, ashamed of her chimerical fears, was tho first to laugh, and when tho retiring hour came she mounted to her sleeping apartment on the second floor supplied with a good'y stock of heroism. Within a short time all the occupants of the chauteau were in tho land of dreams.

How long Mme. de Lartigues slept she knew not She was awakened by a rattling at her window, which oho had left half open on account of the heat.

What was her terror when in the feeble starlight she saw a form climbing noiselessly through the window. She tried to scream, but her throat was parched with fright, and abe could not utter a sound.

The man had entered the chamber.

Then the poor woman hastily buried her head beneath the bedclotliing. Half dead with fear, she could hear her nocturnal visitor going and coming across the carpet with muffled steps. It seemed as though he must have removed his shoes in order to tread softly. Bathed with cold perspiration and her teeth chattering she awaited the mortal blow from the invader. But it did not come.

After about a quarter of an hour she timidly peeped out. She could see and hear nothing. Slightly reassured, she recovered the use of her voice and started a series of shrieks, so sharp, piercing and terrible that in an instant the entire chatean was turned topsy turvy. Everybody rushed into her chamber with lights in their hands, M. and Mme. de Kerdall at the head. 1 "What is it? What's tho matter?" they cried.

She recounted her horrible vision. They would not believe her. Sho had been dreaming. Who could have climbed into this chamber, so high above the ground, without a ladder? "Did you see him plainly?" asked the marquis, with a touch of suspicion in his voice. "As plainly as I seo yon, and it even seemed"— She hostt:,ted. "What?" "It seemed as though I could recognize Dr. Curabuc. in his blond wig and redirigoto."

Everybody laughed. What! Dr. Cornabuc! A man of his ago and character scaling windows at midnight! It was certain now that Mme. doLartigues had been dreaming. They tried to dissipate her fear, and she was ju&t about to per-

suado herself that she had been tho victim of an hallucination when she happened to cast her eyes upon tho bureau, where sho had left her jewels.

They wero gone! I" had truly been a robber! Tlio laughing suddenly ceased, and they looked at ono another in consternation.

All at once another cry was heard, a piercing shriek coming through the stillness of the night. It appeared to emanate from Miss Hawthorne's chamber. There was a rush for her apartment, and tho English lady was found standing in the middle of tho room, with frightened eyes. "There, there!" sho cried, pointing to tho window. "A man! He escaped, but I recognized him." "Who W.I-- It'.'" "Dv. Cornahuc!"

Tho doctor again! This timo'riobody laughed. Cornabuc was looked tor among the persons who had been attracted by the excitement, but he was not there. lit! was the only occupant of tho chateau who was missing. "Come, let us go to the doctor's room," said the marquis, knitting his brows. "lie will doubtless solve the mystery for us.

All followed Kerdall, tlio men half dres thewom"n in their white nightrobes, all carrying candles—a weird proce~siun. Upon the enfranco of the crowd, tiio doctor hurriedly wrapped himself in the bedclothes, his wrinkled countenance alone being visiblo over the top, and this convulsed by anger into a comical grimace. The candle liirht was reflected from his bald pate, which shone like old ivory. "i "Is this some ill timed joke?" be stormed. "What is going on? Is the chateau on lire? 1 heard a terrible outcry and was about to inquire into it

You must come and join us, doctor," said Kerdall. "And how shall I doit?" cried tho doctor furiously. "Some rascal has run off with my clothing, and in exchange has left me this," and ho savagely hurled a white object into tho middloof the room. "My corsets!" murmured Miss Hawthorno, modestly lowering her eyes. "And this!" continued tho doctor, wildly brandishing another article. "My hat!" cried Mine, do Lartigues. "This rail cry passes all bounds," howled tho doctor, whoso shining head, with one final grimace, ducked beneath the bedclotliing, like the clown going through a trapdoor in the marionette theater. -v'

They know not what to think. The mysterv was growing more complicated. It certainly looked as though a robber had entered tho chateau perhaps a whole band of burglars and assassins. Mine, de Lartigues imagined a troop of brigands armed to the teeth. "Let us hope they have no guns," said tho marquis, to raise tho hopes of his guests.

There was no echo to tho pleasantry. Suddenly a strange sound was hoard coming from the ground floor. It was certainly tho piano tho reception salon, hut it was surely being played by goblin lingers, and so furiously thai it seemed as though the lays must be broken.

"This is too much!" cried the marquis, rushing toward tho staircase, with all tho crowd, except Dr. Cornabuc, closo behind him.

to!And,

They hastily penetrated tho salon. It was empty. The mysterious visitor was gone, but he could not be far away. The crash of china and glass announced his presenco in the dining room. Everybody rushed thither, and tho marquis, who was in tho lead, dimly saw a form escaping through the window into tho garden.

"This time wo've got him!" he cried. The men seized guns and knives from a hunting rack in tho vestibule and started across the gardon and park in pursuit of the fugitive, while the women barricaded themselves in the salon and anxiously awaited tho result of the chase. It was about an hour later, in the uncertain light which precedes the rising of the sun, that a servant discovered the mysterious stranger ensconced among tbo branches of a largo oak. At his call tbo marquis and his guests hastened to tho spot. "Come down!" oommaiuled M. de Kerdall, but the bandit only settled himself deeper among the foliage and mado no response. "Come down, or I will shoot 1"

as there was still no reply, he

lifted his gun and already had his finger upon the trigger when the domestic huriodly pulled his arm and said: "Do not fire, monsieur. It is Dr. Cornabuc!"

And, sure enough, the blond wig and long redingote could now be seen among the leaves. But at this moment the first ray of sunlight gleamed in from the east, and the oak was illuminated. The marquis suddenly broke into a fit of explosive laughter and, as his guests gazed up into the tree they could not keep from following his example. "The apte!"

Everything was explained. The animal had escaped from his cage the previous evening and had managed to effect an entrance into the chateau. Animated by his instinct of imitation, he had first attired himself in the doctor's effects and then wandered over the house at his own froe will. He was put back into his prison after some little trouble, and at breakfast the party enjoyed a hearty laugh at tho adventures of the liTght.

But Dr. Cornahuc did not appear at tho table lie lei,, the chateau at an early hour, lurious and without taking leave. Since tins episode ho has never set foot a* Ken!.ill, and lie has never lost alceliiiL'ot deep antipathy to Mme de Lartigues and Miss Hawthorne. "How could they have mixed me iipu with a monkey?" he wants to know.— San Francisco Argonaut.
