An Important Conference IScing Held at Columbus Which May Settle flic Fate of the Ohio Miners anil Other Districts Will

I'rohabiy Me (itiided Thereby—latest Ivews I-'rmii the PiiJerent Districts.

C'OLUMIHS. U., May 2.—The Ohio Miners' association, auxiliary to the United Mine Workers of America, met IHTO yesterday, with President Hatchford in the chair. The convention was called "todeal with the price question.'' According to former agreements Ohio miners worked 9 "cents below the Pittsburg district. The important ques-t-ion now is shall this differential of *J cents continue. The call as read shows further that the men who stopped work yesterday in Ohio did so by recommendation of their organization officials until a scale is arranged.

President Ratchford ill his address said that this convention was to determine whether the miners will maintain last year's prices or whether they will force an end to the cruel and dishonest competition under which they tire being ground down to the level of the lowest class of foreign labor. For the first time in tin- history of Ohio, her miners an- called upon to fix a rate for the entire bituminous field.

Mr. Hatch lord sarcastically concludes that if the miners of the country found their investment profitable last year it will require no argument to cause it to be realiirmeu. but if, as time lias clearly proved, that it was a wild and untimely speculation.

should hesitate before-

repeating that memorable action. Thus it will

1)0

seen that, although he makes

no definite suggestion, practically he advises the Ohio miners to insist upon an increase over the present scale of '50 cents.

President Ratchford said to the Associated Press opresentative that (50 cents is not enough for the Ohio miner, who, during the latter part of the winter, lived upon charity. He said the indications were that an advance would be asked, but he could not say how much, nor could he say what action the convention would probably take with reference to the situation in Pittsburg.

The scale committee last night- after a long discussion decided to ask for an advance over the present rate of GO cents. The meeting of the committee was secret, but- it was learned there was a division on the amount of the advance to be asked. Some favor an advance of 5 cents and others 10 cents. The miners and operators are now in joint session considering the matter.

The outcome of this conference awaited with great interest by miners in all other districts.

ISelieved a Settlement Will lie Effected Soou.

NELSONVILLI-:, O., May- 2.—The coal miners throughout the Hocking valley are all out, having performed tlleir last work until the scale is settled. It is believed the suspension will not continue more than a week.

A similar state of affairs at Massillon has been called a strike, but information ii to the effect that the men are only out awaiting a settlement as to what their wages is to be under the new scale for 189u-96, to be adopted by the Ohio miners now in session at Columbus.

Settled by Arbitration.

POMEHOY, O., May 2.—Through instrumentality of the state board of arbitration, the mining troubles were adjusted at Mincrsville yesterday and the old men will go to work at the 2-cent rate. Concessions were made on all sides.

MINES DID NOT RESUME.

PITTSBURG, May 2.—Yesterday was the day set apart by the operators for a general starting of the mines on tlie Wheeling division of the Baltimore and Ohio with a view to breaking the strike. Tlie start was made but it was not- up to I the expectations of the operators, for very lew men are at work. Al the

Jumbo and Midway mines of F. L. Robbins, about IN .'iien are at work, which is a small proportion of the capacity. Henry Fioersheim's Germania and Nottinghain minos are also in operation with a few diggers at work. I A number of operators made no attempt to Mai-- yesteiuav, but expect to have plenty of men in a few days.

CONFLICTING REPORTS.

State of Aft'airs Along tlir o, lie »uI Western K:ti!ro vd.

WHEELING, May ~.—-There are conflicting reports from points in the southern part, of this state regarding tho miners' strikes in the West Virginia coal fields along the Norfolk and Western railroad. The dispatches to the effect that 10,000 men are out and are holding meetings, and there being fear of trouble, etc., are greatly exaggerated. There are but :{S mines in the entire Norfolk and Western region, employing all told not more, than 4,000 miners, and the strike does not extend to all of them.

News from reliable correspondents received by Wheeling papers laii ro confirm the wild stories about anticipated bloodshed. Should the strike neeome general it will not involve one-third tlie number of men reported, nor am there any fears that the authorities will not lie able to cope with lawlessness.

No Strike of Indiana Aliiierx. BRAZIL, Ind., May 2.—The last blow to the proposed strike in the block coal fields was dealt, yesterday afternoon, when tlie committee of miners and operators met in the olfice of the Bra/al Block Coal company and signed the scale for Mm ensuing year. The miiiers are to receive 70 cents per ton or the same, as lust year, with the provision that, in case there is a cut in a competitive district they are to submit to a 5cent, reduction, but 110 more under any circumstances.

NEW YOHK, -As all roads l-?nd to Home, so do all the new fabrics lead to gowns or wraps, and all the llowcrs and grewsome straw arrangements lead to millinery. The materials are so very varied tliis spring that itwill be surely fall before they can all be adequately described, and then it will be too late. There is one new stuff that I have never seen before, and as it makes up so very prettily I feel in dutybound to mention it. Tins is a sort, of silk warp wool in several shades, with a crepon effect, and yet- the surface is perfectly

OrTPOOi: Si'IllNG CO-TI'MEs

smooth. Thecrinkled effect is obtained by wavy lines of black over the solid color. It is very pleasing, and takes any kind of trimming while yet not really needing any. In some eases the ground is changeable, the silk war]) being of one color and the wool being of another, like brown and green, or gold and purple, with fine black lines over all. Bronze effects are obtained with old gold and olive green, and over these, are bine lines or perhaps bright green ones.

Another pleasing new goods lias a weave resembling velour very closely, the alternate cords being of different color, generally quite light tints, and over these are scattered little silvery silk tufts. Some of them have a slightly iridescent effect- and require tin* softening influence of all the lace that can be applied.

Mohair and brilliantine, both plain and figured, have advanced in po^ftilar favor until now there is scarcely another material oftener purchased for ordinary- use. It comes in all colors, but I think the black, blues and grays are the best liked. They give the best effects. I admired one dress of dark gray. The skirt was lifted on the left side over blue taffeta, which was overlaid with black lace in heavy pattern. With this there was an ivory white cloth cape, quite short and not overfull, but stiffened so that it stood out sharply. Over this were, laid shush**? of perforated crepon in the same shade, and under the crepon was taffeta of the same shade JUS that in the underskirt. Two little choux of dark blue velvet finished it- at the neck. The whole costume was neat, and refined, besides being quite dressy enough for ceremonious visiting.

Another spring costume attracted 'my attention. The dress was of moire crepon in a rich dark indigo. The waist was of dark blue taffeta, with fine lines of red and yellow forming a large plaid pattern. Over this was a double cape of corded black silk. The upper portion wa-s cut very full and plaited to a flat yoke, and on each phiif was a close but rich pattern wrought-of jet and iridescent bine spangles. The same garniture encircled the bottom. The front was neatly plaited, and there wits more of llr-c trimming there and on the yoke. The wrap was lined with naples blue taffeta. Naturally these capes could both be worn with other costumes.

Some of the prettiest waists shown this week arc made of the new soft percale. Percale, as we have .always s*en it, is rather harsh and stiff to the touch, but now it is produced as soft and delicate as the sea island cottons or the zephyr ginghams. A waist of this was gathered very full to a draped belt of tlie same. There was a shirred yoke collar, with a, rullle of the percale embroidered. The sleeves ended in deep rubles of the same embroidery. The colors were a frosty blue wiih minute white dots. Small blue ribbon roseltes were put on the sleeves and collar. Such a waist can be worn with quite heavy wool skii-ts.

There was a rich algerine striped silk waist, which was very rich and dressy. The waist, was laid in broken folds and held in by a self belt-. The sleeves had I large draped puffs, with the 1'ore parts made quite plain. There was a deep pointI ed yoke of ecru lace, and around the neck were sewed on the band two rows of c.va.u wax pearl bends. A few of these blouse

waists have high neckbands covered with some soft material draped

and just

under the chin two points of dark velvet turn down like the points of a man's collar.

Among the fancies I notice embroidered evening gloves. Tiny are. tins long inousquetaire or 20 buttons, and along tint upper portion are embroidered butterflies and dragon flies, also scintillant beetles. These are done in silks and spangles, and while they are very odd they certainly are not pretty

Among novelties for the new millinery I saw several hats trimmed with bunches of green hazelnuts and others having two or three unri]M) chestnut burs. On one side of a hat would be a trailing branch of 9gkintine and perhaps on the other burs jr tease-ls, thistles or hazelnuts. Regular bouquets of various colors of flowers arc grouped 011 some. There is no limit to the curious combinations.

Two Lives.

Two babes were born in the selfsame town On the very same bright day. They laughed and cried in their mothers' arms

In the very selfsame way. And both were pure and innocent As falling flakes of snow, 5 But one of tliem lived in the terraced house'

And one in tho street below

Two children played in the selfsame town. And the children both were fair, But one had curls brushed smooth and round

Tin other had tangled hair. The children both grew up apace. As other children grow, But one of them lived in the terraced house

And ovV in the street below

Two maidens wrought in the selfsame town And one was wedded and loved Tlie other saw through the curtains' part

The world where her sister moved. And one was smiling, a happy bride The other knew care and woe, For one of them lived in the terraced house

And one in the street below

Two women lay dead in the selfsame town, And one had tender care The other was left to di.» alone

On her pallet all thin and bare. And one had many to mourn her loss. For the other few tears would flow. For one had lived in the terraced house

And one in the street below

If Jesus, who died for the rich and poor. In wondrous holy love, ^?ook both the sisters in his arms

And carried them above, Then all the difference vanished quite. For in heaven none would know Which of them lived the terraced house
