News. LOCJAXSPOKT, Ind., Aug. 13.—The search for missing Howard Pietzel, which was abanuoued at Indianapolis two weeks ago, was resumed here yesterday by Detective Geyer and Inspector W. E. Gary of the Fidelity Mutual Life Insurance company. Certain facts aud circumstances have come to light which make it appear practically certain that the boy was disposed of by Holmes, eitlier here or at Peru. If nothing delinite is learned here, Peru will be the next place investigated. Both places or junction points on tlie road Irom Indianapolis to Detroit, and which he chose tor his stopping place will protxibly be revealed only alter a search has been made. it has been ascertained that Holiucs liou-ur a railroau ticket of a scalper at Indianapolis. The broker who soul it is absent at the bedside of a sick sister in Michman, and will be interviewed by the detectives immediately upon his return. By tracing this ticket to the railroad records it is thought that information will be gained as to Holmes' exact destination and time of arrival. It has always been known for some time th«.t Mrs. Holmes, who had been requested by her husband to meet him at Detroit, came by way of Logansport. Holmes joined her on the way, but at what point is not definitely known. In a recent interview he claimed to have upbraided his wife for coming by way of Logansport, which is the longer route and require I more mileage, but this assertion has been construed largely in the nature if a play to mislead and direct attention away from this place.

Detective Geyer is undecided yet whether to think that Holmes brought all three of 'he Pietzel children here, or that he came with Howard alone, ar after muru^ring him, returned to Indianapolis aud escorted the two girls to Detroit. He gives the Chicago authori-

MINERS MAY STRIKE.

Eight Hundred May Oat in Fayette County, \V««st Virginia. CHARLESTON, W. Va.. Aug. 13.—There are strong indications that the 800 miners employed at the coal operations on Loup creek, in Fayette county, will go on a strike within a very few days. The men are paid 55 cents per car of coal mined in room and 70 cents per car of entry coal. They claim that the car holds nearly three tons, though supposed to contain only two. They demand that the car measurement shall cease and that the operators put in scales, but continue the present rates for mining.

The operators claim that tlie cars now in use hold only one and seven-tenths tons and that consequently the tonnage rate on Loup creek is 32.35 vents and 41. IS cents per ton according to the character of the work necessary to mine 2oal. This is :j cents per ton more than is paid for mining on the Kanawha and New rivers, though the Loup creek vein is ui much greater thickness. Despite the better prices paid, it is claimed that ow:ng to the superior thickness of the vein on the creek, the operators there sell their coal at abetter profit than the Ivanawha aud New river operators. They claim that the present trouble is due to the agitation incited by the latter, wlu have been constantly handicapped by their inability to compete with Loup creek coal.

A delegate convention of New river and Loup creek miners wrill be held this week, prob.toly Thursday, to discuss the situation in all its bearings, and it is probuole that linal action will be taken at that time.
