QUIT BY THOUSANDS. The Great Strike of Coal Miners Is Inaugurated. ; The Leaders Apparently Pleased with the Situation—They Claim That More Than 128,000 Men Have Laid Down T Their Tools, e € X : MANY STATES AFFECTED. CoLumBUS, 0., April 24.—President Jchn Mcßride, of the United . MineWorkers, has. watched the newspaper reports of the big coal miners’ strike, which began at noon' Saturday, very carefully and made comparisons with the information received by him. He estimates the number on strike at 128,100, as follows: - . Ohfo..iioveined 126000 Kentucky .. 0i... 4000 Pennylvatia .... ..50,0001103»&. Caiidn 120 111in0i5...... ......24,000{Mi550uri.......... 1,200 Indland...ie civis 6,o(_)o|We.§;t Virginia.... 2,000 A1abama.......... 8000!Indian Territory 1,700 Tennessee. ... .... 4,009] - This estimate dees not inciude Colorado, from which state contradictory reports have been received. A few days ago word wasreceived from northern Colorado that the miners in that state would join the 'strike. There are about 3,000 miners there. Since that time no definite information has been received. : . The strike, so far as Ohio and Pennsyivania are :concerned, seems to have been a complete success. The results in Illinois also have béen much more encouraging than was anticipated. President Mecßride’s first estimate of; the number of men who ‘would suspend woerk in that state was 15,000 ocut of a total of 85,000, but his figures show that there are fully 24,000 men out.. In the northern section of Illinois he estimates that there are 16,000 miners out at Spring Valley, La Salle,s Oglesby, ' Peru, Streator, Braceville, Braidwood, Coal City, Diamond, Gardner, Carbon Hill. At the Danville and Grape Creék mines there are also 800 meu out. . President . Mcßride: has received additional information from State President J. A. Crawford of the Illinois miners, who'is also a member of the national executive board, that fully 2,600 men' in the Springfield district have quit work. At Duquoin and St John there are also 1,000 idle men. The advices from the southern Illinois mining region are rather meager up to tliis time. P. H. Penna, national vice | president of the, United Mine \Vorliers, is at Pana, one of-the largest mining centers in that section of the state, and the latest information from him was to the effect that a majority of the men there had voted to strike. President Mcßride is hopeful that by May 1 the strike will have spread over the entire state of Illinois. I}ie-claims that the operators there are now trying to make it appear that they had not expected to force a reduction of twenty cents on May 1, but that the notices posted by the operators refute their statements. - -
It now seems that Illinois and West Virginia will be the battle ground in the competitive district. President Mcßride estimates that in West Virginia- out of about 9,000 miners 2,0005 have suspended avork. A dispatch was received from the miners at Moundsville, W. Va., stating that the miners had been offered the seven-ty-cent rate .demanded, and asking whether they should accept it and return to work.. President Mcßride wired them not toaccept under any conditions until furthér advised. He says that ‘this will be one of the greatest things to be overcome in the present strike, as no doubt in ‘many places offers will be made to pay the prices demanded and the miners will be inclined to accept. -In Onio-there has not been a single report of a refusal on the part of the miners to join the movement. President Mcßride says that so far as he can determine there is only one place in Pennsylvania outside of the anthracite and coke regions where the miners have mnot quit work 'and that is at Tuttle Creek, where about 1,500 *men are employed. . The press dispatches indicate that in western Pennsylvania 6,000 river miners and 6,000 railroad miners are idle. There are really about 12,000 railroad miners in western Pennsylvania and about 9,000 river miners, all of whom, it is claimed, arve idle. ; # In the Laurel and New Pittsburgh regions.on the Kentucky Central railroad in Kentucky, President Mecßride claims 2,000 miners have suspended work, and in the Jellico and Newcombe districts in Tennessee about the same number. In the latter state this represents about all of the free miners. The men there have to contend against thy employment of about 4,000 convicts in the mines, who, of course, cannot be brough®in.o the movement. Press dispatches from lowa indicate that none of the miners there have struck, but President Mcßride has a telegram from Julius Froh stating that all the southern part of that state is out. There are about 3;000 miners in the section indicated.
In Alabama President Mcßride says there are about 8,000 miners idle, having quit work two weeks ago. There, as in Tennessee, they have to contend against the employment of convicts in the mines. ;
The miners are striking for the restoration of the inter-state wage agreement which was abandoned during the summer, first: voluntarily by a small number of miners in the Pittsburg district. and thus forced a reduction in every competitive district in the United States. ’ bl ;

: ON THE MARCH. Eelly and His Men Resume Their Tramp : Through lowa. NEeoLA, Ta., April 24.—At 8:30 a. m. on Sunday Gen. Kelly’s army of 1,800 commonwealers left Weston on their march to Chicago. It ended the day’s tramp at this place with a spectacular welcome. It was escorted over the winding clay road by the farmaears, many of whom came. 25 miles, with brass bands. It was the strangest spectacle lowd ever saw. Well 1 front of the long line of battered humanity rolled the eighteen wagons of provisions, loaded heaping full, and as many more wagons were waitipg in front of Neola city hall. They were the substantial eviHences of the lowa farmers’ movement to feed and care for Kelly’s army until the Mississippi river flows across the line of march. i , - This towp was crowded with people as the hour approached for the army to appear. The mayor and city officials and a commiftee of citizens, headed by the Neola band and all "the school children. of the city, marched to the bridge over Mosquito . creek tc meet Kelly’s army. The children carried flags and 'on the clothing of each chkild was pinnea a silk badge upon which was printed: *‘Neola’ militia.” This said a: committeeman, was Neola’s answer to Gov. Jackson’s order calling out the state militia when Kelly entered lowa. The Kellyites marched into the city singing “Marching Through Georgia,” ~and then the -Neola. band joined the Underwood band, and Kelly’s army, with two brass bands, eighteen wagons of provisions and 2,500 excited, cheering men, women and children escorting it, paraded in triumph through the streets to the camping grounds in the grove. There the addresses of welcome were made, the freedom of the city given to the army, and seon the coffee was steaming and good, thick beefsteaks sent appetizing odors through the camp. - The men were bhoused in livery stables,, the city hall and vacant buildings. KILLED BY OFFICERS: A Prominent Citizen of Marshall, IllL, Shot Dead. TERRE HAuUTE, Ind., April 24. —At Marshall, I 11.; Will Eaton, a young man of good family and an irreproachable reputation, was shot.and. almost instantly killed by a posse of officers nnder most peculiar circumstahces. Mrs. Brown, a wealthy widow, received a| letter on Friday, demanding that $2OO be placed in an envelope at a certain place near her residence at 8 o’clock or the house would be blown up. At the appointed hour the officers observed a man take the envelope and walk off with it. He did not halt when - warned and was shot by the officers. * He died after . stating that he ‘‘must have been crazy” to write the letter. The town is wild with excitement over the shooting, most of the citizens believing that the police killed the wrong man, despite the circumstantial evidence. The police expect to unearth other parties to the affair. ] > : . * LOST AT SEA. : The Steamer Los Angeles Wrecked in the Pacific— Four Bodies Washed Ashore.

Some time during the night an immense slide of snow suddenly came sweeping down the ; mountain and erushed the cabin. The cabin, with its dead. was swept away on the river. None of the bodies has yet been found. SCIENTIFIC SCRAPS. DRr. SCHLIEMANN found in the ruihs‘ of Troy pottery vessels that had been carefully turned on a wheel. ; THE telescope was discovered by the children of a lens maker who were playing with a couple of lenses. IT is now well known that flounders and other flat fishes, whose eyes are on the left side of the head, and which swim on one side, are, when young, perfectly symmetrical, like other fishes. DR. ZEIGLER, a German scientist, declares that photographs of the sun, taken daily, will enable a person to closely predict the weather. Circulars or elliptical halos around the orb of day indicate violent storms.. v ~ Georocists find that the Juniata river, by reason of its course and fall, affords a wonderfully comprehensive view of the geological formations through which it flows. To follow its course with the hammer is to obtain geological samples to be obtained so easily afield in no other way. : PROFOUNDLY to be commiserated is that child who looks upon his home as upon a prison house; uponhis youth as a season of hardship; upon his parents
