THE STRIKE ENDS
The Miners Hare Accepted
a Compromise
RECENTLY MADE BY OFFICERS
They Will Itetarn to Work Soon--Twenty-one
Corpses at Baz
elton. Pennsylvania.
CpLCMBua, O., Sept. 11. The miners'
etrike, which waa declared on July 4th,
was brought to an end this evening so
far at leaet. as Western Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana and West Virginia are
. concerned, by the action of the conven
tion of miners, who have been in session
since Wednesday. After a day of voting
and wrangling, the convention voted to
accept the proposition of the Pittsburg
operators. The vote was 495 for, and 317
against, accepting the terms .of settle
ment, and eleven votes were not cast.
. The delegation from Illinois, which had
250 votes, was unanimously against the
settlement, and Indiana and Wesft Vir
ginia voted solidly to accept the propo
sition, but there, were scattering votes
among the Ohio and Pennsylvania men,
against it. The resolution is as follows :
"Resolved, That we, the .miners' of
Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio In-!
diana and Illinois, in convention as
sembled, do hereby agiee to - accept the
proposition recommended by our nation
al executive committee, viz: sixtv-five
cents in the Pittsburg district, and ail
places in the abovS named states, where
the relative price can be obtained, to
resume' work and contribute liberally
to the miners who will not receive the
advance, over which the fight must be
continued to the bitter, end.
"Resolved, That the officers of the ex
ecutive board and the district president,
act as advisory board for the purpose of
providing ways and means for the carry
on of the strike where . necessary, pro
vided, however, that no district 'resume
work for ten days, for the purpose of giv
ing the miners in other districts time to
confer with the operators -and get the
price if possible."
While ten days is provided for the
miners to resume work, it is probable
that many Ohio and Pittsbnrg .. mines
will be reopened on Monday. The Illi
nois men will be called ' in conven
tion at Springfield, on September 19th,
to determine whst shall be done in
that state. A resolution was . adopted
denouncing the action of the deputies
in firing into the striking miners
at Hazelton.
The Wounded and Dead.
Ha2eltox, Pa., Sept. 11. Twenty-one
corpses lie tonight in the frame shanties
scattered about this hilltop town. Forty
maimed, wounded and broken figures
are lying on the the narrow cots- 6f the
Hazelton hospital. Of these it is almost
a certainty that five will be added to the
death list before another"' day dawns.
Such was the execution done yesterday,
by the deputies sheriff, armed to the
. teeth, upon about about 150 ignorant
foreigners, whose total armanent con-
. sisted of two little penknives. These
facta are undisputed.
A Proclamation. -
Harkisbukg, Pa., Sept. 11. On ac
count of the horrible slaughter yester
day afternoon at Latimer, in the coal
region, Governor Hastings tonight is
sued a proclamation, calling on all good
citizens to preserve. peace.

twent-eix paseengers, but most of them
went ashore at Port Townsend, and took
boats for different .sbund points. Cap
tain Zaddart places the amount of gold
brought down by the South Coast, at
$350,000, but from information gathered
from miners, returning here, it is be
litived that this amount is to high by at
least $200,000. The miners will not say
how mnch their clean-up has been, but
it is safe to place the amount aboard the
South Coast, at less than $100,000.
The most important news brought by
the South Coast, is the safe arrival at
St. Michaels, of the river steamer P.
B. Weare, which stuck on a sand bar for
over two weeks below Circle City. The
arrival ot the Weare will be good news
to the people of Dawson City, who . are
threatened with a famihe this winter.
When the South Coast left the Weare
was loading supplies, and it was expect
ed she would leave np the river in a day
or two, with a 500-ton cargo. Her voy
age up should not consume more than
twentv-five.days, which would put into
Dawson City by September 25th. The
Weare's cargo consisted almost entirely
of provisions and the 500, tons she will
take in, will materially assist in reliev
ing the threatened famine.
C. T. Rupel, one of the South Coast
passengers, brought down $8,000 in dust
and nuygets. J. H. Light $18,000.
Rupel says, not one man in a hundred,
of those who have gone in this season
will get claims' as all the country is
staked off. One of the passengers on
the South Coast was J. T. Lea, of this
city. Speaking of the amount of money
which the South Coast brought down he
said:
"The actual amount has been greatly
exaggerated. I am acquainted with
every man on board, and had a good
knowledge of what they brought - back,
and I am certain the total amount is not
over $00,000. There were not four' men
on board who bad as much as $5000
each. In fact, the most of the passen
gers were men who had worked squall
claims, and a majority had from $300 to
$1000 in gold."
A Small Craft.
Port Townsend,' Sept. 11. At . 7
o'clock this evening the schooner Janus,
an eight-ton craft from Astoria, tied up
at the wharf here. She carries twelve
men and seven tons above her registered
capacity of provisions, and is bound for
Copper riveri The- passengers all hail
from San Francisco and Oakland, and
are outfitted with provisions for a two
years' stay.
The Eliza Anderson Safe.
Seattle, ept. 11. Captain J. B. Lib
by, manager of the Puget Sound Tugboat
Co., today received a letter on the South
Coast from Capt.. Frank W. dinger, of
the tag Holyoke, who has in tow the
barge Politofski, bound for St. Michaels.
The Jetter is dated Dutch harbor,
August 31st. Regarding the sidewheet
steamer Eliza Anderson, which was in
! company with the Holyoke ana reported
to uo in uJBiresB, me letter says: ine
Anderson reached St. Paul harbor1 in
perfect safety, and her detention is oc
casioned by "her taking on coal .there."

THK ErfPOBI.V TRAIN WRECK.
The 1.1st of Victims In the Wreck Nnm-
hers Sixteen.
.Emporia, Kan., Sept. 11. Tonight
it is believed that the number of deaths
duetto the train .wreck of Wednesday
will be sixteen. . Engineer Frisbee -died
in the hospital at Topeka today. To
night, a force of 100 men engaged in the
work of removing the debris of the
wreck, recovered the charred remains of
two more bodies. They were found not
far from where the body of a woman
was found this morning. ; Owing to the1
stench coming frum the wreck, it is
thought more bodies may be there. One
of those found today was burned beyond
identification, bqt with the other body
was found a short bosom pin and a stud.
This is thought to be the body of an en-
from the East who was riding in the cab
of the westbound train.
Indigeston is often taken for con
sumption. The word consumptoin
means wasting away, and dyspeptics
often waste away as badly as consump
tives.
The reason people waBte away is be
cause either they don't get enough to
eat, or they don't digest what they do
eat.
If the latter is your trouble, take
Shaker Digestive Cordial. This ' will
help you to digest your food and stop
your loss of flesh.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is nlade
from herbs, barks and the juices of fruit,
by the well-known Shakers at Mount
Lebanon. It possess great tonic and
digestive powers.
Shaker Digestive Cordial has cured
many supposed consumptiyes (who
were really dyspeptics), by simply help
ing their stomachs to digest their' food,
thus giving them nourishment and new
strength.
