Columbus, O., Sept. 14.— The great
miners’ strike, which was declared on
July 4, was brought to an end this
evening, so far, at least, as Western
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and West
Virginia are concerned, by the action
of the convention of miners which has
been in session since Wednesday. After
a day of voting and wrangling, the con
vention voted to accept the proposition
of the Pittsburg operators. The vote
was 495 for and 31? against uccepting
the terms of settlement, and 11 votes
were not cast. The delegates from Il
linois, who had 250 votes, were unani
mously against the settlement; Indiana
and West Virginia voted solidly to ac-
eept the pro|>osition, but there were
scattering votes among Ohio and Penn
sylvania against it. The resolution is
as follows:
“ Resolved, That we, the miners of
Pennsylvania,West Virginia, Ohio, In
diana and Illinois, in coni ention assem
bled, do hereby agree to accept the
proposition recommended by our na
tional executive council, viz , 65 cents
in Pittsburg district and all places in
the above-named states where a relative
price can be obtained, to resume work
anil contribute liberally to the miners
who w lil not receive the advance, over
which the fight must be continued to a
bitter end.
“ Resolved, That the national officers
of the executive board and district
presidents act as an advisory board for
tiie purpose of providing ways and
means for the carrying on of the strike
where necessary; provided, however,
that no district resume work for 10
days, for the purpose of giving miners
in other districts time to confer with
the operators and get the price, if pos
sible.”
The Illinois men w ill be called in
convention at Springfield,September 19,
to determine what shall be done in
that state.
A resolution was adopted denouncing
the action of the deputies in firing into
the striking miners at Hazelton.

Memphis, Sept. 14.— A special to the
Commercial-Appeal from
Hatiburn,
Ark., says: A most disastrous freight
wreck occurred on the Iron Mountain
railroad, at Hanson, I. T., a small sta
tion 20 miles west of Van Buren, at 2
o’clock today, resulting in the death of
seven men and the serious injury of
£ix others, two of whom will die. The
dead are: W ill Frame, Charles Frame,
Douglass Anderson, John Johnson, Bose
Henderson, Frank Hamilton and H. A.
Walton.
Of the wounded two suffered inter
nal injuries. A ll of the dead and
wounded were sent to Vian, with the
exception of Walton’s body, it being
brought to this place, where he has rel
atives living. None of the trainmen
were hurt.
While the train was running at a
speed of 20 miles an hour, the forward
trucks of one of the cars near the en
gine broke, wrecking 15 cars with wal
nuts and baled hay. W ith the excep
tion of two cars in front and three in
the rear, including the caboose, every
car of the 20 in the train was ditched.
The middle of the train was a car load
ed with heavy machinery, and it was
in this car that 13 men were stealing a
ride. The occupants of the wrecked car
were a party of men and boys living in
Vian, who were coming to Van Buren
to find employment in the cotton fields.
