The Great Fire in the United Mine Is Lxtinsuislied at Last. THE EKIE EAILROAD IS BLOCKADED TSrrCtAtTELXCHAMTOTDE DISPATCH, t , PnrLLir-SBUKG, Jan. L TJp to this af ternoon the rupture between the operators in this region and the miners had assumed a very serious aspect, and a strike seemed inevitable. The demands made at the con vention recently had at Altoona by the delegation of miners had been resented by the operators after due and serious delibera tion? on their part, in conference at Phila delphia Tuesday, they deciding that no ad ances or concessions would be made. The reasons Tor this decision arc said to be the prospects of the comine year, owinj to the depression of trade generally, and competi tion Jrora other resions, working at lower prices, would not warrant the increase asked for. The deliberating firms resolved not to comply with tlie'demand made. In response to the reply made by the opera tors, a mas meeting was called or the miners of Phillipsburc. Osceola and Beech creek, Ivnown as division A. in tills city this afternoon. The building was crowded, and many were not able to enter. It was very evident that there w as a division on the matter of a strike, many of those present insisting that whatever action tas taken it should be done independent of any other district. The 3Ilners Greatly Excited. A Committee on Kesolutions was appointed, and while it was considering the best manner to present certain information that had just come to hand, the crowd became excited, and it was with difficulty sometime; the Chairman was able to preserve order. The following res olutions were then presented by the committee: WucncAfe, The Altoona convention decided to mike a demand for 5 cents a ton advance, an t while we, vour committee, think that the in mi are entitled to the advance we do not 1 ln-ve ft would bo advisable for this meeting l' '--p a striki-: therefore, Eeso' 'd. That the question of coming ont ike to enforce the demand for the ad vance be referred to the men at each minem this district, and that they send the vote to the miners' agent not later than Slondar. Janu ar i On motion, the foregoing was nnammouslj adopted. hereas. The Executive Board of Division 2 Ins received assurances that the operators will meet the board to adjust their grievances, and the board has already ordered the miners back to work pending settlement: therefore. Resolved, That we act in conjunction with the miners of District . il. Dill, of Clearfield, has been doing bis utmost as mediator between the miners and operators, and just prior to the meeting the following telegram was received from him, which influenced the committee in the forma tion of the above resolutions: "Clearfield, Jan. 1. "If the men at Houtzdale strike, it will be in violation of resolutions sent to rue that th-y would not strike until they had exhausted all efforts through me to prevent a strike. Now. in God's name 1 ask you to keep the men at work until I can have the operators meet them. Then, if matters cannot be satisfactorily ad justed, I will be with the men to the death. A strike now would mean rum to all business in this part of the country, and much suffering to the families of the miners. Yon cannot con sistently do it until through me you have ex hausted all possible efforts to settle all existing difficulties." THE TJKITED FIBE OUT.

The largo majority of people suffer more or less from im pure blood given them by their parents. Second, Scrofula1 may be acquired by trying to live on insufficient and .poorly-cooked food, which fails to supply the blood with enough of the elements ot life and hoalth. Third, confinement in poorly ventilated rooms, workshops or factories, or living In damp, unhealthy localities, will poison the blood and develop Scrofula. For all Cases Of scrofula, whether Inherited or acquired, and in whatever form. Hood's Sarsaparilla is the most successful medicine known. It thoroughly expels every trace of impurity, gives tbe blood those elements of health and vitality which it craves, and helps the liver ana kidneys, tbe great sewers ot the system, to perform their natural dmie.
