Pennsylvania news.
THE BIG MINERS'
STRIKE IS ON
The Important Pittsburg District Takes
v Action.
PENNSYLVANIA REQIONS IN LINE
Circular ofthe (Jcncrnl Officers oftlio
United Mi no Workers Approvcd--I'robnblo
i:ircct of tlio Striko In
Various States.
rittsburg, .July 4. A resolution to
strike wns unanimously adopted by
thu miners' convention here yesterday
afternoon, and a general supenslon
will he ordeifd at once.
It was the largest convention of conl
miners over held In this district. It
met to take action on the strike clrcul
ar sent out by the general ofllcers of
the United Mine Workers a few days
ago. Nothing had been done when the
convention adjourned for luncheon,
but President Dolan said that the com
mittee on resolutions had prepared a
reiKrt favoring a strike, and this
would b? presented this afternoon.
The feeling among the delegates, he
said, was strongly In favor of a strike,
nnd the resolutions would be adopted.
It turned out ns he predicted.
A strike afnog the coal miners In
the Pittsburg district will Involve
twenty-one thousand men. Manv
of these, however, have not been work
ing regularly for some time. In the
Clearlleld district twenty-live thousand
miners are employed when the mines
are running, and District President
Dolan says the whole district will also
go out.
The number of men In other states
who are concerned In the present strike,
so far as can bo estimated, are as fol
lows: Ohio, 23,000 men; Illnols, 40,000
men; Indiana, !i,000. nnd In West Vir
ginia about 22,000, a total of 142,000 all
told. The miners employed In the vicin
ity of Greensburg will not Join the
strike, but, on the contrary, are pre
paring for a l ush of work. The Greens
burg, Madison, Ilemplleld and Carbon
coal companies employ about fifteen
hundred men who have never been
ldentllled with the n ners' union and
have nlways been paid the highest
scale of wages. The miners are mostly
Americans, and many of them own
their own homes In that vicinity.
The Inauguration of the strike means
steady work for them and ns much of
It as they can perform. During the
general strike of two years ago the
miners and operators of Greensburg
literally coined money, and their ex
perience at that time is guiding the
men now.
District President Dolan today re
ceived the following telegram from Na
tional President M. D. Ratchford:
Columbus. Ohio, July 3. We are out
for living wages. The Issue must be
met squarely and determinedly, and
success will attend the greatest move
ment the country has ever seen.

PENNSYLVANIA REGIONS.
Miners in Parts of ThW Great Conl
State Arc Already on Strike.
Phllllpsburg, Pa., July 4. Tho striko
called by tho United Mine Workers'
oillclnls wll not affect the miners In the
Central Pennsylvania coal regluns, in
some portions of which seveial hun
dred miners have been on btrlke
against a 11! per cent reduction for a
month, notably nt Galltzen and
Barnesboro, in Cambria county. Should
the operators In the towns named suc
ceed In forcing n reduction, it Is be
lieved tho reduction wll become gen
eral In tho Clearlleld nnd Bench Creek
regions at nil mines. Operators In this
vicinity express tho opinion that the
general striko In the west will not
cause nny great Increase in output or
advnnce In price, for the reason that
shipments aru all to eastern markets
except, possibly, in tho Uubols-Uoy-nnldsvllle
district, from which a large
quantity of coal Is sent to lake points.

and Pittsburg Coul and Iron company
miners are working at all places to
Jay, except nt Heynoldsvllle, wheio
they are Idle on account of holiday ob

work only about half tho time during

ing company mines nt Brockport. Cren

several davs on account of a cut from
forty to thirty cents.
Altoona, Penn., July 4. Up to the

working under n pool agreement mode
by tho Pennsylvania operators a year

though the pool has fallen through nnd
tho operators nre receiving less for

tion of such action Just now, it will be
merely a sympathetic strike.

Weir City, Kans., July 4. No strike
has been ordered among the miners of

It Is said, although most of them are

grlovanco except scarcity of work. In
1803 they were out on a long and dis
astrous striko and since then they have
remained at work regardless of eastern
disturbances.

ELOPERS C0A1E TO GRIEP.
Festive 1'nlr Arrested at Frisco on n
Clinrgo of Atlultry.
San Francisco, July 4. Tho elope
ment of Mrs. John Bradbury nnd H.
Russell Ward, of Los Angeles, aroused
the San Francisco Society for the Pre
vention of Vice. When Secretary Kane
rend thnt Mrs. Uradbury alluded to her
elopement with a married man nnd her
Journey across the state with him,
locked in a Pullman drawing room car,
drinking whiskey, as a romance, he de
termined to act.
Mrs. Bradbury seemed to glory In her
shame and appeared absolutely Incapa
ble of appreciating her position. Hence
Secretary Knno decided to administer
a rebuke, and this afternoon he had
warrants sworn out for the arrest of
the woman and Ward for adultery.
Mrs. Bradbury was arrested at C o'clock
and Ward soon after. They were taken
before Police Judge Low, who allowed
tho woman to go on her own recog
nizance, but held Ward In default of
$2,000 bonds or $1,000 cash ball. It Is
thought the woman will arrange to go
on Ward's bond.
The law provides that any one living
In open nnd notorious adultery may be
punished by a fine of $1,000 or Impris
onment for one year or both. Another
law provides that If two persons, each
married, live together in open and no
torious adultery, each is guilty of a
felony nnd Is punishable by conllne
meqt In state prison for not exceeding
live years.

ators who voted for the treaty repre
sented a majority of the people and
tho bulk of the intelligence of the Unit
ed States.
Dr. Mllburn made no reply to this
nppeal but In the course of his ad
dress he said Hint the descendants of
Englishmen In tho United States were

ence. In tho course of the evening, repre
sentatives of tho Women's Press league
of Chicago, presented portraits of

they had had. Most of them were com
mon, everyday red-lanterns of the
town, who had made a special effort to
emblazon things Saturday night.
Five of the prisoners were secured
in a batch in Lll Henry's notorious
place in Centre street.
His Honor showed his unpatrlotlsm
by treating nil ns common, ordinary
unfortunntes. Here nre the martyrs:
George Corren, who was drunk and
paid $3 for the privilege of being ar
rested by Patrolmen Day and Delter.
George Is a Laceyvllle blacksmith.
Domlnlck Gilmartln was singing
"God Save the Queen" on Adams ave
nue and Patrolman Iteese Jones and
Matthews thought It didn't sound
right. He left $3.
Robert Hogers argued with Patrol
man Day the ethics of chasing a man
from the street, and the verdL't was
in favor of the affirmative $3.
"One man," who left no other name,
also $2, refused to go home with his
wife, and Patrolman Reese Jones and
Patrolman Haag taught him a lesson
by a temporary divorce from her.
Bridget Morlarlty, a woman, was ar
rested early In the evening by Patrol
men Dyer and McMullen and she left
$4 as a secuiity. Forty-five minutes
by the clock Inter she was again ar

On Saturday morning the patrol
wagon was called out to gather In a
"heavy drunk." After being brought
to the station house. Desk Sergeant
Delter and the patrolman proceeded
to carry the patient in, leaving the
