CUTAWAY HARROWS
Philadelphia, Oct. 17.—The
-great strike of the anthracite mine
workers of Pennsylvania, which
began Sept. 17, practically ended
to-day, when the Philadelphia and
Heading Coal and Iron Company
and the Lehigh Valley Coal Com
pany agreed to abolish the sliding
scale in their respective regions
and to grant an advance in wages
of 10 per cent, net, the advance
to remain in operation untii April
1, 1901, or thereafter.
This action meets the demands
of the Scranton Miners’ Conven
tion. The decision was arrived at
after a conference between repre-
senatives of the individual coal
operators and the large coal-carry
ing companies. The conference
began yesterday.
To-day’s action was the culmi
nation of the recent meeting of the
individual operators at Scranton
following the mineworkers conven
tion in ithe same 'city. Nearly ^all
of the collieries in the coal region
had, previous to the mine-workers
convention, posted notices grant
ing ah advance of 10 per cent.
The mine-workers, in considering
this demanded that the sliding
scale iu the Lehigh and Schuyl
kill districts be abolished, the in
crease to be guaranteed until
April 1, 1901, and all other differ
ences be submitted to arbitration.
The individual operators agreed
to everything, and the appoint
ment of a committee to induce

own, a young Pennsylvanian, who
is said to have squandered $400,-
000 in two years in California, has
gone to his ranch near Nogales.
All his property in Los Angeles
has been attacked and he has de
termined to begin life anew as a
cattle ranch el*. McKeown mar
ried Dorothy Studebaker of the
famous wagon-making family.
McKeown first appeared in Los
Angeles two years ago where he
soon gained a reputation as a high
roller. In May 1898, he first met
Miss Studebaker, who was travel
ing with her mother. He became
infatuated and proposed on the
very day he became of-age. She
accepted conditionally, but her
mother insisted that she should
complete her education. So Me-.
Keown lived in Los Angeles while
she attended school m, San Fran
cisco. Much of his time he spent
on the railroad between the two
cities. Finally they were mar
ried and went to live in Los An
geles. McKeown’s extravagance
had scattered his fortune and a
few days ago attachments were
levied on everything. Then Mc
Keown departed for his ranch,
first making oyer to his young
wife the $250 monthly allowance
which his relatives in Pittsburg
settled on him when they learned
that ho had squandered his for
tune. ‘ •
