The heat yesterday reached the top notch
of the season The exact markings of the

fice show the maximum temperature to have
been 99,3 degrees , really too close to the 100
mark for comfort. The point was reached
about 2 o'clock. The cooler weather promised

rain The area of high barometer

, Pa . July S The clcve of the
third day of the miners' strike finds the dig
gers Riming ftrensth rapidly In the Pitts-
burg district , elating the official * and men
correspondingly. The net reault of the strug
gle up to date , as gleaned from unbiased as
well a from partisan source * . Is about as
follows :
Nineteen thousand men are idle ; an almost
total suspension of work In the mines along
th Monongahela river ; suhpcnslon practically
total on the Wheeling division of the Haiti-
more & Ohio railroad , only about fifty men
working there , all of the railroad mlnffl
closed down with the exception of the M A.
Hanna & Co mines along the Panhandle , the
New York and Cleveland G a a Coal company
and n few Individual mlnet > . which can have
but little effect upon the situation.
The Hanna minis have about one-third of
their Usual number of mcti at work and this
slight Increase over vcsterday appears to be
the on ! ) advantage the operators have gained.
The coming out of the men along the Haiti-
more & Ohio \e \ a ditidod victor ) fer the
miners , because thtfrc men were working
under an Ironclad agreement , and by their
loyalty to their brethren forfeit $ S,000 in
wages which the- company holds out.
The situation ab to the supply of coal can
not be called serious as yet , because there
are from twelve to fifteen million ) of
bushels In stock at the various pools pjong
the river whlth can be placed In this tlty at
short notice , and If need bo a portion of ft
could be shipped to the lakes
I'p to the piesont time no sign of lawlcfs-
nts-j has developed among the strlkeio and
no evidence whatever that tht-re will be
Tomorrow- promises to be a day of decided
action on the part of the miners. H Is re
ported that a meeting has been FtludtiUd
between President Hatchford of the Mine
Workers' association and President Gompe'B
of the Federation of Labor in this city , and
th" miners' olllclal announced that a BJS-
Umatlc movement will be started to bring
out the diggers now at work for the New
York and Cleveland Coal company.
The meeting between Itatchford and
Gompers will bo important , as plans foi
carrying on the strike to ultimate success
i are to be discussed It Is claimed that one
' of the principal topics will be a scheme to
raise funds from which It la proposed to
' pay all the miners that are now working
I full time , in order to Induce them to make
the tie up complete. It is said that Presi
dent Gompers will offer to raise a fund of
$00.000 per week to assist the strikers In
their struggle
I The miners' officials are likely to meet
with a serious stumbling block In their
efforts to induce the miners of the New-
York and Cleveland Gas Coal compan ) to
join In < he movement , notwithstanding their
confident insertion that these men will be
out before Sunday night ne\t. A visit to
the Jiiines today discloses the fact that a
large number of the men aie opposed to
striking at this time , because of their con
tract agreement. The officials of the com
pany say the men have given positive as
surances that they will remain and they are
In no wise alarmed over the claim of the
miners' leaders that they will have the
men out before the week closes

It Is safe to say that the amount of coal

Haltlmore & Ohio railroad would not fill one

people living In that section. A number of

of them In the pits of the Plttf'uirg & Chicago

onville. but today It is doubtful if the dig
gers at work along the whole line would
number fifty , all of theo at the Gastonville

There was a doubt as to whether or not the

day Tuesday , but this baa been dispelled and
the foieigners seem as enthusiastic as any
on the strike question.
Miners on Iho line have been anxiously
watching the diggers of the Pittsburg < t
Chicago company at Gastonville and Snow-
den Up to today U was a matter of doubt
whether or not they would como out These
men have all been working under the iron

The miners' officials were elated over their

Is true and an attempt Is made to resume

ever. that a fufllclent number of men can
