GEVER AT LOGANSPORT. The Trail of the aliasing Pietzel Boy Do. Ifnveil to He Tiiere. Looansi'out, Aug. 13.

The search lor missing Howard Fietzel, which was abauuoned at Indianapolis two weeks ago, was resumed here yesterday by Detective Geyer and Inspector W. E.

It has always been known for some time that Mrs.

Holmes, who had been requested by her Husband to meet him at Detroit, came by way of Logansport. Holmes joined nor on the way, but at what point is not definitely kuown. in a re-coiit interview lie claimed to haVe tin-braided his wife for coming by way of Logausporc, which is tno longor route and required more mileage, but this us-6orcion lias been couotrued largely in tho datura of a play to mislead and attention away from this place. Detecuvo Geyer is unueoided yet whether to thiuu that Holiuos brought all three of th Fietzel cnuuren here, or that he cams with Howard alone, mid after murdering him, returned to Indianapolis and eseorteu the two girls to uetroit. lie gives tho Chicago authorities unsiiuteu praise for the active work they have done on tlie case, and sa-s the public gouerally has evinced a vry gratiiyiug desne to aid in lerretiug cat the crimes of which Holmes stands accused.

13. There are strong indications that the 800 miners employed at tho coal operations on Loup creek, in Fuyetto county, will go on a stnko within a very few days. Tho men are paid 55 cents per car of coal mined in room and TO cents per car of entry coal. They claim that tho car holds uear.y three tons, though supposed to. contain only two.

They demand that tho car measurement shall cease and that tho operators put in scales, but continue the preseut rates for mining. The operators claim that the cars now iu use hold only one and seven-tenths tons and th.vt consequently the tonnage rate on Lonp creok is 32.35 cents and 41.18 cents per ton according to tho character of tno work necessary to mine coal. This is 3 cents per tou more than is paid for mining on the Kanawha and New rivers, though tho Lonp cieek vein is of much greater thickness. Despito tho better prices paid, it is claimed that owing to tlie superior thickuess of the vein on the creek, the operators thoie sell their coal at a better profit than the Kanawha and New river operators. Thoy claim that tho present trouble is iuo to tho agitation incited by tho latter, who have been constantly handicapped by their inability to compete with Loup creek coal.

A delegate convention of New liver and Loup creek miners will be held ruis week, probably Thursday, to discuss rhe situation all its bearings, aud it is probablo that final action will be taken at that time.
