TUt; rUBLIU WILL FAT t the Eight H,tif Law is Adopted in the Anthracite fields It Will Cost the Consumers ol Coal Between Five and Six Million Dollars Annually The Williamsport Sun says: John Mitchell, president of the United Mine Workers cf America, is strengthening the union in prepara tion for trouble. That trouble is expected to en'er the anthracite region next spring when the mm ers shall demand an eight hour day which the operators declare they will not grant. In anticipation cf a strike the coal operators are storing coal. Thus it is apparent that a long and bitter strike will be pre cipitated, with the general public as the victims, who will be ground beneath the upper and nether mill stones. How this conflict can be avoided is not perceptible to the public at present. Everything points to the greatest and longest strike in the record of the anthra cite region. The operators assert that if they concede the miners de maud for an eight hour day it will mean an addition of between $5,- 000,000 and $6,000,000 a year to the wages of the mine workers The companies would have to pay this, bi t only as the disbursing agents of the consumers of coal. Every dollar of the amount would have to come out of the pockets of the users of anthracite, for the coal companies would clap on an addi tional fifty cents per ton to reim burse themselves for the extra out lay. And the public would be helpless. This would be another case ot the public be d d, or frozen. Weak Throats THE LINCOLN PABTY The first convention of the Lin coln party w.as held in Philadel phia on Monday. More than two thirds ot the counties in the state were represented. This party starts out as the avowed enemy of graft, and with the declared purpose of defeating J. Lee Plummer, the republican candidate for state treasurer. The executive com mittee was organized with Henry C. Niles of York as chairman. They nominated a ticket consisting of the regular Republican candi dates for the Supreme and Superior courts, aud W. H. Berry for state treasurer, he being the non'inee of Democratic and Prohibition parties. The convention was made up of men who have been prominent in the Republican party, but who are tired of the mismanagement of the Republican state organization, and ot gratt in every phase. A vigorous campaign will be conducted. THE PENSION RO.L At It's Highest and Will Now Decline According to the annual report of Pension Commissioner Warner for the fiscal year ended June 30, the pension roll reached the maxi mum number in its history iu Jan nary last, the number being 1,004, 196. The roll passed the million mark in September of last year, and gradually increased fqr the next four months. The decline began with the first of last Febru ary, and by the following May had dropped below the million mark. At the end of the year the number of pensioners had declined to 998, 44t, a net increase for the year of 3.679- The report shows the following additional facts: The annual value of the pension roll on June 30, 1905, was $136, 745,295. By the term "annual value" is meant the amount of money required to pay the pension ers then on the roll for one year. On June 30, 1905, the roll con tained the names of 684,608 sur vivors of the civil war, a decrease ot over 6,000 from the previous year. 1 The total amount disbursed for pensions lor the fiscal year was $141,142,861, of which $3,409,998 was paid to pensioners of the Span- sli war. The total amount paid to Span ish war pensioners since 1889 is $11,999,198. The total amount of money paid for pensions since the foundation of the government is $3,300,860,022, and of this amount $3, 144, 39,405 has been, paid on account of the civil war. The total number of claims allowed, original and in crease, under order number 78, known as "the age order" since that order went into effect, April 3, 1904, up to Tune 30, 1905, was 65,612. Beading to Make Its Own Locomotives Ten large freight engines of the latest style will be buiit in the near future bv the Philadelphia and Reading Railway Company at its shops at Reading. With these engines and with the order for ten locomotives to be erected by the Baldwin Loccmotive works, the motive power of the company will be sufficiently increased to take care of the heavy freight traffic which the company has at the present time and which the officials say will continue throughout the winter and far into the spring. Ibis will be the hrst time in many years that the company has erected .engines in its own shops and if the venture proves a success, the shops at Reading will be enlarg ed so that the best part of the motive power machines can be erected there. The construction of th6 locomotives by the railway com pany emphasizes the fact that a new policy is being adopted. The Pennsylvania Railroad turns out as fine locomotive engines in its shops at Altoona as are built in th country and will in the near future erect a number of electric locomo tives on the style of the one turned out about three weeks ago which is now in the Westinghouse Electric plant at Pittsburg, having electric apparatus installed. Typhoid at Nanticuke The outbreak of typhoid fever at Nanticoke has caused some little alarm at Danville whose drinking water is obtained from the very river into which Nanticoke dis charges its sewage. Physicians, however, see very little cause for fear, unless all sanitary advice is disregarded in the up-the-river town by those who have care of the fever patients. It might be added however, that the physicians are a unit as to the necessity of boiling water used lor drinking purposes just now as a precaution against disease from general sources. Ayer's Pills greatly aid recovery. Purely vegetable, gently laxative. O ; BswitU I BlfUAtBIt I of ITOI The Kind Yon Haw Always Columbia County Bar Assooiatnn. Pursuant to a call issued by Col. ohn G. Freeze, a meeting of the members of the Bar was held in the Court Room on Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The meeting was pre sided over by Col. Freeze, Presi dent of the Bar Association. There were present also Capt. J. B. Robi- son, Robert 5. iiow.ll, J. H. Maize, Geo. E. Elwell. N. U. Funk, A. L. Fritz, William Chrisman, R. R.John H. R. Stees, C. R. Weiss, W. D. Beckley, A. W. Duy, H. A. McKillip, II. Mont. Smith, and C. C. Yetter. The circular calling the meeting was read by Geo. E. Elwell, secretary. Col. Freeze stated more fully the objects of the call. There are many things, he said, in connection with the Bar, that need attention. The lawyers apparently have no social inter course, and no place to have it. The law library is too small and the adjoining waiting room is occu pied by the public when court is in session. In the court room the chairs inside the rail are usually occupied by persons attracted only by curiosity, and lawyers who come in to transact business, can either stand up or go out. He also suggested that the rules of the Bar Association be amended as to the time of its regular meet ings, and that a committee be ap pointed to solicit all the lawyers in the county who are not members of the Bat Association, to join it. Mr. Small suggested that a good way to arouse new interest and a more brotherlv feeling among the lawyers would be to have an annua banquet. He moved that a com mittee be appointed by the chair to amend the rules, also a committee to solicit new members. In regard to changes that might be made in the arrangement of rooms for the better convenience of the Bar aud the public, remarks were made by Messrs. Robisou. Howell, John, Duy, Weiss. Mc Killip, Smith, Chrisman and Elwell. Mr. John moved that the chairman be authorized to consult with the court and the commissioners con cerning any desiraMe changes to be made. On motion it was voted that the court be requested to make an order excluding the reneral public from inside the rail in the Court room, and that the necessary changes in the rail be asked for. On motion the meeting adjourned to meet on the first Monday of October, at 2 o'clock p. m. iu the court room.
