ho sent his wife (a most estimablelady')

About three weeks ago he Introduced
Into his home a dashing joung widow

had In a moment of mental aberatlon
taken to his bosom. Thus ruining oue

took legal stops for securing tho School

we may add that the property left is

The men employed by tho Pennsyl
vania Coal Company, nt a public meet'
Ing held Monday morning at an early
bour, voted to remain out until tnotrae
mands are acceded to. The meeting
was called by the Chairman, P. Swee
ney, and was attended by about 1,000
miners and laborers. 1 ho object of the
meeting was to consider tha reply ot
President Hoyt to their recent demand
of 'ii per cent, advance In their wages,
and to take action thereon. Besides the
Pennsylvania Coal Company's employes
there were present at least 200 or 300
outsiders, a few ot whom were drawn
thither by curiosity, but most of whom
came In the capacity of " bull-dozers,"
In which they subsequently demonstra
ted great prcnciency. The men sat up
on the crass In large sweeping circles
facing the Chairman, who stood in the
centre and exercised remarkable Influ
ence In keeping order. After the Pres
Ident nad stated the object of the meet

ot the various collieries represented be
held, apart, as a conclusion would thus
be arrived at mat would be worth some

In favor of a strike and seven In fnvor

ly chosen to notify tho company of this
decUlon, ai d, as President Hoyt wrote
that thero would be no work whatever
unless the great majority ot the miners
request it, tho situation Is clearly de
