A committee representing the mining engineers, pump runners and firemen employed lu the collieries of the Dela ware and Hudson canal com nan v. at Carbondale, at the head of the Lacka wanna valley, waited on the presideut of the company, Mr. Thomas Dickson, In Scranton, Monday, to asceitain It the company would make some com promise with the operatives, who have oeen mie two months. Mr. Dickson. who postponed a visit to New Yotk for the purposu of granting the committee an audience, received them very kindly, but Informed them that If work would be resumed it must be by the men themselves, as the company had no terms to offer. Tlio ruining machinery of the Delaware and Hudson company at Carbondale has been Idle since the, Inauguration of the strike, and ma or tue mines nave accumulated quantities of water, so that It will take some titue to place (hem In working order once more. The miners, although they had no control over the matter, it knln , I, . . 1. .. , ... , uciiit sun vvuitk ut a eemruiu urgumzn, tinn. realize that thn Blnnnanu nf Mm mine pumps at that and other points nas materially injured their prospects; 1 al. . 111 ... . . and they will doubtless be pleased to see the mine machinery at work once more. It Is expected that the Interview with President Dickson will be the means of startine the numns. and uro bably, hastening a resumption of active milling operations at lhe several collier ies 01 ine iieiaware and Hudson com pany. This corporation has a large quantity of coal on hand at Ilonesdale, and the general inanaRer.Col, V. Young, states that until that Is disDosed of there will be no anxiety to commence working the mines. The collieries ot the Delaware, Lackawanna and West ern railroad have not vet resumed despite the strouc military nrotentlon on hand. The men seem strongly utiited and the odium which attaches to the name ol a black ec still holds them back. It would seem as if starvation has less terrors for them than resumnt- iou under tbe existing state of affairs Special Notice There will be a concreuatlonal meet Ing In the 1st l'resbyterion Church of tins ooroiich, on Wednesday evenlnc October 8d, Immediately after the usual prayer n.eeiing,fur the purpose of elect ing tnree trustees and such-other bnsl nesi as niBy bo brought before the meeting. uy order of tbe Hoard, ruiLLir Milleii, tjic'y Republican Count)' Convention.
