A man who removes and owes ike

The Pay of Miners.
A dcspatclt from Hazleton, dated the
fith, says: Since tlio December 12th
conference of tho miners nnd laboters,
held at Pottsville, considerable trcplda-1
tlon has existed In tho minds of the j
business men of the Lehigh region. At
that conference a resolution was passed
inviting the Coal Exchanges of the
Schuylkill, Wyoming;, Scranton nnd
Lehigh regions to a conference, to take
place nt some day previous to January
10, 18S0, for the purpose .of nrranglng n
uniform system of basis wages for the
year nnd to form themsches Into a
committee or board of arbitration for
the purpose of settling all difficulties
that might nrlse from time to lime
between the employers and employes:
during the year. It was further resolved j
that tho miners throughout the various i
regions refrain from signing any agree
ment for wages for tlio year 16S0 until
after January 10, unless the matter
shall have been settled by the proooscd
meeting previous to that date.
These resolutions. It was thought,
would prevent the minora of tho Hazle
ton region from following tho custom,
ejtabllshed here tome ten ycar3 ago, ot
fixing the rates of wagei with their em
ployers on January 1, and caused con
siderable speculation as to wltat would
be the outcome. The question, however,
was settled without any dllllculty nnd
no trouble is expected in this region for
the next twelve month.
Tlio workmen In tlio employ of the
Pardees at their various collieries In this
section have accepted 1S80 basis, will be
paid for their labor at the same figures
as heretofore, and their action virtually
settles tho wage question for tho entire
Lehigh region, as all tho smaller cor
porations are governed by them. The
men will accordingly be paid as follows:
When the average price of coal at tidal
points near New York city Is $5 per
ton miners' wages per week will bo
12.00; first-class Inside laborers, $10.80;
second-class Inside laborers, $0.00, w 1th
a sliding scale of ten per cent, for each
dollar advance or decline In the price of
coal. Tho present price of coal at tide
is $4 and tho rates of wages: Miners'
pay per week, $11. "4; first-class laborers,
$0.72; second-class laborers, $8.01.
A Burglar Yith an .xe.
The village of Vera Cruz, on the lino
of tlio Perkiomen Hailroad, about eight
miles from Allentown, was thrown into
a state of excitement over an outrage
perpetrated thereon Wednesday night of
last week. David Mussclman and ids
wife 1I o in a small hoU3C rather remote
from neighbors. It h supposed they
have money in tlio house, and early
Wednesday morning Mr. Mussclman
heard a noise as though made by an
attempt to break open the cellar door.
Ilclng eighty years old and feeble, ho did
not lis ; to leant the wase of Hi? com
motion, and presently footsteps were
heard on tho stairs and a moment later
their bed room door was opened. Tlio
big, bttiK figure of a man appeared, ills
face covered witli a mask and In his
hand a uplifted axe. Walking to tho
bed he demanded $50of Mr. Mussclman.
At this point Mrs. Mussclman awoke,
and, glancing at the Intruder, said:
" e do not fear you. God is stronger
than you." The old mm refused to
hand over the money, whereupon the
burglar reduced his demand to $30,
which Mussclman refused to give, but
compromised by giving the unwelcome
visitor $2. Ho then retired but not
ticfore he ransacked a bureau in another
room and found a purso w Ith $2.
Heforo leaving the house the burglar
told Mr. and Mrs. Mussclman that If
they exposed him he would burn down
their homo. The burglar was an ama
teur and a resident of the village Is sus
pected. The villagers are highly excited,
and at a meeting held noxt night it was
decided to offer a leward for tho arrest
of the guilty party. The old couple
suffer from tho shock of the midnight
intrusion.

The house xvas heated by steam and
lighted bv electricity and tho origin of
the fire is a mystery, though the most
generally accepted theory Is that tho
