CONFERENCE OF
MINE OPERATORS
Called for Friday in Pitlston to Discuss
Twin Shaft Matter.
MAY ABANDON WORK OF RESCUE
Airway 1 Blocked und the Difficulties
of the Work of Itciicliini; the Fn
toinlicd -lcii Increases as the
Workers Adtanco'ood Work That
Is Ilcing Dune by Scruntoii .Ur
c linn ts--ltd id' Fund Growing.
A meeting has been called tr Friday
In Plttstun to discuss the advisability
of abundoning the search for the bodies
of tliu Twin shaft victims and devoting
the money that the; rescue work is
costing to the relief of the families.
Prominent mine operators from nil
over the two valleys have been Invited
to attend, as have also the mine inspec
tors composing the governor's commis
sion. The notices of the meet'ng were
sent out yesterday, und were received
by u number of Scran tonluns interested
in mining.
What the result of this consultation
will bi? cannot be conjectured, us senti
ment Is pretty well divided on the iies
tion. One of tile commissioners, In
spector . Stein,. fu.vors the abandonment
of the work; the other two refuse to be
interviewed on the matter, but It Is un
derstood they do not favor giving up
the search Just yet. Some few of the
relatives ure disposed to leave the ques
tion to the judgment of the operators,
while others, comprising the vast ma
jority, receive the proposition with in
dignation. It will be a delicate task that Fri
day's conference will have before it.
Kvfii though In his best Judgment ti
man might believe that it Is fur better
to devote to the relief of the suffering
survivors the money that Is being spent
in the apparently futile search for the
bodies, he would hesitate, perhaps, to
Voice his convictions on account of the
extreme delicacy of the case. It Is a
question, however, that has to be met.
and the contemplated method of decid
ing It Is generally conceded to be a con
siderate one, ut least, on the part of
the company.
AlirWAY J! LOCKED UP.
The discovery that the airway paral
elling the slope is as badly blocked us
the slope Itself destroys the lust hope of
reaching In any definite length of time,
the workings where the burrowing for
the bodies would be commenced. I'p
to (i o'clock lust evening 4!Ti feet of the
slope had been tunneled, leaving MS
feet yet to be traversed before the
workings are reached. Not n single
gallon of water has been pumped out of
the mine since the accident twenty-four
days ago, and before the foot of the
slope can be leached It Is feared liint
water will be. encountered. The place
where the men are entombed Is the
lowest iKirtloii of tin mine, being sixty-four
feet lower than the foot of the
shaft. That the bodies are already
covered by water is generally conceded.
The ulr Is ulso becoming worse. Wheth
er or not the company concluded to
nbamlon the work, It will before long
be forced to, for It stands to reason
In view of the above circumstances that
It will simj'ly be un impossibility to
carry on the work much longer, unless
some new schemes nre devised.
The following cnino by the I'nlted
Press last night:
Philadelphia, July 21. The citizens' per
manent relief committee met In the
mayor's otllce at noon today und decided to
appropriate K.-'m to the J'ittston mine
sufferer.'. They also dwlded to send fcwoj
io Ainuier ior tne cyclone sufferers.
There wus another good sized addi
tion yesterday to the Board of Trade's
fund In aid of the survivors of the Twin
shaft victims. The fund now amounts
to $'J.iy5.u und by the end of the Week
It is expected that the $10.0ou murk
will have been passed.
Merchants of this city have taken
on active. interest in swelling the fund
and many of them have sent letters to
merchants In other cities with whom
they do business, explaining the sit
uation aud asking for contributions.
There lins been a general and liberal
response to these appeals. '
TAKING VP COLLKCTIOXS.
At many of the collieries hereabouts
collections nre being tuken up. The
latest contributors In this way ate the
employes of the Flk Hill Coal and
iron company, whose names npiear
below. No general statement has been
made ns yet of money collected from
all sources, but It la doubtful If the
fund has yet leached anything like
the proportions necessary to properly
care for those who were left dependent
by the disaster. The contributions
yesterday to the Board of Trade fund
were:

PRODUCTION OF MIKADO.
Thut Opera Will Be Sung at Froth
iiigliiim Thursday Night.
There never was an opera produced
on the American stage that met with
better success than "Mikado." It Is ac
knowledged by musical people us be
ing Uilbert und Sullivan's best effort
and as a winner for theatrical managers
it stands at the liead of the list of op
eras. This was clearly demonstrated
when It wus tirst produced In New
York city. At that time It wus being
played ut six different theaters, each
playing to crowded houses.
It made Its debut under the manage
ment of 1!. Doyle Carte. Joseph P.
Hums, was then a member of the orig
inal company. In the production of the
"Mikado" at the Frothlngham on
Thursday evening. July 2:1, for the bene
fit of the Plttston relief fund, the?
staging Is entirely under Mr. Burns'
direction, whose work Is on the same
style ns thut of the original company.
It will be a musical as well as a comic
treat from the rise to the drop of the
curtain. William Connel purchased
the tlrst box for the production.
1 The opera will be sung by the Caro
a ii lllee dub of Wilkes-Barre, the com
pany consl.-tlng of seventy persons.
KADZINA STILL ALIVE.
He Is Growing Weaker, However, and
Has Not Long to Live Where
abouts of Kolar.
Michael Kadzlna, of jjessup, was
alive late last night, bu he was un
conscious from 11 o'clock yesterday
morning. Every hour he Is getting
weaker, and us he Is possessed of u
great amount of vitality the indications
ure that he may live u day or two
longer.
County Detective Leyslinn was quite
confident yesterday that Kolar, the man
who used the axe, will be cantured
soon. Mr. Leyshon does not think thut
he lias' gone fur away', but believes
that lie Is secreted among friends In
some of the mining sections of the up
per valley. Messengers are sent from
a certain quarter regularly to Inquire
about Kadzina's condition.
The theory of the officers Is that Kolar
Is anxious to know how his victim Is
getting along and that the messengers
are sent out by hint to keep him post
ed. Mr. Leyshon refuses to disclose
where he thinks Kolar Is or where the
messengers come from for the reuson
thut it might Interfere with his cup
ture. Absolutely nothing can be done by the
doctors for Kudzlnu. The gash made In
his skull and the Injury it bus done to
the brain uy so extensive that It Is a
mystery he did not die Instantly.

CHARGED WITH THEFT.
.Mrs. Josie Wcslcott Alleges That a
' former Doardcr Stole 915.
O. K. Van Horn was arrested at 0
o'clock lust evening on Linden street
by Patrolmen Day nnd Neuls. They
had a warrant Issued by Alderman
Howe several days ago, charging the
prisoner with entering the house of
Mrs. Josle Westcott, of Franklin ave
nue, and stealing three 15 bills.
Van Horn used to board with Mrs.
Westcott and In that way was familiar
with the place where money was kept.
He denies being guilty of the theft.
DARING BURGLARS
NEATLY TRAPPED
Found in Howley Brother' Hardware
Store on. Pena Avenue.
THEY MADE A SHOW OF FIGHT
Were Overpowered and Are Now in
the County Jnillrobnbly Impli
cated in Other UurglaricsRob
bcriei, Sueik Thefts nnd Desperate
Assaults Have Been Very Numerous
. During the .Month.
At 3.30 o'clook yesterday morning Pa
trolmen Peters and May discovered two
men In Howley Bros', hardware store
on Penn avenue and summoning Lieu
tenant Davis, who happened near by,
they entered and took the pair in tow.
They proved to be Michael Cadden,
aged 21, a plumber's apprentice, whose
home is on Scranton street, and Hugh
Rush, a barber, who keeps a shop on
the? some Btreet, near, its Intersection
with Seventh street.
They gained entrance by breaking
Into the cellar through a rear window,
stealing a couple of bars and forcing
open the front doors. When the police
pounced upon them they showed fight
but were quickly overpowered. They
had about ?123 worth of cutlery stored
about their persons ready to decamp.
Among the articles they had possessed
themselves of were eighty-one pocket
knives, forty razors, five pairs of scis
sors, four clippers and a razor strop.
They entered a formal plea of not
guilty at the hearing before Alderman
Howe, and were sent up to the county
Jail.-
The police have been looking for
Cadden since the 23rd of June, when
TV. P. Conned & Son's hardware store
was burglarized In a somewhat sim
ilar manner of 1125 worth of like goods.
Cadden, who had. been discharged by
the Coiinells for dishonesty, was sus
pected of the crime and an Investiga
tion clearly fastened it upon him. A
warrant was sworn out for his arrest,
but he could not be found having gone
to Elmlra, where he has a sister llv
Inb, aud w here, it is supposed, he sold
his plunder.
Cadden was married last week to a
young girl who worked In the Scran
ton Lace factory. He was formerly
employed at Howley Bros', as well as
ut Council & Son's.
OTHER BURGLARIES, ETC.
During the last month there have
been so many burglaries, robberies, des
perate assaults and petty thefts report
ed that the public will welcome the an
nouncement that several arrests have
been made. On the night of Julie 25
the hardware store of W. P. Connell &
Son, on Penn avenue, was entered and
the cash box containing $30 carried off.
The burglar obtained an entrance to the
building through the cellar and Was
evidently well acquainted with the
building, a fact which leads to the sup
position that young Cudden, who was
arrested yesterday, knows something
about It.
July S a young man named Weeks
was held up at 3 o'clock In the after
noon on North Main avenue, near the
city line, and relieved of his month's
pay, 119.75, which he obtained a short
time before at the Leggett's Creek mine,
where he was employed. The daring
highwayman escaped.
On the night of July 4 the store of
Grass & Smith, of 4o7 Penn avenue, was
entered and a large quantity of brass
and copper stolen. Henry Williams
and George Thompson were arrested
for this burglary. The same night Pas
qua Cambo was relieved of 1200 by his
friend, Vlnco Mando, and three days
later a coat containing valuable papers
was stolen ut St. Peter's cathedral by a
tramplsh looking Individual who made
good his escape.
HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
About 11 o'clock on the night of July
9 another dating highway robbery oc
curred at the city line In Providence
when John Logumsa and Steve Hervll
Uck were relieved of $23 and a silver
watch and badly beaten as well. On
the night of July 13 the home of Pntrlck
Lynn, of Providence, was entered by
burglars who carried away valuables
worth $75. Two nights later the stores
of Kresky, Bunnell & Co., nnd J. B.
Doyle ff Co., of Main avenue, were en
tered nnd a large quantity of goods
stolen from each place. There was no
clue 'to the perpetrators.
Last Thursday Oeorge Lauder des
poiled the Oriental Club house of Oak
ford court of Its valuables nd left for
parts unknown. Eugene Huff and Wil
liam Wilson were nrrested bb accom
plices and are now In jail. On Saturday
Frank Ludy, of Newark, N. J., stole a
large quantity of carpenter tools from a
house on Irving avenue but was ar
lested while trying to dispose of them.
Saturday night or Sunday the office
of Joseph Ansley & Son of the West Side
was entered and about $20 worth of
property secured. Two nights before
the house of Andrew C. Mitchell at 1410
Washburn street, was entered and $25
In cash taken.
Late Saturday night Thomas S. Davis
of Aswell court, West Side, was held up
near the Delaware, Lnckawanna and
Western station and relieved of $37.50
by two well dressed young men. A
sneak entered the house of Lewis Grif
fiths on Eynon street Sunday night and
pecured $40. He was evidently fright
ened off as there was several hundred
dollars within easy reach.
STOLE A SATCHEL.
T. H. Oreen, of Hopbottom, stole a
satchel from W. J. Jenkins' Lacka
wanna avenue hotel Sunday and was
arrested while trying to dispose of his
ill-gotten goods. Numerous petty
thefts were reported.
Resides the above and the rumors of
highway robberies In the vicinity of
Keiser Valley that have flooded Into
the city a number of desperate as
saults have been committed during the
last month. A young woman was the
victim of one of the assaults, the must
revolting ever reported hereabouts, and
the scene of the crime was In the vicin
ity of Central Park Garden. The vic
tim was taken to the Lackawanna
hospital, where she hovered between
life and death for two weeks. She Is
now recovering.
On the night of July 11 Michael Car
den, of Charles street. Providence, met
a Polander who Invited him to drink.
He accepted the Invitation, and while
they were drinking the Polander slit
Carden's nose open with a knife and
then disappeared.
Saturday night's riot at Central Park
Garden and Sunday night's open air
target practice of Frank Spangenberg,
on the West Side, rounds out a chapter
which would Indicate that the lawless
element has been emboldened or ren
dered more desperate ' by the heated
weather of the last month.
WAS SERIOUSLY INJURED.
John Bnukx, of Dunuiore, Lii ble to
. Die from an Accident.
An accident, the result of which Is In
doubt, happened to John Banks, ot
Dunmore," In the planing shop of the
Dunmore Iron and Steel company. He
was running a board through the
planer and stood between It and the
wall. The board struck him In the
abdomen and pinioned him until as
sistance came to him. and when he
was extricated, from the position he
was not able to stand.
Ho had been working In the shop
only a few days and was formerly In
the employ of Horan & Healey. His
recovery is in doubt.
SITE FOR ELECTRICAL PLANT.
Was Derided I'pon Yesterday by
Members of Poor Board.
The members of the Poor Board vis
ited the Hillside Home yesterday and
decided upon a location for the new
electrical plant to be erected there. A
site In the field on the opposite side of
the road from the administration build
ing about 400 feet from the road was
selected.
Mrs. F. B. Swan broke ground for the
new building and removed the first
shovelful of earth. .

Populists Claim They Now Control
Democracy--Will Support Bryan and
Sewall Reasons for So Dolnz.
Several members of the People's party
county committee met In the law office
of ex-Judge W. H. Stanton on Washing
ton avenue lust night to discuss the
polltleul situation. At least that was
the statement given out by M. J. Cole
man, the spokesman of the gathering,
when a Tribune reporter called In search
of Information.
"We have met In an Informal way,"
continued Mr. Coleman, "to decide what
we shall do this fall so far as the na
tional ticket is concerned. We will de
cide about the local ticket later. No
official action has been taken yet and
none will be taken tonight but the sen
timent thus far expressed Is entirely
In favor of supporting Bryan and Sew
all, the nominees of the Democratic
party.
"You know It was not the old Demo
cratic party that nominated Bryan and
Sewall. That parly bus been succeed
ed by another which Is really the Popu
list. In fact We have met the enemy
and captured It."
"Will you decide to support Bryan
and Sewull before ascertaining who will
be nominated by the Populists In St.
Louis?" queried the reporter.
"Whatever Is done In St. Louis will
not change our position," replied Mr.
Coleman. "The platform adopted at
Chicago has Incorporated In It every
reform the Populists have been working
for during recent years and consequent
ly we will support It and the candidates
who are running on it believing that
It Is easier to win with one party than
with two."
The meeting last night was not very
largely attended and another one will
be called for a later period when or
ftctal action will be tuken with refer
ence to the fall campaign.
The meeting last night was not very
largely attended, and at Its conclusion
the Information was given out to the
press that no definite action would be
