A TEAM OF HORSES BURNED.
Tlie Destroys Bottler Nealon's Barn
and Its Contents.
An nlnim tit lire was turned In last
night at S..10 o'clock from Box 1G.
"When lho llremcn reached there the
lire was neon to bo nt the corner of
Tenth avenue, near South Mnln ptrent.
The liana uf Bottler Thomas ftl. Nen
loit was totally dertroyed, with two
linirer. n '.hlp double, elolgh. lmrncss
and other content".
Mr. NeJirm went out to the barn 'churches will preside at the meetings

ho rarrled a little hand lantern, with 'nt lead the meetings held In tlielr

onie noise he saw that the lantern .follows, with tho following speakers
If 1 fallen and that a laige blaze was
iilundy teaching hungrily out for the
wnlK
Mr. Xcnlnu Immediately rushed back
to tho house and shouted that the ham
was on tire and told some one to ring
nn ul.irm. Ills con Thomas ran out
nnd did so. Vlin the fire companies
got there they found that the barn wns
doomed, and they first turnsd their
hoso on the front of Mr. Noalon'j
grocery store, diagonally opposite.
Aflor that hail been thoroughly wot,
or frozen, for sheets of len followed the
trickling wnter In the keen nlr, they
quenched th llnmcs in the barn.
There wna no hope of saving the
hoi-res. although two or three nttempts
were made, but the would-be rescuers
were driven back by the flames. Over
head electric wlies were stretched in
the s-cethlng furnace nnd shouts of
warning were uttered ns one of them
melted and fell. It struck tho Colum
bia wagon, but was yanked out of tha
vuy by some man with gloves on nnd
Iiroken off short.
A very exciting incident was a race
down South Mnln street between the
hoso wagons of the Mitchells nnd Co
lumblas. The Columblns were slightly
nhead ns the teams passed the Anthra
cite building, but tho Mitchells over
hauled them halfway down the block,
nnd then a nip and tuck race ensued,
with honors even, until at tho corner
of Eighth avenue the black team of
the Mitchells made n great spurt and
landed In front by a series of Jumps
and took the hill at a tearing call-p.
beating their gray rivals to the scene.
The barn was nn old one, but large.
The burned horses comprised an eld
md a young one. A load of hay was
Just put In yesterday. The total loss
111 probably amount to $S00, and Mr.
Xenlon carried little, If any, Insurance.

Silk Millers Meet.
The silk mill union, composed of the
Klots Silk Throwing company's em
ployes, who ure now on strike, met last
night in MeTIghe's hall, on South Main
street, and, with the United Mine
Workers' committee appointed to nsslst
them, formulated plans for a continu
ance of the strike. They nro more
confident of victory now than they
have been at any time previous and
claim that the Messrs. Klots must
meat their demands very shortly or
close the mill, as the number of work
ers decrease each succeeding day. The
strikers claim that only thirty-one em
ployes left the mill ut the closing time
last night. The assistance rendered by
tho mine workers' committee has
proven very effective nnd gave the
stilke a great impetus, and, as still
stronger influence will be brought to
bear to get out the hands now work
ing. Immediate victory la looked for.
Operated Upon.
Mlts May Kilpatrlck, daughter of
Mayor and Mrs, John W. Kilpatrlck,
has been In poor health for some time.
She experienced severe pains In tho
side, and on examination the surgeons
decided that she wns suffering from an
attack of appendicitis nnd advised an
operation. Silts Kilpatrlck nnd her
parents disliked to have an operation,
however, nnd the patient wuh given
medical treatment. She continued to
grow woise, however, nnd nt last it
was seen that nn operation was Inevit
able and as a result one was performed
Wednesday nfternoon by Doctors Gib
bons, of Scranton, nnd several nsslHt
nnts. The operation was performed In
the Scranton Prlvnto hospital nnd was
entirely successful. Word received
from there Inst night stated that sho
Is resting very easily.
Eddie Gorman Improving.
Kddle Oorman. who was shot by Con
stable Gllby on New Year's night while
escaping from custody, wns' resting
very comfortably at the hospital last
night. It wns said that It was ImpossI
bio as yet to tell whether he will lose
his leg. as the wound was a severe one.
In order to extract tho bullet an In
cision had to made from the knee to
the nnkle, laying the bono bear all tho
way, and the wound had to washed out
and bandaged. Tho principal trouble
now Is feared from blood poisoning,
which Is liable to result In tho case
of a bullet wound.

MINE WORKERS TAKE A HAND.
Will Support the Cause of the Silk
Mill Strikers.
Locals Nos. S14, ST7, 069, 1611, 1C06 and
30, of tho United Mine Workers of
America, have appointed delegates to
net as a committee to help the silk mill
strikers In carrying on their fight. Tho
unions pledged their financial support,
also, and hope In this way to soon
bring tho trouble to a satisfactory ter
mination. The committee makes tho
following statement:
liie unilcrslpncJ members of the various local
tmlom of the United Jllne Workers of America
haclng been appointed to aet a a committee
to work In conjunction with the ullk mill strik
en' committee towird hrinplnc about a success
ful termination of the labor troubles between tha
silk mill owners and their employes, liavo thor
oughly Investigated the clrcunwtanccs 6urrounJ.
Inc the rare and fin J, to our satisfaction at least,
that the claims of the children have sufficient
foundation to warrant our support, which wo
hereby pledge both morally and financially.
While we deplore most sincerely the necessity
of any children of kuch tender years as aro many
of thee hand worklnj In the mill, we admit
that no blamo therefor attaches to the mill own.
crs, but wo do believe thit the hands arc entitled
to more consideration than they Bcem to have
reeehed heretofore.
The silk mill business lias so many technical
terms that It would be hard for anyone not en
paged in the biulr.cjs to understand the de
mands made by the strikers so we have had tho
schedule reduced to more simple terms anil wo
find the concessions asked by the bands are as
follows:
NIGHT FIIHT.
first time, first clas spinners, M5 cents per
limir: lirtt time, second class spinners, ft 2-3
cents per hour; first time, bobbin carriers, 6

Heelers, 1) cents pr hour.
flardcrs. C cents per hour.
keln (jlrls, GV4 cents per hour.
bobbin csrrlrrs, 0 cenU per hour
Mr. I'rlcclcr claims that he now pays inoie '.isin
than any of the mills competing with hint. This
may rr n.ay not bo i.o, but the employes In tho
Carbondate mill who may receive not ocrr ten
per cent, more than a like worker In ths oth'r
mills dors fully fifty per cent, more work on
account of the special iimhlnery used In the
Klots mill. We are also told that the docking
and "Msht weight" sjstcina In ogue in tho
mill will in the aggregate more than make up
for what slight Increase there might bo In the
wage feale our that In other mills.
We do not belicvj an body would ask een a
lilld, and many of the employes aic young men
and women, to work for Icms money than is
asked for In tho aboe schedule and wc ale ery
sure that no parents In this rltv would tie
(vllling for their rhlldicn to be subjected to the
Indecent language and treatment practiced by
some of the oicrseers.
Thoroughly convinced of the Jiutncas of Un
moral and mute rial support of the community.
The L'nllcel Mine Workers' unions haUns pledged
their help to the silk mill union it be-hootcs
eecry union man to see to It that none of his
people help to defeat tlds worthy cauie by work
ing In the strike rs' plates, ami we furthermore
beilcto that csciy man who Is loyal to union
principles should In every possible way aist
this committee In its work of bringing about a
settlement of this strike which shall be as Just
to the workers as (o the mill owners.
