Mm tin Mm Ion, of Mcylert avenue, tho laborer who was struck by a full of ioof In tlio Manvlllo mine, Fililay, Is doing nicely at tho Hahnemann hos lil till. Yesterday ho was In much lew jmln ntul Ims full use of his SDlnal nerves. The doctors nay there are no evidences of paralysl, which Is the Kreat danger to bo feaied In case of this kind. Exclusive announcement of Men ion' Itijutles was made In Saturday's Trib une. Marlon was struck In the back of the n k by a hutto slab of rooflnc In tho Munvilte mine. Ills head was nuilicd violently tow aids the ground, cnufilnc such a curvutuio of the back tli.it tho ligaments of ono of tho ver tebrae of the spinal column were frac tured. Tho dislocated vertebrae pressed upon tho spinal chord InopposUo direc tions, nnd unless this pressure was re lieved It would have resulted In a paialysls of the entire pottlon of the body below the waist. Doctora Peck and BurllnRhoff exam ined tho man and found that the ninth or tenth dorsal vertebrae had been dls located, They performed nn operation and leset tho vertebtne, nnd now Mai Ion's chances of recovery ate de cidedly good. This Is perhaps one of the mon dcll ottte, as well as the most laie, of opei atlonn which come under the attention of hospltnl physicians, dteat care had to be exercised by the doctorswho con ducted tho operation to set the dislo cated vertebrae bark In Its cxaot place, for even the slightest variation from its normal position would cause a pros suie upon the nerves of the spinal chord, which subsequently would pro duce paralysis. DANGEROFTROUBLEPAST AGREEMENT WITH TROLLEY MEN SIGNED. Piesident Clarke Directed Geneial Manager Sillimau to Attach His Signature to It. Committeemen P. .T si i.d M. T. itartctt, of the Scianton "t ltall wnv employes, who vvi-u init in Phila delphia last Wednesday to confer with President Clarke, io turned home Hat urdov afternoon. The result of their conference was highly satisfactory, and nil datiKer of another strike has now been effectually warded off. . While President Claike himself would not slffn the agreement be de clared that be would instiuct Manager Sllllmau to do so, and shortly after the delegates' arrival home, the com mittee waited upon the former, the formal contiact was piesented and within a few minutes was sinned. A nicotine of the union was held yes terday mornhiK', but the news bad upload like wildfire that all possibility of a strike was at an end. and ns a result there was but a kmall attend ance. The committee's report was re reived and accepted, and a committee from the barn men told their troubte3. It seems that when General Mana ger SlUIman recently cut down their working houis fiom ten to eight a committeeman was appointed by them and sent to Master Mechanic Mullen, legal dint? the mattei. The latter In formed them that the only mode of redress would tie In taking1 off some of the men for an Indefinite period and resuming the old bonis. In the latter pait of last week, this was done, and all of the night men 1 lid off. One half of the duv men wore put Into their places. This ad justment of affairs is uus.itlafactoiy, and the union will look Into the mat ter. The clause of the contract which caused Ceneial Manager Plllhnan to lofuse to slffii It, and necessitated th Philadelphia trip, follows: "No union employe shall be required by the com pany to work with non-union innn, except when applications for mem bership by said non-union men hao been made to the becretary of Local division, No. 1CS, and then not for a longer period than thirty days from tho date of employment of said non union man or men." Piesident Clarke, also, was unwilling- to blgn this at first and suggested various modifications, but tho commit tee refused to comiuomlso and finally carried the day. Whito In Philadelphia Plica became, sick, nnd this it was which caused the delay In the home ward arrival of tho two delegates. Y The union temalns firm In its de cimation to blacklist Seeley, who con tinued at work during the strike, al though a member of tho union, but Is willing to admit into its ranks Chnrles Keller. The latter manned a car dally during the trouble, but as hs had not joined the union previously, did not come in for anything like the ani mosity which Seeley earned. ICelkr has applied for niembeishlp and this will bo granted1 him. Ono ot the conference committee yesterday icmarked to a Tribune man that thero was a tacit understanding between Piesident Clarke and the delegates that while the union would take caio of Keller, the company must provide for Seeley. All the men have been or dered by the union to stop woik if tho boycotted man takes his place on a car. The ten hour day schedule will go Into effect in a few days. The In ci eased pay of 13 cents rer hour went Into effect Jan. 3. MID-YEAR CONVENTION. Lackawanna County W. C. T. U. to Meet in Mooslc on Friday.

Got Into a Quarrel with John Foto lnsky on Saturday Night Latter Admits That He Pushed Him from a Poich Coroner Robeits Says the Dead Man Was Struck with a Blunt Instrument and That He Could Not Have Been Killed by Falling from the Porch. Alek Novotsky, a minor, cmplojud by the Austin Heights Coal companj-, lies dead at his homo In Austin Heights, a (.ettlement on the West mountain, a low miles from Old Forge, lie died at 3 o'clock yesterday attpincv n, as a :c stilt of tenlblo Injuries hi stained the night before, either by V ,Ing pushed from the porch at Mrs. dtolkowskl's hotfl by a fellow-countr man named John Patoloskj', or by being stiuck over tho head with some blunt Instru ment. The men had been di Inking together In tho place between S and 9 o'clock Saturday night, when they adjourned to the porch, wheie a quarrel ensued. Soon after, Patolosky pushed Novel sky off the iorcli, according to the story In general oh dilation, nnd the latter struck on his head, fractuilng his neck. Patolosky returned to the bar room, and when questioned by Piank Kovalcfhky and George Novetsky, cous ins of tho dead man, as to Novetskj-'s wheieabouts, said ho did not know. THEY BEAT PATOLOSKY. The cousins began searching for Alek and soon found him lying uncon scious outside the hotel. They leturned to tlie barroom and proceeded to pum mel Patolosky until cithers Intel fered. The latter was badly cut about the head and face as a result of the pun ishment he received. The Injured man was lemovod to his home, whcio be icmaliiPil unconscious until death came.

"The mon's s-kull was houlbly fiac Utied," .ald be. "I made an examina tion of the porch olf which bo Is said to have been pushed and I can say positively that the Injuiles ho received could not have been lecelved by a fall from it. It's only about two feet high and a fall from it wouldn't have lesulted setlously. "I believe ho was struck over the head with a club or soms other blunt weapon, pei hups n billiard cue. Tho men may have been quarreling In the saloon and one may have picked up a cue and stiuuk Novetsky. There was an abrasion on the top skull which was just nbout the width of a cue " DIAGRAM OPENS TODAY. Will Be a Great Rush for Seats for the Fete.

Levlne of Wllkes-Bario and At torney Isaac Allen of New York Were Speakers. A well-attended and tliorouglil) en thusiastic meeting of the local bianuli of the Associated Older of Zionists was conducted last night In Guernsey hull. Rabbi Levlne, of Wllkes-B.in e, and Attorney Isaac Allen, of New Yoik city, woie the- two speakers ot the evening and by their eloquence and tire succeeded In aiouslng a gre'it luleiest In this society, the object of which Is to amalgamate) ull the Jews of the woild Into a great stock coniiunj-, which will ultimately buy Palestine from tlii- sultan of Tuikey and use the Holj- Lund pilmaiily as a icfuge for the oppiessed Hebiews of foreign coun tries, and Anally as once mote the mother land of a gieat Jewish nation. The plan may teem at Ihbt a tilde Quixotic, but it Is not expected that It run bo carried out for nianj. manv veais, and its ptonioteis lcok fotw.ud to a gieat future fo- the socletj-.

Piesident MonU i'oin, of the Una! lodge, acted as chairman last night. Up Hist introduced B'jv. Levluwvhn speko forcefully and cloouentlv in 001111311. He explained the purpoirs anl crucial Idea of the organUitlon, 'ul dcla:ed that tho need of the lon movement Is not felt us keenly uy the Hebrews of this land of equnlltj and freedom as it Is by the unfortunate Jewish eifs of Jlouiuanla and Russia. Attorney Allen wa then lui'oduccd. He told ot the fiiht attempt to regain Palestine by force of aims, and its dls astious lesultx, nnd niguod that the Holy Land can neve'1 lie lecovered bj' anp but peaceful hk-iii'. He ipforied to the piesent status of tho race and the wholesale anti-Semitic spirit per vudlng Europe. "When the news of the illness of the czar of Russia was an nounced," said he, "the heait of every Jew palpltatcdwith fear and trembling, lest Nicholas, tho kind and liberal, .should die? and the lives of six million Hebietts In Russia be Jeouardlaed by the ascent of another monarch. Such is the ptesent condition that the death of one man muj impel 11 the lives of fcls million people. "It Is the Jews' mission," he con tinued, "to spread In the world the ttue belief, to be the teacher ot man. But must not the teacher onjoy the lespect of his pupils? How can the Hebrew, bated and desplfced, for Instance, at tempt to Instiuct the haughty Ger man? "The htiltan ot Tuikey needs money. The Jew has It. Palestine has long been the bone of contention among tue great poweis, but none ,omd oppose Its acquisition by the Jew !." In closing his speech, Mr. Allen ie feued briefly to the lact that Misses Shoit and DeGiaw, of No. 30 school, vveie accused ot openly Insulting and abusing Jewish children under their caie. Tho two Instructresses are al leged to have told the children that "the Jews wcio all ll.us and thleVfS." This hns insulted In a withdrawal of the majoiltj- of the Jewish chlldien fiom the school, as their parents will keep them away until the matter has been investigated by tho boaid of con tiol. before which It Is to be Immedi ately brought, MISS HOWELL HAS RETURNED.
