RECOVERY IS EXPECTED.
Martin Mnrlon,Whose Vertebrae Was
Dislocated, Improving.
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.

MURDERED AT
THE HEIGHTS
ALEK NOVETSKY DIES FROM A
FRACTURED SKULL.
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 c:is wits re
ported to the coroner and county de
tective, who went to Austin Heights
lust night to make an Investigation.
E-County Detective Lej-shoii hap
pened to be in Old Forgo yesterday
afternoon, wlnni the man's death was
reported, and stalled lor Austin
Heights to arrest Patoloskj-. On the
way lie met Officer McKenua with the
pilsoncr, and they locked lilni up In
Old Forge.
Later In? was given a healing by
Justice Piclstcll and held without ball.
Patalosky admitted bav Ing pushed No
vetsky off the porch. Trom what could
bo leamsd as a probable caiihe for the
assault. Novetsky had Patalosky ar
lestod some time ago for a pettj of
fense and over since a bitter feeling
existed between them.
Novetsky about about SO yeais of
age and leaves a wife and four chil
dien. He had been In the country
twelve j earn und w.is known as a
peaceabla man.
Pataloskv Is aHo mauled and about
the sania age. He has one child.
COUONEH'S OPINION
foi oner Hob'eits stated to a Tilbune
man last night after making the post
moi tern examination that he was firm
ly convinced that Novetsky was struck
over the head by a blunt Instrument
.and that he did not meet his dMth by
lulling from a porch.
"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 "

LOCAL ZIONISTS MEET.
ENTHUSIASTIC RALLY HELD IN
GUERNSEY HALL.
Rev. 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-. It
was bum in Euiope and thei? numbeis
half a million members. In this toun
tiv It hns about Mfti-Ti thousand de
votees, of whom a tnli.l ac in Nov
York.
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,
