who Is well known to every Sr-rnntou-ian
who traverses ihe business sei'llon.
Air. Fieednian is one of the mo-t hus
tling newspaper vendors in the city and
has a very large clientage among the
business men in the sky sernpeis near
the corner of Spruce street and AA'.ish
ington avenue. He was the foity
fourth young pel sun to ciuoll in tiu
contest, having enteied on Alay :;. He
has always been close to the top of
the list and has won one of the prizes
offered in the Special Contests.

SERIES OF ACCIDENTS.
They Followed in
Carriage Being
Train Near
the Wake of
Struck by
Hudson.
a
Thi Delaware and Hudson train,
which left Wilkes-Dane at !).1C lust
night, had a most remarkable experi
ence. It ran into a carriage between
Aliners' Mills and Hudson, and attached
to the carriage was a horse driven by
a man named Fred Smith, of Miners'
Mills. At a crossing some distance
north of Miners' AIllls, Smith evidently
left tho highway and was driving up
the uacks toward Hudson when the
engine bumped Into the outfit and
drove It forwnid some thirty feel.
JL landed in the open space between
two little bridges that carry the tracks
ocr ii small stream at that point.
The earring-" was badly smashed, but the
sills caught on the ends of the bridges
and the canlage was held there. Smith's
ciothlna became fastened to one ot the
wheels and he was held dangling over
the stream. The hoise landed on a
plan): bet wren the bridges and was
balancing Itself there when the tuiln
came to a stop on the bridge.
One of the passengers in his hurry to
alight failed to notice that his particu
lar ear was over the bridge and diopped
off the step of the car Into the stream.
Fortunately he e.-caped in.luiy but got
a wetting.
Smith was rescued from hi.- perilous
po.-ltlon, and in the meantime others
weic trying to get the horse on ip.m
gyound, but Io, llielr dismay the plank
broke and the hore too dropped Into
the stream. SI range to relat? it sit
tallied hardly a scialch. Its owner,
.Smith, was also but slightly injured.
The train was delayed over half an
hour in arilving In tills city.

LITTLE FRICTION AT THE VARI
OUS COLLIERIES.
All of the Men Could Not Be Accom
modated Yesterdny for the Benson
That Parts of Most of tho Mines
Were Not in Shnpe It Will Take
Several Day3 Before All of the
Men Can Go Back Not Many Non
Union Men Left Union Officials
Were Kept Busy.
Throughout the whole length ot the
valley, yesterday morning, tho long
sllent breaker whistles awoke the peo
ple to the realization that the conflict,
whlbh has so grievously disturbed the
region Tor almost half a year was at an
end and that the day of bright prom
ise was breaking. No more joyous
sound has ever tickled the ear of
a sorely-troubled community. Those
who responded to the call the whistles
sounded were tho most joyous ot all
who heard them. To them the shrill
blasts bore a message they had long
and patiently awaited. To many ot
them the sound meant n cessation ot
actual suffering. To all but a few It
marked the ending of stolidly-borne
hnrdshlps. To no one was It an unwel
come sound.
It seemed as If each breaker whistle
was bent on ouldolng all others In
mounding the gladsome message. Only
at New Year's midnight, when the
death of the old and birth ot the new
year Is celebrated with such general
tooting of gongs lias there been such a
din.
No general statement would sum up
the events which followed the re
awakening of the gongs. To accurate
ly describe the conditions of Resump
tion Day, It would be necessary to
treat each colliery individually and In
detail. Such Is Impossible as the com
panies' offices, even, had not collected
this Information.
A Scnice Article.
One thing, most Inipoitnnt of all, was
developed by the day. That was, as
foiecnst In The Tribune, that the non
union man was a rather scarce article
about the mines, yesterday morning.
True to their declarations, the com
panies lefused to dismiss any non
union men who lmve been working
during the strike, but thanks to fortu-'
nnte circumstances their fidelity in tills
regai d was not piy, to any very sevre
test.
For the most part, the non-union men
were Imports, coming from. outside the
mining legions. As soon as It was evi
dent the strike was about to end, these
men packed up and got away. The
companies did not use any vigorous
methods In pi eventing them from go
ing. Tho!.e w ho decided to remain
lound themselves confronted with the
necessity of securing boarding houses,
the companies no longer being1 in a po
sition to maintain living quarters at
the breakers. For one of these non
union men to secuie a boarding house
In the mining settlement in which he
has been regarded for some several
months as something closely approach
ing a Itper was a task not to be lightly
uudei taken. If any of them undertook
the task, a report of tho undertaking
is, as yet, wanting.
Committees poured Into the head
iiuarieis of the executive committee ot
District No. 1, rnited Mine Workeis.
.ill day long, heailus: complaints of
men having hem i erased their old posi
tion" at different mines, but in practi
cally all tliR.cascs the complaints boie
on the cares of engineers, pumpmen
and lb emeu.
Didn't Develop Yesterday.
Although It Is a ceilalnty that ponie
inside workeis will not be taken back.
It did not develop yesteiday to wlvit
extent the companies propose to exer
cise their ban against undesirable ex
slrlkei. This lack of development in
tills regatd Is due to the fact that in n
great many places the mines were not
In shapi to take back their full forces.
As many men us could bo accommo
dated were sent in and the others told
they would be notified when places
weie leudy for them. "It Is only when
the mines are again In shape to work
full-handed that It will be known what
men are not to be ie-employed.
At about half the collieries a prac
tically full force of men was put to
work. At all, except a few, a portion of
the men were sent In. Falls of roof,
which blocked roadways, weie respon
sible lu most cases for only a part of
the fence being re-employed. These
falls can be cleared up lu a fiw days
and then the remaining portion of the
men will be sent lu. Hreakers, as a
rule, did not work, but today will,
likely, see none of them Idle for want
of coal, F.very chamber that could
possibly he worked was opened up yes
terday." This morning there will be
coal to be hoisted and piepared at
nearly all the collieries.
One reliable icport of a miner being
positively refused re-eniploynient comes
from the Oxford c olllery of the People's
Coal company. The old employes, ns-
per agreement among themselves, pre
sented themselves at the colliery In the
morning. President Crawford came
from within the stockade and began to
pick out the men he would employ at
once. About thirty-live were thus se
lected and sent Inside the stockade. To
tho others Air. Crawford said ho would
send for them as he wanted them.
Some who were not re-employed on the
spot wero told to come around today.
Others were told to come Saturday and
still others Monday.
No Work for Phillips.
One ot tho old employes outside the
stockade was Theophllus Phillips,
president of the Oxford local, who, it
will be remembered engaged In a news
paper controversy with Air, Crawford,
and lei in tho movement to prevent the
Oxfoid from being worked,
"Hello, Theophllus," s.ild Air. Craw
ford. "Ynu hero?"
"Yes, I'm here," answered Mr, Phil-
lips.
"Didn't I tell you 1 would never re
employ you?'1 renini ked Air. Crawford,
"I thought maybe you had changed
your mind," said Mr. Phillips.
"Well, I haven't," Air. Ci.iwford re
Joined. At this Mr. Phillips tinned away and
left for home. The matter was report
ed to the dlbtiiet headquaiters.
A continuation of the stilkc at the
Pottebono was threatened for a time
yesterday morning. The men at this
colliery were on strike for tluee mouths
when the big strike came on lu Alay,
They went out originally because the
DiTincn objected to the "swing shift."
Yesterday morning when tho niou as
sembled at the shaft they decided not
to go down until their committee could J
see Dlflttiol (Superintendent Bniiinrd
and have an understanding about the
original grievance. Mr. Darnnrd was
down at Nnntlcoke and would not bo
able to see them, ho said until after
noon. About 10 o'clock the men eon-
citified to go to work and -see Air. ttar
nnrd today.
At the Mnltby colliery ot the Lehigh
Valley company where thei-p had been
a strike on for llfteen months, the old
employes all icturned and all got their
former places,
The Exceptions.
AA'lth (lie exception of the Hallstead,
which has been abandoned, and the
Sloan and Central, where now switches
are being laid, outside, all Ihe Dela
ware, Lackawanna and Western cob;
llerlcs made a start. Superintendent
Tobey said that he knew of no Instance
of n man being refused work, but wus
not prepared to say theie were no such
Instnnces. Those whose places weie
not open for them were offered other
work, he said.
Superintendent Hose, of the Dela
ware and Hudson company, stated that
all of his company's places north of
Seianton, except the Clinton, in Waynu
county, made a start. At the Clinton
tho mules were not lu, but will be In
today. The collieries down the valley,
which did not start yesterday, will
likely start today or tomorrow. "In a
day or two," Is the way Air. ltoo put
It. These ate the Greenwoods, Plym
outh;;, Haltlmore No. ", Pine Hldge,
Lnflln, I.angcllffe and Laurel Ttun.
Plymouth No. 4, may not start for a
couple of weeks, Air. Hose said. Ite
palr work there, which was hindered
by the strikers, has to ho done before
tho mine can be opened.
Jtlchmond No. 3 colliery, of the On
tario and AVestern company, did not get
under way. The men refused to go
down because the non-union engineers
wero not trustworthy, and the descent
Ih extremely dangerous because of there
being 150 feet or water In the shaft, the
mlnejinvlng been flooded to extinguish
a lire. The men demand that the old
engineers be reinstated. The case was
one ot the many reported to Aline
Workers' headquarters. AVhen asked
yesterday by a Tribune reporter If this
demand would be granted, General
Alannger Hryden said: "We don't ex
pect to grant it."
Places Not Heady.
IJecauso of the places not being toady,
a large proportion of the men at the
Pine Brook wero sent home to await
notlllcnllon of when the company will
want them. This will bo In the course
of a few days. New shafting Is being
put in at the Alt. Pleasant and it will
be two weeks before it will be finished.
No attempt at resumption can be made
until the work Is completed. The i'n
pouse wnshery, which was burned Aug
ust S. will be leady to start up again
next week.
General Manager Hryden said to a
Tribune leporter: "AVhen the places
are al! cleared up, all our men will be
taken care of."
General Alannger Thome, of the
Temple company, repot tid all of the
company's seven collieries in operation,
with eighty per cent, of the old em
ployes back at work. The others will
be put back as fast as roads can be
opened up. The Northwest, w hlch was
destroyed by fire befoie tho strike, will
not be ready tor re&utnptlon for some
time yet. The Alt. Lookout and Lacka
wanna breakeis worked part of the day
and several bundled tons of coal pre
