Trains Collided During the Dense
Morning Fog.
A serious wreeh occurred on the
Delnwnre mid Hudson railroad at
.Icrmyn about 9 o'clock yesterday inorn
Ins:. A north bound coal train was
tnlthitf the sldhiR Just above the de
pot when 11 second coal train collided
with the rear end before It domed the
11111I11 Hack doing much diiinuge, There
was 11 heavy foff at the time null this
may account for the accident,
The mammoth hofr eiiRlne of the sec
ond train was derailed and the wreck
1 tit? crew which arrived shortly after
in o'clock worked until s o'clock 111 the
tifternoon elcnrlliK the track.
The engine struck the caboose ot the
lit st train and forced It on top nf the
coal car Just ahead of It, This car was
thrown orf the Irnck and badly wreck
ed. The stove lit the caboose was over
turned and the quiti'tern or the train
crew were soon In Haines. The gong nt
the Delaware and Hudson breaker,
sounded it lire iilarin and the Artesian
Hose company responded. They did
not have enough hose to reach the
blaze and some time was lost before
nddltlnniil hose could be secured from
the nearby breaker. Then the lire was
extinguished but the body of the
caboose had been consumed,

AN ECHO OF THE STRIKE.
Three Men Injured in John Cusick's
Hotel, on West Market Street,
Last Night..
During a. light in the hotel of John
Ctislck, on AVest .Market street, last
nif-ln about S o'clock, I'M ward Kane
was shot in the right side and 'seriously
wounded. Joseph Walsh and Patrick
MeAnulty were each shot In the right
hand and painfully injured.
MeAnulty Is a non-unlonr mine worker
and worked during the recent strike.
When be entered the saloon last night
a number of men were present and they
begun to taunt him. Finally, Kane hit
MeAnulty In the eye and MeAnulty
drew his revolver. Several men sprang
upon lit 111 to wrest the revolver away,
and during the scrimmage the revolver
was discharged and thu three men in
jured. It apparently was not McAnulfy who
dlsclmrgrii the weapon. From the na
ture of Ills wound It would seem that
he bad bold of the mus'.sile of the
weapon when II was discharged.
MeAnulty and Walsh were taken to
the North Scranton police station,
where they were attended by Dr. Htnn
ton. Kane was attended at his home
by Dr. Sullivan.

MINING NOW
AB0UTN0RMAL
ALL BUT A TEW OF THE COL
LIERIES HAVE RESUMED.
The Northwest Breaker Has Been
Rebuilt and Is Now in Operation.
The Cnpouse Washer, Destroyed
by Fire on Aug. 8, 1902, la About
Rebuilt and Will Soon Be Clean
ing Coal Price of All Sizes of Coal
Has Gone Up In This City.
Mining In this region has practically
resumed Its normal condition. The only
collieries now Idle are the Ilnllstcad, of
the Delnwnre, Lackawanna mid West
ern; the Fernwood, of the Krlei the
Richmond No. !? nnd Cnpouse wnshery,
ot the Ontario and Western, and the
lllvetslde slope, of the Riverside Coal
company nt Archbald,
All of the thirty collieries of the Dela
ware nnd Hudson company nre now In
operation, The last two to be gotten
under way, the Plymouth No. li and the
Luflln, turned out coal yesterday for
the llrst time. They were prevented
front starting up with the others by
reason of repairs being made. The work
of laying new tracks at the Sloan and
Central collieries of the Delaware,
Lackawanna nnd Western comnany
was completed Monday, anil yesterdny
they begun to ship coal. The only one
of the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western places not working Is the Hall
stead, at Diiryea, which will probably
be abandoned, It was allowed to Hood
during the strike and the company Is
In doubt as to whether It will pay to
reopen It, as It Is nearly worked out,
All of the Temple company's eight
places are also at work. The last to
be started un was the Northwest, the
breaker which was destroyed by fire
December 0, 1001. Tho new breaker was
completed last week, and coal was run
through It yesterday for the first time.
The Cnpouse wnshery of the Ontario
and Western company, which was de
stroyed by lire August S, 1002, Is nearly
rebuilt nnd will be In operation, It Is
expected, In the course of a week.
The Total Output.
The companies report that the output
is now in excess of 90 per cent, of the
normal and that practically all their
employes are back at work, excepting
those who were employed at the few
collieries still remaining Idle.
The only colliery at which any large
number ot non-union men Is still em
ployed Is the Oxford of the People's
Coal company. Less than 100 of the 350
old employes hnve been taken back.
However, till except sixty of the latter
have secured other employment.
District President Nicholls stated yes
terday that In the First district there
are four hundred strikers, outside of
those who worked at collieries that
have not yet resumed, who are still
Idle. Most of these, Mr. Nicholls de
clares, are being blacklisted.
The mines worked full time and prac
tically full-banded, yesterday, for the
first time in three days. The religious
holidays, Saturday and Monday, were
observed by many of the foreign-speaking
miners and the tonnage in conse
quence was largely decreased. Tomor
row, it Is expected there will be some
decrease in output, as is usual on the
day after election, but from Thursday
on the companies count on a normal
output.
The price of coal to local consumers
has gone up 2" nnd fiO cents u ton, as a
result of the strike. Pea coal, which
was selling for $2.50 a ton, delivered,
now costs $3. Chestnut, egg and stove
coal, which formerly sold for $3.50 Is
now selling for $3.7.". Five years ago
pea coal sold for $1.50 11 ton, and the
larger domestic sizes for $2.50. The ad
vance was made by the companies.
Production Last Week.
Concerning the production for last
week, the Rlack Diamond says It Is
probable that It will not exceed 500,000
tons. The trade, however. Is not seri
ously complaining as yet and probably
will not during the continuance of the
present mild weather. During the pres
ent week It is possible that production
may reach 750,000 tons as against a
normal production of about 1,000,000
tons per week. With this quantity ot
coal going forward It Is more than like
ly that tho Influence of resumption will
be felt to a greater extent than dur
ing the past week.
The anthracite companies have also
laid the foundation for their future
policy In the matter of distribution.
One of the largest has issued Its cir
cular list at all of the Important dis
tributing points. This list Is 50 cents
higher than lt-vould have been at this
time of the year under normal condi
tions. It Is understood that the ad
vance applies to all domestic sb.es.
While thus far only this one company
has Issued the new list. It seems to be
a common Impression that all will sell
on a uniform basis In the future as
they have In the past, .
Some criticism has been offered con
cerning the advance In list prices, but
ibis Is apparently not well founded.
Demand for this coal for some months
will run so much In excess of produc
tion thin every elfort should be made
to keep It within reasonable bounds.
Higher prices, It Is argued, may reduce
the consumption slightly and thus may
bo of benefit to the trade and the 'con
sumers dependent upon this fuel. On
tbo other hand If the anthracite strike
commission should report an advance
In wages this would date from Nov, 1,
and unless higher prices were obtained,
on all new coal that was produced,
operators would find that the resump
tion of work had resulted In n reduc
tion In profits,
Increase Not Great.
While the strike was at Its height
many consumers and members of the
coal trade wrote letters to the opera
tors asking them to ntime higher prices,
pay the miners more wages and resume
work, The now prices are not much
of-tin advance over the old figures, and
except ti some Instances will make lit
tle difference In the total of the fuel
bill at tho end of the year, However,
they will afford a practical lest of
whether or not those who wanted coal
at uny price a mouth or two ago wore
consistent In tlie'lr demands at that
time. It may also be taken as an as
sured fact that domestic anthracite
coal nt the new range of prices will
look exceedingly cheap to the average
eastern or western consumer who has
been paying from $10 for Welsh coal of
Inferior quality to $20 for a ton of
domestic anthracite' coal.
While all tho details are not obtain
able os to the plan of distribution to
be adopted by the operators, It seems to
be certain that )n a general way It has
been decided upon. Operators have,

a ctmi: FOR ALL.
Not n Patent Cure-all) Nor a Modern
Miracle, but Simply a Rational
Cure for Dyspepsia.
In these days of, humlniggery and de
ception, the inniiUfacturers of patent
medicines, ns a rule, seem tu think their
medicines will not sell unless they
claim that It will cure every dlsenee un
der the nun, And they never think of
leaving out dyspepsia and sloinnch
troubles. They are sure to claim that
their nostrum Is absolutely certain to
cure every dyspeptic and he need look
no further.
In the fnce ot these absurd clnlms It
Is refreshing lo note that the proprie
tors of Stunrl's Dyspepsia Tablets have
carefully refrained from making any
undue claims or false representations
regarding the merits ot this most ex
cellent remedy for dyspepsia and
stomach troubles. They make but
one claim for It, and that Is
for Indigestion mid various stom
ach troubles. Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets Is a radical cure. They go no
farther than this and any man or wo
man suffering from Indigestion, chron
ic or nervous dyspepsia, who will give
the remedy a trial will find that noth
ing Is claimed for It, that the facts will
not fully sustain.
It Is a modern discovery, composed of
harmless vegetable Ingredients accept
able to the weakest or most delicate
stomach. Its great success in curing
stomueh troubles Is due to the rnct that,
the medical properties are such that it
will digest whatever wholesome food Is
taken Into the stomach, no matter
whether the stomach Is In good work
lug order or not, It rests the over
worked organ and replenishes the body,
the blood, the nerves, creating a healthy
appetite, gives refreshing sleep and the
blessings which always accompany a
good digestion and proper assimilation
of food.
In using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
110 dieting is required. Simply eat
plenty of wholesome food and. take
these Tablets nt each meal, thus assist
ing and resting the stomach which rap
Idly regains Its proper digestive power,
when the Tablets will be no longer re
quired. Nervous Dyspepsia is simply a condi
tion In which some portion or portions
of the nervous system nre not properly
nourished. Good digestion Invigorates
the nervous system and every organ In
the body.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold
by all druggists at 50 cents per package.
during the past week, devoted a large
share of their attention to relieving the
Philadelphia, New York and far eastern
markets. Considerable coal has been
moved into the two largest cities In
the east and this has been distributed
almost as rapidly as It was received in
small quantities to domestic consumers,
preference being given to those who
were in the greatest need.
The officials of United Mine Workers
ot Illinois, during the past week have
requested, letters from the coal opera
tors of Illinois In answer to certain
questions propounded by National
President Mitchell. These questions
are as follows:
First Their views as to the respon
sibility of our organization.
Second. The advantages ot joint con
tracts with our organization.
Third. Their approval of our methods
of disciplining our members.
Fourth. Their views concerning the
reasonableness and conservativeness of
our officers.
Mr. Herman Just!, commissioner of
the Illinois Coal Operators' Association,
was asked what reply, if any, the
operators would make to this request.
Mr. Just! very promptly replied that
up to the present time the Anthracite
Strike commission, appointed by Presi
dent Roosevelt, had not called for any
testimony from the bituminous opera
tors In Illinois, and so far as the
Illinois Coal Operators' association
was concerned, it decided at Its meet
ing, held in Chicago, on the 30th Inst.,
that no testimony would be given or
should be given unless, and until, called
upon by the said commission.
Mr. Justl further said, In answer to
other questions, that he believed the
Anthracite Strike commission. If It de
sired the testimony of operators In the
bituminous field, would not only call
them, but would f.ormulnte a series of
questions for them to answer on the
workings under the joint Interstate and
statu movement. This Anthracite
Strike commission would, no doubt,
submit n number of general questions
covering the more important features
of coal mining- with a view of bringing
out such information as will enable
them to throw the strongest light on
the exact relations or labor to capital
in the coal mining Industry.
Would Be Discourteous.
Mr. Justl, on being asked what reply
the operators would make to the ques
tions propounded by Mr, Mitchell, re
plied thut It would be, In-his opinion,
extremely discourteous to the president
of the Tutted States anil to the coin
mission appointed by him to anticipate
lu any way any questions they might
ask by expressing opinions on any ot
the varied questions of coal mining lu
the bituminous field.
To the question, "Will testimony, If
It Is asked for, be given by Individual
operators, or the Illinois Coal Opera
tors' association?" Mr. Justl replied:
".Should the operators be called upon
to testify, they will give tho composite
opinion of all the operators ot the state
and will speak through their associa
tion," X-RAYS PICTURE TAKEN.

The first picture taken on Monday
showed the course the bullet had taken,

Terrible Death of Michael Koval nt
Jessup.
Michael Koval, a H-year-old boy, met
a frightful death In the Sterrlck Creek
mine, at Jessup, yesterday,
The boy was oiling some machinery,
when he slipped into the rolls used for
crushing coal and was mungled in u
terrible manner,
Undertaker Michael Hlsenoy gathered
up tho fragments of the body and after
preparing them for burial, took them to
the home ot the boy's parents.
BUILDING IS
NEARLY READY
Y, M. C. A.'S NEW HOME IS AL
MOST COMPLETED.
Contractor E. S. Williams Will Fin
ish His Work Within a Week, and
tho Decorating Contractors Expect
to Bo Through Within Two Weeks.
Committees Are Soliciting Funds
for the Furniture Which Will Not
Be Purchased Until the Money Is
All Raised.
The magnificent new Young Men's
Christian association building nt North
Washington avenue nnd Mulberry street
Is now practically completed nnd ready
for occupancy, except for the furnish
ings. K. S. Williams, the general con
tractor, has only ubout 11 week's work
to do and D'Ascenr.o and company, the
decorators, will hnve finished their
work within two weeks nt the most.
Committees of the association arc at
present engnged In soliciting funds for
tho furnishings, which are to cost
about $15,000. Until this amount Is
raised the contract will not bo let, and
for this reason, therefore. It lias been
found Impossible to fix any date for the
formal opening of the building. It
Is reasonably certain, however, that It
will be opened on or before Jnn. 1.
The entire amount of Mr. Williams'
contract, $11)5,000, has been raised, and
has been paid In, us well as the $5,000
required for the decorating, making a
total of $200,000 in all. Mr. Williams'
original contract was for $173,000, and
the remaining $22,000 was made up by
work which was decided upon later.
An Inspection of the building more
than fulfills the promises which were
made when the contract was let, nnd
reveals a structure as completely
equipped from the sub-basement to the
sixth floor as any similar building in
the whole United States.
Heating the Building.
The Immense boilers which have been
Installed In the sub-basement are fur
nishing steam heat to the entire struc
ture, and the big filters for filtering the
water to be used in the swimming pool
are also ready for use. The foundations
are here being laid for the dynamos,
which are to be used In generating tho
electric power for lighting the building.
In the basement the big locker room
Is fully equipped with lockers, and
leading from It Is the great marble
floored bath room, with Its six open and
six closed shower baths. Adjoining this
nre the Turkish bath apartments.where
there are hot rooms, marble rubbing
tables and a large lounging room.
Opening from these Is the swimming
pool. This is not quite as large as the
one In the new armory, but the room
in which it is placed Is larger, roomier,
airier and cheerier. The pool slopes
from a depth of three feet to eight and
a half feet.
The splendid gymnasium, which oc
cupies a sort of separate building ad
joining the main structure, Is fully
equipped and entirely finished. With
Its high vaulted celling and fine light
It Is In striking contrast to the gym
nasium in tho old Wyoming avenue
building.
There are two galleries running en
tirely around the room, The upper one
is for the use of visitors, and there Is
no connection between it and the floor,
so that those using the apparatus will
not be annoyed by outsiders. The first
gallery is equipped us a running track,
with banked turns and a, padded floor
surface. This Is reached by spiral
stairways front the main floor.
Gymnasium Apparatus.
The apparatus with which the gym
nasium Is equipped is modern and up-to-date
in every particular. One side
of the room is taken up with racks
for dumb-bells and Indian clubs and
the other, three sides with all manner
of weight machines. A set of travel
ing rings hang across one side, and
there are two sets of dying rings. The
other apparatus includes two horizon
tal bars, two sets of parallel bars, two
vaulting horses, a. punching bag and
celling, a suspended ladder and many
other devices. The particular feature
about the placing of this apparatus Is
that It Is nil suspended. There are no
posts to Interfere In any way with
those on the floor who may be engaged
In gymnastic work.
The decorators are at present en
gnged In putting the finishing touches
on the celling of the spacious main en
trance hall, from which open the gen
eral offlce, the secretary's olllce nnd the
stairway leading to the auditorium oii
the southeast corner of the building.
This auditorium Is ready for the plac
ing of the S00 chairs. It Is prettily tln
Islied In green mid .gold nnd Is one ot
the most beuutlful rooms of Its kind In
the city.
On the second floor are the general
reception rooms and parlors, a large
leading room and class rooms for the
study of the various brunches which
are to be taught In connection with
the malls. On this floor jilso Is a large
lecture room which will seat about 300
persons and a suite of three rooms to
bo used by the Camera club.
On the third llopr there nre more
class rooms and thu prlvutu apartments
of Secretary Mahy, and family,
