OPERATURS WILL JMT UNIUN On April 1, 1906, ever; ooal mine in Pennsylvania, Ohio. Indiana, Illinois, W««t Virginia and part of Kentuoky will olose down for an indefinite per iod, if preseut plana do not miscarry. A meeting of the ooal operators of all these states has been oalled to take place November 32nd at Ohiuago, wlieu plans will be completed for the great est lookout in the history of the world. This arrangement is Intended to crush the United Uine Workers of America as an organization, aud at the same time force np the price of ooal to the consnmer. Herman Justi, commissioner of the Illinois Ooal Operators' Association font out the oall for the Chicago con ference. This will be the first time the anthracite ooal operators will have entered into an agreement witli the bituminous operators. The objeot of their joining in the conference is to onrb the growth of unionism in the eastern ooal mines. There exists among the Western Pennsylvania, Indiana, Ohio and Il linois ooal operators an agreement kuown as the interstate agreement, whereby the operators annually meet the United Uine Workers of the var lOUß districts and settle on a mining rate tor the year. Tiie anthracite coal operators are unwilling to deal with the miners' onion, and have about »),- 000 miners employed in Eastern Penn sylvania under individual oontraots. All the wage soales in these states expire April 1: in fact, nearly all the mining scales of theoonntry expire ou that date. It is to meet this crisis that the meeting has boeu called in Oiii oago next November. Tiie miners arc getting better wages than ever in the hitlory of the industry, taking work ing facilities into consideration The interstate prioe is based ou 85 oents per ton for soft ooal mined and run ovor an inoli and one-quarter Bcreen. Some of the Western ooal operators want this rcdooed to 70 cents n ton, and the miners will meet with this proposal in January at the wage con ference.The eastern operators will not be represented at this January gather ing. It is believed that the miners rep resentatives will refuse to accept tiie redaction, and the minjs will be clos ed down nntil one side or the other is starved out. Aa a result, the anthraoite operators have begun piling up coal, aud will fill their docks at both ends of the lakes, and will load every boat, barge and aoow obtainable with coal between now and April 1. The operators have reaohed an nnderstajdiug whereby uo oontraots are to be aocepted for coal between uow and April 1 for delivery after April 1. Cross ley Goes Free. But little news develops abont the Oonrt House and it is difficult to be lieve that Oourt is in session, oven in the pieseut restricted sense. The Grand Jury is putting in full hoars •nd the witnesses awaiting Iheir turn to be oalled before this body may be aeeo strolling about the building and grounds, but beyond these the court room and the corridors aie for the m«at part empty. When Oourt convened yesterday morning with Associate Judges Thomp aon and Blee on the bench the Grand Jury had two bills to return. Oue of these was the case of Commonwealth vs. Harman Weigold, the charge be ing assault and battery. In this case the bill was ignored and the costs plaoed upon tho proseontor, Jacob Hort. The second case was that of Commonwealth vs. George Crossley. The oharge was also assault aud bat tery and the bill was likewise ignor ed. The oosts were put upon the coun ty. The proseontor in Orossloy's oase was Isaao Frehafer. In the oase of Commonwealth vs. Harry Sliutt upon the motion of the Distriot Attorney the Court grauted a nol. pros, upon payment of oosts.

A. gymnasium classes will resume the season's work next Monday afternoon at 4 :80 o'clock with the junior class on the floor, when an ontline of the winter's work will be presented. The indications point to large aud enthusiastic classes, as tho general publio are fast coming to realize the value of proper muscular exercise. The efforts that have been put forth dur iug previous seasons have yielded flat tering resnlts, as all who attended the olassoß regularly were much benfitted both physioally and mentally. Tho work at the Y. M. O. A. will necessarily bo more or lens handicap ped in all its branches in tho begin ning of the season owing to the ab sence ot a General Seoretary, and this fact will necessitate a ohauge of sohed nle and the discontinuance of several of the gymnasium olasses,among whioh will be the afternoon men's and the ladies' classes. This condition will bo relieved after November Ist, when Mr. O. H. Johnson will arrive and take charge of the Secretary's duties. Previous to his arrival Mr. Carpenter will, with some of the members, have chargo of the atfairß of the Associa tion. The schedule of gymnasium classes is as follows: I Business Men.

J also called to the negligence or the refasal of the township supervisors to keep the roads under their supervision in good repair. Sach negligence or refasal is a lnißdemeauor ;aud while it is a convenience for supervisors to ap portion the roads in the several parts of the township to the supervisor mOBt convenient thereto, yet the negligence or refasal of one supervisor to keep the roads in good repair does not ex cuse the others aud each is made li able to ccuviotiou as a misdemeanor for such negligence or refusal. It is the duty of the township supervisors to remove and take away the loose stones from traveled roads or high ways in such townships at least once each month during the months of May, June, August anil October, in each year, and negligence or refasal to do so makes them liable to pay a flue or penalty not exoeeding ten dollars for each offenso on their part. While the latter offeuso is not the subject of iuquiry of the Grt.ud Jury, yet the Court deemed it advisable to call it to their atl ntion as a meaus of disseminating information relating to the same in the several communities of the county. The traveling publio of the several townships, he said, should insist upon this provision of the legislature being carried out. The Associate Judges announced that Court during the week will oon vuue each day at 9 a. m. aud at 3 p. m., which will enable the Urand Jury to presont their returns twico daily. In the interim the court room will bo in charge of the tip stalls, who will look after the witnesses and see that they appear before the Grand Jury as needed. Sees' case, which was aoted upon first, was the only one returned yesterday afternoon. LIGHT HEARTED ROBBER SENTENCED Edward Huyes, whose burglarious exploits have Riven him so mocli con spicoity during the past month, was oalled before Judge Aateu atSunbury, yesterday afternoon, and plead guilty to robbing the Liedy store in Milton.jj Hayes, made quite a speeuh in his own behalf and had the audacity to tell the Judge that he was honest and but a victim of circumstances. He asked the judge to be "light with him" and he was sentenced to pay a fine of ten dollars, costs of proseoution aud serve two years in the county jail at hard labor. When his term expires- there will likely be more coming to Edward. On the wav to the jail Hayes appeared to he satinfipil with the verdiot and laugh ed and joked nil the way from the oourt houEG to prison.

SCHOOL BOARD IN SESSION The School Board held a regular meeting Uouday were preseut as follows; Adams, Harpel, Purse), Haring, Burns,Fischer, Werk beisor, Orth and Trambower. Dr. Joseph Zeisler appeared before the Board asking that the children of the Jewish faitli be granted a holiday on October Utli, the Day of Atonement or in other words, that no deductions be made for recitations missed on that day. It was the sense of the members that they had no jurisdiction in' the matter, it boing a question of sectarian ism which can not enter into sohool legislation under the State law. On motion maps were ordered for the Fourth Ward Qrammar School. The depot school property was sold to James Foster for 1860, subject to Attorney's approval. On motion window onrtainß were ordered for the sohooU of the Second and Fourth Wards. The new conrse of study was re ported as satisfactorily completed.

Mottern 8.00 MINOR MATTERS OF INTEREST The traotion engine bought by Oounoil as a sort of a venture a few years ago has proven a most valuable appnrtenanoe of the Borough. It has served its owners in various capacities and has been muoli sought for by out siders. Yesterday it was taken up to Bloomsburg where it will assist in paving ono of the streets of that town. The early history of the traotion en gine is not clear. It already had a career when it fell into the hands of Daniel M. Oorry aud Edward W. Pet ers, who sold it to the Borough at a bargain. It was a most important factor during the recent improvements made in the borough aud was used to pump water out of the sewer trenoh and to operato the centrifugal pump in removing the mod from the wells at the water works; it was used for crushing stone and for dragging the heavy road plow in breaking op trie street where excavation was neoeßsary for paving. During the Bummer past it was on duty at DeWitt's Hark where it served as a motor for the merry-go round,proviug quite as muoli of a suc cess in chasing the hobby horses around and keeping up mosio ou the liaud organ as it was in pumping walet or dragging tlie road plow. Compared to an automobile the trac tion engine in point.of speed is not a record breaker. It had all day beiore it however, yesterday and it got to Bloomsburg before night. It is leased by Qeorge W. Kieter of that place, who will employ it in breaking stone. Frank Magill, teacher in the Com mercial Department of the Danville High Sohool, who was off duty last week owing to illnesß, has resumed oharge of his sohool this week. Our pnblio soliools are moving along swim mingly and under the capable teaoli iug of Mr. Magill the Oommeroial De partment is by no means behind the others. As the cool evenings of autumn ap proach the river bridge is less papular as a plaoe of promenade. It will be only a short time until the bridge will be avoided except by tliose who are obliged to oross. One heats nothing more about the proposition to pave East Uarket street tliis fall. It is not improbable that further agitation o! the matter will be postponed until next spring. It is expected that 50,000 men and boys will be in line in Soianton. on Mitoliell Day. John Mitchell will at tend the oelebration at that plaoe. John Sherwood, who was so serious ly burned at the Stove Works accid ent, was able to appear on the streets for the first time Saturday. FODL PLOT TO BORDER SHERIFF Jolin Sees, David Barrett, and El mer Haldermau were arraigned before Justice of the Peaoe W. V. Ogiesby on Satorday charged with attempting to break jail. Not only were the three men, already awaiting trial on serionß charges, held for court on the addition al charge, but during the hearing the use of the cudgol found eeoroted above the doorway was fully explained; this was to be appplied to the vile purpose of murder; the victim was to be the Sheriff and the mau who was to strike the fatal blow was one who had pre viously disclaimed all ocnnection with the attempt to break jail. | The Information lodged before Jus tice W. V. Ogleßby by Sheriff George Maiers Saturday morning sets foith as follows; "That 011 the 17th day of September at the oonnty jail, Uontour county, John Sees, David Barrett and Elmer Haldormau, beiug prisoners in said jail, charged with iudictakle of fenses, did break prison, although no escape was actually made, contrary to the Aot of the General Assembly in such cases made aud provided." The hearing took plaoe at 11 o'olook. The arrangements had been conducted with great oautiou and secreoy and thus was a crowd at the hearing avoid ed. David Barrett and Elmer Halder mau were brought down from the jail haudouffed together by Officer John Qricr Voris; John Sees, also hand cuffed, was in charge of Ohief-of-Po lioo Mincemoyer,while Sheriff George Maiors followed with George Oross ley, who although a prisoner, was not oharged with jail breaking bnt was wanted as a witness The hearing was coudnoted by Dis trict Attorney Ralph Kisner. The in formatiou was read, and the men ar raigued were asked whether they had anything to say,whether guilty or uot guilty.at the same timo the usual pre caution being taken to remind them of their prerogative in the matter and to warn them that what they said might be used against them. All three of the men—Sees, Halderman and Bar rett—pleaded ' Not Goilty." Sheriff George Miners was the first witness sworn. He deoribed the at tempt to break jail as printed in these ooiumns Tuesday morning, emphasiz ing the {act, that it was only in Sees' and Halderman's cell that he found any of the bars sawed. George Orosßley the principal wit ness, followed the Sheriff. Geotge who is held on a charge of assault and battery, was out a couple of days last week on his own recoguizanoe to at tend his mother's fuueral. On Satur day he had resumed his plaue behind the bars. Berne sworn, Ueorge testifi ed that he knew of the attempt made by Sees, Haldol man and Barrett to es oapo. He rotated how the saws came in through the rear window. Sees, Halderman and Barrett, he said were all three in the plot to escape. He was quite sure, however, that Barrett had done no part of the sawing, just as it was shown by the Sheriff's testimony that none of the saws or other imple ments were found in Barrett's cell. The sawing, Crossley Bwore, win done on Sunday the 17th inst by S'es and Haldurman. The most sensational part of Oross ley's"tostiuiouy occurred when be ex plained the purpose to whioh the heavy ohair leg, secreted above the oage door was to be applied by the prisoners In their attempt to escape. It was a part of their plan that Cross ley was to play off sick—that was all they asked of liiin. Taking advantage of the liberty accorded them Sees was to be out in the small corridor be tween the cells cloauing np things. Orossley's agonizing cries were to snm mou the Sheriff, who unsuspectingly was relied npon as was his wont to unlook tho cage door and enter. At this moment, according to Orossley, Sees was to seize the (liab and deal the Sheriff a blow npou the head,after whioh the official was to be dragged back into tho cage by the men, who had sawed their way out of the oells; the oage door was to be relockcd and safe beyond the possibility of discov ery and pursuit the prisoners were to walk ont of jail. This part of the testimony will be reoeived with a great deal of surpriso, as Sees at the heariug of Seitz and Hahn, arrested as confederates a week ago, disclaimed all connection with the attempt to break jail and gave testimony, whioh was instrumental in holding those two for trial. Beyond his plea of "not guilty" Barrett maintained a silence during the hearing. He frequently shifted his Dosition to nse the spittoon behiud him and as the hearing proceeded rose to his feet and moved a couple of steps forward. In this position he stood during tho latter part of the hearing. Halderman was of a much moro excitable disposition and was inoliuod tot.ilk As the desperate pur pose of murder seemed to be Hied up on the prisoners Halderman voluntari ly confessed his own pirt and charged the premeditation of murder to Sets. Halderman said: "I did not want to innrder Meiers— I wanted to get out, if I could, in a quiet way, but I would not commit murder." He intimated that Beet- wns the oue that was to oarry out that part of the diabolioal plot and added in dignantly : "Sees was into it as diep as any of us until we were caught aud then he turned dead n; ain.-'t us and gave the thing away." Sees murmured something that was to the effect that they "w.iutad him to use the olub on the Sheriff." Halderman was ready with a retort: "If you tell a mail togo aud hang himself aud he does, then lie ought to go." Tile Justice held the three men each in bail. AH the pi isoners, how ever, were each already in jail in de fault of 11000 bail the matter of bail iu the present case was inconsequenti al and they were remanded to prison with little ceremony. The offense of jail breaking carries with it a penalty of two years' im prisonment. There are 10H prisoners in the Lo higli county jail—high water mark, or else the mark of somethiug stronger than water. NEW WORK AT THE HOSPITAL It is stated positively by those in a position to know that building opera tions at the Hospital fox the Insane' will be started this fall. On Saturday the enoouraging news was given ont that ground might be broken inside of thirty days. The buildings to be started inolode not only the Light aud Power Plant bat also the buildings to relieve over crowding. Just what shapi the latter may assume is not claarat present,but there seems to be 110 doubt bat that the long interim between the signing of the bill aud the preseut has been well improved, that all difficulties have been pretty well straightened out aud that the buildings decided upon are such as will meet general appro val. The delay in perfecting the plans for the Light and Power Plant, wliioh has held up the work is accounted for on tile grounds that the task involving as it does so muoli detail is an unusu ally tedious aud difficult one, whiob iu the hands of the greatest expert liv ing would bo the work of several months. It is Btated that the plans and speci fications for the Light and Power Plant are uow completed and are ready togo before the Building Com mittee of the Board of Trustees. On the whole it is safe to aesnme that be fore winter sets iu the worn will be in progreni and that a large number of men will find work on the Hospital grounds.
