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

aeeo strolling about the building and
grounds, but beyond these the court
room and the corridors aie for the
m«at part empty.

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

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

was Isaao Frehafer.
In the oase of Commonwealth vs.
Harry Sliutt upon the motion of the
Distriot Attorney the Court grauted a

Oymnasium to Open Monday.
The Y. M. O. 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.

GRAND JURY RE
TURNS TRUE RILL
[Continued from First Page. 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.

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

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

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.

OF MANSLAUGHTER
Uniltv of voluntary manslaughter at
indioted, was the verdiot of the twelve
men seleoted in the Northumberland
county ooort to sit in judgment in th<
Battero murder case.
The verdict was the result of alnosl
Ave hours of deliberation on the evi
denoe>ubmitted during the trial.
I Judge Auten finished his charge,
whiolijwas fair and impartial to botl
the Commonwealth and the prisonei
at the bar, at fire o'clock Tuesday
evening, after wliich| the jnry retiree
to agree upon a verdiot. J
Court being in session at night, ti
hear the Wanzie trial, the jurors wen
instructed that in case they reachec
an agreement before adjournment, thej
could return the same at onoe. At a
quarter to ten o'clock, Tipstave Hoej
notified the Oourt that a verdiot ha<
been readied and he was instructed t<
bring in the jury.
| As the twelve meu Bled into th<
oourt room by the rear door there
oame a hushed siienoe over the orowd
of spectators which had greatly di
minished and the prisoner became the
target for all eyes.
The usual formal dialogue quicklj
passed and the verdiot was anuounoet
by the foreman. Battero was unmov
ed and did not seem to realize th<
meaning of the finding.
Counsel for the oonvioted man Im
mediately made a motion for the staj
ot judgment and time to file reasoui
for a new trial,which was allowed bj
the Court.
