When arraigned last night the

Fred Cox, a Brakeman on the
Lehigh Valley Railroad, Liter-
ally Ground to Pieces Early
This Morning
Terribly mutilated and bruised
from head to foot, the dead body of
brakeman who has been boarding
for some time at the Osborne
House on North Lehigh avenue,
was brought to Sayre this morning
trom Coxton on passenger train
No. 19, and later taken to P. H.
O'Shea’s undertaking rooms.
Cox met death instantly in the
Coxton yards between 12 and 1
o'clock this morning. He left
Sayre last night at 6:20 o'clock as
the head brakeman on an empty
coal train drawn by engine No.
1358, A. E Waldborn, engineer.
When Coxton was reached it was
"necessary to shift a number of cars
and Cox went ahead of his train to
ascertain where the cars should be
placed. In the meantime the coal
train was’ standing on the main
tracks and in front cf the train was
a single engine. Cox stepped in
front of this engine to one of the
the switch tracks, and as he did so
a large ppsher engine run him
down. He fell directly underneath
the wheels and his life was instant-
ly crushed out. The pusher engine
was stopped and the crew pulled
Cox's body from underneath the
wheels. Cox's body was terribly
lacerated and his clothing was
nearly torn of He was placed on
board No. 19 and brought to Sayre,
The deceased brakeman was
about 2; years of age and had
been in the employ of the Lehigh
for several years. He was a mem
ber of the order of Railway Train-
men, under whose direction the
funeral will occur. The funeral will
probably be held in the Baptistt
church on Sunday afternoon, the
Rev. Ira Hotaling officiating. He
is survived by his wife and one
sister, the latter a resident of Was
verly.
AN INTERESTING STORY
You sometimes find a story of
such absorbing interest that when
you begin to read it you have to
exert a great deal of will power to
make yourself even take time to
eat or sleep until you have com-
pleted it. Such ‘a story is the
“Prisoner of Zenda,” and it is ren-
dered doubly interesting when told
by a dramatic reader of thé ability
of Miss Maude Willis.
Miss Willis is an instructor in
this line of work, and has been at
the Bradford county institute for
two ycars, where she was listened
to by the teachers of this and every
other town in the county, and they
are all unanimous in their prajse of
her work. It was due to their
recommendation that her services
were secured for this occasion, and
she will appear at the Sagge high
evening. “The Prisoner of Zenda"
constitutes only part of the pro-
gram however, and there are sev-
eral other amusing and witty
selections, off
The price—children 10c, and
adults 20c—bas been placed at the
minimum amount, only one-third
to one-half the usual price, with a
small addition of 5c for reserved
seats, which can be secured at
Driggs’ drug store.
CARNEEE 1S READY
W. R Stevenson, secretary of
the vestry of the Church of the
Redeemer, has received a commus
nication from Andrew Carnegie, in
which the latter signifies his will-
ingness to pay half the purchase
price of the new Kimball pipe
organ which is now in Chicago
awhiting shipment. The instrument
costs $2,800, and when half of this
amount 1s raised by the church, the

A Large Crowd Present and a
Fine Program Rendered at
Meeting Held Last Night
The entertainment given in
Trainmen's hall evening by the
local Aerie of Eagles will go on
record as eclipsing anything in a
similar line that has yet been at-
tempted by this popular and
rapidly _ growisg organization,
Previous to the entertainment a
business session of the order was
held at which nine candidates were
initiated and other important mat-
ters disposed of. Then followed
the entertainment and the com-
mittee in charge of the same fairly
out did themselves. A fine pro-
gram, which in many respects was
the equal of those given on the
professional stage was rendered
Those who participated were mem-
bers cf the order and each number
received round after round of aps
plause. The program which was
of considerable length, consisted of
singing, dancing, instrumental
selections, recitations and speeches
and wound up with LaHone,
Sayre's capable exponent of leger-
demaind. After the entertainment
refreshments were served and the
1big crowd made merry until the
hours grew late. In all there were
nearly two hundred present, in-
cluding guests from Towanda,
Waverly, Ithaca, Owego and Pitt-
ston. The visiting brethren declare
that they had the time of their
lives. Those who had the affair in
charge are receiving many deserved
compliments for the manner in
which the program in all its details
was carried out.

begin on Monday next. The ans
dered a suspension of work and the
biiumincu; conference las ad
journed without coming to
agreement. The crisis came yes
terday in both fields. The bitumi
nous miners offered to restore the
scale of 1903 for twd years, which,
when rejected, precipitated a sus-
pension of negotiations and means
that a strike cannot be avoided in
this field The miners have pro-
posed a joint meeting for Tuesday
next but it is not believed thata
settlement can be reached. The
present wage scale expires March
3t and on Moaday next it is
expected that between 300,000 and
400,000 miners will cease work
If the strike is not settled in its
mfancy the following will give
some idca of what it means when
the miners decide to lay down their
tools: :
During the last coal strike in
1902 the financial. loss was placed
at $100000000. Of this amount
$29,000,000 was lost in wages by
the miners, while the loss to em
ployes of coal carrying roids was
nearly as great. The number of
men involved was 140000 This
year, if the soft coal miners go dn
a strike, the total number of men
involvedgwill be about 350,000, and
the loss will therefore be corres.

was incurred by the strike of 1902,
