On Tuesday morning of last week Richard Wade shot and killed Owen Edwards, at Borden Shaft. Md. Wade is a resident of Borden Shaft; Edwards was a resident of Scranton, Pa., but was working in the George's Creek mining region. It seems that both of the young men loved the same girl, Miss Rosa Crow, and that a dispute over the girl led to the crime. “What is home without a newspa- per?” asked an esoinnge, to which “Itis a place where old hats are stuffed into broken win- { dows; where the wife looks like a bag of wool with a string tied around her center; where the husband has a to- | bacco panorama printed on his shirt front, and the neglected children wipe | their noses on their jacket sleeves.” “I used Kodol Dyspepsia Cure in my family with wonderful results.

Mr. Wm. Wagner,one of Elk Lick township’s most prominent farmers, re- ports a freak calf recently born on his farm. The animal has five legs, four of which are in their proper place, while the extra leg is a small, short one that lays back on one of the shoulders. The extra leg does not seem to inconven- ience the calf in any way, and the young bovine is thriving and doing well. A county in Ohio has a lady road su- pervisor, and an exchange says she has ordered all the hills in her district to be cut low-necked and scalloped at the foot, the valleys gathered in, creeks hemmed in, all the culverts set bias, a double row of tucks run around the skirts of the hills, the bottom to be ruflled, and the hillsides to be embroid- ered with daisies and fringed with gold- en rod. What is probably the largest coffin ever made in this state the one in which the remains of William IH. Lotz, who recently died at Reading were placed. Lotz was over six feet tall and weighed 524 pounds. The coflin meas- ures six feet three inches in the inside, is three feet and two feet five inches deep. It is bound with iron to give it great strength, and the handles have been fastened to the sides by means of heavy bolts. Wm. Orr, Newark, O., says, “We nev- er feel safe without One Minute Cough Cure in the house.

ORLANDO FLESHER, Hanvey Hav, VY. BR. Savion, a Birthday Surprise. Last Thursday evening Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Shunk were pleasantly remem- bered and surprised by a large number of their friends and neighbors, suddenly and unexpectedly entered their home with a goodly supply of groceries, articles of wearing apparel, and some money, all of which was pre- sented to the worthy old couple. The old folks were almost wild with joy and surprise, and upon inquiring what it all meant, they were told it was Mrs. Shunk’s 61st birthday. A good supper was then prepared by the good women who were present which was greatly enjoyed by the en- tire company. After partaking of the supper, the evening was spent in pleas- ant conversation, and when the visitors departed they did so with the full knowledge that they had made two old hearts glad by strewing a few flowers of kindness in their rugged and thorny pathway through life. The old folks were so pleased that they hardly knew how to thank their friends enough, and all who were pres- ent wish the old couple many happy re- turns of the day. Grandpa and Grandma Shunk have worked hard all their lives, but they are now old and infirm, and the 'y have a hard time of making a living, zs neither one of them is able to do much work. | Mr. Shunk is an old veteran of the Civil War, and a better soldier, Tne informed, naver carried a gun.

All the miners of the Elk Lick region quit work on Tuesday morning, and by so doing they occasioned quite a sur- prise, as no such movement had been lovked for by the general public. What the miners quit work for is this: There is a difference of 5 cents per ton between the Elk Lick region and the George’s Creek region, and the miners are out for these 5 cents, which everyone knows is honestly due them 1 | There used to be a difference of ten 1 | cents per ton, as the freight rate from this region to tide-water used to be ten cents per ton higher than from the George's Creek region. A few years nowever, the B. & O. Railroad Company reduced its freight rate ten {s per ton from this region, making it the same as from George's Creek 1| But instead of giving the miners the benefit of the reduction, the Elk Lick operators advanced the price of min- ing but 5 cents per ton. In this they did wrong, and the miners are now asking only what is their just due. The miners of this region a short time ago asked the operators to meet them in joint conference, in Meyers- | dale, the object being to talk their dif- | ferences over. But the operators en- tirely ignored the request of the min- { ers, and this is what caused them to quit work so suddenly. We have always contended that em- ployers make a mistake when they re- fuse to meet their employes in confer- ence, and we think this instance is no exception to the rule. The way to break up labor unions is for the opera- tors everywhere to do as they did in the Connellsville region, where they have voluntarily raised wages to a fair and just standard. The miners there are so well satisfied, that when an or- ganizer recently visited that region, not enough men would stop work to listen to what he: had to say. Under existing circumstances Tne Srar of | course favors organization ; but if em- | ployers would do the square, just thing | all over this prosperous land of ours, | there would be no need of labor unions, and everybody would be better, more | prosperous and more s happy, 1 1 | ago, 2 Another Big Coal Company.
