Four men who worked at the Falls Creek tannery died from poison In the past ten days and two others are dan gerously ill. There are two theories advanced for tho poisoning. One is that there is a disease in the hides, which wore shipped from Russia, known as anthrax which can bo transmitted to a man. Another is that the arson lo used at the tannery, which Is a large quantity dally, has soaked Into the ground and gotten Into tho wolls. At that tannery two ounces of arsenic are used on each side and there are eight hundred sides tanned dally. As the tannery people have dlsinfocted all 'the hides In stock, It Is evident that they think the poison comes from that source. Pretended at Suicide. "Mag" Bash, who Is now married to a Norwegian and lives on "Poverty Flat," threatened to drown herself in yie Sandy Llek creek Saturday after noon, and to carry out the threat she jumped Into the stream where the wa ter was about eighteen Inches deep. "Mag" went up the stream a short dis tance, whore she was sure tho water was not deep, and threw hor shoes Into the creek. The Norwegian waded In af ter the shoes, which gave the would-bo suicide tho exact depth of the water and then she made a rush for a watery grave. The Norwegian was nearby and he bravely plunged into the placid waters knee deep and rescued "Mag." She did not offer ny resistance when led out of the stream. The Miners Are Out. At a meeting of the miners and mine laborers of Reynoldsvllle and Rathmel, held near Frescottvlllo Monday, the men decided to refuse to go to work until two matters were adjusted by the coal company. The checkwelghmen receive their monoy through the office, and If we have been correotly informed, the company refuses to keep out the money tor the present checkwelghmen and want the men to put on new check welghmen, which they will not do. An Italian who was a delegate at the convention in this place last Wednes day, baa since lost his job. The com pany claims that he was discharged for loading slate in his car, but as the Ike's companion in the mine was not discharged, the men think he was dis charged because he attended the meet ing as a delegate. The men want the company to keep out the pay for their present checkwelghmen and give the Italian work again. These are the two reasons why the minors are Idle. The statement that appeared In the Courier yesterday that the miner ot this place had marched to Eleanora Monday evening to get the men at that place to strike, was false. They did not go to Llsanora. SUICIDE OR MURDER. Dwlgh'. Wilson Shot In the Hesd With a ! Target Oun. A tragedy occurred at Skunk Hollow, a ha'f mile east of Rathmel, Saturday night about cloven o'clock, which end ed the earthly career of Dwlght S. Wilson, of Spring Brook, N. Y., who was found with a bullet hole In his left tumplo. Dr. 8. O. Gorman, of Rath mel, was called, but the man was dead when ho arrived. When It was known that Wilson was dead, Justice L, A. Hays wa notified and ho empanelled a jury as follows, A. W. Mulhollaml, William Lylo, L. L. Henry, G. W. Mohney, Goorge Hughes and W. A. Ilutler, and held an inquest. After hearing two witnesses, Johnson and his supposed wife as she swore Saturday night she was Johnson's wlfo the Inquest was postponed until Monday morning. 'Squire Hays notified County Coroner Cox, of Hlg Run, of tho tragedy and he was to be present Monday morn ing, but ho did not arrive until noon. In tho mean tlmo tho woman connected with the affair, acknowledged that Johnson was not her husband but that Wilson wus, and at tho inquest Monday afternoon tho woman swore Wilson was hor true husband. In June, of this year, a Swede named Chan. E. Johnson, eamo to Mr. Hanna's saw milt In Skunk Hollow looking for work, which he was successful In secur ing. About a week after a woman came to Mr. Hanna's looking for Johnson, hor brothor. When Informed that Johnson was looking for his wife, she then said she was his wlfo. They re mained at Hanna's about a wock as man and wife. The testimony of Johnson and Mrs. Wilson their statements hung well togothor give tho facts about as fol lows: Johnson got acquainted with Wilson and his wife at nrock mines, near Brockwayvllle. Johnson and Mrs. Wilson became attached to one another and Wilson loved his wlfo's stater hot ter than he did his wife, and he gave her to Johnson without asking a cent for her, and Johnson "say, all right," according to his testimony. Johnson came to Skunk Hollow, got work, sent for tho woman, she camo and they lived one week at Hanna's as man and wlfo. A woek after the woman's arrival Wil son came and thon Johnson rented a houso near tho mill and all three of thorn wont to live in it. Jon h son testi fied that Wilson and the woman lived as man and wife there, but that he paid the rent and living expenses. Friday last Wilson bought a target rifle with which he practiced considerably Friday ovenlng and Saturday. Saturday even ing all throe camo down to Reynolds vllle, returning home about ton o'clock. Mrs. Wilson got supper, after which Wilson got the gun and fooled with It in the kitchen about five minutes and then went out of the house. Soon after Johnson heard a shot and something fall, Mrs. Wilson being a trifle deaf, did not hear the shot. Thoy ran out and found Wilson lying on the ground with blood on the side of his face. Johnson ran for tho doctor, but Wilson was dead before Dr. Gorman arrived. The doctor said In his testimony that the ball entered the brain 2i Inches from temple at an angle of 20 degrees up ward and 25 to 30 degrees backward. Doctor said bo believed it was a case of suicide. Wilson was left handed and for that reason shot himself in left tem ple. The verdict of the jury was that Wil son met death at his own hands or at the hands of some one unknown to the Jury. A large number of people are of the opinion that there was foul play in thia case and the verdict of the Jury don't help matters very much, and shows that the jury was not fully satisfied as to cause of death. The woman and Johnson lived one week together as man and wife; the woman swore Sat urday night that she was Johnson's wife and on Monday swore she was Wilson's wlfo which made her liable for adultery and perjury. These two were the only ones present when Wil son was sbot and he died without leaving any testimony. The target gun was about two and a half feet long, there was no sign of powder on the man's temple. To a representative of The Star the bullet bole looked entirely too large for a target bullet. It would have been the proper thing for the Coroner to have held a post-mortem examination. The poor overseers of Wlnslow town ship bought a coffin, had the body pre pared for burial and delivered it at the B., R. & P. R'y station at Falls Creek yesterday forenoon and Amos L. Wil son, a farmer of Orchard Park, N. V., took charge of It there and took the remains of his son home with bim for burial. "Century Run."' The following six young men made a "century run" on their bicycles Sunday, via Rldgway and St. Marys: A. H. Swartz, Albert SchulUe, Goorge Ay res, Jos. Williams, Gordon Lowther and James Butler.

' Delegates from the various mines of the Jefferson A Clearfield Coat and Iron Company held a convention In the Knights of Pythias hall In this place last Wednosday afternoon. The pres ent condition of the miners In this sec tion was thoroughly discussed and tho advisability of striking for better wages was carefully considered. The follow ing resolutions were adopted: Wiikkkar, The great struggle now being waged In jmrtlons of five states by the mining craft for a general ad vance In wages, and amelioration of the many wrongs to which our craft Is sub jected, commands tho support of every American citizen who believes In a fair day's pay for a fnlr day's work, there fore bo It ltrmlrrd, That we, the delegates representing the Jefferson and Clear Hold Coal and Iron Co., In convention assembled, extend our sympathy and moral support to our fellow miners now on strike, and concede to the Pittsburg district the front rank In their efforts to establish a living rate of wages. He It further HcmAvtd, That wo denounce tho ac tion of those operators who, by tholr greed and avarice, have been instru mental In reducing miners' wages to a starvation point, making It linHmslble for us to live as Americans should live In a land Rowing with milk and honey. llcmlvrd. That we denounce the ac tion of the Courts for issuing injunctions restraining and denying the right of free speech and tho peaceful assembling together to discuss questions of vital Interest to oursolvos and families, as being cowardly and unjust, and an In fringement iiHin our rights as conoeded us by the constitution. llrmtbml, That we appreciate the sympathy and financial support of other labor organizations and the publlu In general for the kindly Interest shown In the minors' behalf. Bo it further ltmthvd, That we regard the com pany stores as a standing menace to the best Interests of our craft and are re sponsible for the crowded condition of mines, making it impossible to earn an honest livelihood. We would urge every miner to unite and by concerted action declare, in no uncertain sound, the company store must go. ltrmlrrd. That we request the load ers in this fight to turn attention to Central Pennsylvania with a view of holding a general convention, as soon as possible, of all mines shipping to the eastern seaboard, to formulate a scale of prices and, If necessary, call the whole of Central Ponn'a Into the flold to assist our brothers in defonse of hon est weight, the abolition of company stores and a living mining rate.
