Big Rush for Shoes.
It Is doubtful It ever there was a
salo In Reynoldsville where there was
such a mad rush for bargains as there
was at Williams' shoe fire sale in the
opera house block Saturday. From the
time tho doors were opened In the morn
ing until closed In the evening the
large store room was crowded wltb
people jostling each other In their ef
forts to get the best shoes they could
find for least money. And as in all
such cases there were a number of
thieves prosent and, no doubt, some of
them succeeded in stealing shoes,
although there were two or three de
tectives at tho door and In the store
room. Three men and one woman were
caught after they got out of the store
room and the shoos taken from them,
but no arrests wore made. One man,
who had three pair of' shoes In his
pockets, was followed a square before
be was caught. He gave up tbe shoes.
Women with cloaks on had best ad
vantage to get out of the store with
stolon shoos, but several of them, who
looked suspicious when stopped at door
and asked to show their bundle, donled
of having any bundle, stepped back Into
crowd laid down tbe shoes they had
under their arms and went out without
buying shoes. In the two days, Satur
day and Monday, Williams sold all his
stock 3,000 pairs of shoes.

that nt a meeting of the officers of U.

that there was a settlement of the dif
ferences between Mr. Robinson's com
pany and the miners of this district and
that the men were to resume work,
Immediately, but there seems to bave
been some misunderstanding, at least
the miners' delegates have refused to
accept tbe proposition, and the strike
is still on. Following Is a copy of the
Indianapolis proposition:
"Work to be resumed on same basis
of price for mining and day labor and
conditions as existed at the beginning
of the last scale year.
"except at Kleanora the miners snail
push the cars one way In all rooms that
are now or may hereafter be equipped
with Iron rail, otherwise present condi
tions of mule haulage tocontlnue.
"And at the Florence mine, cars Bre
to be handled after botb mule and elec
tricity bv pushing one wav. except In
such places now working and equipped
ior electric haulage.
"The present conditions of pushing
cars to continue until such rooms are
exhausted, or worked out. After which
the cars during present scale year will
be hauled one wav and pushed one way,
as customary after regular mule haul
age." A convention of the delegates from
various works of the R. & P. and J. &
C. C. & I. Companies was held at Punx
sutawney Monday of this week. Com
mittees waited on Mr. Robinson, but
tbore was no settlement reached, and
after reaffirming the resolutions of
April 1st the delegates adjourned.
We have been Informed that the only
basis of settlement that will be consider
ed by the miners is that proposed at
Altoona convention.
A mass meeting of the Reynoldsville,
Soldier, Sykesville and Ratbmel miners
will be held at 10.00 a. m. to-day. If

will be held at Fuller's watering trough,

Howe presented the play of "David
Garrlck" as a monologue. Every char
acter In tho play Is good, and it re
quires a good actor to render any of
tbem well. But on Tuesday evening
Mr. Howe took tho- whole of them In
hand and rondored the play as well as a
company of players would have done
Each part was well acted, the char
acters clearly drawn, and the group'
lng of the characters capitally done. It
required but little stretch of imagina
tion to people tbe stage with the varl
ous performers so perfectly and easily
did Mr. Howe drop out of one character
and into another. It was a most artlstlo
performance and Mr. Howe merits the
highest praise for bis work. Dover
