A Well Known Comtractor and Builder Dies at His Home in Jersey Shore New Year's morning the solegraph wires brought the sad information that o ‘8S. H. Eyre, the contractor and builder had died at his home at Jersey Shore Mr. Eyre was the builder of the Palmer hoonse which will be opened in a few weeks, and was well known in Patton. The announcement of his death will be a surprise and regretted by very many people here who knew him. Mr: Eyre has done considerable work in Patton during the past year in the line of building. His principal contract was the erection of the Palmer bonse, now aboot completed. and which will. stand many years a monument to the bailder. (ther houses erected in Pat- ‘on by Mr. Eyre are tie residences of M7 John Asheroft, W. H. Sandford and Mr. Butler. Mr. Eyre was in Patton Jersey Shore to spend the holidays and was taken ill with 4d phtheria, which resulted fatally as sated [isceased was aged 33 years and was 3 young: man of exceptional executive ability. He was an active member of the Meth odist church and died in the faith of eternal happiness. Within two weeks: the family buried two children who were victims of the dread disease and the first of the year found the father ‘cold in death: A wife and one child re- main. who have the sympathy of many: friends in this place as well as at their home in Jersey Shore, The opening of the Pulmer house may be delayed a few days on account of Mr. F Eyre’s death, but the contract is so nearly completed that it will be fin- ished within the present month. Mr. Eyre’s business here was in such shape | that the work can proceed with searce- ly any interruption.

The firemen’s ball in the opera house on New Year's evening, was socially’ and financially a success. The young folks expected 2 good time on that evening, and they undonbtedly had it. Nothing was lacking. The room was nicely decorated with evergreen, flags and bunting, and the manic was excel- lent. The cakes and ice cream were fine and al etiquette and formality was dispensed with: this conld not-help but make it 2 very enjoyable affair. About 3 o'clock the first sot wasn formed and wn all the room in the pit of the - Opera Louse was taken ap by a merry crowd of dancers and continued so an- til midnight. Everybody was happy, even the baid heads in the gallery could be seen squirming on their seats and shuffling their feet. The cake walks were a feature of the evening in which all hands joined. The Anest cake was chanced off and the lucky number drawn by Mr. Beck of the Hotel Beck. Several cakes were put up at auction and knocked off to David Dale, Wm Storm and H. C. Beck. The amount re- alized by the fire company clear of all expences was about $70.00. This amount wil! he ample to pay the bal- ance on their new hose carriage and leave them quite a little sum to apply on home, of which the boys are very much in need. Licenne Court in Clearfield. Monday was an important day at Clearfield. It was the occasion of the granting of licenses, and Judge Gordon took the oath of office. He was sworn in by Prothonotary Bloom at 10 o'clock Monday morning and at 1 o'clock was introduced to the bar of the county by Judge Krebs, whom he succeeded. The new Judge responded in brief and ap- « propriate remarks and soon after was engaged in the most vexations and la “bortous work of the court—that of granting licenses. The number of ap- plicanss in Clearfield county was un- usnally large this year on account of a new judge appearing upen the bench, and the work of sifting the worthy ap- plicants from those who would be bet- ter without a license t » sell Hgnors was a diffi ult task here were mare than no two handed applicants in the county.

The Big Octopus at New Or- MEETING OF THE MINERS. ‘Enthusiastic Gathering at the Opera House. : REPORT FROM DUBOIS. © Mr. Bradley of the- SE Mine Workers : - Addressed the Hosting. The miners meeting in the opera house on Thesday night, waz attended by nearly ail the English speaking miners, with a fair number of Huns scattered through the hall Fnthosi: asm and good nature prevailed all even- ing. The meeting was called for the purpos: of receiving the report of the delegates, who were sent from Patton to the convention held in DuBois, De cember 27, 1302. After the rence” was read and acted opon, Mr. Hradiey the MW, A was introduced, and in: a speech ted to the satisfaction of the men pres ent, the necessity of thorough organi- zation. In his remarks “he stated - that coal contd not be forced on the market through ‘cheap digging. Ceon- sumers would not buy the product of the mines for the sole purpose of dump- ing them in the river because they could buy them cheap. His idea of an organization is, fo make it national. and he says a strong eftort will be made to bring every American mirer into the already strofig folds of the U M. W. A not for the purpose of insti tating strikes, but for seif protection, and practically. for the protection of the operator, who knows that in many cases cutting the price of digging coal - isonly temporary. He claims that when the Bell, Lewis & Yates company or dered a reduction, who claimed that Pittsburg coal was in sharp competition . with them in the Buffaic market, it was uncalled for, and a great injustice to the miner, and tha: it was not true that Pitteburg coal. was shipped into that market at all, in fact he powitively asserted, and proved it by the operators own organ. that coal in Beffalo was quoted five conta higher the day the eut was made, than one year previous. Mr. Bradley is a ffaent talker, and in all his remarks did not show the disposi- _tion of the demagoyme, but advised con- servatism, and saked the miners to al- ways be reasonably in all their demands After Mr. Bradiey tock his seat, the meeting went into executive session The question then was asked: Which organization will we join. the Miners Union or the K. of L's? After conski- erable debating it was finally left to a vote, and carried unanimously, that tre miners of Patton attach themselves mt a body tw) the Knighta of Labor which is the necret branch of the Uni- ted Mine Workers of ‘America The questicn of ssmi-monthly pay. was also discussed, on which a vote was taken, instructing miners to petition all oper ators fo conform with the law, and if ‘any refuse, to forward a copy of the pe- tion to the State Factory Inspactor. whose duty it is to prosecute all oper ators who decline to secede to the de mands of their employees. The miner; of Patton having attach- ed themselves to the Hastings check: ‘weighn ans fund, an aoditor, treasurer and secretary was elected to represent the miners of this section on that board. The nen-English speaking miners pres- _ent had two interpreters in the meet ing, who made everything plain to their countrymen, and who agreed to abide by the decision of the English speaking miners present. ; Just before the meeting closed, Mr. Richards member of the board of the Hastings checkweighman's furd took. the stand; and in ‘a fiften minutes speech emphatically denied the charges that he had embezzled $1000 from the Glen Richie Co-operrdive society. This accusation was first saarted in Patton, and Mr. Richards, in his remarks, sta- ted that the charge was as false as hades and as hlack as the bottomless pit, and pruved to the satisfaction of the men present thut the malicious le was stazted by the party he publically accuyad of being the maligner, through nace and enmity, and if it was not _ promptly stopped, the malicionsly in- clined person wonld be compelled to appear before a ‘bar of jastice. The speaker was enthusiastically cheered. The meeting then closed to meet again at the ea ll of. the Dist=ict presi. 1s ant A French Epitaph.
