Reply from the Operators.
The convention of miners at Altoona
Monday was awaited with considerable
anxiety by both miners and operators
of Central Pennsylvania, and it is hoped
_ that it may be the means of a final ad-
~ jostment of differemce and that the
strike may be declared off in a few days.
It is understood that the operators met
at Philadelphia Wednesday, which was -
: $00 late to get a report of their meeting
in this issue. Concerning the conven-
tion Monday the Altoona Times says:
Every train into the city yesterday
bore delegates to the convention, many
of whom had spent the greater portion
of their lives down in the earth digging
for coal. They were an intelligent loek-
ing set of men, too, but their faces wore
an anxious éxpression, probably as to
the outcome of their meeting. After
noon they began to assemble at the cor-
- mer of Eleventh and Thirteenth street,
- where the hall is located in which the
sessions were to be held, and not long
afterwards they were occupants of the
room of the Carpenters’ and Joiners’
union. :
At 2 o'clock District President T. A.
Bradley called the convention to order

Militia on the Scene.
The sitoation at Punxsutawpey Mon-
day was not extremely exciting, yet
two small contacts with a few boister-
to the spectators for the time being.
At Walston early Monday morning a
half dozen or so of men were put to
work at filling in the washout ard to
‘do other repair work near the tipple.
This enraged a lot of [talian women,
who made an assault on the coal and
iron police who were guarding the
workmen, taking their guns from them
and otbirwise offering indignities.
Capt. D. M. Rigor telephoned Gen.
Wylie, who detailed Company I, of
Warren, to disperse the women. They
very quickiy reported at the scene of
disturbance and under command of
Capt. Winador put thé women to flight.
While this was going on hundreds of
spectators were on the hillsides.
A battle somewhat similar to the one ceremony dinner will be served in the
at Walston enlivened the monotony at
Anita the morning. A large
gang of women, all foreigners made
an attack on the police commanded hy
Capt. Clark. They were finally routed
by the militia, but not until one of the
women had grasped a piece of plank
having a spike in the end of it and slash-
ed it across the face of the captain, mak-
ing an ugly wound. Eighteen Ttalians
and a number of Slavs and Huns were
taken to Anita, but after learning the
situation refused to work.

THAT KIDNAPPING CASE

The Carvolitown News was very par-
ticnlar to give as minute an account of
the Letts Kidnapping afleir, and of the
judgement rendered in favor of H. C.

capable of, but it was as particular in
not mentioning the fact that the same
H. C. Seanian had been prosecuted for
not maintaining his wife and child and
for which he will have to answer at. the
‘mext term of oonrt, A more anwar-
rantable case never issued from a

during the tirne for which she is sued
The parties in the conspiracy
for boodle were well aware of the fact
that the so-called attempt to kidnap
Edwin, son of H. C. Scanlan, was only
an attempt to assist the mother of the

As it has become a general custom
throughout this section for newspapers
to suspend publication during the week
of the Poarth of July the CorRIER will
join the ranks already so eng estab

this office next week. Our devil, whe
has been unusually faithful in the per-
formance of his duties for some time
past, will thus be given an opportanity
to shoot fire crackers, drink red lemon-
ade and indulge in all the frivolities of
youth and if in the indulgence of his
caprices he becomes in need of repairs
' we will have ample tine to baste him
up before the next issue of the Cotr-

CHURCH DEDICATION,
The New Catholic Church at 5, Augustine

The new Catholic church at St
Augustine will be dedicated Sunday,
July 1st, with imposing ceremonies.
The dedication will he performed by
Rt. Rev. Bishop Phelan of Pittsburg,
assisted by Rt. Rev. Bishop Ludden, of
Y., Rev. Father Wall, V.
G., of St. Peter's church, Allegheny,
and Rev. Fathers Galliher, Corcoran,
Doyal and Kaylor of Pittsburgh, as
well a8 many neighboring prieste. Rev.
Fathers James and Anthony Ladden
of Albany, N. Y., will also be present.
The ceremony will be among the
most imposing of its kind. It is not
offen ountaide of large cities that such a
large number of the clergy is seen to-
assembled on that
gether as will be
day. which is of course, largely due to
Father Ludden’s extensive acquaint-
ance and exceeding popularity. The
old charch war built in 1850 and the
new stracture will show that Father
Ludden and his congregation have
kept pace with the times. The task of
its building was an herculian one, but
it i» finished now and ready to dedicate
to the service of God. A large crowd
of people is expected to be in there on
the day of dedication, and arrange-
ments are made for the accommaoda-

Near Patton,
Notwithitanding the general dit
sion over the country, and particularly
in the hituminons coal region. Putton
is holding ite own and there is an air
of prosperity and confidence in the fa-
ture that is encouraging. People who
have invested here, and built homes
and business places; have the ssa faith
in the future of town that they had a
year ago, when the mires were work-
ing full and Patton had not heard of
the hard times. The mines sre still
here; Patton is young, and her: people
have come here tc make a town. I
has been a long time since the inaago-
ration of the strike and there have been
many, very many discouraging days to
| all interested in the future of Patton,
but the end is seemingly in sight and
with the settiement of the strike renew-
ed hope and renewed prosperity will
retarn. During these spring und sam-
mer days when there have been more
idle men in Patton than employed, eiti-
zens have not neglected opportunities.
A commercial club has been organised.
The prospects for inducing ny new
manufactory or husinessto come hare
during the depressing times were not
encouraging, but the darkest cloud has
a silver lining and success is the re
ward of eternal vigilance. While the
Commercial club has not yet been di-
rectly successful in bringing any new
people here an opportunity now pre-
sents itwelf that is being looked! after in-
dustriously. Messrs. Swift Broa, whole-
sale dealers and shippers of beef, of

territory and want to get in. The Com-

‘can be offtred to them to late here
will be readily and carefully extended.
location of the wholessde house
here will not only be an indirect but a
‘direct benefit to Patton.
‘Another matter that will be jouked
after by the commercial club is the es-
tablishment of a creamery, concerning
which the Carrolitown News of last
week says: “A meeting of interested
farmers was held at Carroiltown Moe-
day evening to consider plans fbr the or
ganization of a stock company’ to oper.
ate a creamery. The agent of s Chicago
house that deals in creamery machinery 3
was present and gave an eslimate of
the cost, which was placed uf $3,500.
1t was agreed that solicitors should im-
mediately go among the farmers to se- -
cure stock subscriptions up to $5000,
and another meeting to perfect the or- -
. ganization be held within a week or ten
days. The crenmery, which ‘will be lo-
cated at Putton or Carrolltown, will be
conducted on the co-operative plan.”
A Happy Wedding.
Bennett Wenkland, of Paiton, and
Miss Stevens, of Loretto, were married
at Loretto Tuesday, June 19th, as was
announced in the Cotmnme, with a
