The following is taken from the Cur-

H. Brainard, editor, last week in. ¢om-
pany with A. E. Patton and others on
a pleasure jaunt:
“Mr. P. K. 8prenkel and the Review
man were the guests of Mr. A. E. Pat-
ton last Monday on a trip to the new
town of Patton, driving from Curwens-
ville to Olanta and there boarding the
passenger on the Beech Creek for Ma-
‘haflfey where the party took dinner
with mine host J, DL Hepburn at the
Mahaffey houses. Df Witt manages one
of the best hotels in the county, and An
evidences of this there is not a room
in the house empty| at night and the
tables are full three times a day.

the side and rear walls of brick with
iron roof. + The banking rooms are
large, cool and airy. This bank is do-
ing an excellent business. Ita officers’
are A. E. Patton, president, and W.
H. Sandford, cashier. Another fine
sick building is the Palmer house,
which we will describe farther on. - The
Methodist church has recently been
built and will be dedicated on the 12th
inst. The walls of a fine brick school
building to cost $12,000 are rapidly
rising up. The building is expected to
be ready for use this fall. The Catho-
lies have a fine church. On the eleva-
tion above the business portion of the
town are many private residences
fronting on wide avenues, tastily laid
out and kept in excellent order. Look-
ing over the town from the Methodist
church a beautiful view of the town is
had. | Not a faint of the proverbial
‘mining town’ prevades Patton. The
miners’ houses are well built, painted
in a variety of colors, thus relieving
the monotony usually found in new
towns. The Chest Creek Land and
Imporovement company. laid out the.
pt
town and made generous improve-
ments, donated lots for public build-
ings and charches, built “their own
houses for the use of miners and
placed lots on the market at such low
rates as to attract people to come to
Patton to live and invest their money.
Among the first things done to im-
prove the town was the introduction
of water and now a thorough system
of drainage is being put in. The build-
ings are all wired for electric Light
witich the town expects to enjoy in a
few months.
‘*As the supper hour drew near our
host for the day, Mr. A. E. Patton,

TORE UP THE BACK
Pradiey. Wilson wind. Kinsloe Betwien the
Devil snd the Deep Sea.
* The Philipsburg Ledger of recent
date says that Bradley, Wilson and
Kinsloe, the strike leaders, have been
in a perplexing dilemma all week.
They realized the impossibility of hold-
ing the men out much longer; but
hesitated to declare the strike off on
account of the DuBois miners, who are
working for forty-five cents and who
have been contributing five cents a ton
to the strikers. The Cumberland and
Pocohontas operators and miners have
also been shelling out liberally to keep
up the Clearfield strike, and they
would be mad. oe
The arrangement between Wigton
and Kinsioe et al would also fall
through, and Kinsloe et al doesn’t
want that to happen, and finally if the
mer: broke away from the organiza-
tion and went to work themselves, the
. osganieation would be lost. On the
other hand, the ieader’s name is Dennis
that otders the men back to work at
the old price, ind no one wanted to
take the responsibility.
A martyr could not be found. Brad-
ley, Wilson and Jo-jo Kinslde all de-
clined. McBride was asked, but he
bluntly refused, and finally Vice Presi-
dent McKeénna was secured and he will
_ preside today at the conference of del-
egates from each local union to decide
the matter. :
Kicked by iu Horse,
Sylvester Sheridan, a farmer who
lives about two miles east of Patton,
met with a terrible accident on Mon-
day morning about 7 o'clock which
will probably disfigure his face for life. |
He was threshing oats by horse power
and was driving or rather breaking in
a neighbors horse on the tread power
which propelled the machinery and the
animal not being accustomed to that
kind of work became unmanageable
and kicked Sheirdan in the face, split-
ting his nose and lip open, and cutting |
an ugly gash in his head above the
right eye. He was quickly removed
from the dangerous horse and taken
into his house and Drs. Noonan and

PATTON: MINERS RESUME
After a Strike of Over Six
Long Months.
ALL MINES RUNNING
And Conl is Being Husti d ta Market A
General Resnmption.
The miners are again at work in Pat-
ton after a long and flerce struggle.
On Wednesday, August ist, the first
break was made by the mindérs of Ma-
gee & Lingle’'s colliery. About twenty-
five of their old men retarned to work
and on the following day, Thursday,
all'were at work in that mine. On the
same day the Flannigan Run, Ash.
croft and McCormick collieries resumed
work with about one-half of their old
men and by the last of that week ail
the old men in the above mentioned
collieries were working. The men all
went in at forty eents per gross ton.
At a meeting held in the opera house -
Wednesday night of ast week it was
decided the same as the one held at
Carrolltown the day before, but the
men after leaving the meeting soon
concluded to return to work notwith-
‘standing the vole against it. :
On Monday of this week the Reilly
colliery resumed work the same as the
rest did and now aii the mines, with the
exception of Wigtons, which is near
Carrolltawn, are ronning Tail
It was remarkable how the men re
turned to work. it was dope in an
exceedingly cool and calm manner,
considering the existing desiitution in
this locality. The men in Patton are
to be commended in the manner in
which they have conducted them-
selves during the strike. No act of
violence has been shown af any time.
A more peaceable set of citizens could
not be found in any other mining town.
At the present time there is being
shipped fron: Patton over fifty cars a
day and it will not be long until it
‘arrives at the syandard number, 100
cars per day.
The mines at this place have been
idle all this year except about ten days.
About the first of the year the men
were asked to accept mushy pay
instead of semi-monthly. - They were
willing to accept the same but were
' asked to sign an agreement that they
would not bring suit thereafter against
the operators for violation of an act of
assembly. = This the miners refused to.
do and a strike was declared in the
‘middle of the winter. Both sides re-
mained firm until after Aprii. Work
was resumed only about ten days when
the general strike of the coal miners
of the country was declared and the
Patton men came out again. They
have been idle since until last week.
The operators of this region refused to
pay the compromise scale of 45 cents
per gross ton, and the strike was con-
tinued, notwithstanding seme mines in
other regions were working.
THE TWO STRIKES OVER.
The Cosi Strike in this Distriet and the
Railway Strike it an End,
A dispatch from Philipsburg came to
Patton Sunday which stated that the
long strike was over. Last Saturday
the miners met in convention and
voted to declare the strike off, and
work wis resumed in most of the mines
‘in that section Tuesday morning st the
“+ terms first announced by the operators,’
forty cents per ton. The vote stood
137 in favor of declaring the strike off
to 26 againss.
Thirteen thousand miners were rep-
resented by the committee. Five
miners were appointed to act in con-
junction with national and district of-
ficers and to arrange the details in con-
nection with resumption. Some of the
national officers were severely criticised
for agreeing to district settlements and
partial resumption at the Columbus
conference.
The members of the Aare rican Rad-
way Union who struck on the Wabash
and Lake shore roads and ac the pack-
ing houses in Chicago, li, Saturday
night voted ti deelare the strike off.
At-a meeting of the general strike
comnmittee of the American Railway
Union in Chicago Sunday afternoon,
resolutions were adopied declaring the
strike off in Chicago except on the
Chicago and Eastern Illinois and Santa
Fe roads. The examples set by the
Chicago unions will be followed im-
mediately hy the unions throughout
the western country, and will be de-
clared off all over the country except
on the two roads named.
