The flames were discovered about half past eight o'clock in the boiler | house in the rear of the North Star laundry. The blaze is supposed to have had its origin in the ash pit. A can of gasoline was ignited and this spread until a pretty respectable fire * was in progress. An alarm was quickly TO THE PUBLIC, Patton, Pa., Oct. 4, 1905. You are respectfully requested to at- !

The Miners at Morris Run are at Work at the Old Figure. The difficulties between the mine | workers employed at Morris Run and the operators have been settled and the men have resumed The work- men at that place have been on strike for proctically a year and a half. There was a settlement made in June and the men returned to work, but they went out again three days afterwards. The trouble was over the wage scale. At the time the men first discontinued work. | work the company wanted them to ac- cept a reduction of 14 per cent. Last June an agreement was reached by which the workmen were to receive a Work was resumed, the men that they could not continue the price and that the first imme- they were compelled to pay the reduction they made in The men It is understood that the employes resume on the ten per cent reduction basis that was agreed upon in June, that all will be given back their old places and that the houses shall be re- stored to those who were evicted. There are about seven hundred em- ployes of the Morris Run mines. Patton Won the Game. An interesting game of base ball between nines composed of all home players from St. Boniface and Patton was played at Athletic Park Saturday afternoon. The locals won a score of 4 to 1. Cavenaug! in the box for Patton and put up an elegant game, being credited with thirteen strike outs. The work of Prof. B. I. Myers at first base and Rev. M. E.
