Employers—Convention of District No.
Ynited Mine Workers Condemns the New |
#Ktate Constabulary Law.
At this writing the mining situation |
remains in statu quo and no agrement
fas been reached. The miners at
Llearfield representing District No. 2
of the United Mine Workers have pre-
@ented their scale, which the operators
fave refused to adopt.
It is not thought, however, that the
disagreement is serious and both sides
are likely to make concessions, so that
a scale agreeable to both will be signed
fy a majority of the operators before
the joint confereace adjourns. Hon.
James Kerr, president of the Beech
£reek Coal & Coke Co., is chairman of
&he operators’ committee, while David
frvine, of Hastings, the president of
Snb-District No. 1, is chairman of the
sniners’ scale committee, who reported
ghe following:

THE REAPER DEATH.
Who Crossed to the
Other
Loved Ones Have
Shore,
Katherine, aged seven months, the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Wil-
kins, died Thursday morning at 10
o'clock of brain fever, after an illness |
of but two days. The funeral will be
held at the residence Saturday after-
ternoon at two o’clock, conducted by
the Rev. M. E. Swartz, the pastor of |
the Methodist church. The interment |
| will be in Fairview cemetery.
| Katherine, the infant daughter o
of Mr. and Mrs. H 8. Buck, died |
Wednesday morning about 11 o’clock |
of inflammation of the bowels, after |
an illness of seven weeks. The little |
one was 11 months old. The funeral |
was held in St. Mary’s R. C. church
this afternoon at two o’clock, con-
ducted by Rev. Edwin Pierron. The |
interment was in the Carrolltown
cemetery.
Valentine S. Barker, one of the best |
known citizens in the north of the
county, died suddenly Sunday at his
home in Ebensburg, aged 63 years.
Paralysis of the heart is ascribed as |
the cause. The deceased was a native |
of Maine, but had lived in
county for many years. He was a
merchant and prominent in the Masons |
and other secret organizations and
active in church work. His brother,
Ex-Judge A. V. Barker, is on a Florida
ocean trip and cannot be reached to be
apprised of the death. He is survived
by his wife, a number of children and
three brothers—Florentine H., Con-
stantine H. and A. V. The funeral
was held Wednesday afternoon.
Mrs. Anna Kearns Tully, relict of
the late Edward Tully, who died about
four months ago, passed away at her
home on Mellon street last Friday
morning at 8:30 o’clock. She had
been in ill health for two years past
and was taken seriously ill about a
week before her death.
Mrs. Tully was 62 years of and
was born at Ballymore, County Sligo,
Ireland. Her spent
age
in
England and it a Stockport in
that country where she married Mr,
Tally. They came to America in 1868,
locating at Harrisbnrg and subse-
quently lived at Morris Run and Corn-
ing, N. Y. She was a resident of Pat-
ton for the past six years. She is sur-

A BREACH OF PROMISE CASE.
| Prominent Citizen Charged With Trifling
| With a Widow's Affections,
|
| For some time, it is alleged, one of |
| our prominent citizens has paid more |
jor less attention to a young and beau- |
tiful widow of this town forgetting or
at least not heeding the advice of the
| immortal Mr. Weller to his son Samuel |
|
| to “beware of the vidders.”
He now claims that he was not seri-
| ous in hig intentions and that he was |
not attached to her, but however that
f | may have been the widow became at-
tached to him, and as he seems to have
{ lost interest in the matter she has at-
| tached his property, which is a form of
| attachment that he does not enjoy.
| The result is that he finds himself
| the defendant in a first class breach of
| promise case and his questionable at-
| titude towards the widow will be given
an airing in the near future.
| The parties in the case are so promi-
| nent that it is feared no court room will
| hold the vast crowd desirous of attend-
| ing the trial,so it will be held in United
| Mine Workers Hall, on Tuesday even-
|ing, April 17, under the auspices of the
| Young Men’s Christian Association,
for whose benefit the proceeds will
| be devoted.
In other words it will mock
court trial, and it promises to be one of
the most enjoyable affairs of many
years, as a large number of ourlead-
ing people will participate in the pro-
be a
ceedings.
The committee having the trial in
charge have engaged Col A.V. New-
ton, the well-known lawyer-lecturer
of Wocester, Mass., to attend to the
tertainment.
Col. Newton has had
success in conducting similar entertain-
ments and without doubt the breach of
promise trial will be here, as elsewhere,
an event long to be remembered with
pleasure.
