Productive of Kesults, ‘The strike of the soft coal miners, which has paralyized the business in- terests of this section for the past three months and a half, is likely to end and ithe men who have been idle for that length of time will probably go to work Monday. | Committees representing the opera- tors and the United Mine Workers of this district held meetings last eyening at Harrisburg preliminary to a confer- ence to-day in the hope of reaching an agreement which will end the strike of 35,000 miners. The expectation is that a settlement of the difficulties which have kept the union men out of the mines since April will be reached. The miners are represented by a committee of 12, of which W. B. Wil- Charles Huber, an aged resident of Elder township, and one of the pio- neers of Northern Cambria county, died Wednesday evening at 9 o’clock of diseases incident to old age.

National Presi- dent John Mitchell was expected about midnight to confer with the miners’ committee and to advise them. In all probability he will enter the conference with the operators to-day.

Wilson, secretary- treasurer of the national organization, and Patvick Gilday, president of this district. The operators were represented by James Kerr and Rembrandt Peale, in behalf of the inerests of Peale, Pea- cock & Kerr; Lucius W.

Disposes of its Holdings, “The entire mining property of the Cresson and Clearfield Coal and Coke | company, comprising 7,200 acres of walnable coal lands in Blair and Cam- pria counties, was purchased Friday by J. Blair Kennerly, of Philadelphia. By the sale of this large coal tract the Widener-Dolan-Cochran syndicate re- tires from active operation. There are three mines in operation on the property and they have a total production of 2,500 tons daily. Because of the strike prevailing among the miners of the Central Pennsylvania bituminous district, the mines were idle until a few week ago, when an amica- ble adjustment was made with the rep- resentatives of the miners and the striking men returned to work. The sale of the property was made by Senator J. Henry Cochran, presi- dent of the Cresson and Clearfield company. Mr. Kennerly took advan- tage of the right of the charter, which was granted in Pennsylvania, and re- organized the company with $1,000,000 capital. The officers chosen are: Presi- dent, J. Blair Kennerly; secretary and treasurer, James P. Platt; directors, J. Henry Kennerly, J. P. Platt, J. Blair Kennerly and Arthur Coppin- ger. All the officers and directors are in the employ of the purchaser, how- lowing sons and daughters: Mrs. Jos. | Overberger, of Susquehanna township; Mrs. Benjamin Hupfer, Mrs. Charles Baker, Mrs. Joseph McMullen, Mrs. | McNulty, Augustine Huber of Elder | Michael and Miss Francis Huber, township, and Mrs. J. B. Overberger, {of Patton. Mr. Huber’s wife died about 15 years ago. Funeral services were held in St. Bernard’s church at morning at 9:30 o’clock conducted by Rev. Father Germane. The interment Fuliorn, Ib... was in the Catholic cemetery. FENCE LINE LAW. Should Remember. It is not generally known that during | the session of the legislature of 1905 a law was passed whereby one party to a line fence could not compel the other party to build his share of the fence as the case may be. Where a party interested in a line fence has his own fence in good repair | snd his neighbor refuses to build or re- pair his share of fence, he goes to the auditors and makes complaint to them. The auditors are required to examine the fence and the need of it. If they find the complaint well-founded, they report the same to a justice of the peace who is required to give the faii- | fence within forty days. If he does not do it the other party may build it and collect the cost of it, | in good repair, or that no fence is re- i quired, the auditors are to receive $2 | each to be paid | they find at fault. The whole procedure is | farmers and lot owners will do well to cut this out and remember it. TRANSACTIONS IN REALTY, Properties In This End of the County That Changed Hands Recently.
