YOUNG MAN'S DEATH, John C. >latli<TH Died Saturday Morn lfig-Fuural Took I'IHCH Today. A fw minutes after 0 o'clock on Sat urday morning John Charles Mathers, son of Mrs. J. Mathers, died at the family residence on Centre street, after an illness of more than a month. Death was due to a complication of diseases, princinal among which was liver trouble. Less than a week ago the young man's condition was greatly improved and hopes for his recovery were Indulged in by liis family and friends, but tho im provement proved to be only temporary and death claimed him on Saturday. John Mathers was a young man for whom the community entertained a high regard. He was employed In the store of E. J. Edwards & Co. at Drifton, and liis courteous manners and polite ness made him a favorite with his patrons as well as with all liis acquaint ances. His death, following that of a brother who had almost reached his age a few years ago, comes all the harder for his mother to bear, since he was about entering manhood's sphere. He was born in Drifton on November 2, 1880, and was therefore aged 19 years, 1 month and 7 days. The funeral took place at 9.30 o'clock this morning. The remains were taken to St. Ann's church, followed by a large number of friends and acquaintances, and a requiem mass was read, after which the interment was made in St. Ann's cemetery. LOCAL WAR ITEMS. Herman Keilman, of Company E, Fourteenth infantry, in a letter from Manila to his brother in Tamaqua, states that in his company Is a man named James Kiiey, of Freeland.

Gloom was cast over Newtown Wed nesday afternoon when it became known that Mrs. Thomas Murphy, who only seven months ago became a wife, had passed away. She was taken down with an acute attack of Bright's dis ease, from which she died at 3 o'clock In the afternoon, aged 33 years. Her maiden name was Julia Kennedy and she was a nutive of the lower end of the county. She is survived by her hus band and tho following sisters and brothers: Mrs. Gavin, of Scranton; Mrs. O'Hara.of this city; Mrs. Reilly,of Free land; John Kennedy, of Wilkesbarre, Mrs. Mary Kennedy, of Philadelphia; Mrs. Potter, of Buck Mountain, and Mrs. O'Neil, of Wilkesbarre. Daughter Shingled the Roof. The barn of John Schor, in Union township, t his county, was badly in need of a new roof, but tho owner was too infirm to do the work. One of his sons is in the Philippines with tho American army and the other is in the Klondike, but his only daughter, who has been employed in Philadelphia, arrived home the other day and, seeing tho condition of the barn, at once went to remedy It. She spent a day at the job, and shingled the roof as well as it could have been dune by any man in the district. NEIGHBORING COUNTIES. Variety of I torn, (fathered Ju.t Outnhle of Lut.ro.'.

One Mrs. (Irllbths, whoso husband was found dead in the t.irard mine, claimed s'lo,ooo damages on the ground that the death was duo to suffocation from de fective ventilation. Judge Savldgo de cided that If the traveling ways of a mine are not properly constructed the company Is not responsible, as the state has a mine Inspector who is required to see that the law is complied with. | Former Judge Walsingham G. Ward i died Saturday morning at his home in | Scranton. fie was 80 years of age and was the oldest member of the bar of Lackawanna and Luzerne counties. Until about ten years ago, when the infirmities of age began to lay heavily upon him, he was the most celebrated lawyer in this part of the state. Mr. Ward was born In Now Jersey, October 7, 1819, and was admitted to the bar of Luzerne county In 1850. Undertaker W. C. Prico, of Scranton. had arranged his embalming board and had pulled the sheet which covered the form of John O. Davis, when the sup posed corpse arose, spoke to the under taker, and walked around tho room. Sorrowing friends who sat beside tho bed were panic stricken and rushed from tho room. Tho man had been In a trance-like slumber. Mine Inspector John Magulre, of Pottsville, of the Klghth anthracite dis trict, has announced the following casualties among tho thirty-sovon col lieries In his charge, which occurred from December 1.

Tho borough council at McAdoo, which Is about introducing tho electric light into that borough, adopted a schedule of rates for incandescent lights as follows: Throe lights, $1 per month: four lights, $1.15; five lights $1.35, and six or inorc lights to be put in at a metre rate of one-half cent per [ lamp per hour. As a tribute to the memory of her soldiery, Lackawanna county Is about to erect a sso,out) granite monument. The height of the shaft is to he 100 feet, with a 30 hy 40 foot base, Tho monu ment will bo surmounted by a figure thirteen feet iu height, emblematic of "Peace." Caroline liallace, of McAdoo, who was burned by the explosion of a kerosene lamp throe weeks ago, died at the Miners' hospital on Thursday from the effects of her injuries. She is survived by a husband and three children. Under the prison act passed by the last legislature the prisoners at present confined iu tho Columbia county jail are to bo put to work breaking and hauling stones for the county. Verdict of Coroner's Jury. The jury empanelled by Deputy Cor oner Bowman to inquire Into the cause of and fix the responsibility for the grade crossing accident at Cranberry on November 29, met on Friday evening and, after two hours' deliberation, agreed upon the following verdict: "Emma Ooedecke and others came to their death on November 29 at the Cranberry crossing of tho Lehigh Val ley Railroad Company by being hit by a Pennsylvania Railroad train, known as train No. 491. "And we, tho jury, do further say that, from the circumstances of the case and the evidence offered, we do censure the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company for not inafutaing proper safeguards at this crossing. "And we, the jury, do further say that we censure the driver of the con veyance for not taking special precau tions for the safety of his passengers in approaching this crossing. "And wn, tho Jury, do further say that there was such strong suspicion of unlawful violenco at the hands of per sons unknown to the jury as to mako this inquest necessary. 1 "Joseph Koehler, William E. Mumaw, Arthur.!. Evans, I. R. Hutchins, C. F. Pfeil, Albert Zboray." The Pennsylvania Railroad was not censured at all, so it Is presumed that the accidont was not the result of anv ncgllgonce on the part of the crew of the train which killed the occupants of the coach. On Saturday, at Carbonada, Washing ton, seventy-two miners wero Imprison ed by a tremendous explosion of gas, and it is believed that a majority of the men have been killed, if not by the ex plosion, then by the black damp which followed. As there are a number of Le high region miners in that section, de finite news of tho list of victims Is awaited. | PRIESTS ADVISE MINERS. j ASKED TO GO SLOWLY WITH IN TENDED SYMPATHY STRIKE. I Clergy in'ri in the Sliatiiokin Region Warn Their I'arifthionerH Agaiiat .Stop ping Work to Help Nanticoke Men. Strikers at Latter Place Still Out. A crusade was started In the Catholic churches in the Shamokiu region on Friday by priests against the big threatened strike. More than 2,000 United Mine Workers attended the churches on that day, which was a holy day and was generally observed in that region. The principal address was de livered by Kev. Joseph Koch, vicar general of the Harrisburg diocese, and pastor of St. Edwards church, Sha mokin. He said: "In the thirty-four years I have been among you, I have had considerable ex perience in strikes, and you know that in every one the workingtnan has been the loser, and the community the suffer er. My advice to you today is, don't be led into a sympathy strike. This ad vice comes from a friend, for I havo always been willing to stand by you and work for your interests so long as they have been for peace and for right and just purposes. I speak to you today for your own good, and appeal to you to keep out of a strike. ' In all my experiences I never heard of pumpmen being called out in a strike as at Nanticoke. It is all important that they be permitted to keep at work, because if the company's property is des troyed, the greatest loss falls on the men, for work is not there for them if they want to go back. Because a leader of the United Mine Workers made this blunder, he wants you to stand by him to satisfy his ambition and pride. He wants to make five thousand families destitute and bring ruin to the com munity. "If a strike is ordered refuse to obey and if necessary you had better leave the order that would bring this ruin on your head. The only way to adjust a grievance is by arbitration and going I about it in a cool, deliberate manner. I am and always havo been a friend of the workingtnan so long as they fight for just principles and peace, and if in the future you have grievances and desire ray services to help adjust them come to me and, as always, you will find me reiyly to work and intercede for your best benefits." The priest's address caused a big sen sation with the men and public and, it is thought, will avert the strike in that region. President John Fahy, of the United Mine Workers, of the Schuylkill district, gave notice that the meeting of oflicials of the sub-districts scheduled for Friday night had been postponed until further notice. The move was occasioned by a desire on the part of the mine workers to await the result of the business men's attempt to settle the strike at Nanti coke before going out hore. The proposition of Nanticoke mer chants that the strikers induce the present pumpmen and firemen to leave their work and pay thorn until other positions can bo secured has been re jected by the men and the struggle con tinues without prospects of settlement, l'ropoxed New Coal lload. As long as the promoters of the pro posed new anthracato coal road are manifestly concentrating their efforts in the direction of constructing the line, the matter will be one of some prom inence, especially among people con nected with the anthracite coal in dustry, including the roads that carry the coal as well as the trade end of the business. There is a suspicion among some of the leading officials of the coal roads that the new line may not bo construct ed at all. In any event it is about certain that it could not be put into operation before at least two years. It is maintained that if the plans are ex ecuted this new road will require more money than it would take to secure a good interest in some of the other roads. It is a well-known fact that the strong interests at the back of this enterprise has never appeared as a dis turbing factor in the trade and it is reasonably certain that they will con tinue to do business on the same profit able basis in the future as they havo been disposed to do in the past. The new road, if built, will be operat ed with a view to making money, the same as all other roads, and there is not the slightest probability that those in control would sanction any procedure which would result in decreasing their own profits. In trade and financial circles it appears to be a foregono con clusion that the new line, in case it is built, will not causo any disturbance in the matter of freight rates or ovon lower the price of coal at tidewater. 51.50 a year is all the TIUBUNK costs.
