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.

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.

or less of it, will lind the wonderful
reproduction of this the greatest of all
heavy-weight battles of unusual inter
est. It will be presented tonight at the
opera house. This will positively be
the only chance to witness these won
derful pictures in this vicinity. This is
the lirst time that a complete and
absolutely perfect set of moving pictures
has been taken of any fight. The
lights were perfect. The machines
worked without a break and the result
is simply bewildering. You could not
have gone to Now York and witnessed
tho original at a cost of loss than SSO.
You can see this great production
brought right to your own doors for a
small sum. There are twenty-five full
and complete rounds, making an enter
tainment lasting over two hours. Wit
ness it and then judge for yourself
whether Referee Slier was right in his
decision.

is here. The crisp, cold air is
likely enough to make you feel
its presence. We are just as
well prepared to "overcoat"
you as well as we have always
been to "suit" you. Our high
grade Beavers, Kerseys, Chin
chillas, etc., are worth double
the money would purchase
elsewhere. And when you
buy an overcoat from us you
do so with confidence. We
represent what we sell as it
really is, and if you are not
pleased with your purchase,
you can have your money
back.
Upholding these principles we gain
your confidence and if you buy
from us once we have no doubt
of your returning.
