Fifteen hundred section men and gravel train employes of tho Lehigh Valley Railroad laid down their tools at 9 o'clock Monday morning, and all labor in those departments between Mauch Chunk and Buffalo came to a standstill. The men quit without any demonstra tion and quietly left their accustomed places of toll to await tho result of a conference between their committee and General Superintendent Kollin 11. Wii bur. They struck for an increase in wages of 3 cents per hour. The men have been getting 51. 20 for a ten-hour day. Two weeks ago some of tho men wont over the line for the purpose of "sounding" their fellows in regards to making a demand for an in crease to 01.50 per day. Tho men were cordially received everywhere, the general conclusion being reached thai a striko be ordered, if necessary, to secure the advanco in wages. In accordance with the general understanding the strike was set for 9 o'clock Monday morning, and promptly at that hour every man along the line quit work. The Lehigh coal region division was not affected by tho strike, as it is mostly foreign-speaking work men who are employed hero. Up to the present there Is no change in tho situation. I). .8. & S. Ilrakeioan Killed. James Gibbous obtained work as a brakeman on the I). 8. & 8. Railroad less than two weeks ago, coming here from Carbondale. Yesterday his dead body was takoti back to his family. At Eckley on Tuesday he was thrown from a coal train by the loosening of an un bolted brako-wheel and a leg ant) an arm wero cut off. A few hours later he expired in the Miners' hospital. The dccoasod hoarded with August Burkhardt and during his short stay in Freeland was found to be a genial and pleasant companion. Ho is survived by a wife and family who were preparing to remove to Freeland. Gibbons was a member of the Railroaders' Brotherhood and tho members attended him before and after his death. Lutz a Murly I'rlHoner. John Lutz, of West IMttston, con victed of murdering his wife, is one of the surliest men ever confined in jail, say the keepers. He will speak to no one and does nothing but eat, sleep and sit in his cell with a constant scowl Upon his face, wearing a slouch hat down over his eyos nearly all the time. He refuses to be interviewed and ho is kept in a padded coll for fear that lie will make an attempt to take his life. Ho takes his food without a word and does not even converse with tho keepers. Tho argument for a new trial in his case will be heard at the present term of argu ment court. The main ground of the application is Juror Koons's holding out and the statements made. Eighteen Month*' Suffering. Benjamin Davis, aged 67 years, was buried yesterday at Upper Lehigh cem etery, the remains arriving there from Wilkesbarre. Eighteen months ago the deceased had his back broken in Alden mine by a fall of coal. He was taken to Mercy hospital, where he lingered until Monday, when death relieved him. He was a former resident of Upper Le high, and Is survived by tho following brothers and sister: David G., Thomas T. and John I). Davis and Mrs. David Hughes. Prldon Driven Woman Insane. Mrs. 11.

It is said the wo man was innocent of any crime and when the real facts wero brought before the court she was at onco released. She returned to her home in Hazleton and when she arrived there it was found she was out of her mind. The thought of being in prison so prayed on her mind that she became iusano. Wunderer Declared Dead. S. I. Davenport, of Plymouth, has boon declared legally dead by the court. He disappeared from his home in Ply mouth in 1891. Search was made for him and after several months ho was traced to Seattle. There all trace of him was lost and despite the efforts of his relatives to find him he has not been discovered. He left a daughter and an estate of 015,000 and he was declared legally dead so that tho daughter can get the estate. Death From Cutting a Corn. I)r. Hugh N. Coxc, of Schuylkill llaycn, a prominent druggist, died at his homo in tho sixty-eighth year of his ago, from gangrene, the rosult of painting a corn, which he had lirst pared, with iodine. Dr. Coxe was prominent in lodge circles, and was at one time president of the Pennsylvania State Pharmaceutical Association. Ho was a Republican, and was long Inter estod in Schuylkill county politics.

Lower, a prominent Adams county Republican politician, formerly a presidential elector and now a mem ber of the Republican state committee, has afiirmcd his position as being in favor of William Jennings Bryan. fie said: "I announced myself some time ago as intending to vote for Mr. Bryan, and I stick to what 1 then said." Mr. Lower bases his change of opinion largely on the present commercial situation, and cites innumerable cases to sustain his views, which are antagonistic to trusts. Mr. Lower has been for years one of the most prominent Republicans in his sec tion, and has been formerly a firm sup porter of Mclvinley. for whom he voted when a national delegate. The fight between the Garman and Lenahan factions of the Democrats of the Third legislative district was won on Monday by the Garman forces, who renominated George W. Gruvcr, for thv legislature. The victory was a decisive one, the Lenahan candidate, W. A. Loughrey, of Plymouth, getting only nineteen votes to thirty-two for Gruver. Rev. Edgar M. Levy, of Philadelphia, acted as chaplain of the Republican national convention that nominated General John C. Fremont for president in 1850. He is still living and has been invited to occupy the saino position at the convention that will nominate Wil liam McKinley for a second term. Nineteen Democratic members of tbo Schuylkill county bar are in the field as candidates for the vacant judgeship. The Republican aspirants for the same place are about half as numerous.

Judge Craig, of Carbon county, has decided that 11. I). Snyder .and C. J. Mont/., two of the trustees of tho Re formed congregation of Parryville, aro individually responsible to the Nathan Snyder estate, of Weissport, for a debt of nearly #BOO that was contracted by them as trustees for the congregation but was never paid. The congregation was never chartered, and the decision is based on an act of the legislature which makes tho individual members of every unincorporated society, congrega tion or association, responsible for any or all of tho debts of that organization. A largo number of the members aud friends of tho congregation have come to the trustee's rolief and have con tributed a large portion of tho indebted ness. Constables Surprise the Court. The constables of the county made their returns to the court on Monday and to tho surprise of many sevoral violations of tho law and a number of bad roads were reported. The constables who reported bad roads were: Albert son, of Butler township; Ide, of Lehman township; Bonham, of IIunlock; Knlp, of Wyoming; Kitchen, of Slocum; Mill vey, of Minor's Mills; Kocher, of West Hazleton; Getting, of Sugarloaf, and Hillor, of West Hazleton. Another Treat lu Store. The appreciation shown for the two splendid (lower pictures given froo to readers of the Philadelphia Sunday Press this year has led the publishers to provide a third great picture which will bo given free with every copy of next Sunday's Press (June 3). This picture, which is quite as attractive as the famous "Yard of Roses" and "Easter Lillles" pictures, is callod "A Basket of Blossoms." It is by tho famous Paul De Longpre, and Is one of his best works. It is 20 by 28 inches in size and is also noteworthy as being the first example of a new method of color print lug, which is quite as wonderful as the picture Itself. The publishers guaran tee that every picture will be perfect. There is certain to be a great demand for next Sunday's Press, hence It will be well for all who want this picture to order their copy In advance. BUILDINGS IN DANGER. Lackawanna Courthouse nntl Other Struc tures May (Jo Down. Owing to the close proximity of the abandoned mine workings of the Lacka wanna Iron and Coal Company in the central part of Scranton and the crush ing of props and splintering of pillars by tho erection of heavy buildings, the commissioners of Lackawanna county have found it necessary to build up the coal space in the mines with solid masonery under the site of tho new #50.000 soldiers' monument on the court houso plot and are asking for bids for tho work. Tho Clark vein under the courthouse square Is from eight to twelve feet thick. The coal from it was mined out. The coal in all of the veins beneath the Clark vein—the Clark Is nearest the surface— Is reserved, and when once this Is made secure all danger will be removed. The commissioners are also consider ing the advisability of erecting pillars under the courthouse, also, as the sur face Is considered very unsafe. All of the central part of tho city is under mined save a few small reservations. The precautions taken by the commis sioners now Is alarming tho owners of the heavy buildings, and tho building up of the abandoned mines is liable to be come general, as the slightest cave-in would destroy an Immense amount of property. Soft Coal Going to Europe. The Italian government has purchas ed 1,000,000 tons of bituminous coal from United States Senators Elkins and Davis, of Wost Virginia, both of whom have extensive mining Interests in their states. Tho coal Is sent by rail from West Virginia to Newport News, where it is loaded on chartered vessels, which are carrying it to Italian ports. As showing the scarcity of coal on the other side it is significant that the Italian agent while in this country tried to arrange for the purchase of Ameri can coal lands with the proposition that his government send men here to mine tho coal. The plan wont so far that a tract of coal land was picked out and a price sot upon it, but suvoral obstacles arose, chief among them tho contract labor law. The fact the Italian government wanted to buy coal lands is considered as proof that tho export of American coal is likely to continue. Italy former received her principal coal supply from England, France and Belgium. In all those countries the supply is behind the demand, owing to the fact that no new ceal territory is in sight, and the old is being rapidly worked out. Why So Many Young Men Full. "One trouble with many young rnon who start out in business is they try to do too many things at once," says Ilotty Green, "The Richest Woman in Ameri ca," in the June Ladies' Home Journal. "Tho result is that, they don't know as much as they ought to about any one ; thing, and they naturally fall. The trouble with young men who work on salaries is that they're always afraid of doing more than they're paid for. j They don't enter into their work with ! the right spirit. To get on and be ap- ! predated a young man must do more than lie's paid to do. When he does something that his employer has not thought of ho shows that he is valuable. Men are always willing to pay good salaries to people who will think of things for them. The man who only carries out tho thoughts aud ideas of another is nothing more than a more tool. Men who can bo relied upon are always in demand. Tho scarcest thing in the world today is a thoroughly re liable man. Mrs. Annie Watkins, of Plymouth, claims that Mrs. Mary A. Barnes, a Wilkesbarre widow, alienated her hus band's affections, and has commenced suit against her for #20,000. William Watkins, the husband, is a leader of tho Quay forces in Plymouth and vicinity. A Girl's Experience.^ My daughter's nerves were terribly out of order.

I®l PAWNEE BILE'S SHOW WORLD'S GREATEST WILD WEST TO BE HERE TOMORROW. Wonderful and Realistic Exhibition of Frontier Life-Performance Given IM Most Exciting and Bent of 11 Kind on the Road— Sketch of the Great Show. From the Kenton, Ohio, Democrat. Pawnee Bill's Wild West show ar rived in town Wednesday morning, aud those who saw tho grand street pageant in tho forenoon and witnessed tho marvelous afternoon performance wero quite willing to accept the claim tiiat the enterprise is the best wild west show in tho country. Tho parade was witnessed by a large crowd of people who had collected on tho streets somo time before the scheduled time and wore eagerly await ing its coming. Nor were they disap pointed, for everything that they ad vertised was present in the parade. Pawnee Bill's show is surely a won derful exhibition and shows in the most exciting manner the dangerous life of our early ancestors in the far West. All the frontier scenes are very realisti cally shown to the great amusement of the spectators. The gorgeous brillian cy of the circus, fascinating us with its striking colors, but cannot stir up the same interest as the realistic presenta tion of the early life on tho frontier. The anticipation of the spectators were great nor wore they disappoint ed, for the performance was all that It was represented to be. Tho enthusiasm of the people over the riding, shooting, banging, and iirlng of the hut; the excit ing chase between cowboys and the Indians, who captured an emigrant train, found enthusiastic expressions. Tho bill is one of the best that has ever been aeon here, and aside from the usual feats of horsemanship and other distinctively "Wild West'' numbers, probably the troup of acrobats aroused the most enthusiasm in the audience. They were far beyond tho average and merited groat applause. Their tumbling was of the ••rapid-lire" order. Then there was tho prairie schooner with its customary legend, "Pike's Peak or Host." The donkeys, which the small boys caressed so affectionately during the street parade, trotted around contented behind tho "schooner," and during tho excitement of tho attack by tho Indians and the rescue hy the cow boys calmly munched hay as though thero was nothing else in life to do. After this cowboys and Indians raced and a few moments later fought des perately over the ruins of a settler's home. An example of rough border justice was afforded when a horse thiol' was captured and later made to orna ment a convenient telegraph pole after having been dragged around tho arena at the end of a lariat. Cavalrymen, representing various nations, gave ex hibitions of fancy riding. Naturally Pawnee Pill was a personage of inter est, and gave a clever exhibition that attracted attention. A reporter called on Pawnee Hill and his press agent, at tho show grounds in the morning, and found them both to be very genial and courteous. Major Lillio himself, who Is unlike most men of re pute in the fact that he tries to be as ordinary as possible, notwithstanding that he is a hero of tho west and a scholar, one finds him to be very modest and most agreoablo. Naturally he fools proud of his exhibition and why shouldn't he? It is indeed a wonderful exhibition and worthy of the greatest praise. Something that is out of the ordinary on the show grounds is the scarcity of swindlers, frauds and tho like. Mr. Lily does not permit those on tho show grounds and consequently is not follow ed by them. This is quite unusual, but is always highly appreciated by tho public, and we are suro tho manage ment will be givon the greatest credit for taking such precaution. Pawnee Hill will exhibit his show at the Hirvanton grounds, Freeland, to morrow afternoon and evoning. Ad mission, 25 cents. DePIERRO - BROS -CAFE.- Corner of Centre and Front Streets, Freeland, Pa.
