Unofficial Announcement of Employers Refusing to Meet in Joint Conference Rouses the Workers. The grievances of the organized miners of the anthracite region, and the request of the men to the operators to meet in joint conference for the pur pose of discussing these grievances, have been been replied to unofficially by a Wyoming region coal magnate. This reply denies the truth of the grievances and refuses the invitation to meet the From information which the Tribuno has received there is a strong probability that radicul steps will be taken by the miners if the stand assumed by the em ployer mentioned above is followed by therother operators and interested cor- porations. Until after the date chosen for the conference between miners aud opera tors, which is Monday next, nothing definite will bo decided upon by the United Mine Workers. It is a fact, however, that the miners, who believe their griovatices are worthy of consideration, are in no mood to bo trilled with, and will not quietly submit to au fgnoring of their claims. Outside of this immediate vicinity the Mine Workers are organized solidly from Forest City to Shamokin. Even in this region their strength is far greater than suspected, and a call to cease work, un til the operators agree to arbitrate or discuss the issues, will tie up the entire anthracite field as it never was before. The grievances of the miners have been commented upon at length by the press of tlio region and state, and the unanimous opinion of all fair-minded people is that the operators will do wrong in refusing the very fair and honorable invitation to meet and dis cuss them with the representatives of the ineu. Present indications are, the Tribuno is sorry to announce, not favorable for a peaceful solution of the trouble. How ever, it all rests with the operators. Now Brewing Beer. At lust the Stroudsburg brewery is an accomplished fact. Beer is being made there under government license, and this in face of probably the most strenu ous and bitter opposition over experi enced by an industrial enterprise. This is the brewery that the Rev. E. E. Dixon, a Methodist pastor of ytrouds burg, asked the Almighty to shutter with lightning, and which was hit by a bolt and damaged at the first thunder storm of the season. The church mom bors hold many meetings to protest and petition against its erection and the W. C. T. U. prayed agair*t it. In spite of all the company has commenced brew ing witli a very large amount of orders on hand. For Ihe Legislature. Timothy Hayes, of Dickson City, a prominent lalior leader and member of United Mine Workers, was nominated on Friday by the Democrats of the First Lackawanna district for the legislature. He is a popular man and will likely win. Mr. Hayes is known to many people bote, having resided in Drifton and Freeland several years. Ho was a prominent liguro in local labor circles during the slriko of 1887-88. Ho has been a hard worker for the causu of the miner all his life and his election to the legislature would but partly recompense him for the personal sacrifices he has made on behalf of the mine workers. Peculiar Showers. In addition to giving tiie people of this vicinity a taste of real hot weather, August has furnished something else to talk about. The rainstorms of the month have attracted more or less at tention, due to the peculiar manner nature has selected to distribute its showers. During the early part of last week a trolley car arrived here "soaking wet," having passed through a terrific U ISCLI.LANKUI .S AD VEKTI.BKM KNTS.

From whom the whole body being compacted and litly joined to gether, by what every joint supplieth, according to the operation in the meas ure of every part maketh Increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in charity."
