At fourteen years of age she married

nently in the Parisian court during her

came to New York with her father,
who was associated with Cornelius
Vanderbilt in many enterprises. A

schatten, a representative of a promi
nent Holland family, and they were
married.
Of her fourteen children Ave survive.
They live in Now York, Washington
and Stroudsburg.
Saved by Nimbleness.
That John Wasser, a saloonkeeper of
Shenandoah, is not dead, is due only to
his nimblonoss of foot. As it is, he has
a deep gash on the side of the head in
flicted by an ax in the hands, so it is
alleged, of Michael Czenkus.
Wasser had Adam Szylai arrested for
assault and battery and while Chief of
Polieo Tosh was taking him away
Michael Czenkus, William Anis and his
son, William, Jr., arrived. The former
carried an ax and, it is charged, made a
vicious lunge at Wasser.
Czenkus was locked up on a charge of
attempted murder. ,
Steady Work for Miners.
Notices were posted yesterday at the
Pennsylvania Coal Company works, in
the Wyoming region, for ten hours'
work a day and six days a week. This
Is the first time full time has been
ordered, the men having done no better
than seven or eight hours a day and
three or four days a week.
It is taken as an indication that the
company is desirous of getting as much
coal as possible in its storage yards
before the strike, which is threatening
the entire region, breaks.
Lawsuit Over Hair Gibe.
"You are 50 years old and you dye
your hair." This is the alleged remark
which Miss Alice Fiolds must answer
for in court. She was arrested yester
day at Wilkesbarro on the charge of
slander, the complaint being made by
Miss Etta Potter. Miss Potter declares
emphatically that sho Is not 50, and the
color of her hair is natural, tfhe having
Invoked the assistance of the law to
make Miss Fields eat her alleged words.
Powder May Be Reduced.
The Scranton Times says that mine
foremen throughout tlio Lackawanna
region are "sounding" the men on the
question of strikes. They are also In
quiring how far a reduction in the price
of powder to 81.50 a keg would go in
settling the grievances of the workers.
This is taken as an indication that tho
operators may concede some of the
claims made by tho men and grant tho
satno, in order to avoid a strike.
Last Day for Assessment.
Wednesday, September 5, is the last
