Sad Death of an Old and Experienced Miner in No. 4 Colliery, Upper Lehigh, on Wednesday. At 5 o'clock yesterday morning the force of men engaged in the work of clearing away the wreck caused by the cave-in at No. 4 colliery, Upper Lehigh, succeeded in reaching the remains of the victim, David it. Davis. Two hours later the body was brought to the sur face and taken to his late home in that town. Immediately after the cave-In on Wednesday the work of rescue began and was continued without intermission until the remains were found. At first it was hoped that the unfortunate miner might be alive, behind the fall, but according as they proceeded it became plain to the workers that the extent and character of the fall left no room' for hope that Mr. Davis was alive. Rapid progress was made, notwith standing the awful dangers which the rescuers had to undergo. Finally, at the hour stated, the body was found under a mass of coal. The remains were not badly crushed, but a gash in the head showed that death was un doubtedly instantaneous. Mr. Davis, with two laborers, was engaged in robbing pillars in No. 4 mine. The work had proceeded so far that it became very dangerous. Sud denly, with but the faintest sign of warning, a largo area of the roof fell on Wednesday, extending to the surface of the ground, and crushing Mr. Davis before ho had time to move from his position, and coming within an aco of catching his two assistants. Mr. Davis was aged 58 years and 2 months, lie was born in Wales, but came to Aftierica at an early age, set tling in Schuylkill county. Later he moved to Westmoreland county. In 1877 he took up his residence in Upper Lehigh. lie is survived by his wife and three sons and threo daughters, as fol lows: William H., Catasauqua; David .1., Freeland, and Evan, Upper Lehigh, and Mrs. Walter Heckler and Misses Harbara and Louisa, Upper Lehigh.

OPERATORS WONT ATTEND Upper End Employers Will Not Be Present. John Jermyn Says That the Invitation to Confer With the Miners Next Monday Is Refused. A Scranton Times reporter yesterday had an interview with John Jermyn with reference to tho invitations sent by the Unitod Mine Workers to the an thracite coal operators to meet the former in-conference next Monday. Mr. Jermyn stated that ho had re ceived an invitation, but stated em phatically that he would not attend tho conference. He also expressed an opin ion that none of tho operators would bo present on Monday. When Informed that a strike would probably be the result of the failure of the operators to attend the conference ho said tho operators had no fear of that. "If a strike Is called," ho said, "It will be of short duration." Mr. Dilcher, a member of the execu tive hoard of the United Mine Workers of America, and one of the strongest workers in the organization, was seen. Ho would not say that a strike would bo called should tho operators ignore the invitations to attend the conference, but ho did say that if any trouble should occur after Monday, tho operators would be to blame. Continuing ho said: "Tho miners are not desirous of striking, but if it is forc ed upon them they will go out." Situation Is Serious. There is much suspense in business circlos as to what action the coal opera tors will tako in regard to tho invitation extended them by tho United Mine Workers to meet them In Hazleton on Monday. j Within the last few days pressure has been brought to bear on some of tho companies in tho Wyoming region to moot the men half way.

The anthracite coal companies are quietly stocking up all the coal they can, so that In event of any trouble between the minors and the officials they will be in a position to bold out. It was stated yesterday by a prominent coal official that there will be no meet ing between the officials of the coal companies and representatives of tho Minors' Union. If the men have any complaints they are to bo made in per son, and if the trade organization takes the matter up the owners have decided not to submit to any interference on their part. During tho present month tho output of anthracite coal has been larger than was first intended, but notwithstanding a greater output tho stock on hand shows little chango. Taking all the different companies in the East it is be lieved the amount of anthracite coal held In reserve will not be much "over (1(10,000 tons, which is hardly enough to meet a woek's demand. Tho threats of a strike mndc by tho Miners' Union has caused some fear in tho New England states, and the trade there is quite brisk. Most of tho dealers In that section of the country have littlo coal on hand, and they have begun to lay in their winter supply. There Is a disposition to charge foil turllf prices, which has not been the oase in Boston for some time. During the past week thoro lias boon a bettor demand for an thracite coal In this city and at tide water points. Already prices have stif fened and none of the companios is taking orders for shipment after the end of the month.—-Phila. Press. PLEASURE. August 28.—Excursion of Young Men s C. T. A. B.
