CONFERENCE
WAS HELD
Miners Meet With Officials
of Markle & Co.
Trouble Over Rock Breasts
in No. 5 Colliery the Sub
ject of a Lengthy Meeting
in Jeddo Today.
A committee of the employes of G.
It. Markle & Co. had a conference at 9
o'clock this morning with Superinten
dent W. 11. Smith, Jr., at Jeddo. The
purpose of the conference was to en
deavor to amicably adjust the trouble
which has arisen over the question of
paying for rock in certain breasts in No.
5 colliery.
There are over forty places affected
by this rock, which varies in thickness
from three to fourteen inches in differ
ent breasts. At times two and three
seams of rock are found, with thin
layers of coal between.
The firm has offered to pay the hun
dred or more men employed in these
breasts by the day, and while some
minors favored the acceptance of this
offer the majority opposed it, as they
would have to remain on day's wages
until the work is completed. The lat
ter were also backed by other contract
miners, who feared that the placing of
so many men ou company work would
be the entering wedge that would break
up contract mining under this firm.
In order to bring about an amicable
adjustment the committee called upon
Superintendent Smith this morning.
The trouble was gone over in detail.
The result was an agreement that the
affected placos will be examined to
morrow by two mine foremen and two
miners from another section of the col
liery.
The men in the rock breasts will re
sume work tomorrow, pending a final
settlement of the difficulty.

Fighting With the Boers.
J. North King, a nephew of ex-Senator
King, of Schuylkill county, is covering
himself with glory in the Transvaal.
Some years ago he spent some time in
Freeland, in charge of stripping opera
tions for his father, and was known
here as a daring and fearless man and
an expert in the use of dynamite and
other high explosives.
Mr. King was in South Africa when
the war there began. Naturally, his
sympathies went with the Boers In the
struggle, and the war was not long in
progress until he cast his lot with the
sturdy Dutch farmers.
His knowledge of explosives made him
a valuable acquisition to the army and
his work in that lino has earned for him
the sobriquet of "Dynamite Dick." Ad
vices from the scene of war tell of many
daring exploits conducted by our former
townsman, including the derailing of
British trains, blowing up of bridges
and in other ways harassing the enemy.
Fire Scare Last Evening.
A small blaze was discovered at 7
o'clock last evening at the side of A.

side the stable. The blaze was gaining
headway when discovered, but the
prompt arrival of help resulted in the
quenching of the flames before any
serious damage was done.
Upon the discovery of tho fire a mes
senger was sent to sound the alarm.
DePierro Bros.' key for box 32 was
obtained and tho alarm was about to be
sounded when it was learued that the
fire was under control.

Chas. W. Chase, who dramatized
"Quo Vadis" from Henry Sienkiewicz'
famous novel, comes of a family of
ministers of the gospel; his father and
grandfather as far back as their geneal
ogy can be traced have all been clergy
men. In a recent interview ho said:
"It has been one ambition of my life to
place upon the stage a drama which
would bring the church and the stage
closer together, and I am sure I have
found it at last in 'Quo Vadis. 1 I can
now invite every Christian family, no
matter of what denomination, to witness
this play, and can assure them that
they will receive no shock to their con
science and will listen to one of the
grandest sermons that has ever been
preached to man."
