TWELVE MEN DISCHARGED Markle & Co. Inviting Troa ble at Ebervale. While the District Board of the Union Is Seeking Ways of Settlement the Firm Increases Tension. The relations between (. B. Markle & Co., of Jeddo, and their employes were further strained yesterday by the discharge of twelve men at Ebervale col liery. The only reson given those victims of the firm's ill-will was that they were not performing sufficient work—a reason which does not bear the stamp of truth when the amount of work they have been performing is com pared with that done by others or with that done by themselves in the past. The executive board of District No. 7, U. M. W., was in session at Ha/.laton, considering the grievances of Markle <fc Co.'s men, when the news of this whole sale discharge reached them. The board had been given authority by the firm's employes to effect a settlement, if possible, and were about to consider ways of avoiding further trouble. The action of the company naturally caused them to abandon almost all hope of gaining anything for their constituents through peaceful negotiations. What action was taken has not been announced by the board, beyond the fact that the Markle troubles will bo considered at the joint meeting on Sat urday of the executive boards of Dis tricts 1, 7 and 9. Markle's employes are unable to sug gest a motive for the firm's action yes- ; terday. The only construction placed upon the discharge of the twelve men is that the firm is anxious to goad the men into aVatrike. There is a further feeling among the miners that if Superintendent Smith, who is absent, were at home, an ami able settlement could be reached. The Event of the Season. Buffalo Courier, April 18, 1901. The remarkable success of Miss Mil dred Holland at the Teck theater this week really makes her engagement the event of the local season. To those who, prior to the present engagement, had never seen Miss Holland in emotional work such as is required of her in "The Power Behind the Throne," her acting is causo for astonishment. That she is gifted with talent and ability to a mar velous degree Is patent after she has been on the stage but a few minutes, and as the play progresses this impres sion becomes stronger and firmer until, with the descent of the curtain on the last act, it develops into a settled con viction. The role of Aria In "The Power Be hind the Throne" is more pretentious than anything Miss Holland has here tofore essayed, and the dramatic fervor and intensity of her work are indica tions of the possibilities which the fu ture holds in store for her. She is the Leliitfh Valley liiiproveinentx. The improvements at the Lehigh Val ley station at Washington and Scott streets. Buffalo, are well under way, and will be complete before the opening of tho Pan-American Exposition. Additional passenger tracks have been installed, and the capacity of tho train sheds more than doubled. Tho enlarged baggage room will be used solely for outgoing baggage; all Incoming baggage being handled in an additional baggage room established on Scott street, adjoining the station build ing. To facilitate the rapid unloading of excursion trains, a twenty-foot walk has been constructed to the north of the station, projecting over the Hamburg canal. This will obviate the necessity of having excursionists walk through tho main waiting-room. A commodious parcel-room lias been established, the space assigned to the ticket agent Increased, and the improve ments. now almost completed, will, it is thought, be ample to take care of the largely increased passenger business which this line expects to transact. The total expenses of the alterations and enlargements will exceed twenty thousand dollars. "I have been troubled with Indiges tion for ten years, have tried many things and spent much money to no pur pose until I tried Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. I have taken two bottles and gotten more relief from them than all other medicines taken. I feel more like a hoy than I have felt in twenty years."— Anderson Iliggs, of Sunny Lane, Texas. Thousands have testified as did Mr. Biggs, drover's Cltv drug store. MISCELLANEOUS ADVERTISEMENTS. LpOK SALE.—#OOO for five-room dwelling and _T lot. 50x160 feet, on North Birkbeck street.

Sports Out in Force. The sporting fraternity of the coal fields is heading for Freeland today, and by evening all the prominent members of this class are expected to bo here to attend the boxing carnival to be given at the Grand opera house under the auspices of the Sterling Athletic Club. All the required preparations have V>een made to give excellent exhibitions j of the art of sparring, and the reputa. tions of the n.en engaged is proof that the carnival ought to be well worth the admission to all who take an interest in the sport. The Philadelphia men have arrived In town and are the guests of Wilty Dougherty. The Wllkesbarre men will arrive today and will be taken care of by John C. Doyle. Although Ma/.anta and Burke, of VVilkesbarre, will spar only six rounds, there is a friendly rivalry between the men which promises to make their con test Interesting. Donohue and Cleary, of Philadelphia, who will give a ten-round exhibition, are well known boxers, as also are McGee and Ashton, who are booked for an eight-round battlo. The first bout will begin at 8.30 o'clock. To Reward Heroic Miners. In the legislature yesterday State Senator Drury, of Luzerne county, in troduced a bill providing for the re warding of miners or other persons for brave or heroic deeds in saving life and valuable property inside and around the mines. The bill provides that for all deeds of unusual bravery or heroism on the part of any person or persons in saving life or property in or about the mines, a gold medal of honor, to cost j not loss than SIOO, shall be awarded to such person. If a life bo sacrificed in the performance of such deeds 82,000 in addition to the medal shall be awarded to the family or legal heirs of such per son. The awards are to be made by the department of internal affairs. Birthday Celebration. The anniversary of the birth of J. P.

Mrs. Alice Richards has arrived at Wllkesbarre from New Jersey to prose cute her case against Abram Nesbltt, president of the Second National bank, for the recovery of $84,500, on a judg ment note. She denies the rumor that Mr. Nesbltt was being blackmailed. Abram Nesbltt yesterday again declared that the note was a forgery and says he believes the note was not made until after Mr. Richards' death. He asserts that Richards owed him 810,000 when he died. Stolen Goods Recovered. A quantity of wearing apparel was stolen from a trunk in tho Lehigh Valley Railroad's baggage room Monday night. The goods were recovered later In the coal shed at Highland school house. They were the property of two of the Coxe ladies at Drifton and were very valuable. Tho Lehigh Valley detectives were on the case yesterday but failed to capture the thief. Returned to Hospital.

Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is "the result of years of scientific research for something that would digest not only some elements of food but every kind. And it is the one remedy that will do it.
