MINERS WILL
DEMAND LAWS
10.000 Anthracite Workers
May March on Capital.
Movement Started to En
force the Passage of Bills
by the State Legislature—
Fahey at Its Head.
Plans are afoot for the descent upon
Harrlsburg of an army of anthracite
coal miners to demand legislation In
their Interest at the hands of the reluct
ant senate.
John Fahey, national organizer and
president of District No. 9, United Mine
Workers of America, arrived at Harrls
burg yesterday for the avowed purpose
of serving notice on the leaders of the
Quay machine that unless tbo demands
of the miners are met they will make a
personal show of force that will compel
attention.
Fahey's plans is to organize an army
of not less than 10,000 men, assembling
them at Pottsville or some other avail
able point, and marching them to
Ilarrisburg as Coxny's army marched to
Washington. Unlike Coxey's horde of
nondescript adventurers, however, this
army would be composed of the citizens
who carry the elections in the great
anthracite coal counties.
Fahey says his army could be mobi
lized in twenty-four hours. He spent
part of the day in inspecting available
sites for a camp. He insists that the
plan will be carried out unless the
senate leaders agree to put through the
miners' bills recently adopted bv the
house and since held up in senate com
mittees.
These bills provide for the abolition
of company stores, by taxing them out
of existence; for tho weighing of coal
before it Is screened, so that the miner
shall be paid for all the coal ho digs; for
the election of mine inspectors by tho
people of their districts, instead of ap
pointment by the governor, and for in
creasing the number of inspectors from
eight to sixteen.
Fahey's presence was directly due to
the discovery by Representative Darner,
of Schuylkill, that the senate committee,
which recently gave tho miners' repre
sentatives a hearing, had subsequently
decided to report the bills out with
negative recommendations.
The milling people demand the passage
of these bills in return for their part in
sending Quay members to this legisla
ture from their counties. They are
thoroughly convinced now that the
machine leaders never intended to make
good their promises. Accordingly they
have determined to apply heroic
methods.
Closed the Season
With tho presentation of "The Power
llehlnd the Throne" at the Grand opera
house Wednesday evening the regular
season of 1900-1901 came to a close In
Fraeland. It is doubtful if a better
select! m could have beon made from tho
hundreds of companies on the road than
the one headed by Miss Mildred Holland,
as the performance uridoubtudly gave
more general satisfaction than any
drama over before played In the town.
The attendance was not what it
should bave beon, but those who ac
cepted the management's guarantee
that they ..would see a plav the peer of
auythlng heretofore producod in Free
land found this statement verified In
every particular.
The company Is composed of rocognlz
od artists, and while Miss Holland was
naturally the centre of attraction she
did not have a inonuply of the talent on
the stage, for evory member of the cast
was equal to bis or her opportunity.
Tbu play, consequently, was given in a
manner which deserved the unstinted
"I have been sulfering from dyspepsia
for tile past twenty years and have boon
unable after trying all preparations and
lOiysiclans to get any relief. After
taking one bottle of kodol Dyspepsia
Cure I found relief and am now in better
health than I have been for tweritv
years. I can not praise Kodol Dyspep
sia Cure too highly." Thus writes Mrs.
G. W. Roberts, North Creek, Ark.

applause and the curtain calls brought
forth by the high standard of actiug.
The scenic feature of the production
was a revelation to even those who are
accustomed to seeing heavily-staged
plays In the large cities. This was
especially true of the third act, which
showed an Austrian court ball-room,
with its massive arches, hanging balcony
and broad staircase.
The season oponed on September 11,
1900, and since then thirty-seven per
formances were given under the manage
ment of the bouse. In addition to these,
fourteen dramas, entertainments, etc.,
were given at the Grand by other
parties. Compared with the previous
season there were thirty less attractions
presented by the management, but not
withstanding this decrease in the num
ber of shows the season jost ended was
financially more profitable than Its pre
decessor, as larger audiences and higher
prices prevailed this year.
"Way Down East," on December 11,
drew the largest house, numerically and
financially, in the history of the town,
1.309 people paying admission to attend
and the receipts amounting to (.360.35.
Troubles of Churches.
A bill ID equity has been tiled Id court
by Rev. Dominick Pcruzzi against a
nuipber of persons, asking that the
defendants be restrained from Interfer
ing with the plaintlfT in the performance
of his duties. Rev. Peruzzi, the plain
tiff, 19 the pastor of the Hazleton Italian
church. He clairasHhat on last Sunday,
while performing his duties as priest, he
was interfered with and prevented from
discharging his duties and holding of re
ligious service by tho violent action of
the defendants, by locking the doors of
the church, throwing people out of the
building and threatening and terrorizing
the people.
A strange story in connection with
the First Congregational church, of
West Pittston, was brought to light
yesterday by the arrest of Harry Jones,
one of Its leading members, on the
charge of misappropriating the moneys
of tho church entrusted to his care.
Wien arrested he admitted his guilt
arid said that he had spent all the
money. He was held under bail. Rev.
R. G. Heal, the pastor of the church,
says that in ten years enough money
has been raised to pay off the debt three
times over, but that it has been misap
propriated by officials.
Assessment Transcripts.
Revised transcripts of their rial estate
assessments are being received by the
property owners of town. The new
figures, as a rule, show a decrease from
those which appeared on the transcripts
sent out in March. The rates now
fixed upon for the various sections of
the borough are more satisfactory than
before, but compared with actual values
are still very unequal—some lots being
assessed at their full market value and
others as low as 40 per cent of their
selling price.
Tho usual discriminations on property
valuations are apparent—homes worth
from SI.OOO down being assessed at from
80 to 100 per cent of their cost, while
many more valuable buildings escape
with a rating of from 30 to 00 por cent
of their value.
Sent to Reformatory.
George Mtnsif, Jr., aged 11 years, and
George Fatula. aged 19 yoars, young
boys residing at Eckley, who were com
mitted to jail a few wocks ago by Squire
Buckley, were taken Into court on Wed
nesday afternoon. Tho boys had their
ambitions fired by tho lurid descriptions
in certain yellow-covered books of Indian
fighting and graphic word pictures of
the life of adventurers on the plains and
concluded to leave the quiet precincts of
Eckley. Before leaving each boy secur
ed a revolver and a knife and then stole
$54 belonging to George Menslf, father
of one of the boys.
When called for trial the boys pleaded
guilty and, as their parents stated they
wore beyond control, Judge Halsey
sentenced them to the Huntingdon
Reformatory.
