Situation Today. The strike of the Drifton mechanics entered upon its .ocond week today. The striker, have made many ;;alns the. past few days by tbo addition of those who continued to work. They were inet by the strikers and induced to quit. No further breaks from the rauks are ex pected to occur. The strikers have the sympathy of the people and by their peaceable actions hope to merit It. The men are determined and confident of winning and the efforts of the manage ment to create distrust and dissension among them have proved failures. Saturday the company posted the following notice at Drifton: "Notiok.—ln view of the permsnant closing of the Stockton breaker, and tho subsequent closing of the mines, and further, the policy of restricting the work at tho Drifton shops to the needs of Core Brothers and Company, Incorporated, only, you arc hereby noti fied that a general re arrangement of forces will be put In effect at said shops. To carry out this scheme, It has been decided to permenantly close tho foun dry and pattern shop, todisponse, gener ally, with tho services of apprentices, In all shops; to contract all painting, all moulding work, and all other machine work and blacksmith work, except emergency jobs. We will, therefore, receive applica tions for employment of twenty-five (25) machinists and ten (10) machinists help ers, under forty-five years of age; marri ed men preferred, eight (8) blacksmiths and (10) blacksmiths helpers; eighteen (18) car repairers and seven (7) carpen ters; (10) boiler-makers and five (5) boil er-makers helpers; and eight (8) appren tices, to be distributed between the different shops. Painters, tnotildors, pattern-makers and fancy carpenters not wanted. Coxa Brothers & Company, Inc." The notice is looked upon as another bluff for which the Drifton company Is becoming notorious. The condition of machinery and other matters at Drifton which required tho attention of the strikers when at work is fast becoming dilapidated. The Coxo residences at Drifton, at which repairs wore being made by work men from Philadelphia when the strike was declared are in an unfinished state. The workmen refused to continue work after the strike was declared and re turned to Philadelphia. It 1s the opinion of many that the strike cannot last much longer and a move on the part of the company to wards a settlement is looked for in a short time. Notes About Students. Frank O'Donuell, of Drifton, a student at St. Mary's seminary, Baltimore, Is home on a vacation. John J. McUarey and Miss Maggie Uaffnoy were at Fast Stroudsburg last week.

L. 231; therefore, be it "Resolved, That it is the duty of the county commissioners to forthwith enter upon and take said bridges, according to the provisions of said act.
