Superintendent Smith De mands Unconditional Sur render—Drifton Hotel Vis ited on Saturday. There is nothing particularly new to report in tint Drifton shop strike. Doth sides appear as determined as ever to win. The movement looking tuward a settlement of the trouble, mention of which was made in Friday's issue, lias ended in failure. It was an effort on the part of the clergymen of town to bring the conflicting interests together and to promote harmony. The strikers gave the clergy authority to proceed ac cording to their own judgment, but Superintendent Smith, of Coxe Bros. A Co., gave no encouragement, demand ing nothing less than unconditional sur render on the part of the strikers and at the same time reserving the right to discriminate in re-employing the work men. The responsibility for the failure of the movement rests entirely upon Smith, whose arrogance and stubborn disposi tion have won to the side of the strikers many people who heretofore had with held their sympathy. Coxe Bros. A Co., having refused the offer of peace extended by disinterested parties, have only themselves to blame if the present trouble shall extend. The strikers and organized labor in general arc now fully aware that they are dealing with a corporation which lias at its head one of the most narrow minded and prejudiced men who lias ever had control of largo business interests in tiie coal fields, and the light that will probably result from his rejection of the olive branch will cost the stockholders of Coxe Bros. A. Co. thousands upon thousands of dollars before the men will again give him the opportunity to make honorable peace. The business people, minors and others who are only indirectly interested in this strike regret that the attempt to end the trouble lias failed. The offer, coming as it did from mutual friends who were actuated only by the best motives, should have received more con sideration than was accorded it. Smith's rejection of the clergymen's proposition, however, was a surprise to only those who do not know the man as ho really is. Many peoplo. even in Freeland, judged him by the position lie holds, and expected to liud in him a broad, liberal-minded man, qualified to deal wit.li important questions in a man ner creditable to himself and Coxe Bros. A. Co. His latest action has caused a decided change in the public's opinion of the man, as liu has proven himself to be no more than thoso whose dealings with him in the past considered him— an ungentlemanly upstart whose sole ambition is to crush his fellow-uian. The only redeeming feature of liis lifework is his ability to earn annual dividends of 00 per cent for his employ ers, and in the eyes of the modern Coxe Bros. A Co. this one trait covers and atones for the sultisli, biased and grind ing policy whicli make possible such il legal and ill-begotten gains. lIKIPTON HO I HI. VISITKI). At 4 o'clock Saturday morning Drif ton was visited by a large body of men. There were upwards of gOO people in the line which paraded into that town and halted in front of the Drifton hotel, tlio abiding place of the dozen of non-union men who have taken strikers' places in the shops. So much had been heard of thoso who came hero from distant parts to lill the positions formerly held by local men that much curiosity had boon aroused, and it was to satisfy that curiosity by viewing the non-union men that drew so many strike sympathizers to Drifton at that hour. The paraders, however, were disap pointed, as the objects of their sight seeing expedition did not emerge from the hotel at the usual time to be escort ed to the stockade. In their place, how ever, appeared Superintendent L. C. Smith, who tore around in ridiculous fashion. For half an hour the head of Coxe Bros. A Co. swore and blasphemed at all creation and furnished great amusement fur the crowd. The paraders dispersed at 7.30 o'clock and returned to their homes. Some time later the Drifton band of coal and and iron police, with thirteen non-union men in tow, came out of the hotel and hurried their captives to the shops whore the dailjKtattoo of hammers on old iron began. FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, JULY 29, 1901. Fighters Hard at Training. From bo Wilkesbarre Democrat. Frank McGee, of Philadelphia, who is to light twenty rounds with Thomas i <iuigley, of Luzerne, at Freoland, on the j :t Ist lust., is now hard at work in the training quarters of Jatnes J. Jeffries, the heavy weight champion, at the town of Morchantville, N. J. A gentleman who spent Thursday at the training quarters, states that McGee is in the finest shape of any pugilist he has seen, lie is weighing 105 pounds at noon. As this is live pounds lower than the fixed weight, the lighter will start to take on weight in a few days until he reaches 108. At 3 o'clock on the after noon of the fight the men will weigh in, and it Is expected that McGee will be a little off that weight, but by the time of starting the light he will belli condition. So far the favorite in the bantam weight fight, is Quigley. Nothing can shake the opinion of the friends of the Quaker City fighter, but many of the local sports will back McGee, and ac cording tn the words of Jeffries, in? will be a winner. A special train lias been chartered on the Lehigh Valley Rail road to take the Wilkesbarre "sports' to Freeland. Burglar in Her Room.

The burglar struggled and fought hard is rise, and finally succeeded in throwing Mrs. Tunis aside. lie arose, made one hound and leaped thrmgh the window to the ground just as neighbors were en tering the house in response to Mrs Tunis' screams. They looked for him, but lie had made good his escape. Death of Miss Johnson. Miss Annie Johnson died on Friday at her home in Pittsburg. Up to a few years ago the young lady was a resident of Freeland from her birth. She re moved to Pittsburg with her mother, Mrs. Charles A. Johnson, and her bro thers and sisters. A few months ago she paid this town a visit, in the hope of improving her health. When leaving here she appeared greatly benefitted by her trip, and the news of her death was a surprise to her relatives and friends. Miss Johnson was aged 23 years and besides her mother she is survived by five brothers and two sisters.

Controller Lloyd's attorneys have fin ished the preparation of the controller's contest papers and according to the present program tliov will be filed today. The statement was made a few days ago that Mr. Lloyd had abandoned his idea of contesting the nomination of A. 10. Dick for controller. The controller states that there was no foundation for such a report and his decision to bring the matter bofore the courts shows that ho means to stand by what he said on the evening of the county convention. Strong pressure has been brought to boar on Controller Lloyd to drop the contest, but lie says he cannot afford to, inasmuch as it is his firm belief that he was frauded out of the nomination. Several politicians are doing everything possible to prevent the coutest reaching the courts. Funeral of John Wagner.

ROUND THE REGION. i The dissatisfaction which for some time has existed among the telegraphers, firemen and trainmen of the Central Railroad of Now Jersey, has culminated in the submission of a list of grievances i to the officials and a request for an i answer by August 1. The grievances ; comprise a number of small matters, which tlie men say are very annoying and which could readily be rectified. When the Lehigh valley beer trust, which has thus fur gathered in half ol 1 tb*o breweries In the Lehigh valley, be -1 gins business the rounders who wait on the collector to come around and treat all hands will go thirsty. One of the promoters of the trust says that treating of this kind would cease after August 1, and that in this way every brewer in the trust could save .55,000 a year. Charles Hutching, of Wyoming, re cently employed by the Lackawanna Railroad, was arrested in Scranton, charged with flourishing a weapon. He was lined 510. The magistrate ordered the revolver taken from Hiitchins. The Scranton police say a number of deputies now out of work are still carrying their revolvers. August 5 will be marked by a crisis in the war of the retail liquor dealers of Luzerne and Lackawanna counties against the brewery trust. On that date a special meeting of the association is called, and if the trust does not make concessions foreign beer will be import ed and all state breweries boycotted. Government detectives visited numer ous Shainokin saloons, and wherever two barrooms were not found connected by a flight of steps, the proprietors were ordered to pay $35 additional revenue tax. Some of the restaurant men will make a test caso. A non-union Wilkesbarre machinist, William lverwin, was rescued from a mob by the police before serious injury was done to him. Upon being refused a drink in a saloon he flashed a revolver and threatened to shoot the proprietor and barroom attendants. A bad complexion generally results from inactive liver and bowels.
