The 5.000 union miners at Nantlcoke
had agreed to quit work on Wednesday
if any non-union men were employed at

hanna Coal Company or the Bliss colliery
of the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern Company. Card inspection commit
tees were to have been placed at the en
trance of each mine, but the flood and
the storm has compelled the shilling
down of each taiue.
FREELAND, PA., FRIDAY, MARCH 7, 1902.
DRIFTON.
The big storm on Wednesday was
severely felt In Drifton. The stopping
of the trolley cars kept a large number
of our men in their homes that night,
they being unable to go to Freeland,
and for that their families were thank
ful. The night school was not opened,
as the teacher, Mr. Hoffman, could not
get here. The running of trains on the
I). S. S. was done with difficulty and
only after the breaker employes had
shoveled the snow from the tracks.
• The troiley cars reached town yesterday
morning and by evening they got as far
as Freeland.
Coxe Bros. & Co. have -men at work
making preparations to meet the next
"thaw." It is feared that when the
snow begins to melt again the water
will rush into the mines, and to keep
out as much of this as possible is the
1 object of the work now being done.
Relatives hern have received word
that Franeis'Ward, of Woodslde, who is
receiving treatment at the Miners hospi
tal for injuries received two weeks ago
in the mines, is in a critical condition.
Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Stevens and
daughter, Miss Jennie, left on Wednes
day for Pottsvllle to attend the funeral
of the former's mother.
The breaker boys who are idle on ac
count of the floods and blizzards are
taking advantage of their vacation by
attending school.
Superintendent Harvey E. Hoffman is
making his regular monthly visit to the
schools of Foster township.
The water in No. 2 slope is still being
brought to tlie surface by the aid of the
gunboats.
There will be a meeting of St. Ann's
Cadet Society at their rooms on Sunday.
Con Gillespie, who has been laid up
with a fractured arm, lias recovered.
Sarsfield McCarthy, whose leg was
badly hint a week ago, is improving.
James North and son, Denis, visited
Hazleton yesterday.
New shutes have been placed iu No. 2
breaker.
Wednesdays Snowfall.
Wednesday's heavy snow storm, while
not doing so much damage as the flood
of last week, parulyzed the railroads
again, and the running of trains on
schedule time has not yet been effected
From 3 o'clock on Wednesday traffic on
rail and trolley roads came practically
to a standstill for that day. Trains
were abandoned at several points on the
local lines, and the entire forces of the
companies'were sot to work clearing the
tracks. Fortunately the snow ceased
falling and drifting Wednesday night,
and line weather lias since been the rule.
Many collieries whieh had recovered
sufficiently from the flood effects to re
sume work have been thrown idle on ac.
count of the railroad blockades. It is
expected, however, that most of the
mines hereabouts will resume operations
the early part of next week.
It is feared that when the body of
snow now on the ground begins to molt
that another freshet will result. The
operators of the surrounding collieries
are trying to guard their mines against
flooding when that time comes, and
gangs of men are making passages for
the water to flow off to the streams and
canals, instead of into the mines.
The deptli of the snow which fell on
Wednesday varies from eight inches to
three feet in town. Out of town, where
it had a better opportunity to drift, it is
six feet deep in some spots.
Miners Will Appeal Again.
The executive committee of the
United Mine Workers, of District No. 1,
will make another attempt tomorrow to
see the officials of the Delaware, Lacka
wanna and Western Company, and
make a second effort to have the dis
charged (ircmen at the. Woodward.
Avondale and Pettebone collieries rein
stated.
There are only twenty of these, but
their discharge has resulted in a strike
of the mine workers at the Avondale
and a lockout of the men at the P.ette
bone and Woodward, 2,150 In all.
The firemen refuse to sign an agree
ment to obey the new swing shift rule
for Sundays, which compels them to
work ten hours on one shift, one Sun
day, and the next fourteen hours in
two shifts.
The United Mine Workers have ap
proved their course, and sanctioned the
strike at the Avondale, which is tanta
mount to endorsing a strike at
one of the twenty-one collieries of the
company where an attompt is made to
enforce the order, and the firemen who
refuse to obey It are discharged.

Attorney Ray Van Horn, who is the
clerk for Plymouth borough, has asked
the council to reduce his salary from
$250 a year to S3OO. He says that as the
finances of the borough are low he does
not think tho borough can afford to pay
him the full amount, and as he is a lax
payer himself he is willing to accept less.
The council accepted his proposition.
No other officials have yet followed his
exam-pie.

Is a rather unusual combination, yet
of that the town of Coffeyvllle, Kan.,
can boast," said George B. Bailey of
Atchison, Kan. "He is I)r. N. O. P.

advice and writing prescriptions since
1830, when he graduated from a med
ical college in Kentucky or Tennessee,

and came to this country with his par
ents in 1524.
"In spite of his age, he is still a

calls and never goes out in the even

er, and receives patients at his house.
IDs mind is in tine condition, and he
enjoys excellent use of his faculties,

"Dr. Wood attributes his old age to
heredity and temperate habits. lie

lived long lives. Ills father was 102

seven. His uncles, aunts and brothers
all lived to he between ninety and 100

Although Centre street has been
cleared for traffic, the Lehigh Traction
cars are run no further than the bor
ough limits. It is presumed that the
ordinance passed on Monday evening by

which enter town, is responsible for tho
inconvenience which tho Traction's
patrons are given.
Fighting Filipinoes has no fascination
for Freeland young men, and the re
cruiting station which was recently
opened here was closed last night. Our
town has hundreds of men who are will

there is not one, as is shown by the
recruiting agent's record, willing to go

Not Used to Hard Work.
Men who have been brought by tho
bridge-building companies to work on
the wrecked bridges on the Jorsey
Central and Lehigh Valley Railroads,
between White Haven and Maucb
Chunk, are deserting in largo numbers.
These men were hurriedly gathered
together in New York and other large
cities and come from a class not used to
work. They eat and sleep in coaches
along the railroads and live high, but
they are apparently unaccustomed to
hard labor and few of them car® to
exert themselves.
Three of the deserters struck town
Wednesday night and were given lodg
ing at the police station. They spent
several hours yesterday begging money
from our residents to assist them in
getting back to New York.
