STAB SHOE STORE, HUGH MALLOY, PBOP., Centre and VTfilmit Sheets TRUCE DECLARED. Strike Order Postponed fer a Period Net Kxceedlog Thirty Days. President Mitchell lest night sent the following telegram addressed to the sec retaries of the three anthracite dis tricts: "We held a conference with presidents of coal carrying railroads and concili ation committee of National Civic Fed eration today. After discussing situ ation the Civic Federation requested postponement of action for a period not to exceed thirty days, within which time operators agree to meet us in conference with Civic Federation for the purpose of trying to reconcile differences between us. In the meantime mines are to con tinue in operation as usual. We are hopeful that questions at issue will ho satisfactorily adjusted and strike avert ed. Notify all mine workers to defer action upon resolution adopted at Sha mokin convention." Mine workers and mine owners of the anthracite field debated their differ ences for four hours yesterday at New York In & conference arranged by the conciliation committee of the National Civic Federation, and the mine workers agreed not to carry out their threat to suspend work three days in each week after April 1. The miners asked for an Increase in pay, a shortening of the working day te eight hours and the adoption of a scale for the entire district. The operators declined to grant the demands as to time and pa'y, and refused to permit the com plete unionization of their properties. The operators offered to meet employes with grievances at any time, but insist ed that there be no distinction between union and non-union men. They also asserted that present market conditions did not warrant any increase in wages or a decrease In working tine. Senator Hanna, Oscar Strans and Frank Duncan, a subcommittee named by the conciliators, arranged the con ference. The operators prosent were W. K. Truesdale, of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad; E. B. Thomas, of the Erie Railroad; George 8. Baer, of the Reading Railway, and Robert Olyphant, of the Delaware and Hudson Company, while t-ho spokes men for the miners wore Presidents Mitchell, Nicholls, Fahy and Duffy. The operators asserted that the ulti matum of the union to strike on April 1 did not give proper time for a discus sion of the differences oxisting and seemed like a threat. President Mitch ell and his associates said they were desirous of improving the condition of their fellow-workers by peaceful means and that while there was any prospect of accomplishing their purpose by such means they were prepared to withhold the strike order. Mr. Mitchell agreed to withdraw the order temporarily to give opportunity for the second confer ence which Senator Hanna Is to call. When Senator Hanna came from the conference room he said: "The miners' representatives have pledged themselves to withdraw the threat of a partial strike on April 1. Both sides are to take time to consider the representations made today and in thirty days or at call, the committee Is to meet and bear the results of this de liberation. An agreement seems like ly."

Freeland's New Financial Institution Excellently Pre pared to Cater to the Re quirements of Its Patrons. Tho First National bank of Freeland will open its doors for business on Tues day morning, April 1, at 9 o'clock. For the present the business will be carried on In Sachs' building on Front street, one door below Centre, where comfort able quarters have been secured. The fixtures of the bank are now being placed in position, and, while not elaborate, are neat and substantial, and patrons will find all the accommoda tions necessary for the transaction of their business. On Wednesday evening there was in stalled In the banking room a safe which is worthy of some notice, Inas much as It is*the first of its kind to come to this part of tho state. It was manufactured by the Illbbard- Rodman-Ely Safe Company, of Now York city, and Is made from Manganese steel. It is guaranteed to be proof against any explosive or any drill now In existence. Neither lire nor dynamite can Injure either tho exterior or in terior. The safe is remarkable from the fact that it consists of but two parts—the safe proper and the door. Both pieces of steel are as they came from the mold and fit together in the beveled opening with a nicety that is marvelous. When closed the door Is held by six three-Inch wedge-bolts. Two separate combinations regulate these bolts, and further protection Is given by a triple clock-work movement which, when either one or all three time-pieces are set, prevent tho opening of the safe by rendering the combinations useless until the arrival of the hour designated on the clocks, which, of course, are inside the door and cannot be tampered with. When tho bank closes at night these clocks may be set to run down at 8 30 o'clock next morning, or twenty, forty or sixty hours later. During that period tho contents of the safe are as secure from those who may know the combina tions of the locks as they are from burglars. Tho interior is divided into two main compaitments —one of which contains three sub-divisions to accommodate the different moneys which the law requires the bank to carry in stock. This is guarded by another intricate lock made by tho famous Yale Company. The other compartment is located In the upper part of the safe and will con tain tho money used In the ordinary routine business. This safe required twenty-eight days' work on the part of several men, and was constructed in tho company's shop 9 at Forth Arnboy, N. J. Mr. Hlbbard, the head of tho firm which manufactures these safes, holds over 500 patents which were granted to him by tho government on this stylo of a money-box. The liriu has a standing offer of $lO,- 000 to any person who will open one of their Manganese-steel safes within forty hours, after the time-pieces and lock combinations have been set. Another smaller and less expensive safe, also burglar and fire-proof, has been ordered and will bo used for tho keeping of the bank's books and papers. The stockholders of tho bank have exercised great care in selecting for their officers men who have the confid ence and good will of tho public at large, and the patrons of the institution can fool secure that the business will receive from the officials all tho attention which their duties call for. Tho president is Amandus Oswald and tho vice president is George C. Christian, who, with the following, constitute tho board of directors: Dr. S. S. Iless, A. Ooeppert, B. F. Davis, J. J. McMena min, Thomas L. Edmunds, Fetor Tim ony, John Rugan and James E. Griffith. Tho cashier, who is already ir> charge, and is supervising tho fitting up of the bank quarters, is F. M. Everett. Until recently he was cashier for the Ml. Carmel Banking Company, which he resigned to accept his present position, j Mr. Everett will bo assisted by Walter j Davis, at present deputy postmaster, | who has been appointed teller. Mrs. i William J. Butz will serve as book- j keeper. The bank will be open dally from 9 to ' 3 o'lock, and on Wednesday evenings from fi to 7 o'clock. Two per cent In- I terest will bo paid ou savings deposits. I FILLED ALL THE OFFICES Organization Work Com pleted Last Evening.
