STAR SHOE STORE, HUGH MALLOY, PKOP., Centre *nd Walnut Streets CRUSHED BY FALL OF ROCK Young Man Killed Today at Sandy Hun. Shortly After Beginning His Work This Morning Char les Broderick Met Instant Death in Kemmerer's Mine. Charles Broderick. aged 21 years, was instantly killed this morning in Sandy Run slop* by a fall of rock. The young man was employed at the bottom of the main slopd as a hitcber. and had been at work only a short while when a mass of top rock fell upon him without warning and crushed out his life. The fall came so suddenly that he was unable to escape. The young man, who but recently at tained his majority, was a son of Mr. and Mrs. John Broderick, of Handy Run. and was popular among his associates and the people of his town. He was a brother to Martin Broderick, of Freo land, and Matt Broderick, the well known ball player. The deceased was a member of Local Union No. 1653, U. M. W. of A., of Sandy Run, and Division 19, A. O. H., of Freeland. Funeral on Wednesday morning, with requiem mass at St. Ann's church at 9 o'clock. Interment at St. Ann's ceme tery. Murdered in His Home. Jaino3 Larklns, 57 yaars old. who lod the life of a hermit on the shores of Harvey's Lake, the popular summer resort, was found dead In his cabin yesterday. lie had been murdered during the night. His throat was cut almost from oar to ear, and there were several stab wouods on the body. Samuel Keller spent the night with Larklus, and as thoy had a bottle of whisky between them the supposition Is that thoy quarreled over the liquor and then started to fight, using their huge pocket knives for weapons. The howling of a dog attracted atten tion to Larklns' cottsge yesterday. A neighbor went in and found the owner dead on the flnor. Near-by was Keller, who was in a stupor. Ills clothes were covered with blood, and be had a stab wound on the neck, but it was onlv a slight one. Keller was at once placed under arrest and lodged In the county jail to await a hearing. The prisoner says he does not know how his friend met his death. lie thought he heard him cry for help at an early hour yesterday morning. Keller Is (SO years of age and well-known. Coray Urged to Stand. E A. Coray, who represented the Second district In the last legislature, has not yet signified his Intention of being a candidate for re-election, although bis friends want him to enter the race. Mr. Coray himself says: "I felt that I would uot bo called upon to be candidate again. There are many good men in the district who would make their mark in the house." Mr. Coray's reluctance to be a candi date is due to the fact that his health is not good, and he thinks that if he should take a long rest it would be bettor for him. But the Indications are that Mr. Coray s friends will insist upon his being a candidate. They will be satisfied with no one else, and lie may thus bo forced Into the fight. Last week a paper which supports the Quay faction published an article to the effect that Mr. Coray overthrew his party In the last election; that he is now a Democrat, and if ho goes back to the legislature it must bo as a Democrat. The Wilkesbarro Record, which sup ported the Democratic-Union ticket last fall, says in answer to the attacks upon Mr. Coray: "Let the machine bosses in this county who have control of the party organization follow the advice of their party organ and rule E.

Eight-Hour-Day Tomorrow. The members of the United Mine Workers in the anthracite and bitumin ous regions will observe a new holiday tomorrow. April 1 is known as Eight- Hour-Day, and no member of the miners' union will work tomorrow, ex cepting those whose positions are such that their services are necessary to keep the colliery in condition. For a few years past the day has been observed in portions of the bituminous fields, but this year it Is expected that it will be celebrated in every state whore the United Mine Workers has a member. The members of the union on the South Side will parade tomorrow, and outside of this there will bo no formal observance of the day in the Lehigh region. Unique Politician Dead. David A. Potts, of Wilkesbarre, one of the most unique politicians in the st&to, 1 was found dead in bed Saturday morn ing, having expired during the night of heart disease. Potts was born in England 55 years ago. lie came to this t county when a boy and has worked in the mines all bis life. Thirty-four years ago he ran for office on the Labor ticket and every year since ho has been a candidate for some office in the county, both municipal and state elections, but was never elected. At the end of every campaign, when he was defeated, ha would apply for an appointment, but never secured a poli tical position in the thirty-four years he was seeking one. Trouble at Derringer. Coxe Bros. &Co.'s miners at Derringer notified the company's officials on Thursday that they would not work next day, it being Good Friday, and a majority of the employes wished to appropriately observe the holiday. On Saturday the breaker whistle blew the signal for work, and when the men ar rived at the slopes they were notified that they were suspended until Tuesday. All were sent home with instructions to report tomorrow. As tomorrow Is "Eight-Hour-Day," and the miners have decided' not to work any where, it is likely the collieries will be shut down again. If the men are suspended on Wednesday troublo is predicted. Spotted With Telescopes. All last week the hills surrounding the Woodward and the Pettebono breakers of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Company, near Wilkes barre, have bristled with telescopes. Committees of the union mine workers employed at these two collieries, but at present locked out, have been stationed at advantageous points and their glasses have enabled thorn to identify men at work in and about the engine, fan and pump houses, at tho head of the shafts They now know all the non-uuion. men who have taken their places and have a list of them for future reference. Young Lad's Long Ride. With no othor directions than a tag attached to his buttonho'e, which read: "To John Smith, Mahanoy City, Schuyl kill ennnty. Pa., North America," six year old John Dill man traveled 3,000 miles overland and by water (rum Anstro-Hnngary to Mahanoy City In search of bis parents. The lad arrived safely Saturday after noon over tho Lehigh Valley Railroad, apparently none the worse for his long pilgrimage, which consumod two months. He was reunited with his parents, who reside at now Itnrk Mountain. Easter in Freeland.
