STAR SHOE STORE, UUGIi M ALLOY, I'llOl'., Mill WrtUhif Streets STRIKE CLOUDS DISAPPEARING Peace in the Anthracite Field Assured. Threatened Cessation of Mining Will Undoubtedly Be Averted by Tomorrow's Meeting in New York. Representatives of the Unitad Mine Workers of America, the anthracite j coai operators and tha conciliation com- ! mittee of the National Civic Federation will meet tumoriow in New York city, I and the reports from the metropolis today give assurances that the threat ened strike of the 140,000 anthracite ml no employes will be averted. From New York comes the statement that concessions have been made by both miners and operators. It is said that the miners will waive their demand for the recognition of their union in dealing with their em ployers, and will also postpone their enforcement of the eight-hour day de mand. The operators, it Is claimed, have agreed to give their employes another advance in wages. .Inst how much the increase to he conceded will amount to the Tribune is not prepared to state, but 10 per cent on present wages will likely be the figure. District No. 7 will be represented in the conference by President Thomas Duffy, of McAdoo; District Hoard Mem ber W. 11. Detrey, of Nuremberg, and National Hoard Member P. G. Gallagher, of PYecland. They will leave at 0 o'clock this evening for New York.

Sc Co.'s and Markle & Co.'s omployes are in this class, and unless the Civic Federation can present a plau which will insure general peace the miners may not accept the concessions ofTered.

The firm sells a fountain pen for 83.50 to every one who enters its employ on a contract to wrlto sixty letters a week to friend,-, for which the firm pays 8fi.50 a week.

An interestiugdisi losuro was madeves terday when the Lake Shore Railroad Company's annual report for 1901 ap peared and confessed ownership by the company of $9,200,000 par value of Lehigh Valley Railway stock acquired at a cost to tho company of $1,920,000 or a basis of GO per cent, Lehigh Valley stock being half shares. This announce ment of tho ownership by a Vanderbilt rallrviad of a stock interest in an anthracite coal carrying property was the first intimation which tho public has had of a development of the plans of the Vanderbilt management in that direc tion. It has been recognized that tho Van darbi'ts were heavily interested in the anthracite coal fields, not only as owners ' of frtuck of the Delaware and Hudson ' and the Lackawanna Railroads, but in the Reading as well, though no official confirmation of tbe relations of the ' Reading and the Vanderbilts has ever been obtained. There has been ground for belief that, : thro'tigh tljfe tiding ffeacht-d EPEELAND, PA., FR j between VV. K. Vanderbilt and President | Cassatt, of the Pennsylvania Railroad, | under which the latter secured an nnop ' posed control of the soft coal carrying 1 railroads, the dominance In the an thracite coal railroad industry was left to the Vanderbllts if they should choose Ito make It effective. This heavy pur ! chase of Lehigh Valley may be very I signlficent. Prices far Street Lights. . President Ross, of the Freeland Electric Light, Ilcat and Power Com pany, lias offered to the borough coun cil, through Its light committee, several propositioas for street lighting. Tho present contract has about expired and ( council recently instructed the light committee to ascertain upon what term?* it could be renewod. The borough is now using 41 arc lamps of 2,000 candle-power each, for which SBO par lamp per year is paid. The light company lights the Municipal building throughout without .compensa tion. President Ross, on a 40-iamp contract, agrees to furnish one extra arc lamp and to light the Municipal building free, in all the following propositions: Three-year-contract—s7B per lamp per year. Six-year-contract—s7s per lamp per year. • Nine-year-contract—s72 per lamp per year. If a nine-year-contract is signed by the borough the Electric Light Company will bind itself to reduce tho price of commercial lighting from 13 to 10 cents per 1.000 watts; to place a meter in the building of each patron, and to give the town a continuous all-day and all-night service. The above propositions have been placed iu the hands of the light com mittee of council and will be presented lo the latter body at its next meeting. Her Troubles Ended. Mrs. Nellie Snyder, of Drifton, died on Wednesday after an illness of a few weeks. She was tho wife of Peter Snyder, who until recently was a resi dent of that town. Her husband dis appeared a short time ago, and this blow, coming as it did after losing three children by diphtheria during the past winter, was too much for the unfortu nate woman.
