FOURTH WEEK
OF CONFLICT
All Mine Employes Have
Now Ceased Work.
Order for Engineers, Fire
men and Pumpmen to
Strike Has Been General
ly Obeyed Here.
The fourth week of the anthracite
strike began this morning. This is also
the day when the order for engineers,
firemen and pumpmen to suspend work,
unless they were granted eight hours a
day at the present pay, went into effect.
From reports at hand none of the
operators in the Lehigh region has ac
ceded to the eight-hour day for the class
of employes named.
Owing to the inability of reporters or
miners to get near the collieries it is
not known positively how many en
gineers, firemen ami pumpmen ha*e
refused to obey the strike order, but
from Information carefully gathered In
the several towns in the district it is
known that very few reported for work
today, the edict of tho union having
been obeyed generally.
At Markle & Co.'s c liberies all their
men were suspended indefinitely yester
day. The fires from under the hollers
were drawn and carpenters arc today
boarding up the boiler and enginehouses
and the windows of the breakers.
Highland collieries, which are the
only Markle mines not drainod in some
manner by Jeddo tunnel, began filling
with water last night. No effort had
been made up to noon today to relight
tho fires to remove the water.
At Coxo Bros. & Co.'s collieries tho
pumps and boilers are in charge of the
bosses. It is alleged that non-union
men were placed at some of the mines
at midnight la9t night, but the truth of
this cannot be established yet.
A special I). S. & S. was ordered out '
at 11 o'clock last night and conveyed 1
men to tho different Coxo collieries, but 1
it is said these were coal and iron police,
sent to guard the bosses who are work
ing.
DRIFTON CLERKS DISCHARGED.
Joseph McElwee, George Davis, Ben ,
Wollb and Emanuel Brior, employed as
clerks in Drifton office, were discharged
this afternoon for refusing to fire in the .
boiler bouse at Driftou.
DEPUTIES IN ITAZLKTO&.
The arrival of a large number of
deputies in Elazleton caused a lot of ex
citement in that city yesterday. The
men were quartered In the Hazletuu
House, and when it became known that
they were there hundreds of people
gathered about tho hotel to view the
officers.
The sentiment against their presence
In the city finally became so strong that
the waitresses in the hotel struck rather
than to serve the deputies their meals.
Reception to Rev. Hoboday.
Rt. Rev. Andro Hoboday, of Austria,
who has been delegated to visit tbe
Greek Catholic churches of the United
Stales, arrived here on his tour of in
spection on Saturday evening and was
given an imposing reception by the
congregation of St. Mary's church.
The distinguished visitor reached town
on tho'J.ls trolley car and was met by
tho members of the Greek Catholic
societies connected with St. Mary's
church.
Headed by St. Ann's band the proces
sion, led by the burgess and police force
on horses, marched from the trolley
terminal to the church. Over 1,200 men
and girls were in line, and with beauti
ful banners and handsome flags of the
societies they presented an inspiring
sight to the thousands who lined the
sidewalks.
The carriage in which Rev. Hodobay
rode was drawn by four white horses.
Tbe Greek church was prettily decorat
ed inside and outside, and the services
yesterday were largely attended.
Illegal Fishers Caught.
David Morgan, of Georgetown, and
John Hertzor and Denis Boyle, of Han
over township, near Wilkesbarre, wero
arrested by Fish Warden Hugh Mailoy
Friday night and next morning were
sentenced to three months in jail and to
pay a fine of §IOO.
Mr. Mailoy was notified Friday after
i noon that a party of three were engaged
I in seine fishing in the Lehigh river near
i White Haven. Ho boarded the first
train from town in that direction, and
upon his arrival at White Haven so- j
| cured the services of two old fishermen
to pilot hlui to where the Illegal fishers
FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, JUNE 2, 1902.
were operating.
About five miles up tho river he came
upon the three men. Morgan and Ilert
zor were in the water with tho seine,
while Boyle was tending a fire on the
Carbon county bank. The warden
watched thorn awhile and after satis
fying himself that the law was being
violated he placed tho three men under
arrest.
They were taken to White Haven and
next morning wore given a hearing
before Squire Best, of East Haven, who
imposed the sentence stated in the act
for this offense.
The prisoners were immediately taken
to Maucb Chunk and placed in Carbon
county jail. Friends of Boyle have en
gaged counsel and are making an effort
to secure his release on the ground that
he was not actually engaged In violating
the law.
The determined stand taken by the
fish warden has reduced illegal fishing
to a minimum this year.

IT MATTERS NOT
How Sick You Are or How
Many Physicians Have
Failed to Help You.
Dr. David Kennedy'** Favorite Remedy
Will Cure You If a Cure In Possible.
Doctors .arc not Infallible and there
are many Instances where they have
decided a case was hopeless and then
the patients astonished everyone by get
ting well and the sole cause of their
cure was I)r. David Kennedy's Favorite
Remedy. A case In point is that of
James Lettuce of Canajoharie, N. V.,
who writes:
"Some yours ago I was attacked with
pains in my back and side that were fear
ful in the extreme. 1 could not control
my kidneys at ull and what came from
them was mucuous and blood. I was iu a
terrible state and sull'ered intensely. The
partner of Dr. V under veer of Albany, N.
Y.. decided that an operation was ull that
would save me. I dreaded that and com
menced to take Dr. Duvid Kennedy's Fa
vorite Remedy. I felt better almost in
stantly. When I hud taken about two bot
tles, the How from the bladder was much
cleaner, the pain stopped, and I was saved
from the surgeon's kuife and urn now
well."
Dr. W. 11. Morse, the famous physi
cian of Westiield, N. J., has this to say
of this great medicine:
"I have known it to cure chronic in
flammation of the kidneys, where the
attending physician pronounced the case
incurable."
No form of kidney, liver, bladder or
blood disease, or the distressing sickness
es so common to women, can long with
stand the great curative power of this
famous specific. "A small (juantity of
this wonderful medicine has more
curative power than barrels of other
remedies," says a prominent New York
physician. Its record of cures has
made it famous in medical circles every
where.
