M., Principal. 1 MINERS GAIN NEW RECRUITS Imported Men Are Joining the Strikers' Ranks. Mitchell Cautions His Men to Refrain From Disorder. Scabs Hanged in Effigy. Water Caining in Mines. There is practically no change today ' in the strike situation. The miners are I continuing to deplete the collieries of . the force of engineers, firemen and pumpmen, and are obtaining some con verts from the new employes, imported to take the strikers' places. The latter acquisitions are mainly from men who have become dissatisfied with the con ' ditlons they find on arrival hero from the big cities, where they had been re cruited by the operators' agents. They say they were hired for one specific pur pose, guard duty, and they vigorously protest when asked to do anything out side the agreement into which they entered. Speaking of the general situation, Mr. Mitchell said that it is very satisfactory, and asserted that many of the non union men are brought to the coal regions under false pretences. While things are practically at a standstill today, they will not long re main in that condition. The operators ■ are continuing their efforts to secure men to take the place of the engineers, firemen and pumpmen, who have gone out, and they have announced that tiioy will keep at it until they succeed. It is estimated that fully 5,000 men will be ' required. The mines that have suffered most by the stoppage of the pumps are those of the Philadelphia and Heading, the Coxe's, the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company and individual operators. To guard against any desertions from the ranks of the employes through sua sion on the part of the union pickets the workers are being lodged and fed on the colliery premises, i Under the orders of President Mitchell the locals are making a determined ef fort to stop the small outbreaks caused by women and boys. Several locals ! have passed resolutions condemning the attacks and appoin lug committees to prevent them if possible. In several lo calities, however, presumably those in which action in the Interest of order has not yet been taken, there wore slight disturbances yesterday. today's local mews. Early risers today who had business south of town or went there for any reason were confronted by a mass of men who lined the public road from St. Ann's church to Highland. There were over 800 in the crowd and their object was to persuado all persons working for the Driftou company to remain at home. They carried on their work peaceably, despite the presence of | Superintendent Kudlich, who taunted them and endeavored to provoke a quarrel. They won their point, as every man requested to return went i home again. At a late hour last night the efllgy of a man was suspended over the trolley track on South Centre street, between the borough lino and Coxe addition. On the form were two placards, one bearing the odious inscription "Drlfton Scab" and the other "Ash-Wheolor." The effigy is still banging and was visited today by several hundred people. The sending of D. S. & S. trains filled with city hobos over the Lehigh Valley Railroad to towns on the latter line has been resented by the D. S. & S. em ployes. Several crews were treated roughly at some of the points where tiioy landed their unwelcome cargoes, and the result was that the men rebelled against continuing work which was out of their line. Lehigh Valley crews are now manning the D. S. & S. trains. The rats are leaving the local mines by the hundreds, the rising water and the scarcity of food compelling them to seek new quarters. People living near the collieries fear the rodents will take fYOUIC FAITH ours if you try : Shiloh's Qbnsumption af tl 4* /"V ours * s so Blron ff we 1 .1 J J r* guarantee a cure or refund money, and we send you free trial bottle il you write for it.

At the request of the union officers all beer agents, the brewing company and the saloon men of town have agreed to furnish no inoro free beer during the strike. At Drifton, Fl&zle Brook, Highland No. 1 and Eckley mines the water is steadily gaining and several pumps are now submerged. DEPUTY SHOOTS A HOY. The Stanton colliery, VVilkesbarre, was last night the scene of a cowardly shooting that may result in murder. John McCann, an eleven-year-old boy, was shot and probably mortally wound ed by a deputy, whoso name is being concealed for the present by the police authorities. John Hronnan, who Is McCann's senior by a couple of years, in company with Michael Lawfer, aged about 10, were walking down the public street on one side of the colliery, when they came to a place whore some of the siockade-like fence had been ripped off. They stop ped for a momont to peep through, when a deputy began tiring, one of the bullets lodging in McCann's chest, penetrating the lung. The wounded boy was taken to Mercy hospital. He is said to have a possible chance of recovery. PHILADELPHIA WANTS PEACE. Three committees of the Philadelphia Board of Trade meet today to decide what action shall be taken in an effort to have the strike of the miners settled, so tliat business Interests will return to their normal condition. It Is probable that resolutions will be passed similar in character to those adopted on Wednes day by the New York Board of Trade, which petitioned President Roosevelt to appoint a committee to investigate the causes of the strike, and then to enforce arbitration. This proposed action of the Board of Trade will in a few days be probably strengthened by similar action by the Trades League. The officers of the lat ter body during the past week have re ceived a number of communications from members asking the league to take some action in regard to the strike, as their Interests are suffering from the struggle. TOWNS WITHOUT WATER. Many towns in the coal region are without wator, as the steauj which pumps their wator to the reservoirs Is generated in breaker boiler-houses. The water famine at Nanticoke is unusually severe. The Nanticoke News has been unable to come out since Wednesday for want of water to run its press. The water famine at Upper Lehigh came to an end this morning, when the company ordered the water to bo turned into the mains again. D. 8. A 8. EMPLOYES TO MEET. A meeting of the employes of the D. S. & S. Railroad Company will bo held in the Municipal hall at 2 o'clock Sun day afternoon. All persons concerned are requested to be prosent. By order of the committee. June Weddings. Invitations have been issued for the wedding of Miss Miriam Edmunds and Charles H. Rohland, both of Drifton, whicli takes place at 8 o'clock Wednes day evening, June 18, at St. James' church, Drifton. Invitations to a re ception which follows at the home of Mrs. W. F. Hoch, Washington street, Freeland, have been sent to only rela tives and intimate friends. Invitations have been issued by Mr. and Mrs. William J. Wilde, of Hazloton, announcing the marriage of their daughter, Edith, to Jacob C. Powell. The date is June 11. Invitations are out for the wedding of Miss Nellie Duffy, of Upper Lehigh, and Noale V. Gallagher, of Audenried, at St. Ann's church, June 30. Ezra McMurtrie and Miss Elizabeth Oschinan were married last evening by Rev. J. J. Kuntz at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. John Oschman, 1 North Washington street. Noted Cases Decided. Two supreme court decisions of partic ular interest to this section have been handed down. One affirmed the deci sion of the lowor court and the other negatived. The affirmed decision was that of Patrick Doud vs. the I). S. & S. Railroad. By this decision a verdict passed by the Luzerne court granting Mr. Doud 55,000 damages is approved. Three years ago a trolley car was struck by a I) S. & S. engine at Uazioton Junc tion. Patrick Doud was among the in jured. He ha* since that time been an invalid. The second case was a vordict for $22,000 in favor of Stevenson vs. the Ebervale Coal Company. This case was against the several coal companies whose mines drain Into the valley, where the Stevenson lands arc located. The lower court gave him a favorable verdict, but the supreme court reversed the decision and ordered a re-hearing. CLOSING EXERCISES Admiral Genre* Melville Addresses the M. & M. Institute Graduates. The ninth annual closing exercises of the Mining and Mechanical Institute were held on Wednesday evening at the Grand opera house. In every respect the exercises of 1002 equalled those held In previous years, and the well-arranged program gave the largo audience present much pleasure. President A. C. Leitsen rlng, of the Institute, Introduced Chair man George D. McCreary, of Philadel phia, and the latter conducted the even ing's program in his usual genial and cheerful style. The interior of the opera house was handsomely decorated with potted plants, Hugs and bunting, and (luring the exercises St. Ann's hand rendered a number of choice selections. The Founder's Day address was de livered by Rear Admiral George Mel ville, of the United Siates navy, Wash ington, D. C. The admiral is not an orator and made no effort to pose as one. His address, however, was replete with wholesome suggestions and advice to the young mon who aro enrolled as students at the Institute. He also paid an eloquent tribute to tho memory of the founder, tho late Hon. Eckley 11. Coxe, whom, he said, lie classed among the great and noble men of his day. Prof. C. M. Crawford, principal of the day school, awarded the diplomus to tho graduatos, and Prof. E. F. Hanlon, principal of the night school, awarded the following cash prizes: Thomas Drown, Jr., S2O; Michael Kennedy, sls; James Royle, sls; Clotiis Hayes, sls; George Geoppert, $10; William Dlnn, $10; Frank Ward, S2O; Howard Boblin, SI0; Thomas Lawson, $10; Neal Royle, $10; Joseph Porter, $10; Edward Shear on, $10; Thomas Fear, $lO. The latter also received an order for a four-year course of study at Lehigh university, having been chosen by tho directors and faculty as the prize scholar of the term. Each of tho young men on the pro gram acquitted himself most creditably, and the subjects assigned them were troated in a manner which showed that they had obtained a keen insight into the topics which they spoke upon. Thomas Harcur Pardoned. The United Mine Workers have scored a signal point by securing the pardon of Thomas Harcur, of Oneida, who was convicted of complicity In the Oneida riot on October 10, 1900, and sentenced to three years imprisonment in the Pottsvfllo jail. The plea made before the Pardon Hoard was on the ground that Harcur was in no way connected with the affair which resulted in the shooting of a coal and Iron special of ficer. Harcur happened to be among the onlookers and was later picked out as one of the men who instigated an un lawful assemblage which led to the shooting. The efforts to secure the pardon had been persistent and excellently conduct ed, while tho purpose to defeat the aim of organized labor in its appeal for mercy, as made by the corporations through their attorneys, was not only determined, but bitter and vindictive. Attorney I). J. McCarthy, through whoso efforts tho pardon was secured, arrived at Pottsvillo from Ilarrisbnrg with tho necessary papers yesterday and tho prisoner was immediately re leased. He was taken to the home of his family in Oneida, and was accom panied by several of his friends and P. G. Gallagher, of town, who also took an aetivo part in securing Hareur's re lease.

TRI-WEEKLY IT HATTERS NOT How Sick You Are or How Many Physicians Have Failed to Help You. I)r. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy Will Cure You If a Cure Is Possible. Doctors are 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 solo cause of their cure was Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy. A case in point is that of James Lettuce of Canajoharie, N. Y., who writes: "Some years ago T was attacked with pains in my buck and side that were fear ful in tiie extreme. I could not control my kidneys at all and what eunio from them wus mucuousand blood. I was in a terrible state and suffered intensely. The partner of Dr. V under veer of Albany, N. Y., decided tlmt an operation was all that would save me. I dreaded that and com menced to take Dr. David Kennedy's Fa vorite Remedy. I felt bettor almost in stantly. When I had takeu about two bot tles, the How from the bladder was much olouner, the pain stopped, and I was saved from the surgeon's knife and uin now well." Dr. VV. M. Morso, the famous physi cian of Westfield, 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 diseaso, or the distressing sickness es so common tb women, can long with stand the great curative power of this famous spocilic. "A small quantity of this wonderful medicine has more curative power than barrels of other remedies," says a prominent New York physician.
