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

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

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

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.

Ann's convent school yesterday received

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. Its record of cures has
made it famous in medical circles every
where.
