Laid deep in a nowly-mado grave, ac cording to an old Russian custom, a child which had apparently been killed by lightning was revived and its life saved. The victim is the four-year-old son of John Iludock, of Glen Lyon, near Nanticoke, when lightning struck the house and wont down the chimney, strik ing tho child, which was badly burned and shocked into unconsciousness. The neighbors were aroused. Soveral men quickly dug a grave two feet deep, in which tho naked body of tho child was placed and closely packed in the earth with the exception of its mouth and nostrils. There It remained until Dr. E. M. Davis arrived. The child was then regaining con sciousness, to the delight of the Rus sians, who wore praying about tho grave. The physician dressed the burns of the child and sent it to the hospital, where the physicians say it will recov er. The Russians claim tho contact with tho earth draws tho electricity from tho body. Valuation of Freeland. The taxable valuation of tho borough this year, as shown by tho returns of the assessors to tho county commission ers at Wilkesbarro, Is $264,832, an in crease of $2,074 over last year's valua tion. The number of taxables and the valuation of each ward is given below: First ward 266... .$49,411 Second ward 301.... 40,201 Third ward 233 20,795 Fourth ward 339.... 53,196 Fifth ward 396... 56,217 Sixth ward 273 39,012 Total 1808 264,832 A partial investigation of one ward's figures shows wilful carelessness or llagrant discrimination in tho assess ment rates. Lots situate side by pide vary considerably in value on the books, while other lots located in tho same block are valued at only one-half the rate fixed for tho street. The inequalities of property valua tions are oven still more glaring. Two Italians were struck by a Dela ware, Lackawanna and Western train uear Nanticoke and were hurled high in tho air.

Federation Will Knl*e Over Million a Week for the Strikers. Tho readiness of other branches of organized labor to contribute to tho support of tho mine workers was shown in an offer brought to Wllkosbarre yes terday by Henry White, president of tho Garment Cutters' Union, of New York, and also a member of the National Civic Federation. For three hours Mr. White was in conferenco with President Mitchell and District Presidents Duffy and Fahey and to those three ho ex plained every detail of his plans to raise an immense fund. Mr. White says that his plan has been sanctioned by President Samuel Goinpers, of tho American Federation of Labor, and that it is practically tho offer of all organized trade to come to the rescue. Mr. White said that if tho million or more members of organized labor bodies are asked to contribute only 10 cents apiece a week a fund of over 81,000,000, fully ample to meet all requirements, would be secured. He likewise said that there aro many wealthy men who aro in sympathy with the minors and who will contribute liberally, but lie declined to mention any names. CIVIC FEDERATION WORKING. It further transpired that the Civic Federation, of whoso committee on con ciliation both Mr. Mitchell aud Mr. White aro members, have not abandon ed their efforts on bohalf of the minors, and thatmndor direction of tho organiz ation, an investigation was begun aud is still being directed by Walter E. Weyi, of tho Govermout Department of Labor, and Professor John R. Commons. Its purport is especially to determine tho cost of labor In mining coal, and wheth er or not tho increase in wages granted the miner after the strike of 1900 has kept paco with the increase in cost of the necessities of life. What disposition will bo made of tho facts obtained, Mr. White could not say, but they will be placed before the Fed eration and if they corroborate the state ments of President Mitchell along these lines, inay prove a valuable factor in forcing a settlement. Mr. Mitchell returned from New York witli nothing to say regarding the cause of liis sudden trip or its outcomo except to reiterate what ho said while away, that he visited the metropolis merely to confer with his old boyiiood friend, 11. M. Taylor, of Illinois, and to soo some folks off on a European trip. He denies that his mysterious foreign voyager was an emissary sent abroad to confer with J. Piorpont Morgan, and ho likewise denies the story that has become current that he went to make a last effort to socure tho consent of the operators to arbitration. EXPECTS A PROPOSITION. Tho Philadelphia Press, tho recog nized mouthpiece of tho operators in tliis state, says on this subject today: "Thoso who aro most closely identified with tho interests of the oporators put a somewhat different construction on tho Hying trip of tho mine workers' chief. Thoy say that through Mr. Taylor, who is one of tho largest soft coal operators in tho West, President Mitchell oxpocts to have placed before the big anthracite operators a proposi tion concerning the minimum of miners' demand which will pormit of an almost immodiato settlement of tho strike. While the operators give no authority for tho statement they Insist that Mr. Mitchell's visit was absolutely devoid of results." MISCELLANEOUS NOTES. J. J. Hudock, Stephen Drostick and Edward Malloy, of Sheppton, who were charged by Arthur Donohue, an employe of Coxe Pros. & Co., before Alderman J. H.
