Substance of Governor's
Answer to Sheriff.
Chief Officer of Carbon
County Makes Application
for the Militia and Is Refus
ed by the State's Executive.
Sheriff J. 11. Gombort, of Carbon
county, yosterday applied to Governor
Stone for troops to suppress disorders in
the mining regions of that county.
Governor Stone replied as follows:
"Your telegram of today stating that
strikers are gathering in largo mobs at
Lansford and Summit Hill, in this
county, and citizens are attacked and
beaten and In danger of their lives and
that you find that you are unable to pre
serve order and protect the eitlzens and
therefore must call on me for troops re
ceived. The law under which the Na
tional Guard Is called out does not justi
fy action under the circumstances and
conditions which you recite. The Na
tional Guard are not police officers.
These conditions are entirely within
your own province and with tho aid at
your hand you ought to overcome tho
difficulty without the use of state troops.
"If there is a condition of riot, mob
or insurrection which tho civil authori
ties are unable to suppress the governor
will not hesitate to send troops, but
under no circumstances will he do so
unless tho civil authority is exhausted
after reasonable effort on the part of
tho sheriff and the protection of life
and property demands it."
Representing a committee of Carbon
county citizens, George M. Davis, T. M.
Whildin and John E. Lauer, of Lans
ford, called upon the governor yestorday
afternoon and explained the situation
at Lansford and Summit Hill. The
visitors said that the burgesses of these
boroughs and the sheriff iiad exhausted
their powors in trying to preserve order
and that mob rule prevailed in both
towns.
The visitors also stated that tho
trouble was daily becoming worse and
that It was a question of only a short
time when it would bo necessary to send
troops Into tho county to preserve order
and protect property.
The governor promised to keep in
touch with the situation and explained
that if he realized that the presence of
troops was necessary to maintain order
ho would not hesitato to order out tho
militia.
NO STRIKE OK SOFT COAL MINERS.
It has developed that tho presidents
of tho coal-carrying companies are very
much worried over the national conven
tion of miners, which will bo hold in
Indianapolis on July 17. The operators
would much profer that the convention
would order a strike of the 300,000 soft
coal miners than do what it is said John
Mitchell proposes to bring about when
tho convention is held.
According to the reports it is boliovod
that Mitchell will do everything in his
power to prevent tho calling out of the
soft coal men, but instead will endeavor
to bring about the addition of a resolu
tion taxing each of the 300,000 soft coal

President Mitchell received a telegram
last night from I)eni9 A. Haye9, presi
dent of tho Glass Bottle Blowors' Asso
ciation, announcing that his organiza

donatod $5,000 to tho striking minors.
MITCIIKLL GOING WESTWARD.
President Mitchell's plan 9 are to leave
VVllkesbarre on Saturday for the West
and spend Sunday in Chicago. On Mon
day he will address a meeting of the
longshoremen of Michigan, who handle
much of the coal shipped by the lakes,
and whose aid in the event of a national
minors' strike would bo of much benefit.
On Tuesday ho will go to ludianapolis to

The four coal guards, Thomas

mion and John Narr, of Philadelphia,
who have boon in jail since June 5 on
the charge of shooting Charles McCann
at tho Stanton colliery, were released
from Wilkesbarre jail yosterday on
$2,500 bail each. The boy Is out of
danger and rapidly recovering.
NO MORE GUARDS NEEDED.
Today's Philadelphia Press says:
"Firemen and engineers are In de
mand throughout the anthracite region,
but no more men are needed there for
police duty about tho mines. Orders to
this effect were received yesterday at
several of tho agenclos in this city,
which have been sending on amateur
policemen. Only skilled firemen and
otiglneers are wanted now.
"Twenty-five men returned yo9torday
from tho vicinity of Hazleton, where
they had been protecting tho property
of tho operators. They reported that
they had been discharged, as It was
found that their services were no longer
needed as policemen, and they refused
to work as firemen."
Socialists Hold Rally.
A mass meeting held yesterday after
noon at Kroll's hall, under the auspices
of the Socialist party, was well attended
by striking miners and people of town.
Tho principal speaker was John Collins,
of Chicago, who has boon at work for a
week past in this region organizing
clubs of tho party. Mr. Collins aroused
considerable enthusiasm by his presen
tation of the wrongs endured by tho
working people and apparently made
many converts to socialism.
An address In the Slavonian language
was dollvored by Andrew Matti, of
Stockton, vice president of District 7,
U. M. W., and one in Italian by Organi
zer DiScinni.
Charles Jacquot, president of tho Cen

. Held On to the Snake.
Miss Helen Luknns, a young resident
of Mt. Csrmol, wont out with a party of
six on the mountain yesterday afternoon
to gather borrios. While sbo was lean
log over a bush, shif unconsciously
grabbod a largo rattlosnake. She was
paralyzed with fright, aod could not
loosen her hold on tho reptile.
Her screams attracted tho attention
of John Southwood, a member of the
party, who reached her side just as tho
rattler was about to strike its fangs Into
her flesh. Grabbing tho snake by the
back of tho neck, and forcing it upon a
stone, he crushed its bead with his foot
Into a shapeless mass. Tho young
woman fainted from fright. The snako
had eight rattles.
Over 300 Miners Perish.
About 300 minors aro bolievod to have
lost their lives yesterday by an explo
sion of fire damp in a mine of the Cam
bria Stool Company at Johnstown. Six
hundred mon wore at work in the mine
when the explosion occurred. Not more
than 300 of these reached the surface in
safety, and there is little hope than any
of the others will survive. A party of
mon attempted to reacli the the entomb
ed miners immediately after tho disaster
occurred, but they wero overcome by
gases and several of them perished.
Thereafter systematic efforts wore made
to enter tho mine, but it is believed the
bodies cannot be reached until this
evening.

Mine Bureau's Annual Report.
Tho report of James E. Roderick, of
Hazleton, chief of the State Bureau of
Mines uud Mining, for 1901 has been
made public. It says tho occupation of
the miner and his laborer is "extra
hazardous," consequently they should
be especially well paid for their labor
ious and dangerous calling.
Tho past year was the most prosper
ous for all concerned in the mining of
coal of any year for tho la9t quarter of
a century. The coal, tho report says,
was in great demand and brought a fair
price, which enabled tho operators to
pay their employes fair wages and' to
give them more steady ouipioyment
than was the case for a number of years.
In tho opinion of Mr. Roderick the
dally production of anthracite has
reached its maximum.
The production of anthracite coal was
59,905,951 tons, an Increase of 8,G88,G33
over 1900. The bituminous mines pro
duced 80,914,230 tons, an increase of
1,595,874. Tho average number of days
worked in tho anthracite fields was
194.5, an Increase of 23.5 over tho pre
vious year. Tho bituminous mines
worked an average of 210.25 days, a
docreaso of 2.75 days.
In tho production of anthracite, 513
persons lost their lives, an increase of
108. There were 301 fatalities in the
bituminous mines, an increase of 39.
Tho number of employes in and about
the anthracite mines is 147,051, and in
the bituminous mines 117,602.
Mr. Roderick suggosts that souiothlng
bo done to relievo tho distress resulting
annually in tho coal fields by reason of
the large number of fatalities, leaving
many families destitute. He expresses
himself as greatly impressed with tho
need of au institution whoro the young
men crippled in tho mines can bo
educated and trained in suitable oc
cupations that will enable them to earn
a respectable living.

TRI-WEEKLY
PAIN IN THE BACK
A Sure Sign of Kidney
Trouble—Dr David Ken
nedy's Favorite Rem
edy Will Cure You.
Pain in the back is a never failing sign
of kidney disease, another sure sign is
the condition of the urine; if you have a
pain in the back then look to the condi
tion of your urine. Take a glass tum
bler and fill it with urine; after it has
stood 24 hours, if it has has a sediment,
if it Is milky or cloudy, pale or disclor
od, stringy or ropy, your kidney and
bladder aro in a dangerous condition
and need immediate attention, or the
consequences may prove fatal.
F. C. Wilcox of 55b New IJritain avo.,
Ilartford, Conn., says:
"1 had a frightful pain in my back,
tho result of kidney trouble. My
physician seemed powerless to re
lievo me. I determined to try Dr.
David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy;
it helped mo wonderfully, and in a
short time cured me completely."
Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy
Is tho one medicine that really cures all
diseases or the kidneys, liver, bladder
and blood, rheumatism, dyspepsia and
chronic constipation and corrects the
bad effects of whiskey and beer on the
system. It is wonderful how it makes
that pain in tho back disappear, how it
relieves tho desire to urinate often, es
pecially at night, and drives away that
scalding pain in passing water and in
a remarkably short time makes you well
aud strong.
