Majority of the Local Unions Favor Distribution by the Store Order System—Fifty Men Arrested, One Held. The United Mine Workers' district officers spent yesterday at Wilkesbarre In apportioning iho strike fund for dis tribution to the different locals, while groups of the locals held meetings to decide upon plans for giving it to the men. Until the full amount of the weekly fund shall bo received the amount sent Is to bo used in aiding only the most needy cases. It will take a little time to complete all the arrangements for collecting, re mitting and distributing the fund, for a largo amount of work is involved. When the full amount is roceived, and the strikers' leaders cannot say just when this will be, the task of distribut ing it and providing for the strikors will be easier. The system of distribution most fa vored is the Issuing of store orders. This would enable the men to patronize whom they like, and the merchants who have given them credit will bo given their trade. It is denied at strike headquarters that there Is any dissatisfaction among the strikors as to the manner in which the relief fund shall bo distributed. Operators, however, believe that the distribution of rolief funds will cause so much dissatisfaction that there will be trouble in the strikers' camp. KXCITKMKNT NEAR HANSFORD. About fifty men on Saturday evening captured William Kaglo, a brakcman, at Hauto, near Lansford, and made an attempt to march him to Mauch Chunk. Twenty armed deputies were sent out to intercept them, and encountered the marchers. They surrounded them and at the points of their guns compelled thorn to board a train bound for Lansford. Thoro the prisoners woro marched to the borough lockup. At 7 o'clock the men wero taken from the jail, and, surrounded by deputies, the march to the office of a justice of the peace was taken up. When the principal part of the town was reached the men, oncouraged by the shouts of their friends, made a dash for liborty. When they did so the crowd pressed in, and as a result all but seventeen escaped. Of the seventeen men who failed to escape from the deputies and woro given a hearing, only one was held un der bail, the balance claiming that they had not participated in the march, but wero merely spectators. There being no evidence against them they wero dis charged. TEST OF STRENGTH COMING. Mine workers' officers believe the actual crisis in the strike will come within the next two weeks. The oper ators so far have had the advantage, they say, in that their product has been on the market all the time. The real tost of the strongth of the oporators will come when the supply of coal In the market shall be exhausted. This situa tion promises to develop within a very few days. The shipments of coal from tbo an thracito field, as shown by statistics of the trade, are 11,000,000 tons short of last year. A shortage existed in the market boforo the strike began, and with shipments cut off absolutely, tho supply on hand practically has been ex hausted. This will test the real unity of tho operators, it is thought. Whother they will be able to resist tho demands from manufacturers and the public generally is the question. MISCELLANEOUS NOTES. It having boon reported that a house occupied by an employe of tho Susque hanna Coal Company at Nanticoke had all tho window broken In it by strikers, a committee from tho miners' union vis ited Nanticoke yesterday to Investigate. They reported that two panes of glass were broken and that a twelve-year-old boy, who had a quarreled with another lad, hurled tho stones and they went through the windows. President Mitchell says at the begin ning of the eleventh week of the strike there is no change in the situation. Tho strikers are as firm as ever and tho coal companies are as powerless to oper ate their mlnos as ever. The People's Coal Company has noti fied its striking miners at Scrantou that 'REELAND, PA., MONDAY, J ULY 28, 1902. It purposes to begin work at the Oxford colliery wilbin tho next two weeks.

Brewery License Revoked, A technical violation of a license held by the Stegmaier Browing Company, of Wilkesbarre, has led to a revocation of that coinpauy's license In Bradford county. Tho company has been in the habit of shipping quantities of beer to Sayre in barrels or bottles for various customers iu that town censigned to a driver, W. W. Vaughn. These woro not, however, marked In tho brewery for these customers but woro distributed by Vaughn according to instructions received by him. The orders were taken in March, 1901, and were for a fixed definite amount weekly but the point was that the customer wore not compelled to take this amount and the orders wero considered a matter of form. This in the vlow of Judge Fanning conslltuod a technical violation of the license laws of tho commonwealth and he accordingly revoked the wholesale license already granted. The complaint was made by a bottler In Sayre whose business he considered was being Inter fered with. Tho case is to be appealed. Joy Causes Insanity. Andrew Molchen, of Penn Haven, came to Freeland yesterday to partici pate in the wedding of his brother, John, who was married this morning at St. John's Slavonian church. Early In the evening ho exhibited signs of mental derangement and a short time later ran excitedly from his brother's homo. Ho was followed by friends, who captured him near St. Ann's church, but he broke away from his captors and ro surnod his race through the woods. Tho search for the man was con tinued through the night and he was found at 3 o'clock this morning. lie was brought back to town and remained quietly for some time. Later, his guatds becoming negligent, he again escaped and Is still missing. Melchen was overjoyed at tho pros pect of his brother's marriage and his friends fear that this is the cause of his affliction. The search for tho missing man Is still going on and as soon as ho is recaptured ho will be placed under treatment. Stolen Cash Returned, Itov. Dr. J. W. Gilland, pastor of tho First Presbyterian church, Shamokin, has received an anonymous eommuiuica tlon signed "Conscience," In which wore enclosed four crisp SSO notes.

A motion by Hlncer and Doggett to take up the contract of the Freeland Eloctrlc Light Company was tho means of stirring up another lengthy discus sion.

Gallagher, McNeils, Sweet, 4. Against—Crawford, Doggett, Hlncer, McLaughlin, Ward, Moerschbacher, G. A motion by P. G. Gallagher and McNolis prevailed that tho light com mittoo secure prices, conditions and any other Information they can and roport to council, with a recommendation of what is best to adopt, at the regular meeting In August. Messrs. Hlncer, McLaughlin and Ward voted against the motion and the other seven mem bers favored It.
