Reports That the Colliery Would Resume Drew a Large Crowd and a Guard Is Roughly Handled. For nearly a week past It has boon heralded through the region that No. 40 colliery, at Hazleton, would resume operations this morning. It was as serted by agents of the company that a large force of men had been gathered Inside the stockado during the past few weeks, that a considerable amount of coal had been mined and that this coal would bo hoisted and prepared for mar kot this week, commencing today. At an early hour this morning tho ' striking employes of tho colliery began congregating near tho stockade, and at I 0.30 o'clock every road leading to tho mine was filled with hundreds of pickets. It is estimated that fully 3,000 men were | on the scone at 7 o'clock. At the latter hour William Scheuch a young man, made an attempt to break through the strikers' ranks and reach No. 40. Friends tried to induce him lo roturn homo and help them win the strike, but he porslsted in his efforts to gain tho protection of tho special police inside the colliery fence. Ills father, August Scheuch, is a special officer at No. 40 colliery. lie saw the position of his son and rushed to aid him. A dispute arose, no one knows just how or who is to blame, but In a short while Scheuch, Sr., was at tacked. During the melee tho young man escaped without injury, but his father was stabbed three times with a pen knife, received several kicks and was struck on the head by a stone. Ho was taken to the Miners' hospital, where tho wounds were found to bo very slight. The incident created created tromen dous excitement for awhilo and many alarming rumors wero sent out regard ing tho affair. Those who expected to see the com pany make good their predictions to resume operations and prepare coal for market were disappointed. No effort was made to work the mine, nor was resumption attempted at any other colliery In this region. CONCESSIONS AGREED UPON. Today began tho sixteenth week of t|}o great strike and the coutonding forcos still face each other with deter mination. On the part of the strikers the feoling that they will win has in fused now hope in their ranks and it can bo truthfully said that they are as strong in spirit today as at any time since tho contest began. With their-opponents, tho operators, there is on tho surface nothing visible but that same persistence which has marked their domeanor sluce tho strike was inaugurated. A change in tone in tholr talk has, however, taken place, and for nearly a week the public has not been regaled with a bombastic in terview from their mouth-piece, Presi dent Bacr, of the Reading Company. The daily ultimatum of the coal presi dents that only an unconditional sur render on the part of the miners will end the strike is no longer read in the metropolitan press. Truesdalo, Fowler and Haer, the trio who went out of their way dally to Impress the operators' posi tion on reporters, have had nothing to say lately, and their organs In the large cities have taken the cue and are also veering around from their former posi tion. Tho avowed intention of those to whom the management of tho strike was intrusted by the operators was to break the union before work would bo resumed. Tho time asked by them and given to them to accomplish this is about to expire and the much-desired result, from a Baer's point of view, has not been attained nor can tho general body of operators see any symptoms of a breaking up. The Individual operators and the smaller coal roads have found out at a heavy cost that Mr. Baer does not pos sess tho ability to perforin all that he promised and discord has followed this discovery. The operators have learned that Baer's uncompromising attitude has steadily strengthened tho workers, and that ills ultimatums and manifes toes have done nothing more serious than to amuse the strikers. Such is the condition of affairs In the ranks of the operators and the Tribune is speaking authorltlvely when it says so. President Baer is on the verge of being deposed as leader of the operators FKEELAND, PA., MONDAY, AUGUST 25, 1902. and unless a truce is delared by the warring elements of the coal combine within a few days he will be ousted from this position. Self-interest has held the operators, large and small, together so far. This same self-Interest has gone Its limit and nothing has been gained, and tho pow erful Influences behind Mr. Baer realize that the combination Is about to dis solve unless satisfactory results appear without further delay. These results cannot bo accomplished within the time given, unless tho mine workers bodily desert the union and belle their present attitude by returning to work or show unraistakon signs of weakening. That the mine workers are not likely to do either is accepted by those for whom Baer, Truesdale and Fowler act as figure-heads, and, to save the com bination from inevitable dissolution and unending warfare among coal producers, concessions have been agreed upon which will undoubtedly meet with ac ceptance at the hands of the strikers. These concessions have not been made public and are known to but tho very few who have been Interested lu ar ranging them. llow stiou or how long it will be until they are made known depends upon the attitude maintained by the miners and smaller operators, who, at tho present day, are lighting a common enemy. All that the Tribune knows Is that they will be announced as soon as a dignified down-coming from his pedestal can be arranged for Mr. Baer. STATEMENT FOR SENATORS. A committee from tho Public Allianco of VVllkosbarre waited on President Mit chell yosterday afternoon and told him of their visit to Atlantic City last week to see Senators Quay and Penrose in the Interest of a settlement of tho miners' strike by arbitration. Mr. Mitchell was Interested in what the committee told him and inquired as to what position the two senators intond to take in the mat tor. Tho committee roplied that before tho senators make a move they want a statement from Mr. Mitchell, giving the minors' side of tho case. Tho chief oflicor of the union said ho would pre pare such a statement it once and for ward it to Senators Quay and Peurose. Death of Aged Woman. Mrs. Margaret Keller died yesterday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Wil liam Stultz, on the Hill, aged 80 years. For some years past she had been help less and hor death came as a relief after much suiTering. More than half a cen tury ago she took up hor residence at Eckley. Some years later she removed to Highland and when the Stultz family came to Freeland she accompauied them. Mrs. Keller Is survived by two sons, Peter, Highland, and Christian, St. Clair, Schuylkill county, and by two daughters, Mrs. William Stultz, Free land, and Mrs. David Cobb, Texas. The funeral will take place at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. Services will be conducted at St. Johu's Reform ed church by Rev. J. B. Kerschner. Interment at Freeland cemetery. Patrick McGuire Arrested. Patrick Mctiulro, Jr., was arrested at 3 o'clock yesterday morning at his home in Upper Lehigh. Ho is charged with being implicated in the atFair at the HofTman and Betterly homes In that town some months ago. The arrest was made by Coal and Iron Policeman Hampton and Constables Ziegler, of Hazleton, and Woodrlng, of West Hazleton. As soon as the arrest was made McGuire and tho oflicors were driven to Hazleton, where tho prisoner was placed in tho city lockup. McGuire was given a hearing before Alderman Hoidenrich this afternoon. He was placed under $1,500 bail on the charge of riot and SI,OOO on tho charge of burglary. Bail was furnished by Denis Boyle, Hazleton. Still Another Party. Tho county committee of the VVork inginen's party on Saturday decided to place in tho field only candidates for congress and statu legislature and none for county offices. There was much dis cussion over the advisability of leaving off the county officers. It was finally decided on as giving bettor opportunities to elect legislators. A convention date for each district will be fixed today. Tho Workingmen's party is a separate organization from the Socialists, and if their announced intention to nominate legislative candidates is carried out there will be four candidates for state representative in the Fourth district.

This case is but one of thousands where the head of the house was re fused insurance, because ho had kidney trouble. Mr. Yeisley had givon up in despair when some friend recommended Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Itoinedy and it cured him. Mr. Yeisley writes: "My kidneys and liver were in bad condition and I was anxious for re lief. I had tried many remedies without success and when I bought a bottle of 'Favorite Remedy,'it was with but little faith in Its ever help ing me, but in a short time it effec tively proved its merit. Perhaps the best proof I can give that it has completely cured mo is to state that I have since been accepted by four different life insurance companies." The Rev. Mr. Yeisley is the pastor of the First Reformed church, of St. Paris, Ohio, and is as well the editor of the St. Paris Dispatch. There is no question that Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy is the best and surest medicine In the world for dis eases of the kidneys, liver, bladder, avd blood, rheumatism, dyspepsia and chronic constipation, as well as the weaknesses peculiar to women.
