LAST STAND
OF OPERATORS
Final Effort to Break Strike
Is Now Being Made.
Railroad Presidents Have
Only a Few More Days to
Fulfill Their Promises to
Compel Men to Surrender.
Tho presidents of the coal-carrying
railroads yesterday held their weekly
mooting In New York city, and through
their press bureaus they aro claiming a
complete victory over their striking
employes. They have given out a state
ment that there will be no arbitration
and that J. Pierpont Morgan will not
interfere. They also allege that miners
are applying dally for their former posi
tions. This is the sum and substance
of the last bluff of B&er and his col
leagues and foreshadows that they are
nearing the day when the strikers will
be offered satisfactory terms to resume
work.
Tho meeting was conspicuous by the
absence of one-half of the railroad presi
dents and the representatives of the in
dividual operators. President B&er, of
the Reading; President Fowler, of the
New York, Ontario and Western; Presi
dent Uuderwood, of tho Erie, and Presi
dent Truosdale, of tho Delaware, Lack
awanna and Western, were tho only
men who went Into the secret confer
ence.
There was a change in the meeting
place and Instead of tho Contral Rail
road Company of New Jersey offices a
meeting was held at Delmonico's cafe
and tho situation was thoroughly dis
cussed. It was given out that the re
ports received wore of a more optimistic
character, and notwithstanding the let
ters the coal officials are receiving it
was decided to continue tho fight on the
same plan as has been in force since
the trouble began.
Previous to the meeting President
Baer called on J. P. Morgan and had a
long conference with him. After leav
ing him Baer went away for an hour
and then returned and hold a second
short conforenco with the financial king.
Mr. Morgan refused to state what oc
curred, but it is alleged that he ap
proved tho manner in which the rail
road officials have conducted the strike
and assured the officers that they had
his hearty co-operation.
The meeting of tho coal officials was
not a lengthy one. No one was present
excepting those whose "no surrender"
policy has been tried, consequently har
mony reigned throughout the session.
By 3 o'clock it was over and tho various
officers had returned to thoir offices.
President Baer, as spokesman, said:
"There is no change In the situation
and we aro going ahead as we have been
for the last three months, it is improv
ing every day; more men aro coming
back daily. I cannot say exactly when
there will bo a break in tho strike.
There is no change in tho policy of tho
operators. The issues do not admit of
arbitration and arbitration, therefore,
no matter from what source it emanates,
cannot bo considered. Nothing has oc
curred or can occur which will change
the policy of tho operators. We are
simply waiting until the miners come
back."
A significant fact yesterday was that
every effort of the reporters to procure
from Mr. Morgan a statement that he
would not interfere In the strike result
ed in failure. George W. Perkins, of
the firm of Morgan & Co., who was
present at the conferences between
Haer and Morgan, also refused to deny
that a settlement is soon probable.
MUST RESUME THIS WEEK.
To carry out the promises of Presi
dent Uar a desperate attempt is to be
made to resume work by the Reading
Company at Shenandoah. Everything
is in readiness fur the test of strength
that will come within a day cr two when
the attempt to resume work is made.
More men are said to bo behind the
stockades than at any time since the
strike began, and the guards at all the
workings have been increased. The
POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENT.

strikers are prepared to defend tho
mines with pickets and tho soldiers now
encamped there are in shape to bo
transported and effectively reruoblllzed.
Loaders of tho mino workers aro mak
ing bitter complaint against what they
term the partisan attitude of the militia
officers in command at headquarters.
Miles Doughterty, member of the na
tional executive board, said: "General
Gobin and many of the other officers
openly take sides against us. The
soldiers, if wo read tho law right, aro
supposed to bo absolutely neutral in this
matter. Their sole concern is to pre
serve the peace, not to orate against the
miners. From what I have heard I
would infer that many of thoso fellows
are Itching for an opportunity to shoot
at human targets."
Several reports of trouble were made
to headquarters by operators, but in
every instance the civil authorities said
they had mastered the situation. It has
been decided that the Ninth regiment
will be next called upon iu the event of
further disturbance.
CONFERENCE OF UNION LEADERS.
A conference evidently of great im
portance, was held yesterday at Wilkes
barro by President Mitchell with District
Presidents Fahey and Nichols and last
night District President Duffy arrived at
headquarters. It is understood the
conference will be continued today.
Neither President Mitchell nor any of
the district presidents will say what tho
conference was about and this, in view
of tho fact that Wall street yesterday
sent out a report that tho operators are
weakening, has caused the belief that
it pertains to an important question in
the strike.
"I have nothing say about what was
done," said President Mitchell; "it was
just a regular meeting." But tho fact
that it lasted from early afternoon till
7 o'clock last evening and that tho strike
is at such a crucial point makes it evident
that it was a mooting out of tho or
dinary.
President Mltcholl would not say that
he had received no word from tho oper
ators. Yesterday afternoon there came
to town a man who registered as Charles
S. Vossoy, but who or what he is It was
impossible to ascertain, lie had a con
ference with Mitchell and all Mitchell
will say of it Is: "It was nothing about
the strike." lie left since for Now
York.
WALL STREET HEARS SOMETHING.
The Now Y'ork financial correspond
ent of tho Philadelphia Record, a writer
who has been vory bitter against the
strikers for many weeks past, says in
bis letter today:
"It is not improbable that Baltimore
& Ohio will be the holding company for
Reading, and in these circumstances
there was more strength and activity in
the latter stock than for some time past.
The simultaneous strength in the other
anthracite coalers was probably tho
outcome of some very definite rumors of
a disposition among the coal operators
to settle the strike on a basis of moder
ate concessions to the men. There is
some reason to believe that the biggest
buH influence in tho street will strongly
favor such a course."
BELIEF FUND IN GOOD SUAFK.
Representatives of the Philadelphia
Itdcord find that "tho ranks of the
United Mine Workors remain unbroken,
and that the strikers are hotter fortified
at present than ever. The treasury of
tho relief fund is in better shape and
arrangements are made for contribu
tions to it until the strike is over, suf
ficient to warrant the assurance that
not a striker or his family will want, if
the strike continues until next summer.
One thing is certain, tho men stand firm
in their demand, and if the operators
are getting reports that tho men are
weakening they aro being misled."
Lecture on Friday Evening.
Emmet D. Nichols, Esq., of Wilkos
barre, will deliver a lecture in the
English Baptist church at 7.30 o'clock
Friday evening. Mr. Nichols is an
orator of recognized ability and many
Freeland people have already had the
pleasure of hearing him speak. His
subject on Friday evening will be:
"The Evil Effects of the Growth of
Largo Cities or the Liquor Traffic lu a
New Light."
It is needloss to state that the spoakor
will handle his subject iu an interesting
aud entertaining style.
The Weasel Escaped.
(Janio Warden Hugh Malloy caught a
weasel yesterday In one of tho traps
which ho has set near No. 11, Sandy
Run. The animal was brought to his
home on North Centre street last even
ing and a large crowd of people gather
ed to 900 it killed by one of Mr. Malloy's
famous dogs. As soon as tho trap was
oponed tho weasel darted into tho crowd
and caused a stampede, which hindered
the dog from doing his work. In the
excitement the weasel escaped and has
not yet been recaptured.
POLITICAL.
The county committee of tho Work
ingmen's Alliance held an important
meeting at Wilkosbarro Monday. Thore
was & full attendance of the committee
men. As a result of this meeting it is
almost a certainty that no candidates
for county offices will be nominated, but
candidates for the legislature in each
of the six districts of the county will be
named.
At tho next genoral meeting of the
alliance tho names of the candidates
selected to run iu each of the districts
will be submitted for endorsement. The
meeting will be held this evening at 8
o'clock.
It is understood that every election
district in the county will bo thoroughly
organized and it is expected that every
district will be represented at tho meet
ing this evening.

Democratic nomination for county com

yesterday. Mr. Walsh is a resident of

years ago and whore ho met with an

office if placod thore.
X X X
Griff Jonos, one of Upper Lehigh's
staunchest union men, is being urged by
ids friends to become a candidato for
stato representative from tho Fourth
district. They desire him to run on the
ticket of the Workingrnon's party, which
intends to nominate legislative candi
dates in each of the six districts In this
county. Mr. Jones has tho matter
under consideration and will likely
accept the nomination, if assurance is
received that tho uniou workingmen of
tho district will support him.
Tendered a Euchre.
In honor of Misses Mary Martin and
Phoebe M. Riley, of Hazlcton, a euchre
party was given at tho homo of Miss
Alice Riley In Upper Lehigh Monday
evening. Tho lady's prize was won by
Miss Phoebe Riley and tho gentleman's
prize by Emmet McGill, of Philadelphia.
Thoso present were: Misses Florence
and Lynn Wituian, Scranton; Margaret
Brenneu, Woathorly; Marce King,

A musical program was rendered in
which Misses Bonomo's vocal solo,
"Stay in Your Own Backyard," delight
ed all. Miss Martin distinguished her
self as a porformor upon tho piano. All
departed for their homes singing, "We'll
Go There Again."
Strikers Exonerated.
Frank Docker, a guard euiployod at
the Edgorton colliery, was yesterday
placed under 552,000 bonds by Judge
Holly, Lackawanna county, ou the
charge of shooting Connolly, a foreman,
and Forrest Crosstnan, Monday night
of last week. Tho bollof had been
genoral that tho shooting was done by
strikers and General Manager Thorno
had offered 81,000 reward for the
perpetrators.
Tho ovidence which led to Decker's
arrest came from Crossman, who told
Constable Neary In tho Carbondalo
hospital that he distinctly saw Decker
shoot, and recognized him at once.
This testimony is strengthened by the
fact that both Crossman aud Connolly
were hit with shot and not by bullets.
Decker on the night of tho shooting was
armed, it is asserted, with a shotgun
loaded with the saino size shot as wore
extracted from Crossmau's eye and
Connoll's leg.

TRI-WEEKLY
Would Not Insure Him.
Insurance Companies Refused
to Insure the Rev. J. W.
Yeisley Because He Had "
Kidney Troubles.
This case is but one of thousands
where the head of the house was re
fused insurance, because he had kidney
trouble. Mr. Yeisley had given up in
despair when some friend recommended
Dr. Darvid Kennedy's Favorite Remedy
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 mo, but in a short time it effec
tively proved its merit. Perhaps the
best proof I can give that it has
completely cured me Is to state that
1 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 tho 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 tho kidneys, liver, bladder, ad
blood, rheumatism, dyspepsia and
chronic constipation, as well as the
weaknesses peculiar to women. It
quickly relieves and cures inability to
hold urine and the necessity of getting
up a number of times during tho night.
It puts an end to that scalding pain
when passing urine and corrects the
bad effects of whiskey and boor.

Several Arrests Made.
As a result of the attack on August
Scheuck at liazleton Monday morning,
several of those whom it is alleged took
part in the affair have been arrested and
placed under bail. All of those who are
accused of being implicated were given
hearings boforo Alderman Ileidenrich,
their names and the amounts of ball
asked belugas follows: Robert Rickert,
$900; Cooper Ochosk, $1,300; Elihu Day,
formerly of Freoland, S'JOO, and Squiro
Daniel McKolvey, S9OO. Richard Burke,
John McGulre and Charles McGulre,
who were also arrested, worn discharged.
Tho evldonco against tho prisoners
was of the most lliinsy character, and
that the prosecutions are not sincere is
shown by the fact that tho alderman,
upon the advice of the corporation at
torneys, accepted bail from men who
acknowledged that they do not own a
dollar's worth of property.
Squire McKelvey appeared on tho
scone in tho role of a peacemaker, but
his prosenco thero was sufficient proof
in the eyes of the alderman to Implicate
him and heavy bail was demanded after
the farcial hearing.
