Twentieth Week of Strike Finds Mine Workers More Determined Tnan Ever. Estimate of the Output. Entering upon the twentieth week of the strike with a settlement apparently as far away as ever, the miners are found even more firmly entrenched In their position and sentiments than any time since the struggle was Inaugurat ed. Within the past week they have grown stronger in their demands for justice and local after local has declarod in unmistakable terms their determin ation to stay out until concessions are granted, if it takes until next summer. This is the temper of the entire region and few If any entertain a thought of re turning under any other condition. Ofli cials of the miners 1 organization say that the distribution of relief, a perplex ing problem at first, is now progressing very satisfactorily and while they are not living on luxuries* sufficient substan tial aid is being received and given out to keep the men in good siprits. Railroad men working on the lines entering the anthracite region are be coming rnstlesg over the prospect of being asked to handle non-union coal. Six hundred men, representing the fire men, trainmen, switchmen and teleg raphers on all the roads from Ashley to Plttston, met yesterday afternoon at Kingston and discussed tho situation. It "was for tho purpose of discussing how they might best aid the minors that the meeting was called. As a result, P. H. Morrlssey, grand master of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, may shortly come to Wilkesbarro to confer with President Mitchell. The meeting yesterday was attended by engineers, firemen and brakemen in employ of the Central Railroad of New Jersoy, Lehigh Valloy, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Lackawanna and Western, and Erie Railroads. At its conclusion the secretaries of each branch wore in structed to write to Mr. Morrissey, re questing him to come to Wllkcsbarre. The purpose thereof, it is understood, Is to have him look over tho field and thoroughly understand the situation, in the belief that he will then willingly sanction the determination of tho men not to handle the coal cut by non-union men, even if it means a sympathetic strike. The railroaders are so much in sym pathy with tho minors and their causo that they assort that while they would like to have the indorsement of Mr. Morrissey, should he withhold it they will strike anyway, If necessary, even though thoy forfeit thereby any strike benefits from their organization. Tho Brotherhood of Railway Train men will givo $56,000 to the anthracite coal miners 1 strike fund. Tho grand lodge has issued instructions to each of the 560 subordinate lodges to contribute SIOO. MITCHELL IN NEW YORK. John Mitchell, president of tho United Mine Workers, after spending most of yesterday In Now York In conference with labor leaders, announced that he probably would leave for Wilkesbarre today, although he might remain over until Tuosday. By some this was taken as significant, as the usual weekly meet ing of the presidents of the coal roads will be held tomorrow. But Mr. Mit chell denied that he expected to have anything in tho nature of a meeting with any of the operators or their friends. Accompanied by John Fahoy, presi dent of District 9, and Louis N. Him merllng, general agent of the United Mine Workers 1 Journal, the miners 1 leader last evening attended a benefit performance at Miner's Bowery theatre, where ho made a short address, repeat ing his declaration of Saturday night that tho strikers never would give in and had every reason to expect to win their battle. ESTIMATE OF TIIK OUTPUT. Reticence of officers of mining and carrying corporations makes it impos sible to determine with accuracy tho actual output from tho region affected by the strike. It is admitted by both operators and strikers that the propor tion of mined coal now going to market is small in comparison with the amount of washery coal of tho smallor sizes. Most of the mined product comes from the Brookside and Good Spring mines in the Western Schuylkill district and from the Lykens valley. Washery coal is also sent from these places. In the Mahanoy valley the St. Nicholas and North Mahanoy collieries are boing operated as washerios. The output from both those plants is small. In tho Shamokln region tho Henry Clay, North Franklin and Locust Gap washer les turn out a daily output of 500 tons. In the Lehigh region No. 40, Ilazleton, and Cranberry collieries are being opera ted for an estimated dally outputof les9 than 200 tons. No. 4, No. 12 and Green wood collieries and the Smith-Meyers washery are being partially operated in the Panther Creek valley. Practically all the coal being shipped from this re gion is the washed product. Eight collieries are in partial opera tion in the Lackawanna region, with an estimated daily output of 1,200 tons mined by a force of less than 800 men. Previous to the strike 84,000 tons were mined daily and 53,000 men aud boys were employed. Tho collieries being partially operated are tho Oxford, Old Forgo, Cayuga, Dickson, Von Storeh, Marino, Pancoast and Johnson. Reports from the Wyoming region are so conflicting that no estimate is possi ble. Mine workers say that the output is much less than that from tho Lacka wauna region. Brief Text of Game Laws.

A rumor has boen circulated to the effect that the Allentown fair has been postponed on account of the prevalence of smallpox. This is entirely unfound ed. There have been only six cases in the city of Allentown during tho past year and there is not a single case there at present. This is vouched for by Fred E. Lewis, mayor; A. W. Hendricks, M. D., health officer; J. D. Chrlstman, M. D., member of board of health. Death of Mrs. Farley.

The doath of Jamos Sheridan, of Park View, from an attack of typhoid fever, makes the fourth member of the family who has died from typhoid fever since last March. GIRL ABDUCTED. Miss Mabel Van Horn IVA<I n Thrilling Experience Last Nlglit. Miss Mabel Van Horn, aged 16 years, was abducted last evening by an un known man and woman after tho close of services at the Park M. E. church. The young lady was gagged with a handkerchief, placed In a wagon and taken to a point near Sandy Run, where she was detained in a tent until an early hour this morning, when she was re leased and directed on her way to Free land. Miss Van Horn, with several com panions, attended the evening services at the Park M. E. church on Main street. As she came out of the edifice, at the close of the sermon preached by Rev. Swartz, she was approached by a small boy, who notified ber that & lady wished to speak to her. Following the messenger to the oast side of the building, she was greeted by a woman who spoke pleasantly to her. The boy ran on to join the crowd leaving the church, and as soon as he had disappeared the woman quickly threw a handkerchief around the young lady's face and tied it so tightly that all attempts to call for help wore futile. A man then appeared, and the two hurried their victim to tho road ruuning through tho Public park, where a cover ed wagon was in waiting. Into this they placed Miss Van Horn and the three were driven rapidly in tho direc tion of Sandy Run. When they arrived at a point which Mabel thinks was noarly opposite the Lehigh Valley Railroad station in that town tho vehicle halted and all went into a small tent, of the size usually used by "gypsies." In the tent was another man, who, upon taklug a look at the prisonor, ex claimed: "This is not tho right girl; she has light hair; Mandy said tho girl we want is black-haired." This discovory seemed to have a dis appointing effect upon tho captors of tho girl. After some talk among them selves she was told that she was not the persou wanted, but would be held there until morning, when she would be sent home. All night long tho four remained in the tent and no opportunity was given Miss Van Horn to escape. She was closely watched, but in no other way was she ill-treated. As soon as daybreak appeared she was notifiod by the woman to get ready. After being blindfolded with the hand kerchief she was taken by tho two who abducted hor and walked along the rail road track. When they reached High land station the handkerchief was re moved and she was told to follow the railroad to Froeland. She obeyed the instructions with alarcity, and at 6.15 a. in. arrived at the Neußurgor home on Front street, where she has been employed as a domestic the past few days. There she told hor story, after which she was taken to tho home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Van Horn, in the Third ward. Her father and brothers immediately set out to discover her abductors. They enlisted the services of Constable James Welsh, and with the girl, drove to Sandy Run. Thoy were unable to find any trace of the wagon, tent or the two men and the woman there, and Mr. Van Horn returned homo with the girl, whf) was exhausted and fatigued for the want of sleep. Tho family is still searchlug for the culprits, but no clues had been ob tained up to this afternoon. Mabel says that during the past ten days she was approached twice by an unknown woman who warned her that she was in danger. Once this woman met her on North Ridge street and once on Schw&be street, a short distance from her home. She called her by name, she says, and cautioned her to remain at home, especially after dark. Her family last night thought she was safe in the Noußurger residence, while tho Neußurgers believed she had gone home after tho church services were over. For this reason no alarm over her disappearance was ralsod. Tho funeral of Paul Kiney, of Lans ford, who was shot behind tho stockade by Deputy Hugh Black, was one of the mo9t remarking funerals evor held in this vicinity—remarkable on account of tho small attendance, the entire number being five. The officials of tho L. C. N. Co. were conspicuous by their absence, as were tho members of tho Citizens 1 Alliance, who havo exhibited so much sympathy for tho poor, down trodden slaves now behind tho stockades. — Tamaqua Recorder. W. A. Mills, a coachman at Glen Sum mit, found a largo wallet iu tho road. Ho carried it to the hotel, reaching there just as an oxcited coaching party started to search for it. A New York man had lost the wallet. In contained $5,000 in bills and SIO,OOO in chocks. The owner gave Mills $lO. LOCAL NOTES WRITTEN UP Short Items of Interest to All Readers.
