RAILROAD MEN
ARE RESTLESS
May Refuse to Handle Coal
Mined "by Hon-Unionists.
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.

An Unfounded Rumor.
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.

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

to search for it. A New York man had

bills and SIO,OOO in chocks. The owner
gave Mills $lO.
