SETTLEMENT
RUMORS AGAIN
Miners' Great Struggle Is
Drawing to a Close.
Renewed Activity of Union
Officials Follows Mysteri
ous Meeting at Philadel
phia—Baer Predicts End.
Tho movement began in August to
end the coal strike, and which had
about succeeded in its difficult task
when a horde of glory-seeking poli
ticians stopped In and nullified tho
greater part of the work accomplished,
has been resumed, and the Indications
are that success will bo achieved this
time, as the meddle-mongers who sought
to make partisan capital out of the
settlement have been warned by both
sides to keep hands off.
At the head of this movement is a
strong broad man of national reputa
tion. liis name is being kept a secret
l>y those who know of his plans. They
say that to divulge it at this time
might again bring his efforts to naught.
It is confidently stated by persons who
know something of this mysterious
movement that it Is stronger than the
operators and stronger than the miners.
Its object isn't tho advancement of
either, but the settlement of the strike
upon the broad ground of public rights.
Tho representative of this movement
was at the Hotel Walton, Philadelphia,
on Monday. In response to a call from
the mysterious man, President Mitchell,
Secretary Wilson and District Presidents
Nichols, Fahy and Duffy hurried to
Philadelphia. That lie Is a man of great
standing and importance is evidenced
by the fact that they dropped important
work to answer his summons.
Mr. Mitchell was so busy ho wouldn't
go all the way to Indianapolis, and Mr.
Wilson was so busy ho could not go
all the way to Wilkesbarre to attend to
routine matters ot tho organization,
which thoy had to go over. So they
split the journoy and mot in Pittsburg.
Mr. Mitchell expected, when he left
Wilkesbarre, to bo back Sunday night.
Then came tho summons. It was so
Important that Mr. Wilson dropped the
great mass of work waiting for him in
Indianapolis and journeyed all the way
to Philadelphia to attend tho conference.
This fact is accoptod as proof that the
miners' loaders regarded it as a matter
very important to their cause.
Since their return to Wilkesbarre Mr.
Mitchell and tho throe district presi
dents have rofused every request for In
formation concerning tho Philadelphia
conference. They will not say whom
thoy met, what proposition, if any, was
made, whether a sottlenont is in sight,
or what effect the mooting will ulti
mately have upon tho striko.
President Mitchell declares that the
person with whom he was in conference
did not roprosent tho coal operators.
This declaration Is not considered Im
portant, as Mr. Mitchell would not deny
that indirectly this person might be
authorized to speak for the coal com
panies. Tho Impression at strike head
quarters is that tho mysterious man is
one of J. Plerpont Morgan's financial
agents. It is also believed that the man
who conferred with the miners' chief
got his best terms for a settlement of
the strike and that those terms are now
being discussed by tho mine owners.
That tho conference gave tho union
loaders renewed hope of winning the
striko is evident. They are all in good
spirits and a particularly happy frame
of mind.
Unless all signs fall, this latest move
ment will be productive of results which
will be entirely satisfactory to the
miners.
Rumors of settlement upon the basis
that the men shall return to work under
a guarantee that they will be mot In a
wage scale conference at some future
time aro klllod outright by statements
from all the strike leaders, from Presi
dent Mitchell down, to the effect that
the men will not return under any prom
ise. Thoy feel confident that they have
the operators beaten, and they will not
accept any compromise of that sort.
They want the questions involved set
tled, once and for all, and they say they
will stay out until thoy are settled.
MISCELLANEOUS ADVERTISEMENTS.
TN KE-APPOINTMENTOF GUARDIAN OF
L THE ESTATE OF BRIDGET MeOET
RICK.
Notico is hereby given that Ellen Boyle has
presented a petition to the court of common
pleas of Luzerne county, asking the appoint
ment of a guardian of the estate of Bridget
McQetrick, of Freeland. The suid petition
appearing to be in proper form, the court has
directed the same to be tiled, and has appoint
ed Monday, October 0, IHG2, at 10 o'clock a. m..
as the time for hearing, when such decree will
be luude uuless cause shown to the contrary.
John M. Cai r,
Attorney for l'etitiouor.
One of the district presidents who has
traveled through tho three regions,
said yesterday that men everywhere
had told him they would never go into
the mines again unless tho conditions
were revised. They will go elsewhere
and engage in other occupations, he
said, rather than work under tho condi
tions which prevailed in the anthracite
rogions before the strike began.
BARB PREDICTS THE END.
After tho meeting of the presidents of
the anthranclto coal-carrying roads in
New York city yesterday, President
George F. Baer, of the Reading, gave
this in an interview regarding the strike:
"When will the strike end? Last
week I declined to make a prediction
when It will end, but I will make one
now. You can say that the strike will
end very soon. I won't say whether It
will be next week or the week after, but
It will be very soon.
"Any way, it will bo positively settled
before we have any signs of really cold
weather. I do not wish to make any
reply to John Mitchell's statement.
Every one knows what the Issues are,
and there is no use going over thetn.
"I repeat that there will be no settle
ment or arbitration, but the strike will
be settled, as I have statod all along,
by the men going back to work."
The meeting of the railroad presidents
lasted more than two hours. Every
road was represented.
Vice President Loomls, of the Lacka
wanna Company, said that tbo end of
the strike was near. His conference
on Monday with miners formerly in the
company's employ had no effect what
ever; In fact, It tended to intensify the
situation, for the 150 men working at
the Cayuga mining coal quit yesterday,
leaving that place idle.
FIASCO AT DRIFTON.
The much-heralded resumption at
Drifton took place this morning. Not
one new man reported for work, al
though a special train with 143 coal and
Iron police steamed Into tho town early
this morning. The deputies were placed
along all roads leading to the colliery,
but did not have the ploasnre of escort
ing a singlo Individual to work. No
strikers were In evidence.
At 7 o'clock tho breaker machinery
started, and up to noon the gunboat had
made thirty trips up and down the slope.
Seven of these trips found tho car load
ed, twenty-three times it was empty.
Several employes of the outside de
partment who were asked to assist in
the "resumption" refused to do so and
quit work.
Tho bricklayers and stone masons
employed on tho now boiler-house at
No. 1 asked that the armed guards
around them bo removed. The request
was refused and the men then stopped
work and came home.
Death of Andrew McNulty.
Andrew MeNulty died on Monday at
# llanover hospital, Scranton, where ho
had been receiving treatment for the
past few weeks. lie was 34 yoars of age
and was a son of the lato Thomas Me-
Nulty, who, with his family, was a resi
dent of this and neighboring towns for a
number of yoars.
Some yoars ago Mr. MeNulty was a
school teacher In Foster township and
few young men had a more promising
career, being possessed of a bright in
tellect, a good education and natural
ability far above the ordinary.
He is survived by his mother, two
brothors and four sisters. The remains
were taken yesterday from Scranton to
the home of his sister, Mrs. Patrick
Ward, Silver Brook. The funeral will
take place at 9 o'clock tomorrow morn
ing, followed by a requiem mass at Mc-
Adoo and interment at Hazleton.
Criminal Libel Charged.
Rev. Carl Ilouser, pastor of St.
Peter and Paul's Slavonian Lutheran
church, yesterday entered a suit against
L. O. Lubrecht, editor of the Hazleton
Standard, for criminal libel. Rev. Ilou
ser enumerates several allegations,
among them that the said L. G. Lubrecht j
wilfully and maliciously injured his
reputation and standing in the com
munity. The outcomo of the suit was |
an article in the columns of the Stand-1
ard on Monday, in which it was alleged
that Rev. Houser was doing missionary
work among the members of his con
gregation to return to work.
The warrant was sworn out before
Squire T. A. Buckley and was served
by Constable Condy Furoy. The de
fendant waived a hearing and entered
bail in the sum of 9500 for his appear
ance at court.

TUBERCULOSIS
Campaign to be Wagod Against Further
Spread of Consumption.
From the Philadelphia Press.
To further tho work of stamping out
tuberculosis In Pennsylvania, the Free
Hospital for Poor Consumptives, which
has Its sanitarium at White Havon,
hopes soon to open a clinic In this city,
where poor victims of the disease may
be treated, and which shall be a center
for the distribution of literature bearing
upon the prevention of tho disease.
The society hopes also, in the near
future, to have a hospital building
where cases, not dying, but which aro
too far advanced to bo taken to White
Haven, may be cared for.
These two projects aro a part of tho
campaign against the spread of con
sumption, a campaign which the Free
Hospital and the Pennsylvania Society
for the Prevention of Tuberculosis are
preparing to carry Into every part of
the stato.
Dr. Lawrence F. Flick, president of
the Free Hospital, said yesterday:
''There aro probably 10,000 cases of
consumption lu Pennsylvania today.
Of these two-thirds are too poor to pay
for proper treatment. Wo have ninety
beds at White Haven, but we have more
thau one hundred patients on tho wait
ing list.
"What we are particularly working
for now is registration. Tho Board of
Health a yoar ago made an effort to
have tuberculosis placed upon the list
of contagious diseases, but failed. The
Board of Health can only learn where
the disease lurks through the registra
tion of every case. The objects of such
registration are: First, to give knowl
edge and help to the consumptive and
his family for their protection and for
the protection of tho public; socond, to
protect people against tho danger of
contaminated houses, into which they
may lunocontly move.
"New York is ahead of us in this mat
ter of registration, for in that city ovory
case must be made known. In Boston,
also, all premises that have been occu
pied by consumptives are disinfected.
Such a compulsory arrangement in
Philadelphia would bo a great stop for
ward in the work of stamping out tho
disease.
"As far as private efforts go Pennsyl
vania has accomplished more In this
work than any other state. Except for
the $50,000 appropriated last year by
the legislature for the Free Hospital
for Poor Consumptives, we have had no
government support, either in the way
or funds or legislation.
"It costs between $3,000 and $4,000 a
month to care for the patients wo have
at White Haven. Of this amount tho
state gives about SI,OOO and we are
compelled to look to tho charity of
friends of the institution for the bal
ance."
Remarkable Orders.
By orders of Superintendent L. C.
Smith, of Drifton, any wagon driven by
Burgess Johu F. Boyle, of Freoland,
must not bo weighed at Drifton scales.
Mr. Boyle is a driver for Freeland Brew
ing Company and an active union work
er. Fuel from Uarlelgh culm bank is
used at the brewery and weighed at
Drifton. Mr. Smith rocontly learned
that the burgess sometimes drives tho
fuel-wagon and Immediately issued an
order that any wagon driven by Mr.
Boyle must not bo weighed at Coxo Bros.
A Co.'s scales.
When tho burgess arrived yesterday
at Drifton with & load of culm he was
refused the privilege of having it wolgh
od and those in charge notified him of
Smith's remarkable orders. •
Candidates Plan Work.
A meeting of tho Democratic county
candidates was hold at tho county seat
yesterday and plans wore laid for tho
coming campaign. Thore is a strong
feeling In the party that tho entire
ticket will bo elected by a largo majority
next mouth.
Tho members of tho county committee
were also chosen at this meeting. Those
who will represent tho Fourth district
are: R. J. O'Donnell, Esq., Freoland;
John J. McNeils, Drifton; Henry Wal
ser, Condy J. O'Donnell, Hazleton, and
John J. McUeehan and Silas E. Jones,
West Il&zleton.
Miners' Mass Meeting.

holding of a mass meeting of tho strik
ing mine workors of Freoland and
vicinity this evening. Tho mooting will
