CONVENTION
IN SESSION
Majority of the Delegates
Favor Settlement.
Question of How to Deal
With Operators Who Fail
to Reinstate Employes Is
Perplexing the Delegates.
This morning at 10 o'clock delegates
from the three anthracite districts of
the United Mine Workers assembled in
convention at the Nesbltt theatre,
Wllkcsbarre. The convention Is for the
purpose of going through the formality
of declaring off the strike by accepting
the arbitration plan of President Roose
velt The vote may not be taken uutil
tomorrow, but It is certlan that the
action of President Mitchell will be
approved and a return to work made
before the end of the prosent week.
The moruing session was taken up
with preliminary work. Adjournment
was made at 11.15 o'clock.
At 1.30 o'clock this afternoon the con
vention wont Into session again. The
credential committee reported and other
routine business was transacted, after
which President Mitchell delivered his
address, in which the negotiations lead
ing up to the settlement plans were
reviewed.
It is learned that tho vote for settle
ment will be unanimous.
Tho question of what action shall be
taken if all strikers are not given their
former positions promises-to be the sub
ject of a lengthy debato. No prediction
of how this matter will be adjusted or
provided for will be made by the leaders.
It is possible that tho vote on the set
lement may be taken late this evening,
although the outlook at 3 o'clock was
that the convention will last two days.
Attacked a Workman.
While on his way to work Friday even
ing Max Geisel, a resident of Blrvanton,
was met near Drifton by a young man
of the latter town who upbraided him
for taking a striking pump runner's posi
tion in tho mines. Gelsel's reply anger
ed the young man, who was Intoxicated,
and the latter struck him several blows
on the face and chest. Geisol turned
and started homeward and was followed
by his assailant, who again attacked
him near Woodslde scboolhouso. The
workman was then struck under tho left
eye, Inflicting a very painful wound.
Geisel Is about 60 years old and was
until lately janitor of the M. & M. Insti
tute rooms.
Tho striking mine workers, upon whom
sorao thoughtless persons place tho
blame for the attack, are indignant that
such an outrage should be perpetrated
on the eve of a peaceful settlement of
the strike. Hundreds of thetn have met
(foisel and others going and coming from
work many times and offored them no
violence. The party charged with tho as
sault is not'connected with tho union or
the strike. It Is said he has left the
region.
As a result of tho attack a battalion
of the First regiment paraded through
Freoland and vicinity Saturday morn
ing and later in tho day posted several
copies of a six-language proclamation
issued by Colonel Bowman, in which
those who desire to work are guaranteed
protection and all others are cautioned
to refrain from violating tho law by dis
turbing the peace or committing dis
orderly acts.
Exciting Football Game.
The most exciting football gains ever
playod In town was that which took
placo at the Tigers park Saturday after
noon. The contestants were the Good
Wills and the Crescents. The latter won
by a score of 5 to 0. The game was
fairly well played, but at tlmos tho In
tonso rivalry between the clubs was per-

unnecessary Injuries resulted. Dr. Cope
was the victim of the most serious acci
dent during the game, sustaining a dis
colored optic In one of the rushes.

Died This Morning. 1
Mrs. Christina Stark, widow of the
late Henry Stark, died at 1.20 o'clock
this morning at her home on Blrkbeck
stroet. The deceased was born lu Ger
many In 1851 and came to the United
States when twenty-two years of age.
She resided with her brother in High
land until 1873, when she married her
late husband, who died lu 1886 Their
union was blessed by four children, two
of whom are still living, Henry, of Free
land, and William, of Archb&ld, Lack
awanna county.
Mrs. Stark became a resident of Free
land In 1887, and in 1895 went to the
West, whore she remained three years,
returning to town In 1898. Since then
she has lived here. Her death was due
to cancer, from which she suffered for
the past six months.
The funeral will take place at 2 o'clock
Wednesday afternoon. Services will be
conducted at the house by Rev. J. J.
Kuntz. The iuterment will be made
beside the remains of her late husband
In Freeland cemetery.
Wonderful Imagination.
On Saturday evening as a prominent
man of town was going Into the Grand
opera house ho took occasion to whisper
In the ear of a friend In the lobby that
It was reported tho house was going to
be dynamited. What a martyr this
man pretended to be, going into the
very jaws of death? Had ho possessed
the slightest evidonce that such a di
abolical plot existod he would have
taken good care to be on the outside of
the building, but proof positive was
given by his entering that It was simply
his own Imagination that conceived the
thought.
It Is to be regrottod that some men
have no better use for their brains than
to conjure up weird thoughts of dyna
mite.
Automobile Accident.
While R. E. Meyer, superintendent of
the Electric Light Company, was re
turning last evening from a trip on his
automobile the front axle broke aud
badly disabled the machine. The acci
dent occurred on Centre stroet, in front
of the Central hotel, at 7 o'clock, and
the two occupants, Mr. Meyer and
James A. Christy, wore thrown from
the automobile, but escapod without
serious injury. The axlo snapped in
two near tho right front wheel and had
a high rato of speed been maintained at
the time serious results might have
followed. Mr. Meyer carefully ex
amined the machine before starting on
his trip and It appeared to bo in good
shape and without any apparent defects.
Who Settled the Strike?
To whom belongs tho credit for settl
ing the coal strike appears to be a dis
puted question, and arguments here and
elsewhere have been quite numerous
during the past week. The following
dispatch shows that a new claimant for
the honor has arisen:
"Now York, October 18.—Christian
Scientists say it was thoy, and not Presi
dent Roosevelt, or J. Plerpont Morgan,
or John Mitchell, who brought the great
anthracite coal striko to the present
crisis favorable to its ending. The pro
jection of the force of thought was start
ed by the Christian Scientists of this
city last Sunday. Those of strongest
intellect in the sect sent forth the coal
throught in resistless currents."

ELOQUENT SERMON.
Rev. 11. L, McMenainlu Deliver* n Bril
liant Oration at St. Ann'a Church.
Rev. n. L. McMenamin, of Colorado
Springs, Colo., who has been spending a
month with his parents and other rela
tives here, delivered the sermon at the
10.30 o'clock mass at St. Ann's Catholic
church yesterday. Rov. McMenamin
will leave this week to resume his duties
In Colorado, and as yesterday was tho
last opportunity to hear him speak the
large edifice was crowded. Both here
and In his Western home "ho has the
reputation of being an eloquent speaker,
and his sermon yesterday is conceded by
the members of St. Ann's congregation
to bo the most brilliant oration over de
livered In the church. He dwelt at
length upon the coal strike, and his fer
vent espousal tf the miners' cause, com
ing, as It did, from one who has had
personal knowledge of his subject, made
a docp Impression upon the large audi
ence.
After reading the gospel of the day,
Matthew xxii, 15:21, ending with:
"Render therefore to Cteser the things
that are Cesser's; and to God the things
that are God's," Father McMenamin
likened the occasion spoken of in the
text to the auspicious ending of one of
the greatest conflicts ever waged by
man against tyrannical conditions. He
told of man's Inherited right to rebel
against injustice in whatever form it
may present Itself and ot how illogical
and harmful to human progress it is to
follow the Injunction so often delivered
to the oppressed, to "let well enough
alono."
He complimented the wage-workers
of the congregation upon the notable
victory they have achieved by securing
the appointment of a commission to in
vestigate their grievances. He said
that great good and much benefit will
come of tho hardships and sacrifices
they endured during the past Ave
months, and, with many Instances to
support his view, predicted that tho full
fruits of their great struggle will be
reaped later.
Considered from a religious stand
point, tho speaker found in thesufferings
of the people during tho strike a source
of Inspiration which gave him an oppor
tunity to call their attention to their
duty to their Creator and their fellow
man. The text was again turned to ser
vice by showing how their struggle for
righteousness in human affairs should
again bo ondurod In the same voluntary
and sacrificing spirit if need be to attain
victory over sin and to secure the bless
ings which tho next world holds for the
worthy.
He advised that people should strive
to keep down any hatred or enmity that
might arise within them against those
of their follow-mon whose moral courage
had failed them in the great battle and
to boar no malice towards those who had
not stood beside them in their contest.

Worth of His New Spe
cial Treatment Free
to Each of Our
Readers.
When an experienced physician offers
to give away $40,000 worth of a Now
Treatment for disease of the heart,
nerves, stomach or dropsy, it is conclu
sive evidence that he has great faith in
it. And when hundreds of prominent
people freely testify to his unusual skill
and the superiority of his Now Special
Treatment, his liberality is certainly
wort hy of serious consideration.
That Dr. Miles is one of the world's
most successful physicians is proven by
hundreds of testimonials from well
known people. One patient cured after
failure of eleven Grand Rapids physi
cians, two after being given up by six
and seven Chicago physicians, another
after nine leading doctors in New York
City, Philadelphia and Chicago failed.
1000 testimonials sent upon request.
Tli eminent Itev. W. Bell, I). T)., of Dayton.
()., Gen. Sec'y of Foreign Missions, writes
editorially in The State Sunday School Union.:
"We desire to state that from personal ac
quaintance we know l>r. Miles to be u most
skillful specialist, u man who has span <1 nei
ther labor nor money to keep himself übreaat
of the trreat advancement, in medical science.*'
Col. Tucker, late General Manager N. Y., L.
E. & W. It. It. says: "Dr. Miles' success us a
physician has been pheuotuinnl " "My heart,"
writes I>. M. Davis, of Warren, Pa., "was so
bad I was feariul of troing to sleep lest it
would be my lut Dr. Miles saved my life. I
was completely cured in six weeks." Mrs.
Abigail Chambers, of Chumhersburg, Pa.,
states: "My trouble was ill the brain ana
spiuul cord. When I commenced Dr. Miles'
treatment I could hardly walk across the
room: now I am able to do all my own work."
Mrs. W. A. W tt rren. ol Jamestown, N. Y., re
ports: "For yc-irs I bad severe trouble with
my stomach, neuralgia, sinking spells and
dropsy. Dr. Miles cured rae."
This new system of Special Treatment
is thoroughly scientific and immensely
superior to the ordinary methods.
As all alllicted readers may have
$4.00 worth of treatment free , we would
advise them to send for it at once.
