FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1902.
MARKLE & GO. WILL RESUME;
GOXE BROS. & GO. STILL OUT
Jeddo Firm's Employes Decide to Return to Work,
Drifton Company's Men May Reject Offer.
A Committee Representing
Drifton Company's Em
ployes in Conference With
President This Afternoon.
President Irving A. Stearns, of the D.
S. & S. Railroad Company and Coxe
Bros. & Co., arrived In Drifton from his
home in Wilkesbarre at 10 o'clock this
morning to meet a committee of Coxe
Bros. & Co.'a employees.
The committee, which numbered
fourteen, comprised two members from
each of the seven locals composed of
this company's employes. They wore
appointed on Friday uight in response
to a request from President Stearns,
sent through District President Duffy,
in which he asked that a committee be
chosen to hold a confidence with him at
Drifton today.
Immediately after the arrival of Mr.
Stearns the conference began,"but on
account of the president-being fatigued
from tiis journey his request for an ad
journment until this afternoon at 1
o'clock was granted by the committee.
Shortly after the hour named the
committee and Mr. Stearns again met
and proceeded to discuss the questions
which have delayed resumption of work
at the Drifton company's collieries at
Drifton, Eckley, Stockton, Reaver
Meadow, Oneida and Derringer.
The complaints of the employes were
received, and Mr. Stearns' answer was
given to the committee under seal at
1.30 o'clock. This answer will be pre
sented this afternoon to the executive
board of District 7.
While no authoritative announcement
can be made at this time, it is generally
believed that tho reply of Mr. Stearns
to the coinmitteo is not a satisfactory
answer to tho demands made at today's
conference and will likely be rejected.
Foot Ball Game.
The third and deciding game of foot
ball between the Good Wills and Cres
cent teams began at the Tigers park
Saturday afternoon in the presence of a
large audience. Each club had won one
game, and as Saturday's contest was to
decide tho local championship great In
terest was taken In the result.
During the first half neither side
scored. In the second half the ball was
in play only a short while when a deci
sion of Referee Nowak, which gave the
Crescent club 5 points, was questioned.
Upon the refusal of the referee to re
verse his decision the Good Will club
left the field.
The members and friends of the dis
senting team claim the decision of the
referee was Illegal. Tho Crescents
claim it was correct, to the best of the
referee's observations, his view having
been obscured in the play which caused
the dispute.
Tho admirers of the game are anxious
that tho teams get together again and
settle the contest for supremacy.
The line-up of the clubs in Saturday's
game was as follows;
Good Wills. Positions. Crescents.
McDyor left end Pultz
MoTague left tackle Cope
Gallagher left guard Dcitrich
Median t centre Korchnak
Johnson right guard Yannes

Mine Foreman Fatally Shot.
P&lrick Hennessey, a demented man,
shot and fatally wounded Daniel Doris,
outside foreman at the Susquehanna
Coal Company's mine at Glen Lyon, Sat
urday morning. Hennessey was for
merly employed as a fireman at the
Glen Lyon colliery, but owing to his
erratic conduct he was discharged by
Doris. Hennessey made threats from
time to time that he would get even, and
Doris had fears that he would carry out
his threats.
Saturday morning the foreman was
standing In front of the company supply
store at Glen Lyon, when he was ap
proached from behind by Hennessey,
who, without any warning, fired two
shots from a revolver at him. One of
(lie bullets entired his abdomen, inflict
ing a fatal wound. The other bullet
went through the right arm, shattering
it. Doris is a popular man, and there is
much indiguatiou over the shooting.
The wounded man was taken to
Wilkesbarre City hospital, where be
died Sunday night. Hennessey was
at rested aud lodged iu the county jail.
Employes of the Jeddo Firm
Holding a Mass Meeting
at the Grand Opera House
This Afternoon.
For the purpose of accepting or re
jecting a proposition made by John
Markle to his employes, through Dis
trict President Duffy, a mass meeting
of the men employed by G. B. Markie &
Co. provlous to the strike is now being
held at the Grand opera house.
Though none but those entitled to a
voice and vote in the proceedings were
allowed to enter, the spacious building
was barely able to contain the throng
which demanded admission.
From unofficial sources it Is learned
that Mr. Markle agrees to reinstate all
bis employes, excepting those who were
evicted on Thursday, and that the firm
will abide by the findings of the arbitra
tion commission.
A majority of tho district officors of
the union attended the moeticg.
At 3.40 o'clock the vote on the propo
sition was taken and the offer accepted,
A committee was appointed to notify
the firm. Work will bo resumed as
soon as possible.
Enemy's Unique Revenge.
Frank Edwards, a prominent young
man of Bloomsburg, was made the
victim of a mystorious emeny's wrath in
a unique, but terrible way. Tho enemy
poured vitriol in the pockets of three
suits of clothes and an overcoat that
hung In a closet in Edwards' room, hav
ing gained access to the closet through
a rear door during the day.
Edwards wore the overcoat Saturday
night and discovered nothing until he
put his hands in the pockets, while on
his way uptown. Instantly bis hands
were badly burned by tho vitriol, and,
thinking the coat was on fire, he
hastily throw it off. An investigation
disclosed the fact that tho pockets had
literally been soaked with the liquid fire.
During the night Edwards wont to
his wardrobe and, putting his hand In the
pocket of a coat, was again badly burned
by vitrol. Upon investigation he found
that throe suits and the overcoat bad
been ruined.
The young man first declarod that he
did not believe he had an enemy in the
world, but later admitted that he had
had trouble with parties whom he re
fused to name, and that threats had
been made against them.
His hands are horribly burned, and it
Is,feared he may lose the use of them.
A JUGGLER'S TRICK.
Clever Feat of Illunlnn Performed by
on Bant Indian.
The wonderful feats of East Indian
Jugglers have formed the theme of
many a letter from travelers In the
orient, but none Is more surprising than
that for which an old sendog vouches.
While he was ail officer on board a
P. and O. steamship two natives came
aboard at Madras, he says. They were
a Juggler nnd his assistant. After they
bad performed a number of m Iff or
feats and gathered quite a crowd
around them they called for a sack
and a piece of sailcloth.
These having heeu provided, the
chief Juggler made a small tcntllke
structure with the canvas and some
stools. He then placed his assistant
In the sack and allowed a sailor to tie
the knot which hound him a fast pris
oner. This doue, the chief carried the
sack Into an open space, warning the
people to stand buck some distance,
und theu carried oil an animated con
versation with Ills assistant, whose re
plies could he distinctly heard coming
from the suck. Suddenly the chief
rushed forward, picked up the sack
and dumped It ovcrbonrd, where, to
the horror of the passengers and crew,
It sank out of sight
Immediately the captain rushed for
ward and seized the man, under the
full belief that he bad murdered his
companion, but the Juggler only
smiled and, pointing to the canvas,
asked that It he raised. This was
done,.and the supposed drowned man
was discovered squatting on the deck.
So realistic bail been the throwing
overboard, however, that it was some
time before the surprised passengers
could realize a murder had not been
committed.
111. R.vens.,
M. Colombies, a merchant of Paris,
had his revenge 011 a former sweet
heart, a lady of Boueu, when he left
her by will u legacy of SO,OOO for hav
ing some twenty years before refused
to marry him, "through which," states
the will, "I was enabled to live Inde
pendently and happily as a bachelor."

ELECTION ECHOES.
James G. Harvey, who was defeated
for representative by B. J. Feery, by 40
votes, has decided to contest the elec
tion, and has placed the matter In the
hands of an attorney. He claims that
ballots in the Ninth district of Hazle
township wore tampered with. Harvey
was pledged to vote for tho re-election
of Senator Boise Penrose, and notwith
standing the largo number of Republi
cans in the coming legislature bis vote
will be needed by tho Quay machine,
hence the contest.
The finish of the count of tho vote in
Schuylkill Fourth legislature district
was very exciting, as it was discovered
that Irvin Reed, a Democratic candidate,
led the Republican nominees, and was
one of the three representatives elected.
When the count was ended Snyder,
Republician, was found to have majority
over Woodward, Republican. Crone,
Republican, was also elected, making
the delegation two Republicans and one
Democrat.
The name of George H. Hartman, of
town, will go down in history as one of
the defeated candidates for governor of
Pennsylvania In 1902. The gonial meat
dealer received one vote at Eckley for
that office. It was cast by a Slavonian
friend of his who said that none of the
five candidates whoso names appeared on
the official ballot was as good a man as
George.
By the official count of the county
vote, as given above, Mainwaring, Re
publican, Is found to have been elected
over Holman, Democrat, for register of
wills, by a plurality of 42. Mr. Holman
is said to be slated for a position in the
commissioner's office, in return for his
work for his successful colleagues.
B. J. Moore, ot Lackawanna county,
who was elected to the office of mine in
spector In that county, formerly resided
at Warrior Run and is a brother to E.
J. Moore, secretary of the Luzerne
county Democratic committee.
More Troops Sent Home.
Companies A, 11, G and M, of the First
regiment, who have been stationed In
thls.rogloo, departed for Philadelphia
Saturday evening. Tho companies were
stationed at Qarwood, Lattlmcr and
Upper Leblgh. The collieries at which
these companies had their camps aro
now In operation, and there Is no longor
any need of soldiers thore.
It is expected that more of the First
reglmont men will be sent home early
next week.
111. Cii.c Not So Ilad After All.
"All, it's n sad old world," sighed tho
man who had been cheated out of 1(120.
"Yes," assented his neighbor. "One
of my horses got his head fast In the
hayrack last night and broke his neck.
I was offered *2OO for him less than a
mouth ago."
"Pshaw! That's too bad. Looks as
though it was going to brighten up,
doesn't it?" And he went 011 his way
whistling cheerfully.—Chicago Itecord-

TRI-WEEKLY
Why Diseases Become Chronic.
Nerve Force Regarded by
I Scientists as More Import
ant Than the Blood.
A $4.00 TREATMENT FREE.
1 The blood was formerly regarded as
the life-giving principle and to its con
dition was attributed all that there was
of health or illness. Now, physiologists
know that nerve force and vitality are
the same, and that tho constitution,
good or bad, depends upon nerve force.
Nerve force controls all motion, sen
sation, digestion and nutrition. An
abundance of this subtle energy means
health and vigor; a lack of it causes
general debility, nervous prostration,
premature declfne, disease and death.
Nerve force is chiefly generated in the
brain, and therefore in tho treatment
of all lingering diseases the condition
of the brain centers should be carefully
considered and treated. One great
cause of diseases becoming chronic is
that physicians overlook the fact that
deficiency of nerve force Is the chief
cause of most diseases. Nervous pros
tration is duo to lack of nerve force.
Dr. Miles' Neuropathic Treatments
strengthen and invigorate the nerve
centers. They are the result of twenty
live years' careful study, extensive re
search and remarkable success. They
build up tho system by increasing nerve
force, and have won for Dr. Miles the
thanks of thousands of sufferers.
Mrs. A. Kronck of Huntington, ind., was
cured after thirty physicians failed; Mrs. Flora
(Jrnctor of Bristolville, (). after twenty-two;
Jas. K. Waite, tho noted actor, atter a score
had pronounced him incurable; Mrs. Frank
Smith of Chicago, after five lending physic
ians hud given her up; Mrs. Julius Krister of
Chicago, alter ten; Mrs. It. Parker alter six
teen failed.
Tho treatments are not generally ad
vertised, but every chronic sufferer is
invited to write for Dr. Miles free book
and Examination Chart. $4.00 worth
of treatment especially prepared for
each case will bo sent free as a trial.
Address, Dr. Franklin Miles, 203 to 211
