ENG. | The committee representing the strik ing employes of Coxe Bro9. & Co. was sent for yesterday by tho officials of the company, and after a lengthy confer ence with Superintendent Kudlich at the general office in Drifton the proposi tion printed above was submitted by the committee and accepted by the super intendent. The committee then placed the latest offer of settlement before the district executive board of the union at Hazie ton, and after receiving tho approval of tho members of the board, a call lor a mass meeting of the employes was issued, for the purpose of accepting or reject ing the proposition. This meeting wa9 held at the Grand opera house this afternoon. It was call ed to order shortly after 2 o'clock by John J. Gillespie, chairman of the em ployes' committee and president of Local Union No. 1519. Despite the inclement weather the attendance was large. Tho proposition and the reply were laid before the meeting, and at 2.40 o'clock both were unanimously accepted and the action of the committee rati fied Commissioners' Appointments. County Commissioners-elect Finn and Schappert yesterday agreed upon the following persons to fill the positions in their office: Chief clerk—James Holman, Hazie ton, the defeated candidate for register of wills; salary, 81,800 per year. Clerks in main office—William De vanney, Wilkesbarre, salary, 81,500; Thomas R. Peters, Wilkesbarre, 81,200; George W. Schappert, son of Commis sioner-elect Schappert, 81.200; Jame9 P. Gilligan, Wilkesbarre, 81,200. State tax department—C. Bart Sut ton, Wilkesbarre, salary, 81,200; Ed ward Keating, Pittston township, 81,020; Joseph Rittenmeyer, Wilkesbarre, 8900. Transcribing department— William Norton, Dallas; Charles Webber, Pitts ton; Sterling Kooos, Harveyville; James Robinson, Miner's Mills; Thomas Hop kins, Pittston; James Mullahy, Kings ton, and John M. Mack, Luzerne Bor ough. These positions are worth about 8750 per year. Janitor, John Finn, Miner's Mills, brother of County Commissioner Finn, salary 8840; night watchman, James Gilligan, Nantlcoke, salary 8840; as sistant janitors, Henry Brahl aud Pat- Work will be resumed at Drifton col lieries on Friday morning, and at all other collieries of Coxe Bros. & Co. on Monday morning. Steam men will report for work this evening, and blacksmiths, carpenters and others holding like positions will also respond at once if called upon be fore the dates fixed for general resump tion. After the strikers learned the terms upon which tbi9 long strike ha 9 ended there was general rejoicing, as practi cally every point contested for by them has been conceded. Credit for the settlement Is unani mously given to Superintendent Kud lich, who proved his wisdom by offering an unconditional surrender when he found that tho company he represents was utterly powerless to weaken the invincible army of strikers. It Is unofficially stated that the cases of D. S. & S. Railroaders who lost their positions through tho strike will be a subject of negotiations between tho com pany and the railroad unions. An amicable adjustment of this phase of the trouble Is anticipated. rick Harrison, whose salaries will be about 8400 per year. The county sollcitorship is still In doubt, although there is good ground for believing that William 8. McLean will be given the place. Captured Law Violators. State Game Warden Hugh Malloy re turned home yesterday from an eight day tour of Bradford and Wyoming counties, where he went at the request of the president of the state game com mission to investigate reports of viola tions of the game law 9. Mr. Malloy succeeded in capturing one of the parties of that section who make a practice of buying and selling game. The prisoner was B. B. Cu9ter, a merchant of Laceyville, who was fined 8100 and costs by a justice of his town. In addition evidence against half a dozen others was secured and moro arrests are likely to follow. While In Bradford county Mr. Malloy did some hunting on hl9 own account and returned with an overflowing bag of choice dainties for the family Thanks giving dinner. Don't miss tho second page today.

Robert Frizzle, 14 jeers old, Is dying at PottsTlllo hospital from an accident which oecured on the Pennsylvania Rail road. He was walking the tracks and when tho signalman In the tower, somo distance away, adjusted the switches for a passenger train, Frizzle's left foot was caught between the tongue of the switch and the rail and held as In a vise. He tried to attract the switch man's attention, but bis voice would uot carry to the tower, and he waited, silently watching the train bearing duwn on blm. The engineer saw the boy when the train was right upon him, but was power less to avert the accident. A second later the boy was released from the trap which held him, but the cost of his foot, which was found aftor the train had passed, still firmly held In the switch, the lad's body having been hurl ed forty foot to one side of the track.
