MINERS' TROUBLES.
Friction Developed at a Large Number
of Collieries on Saturday.
Saturday again brought forth a num
ber of disputes between operators and
miners in various sections of the region.
Notices were posted at all the Reading
Company's collieries in the Schuylkill
district in the morning requiring em
ployes to work nine hours on Saturdays.
Some of the bosses further informed the ;
mine workers that if they did not work j
the nine hours they should consider
themselves discharged. At the Indian
Ridge colliery of the Reading the em
ployes quit at noon, aud also at Packer
No. 3 colliery of the Lehigh Company.
All other collieries quit at seven hours.
Notices bearing the signatures of the
chief officials of the company were also
posted Saturday morning at all the col
lieries owned by the Lehigh Valley Com
pany throughout that region requesting
the men to work the nine-hour day ou
Saturday the same as the rest of the
week. At half-past 2 Saturday after
noon, which marked the end of the
eight-hour day, the men laid down their
tools and quit.
At Mahanoy City colliery the bosses
attempted to stop a stampede of the
miners who quit work at the end of
seven hours in spite of the nine-hour
order, but they were swept aside.
The driver boys employed at No. 1
Red Ash colliery, VVilkesbarre, are on a
strike and operations at the mine have;
been suspended. The boys claim that
they are compelled to go to work at 6 30
o'clock in the morning and continue
until 5 o'clock in the afternoon, with
only a half hour for dinner. This, they
al'ege, Is nine and a half hours, and for
this they are only paid for eight hours'
work.
Fifty men employed In the Laurel
Hill colliery of the Lehigh Valley
Coal Company, at Ha/.leton, went on
strike Saturday morning. Previous to
the award of the Strike Commission
they were obliged to work nine hours,
in which time they had to load three
cars of coal for a shift. Since that
time they believe they should work one
hour less and claim it is impossible to
load that number of cars.
The joint meeting of the throe district
executive boards of the United Mine
Workers, called for today at Wilkes
barre, has been postponed until to
morrow, on account of National Presi
dent Mitchell not arriving until this
evening.
Discharged the Fireman.
From the Huzletou Standard.
Thomas Holland, employed as fi/eman
at Stockton No. 7 for Coxe Pros. & Co.,
was discharged on Saturday by orders
of Superintendent Kudlick, who has the
exclusive management of this particular
colliery of the Coxe operations. Holland
was discharged because he refused to
work on Sunday At this colliery as
applying to the firemen the award of the
Strike Commission is not being observed.
Instead of having three shifts at the
boiler house there are but two, and the
night man Is regarded as a watchman
and works fourteen hours for a shift,
while the man employed by day works
ten hours for a shift.
Holland was employed by day and had
every Sunday off since the award went
into effect on April 1, but was requested
to work yesterday, but refused and for
this reason was discharged.

RAILROADS.
To avoid damage from floods, the
tracks of the D. S. & S. Railroad are to i
be relaid between Gum Run and Tom
hicken. The new roadbed will be placed
several feet farther up the mountain
side than at present. The tracks now
run alongside a creek, the waters of
which give the railroad company much
trouble at certain times of the year.
Employes of the Lehigh Valley's
Freeland branch are anxiously awaiting
the announcement of the spring time
table. It is said that further retrench
ment will be ordered, while others firm
ly maintaiu that the branch will get
back some of the trains which were re
cently abandoned.
Pardee & Co. propose to do extensive
stripping near Cranberry, along th •
present route of the D. S. & S , and the
tracks will have to be removed a con
siderable distance. A large amount of
cutting and grading will be required
for the new roadbed and part of a very
large slate bank must be removed to
give the railroad a new route.
A new timetable went Into effect on
the Wilkesbarre and Hazleton Railway
yesterday. The principal change Is the
addition of another train for Wilkes
barre, leaving Hazleton at 0 a. m.
Will Retain Control.
The question of retaining control of
the Grand opera house or leasing it was
settled yesterday afternoon by the
Young Men's C. T. A. B. Corps, the
owners of the building. The sentiment
of the members was practically unani
mous in favor of retaining control, and
this was the final decision of the society.
J. J. McMenamin, the present manager,
was re-elected to the positiou for the
season of 1903-1904.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
season opened very late, the showing
made by Mr. McMenamin aud the
board of directors has been excellent
and the society feels that it is more
profitable to continue its present plan
than to lease the property.
Held a Short Session.
An adjourned meeting of the borough
school board was held Saturday evening
with Directors Brogan, Buckley, Boyle,
Isaac, McGeebau, Timony and Slattery
present.
After some discussion on the question
of extending the length of the term a
motion was made to reconsider the
board's action last August, when seven
months was fixed as the period for tho
schools to be open.
The motion received the votes - of all
members present, excepting Director
Isaac, who voted against it. Falling to
secure a majority vote of the whole
board, the motion was declared lost,
after which the directors adjourned
Daniel Kugler Buried.
The funeral of the late Daniel Itfiglor
took place this afternoon from the fam
ily residence on Blrkbeck street. Ser
vices were conducted by Rev. J. J.
Kuntz. after which tho remains were
interred at FreelaLd cemetery. Mr.
Kugler died Saturday morning after an
illness of about one month. He was
aged 79 years and is survived by a wife
and the following sons and daughters:
Mrs. Joseph Hinkle, Upper Lehigh;
Mrs. J. L. Metz, Ashley; Mrs. John
Wido, Wilkesbarre; John, Frank and
Louis, Freeland, aud one step-son, A. J.

A Sweet Breath
is a never failing sign of a healthy
stomach. When the breath is bad the
stomach is out of order. There is no
remedy in the world equal to Kodol Dys
pepsia Cure for curing indigestion, dys
pepsia aud all stomach disorders. Mrs.
Mary S. Crick, of White Plains, Ky.,
writes: "I have been a dyspeptic for
years—tried all kind of remedies but
but continued to grow worse. By the
use of Kodol I began to improve at once,
and after taking a few bottles ain fully
restored in weight, health and strength
and can eat whatever I like." Kodol
digests what you oat and makes the
stomach sweet. Grover's City drug store.

An attractive stranger will visit this
town on Thursday evening, when Miss
Mabel Pennock, supported by the new
Baker and Gibson Company of metro
politan players, will appear at the
Grand opera house In what Is promised
as a sumptuous revival of "East
Lynne," the version to be used being
that prepared by the late Ada Gray,
who appeared In it more than 7,000
times. One is not accustomed to hear
of "East popular as It has al
ways been, being revived in handsome
fashion, with regard to either scenery
or dresses, but we are told that this
production consists of four artistic sets
1 of scenery and that the women in the
cast will wear gowus made from the
! very latest Parisian modes.
X X X
Many a tragedy takes place in the
groat mining regions of Pennsylvania,
particularly at tho time of a great
strike. One of those is brought out in the
successful American comedy-drama,
"The King of the Coal Fields," which
the people of this town will soon have
an opportunity of witnessing. Love,
hate, treachery, heroism and bravery,
all are found in this play. As Is gener
ally the case in real life, right aud
virtue triumph in the end. The men
who fought for their homes and man
hood in the anthracite strike are shown
I in the mid9t of the battle, and the
' sympathy of the audieuce is always
> with them.
A Successful Affair.
The first annual ball and banquet
conducted by tho Crescent Athletic As
sociation on Friday evening was an oc
casion which gave great pleasure to the
ono hundred couples who attended.
Tho festivities b i gan at an early hour
at Kreil's hall, where DePierro's orches
tra supplied dance music until shortly
before midnight, when the members
and their lady friends marched to the
Osborne hotel and partook of the ex
cellent menu which had been prepared
for them.
Con Welsh was toastmaster and filled
1 the position most creditably. A number
' of the club members entertained the
assemblage with songs, addresses and
recitations, after which all returned to
the hall, where dancing was continued
until a seasonable hour.
The affair was the most auspicious
ever held by the club and the members
and their friends are justly proud of the
successful manner in which It was con
ducted.
Popular Mountain Park.
That rustic resort, Mountain Park,
Is becoinming more popular each year
and the picnic and excursion parties
hooked for the coming season exceeds
In number'those of former years. The
Park has been put in excellent condi
tion by the New Jersey Central and
many improvements made. It is the
Ideal resort of the region hereabouts
and the bookings are being made by J.
S. Swisher, D. P. A , Scranton, to whom
application should be made at an early
date for reservations and information.
Due Notice is Served.
Duo notice Is hereby served on the
, public generally that DeWltt's Witch
Ilazel Salve is the only salve on the
market that is made from the pure,
unadulterated witch hazel. DeWltt's
Witch Hazel Salve has cured thousands
of cases of piles that would not yield to
any other treatment, and this fact has
brought out many worthless counterfeits.

appointed, because it cures. Grover's
