The Homecoming correspondent of
the Cumberland Ne~S is in state of
concern. He wants to know
What about the new school house Are
we going to have one, or is it merely word
work and no wood work Let lis keep on
agtating this matter and not he fooled
another year,
There need be no apprehension
about this matter. This is the year
for monumental arguments in behalf
of retaining the current school man
agement in full force and virtue. A
new SrhoolhouSc at Homecoming is in
dispcnsable this year. because it is
needed to be pointed at as a result of
conservative" methods.
Yes. correspondent, YOU will get the
SchoolhouSe, if it takes ten per rent. of
all the out-of-town teachers salaries
to build it.
Don't fret.
We must have it to he pinted at.

THE Cumberland NetcS got the Times
Thursday morning in Il way that is
rugged. 1t published in parallel col
umns Mr.. Ingalls, eulogv of j, n.
Burnes, of Missouri. and the Times
eulogy of Philip Fl. Welsh, of Penn
sylvania, and the unusual fact was
disclosed that no two men ever drew
so strongly upon the same panegyric.
Mr.. Ingalls, address was delivered
Monday: the Times editorial publish
ed Tuesday.
Mr.. Ingalls, probably will not de
muir. but if he should. it will be in or
der for his contemporaries to reproach
him with counsel> of silence. unity
and harmony, and that his so-called
'discovery" was no great shakes any
how.

\ CoRRESPONDENT elsewhere calls
attention to a matter just now agitat-
ing the minds of residents on Main
street near the upper margin of our
metropolitan plateau, Several old
frontages in that neighborhood stand
far outside the proper building line,
and it is desired that measures be in
stituted to cure both the inconven-
iencc and unsightlincSS ocrasioned by
the protruSion. People in that quar-
ter have considerable pride in the
architectural and landscape appear
anceS surrounding them. and it seems
only reasonable that Il wish which ter
inmates IN proper ornament to the
town should be gratitied, if it be pos
Sible to do so. This is especially true
when it is proposed, we understand.
to do no injustice to those who occupy
the treSpasSing premises. In any
event, let both parties be reasonably
liberal.

Yours very pcrpexedly,
THE dimensions Of sQuib will not
suffice, hut the JOURNAL will be brief

Our friend mistakes the JOURNAL,
and perhaps the Times also, when he
speaks of the centennial matter as a
"discolcry." Certainly it has not
been SD regarded or claimed at these
headquarters.
The issue has becm-who first Sy-

HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.
Thrcc Men Crushed by a Fall of Slate In n
Quarry.

Thrcc Men Crushed by a Fall of Slate In n
Quarry.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.I
BELLEFoNTE, November 29.-One of the
most horrible accidents that has ever oc-
Cured here happened to-day. About IL
o'clock the news went around that
two men were killed at Morris
limestone quarry. Upon investigation
it was found that the drill gang,
composed of Frank Gallagher, Joseph
Mayes and James Noon had been buried
under fall of slate. When taken out it
was fousd that Mayes' head was cut COM
pletely of, his hand nearly so, and many
bones broken. Gallagher was found with
the whole top of his head mashed to jelly
and legs broken in several places. Death
was instantaneous with both of them.
Moons head and right leg were cut and
badly bruised in many places.
The quarries belong to A. j. Morris, of
Tyrone. The cause is supposed to be the
recent heavy rains getting in behind the
overhanging slate, and the sudden change
to frosty weather last night loosened il up,
and the men in drilling this morning dis
lodged it.
Frank Gallagher lived at Howard, Pa, is
50 years old, married, and leaves a widow,
four children and mother aged 90, of whom
he was the sole support. Joseph Mayes
lived at Hollis Hollows, Boggs township,
this county, is 50 years old, married, leaves
a widow andsive children. james Noon,
single, about 26.

SOME OF THE MINES AT WORK.
Both River Miners and Operators Are Con-
tent TO Remain Idle.


Beth River Miners and Operators Are Con-
tent TO Remain Idle.
There is not any probability of the differ
ence between the river miners and the
operators being adjusted to any general ex-
tent this side of spring. The feeling among
the largest operators is rather in favor Of
continuance of the present inactivity, for
they make the double claim that the mar
kets will not allow of an increase in the
rate, e,and that they have three months sup
ply of coal ahead.
Meanwhile there are at least ten mines in
operation, five in the Fourth pool, and five
in the lower, in all of which the increased
rate is being paid. Munhall Bros. COM
menced operation at the beginning of the
week, and are paying the increase. They
have about eight or ten boats to load. A
well-known leader among miners said yestsr-
day that the rivermen could as well afford to
hold out until spring, as to go to work at
per cent and 2 cents. When spring came
the operators would be obliged to yield to
the demand.
The meeting of miners delegates to be
held in knights of Labor Hall on next
Tuesday is for the purpose of organizing al!
the men in the Pittsburg district. The call
has been issued BY the Mansfield L. A: at
the instance of one or two of its leading
members.
Shipments to the lake points has closed,
and the years trade is'reported to have been
anything but profitable to operators. Be-
tween 200, 900 and 800, 600 tons less of coal
have been sent forward this year than last,
falling off which is explainable partly by
the shortage in the car supply, and partly
owing to the fact that in consequence of the
mildness of last winter, dealers and con-
sumers generally had large stock on hand
when the years business commenced in
