EntOmbed Miners,

The water in the flooded mine neal
Pottsville. Pa, is being pumped out as
rapidly as possible, but with little hope
Shat the ten men entombed last week by
the rapidly-rushing waters will be found
alive. The water that caused the calam-
ttY broke in from an old working, not.
withstanding the operators had taken
every precaution to prevent such an acci-
dent by constantly keeping drill holes
driven ahead to distance of 120 feet.
The water came through where two men
had been working during the day and
quit because it was too wet to work. An
hour after they had gone home the water
broke in and caught the men working in
the vicinity, with the sad result. Eight
of the unfortunates are Italians and the
others are Americans.

Paris Police May Strike.

A number of Paris policemen have IS
sued proclamation in which they detail
at length their grievances, and threaten
to strike on the eve of May Day unless
their wages are increased. The Anar.
chists are in high glee at this develop.
ment, and some of the more enthusiastic
of them claim that it would take little
argument to induce many of the police.
men to join their ranks. 1t is hardly be.
lieved, however, that any trouble will
occur with the police, as it is thought
that some of the matters of which they
complain will be corrected. In any
event, no apprehension need be felt, for
the government has arranged for the
presence of military force in Paris and
the immediate vicinity that will be
Itrong enough to put down any outbreak
short of general revolution. The police
are believed by many to be taking al.
vantage of the feeling of uneasiness to
make claims that at any other time they
would not have thought of.

A THREATENED TIE UP.
TraInmen Debating a Strike on the Read.
ing Combine.

TraInmen Debating Strike on the Read.
ing Combine.
There are signs of serious trouble on
the four railroads in the Reading COM
bine. The temper of the trainmen is
such that big strike seems inevitable,
and if it comes, the Jersey Central. Le-
high Valley, Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western and the Reading itself will be
tied up more effectually, it is predicted
than any American railroad has even
been. The cause of the alleged dissatis-
faction is the wholesale discharges Of
men, "in the interests of cheap coal, "
and the reputed antagonism of Pres.
dent Mcleod, of the Reading, and the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
The engineers complain that, steadily
but surely, reductions in the train forces
are being made which amount almost to
sweep. In round numbers, it is said.
sixteen freight and eleven passenger
trains, in consequence of the combine,
have been withdrawn from the Lehigh
Valley and Jersey Central. This means
that twenty seven engineers. twenty
seven firemen and large numberof con.
ductors and brakemen have been thrown
out of employment. The men claim
that in these reductions of force the
Company has unjustly Disseminated.
A greater grievance, though, is the re-
ported utterance of President Mcleod
that he would get rid of all labor organi-
cations on the combiued roads at any
cost. Further, it is alleged that Presi-
dent Mcleod has caused engineers en-
ployed on the combine lines to be notified
to abandon the Brotherhood or leave the
employ of the Company. The Jersey
Central engineers held special secret
meeting in Jersey City which was at
tended by men from all along the line
the road. The Brotherhood is very strong
on the Jersey Central, Lehigh Valley and
the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern, and have gained firm footing on
the Reading.
Officials of the engineers organiza.
tions deny that any trouble exists be.
tween the Reading road and its EN-.
ployees, or that strike is contemplated
by the latter.

Americans Only I'm the NAVY

Secretary Tracy has issued an order
chat hereafter none but American citi.
zens shall be appointed to places in the
navy yards or in the civil forces in that
department. An investigation made by
the secretary revealed the fact that there
are now employed at some of the navy
yards foreign draughtsmen who have
only lived in the United States a year OF
little more. These will now be dis
charged, and those swho have been in
the country long enough to be natural.
ized, but have not become citizens, must
either do so at once or quit the service.

wood, Pa. The girls were put to sleep in
a patent folding bed, the top of which
from some cause fell over during the
night, thus imprisoning the occupants.
By the force of the fall the spring catch
locked, making it impossible for them to
raise the lid which confined them within
the narrow space. They tried to raise
the lid, but their efforts had no effect.
The noise of the fall of the bed awoke
Mr. HotZ, who rescued them.
