VIII Strike.

a dispatch from Altoona says: At
mass meeting held in PhilipSburg on Tues
day night representatives of over
three thousand miners in the Clearfield
district decided to strike September Ist un-
less an advance is made in the price oflow-
grade coal mining and a change made in
the check -weighman system. resolu-
tion was also adopted calling on the men of
the PunXsutawney district, which adioins
the Clearficld district, to stand firm for de-
mandS of the same character, which they
have presented to the operators. In the
PunXsutawney district alone there are ov-
er three thousand men. The men in both
districts have submitted a number of griev-
ances and will go out as one man, as they
are thoroughly organized.
The Berwind Company, which will be
principally affected. is known 10 have an
an order to supply the New York
Central railroad with 10000 tons of coal
within specified time, which leads the
miners TO think they will have an easy
victory. The company declares that il viii
hold out against any advance or change.

The Bar Of the county is called upon again
to mourn the loss of one of its able and
successful mem bers. George NJ. Reade,
Esq. having departed this life on June 90.
1892. Mr.. Reade was admitted to the
Cambria County Bar on the sth of Octo-
ber 1871. At the time of his admission
the way Of young lawyer was a hard
one for ne had to com bat such able men as
Judge Thomas White, John G.. Miles, II.
ID. Foster, William Banks, Robert l..
johnson. and others: some of whom were
i'm the zenith Of their power and practice
a lawyers at this bar: and others, who by
an adherence 10 the principles of the pro-
feSsion Won place in the legal history of
our courts. He entered the field with an in
dOmitablc will, fiXedneSs Of purpose and
a resolution 10 fight the battle. He was "A
close student all the days Of his profess
ional career, and was seldom confronted
in the trial Of a case with legal PROPOSE
tion which he was unable To answer and
support 10y authorities HIS practice was
a large and varied one and his industry.
ability and zeal in behalf of his clients Sc
cured him lucrative one. He possessed
one of the largest and finest law libraries
in Western Pennsylvania, and il was his
delight 10 sit among his books and gain
pleasure and profit from their contents.
His greatest legal contests were not con-
fined TO the courts of this county alone; he
was well known in the Supreme Court of
the state, and i'm the United States Courts.
He was for many years the honored Pres
ident OF our Bar Association, and at the
time of his death Chairman of the EX

family an affectionate father and brother.
Resolued, that a copy ofthis memorial be
presented TO the Court of Common Pleas
Of this county with request that the same
be spread upon the records, and that a
copy oe suitably engrosScd ami trans

OF hard service over a rough, noun
tainous country tells even on the best
piece of mech anism. About five miles
out tire came off. Bibbs was in his
element. Broad trees overshadowed
tho road and the birds caroled among
them. He and the driver took the
wheel off and laid it down in the sand.
After two hours of hard work the tire
consented to go on. As Bibbs raised
himself from his STOPPING posture over
the wheel, flushed and heated, he
caught Jemmima seyc. She was sitting
on mossy bank weaving a wreath OF
May apple and heart leaves as placid.

lar bank. She nodded and smiled How
disgusting some fools can actl" roared
Bibbs.
When within twenty miles of the
railroad one of the horses gave ont, and
it was getting late. The driver who
had been pulling at a black bottle all
day crawled off under tree and said:
"Sich as is In hurry kin go on, I'm
tired of this" No persuasion could
aronse him. An OK team camc along
on its way from the sawmill, which
took them to the nearest farmhouse.
The next morning the farmer too
them to the station, and late that night
