Advertising for slim ers.

PITTSBCRG. PA. .. November For
the first time in Years coal operators
are advertising for miners. Work in
the mines has been so scarce that
many OF the diggers quit the trade.
Now that the sound money victory has
STATED boom in the iron and steel
mills. coal operators find they have
not enough diggers to meet the de-
mand for fuel. To-day Henry Floer-
sheim, the Fin!eyville operator, said
he would put on more men at his Not
tingham and Germania mines, and
they will both Ue operated to their
fullest capacity. He had received a
number OF orders from rolling mills
contingent upon the election of
Mckinley, which he will now pro-
ceed 10 i'll.

talS time Of the year work has always
been slack al the Monongahcla River
mines. owing 10 the lack Of empty
barges and loads. This year. how
e,er. water has enabled the operators
to bring the empties back from the
southern ports, and there will be
steady /, aiding for some time. This
will prevent the railroad operators
from drawing on the river miners for
additional men, and the only way to
get them is to advertise for them.
Three hundred miners employed by
the Miller Run Coal Company are
on a strike for higher wages.

by a correspondent showed that addi-
tional statesmen were put on to meet
the demands of shoppers. The mana

said to-day's sales would exceed those
of any one day of this year. People
who had been boarding money, he
said. in anticipation of hard winter,
were now spending it. In addition to
those reported, a number of idle man

John L. VIM b with Us.

Rock Island expects to have no
less q parsonage than John L. Sulli-
van for Sunday sojourn. A special
train will bring the company. which
is to appear at Harper's theatre in
the evening, over from Peoria on the
r. I. & P. road. The last time Sui
livan was in Rock Island he made
q spectacle of himself at the hotel
by his unbecoming conduct, and in
an Indiana town the other night he
was accused by the audience of being
intoxicated. This occasioned an offer
of $500 by Sullivan from the stage
for the person who had made the
accusation-but he did not ascertain.
1t is hoped John L. will be on his
good behavior while in Rock Island
this time. Otherwise it may be nec-
essary to appoint Otto Rudert a
committee of one to call him down.

Four Lives Lost in an Explosion at Gen.
tralia CoIIiery.

Three men lost their lives by a
boiler explosion at the Centralia
Colliery early Saturday morning and
fourth was expected to die in a few
hours. Four boilers out of group
of sixteen exploded and all the others
were dismantled, resulting in loss
of $500
Andrew Monchok was instantly
killed John Sanity and Joseph
Kubick have since died of their in
juries and Matthew Lesher is so bad
ly hurt that he cannot live very
long. Joseph Bolinskie was seri-
ously hurt, but is not considered in
any danger.
The men were in the boiler house
at the time of the explosion. Lesher
saw steam issue from a crack in the
middle boiler and realizing that an
explosion was imminent shouted a
warning, but before any one could
reach the open the blow-up occurred.
Sanity and Kubick were blown
seventy-fve feet away, while Lesher
landed but a few yards behind them.
The remainder of the men lay in
what remained of the boiler house.

At a o'clock Wednesday afternoon,
very pretty wedding took place at
st. Matthews Lutheran Church, when
Mr.. F. E. Kirk, of Watsontown and
Miss Mary Frymire, daughter of Mr..

were made husband and wife. The
ceremony was performed by the Rev.
McLinn, in the presence of large
number of friends of the contracting
parties, who came from Wilkes Barre,
Watsontown, Milton, Danville, Ber-
wick, Sunbury and other places. The
maid of honor was Miss Martha
Frymire, sister of the bride. ]. M.
Staver, of Bloomsburg was best man.
The bridesmaids were Miss Low, of
Lime Ridge, and Miss Mexican, of
Newark. The church was nicely
trimmed with flowers. The bride was
attired in beautiful costume Of white
silk. The groom wore the convention
al black. The maid of honor looked
very pretty in costume of white
swiss trimmed with buff satin ribbon.
After the ceremony was over the
wedding party proceeded to the home
of the brides parents on East Street,
where the large number of invited
guests partook of an elegantly prepar-
ed wedding supper. The happy cou-
pie left on the 6:ao train on the d. L.
& w. Railroad for an extended trip,
after which they will take up their
residence at Watsontown. We join
in wishing them a long, happy and
prosperous voyage on the matrimon-
ial sea.
