Twin Shaft Relief Fund.

The trustees of the Twin Shaft Re-
lief Association met in the Board of
Trade rooms at PittSton on Monday
afternoon. The important business of
the meeting was changing the plan of
distribution. When the original allot-
ment was made the relief fund approx
mated $500, but since that time the
receipts have made the available fund
$1,000. This increase justified the com
mittee in making more generous dis
tributionS, so after some discussion it
was decided that relief should be award
ed female children until the age of Is
years, and male children until IL wears
respectively.
Miss Kate O'Malley. sister of Dominic
OMalley, one of the uentombed, was
awarded the sum of so month, and
Miss Lynott, sister Of NJ. j. Lynott, was
also voted beneficiary of the fund, re-
ceiying the sum of IS per month. The
association is manifesting unsellish work
in constantly and carefully looking af-
ter the wants of those dependent on the
entombed miners.
