Hazleton, Pa, September 13.-Hazleton
quivers tonight on the edge of a Volcano
Uncertainty is the keynote of the situ-
| alton and the town is sleeplessly await
| ing the dawn of day fraught with un-
known and fearful possibilities. At this
| writing troops are marching on the mines
of Coke Brothers at Eckley, which nest
les in a valley about eighteen miles from
here. kilograms to brigade headquar-
| ters late this afternoon indicated an
alarming condition there. The remote
ness of the situation will make difficult
the securing of definite news from the
scene before morning. The first knowl-
edge of disturbance at the Coke collieries
reached brigade headquarters this morn
ing, when Gen. Goblin received despatch
that 200 miners at Buck mountain,
three miles from Eckley had gone on
strike and began to march on the Eckley
mine. Request was made for detach-
ment of military to avert possible con-
1ict, but before the soldiers could be start
ed to the scene the authorities were reas-
sured by the receipt of second telegram
to the effect that the march had been
stopped and no further trouble feared.
Late this afternoon a third despatch
changed the situation for the worse. It
said the march had been resumed and
carried to the Eckley mines and that
the men there had been forced to quit
work after rough handling by the march
ing men The City Troop of Philadel-
phia, the crack cavalrymen were instantly
the spot they will have to ride over Is
miles of rough mountain roads. The
news has created consternation through
out the district and all the Collieries
are preparing for trouble.
General Goblin has been deluged with
requests for troops, but declares that he
will send none to any point unless an
outbreak really occurs. This is a meas
ure of precaution to keep the soldiers
modified.
Z: The mine superintendents are much
worried. They accept the lesson offered
by the havoc wrought at Conner Jones's
home the other night, and two have asked
the brigade commander to place guards
around their houses, which will be done.
The names of the superintendents are
kept secret.
There is a sensational story afloat con-
cerning conversation overheard on the
streets of Hazleton today, but it should
be accepted with reservation. The story
goes that group of miners were stand
ing on corner when one was heard to
remark: "I've got the material, but
don't know how to mix the damn stuff.

1t is said that the guards were placed

Today has been regarded as the turning
point of the situation because of the
prohibition issued by Gen. Goblin against
the proposed funeral demonstration. A
compromise was effected this morning,
however, and the day passed off without
disturbance. In the meantime, the Coke
collieries were being watched with in
1000 men employed at No. had made
a demand for a ten per cent increase
which was to be submitted to the opera
tors today with the alternative of
"strike.'' From five to seven thousand
men are employed at all the collieries
and it was understood that such o move
ment would bring them all out. Wheth-
submitted today could not be learned, be-
cause nobody would talk. The men were
all at work, but strike talk was rife, and
big meeting at Stockton had been
scheduled for tonight. There was gen.
eral impression that nothing decisive
would be resolved upon at least by tomor-
row which is pay day. with two weeks
mems grievance is that they are on a
lower scale than that paid by any other
company in the region, but the compa-
ny's store feature does not enter into
their case.
Another late afternoon report was
that the employees Of ex-Congressman
Leisenring's upper Lehigh colliery would
go out tomorrow on sympathetic strike.
AS an increase of 10 per cent was granted
on Saturday to the McAdoo men and they
have expressed their intention to return
to work tomorrow. although they do not
expect to remain in more than day un-
der the pressure that will be brought tC
bear by the other strikers. Altogether
an eventful day is in prospect.
At brigade headquarters late, tonight
there was a feeling that critical period
had been passed with the burial of the
dead miners, only to meet condition
tomorrow that may become serious. At

Electric Light as Bait.

William Johnson, who has just re-
turned from Binghamton, N. Y, from
a trout fishing trip to Delaware County,
made a successful experiment with a
number Of small incandescent light
bulbs, which he used as bait He at
tached bulb about the size Of those
used by physicians, to his line near
the hook. Then he made trip up
the stream at night, throwing the
lighted bait into the water, the current
being furnished by pocket battery.
His success was phenomenal.
The fish attracted by the light would
flock around the strange object and
snap at the baited hook. Mr.. johnson
says he has consulted counsel, and
finds that this manner Of fishing is moi
prohibited by the game laws, and ex.
perience satisfies him that it is most
remunerat1ve from fsherman's point
Of view.-New York Press.

In order to understand the extraor-

ers in connection with the conflict
between Greece and Turkey, it must
be remembered that whereas most Of
the enormous national debt of the
Ottoman Empire is in the hands of
French, English, and Austrian boud-
holders, well-nigh the entire state
liabilities OF Greece are held Ger.
man investors. Inasmuch as wal
between Turkey and Greece would

pious that she will do no work on the
Sabbath day was very much annoyed
by the fact that her hens would not as
conscientiously refrain from all labor
on Sunday, but persisted in laying
eggs in disregard Of the biblical in
junction to rest on the Sabbath day.
She was undecided whether she ought
to dispose of such impious and heath

idea struck her OF giving all the egg
laid on Sunday to the church OF which
she was member. She has acted or

WISE WORDS.

Silence seldom makes mistake.
To have a bad habit is to have
hard master.
Some Of our happiest moments are
spent in air castles.
The shortest way to do many things
is to do only one thing at a time.
If you are looking for trouble tell a
woman that her new wrap is unbecom-

A woman's reason may not convince,
but it often puts On end to the discus

Women seem to think that husbands
never have any need to reform their
wives.
The man who goes out Of Office as
pleasantly as he does in is a very rare
individual.
When you are in trouble, people who
call to sympathize are really after the
particulars.
A person under the firm persuasion
that he can command resources virtual
ly has them.
There are others, but people never
find it out until they are married, and
it is too late.
