Two Large Crowds.

The Baptist and Methodist Episcopal
Sunday school picnics held at Summer
vile last week were delightful outings.
The grove is splendid place for q
picnic. Wednesday the Baptist school
went down to Summerville, a distance
Of twenty-three miles, over the Alle-
gheny Valley Railway in four coaches
attached to the morning train and re-
turned in the evening. About 375
people attended the Baptist picnic,
Notwithstanding the favorable outlook
for inclement weather before the train
started. BY ten o'clock the "clouds
rolled by" and "Old Sol" did not hide
behind them again that day, giving the
picnicors good day. On Thursday
the MethOdists had no less q crowd
than that Of the previous day and the
weather man gave them an ideal picnic
day from start to finish. Both schools
enjoyed their picnics immensely and
speak In high terms Of the Summer
Vile picnic grounds. They are very
grateful to the gentlemen who have
control Of the grounds for the use Of the

THE MINING SITUATION.
The Miners at Eleanora, Walston and
Adrian Have Come Out.


Adrian Have Come Out.
There has been no change in the
miners strike at this place since our
last issue. but the miners mt Elcanora,
Walston and Adrian have joined with
the miners Of Reynoldsville, Rathmel
and Dubois for an increase In the price
OF mining. Last Wednesday afternoon
a number of men from this section
marched to Eleanora where they camp
ed until Saturday morning and then
marched TO Walston. The miners at
Elcanora did not decide to strike until
Friday night. The Waston mcn came
out Monday morning and the Adrian
men struck Tuesday morning. The men
camped in the woods at Eleanora and
at Punxsutawney they camped on the
fair grounds. Provisions we're hauled
TO them by the wagon load. A load OF
provision was sent from Reynodsville
to the campers at Elcanora Friday.
On Monday OF this week General
Manager Robinson gave the miners Of
Rochester and London mines. at Dubois.
| the following answer In substance, for
their demand for an increase in the
price of mining:
THAT from this date we will pay you
40 cents per ton for pick mining and, In
short, restore all conditions as they
existed when we last paid 40 cents per
| ton. The amount Of work you will get
will depend unavoidably and naturally
upon your own wise and just action"
The Dubois men have not yet decided
to accept the above proposition and it is
not likely that they will go to work up
there until the machine men get an ad-
vance and the matter has been adjust
ed at the other plants Of the J. e. G. G.
& |. Co., however, the miners of Dubois
are to hold a meeting to-day, so we
understand to take some action on Mr..
Robinson's answer to them. As the
above offer does not give an advance
for machine mining the men don't con-
slider 1t favorably because heretofore
the machine men got the largest por-
tion of the work to do. and the men
think II the price of pick mining is ad-
vanced to 40 cents and the machine
work is not advanced that it simply
means that the machine men will get
the work to do at 25 cents u ton and the
pick men will get little or nothing TO
do at 40 cents per ton.
After the company paid the men here
in full and gave them until Tuesday
evening, August 24th to apply for work
or remove their tools from the mines,
there have been no further notices
posted at this place.
