TWIN SHAFT TO RESUME.
II Will BE Ready for Business Within
aFew Weeks.

Pittston, April 90.-It is probable that
the Twin shaft of the Newton Coal
company will go on nearly full time
about the middle of May, and produce
the regular output of coal. The com
pany has had men at work for some
time making improvements. Cox's
shaft, the new shaft, is being sunk one
hundred and fifty feet deeper than
originally intended, in order to strike
the Red Ash vein, which will be
reached tomorrow, it is expected.
Two planes, one 1000 feet long and
the other 400 feet, have been driven
and new fan has been erected. These
improvements will allow the company
to get out coal without approaching
the dangerous parts of the mine.

Funny Requests For Books That Amuse

Once in awhile the clerks in the pub

looking about aimlessly through the in

She wrote her request for the books On
one Of the cards provided for that pur-

took others.
'The boy, only nineteen years old, who
had drank the cider, began a quarrel
with another young man, and before the
Others realized what was taking place
had killed his companion, and he was
the son OF Il widow. The boy, only nine

of cider
