Testing Coal

An apparatus by which an engineer
may test or determine the quality and
adaption Of the coal be receives is de-
scribcd in the Boston journal Of Com
mercc. The Test is not intended 20 be an
analysis, but principally TO show the
amount Of fixed carbon in tho coal and
the percentage of ash. as each carload
is received samples are taken from 20 or
more parts of the car, thoroughly mixed
and quartCrod each quarter being also
mixed and quartered until the sample is
obtained. This sample is then carefully
weighed tho volatile matter driven of,
weighed again, and the carbon consumed,
and the ash weighed This estimate is
important in guarding against the use
of coal having an undue percentage Ct
ash. The various Goals differ in The rcr-
centage Of ash hich they contain, sor.e
Cumberland Goals having irCm 2 60 a
per cent Of ash, while a good low river
will have as low as 3 CT per cent
Thus though the Goals may icok alike
to the average engineer, the beat ya.ge
characterizing them is lOpcr cent great

In answer TO the appeal the woman

Then she changed her mind and trotted
TO the front end Of the car Here she
climbed up and camo in the front door.
Tho conductor snapped the bell, and the

herd with crook in hand and cloak
thrown loosely over his shoulders.
in the church of st. John, at Pisa,

The evening herald. [volume] (Shenandoah, Pa.) 1891-1966, 1897-07-28

As if the voters of the county did not
have enough trouble to decide upon who is
wanted for Sheriff this year, some fellow of
an inquiring turn of mind claims to have
discovered that either or both political
parties have the right to nominate two Jury
Commissioners, and elect them, too. Here
tofore the man lucky enough to get the nom
ination was certain of election and was in
dependent of the county committee of his
party, and has resulted in his refusal to con
tribute to the campaign expenses when the
contribution would come in handy. The
suspicion appears to be well founded that
somo campaign manager was interested in
making this startling discovery, which, how
ever, stops just short of giving each voter
the right to vote for more than one Com
missioner, as the language Of the act of log
islature relating to the election contains the
following proviso Provided, that each of
said qualified electors shall vote for one
person only as Jury Commissioner; and the
two persons having the greatest number of
votes shall be duly elected the Jury Com
missioners for such county.

OPERATORS
In Conference rndeavOring to Effect an
Agreement.
MANY OPPOSED TO UNIFORMITY.
The Labor Leaders at Wheeling and the
Representatives of the Mines at Pitts
burg The Miners Awaiting
the Outcome.

Pittsburg. July -Eighty-nine coal
companies mines located in the Pitts
burg district were represented at the
coal operators uniformity meeting here
yesterday. The operators who ship by
river and those owning mines in the
Westmoreland field were not present.
The river operators held a meeting at
the coal exchange this afternoon and
decided to take no part in the uni
formity movement. No attention was
paid to the call by the Westmoreland
people. Very little was accomplished
at the two sessions. The old uniform
ity agreement. with the new clauses
inserted, were reported on by a COM
mittee, and the meeting today will take
up the agreement by clauses for dis
cussion. Where changes in the condi-
Hons since 1896 warrant different pro-
visions committees will be appointed
to draw up clauses that will cover the
points at issue The only sensational
incident of the days sessions occurred
when Colonel w. p. Rend presented a
minority report on the uniformity
agreement, denouncing the procedure
of the meeting In severe terms and
boiling the conference.
At o'clock the committee reported
the uniformity agreement with the
new clauses and preamble prepared by
the visiting arbltrators.
There seems to be considerable dis
satisfaction with Mr.. DeArmitt's an
nouncement that the conference has
no connection with the strike, and
merely for the purpose of establishing
uniformity Many of the operators
think. with Colonel Rend, that the
meeting should devise some means to
settle the strike as Well as to provide
for uniformity.
Reports to the miners officials from
throughout the district show every
thing quiet. All plans are being held
in allegiance pending the action Of the
conference.

Struggle FOR Banners.
SHAMoKGN, Pa, July 2s.-Polish and
Savonio members of st. Johns Society
buried a member yesterday, when a quarrel
ensued for the possession of flags and banners
near the grave Stones, clubs and red pepper
were freely used. Father Miciki telephoned
for officers, who stopped the row.
About two months ago a disruption was
caused in the society and ever since there has
sprung up the two factions, which are greatly
embittered against each other. The deceased
was Polish man. but belonged to the society
and also st, Stanislaus church.
Soon as the burial ceremony was concluded,
there seemed to have been concentrated
scheme formed before hand by the members
Of the society who attended the Slavish
church, as with a mad rush they endeavored
to wrestle the sacred banner from the hands
of the man who held it above the open grave
Then there was a fierce battle. Women
hurled stones at their opponents and theil
male friends and enemies fought wildly
while others sought shelter from the flying
missiles behind head stones The one woman
who had come prepared for the aflray
dashed in amongst her enemies and threw
red pepper in their eyes. By this time the
cooler heads present, together with the priest
stopped tho racket. The Slavish church
faction, however, failed to secure the banner
after the desperate struggle.
