WOMEN AS WORKERS
NEW SORT OF MISSIONARY WORK
AMONG EMPLOYEES. $5,.S
A Big Move Will Probably BE Made
on Wednesdny-The Plans Pro-
pose q Direct March Through the
Territory Where Mines Are Be-
Ing Operated Until Clearlield
County Is Reached Camps Will
Be Left mt De Armitt's Mine.

L
company las discovered new sort of
missionary work among it's employees.
Wives Of many Of the campers are in
the field now. They have been arriv-
ing for several days. They are scat
tered about through the Plum, Sandy
and Turtle Greek settlements. The
women are from Mcdonald, Carnegie
and Wheeler division sections, and,
while the men: are at work, do mis-
siOnary. work among their wives. They
have access to the WOrkmens homes,
but the men are denied this. The pro-
posed campaign against the mine own
erS of West NOreland county and the
operators Of Central Pennsylvania,
which has been delayed is now an as
sured fact. The strike leaders de-
cided on it definitely at d camp con-.
ference, and big move will probably
be made next Wednesday. The whole
affair will be considerably on the Or
der of the famous Coxey common
veal tour. AS already constituted, the
plans propose direct march through
the whole territory where mines are
being operated, until Clearfield county
is reached. Camps will be left at each
of tile De Armitt mines at Cannons-
burg, at Bunola and any other place
that may seem necessary to keep the
mines closed which appears before the
crusaders leave. The leaders estimate
that with what will remain behind In
the camps at least 5000 men will be
kept constantly in the movement. A
military code for the government Of
the army will be formulated before the
movement is started. President Dolan
says that with any kind of system

quiet and the men peaceable. Efforts
are being made to introduce beer and
whisky at Camp Determination by out
siders. This has been going on for
two or three days, and some of the
strikers had been taken down to East
Pittsburg and filed up on all the beer
they could drink. The danger Of this
to the miners cause is fully realized
by the labor leaders, and q sharp look
out is being kept to find out who is re-
sponsible for the efforts to get the
strikers intoxicated. -,
To-day is pay day at Sandy Creek,
and the report has it that in addition
to the contracts already signed the
men will be asked to place their sigma
lures to still stronger and apparently
more binding one before drawing their
envelopes. Those who Dc not see fit
to sign this will, it is said, there and
then be given the privilege Of resign
ing. .

noticed two negro men loatng around and
notified them to leave. They neglected to do
SO and after repeating his request he laid his
hand upon the shoulder of one of them when
the negro Immediately struck him. This
seemed to have been !; preconcerted signal,
for Mr.. James was Immediately surrounded
by gang of negroes of both sexes, who rushed
at and assaulted him with fists, stones and
whatever they could lay their hands on as
weapons. Deputy Sheriff, William J. Forsythe

The Hartford County c. E. Convention will
meet October Nth aud 18th in Churchville
PRESBYTERIAN Church. The County Executive
Committee has decided to make this dele
gated convention, and the local societies will
be requested to name four delegates and four
alteruates their representative. This
means that only the four accredited delegates
from e&ch society will be provided with enter
tainment at the convention. 1t does not,
however, prevent others from attending the
sessions of the convention, but if they attend
it will lie well FOR them to carry along basket
with their lunch. The officers find that with
unlimited delegations to provide lunches for
is too much of a tax upon the convention

seventy to two hundred persons will be pro-
yided for, which includes speakers, ministers,
delegates and county officers.

Mysterious Disease.

Considerable uneasiness is being manifes-
ted in almost every part of this county over
the approach OF a new disease among horses,
wh CHI, although at present has not become
general, still every care is being taken TO
prevent it from spreading. Particularly so is
there much concern felt in the Second district
in the vicinity Of Lapidum, where the disease
has made its first appearance on the farm OF
Sheriff Ambrose Cooley, who has so far lost
four valuable work horses and fifth one is
likely to die at any moment. Sheriff Cooley
was interviewed on Monday on the subject
He stated that while everything that came
to his mind had been done to solve the disease
as yet it remains a mystery. He further said
that the first symptoms Of the disease was
noticed about two weeks ago by the horses
refusing to eat and becoming weaker and are
finally stricken with paralysis, which caused
them 10 fall to the ground in heap just be-
fore death.
Three of the horses died last Wednesday
aud the last one last Friday. Mr.. Cooley had
Veterinary Surgeon w. G. Seigmund, of Bati-
more to come to his place for the purpose of
making an examination into the nature Of
the disease. State Veterinarian A. w. Clement
also made visit to the farm, and after look
rng the animals over decided to take the
brains and part Of the stomach of one of
hem to Baltimore for examination.
The examination showed an inllamed and
congested condition OF the stomach, sugges-
tive of death by poisoning. 1t is believed on
the part of number Of representative farm
ers that the horses have eaten some poison
Gus substance while in the pasture fields. The
report current that it may have been caused
by the polluted water is contradcted, as the
farm is situated in healthy part of the coun-
ty and the same disease has often appeared in
the high lands Of The county where the water
is of the purest quality.
1t is alsD thought by some to be the same
disease which b is OF late been puzzling the
farmers on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.
Many of the farmers here have become much
alarmed, land in consequence are keeping their
horses and cattle in the stables and feeding
them on dry food. Further examination into
the disease is being made, which has SO far
bAiiied the skilled veterinarians.
