moval Of the latter official The change

doah City and Indian Ridge collieries, and
Mr. George Scott will be the division super
intendent.
J. P. Mcdonald will be district supernten-
dent Of the Suffolk, st. Nicholas, MaplesHill
Ellengowan and Knickerbocker oollieries
The Schuylkill and North Mahanoy COM

NO STRIKE
THIS TIME
Sudden Termination of a Sensational
Move at HOneybrOOk.
SUPT. JONES HAS HIS TROUBLES.
He Laid on About Two Dozen Men and
Several Hundred Quit Work in Sym
psthy with the others-All
Are at Work Again.

Quite stir was occasioned in this region
and elsewhere yesterday by a report that the
miners of the Hazleton region were about to
go on strike. Some newspapers got hold OF
the rumor and the zeal with which they put
together the stories they CLEANED concerning
the affair led many to apprehend that the
new year would open with serious labor dis
turbances.
From information CLEANED at Honeybrook,
the seat of the troubles that led to the ex-
citing rumors, it appears that the affair arose
from a Misunderstanding. number of men
were laid off because the company had de-
cided to suspend work at part Of some
strippings for the balance of the winter and
other men refused to work because they took
the suspension as a discharge Of union men.
All the men, including those suspended
have resumed work and no more trouble is
anticipated = ssssss
The trouble was at the Honeybrook strip
pings of the Lehigh & Wilkesbarre Coal Com
pany. From investigation made yesterday
it seems the men are not content with the
treatment they have been receiving. For
some time after the last strike they said
Jones was courteous to every cmploye. but
of late he has begun to drift back to his
mean methods of running the works with
fist and mouth instead of brains The
stripping men said that one by one they were
being discharged and new men imported.
The climax came yesterday when 25 Hun
garians and Italians were discharged for not
reporting for work on Monday, including
the driver whom Jones assaulted when the
strike Of last September was preCpitated,
and whom he had agreed not to discharge at
the settlement Of the assault and battery
case which the young driver brought against
him in the Sphuylkill county court The
fact that the driver was among the men laid
off gave color to the report that the suspen-
sion was directed at union men.
The employees to 2 man resented the dis
charge of their fellowmen and the hOrney
handed sons of toll laid down their tools and
quit work. The first pit to strike was the
No Honey Brook stripping, and in short
time every stripping worker in that district
was of the premises and no amount of par
leying on the part of the men who caused
this and former troubles could induce them
to return. The collieries without this
source of supply were unable to work,
committee representing the different
classes of strikers called upon Supt Jones
LAST night at his residence and he stated
bsitively there was no scheme about the
= halter as he merely meant to suspend them
for period, because they did not report off
to their foreman the evening previous to
their remaining from work. He said he had
orders to shut down the strippings for the
winter, but would only suspend two pits and
agreed to take back the men and settle every
grievance satisfactorily.

champion pugilst of the world:
James J. Corbett, dissatisfied with

reason why the arrangement should not
be speedily consummated, for you, in
my presence, at Carson City. gave Cor
bett your word of honor that IL you
ever entered the ring again you would
give him first chance. He will not
agree to meet Maher, Sharkey or any
one else. He claims the chance that he
gave you-the right to win back the
title Of champion. He clearly proved
himself in your class on March II last,
and 1t was only by the greatest kind
of fluke that you are now titled cham
pion and do not believe that you will
ever forget until your dying day the
beating that he gave you then"

Of Pottsville, but because of his physical
condition he deputized Frank Bertram to
make the registration. This the respondent
claims was not in compliance with the law
and was therefore illegal. The respondent
wants the entire vote of the ward thrown
out on this ground, and has been urging
the court to hear argument on the motion

not been here at one time since the sessions

fused to hear argument. There was some
discussion on this subject yesterday and it
was decided to hear the argument this morn
