Strike on the South Side.

A large number of employees of A. S.
Van Wickle at the Coleraine colliery
struck on Monday morning, and as a re-
suit the works are tied up. They de-
mand the reinstatement of a workman
who was discharged last week. A
meeting OF the Hungarian workers was
held on Sunday evening in Beaver
Meadow, when it was decided to strike.
Pickets were stationed at all roads and
paths leading to the collieries and the
employees on their way to work were
turned back. Another force was sta
toned at each colliery to see that work
was not resumed. The Englsh-speak
ing miners were not in favor of a strike,
but have gone out with the others.
About / 900 men are affected by the
strike.
The company's officials state they will
make no concessions to the strikers, but
will close the works II sufficient men
cannot DO secured to run them. The
men, 1t now appears, have more griev-
ances than wero made public In the
beginning and intend to hold out in a

There is only one way to euro deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
eustachian tube. When this tube gets
inAamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed deafness is the result, and un-
less the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrah, which is nothing but an in
famed condition Of the mucous surfaces.

While being lowered in Greenough
shaft, Shamokin, Monday night Peter
Doyle's right hand was entanged in the
carriage machinery. The bucket con-
tanning number of his friends contin-
ued downward while he danglcd in
space. His hand had become so tightly
wedged in the rests that it was impossi-
BILE for him to fall. Every second he felt
that his arm would be ripped from the
socket by the weight of the body. His
companions as soon as the bucket reach
ed the bottom signaled to the engineer
to hoist. After period of five minutes
the bucket bumped against the swaying
form of Doyle. He was senseless. His
mangled hand was released, after which
the miner was removed home.
