As long as the promoters of the pro-
posed new anthracite coal road are
manifestly concentrating their efforts in
the direction of constructing the line,
the matter will be one of some prom
inence, especially among people con-
nected with the anthracite coal in
dustry, including the roads that carry
the coal as well as the trade end of the
business.
There is suspicion among some of
the leading officials of the coal roads
that the new line may not be construct
ed at all In any event it is about
certain that it could not be put into
operation before at least two years. Ii
is maintained that If the plans are ex-
ecuted this new road will require more
money than it would take to secure a
good interest in some of the other roads.
1t is a wel-known fact that the
strong interests at the back of this
enterprise has never appeared as a dis.
turbing factor in the trade and it is
reasonably certain that they will con
tinue to do business on the same profit
able basis in the future as they have
been disposed to do in the past.
The new road, If built, will be operat-
ed with a view to making mouey, the
same as all other roads, and there is not
the slightest probability that those in
control would sanction any procedure
which would result in decreasing their
own profits. In trade and financial
circles it appears to be foregone con
clusion that the new line, in case it is
built, will not cause any disturbance in
the matter of freight rates or even
lower the price of coal at tdewater.
$l50 a year is all the TRIBUNE costs.

Verdict of Coroner's jury.

The jury empanelled by Deputy Cor
oner Bowman to inquire into the cause
of and fix the responsibility for the
grade crossing accident at Cranberry on
November 90, met on Friday evening
and, after two hours deliberation,
agreed upon the following verdict:
Emma Goedecke and others came to
their death on November 20 at the
Cranberry crossing of the Lehigh Val
ley Railroad Company by being hit by a
Pennsylvania Railroad train, known as
train No. 49l.
And we, the jury, do further say
that, from the circumstances of the case
and the evidence offered, we do censure
the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company
for not maintaing proper safeguards at
this crossing.
"And we, the jury, do further say
that we censure the driver of the CON
veyance for not taking special precau-
tions for the safety of his passengers in
approaching this crossing.
And we, the jury, do further saw
that there was such strong suspicion of
unlawful violence at the hands of per-
sons unknown to the jury as to make
this inquest necessary.
Joseph Koeher, William f. Mumaw.
Arthur j. Evans, |. r. Hutchins, C. f.
Pfeil, Albert Zboray."
The Pennsylvania Railroad was not
censured at all, so it is presumed that
the accident was not the result of any
negligence on the part of the crew of
the train which killed the occupants of
the coach.

death was due to suffocation from de

YOUNG MANS DEATH.
John G. Mathers Died Saturday Morn

ing-Funeral Took Place Today.
A few minutes after o'clock on Sat.
urday morning John Charles Mathers
son of Mrs. ]. Mathers, died at the
family residence on Centre street, after
an Illness of more than a month. Death
was due to a complication of diseases,
princinal among which was liver trouble.
Less than week ago the young mans
condition was greatly improved and
hopes for his recovery were indnlged in
by his family and friends, but the i'm
provement proved to be only temporary
and death claimed him on Saturday.
John Mathers was a young man for
whom the community entertained a
high regard. He was employed In the
store of E. j. Edwards & Co. at Drifton,
and his courteous manners and polite
ness made him favorite with his
patrons as well as with all his acquaint-
ances. His death, following that of a
brother who had almost reached his age
a few years ago, comes all the harder
for his mother to bear, since he was
about entering manhood's sphere. He
was born in Drifton on November 2,
1850, and was therefore aged 10 years,
month and days.
The funeral took place at $50 o'clock
this morning. The remains were taken
to St. AIMS church, followed by large
number of friends and acquaintances,
and requiem mass was read, after
which the interment was made in St.
AIMS cemetery

A crusade was started in the Catholic
churches in the Shamokin region on
Friday by priests against the big
threatened strike. More than 1900
United Mine Workers attended the
churches on that day, which was a holy
day and was generally observed in that
region. The principal address was de-
livered by Rev. Joseph Koch, vicar
general of the Harrisburg diocese, and
pastor Of St. Edwards church, Sha-
mokin. He said:
SIN the thirty-four years l have been
among you, | have had considerable ex-
perience in strikes, and you know that
in every one the workingman has been
the loser, and the community the suffer
er. My advice to you today is, don't be
led into sympathy strike. This ad-
vice comes from a friend, for | have
always been willing to stand by you and
work for your interests so long as they
have been for peace and for right and
just purposes. speak to you today for
your own good, and appeal to you to
keep out of a strike.
I'm all my experiences | never heard
of pumpmen being called out in strike
as at Nanticoke. 1t is all important
that they be permitted to keep al work

men, for work is not there for them if
they want to go back. Because leader
of the United Mine Workers made this
blunder, he wants you to stand by him
to satisfy his ambition and pride. He
wants to make five thousand families
destitute and bring ruin to the COM
munity.
"lf strike is ordered refuse to obey
and if necessary you had better leave
the order that would bring this ruin on
your head. The only way to adjust a
grievance is by arbitration and going
about it in a cool, deliberate manner
| am and always have been a friend of
the workingman so long as they fight
for just principles and peace, and if in
the future you have grievances and
desire my services to help adjust them
come to me and, as always, you will find
me ready to work and intercede for
your best benefits"
The priests address caused big SEN
sation with the men and public and, it
is thought, will avert the strike in that
region.
President John Fahy, of the United
Mine Workers, of the Schuylkil district,
gave notice that the meeting of officials
of the sub-districts scheduled for Friday
night had been postponed until further
notice. The move was occasioned by a
desire on the part of the mine workers
to await the result of the business mems
attempt to settle the strike at Nanti-
coke before going out hore.
The proposition of Nanticoke mer-
chants that the strikers induce the
present pumpmen and firemen to leave
their work and pay them until other
positions can be secured has been re-
jected by the men and the struggle con-
tinues without prospects of settlement.
