include the cutting down of the build

A splendid performance in every re-
spect, was the universal verdict of the
audience which assembled at the opera
house last night, and witnessed the
show given by Pat Maloney, and his
coterie of fun-makers, in one of the
merriest programs we have had for a
long time. That clever team, Wylie 4
Sanford, were first in evidence, and
with up-to-date stories, interspersed
with good singing, put the audience at
ease, then left the stage for Ned West,
black-faced monologue performer, who
contributed an entertaining number,
and in turn was followed by the
Werners in laughable Dutch act, in
which they gave great satisfaction with
their songs, jokes and dancing.
Following them came Lottie Luella,
who rendered charming negro melodies.
Cushing & Merrill next introduced a
highly successful number entitled 1.-The
Maniac Bert Kimball gave a clean
cut scene in veutriloquism, devoid of
vulgarity, then gave way to the Zereeth
trio in medley act, in which buck and
wing dancing and contortion work,
played prominent parts and gave pleas
ure to their auditors. Besides these,
Albert's superb art tableauX were a de-
cided feature and pleased immensely.
1.-The Irish Visitors" was the after
piece, and in this the famous Pat
Maloney, the much heralded comedian,
more than substantiated his claim as a
purveyor of Irish wit, being ably sup
ported by the entire company Troy,

COAL FAMINE COMING.
COMPANIES UNABLE TO SUPPLY THE
ANTHRACITE DEMAND.

Situation Is Assuming Alarming Fea-
lures at Tidewater Points-Independ-
ent Operators in IA ke-Believe Fight
Against the Coal Trust.
| In case there is any change in the
! condition of the coal trade it is in the
direction of more pronounced scarcity
accumulated by a growing demand
which is not by any means counter
balanced by IA proportionate increase in
the production. The conditions tend to
increase the apprehension at tidewater
points that the coal situation is assum-
ing alarming features, with no apparent
way of avoiding what is termed coal
famine before the winter is very far
advanced. Where coal is needed the
question of price is secondary con-
sideraton.
The natural consumption is coupled
with an extra demand on the part of
dealers, who are anticipating the prob
able wants later in the season and are
purchasing all possible supplies evidently
to be sold before long at prices consider
aOly ABOVE tnOse now ruling.
The coal companies are refusing to
take large orders for shipment in De-
cember and it is rumored that an
advance of 25 cents ton on all sizes
of anthracite will be made on Friday
next, December /.
The meeting on Thursday of the An
thracite Coal Operators Association at
New York is laughed at by the big
magnates of the trust. The independ
ent operators claim to control 100000
tons, or one-third of the annual output,
and they pledged their support to the
new road from Kingston to tidewater.
The independent operators, however,
live in fear of Morgan and his allies of
the combine, and no amount of resout-
ing on their part will be considered
anything more serious than part of
the stock jobbing scheme that it is.
The anthracite output is controlled
absolutely by the trust, and since the
death of the late Eckley b. Coke there
is not man among the individual
operators who has the courage to seri-
ousIy attempt to break its power.

COM MPARISON
Desperate Nanticoke Women,

The third riot of the women of Nanti-
morning, and it was so serious that the
sheriff has decided to have 200 deputies
on hand hereafter. Burgess Burnett
has sworn in twenty strikers as special
officers to guard the town. The first
disturbance occurred in the morning at
Honey Pot. The company notified the
sheriff that the women had refused to
let fireman living there go to work
and had surrounded the house and held
him prisoner Two deputies were sent,
but they were unable to get near the
house, and returned to report their
failure. The women had not attempted
any violence, but had merely shouldered
them away.
Then the sheriff with three men went
to look after the matter himself The
women greeted him with hootings and
yells, but they did not oppose his ent-
rance into the house. The sheriff told
the man to proceed with him, and they
got outside and to within twenty feet of
oh' Suoi iih bttolt blt WOultu
stayed their progress. Then they
pulled the man back and pushed the
sheriff and the deputies out of the way.
The sheriff then read the riot act to
the women, telling them that they we're
violating the law, and that he could
arrest them all and send them to jail.
AT this the women were impressed and
decided to disperse. In the meantime
the man had fled back to the house
and would not stir when the sheriff told
him there was no danger.
In Nanticoke the women gathered as
early as O'Clock to prevent any of the
men from going to work. Fearing trou-
BILE, the sheriff sent deputies out to
escort the men from their homes. Fire
man John M. Conway and Deputies
Bird and Regan were the first to APP
proach the mine, and the women
crowded around them and pushed the
men and deputies off the road.
Believing that they were about to
escape, one of the women threw a
mixture of pepper and lime at Conway,
and part of it struck Regan in the face
also. The men only received little of
it in the eyes, but became frantic with
pain.
Bird darted at the woman who, he
thought, threw it, and with the help of
his companions rushed her into the
mine office, where she was guarded by.
the full force of deputies. She was
taken under guard TO Wilkesbarre and
taken before Alderman 'Kemmerrer
He held her in $1,000 bail, and it was
furnished by Felix Novitsky, friend of
the strikers. The woman is Mrs. Mary
Washcavits, the wife of a striker

MINES AND RAILROADS.

Samuel Sloan, for many years presi-
dent of the Lackawanna Railroad and
now chairman of its board of directors.
has succeeded to the 10000 shares of
Lackawanna stock said to belong to the
estate of the late Moses Taylor, of
Scranton. For some time past spirit
ed rivalry has been going on between
the Sloan and Vanderbilt factions to
obtain possession of this stock The
possession gives Mr.. Sloan the balance
of power. 1t is known that he does not
approve of the methods adopted by
President Truesdale and his staff in
conducting the affairs of the company.
The dismissal from the service of many
of the men who served faithfully under
the old administration was in itself
peculiarly distasteful to Mr.. Sloan.
On December /, it was announced on
Thursday, the Lehigh Valley Coal Com
pany will discontinue the company
store" business in the Lehigh region.
In this district there are three stores
where the employees of the Lehigh Val
ley have their orders honored, Jeanes-
vile, Yorktown and Hazleton. These
stores will continue to do business, but
on different basis 1t is said that the
company will adopt the same policy in
the Schuylkill and Northumberland
districts.
The Lehigh Valley is making prepa-
rations to build new bridge above
White Haven and thus take out two of
the most dangerous curves known to
railroading. Beginning at the east end
of the bridge, the company will also
build double track siding as far east
as Hayes creek.
The cipher code issued by the Freight
Claim Association, prepared by the com
mittee on uniform blanks and adopted
at the eighth semiannual meeting, gives
the ciper word Renowned" to represent
the Lehigh Valley Railroad.
The steady work at the mines
throughout Schuylkill county has re-
suited in an unusual number of fatali-
ties at the mines and is the means of
crowding the Miners hospital at Ash
land.
James L. Roderick, chief of the
Bureau of Mines and Mining, is confined
to his home in Hazleton with illness.
Mr.. Roderlck was stricken suddenly i'll
while at Scranton few days ago.
Further settling of the undermined
territory at Luzerne has occurred.
The affected district now covers several
acres and from fifty to seventy buildings
have been damaged.
Silver Brook colliery is idle because
of strike inaugurated there on Friday
by the employees. 1t is thought that the
strike win be OF short duration.

Against the State Council.

In the issue between the national
council of the Junior Order United
American Mechanics and the state
council of Pennsylvania, wherein the
latter refused to pay the fixed per capita
tax to the national organization, the
supreme Judiciary of the order has
rendered an opinion sustaining the
national council and in the event of
the refusal of the state councils here
after to pay the tax, ordered their ex-
pulsion.
The trouble arose from decision
made by the state council in Scranton
in September last, when it refused to
pay the national per capita tax of Is
cents, claiming that the state council
could be maintained at 8 cents per
capita rate. When this decision was
communicated to the national council
that body at once suspended the char
ters of the 963 councils in PENNSYLVANIA,
with membership of 200, 900, and or
dered trial.
1t is the opinion of number of mem
bers of the order that split is newt
able.
