Babylon Colliery Is Idle.

The employees at the Babylon col
liery, Duryea, operated by Simpson IL
Watkins of this city, refused to go
to work yesterday morning and in
consequence the coliery has been shut
down indefinitely.
The cause of the shut down is a
difference between the company and
paid. Heretofore the employees have
been paid according to the number of
cars loaded each day, but the men want
to be paid by the gross ton.
The docking system which is in
vogue is detrimental, they claim, as
they are unable to earn a fair days
wages after paying the laborer, pow
der expenses, etc.
The employees communicated their
grievances to the operators on Sat
urday. but no action was taken, and
in consequence of this the men refused
to go to work yesterday.
Messrs. Simpson and Watkins could
not be seen yeste lay, but it is under
stood nothing will be done by them in
the matter. The colliery will be shut
down until the men are ready to go
back to work.
1t is thought however, that the mat
ter will be amicably adjusted, as no
attempt will be made to employ other
men and in consequence there will not
be any disturbance around the mines.

RICE AND SARA BERNHARDT.
His Impersonation Made Big Hit
with Her.

William Henry Rice, the distin-

William II. Vests Big Minstrel Jubi-
lee, which appears at thu LyCcum next
Friday August 4. had quite an anus
ing experience some years ago with
Sara Bernhardt, the famous French
actress. During the divine Sara's first
engagement in New York city, some
years ago. Mr.. Rice attended one of ner
performances and subsequently ap-
peared in a parody of it. His imper-
sonation of the great emotional actress
was one of the decided hits of the day.
The matter came to the ears of the
French actress, and she decided to sec
Rice's performance, She was so de-
lighted with his burlesque of herself
that she requested an introduction to
him and sent him an invitation to visit
her in the box. On the following day,
as token Of her appreciation, she sent
him as a souvenir a rare and beautiful
emerald ring, which it is needless to
say Mr.. Rice counts as one of his most
priceless possessions.

DEMURRER IS FILED.
Another Step Taken In Asphalt Re-
pair Litigation-Bonds of Tax
Collectors Filed.

Attorneys a. A. Vosburg and |. II.
Burns Yesterday filed demurrer to
the bill in equity filed on June IA by
II. Campbell and William Farrell
against the Barber Asphalt Paving
company. the city of Scranton, and
Esdras Howell, city controller.
The bill asked that the ordinance
for the repair of streets be adjudged
unlawful, void and of no effect; that
the contract attempted to be entered
into by James G. Bailey as mayor of
the city with the Barber company be
adjudged and dccreed null and void.
The demurrer filed to this bill is as
follows:
Defendant demurs to the whole Of
the plaintiffs bill and sets forth as
follows the specifications of the rea-
sons why the specifications Of plaintiffs
bill are not sufficient to entitle plain
tiffs to the relief prayed for
"First-The contract Of Dec. Il, 1898,
as set forth in plaintiffs bill is not
in force having been declared defec-
tive by this court in the case of e.
Morris VS.. city of Scranton ct al. The
contract of Jan. 81, 1899, which is in
force is not set out in plaintiffs bill
and therefore no facts are shown to
Justify this court in declaring the same
illegal.
"Second-The bill does not show
wherein plaintiffs as taxpayers nave
sustained or will sustain injury.
"Third-The bill sets forth no viola
ton of law by defendants or any of
them.
"Fourth-The allegations of the bill
are irrelevant. vague and indefinite and
form no valid basis for a decree as
prayed for"

Holden Not Shut Down.

The report that the Holden mine of
the Lackawanna company would be
abandoned yesterday in the event that
an amicable agreement was not made
between the company and Isaac B.
Felts was untrue.
The mine for the present will be
worked and there is no likelihood of
an order being issued to abandon the
mine.
When seen by a Tribune man yes
terday superintendent LoOmis of the
department of mining and real estate
said:
THE Holden Is working and will
continue so. For some time past we
have been decreasing our force, but
this is not an indication that the mine
will be abandoned. However, nearly
all the coal of our property that is not
disputed by Mr.. Fets has been mined
The breaker at that mine is badly in
need of repairing and the loss would
not be great If we are compelled to
suspend operations when our coal there
is mined"

Miners Ordered Out.

The miners employed at the Susque-

to work in the morning they did not
comply with the topping order issued
last week which required them to have
a sixteen-inch top on when the car left
the breasts and siX-inch when it ar
rived at the breaker.
Mr., Tonkin asked them whether they
intended to obey the order and when
they informed him that they did not,
he promptly told them to leave the
mine and take their tools with hem.
Mr.. Tonkin says the men will not be
permitted to return to work until they
agree TO obey the topping orders.
