Philadelphia, Oct. Ian offer Of an
increase Of ten per cent. In miners
wages was to-day made by the Phila-
delphia and Reading Coal and Iron
Company, and this move, 1t is stated,
will be followed on Tuesday by siml-
lar notices at every colliery In the an
thracite region.
1t II expected by the OPERATOR that
this increase In wages will be salts
factory to the men, and they believe
many strikers will take advantage Of
the offer and return to work. Mining
operations will, in this event, be given
an impetus, and the operators expect
there will then be a gradual resump-
tion until the collieries will again have
their full complement Of employees.
The Philadelphia and Reading Com
pany operates thirty nine collieries, and
of these twenty-seven have been shut
down owing to insufficient working

Whether the miners will accept the

that the mine workers will follow the

CLARENCE HOOKER INJURED.

Run Into by a Bicyclist on orange
Street and Seriously Hurt
Clarence Russell Hooker, the Oldest
son of the late Frank FL. Hooker had
a narrow escape from a very serious
injury last night about o'clock. He
was returning home from the broker
age firm of H. c. Warren & Co.. where
he is employed, and when at the cor
ner of Orange and Trumbull streets,
within half block of his house, he was
run into with great force by bicyclist
turning into Orange street from Trum-
bull street
Young Hooker was struck with such
violence that he was thrown very heav-
lily on the asphalt landing on the back
of his head. He was carried to his
home in a semi-conscious condition and
DIR. Benjamin H. Cheney was hastily
summoned. When DR. Cheney arrived
he at once saw the seriousness Of Hook
er's condition, and everything possible
was done for him. After working over
the patient for over an hour he was
gradually brought-to, and it is thought
now that he is out of danger.
The corner of Orange and Trumbull
streets, where the accident occurred,
was the scene of shocking accident
about two years ago, when the only
son of prominent New Haven family
was almost instantly killed by being
thrown from his bicycle against the
curbstone. The corner of Orange and
Trumbull streets is one of the most
dangerous in the city, as the bicyclists
who make Orange street a speedway
are constantly shooting UP and down
Trumbull street, apparently going at
full speed and having no regard for
pedestrians crossing the streets at that
point, Narrow escapes are continually
occurring at the junction Of these
streets, and it is somewhat of a wonder
that many more serious accidents have
not been met with.

Rcpublicun Nnt'l Committee Not In
flnemcrsi In the Conteatn by I.rndrrs

| Philadelphia, June 1.-THE republic
can national committee put in three
long sessions on the contests which
have been brought before 1t and adj
journed late tonight with all of the con-
troveTsies practically disposed of except
that from Delaware. This has been re-
ferred back to the subcommittee with
instructions to again endeavor to bring
the factions to basis of agreement and
will receive final action tomorrow An
important action to-day was the seat
ing of the BroWnlow delegates in the
Tennessee contest, and refusing admis-
sion to the friends of Pension Commits
sioner Evans. The contest was very
bitter and a. one time there was the
possibility of a serious encounter be-
tween Brownlow and Evans.
Quite the most interesting feature of
the day was the speech of Senator Han
ma in the Delaware case. Senator Han
ma was earnestly anxious to harmonize
the factions in Delaware and his speech
before the committee to-day urging
another attempt at agreement showed
his feelings in the matter The action
of the committee in the various contests
has caused it to be generally remarked
that. it has not been influence in the
least by the leaders. Senator Hanna
friends from the south, especially the
office holders, have received scant con-
sderation. Where there were rival fac
tions of officer holders as in Alabama,
both sides have been denied seats

tongues in evident delight. Then they
would alight on my finger as | held 1t
out, and eye me with approval, and al
| low me to go to sleep again if / wished,
| later perhaps, following me down stairs
| to sit on the sugar bowl and be RECALLED
| with more nectar.
Delightful as were these pets it was
manifestly hard fate to be imprisoned
SO near the flowers and growing YER
dure, and SO it came about that the
hummers obtained their liberty. Soon
after a humming bird pre- emptied a
tWig on an orange tree near the door,
and he is cycling me now not four feet
distant, his neck a blaze of golden red.
When not on the twig he is buzzing
about the bushes or driving away visi-
ting hummers, of which there are doz-
ems hence Bob is kept busy. AT this
moment, as though he knows what I
am writing, and wishes to emphasize 1t,
he has dashed--a blaze Of light-so near
my head that | can feel his wings.
Now he alghts and eyes me curiousy;
now darts upward to chase a big flut-
tering butterfly, coming back again with
a plunge, and sitting upon twig with
the leaf of an Abyssinian banana as
background--so effective bit of color
that I fancy he is posing, the fiery
CLEAN of his breastplate as he turns
this way and that showing to the great
est advantage.
Bob is musical, and in January, when
sitting in my study with the door open,
he began what was his courtship. His
singing was constant, 'seee-s eet-seeee-
s-e-e-et,'' when sitting, and this became
so insistent loud and endless that it
became monotonous, and I decided to
break 1t up. The only weapon at hand
was the hose, and I turned the fine
spray upon him one morning in the
midst of particularly noisy serenade.
But Bob interpreted my attack as an
invitation, and dived down from his
perch in the orange tree and repeatedly
darted through the spray, delighted at
the opportunity to battle a my expense,
completely turning the tables on me.
To see this radiant, scintillating, living
gem flashing in and out of the spray
was a charming spectacle indeed and I
resigned myself to fate and made no
more attempts to evict Bob, who; is
chattering his thanks or his laughter in
my ear as I write.
His courtship was a wonderful per-
Torrance, and was a combination of
song and high and lofty tumbling for
the benefit of demure female who
perched on a neighboring branch. Sud-
denly, without warning, he would dart
upward with the velocity of an arrow,
attaining great height where he
seemed mere speck in the empyrean;
then poising for a moment he came
down like a meteorite, cutting the
trembling air like knife, producing a
most curious whistling sound. When
within a few feet Of the earth he rose
fifty feet, fluttered a moment,
then repeated the swooping score of
times, and as feat of aerial gymnas-
tics it was a remarkable exhibition
which doubtless made deep impression
upon the demure hummer at whom it
was directed.-Professor Charles Fred
erck Holder in the New York Tribune.

MR.. BOB WHITE.

There are many old and interesting

this bird which attends the transition
from one season of the year to another.

First Cavalry Monument Spoken of for
Hubbard Park.
Members Of the First Connecticut
cavalry will hold their annual reunion
in Norwich in August, when final action
will be taken as to where the cavalry
mems memorial will be erected, says the
Meriden Record.
This organization will purchase a
costly monument with the state appro-
priation allowed for that purpose. The
sites spoken of were: In South Meri-
den, where the local battalion was
organized, but water now covers that
camping ground. Another location was
in Hartford on the Capitol grounds, but,
as forty other regiments would want
the same privilege the state officials
had to oppose that proposition.
Hubbard park is the place now under
association will vote to accept the Mer-
iden site, as whole battalion was or
ganized there.
The First cavalry, originally a battal-
ion Of four companies, was organized in
West Meriden on the present Hanover
park site.
The cavalry left Meriden February.

son W. Lyon commander, with three
hundred and forty-six officers and men.
The following May the battalion Joined
General Schenck's brigade, and it took
part in fight with Stonewall Jackson
in Shenandoah valley. In Baltimore a
full regiment of twelve companies was
recruited. During eleven montha the
regiment saw constant battle service
and made a proud record.

A BAD ACCIDENT PREVENTED

BY the Presence of Mind of n Motorman.
serious accident was narrowly averted
last evening about o'clock at the corner
OF Bradley and State streets. A bicycle
rider was riding up State street and Just as
he reached the corner of Bradley another
rider came out of Bradley street riding at
u lively rate of speed. The one riding out
of Bradley street ran into the rear wheel
of the other mans bicycle, throwing the
rider of the latter mancbine to the pave
ment between the rails Of the car track and
directly In front of trolley car No $50 of
the Fair Haven and Westyille road The
pedestrians and bicyclists in the vicinity
who had seen the collision of the wheels
thought surely that the PROSTATE rider
would be ground under the wheels of the
car as the car was 50 close upon him
when he fell that it seemed to be impos-
sibe to stop it before the wheels struck
him. The motornlan, however, with great
presence Of mind and admirable skill
screwed on the brakes hard and turned off
the current and stopped his car when the
front wheels were only few inches from
the PROSTATE man. Patrolman Healy
helped him up and asked his name but he
refused to give, and limped away appar-
emily not seriously hurt. The bystanders
complmented the motorman highly on his
presence of mind which prevented fatal

FOR THE VICE PRESIDENCY
NO CRYSTA OF SENTI-
MENT, As PET, ON my MAN.

Not Relished-It Causes Boom IN
Doiliver's stock - Secretary Long
: Position Causes Comment-Nood ruIT'
| Candidacy.
Philadelphia, June 15.-Speculation
gossip and informal conferences to-day
among national committeeman and 9th
er leading republicans who are here
have failed to indicate a cryst9llizatior
of sentiment around any individual as
candidate for the vice presid
nomination. Neither Senator Hanna
nor those who are close to him give any
intimation that the administration has
a choice.
The number of debates who viii
vote for any man that the administra-
ton favors seems to accentuate the
general impression that the nominee
will be the man most satisfactory to
the president. IF you would take us
into your confidence on this vice presi-
Dental matter it would simplify the
situation greatly and give us an oppor-
tunity to do what the president would
like" said the prominent republican to
the senator made was, You know all I
know about it
Senator Hannas only observation ON
the situation to-day was that until the
different delegations arrived and there
was an opportunity for them to consult
no conclusion could be reached. Sena-
tor Platts talk of Odell of New York
caused a little hutter here, and Doli-
yer stock took an upward turn about
the same time, the cause being the i'm
preston that in case Odell should he
pressed by New York there would be a
concentration on the Iowa congressman
by those who do not favor the New
Yorker
The candidacy Of Lieutenant Govern
or woodruff of New York who arrived
to-day is still being kept In evidence by
his friends, but apparently without any
backing from the republican managers
and with the disapproval of Senator
Hanna.
When questioned tonight regarding
the statement made by Senator Hanna
that Mr.. Woodruff was not satisfac-
tory candidate for the vice-presidency,
the latter said; Had I any intimation
from the administration that my cam
didacy was not desirable / would not
have allowed my friends to support me
to the extent they have" Mr. Wood
ruff was asked If he would continue as
a candidate in the event of the New
York delegation failing to support him.
He replied: There will be no such
event" s1s
1t is generally believed that Senator
Allison has made II. plain that he will
not be a candidate under any circum-
stances.
The position of Secretary Long causes
considerable comment, and it is being
freely asked why the Long candidacy
should proceed so far unless it had the
tacit consent of the president. The fact
that Mr. Long Is a member Of President
McKinley's cabinet gives riss to wide
spread belief that the secretary of the
navy will finally receive the support of
the administration. If such is the case,
however. 1t is being carefully kept from
view. AS the matter stands tonight it
would seem that Long, Dolliver and
Fairbanks are the leading possibilities
as for vice-president."
