The oxford breaker, which has been
rebuilt by the Peoples Coal company,
will be ready to start up in about
ten days. The new breaker has been
built on the site of the one destroyed
by fire, and is modern in every re-
spect. The work has been done un-
der the direction of Contractor 5. ID.
Kingsley's men, and is considered to
be one of the best equipped plants
in the anthracite coal regions.
The breaker will have capacity OF
1000 tons of coal a day, the sale of
which has been contracted for by the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
conpany. The operators Will also
have retail pockets to supply the To-
cal demand. Thousands of tons OF
unmined coal have been leased by the
Peoples Coal company, which lies In
eight veins, five of which are now
open.
The company expects to employ
about 400 men and boys at the col
liery and former employees at the OK
ford will be given the preference. AL
ready the promoters have over 700 ap-
plications for places on file, and only
experienced mine workers will be en-
ployed.
The mules, cars, props, and other
necessary paraphernalia for working
the mine have been ordered and every
thing is now practically ready for the
start, but some delay has been occa-
stoned by the changing Of one of the
elevators. David Evans, a former
boss at the Briggs shaft, has been ap-
pointed foreman. The operators are:

Du Bois, Pa, Aug. 16.-The entire
works of the Berwind-White colliery,
which belonged to the Berwind-White
Coal company. were destroyed by fire
last night. Flames were discovered
in the boiler house and in a short
time had enveloped the head house
tipple and compressor. Sixty men,
who were in the mine at the time,
were saved by the prompt and heroic
action of Fire Boss John Harrison
and a number of volunteers, who en-
tered the workings at the shaft at
the risk of their lives and warned the
miners of their danger. Good work
by the fire department saved many
surrounding dwellings from destruc-
tion. The loss will approach $1,000

Indianapolis, Aug. 16.- The Liberty
congress of the American League of
Anti-Imperialists, today emphatically
endorsed the candidacy of William j.
Bryan for president. The resolutions
to that effect were read to the con-
vention by Colonel Charles II. Goldman,
of Massachusetts, who moved their
adoption, after stating that the entire
committee of twenty-five had en-
dorsed them. The convention, how
ever, did not adopt the platform as
submitted by the resolutions commit
tee without a prolonged and heated
debate. Thomas NJ. Osborne, of Au-
burn, n. Y, leader of the third tick
ct" movement, offered an amendment
to strike out the endorsement of Bryan
and his amendment was vigorously
supported by several delegates, and
when the previous question was or
dered, less than q score could be mar
shalled to vote against the Bryan en-
dorsement The vote was viva voce,
and its exact result Will never be
known, but the sentiment of the con-
vention was clearly shown as being in
favor of the endorsement of Bryan
as the most effective manner of check
ing the alleged imperialistic policy of
the administration.
The most vigorous opponents of the
Bryan prOnouncement in the platform
were conspicuous members of the
national or third ticket" conven-
tiOn, who were also admitted as dele
| gates to the anti-imperialistic conven-
tion. They were ably led by Thomas
| NJ. Osborne and advocated the Inomi-
| nation of third ticket on the theory
| that their followers while opposed to
| President Mckinley, were not pre-
| pared to accept Mr. Bryan on the
| Kansas City platform.
Colonel Charles r. Goldman and Ed
win Burrett Smith were the chief pro-
ponents of the platform as reported,
| claiming that all political questions
were now subordinate to the one ques-
! tion of Imperialism and that all OPP
posed to the present administration
should unite to overthrow it in the
most effective and available manner
presented. Every mention of Mr.. Bry-
ans name called forth enthusiastic APP
plause.
Speakers Opposed.
The speakers who opposed the Bryan
plank in the platform were received

the delegates, and Chairman ZeisleI
at times had difficulty.
After the adoption of the resolutions
endorsing Bryan the representatives OF
the third party movement met and Sc
lected Thomas NJ. Osborne, of Auburn
N. Y, for permanent chairman ant
Everett Abbott, of New York, for per.
manent secretary. A motion was made
and carried that convention be helt
in New York city. Sept. 8, for the pur'
pose of nominating a ticket.
1t is said that the third party mer
today offered the presidential nomina
tion to Moorefield Storey, of Massa
chusetts, but that Mr.. Storey declined
it. William I. Palmer, of Colorado
was reported to be their choice TO
vice president. The leaders of th
movement said tonight that they eX
pected a large representation at thei
convention in New York on Sept. anC
that candidates for president and vice
president would then be nominated.
Secretary Mize, of the Liberty con
gress, today received a letter from viii
liam Lloyd Garrison, of Boston, pledg
ing the writer's support to Bryan.
