nThe Man From MeXicn. y

1.-The Man From Mexico" which
Walter e. Perkins and his comedy com
pany will present at the Grand opera
house tomorrow evening, promises to
furnish one of the most enjoyable even
ingS of fun and laughter ever provoked
by stage performance. In fact this
comedy enjoys the reputation of having
made more laugh within the past two
seasons than any half dozen other
comedies combined. Its previous tours
have been limited to the larger cities,
but Mr.. Perkins is now making a gen
eral tour with it and is presenting it in
the same thorough and artistic manner
that characterized its performances in
New York, Boston and elsewhere.
1t has become, unfortunately, COM
mon for managers to cheaper and cut
down expenses when productions are
transferred from the larger cities to the
general tour, but Mr.. Perkins claims
the distinction of keeping "The Man
From Mexico" right up to the high
standard of excellence fixed in its
original production in New York city.
1t will be presented here by high class
company of comedians and will have
the aid of special scenery and appoint
ments.

The "Shanty" Habit.

Some people are unable to overcome
the "shanty" habit Their home may
be commodious and equipped with all
the conveniences of the modern age, yet
they are not content unless the unused
portion of their lot is covered with
numerous dwarf-like structures, erected
for purposes which sensible people make
provision for in the main building.
Freeland borough authorities, it was
thought, were free from this habit, but
such seems not so. A foundation is
being laid along the alley in the rear of
the Municipal building for shanty No.
/, to be used as tool-house by the
street commissioners force. This
shanty will be little more pleasing
to the eye than the average rear-of-t the.
lot building, but it will, nevertheless, be
more or less of an eye-sore and will de-
tract from the appearance of the hand
some three-story structure which has
just been completed. H
1t is to be regretted that those in
charge cannot find accommoda tions for
the street commissioners outfit in the
large basement OF the Municipal build
ing and leave the unused portion of the
lot unoccupied, as is customary around
public buildings, thereby enhancing the
appearance of the premises.

CLASH AT ONEIDA.
Deputies and Strikers Meet in Mortal
Combat This Morning.

At $50 o'clock this morning clash
occurred between marching strikers and
deputies at the railway crossing near
the Oneida colliery of the Drifton cor
porations. The following are the VIC
tins:
KILLED.
Ralph Mills, deputy, of Beaver
Meadow.
WOUNDED.
John Keooner, deputy, bullet in fore
head; taken to Hazleton hospital
Edgar Kudlich, superintendent, of
Drifton, head cut by stone.
Mike Like, striker, bullet in abdomen;
condition serious.
Oneida is located in Schuylkill county
and is somewhat isolated from the
ordinary means of communication, con-
sequentiy nothing definite could be
learned until late this afternoon, when
the Tribune received information that
the clash occurred with the above re-
suit.
The strikers were men employed at
Oneida and are residents of that town
and Sheppton.
The deputies were on locie train
during the trouble.
How the trouble began could not be
ascertained up to the time the Tribune
went tie press.

MAY NOT ACCEPT OFFER.

The general impression is that there
are entirely too many questions at issue
to be decided off-hand by the conven-
tion. In the Schuykill and Lehigh re-
gions the $3.50 and $5 sliding scales
have long since become an unfair basis
for wages, so the miners claim, and they
want these scales either abolished or
readjusted. What was equitable and
honest in 1S72-74 is not so today.
In the Lackawanna and Wyoming re-
gons the mine workers also have griev-
ances which a 10 per cent advance of
uncertain tenure will not remedy. They
want check weightman at the mines
mouth, and are willing that this mans
wages shall be paid by the union.
In all the regions the strikers want
an agreement, which will insure them
that whatever the basis of settlement
may be, it will continue for one year at
least. They want semi-monthly pay
ments, and they want some guarantee
that the number of pounds they must
mine for one ton shall not be increased.
They also want the number of cars al
lotted to each miner to be the same, so
that favoritism will be reduced to q
minimum.
Another demand of the strikers is

PREPARATIONS
Intense Interest in Miners
Big Gathering.
Strikers May Not Accept
the Ambiguous Offer of
the Operators--Many Mat
ters to Be Considered.

The convention of the miners called
to meet at Music Hall, Scranton, on
Friday morning, as announced in Mon
days issue, is the principal topic of con-
versation throughout the anthracite
region. The local unions of the United
Mine Workers are electing delegates on
the basis of representation suggested by
President Mitchell, one delegate for
each 100 mine workers on strike, each
delegate to have vote for each 100
strikers represented by him.
Interest in the convention is intense
President Mitchell and his associates
decline to discuss the matters in detail
that are to come before the convention,
but Mr.. Mitchell has said:
"An effort is certainly going to be
made to adjust matters, and | hope the
struggle will end soon. The calling of
the convention is simply to give the men
an opportunity to express their views on
the present state of things. 1t does not
mean, necessarily, that the strike will
be called Off"
BY virtue of his office Mr.. Mitchell
will preside, but he will merely present
the situation to the men and await their
action. Beyond this no formal pro-
gram has yet been arranged.
Union headquarters will be trans
fered to st. Charles hotel Scranton,
during the convention, but President
Mitchell will return again to Hazleton
after the convention adjourns.

Water Low In Wells,

Water in several wells of town is at
present very low, due to the dry season.
At the Birkbeck street station of the
Freeand Water Company the water in
the well was never so low as it is now,
the pump lifting from distance of over
200 feet. A rain of two or three days
duration is necessary to give the wells
their old-time flow.

WORK FOR THE DELEGATES.

While the mine workers are aware
that to refuse the alleged increase of 10
per cent may cost them the sympathy
of that part of the public which does
not take the trouble to inform itself
whether the offer is fair one or not.
nevertheless there is strong senti-
ment that the operators should make
their ambiguous proposition more clear
before it is accepted.
The convention is not expected to
complete its work in one day. In fact,
many of the strikers are of the opinion
that more than one convention will be
necessary before the strike is finally
adjusted. The sentiment expressed by
leaders and by the rank and file of the
men indicates beyond doubt that the
strike is not as near an end as the
public generally believes. The conven-
tion may formulate scheme of settle
ment based on the 10 per cent offer and
make counter proposition.
One thing appears probable, and
that is that the miners will not agree to
include reduction in the price of
powder in the 10 per cent advance.
They prefer a straight 10 per cent ad-
vance and to continue to pay $2.75 per
keg for powder, rather than accept the
operators offer.

his cooking is marvel to all who
partake of it. The nice snowy table,

wonderfully aromatic coffee were too
tempting to miss. The ranges show
