Nearly 10000 Miners Quit Work in
Scranton District.
WORK Is CONTINUED IN OTHERS
General Tie-Up in All CoI|ieries
Expected After Today.
WILL CLEAN UP TONIGHT

SCRANTON, Pa, September 14.-Opera-
tions In the eighteen mines controlled by
the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
railroad, employing 10000 miners are al
most at a standstill, there being a few men
gathered around the mine openings, but
none Of them going to work. Besides these
collieries, those Of the Ontario and Western
Railroad Company. embracing the Pine
Brook Briggs and West Ridge mines, en-
ploying 1900. and the Mount Pleasant col
liery, with 600 employees. are shut down to-
day, the men deciding this morning to quit
after they had assembled for work. The
Delaware and Hudson mines are working,
but with small force. A statement given
out yesterday by President Oliphant of this
company was discounted somewhat by the
action of the local unions Of his employees
In deciding to obey almost to a man the
order to strike, clean up their places and
leave the mines in proper condition.
The individual operations, embracing
more than thirty mines and breakers, are
likewise doing little today, and the condi-
ton existing throughout the region this
afternoon is very near to a complete shut
down.
The miners and their leaders say they
are not disturbed yet over the means of
support for the strikers. During the past
week the workers have received their Au
gust pay, some for the full month and
others only to the Goth, and as the month
was one of the best for a long time their
pay was correspondingly high, especially
among the Lacka wanna Co.'S men. They
now have two or three weeks pay due,
which they will secure early in October,
and the general feeling is that the miners
and their laborers are better provided for
financially than the public has been led to
believe.
All Of these facts warrant the statement
that the strike is on nearly forty-eight
hours in advance Of the time set for it to
begin. Tonight will see the practical clos
ing Of every mine and breaker in the
Lackawanna region, extending from Pitt
ston on the south to Forest City on the
north. These workings give employment
to nearly $1,000 men and boys, more than
one-third of the entire number of en-
ployes In the anthracite coal fields of Penn

BILL BRYAN'S RIDE.
tBeing a similar experience to that
Of the late John Gilpin, gentleman. in
which it is shown how the democratic
jackass was stolen, and the Iamentable
fate that befell him and his rider
Bill Bryan was a gentleman
OF credit and renown,
Who rose by wagging his jawbone,
From modest Lincoln town.
A braying jackass. grazing near
All eager he bestrode.
Listen. my children, you will hear
How William Jennings rode.
Were oH he cried and sank the
spurs
Deep in the poor beasts side,
See. See. The sleepy jackass stirs,
The wondering children cried
To see the steed so madly race
Through village, street and lane,
Like Jackson's army marching up
The hill and down again.
From far and near. from lake and lea
The wondering people spied
The flying steed and came to see
Bill Bryan,s wondrous ride,
And OF and on he raced aIong.
Nor ever drank or dined,
His ringlets floating in the breeze
His coat tails out behind.
Now .Whoa!' and Whoa.' the Lead
srs cried,
They who had reared the steed,
The frightened beast but leaped and
SHE'D,
But stopped? No, no indeed!
The riders spurs sank deeper in,
The poor beast he bestrode,
He loudly cried: Sixteen to One!"
And faster vet he rode.
The dust grew thick and dark and
dense,

With jaws tight shut, with muscles

Through field and valley, hill and dale

With cookie burrs beneath his tail
And madness in his eye.

But all the cries were vain,
The rider laughed a chuckling laugh
And tighter drew the rein,
From every town mensset them out
To catch the flying pair,
But when they reached the place they
were
They never found them there.
So swiftly, madIy rode they BY,
So wildly and so fast,

To see them as they passed,
Come follow met cried William B.

Twas on a chill November day,
a searching party strobe
With fearful eyes to seek the beast
That the mad rider rode
Grim, ancient democrats were they,
Who sought the stolen steed.
To lead him back into his stall
And pet and groom and feed.
Alas! AIack. They only found
a heap of bones alone,
And resting on the dismal pile
The wreck Of a jaWbone,
OF horse and rider naught remained
