THE COIL MINERS STRIKE.

This is the second week of the an
thracite coal miners strike, and there
is little prospect of an end of the
struggle.
There was violence last week, and
it is not unlikely that before the end
of this week there may be much more
bloodshed.
An effort was made yesterday to
start the mines, but at most of them
not a miner went to the collieries.
The mines that did start up did so
under the protection Of soldiers.
1.-The miners show no sign of giving
up, and the prospects are that other
labor organizations, especially those
engaged in operating the railroads
running through the coal regions,
may be drawn into the trouble.
The demands of the miners have
been briefly summed up as follows:
Wages to be paid semi-monthly in
cash.
An advance of 20 per cent. in wages
less than $3.50.
An advance of Is per cent. in wages
of $3.50 and less than $1.75.
An advance of 10 per cent. in wages
of $1.75.
Abolition of the sliding scale of
wages.
Abolition of the company doctor
system.
Abolition of the company store
system.
A ton of coal to be actually 2.240
pounds, and not as now, over 5000.
Price of powder to be $3.50 keg,
and not as now, $3.50. The company
gets it for 90 cents.
There seems to be nothing unreason-
able about these demands, but the
trusts think there is, and rather than
make any concessions they propose
to take all the dinner from the dinner
pail, and if that is not sufficient they
will have soldiers shoot submission
into the rebellious miner with Mauser
rifles
There are about 10000 men and
boys employed in the anthracite in
dustry in the region of the strike,
getting $52,OOO,OOO a year in wages
and producing coal worth fully twice
that amount.
The great anthracite coal fields of
Pennsylvania are divided generally
into three general divisions, known as
the Wyoming, Lehigh and Schuylllill,
from the rivers traversing or near
them. In the northern field, known as
the Wyoming and Lackawanna re-
gions, the shutdown was practically
complete ON the first day of the strike.
In the southern fields, or Schuyllxill
and Lehigh regions, the miners struck
with some reluctance, but since the
beginning of the strike pressure has
been brought to bear upon them, and
it is estimated that 60 per cent, or
100000 men, are out. Roughly speak
ing, slightly more than one-half Of
the total production was suspended
on the opening day of the strike.
During the past week the strike eX-
tended until now an actual famine in
anthracite coal SllDnlieS is threa tened

SUNDAY CONCERTS IN RIVERSIDE
Hyatt's Band Will be in the New Park To-
morrow Afternoon and Evening

Riverside Park. below New Castle,
was opened last night and direct connec-
tion to it can be made from this city.
There is no inconvenience in reaching
the park. except the walk of a square or
so across the field. but to persons kept in
the city all day such a walk cannot be
otherwise than pleasing. A bOardwalk
will be built next week from the car line
to the park. The fare TO the park from
this city is the same rs TO New Castle,
therefore the beach promises to be pop
ular resort.
The park proper is situated in an apple
orchard, on high bluff overlooking the
river and giving the visitors an excep-
tionally fine view up and down the Della
ware. A dancing pavilion, refreshment
booth aud other attractions have been
provided. but possibly the most pleasant
feature is the bathing. There is a nat
ural sand and clay beach, free from
stones and pebbles and at low tide, bath
ers can go 200 yards from shore, as the
beach slopes so gradually.
Built far out into the river is a pier
which afford an excellent place for crab
bing at high tide. The park will continu,
open for the remainder Of the season and
there will be various attractions. To-
morrow afternoon and evening there viii
be concerts by Hyatt's Military Band.

ELEVATOR ALMOST
CRUSHED HIM
Ford Building Apparatus,
Nearly Caused Death
Of a Boy

Locked in an elevator carriage,
which was ascending the six-story
shaft in the Ford building at speed
which endangered human life, was the
thrilling experience of William Skallee,
the elevator boy of the building, this
morning. That he Is uninjured at
this time is due solely to the fact that
he Jumped from the carnage as it
passed the fifth floor of the building
one second before it came to a sudden
stop against the roof of the building.
Yesterday afternoon the elevator
gave evidence Of being out of order
and in consequence it was not Oper-
ated for the convenience of the busi-
ness men who occupy offices in the
building. Neither was it operated this
morning until William, who, believing
that the cables had been properly ad-
! justed to the machinery in the root
of the building, went inside the car.
riage from the second floor, and, lock
ing himself in, released the brake thai
held the carriage fast. Instead of de-
scending to the ground floor, the ele
ator shot upward almost like a flash
William was dumbfounded. To remaiI
in the carriage he realized mean
bodily injury, so as the vehicle ap
preached the fifth floor Of the build
ing he prepared to escape by jumping
through the open door there And h
did, but so rapidly was the elevate
moving that the young man narrowl!
escaped being crushed to death be
tween the elevator and the sixth floo
