Hazleton. Pa, Sept. 2S.-Notwith-
standing the rumors of settlement and
of concession upon the part of the
operators there was no change in the
great coal strike situation here to-day
1t was probably the most inactive day
that President Mitchell and his official
staff have spent since the strike began.
The day gave promise of developing
important events at the United Mine
Workers headquarters. but all those
interested We're doomed to disappoint-
ment. That President Mitchell was
waiting for information from New
York cannot be denied; as he intimateCi
several times during the day that some
thing might develop before night In
the forenoon he had two lengthy con-
NerSat'ons over the long distance tele-
phone. and between 1 and o'clock
this afternoon he was at the wire for
more than half an hour. To whom he
talked he declined to say. but lie gave
out the information that he had moth
ing TO impart. When he was pressed
however. To say something on the gen
erai strike situation. he said:
WHAT HE HAD TO SAY.
IF the 10 per cent increase mentioned
in the newspapers is correct. while faI
from satisfactory, II is the greatest
victory ever won by or nized labor
and won under most adverse circun-
stances. l, OF course, have nothing &c
say as to what action will he taken as
to the acceptance or rejection of any
proposition this must be determined

age such machine. Miss Woods as
sured him, however, that she. was
quite capable, and added that if the
commissioner would come out on Fifth
avenue in front Of the arsenal she
would prove it. Commissioner Clau-
sen sent Secretary Willis Holly to in
vestigate.

rode up the avenue as far as Seventy
second street at tearing pace; then
she turned into the park and came
back again. -.~. e.. b..

W. F. Beck, young planter of Bibb
county, Ala, has filed suit in the United
States court at Birmingham against
the Western Union Telegraph company
for SIC, 900 damages, which he claims,
because, as he asserts, that corporation
caused him olose q wife.
Beck, q young man named Ragland,
and a.third, whose name is not given,
were all seeking the hand of Miss Dora.
Ward, of Centerville. Each suitor was
pressing for a favorable reply, where
upon Miss Ward, it is stated, wired each
of them the same day that such an an
swer might be Forthcoming to the first
suitor to reach her.
The young men resided in widely diff
ferent places, and Ragland happened to
be the first to reach Miss Ward, and
welded her. Beck, who was at Repton,
200 miles away, telegraphed hersto give
him sufficient time to arrive, andtto be
sure to await his letter The third man
missed his train.
Beck alleges in his suit that the tele-
graph operator at Centerville was in
structed TO deliver his telegram to Miss
Ward immediately, and he claims long
delay in delivery. The message: caused
him to lose wife, hence he wants dam
ages, for his lacerated feelings.

FARMER DIGS up FOSSILS
Evidences or PrehistoPIc Civilixa tion
Found ON the Broad Prairfe
Lands OF Kansas. -

Evidences of prehistoric civiliza-
ton on what is now the broad prairie
land Of Kansas have been dug from 80
feet below the surface of the ground by
J. w. Dice, an Allen county farmer.
Mr.. Dice has also discovered some re-
markable fossils of ancient animals.
+ His first discovery was on the banks
Of Neosho river, where the stream joins
his farm near Neosho Falls. It con-
sisted Of the skeletons Of two immense
buffalo, which were found standing
erect between 20 and 25feet below the
surface. Their positions were natural,
indicating that they had been sudden
II caught by some subterranean dis
turbance or swallowed by bed Of
quicksand. Immediately over them
was growing a walnut tree measuring
four feet in diameter. This tree was
without doubt between 300 and 400
years OLD. 4. r.. ~ s...... =.
Most interesting, however, of the
discoveries by Mr. Dice are parts of a
human image which seem to have been
made out of concrete, though it may
have been carved from a peculiar stone
not known to this age. These places
are found about 30 feet beneath the
surface. To ascertain to what age they
belonged or what hands probably made
them will be an interesting study for
scientists. The workmanship seems to
have been as artistic as modern sculp-
ture.. sT III MI s..s#
The vicinity in which they were
found was occupied by the Indians un-
til about 35 years ago, and since that
time it has been an unfrequerted
prairie. .E@ '%:
