Upper End Employers Will

John Jermyn Says That the
Invitation to Confer With
the Miners Next Monday
Is Refused.

A Scranton Times reporter yesterday
had an interview with Jehn Jermyn
with reference to the invitations sent
by the United Mine Workers to the an
thracite coal operators to meet the
former in conference next Monday.
Mr. Jermyn stated that he had re-
ceived an invitation, but stated en-
phatically that he would not attend the
conference. He also expressed an opin-
ion that none of the operators would be
present on Monday.
When informed that strike would
probably be the result of the failure of
the operators to attend the conference
he said the operators had no fear of
that. ''If strike is Called" he said,
sit will be of short duration"
Mr.. Dlcher, a member of the execu-
tive board of the United Mine Workers
of America, and one of the strongest
workers in the organization, was seen.
He would not say that strike would
be called should the operators ignore
the invitations to attend the conference,
but he did say that if any trouble should
occur after Monday, the operators
would be to blame
Continuing he said 1.-THE miners are
not desirous of striking, but if it is fore
ed upon them they will 60 out"

RECOVERED
THE BODY
Remains Of David r. Davis
Found Yesterday.
Sad Death of an Old and
Experienced Miner in No.
4 ColIiery, Upper Lehigh.
on "Wednesday.

At o'clock yesterday morning the
force of men engaged in the work of
clearing away the wreck caused by the
cavern at No. colliery, Upper Lehigh,
succeeded in reaching the remains of
the victim, David X. Davis. Two hours
later the body was brought to the sur
face and taken to his late home in that
town.
Wednesday the work of rescue began
and was continued without intermission
until the remains were found. AT first
it was hoped that the unfortunate miner
might be alive, behind the fall, but
according as they proceeded it became
plain to the workers that the extent and
character of the fall left no room for
hope that Mr.. Davis was alive.
Rapid progress was made, notwith-
standing the awful dangers which the
rescuers had to undergo Finally, at
the hour stated, the body was found
under mass of coal. The remains
were not badly crushed, but cash in
the head showed that death was un-
doubtedly instantaneous.
Mr. Davis, with two laborers, was
engaged in robbing pillars in No. 4
mine. The work had proceeded so far
that it became very dangerous. Sud
denly, with but the faintest sign of
warning, u large area of the roof fell
on Wednesday, extending to the surface
of tho ground, and crushing Mr.. Davis
before he had time to move from his
position, and coming within an ace of
catching his two assistants.
Mr. Davis was aged 5s years and ?
months. He was born in Wales, but
came to America at an early age, set
tling in Schuylkill county. Later he
moved to Westmoreland county. In
1877 he took up his residence in Upper
Lehigh. He is survived by his wife and
three sons and three daughters, as fol-
lows: William b., Catasauqua; David
D., Freeland, and Evan, Upper Lehigh,
and Mrs. Walter Heckler and Misses
Barbara and Louisa, Upper Lehigh.
The deceased was member in good
standing of the Odd Fellows lodge of
Irwin, Westmoreland county, and held

HOARDING COAL.
Companies Are Quietly Stocking Up
Fearing "A Strike.

Fearing "A Strike.
The anthracite coal companies are
quietly stocking up all the coal they
can, so that in event of any trouble
between the miners and the officials
they will be in a position to hold out.
1t was stated yesterday by prominent
coal official that there will be no meet
ing between the officials of the coal
companies and representatives of the
Miners Union. If the men have any
complaints they are to be made in per-
son, and if the trade organization takes
the matter up the owners have decided
not to submit to any interference on
their part.
During the present month the output
OF anthracite coal has been larger than
was first intended, but Notwithstanding
greater output the stock on hand
shows little change. Taking all the
different companies in the East it is be-
lleved the amount of anthracite coal
held in reserve will not be much over
600, 600 tons, which is hardly enough to
meet a weeks demand.
The threats of strike made by the
Miners Union has caused some fear in
the New England states, and the trade
there is quite brisk. Most of the dealers
in that section of the country have little
coal on hand, and they have begun to
lay in their winter supply. There is a
disposition to charge full tariir prices.
which has not been the case in Boston
for some time. During the past week
there has beeH better demand for an.
thraclte coal in this city and at tide
water points. Already prices have stiff
fened and none of the companies is
taking orders for shipment after the
end OF the month.-Phila. Press.

Situation Is Serious.

There is much suspense in business
circles as to what action the coal opera.
tors will take in regard to the invitation
extended them by the United Mine
Workers to meet them in Hazleton on
Monday.
Within the last few days pressure has
been brought to bear on some of the
companies in the Wyoming region to
meet the men half way. Whether the
operators will do this is not known.

the remarkable record of having had a
continuous connection with the order
for forty-two years, having entered the
organization in his native land.
Mr.. Davis was an old and experienced
miner, in whom both the miners and
the company had full confidence, and
his sad death is regretted by all.
The funeral will take place on Sunday
afternoon at o'clock. The interment
will be made in Freeand cemetery.

STORY OF THE YAzoo FRAUD
One of the Most Gigantic Trusts Ever
Known In America.

One of the Most Gigantic Trusts Ever
known In America.
One of the mast gigantic trusts ever
formed on this continent was in the
early days of the republic, back in
1895. Several gentlemen organized
themselves into company for the pur-
pose of purchasing from the state Of
Georgia her unclaimed western terri
tory. extending from the Mississippi
on the west to the Atlantic on the east
and from the thirtyfrst degree of lati-
TO the southern boundary of Tennessee
on the north. including what now con-
stitutes the territory of Georgia, Ala
bama and Mississippi. This vast ter
ritory was purchased for 100000 and
this was the commencement of the ia
nous "YaZoo fraud" about which SO
much was said and written.
The bill authorizing the purchase
and sale passed the Georgia legislature
on Jan. 8, 1895, and it is said that
members were paid all the way from
eight negroes to 100000 acres Of land
to vote for it. Corruption by bribery
was open. Great indignation spread
throughout the state, and upon the as
sembling of the legislature one year
later an act was passed declaring that
the said resurped act was null and
void; that the records relating to the
same be burned in order that no trace
of SO unconstitutional, vile and fraudu-
lent a transaction should remain pub
lie.

in one vast heap" said senator,
"and sun glass was used to set it on
fire. that it might be said that the fire
that destroyed it was from heaven.
This is the first and only instance in
the history of the country where leg

records of corrupt and obnoxious
laws. st. Paul Globe.
