that. Gold helping, you will take care

Miraculous Escape.

James Quinn, a young man of High
land, had miraculous escape from death
In No. 2 mine, at that place, Friday
afternon. While working in gangway
a sudden rush of coal caught him and
made him prisoner. The coal held
him fast and piled about him in a
threatening manner.
His fellow-workmen Immediately went
to his rescue. They built barrier to
prevent another rush, then began the
work of extricatng Quinn. After sever
al hours labor success crowned their
efforts and the young man was saved,
thoroughly exhausted, but uninjured.
His escape from death was marvellous,
and his rescuers deserve credit for their
ingenuity in bringing him forth ali se
from his perilous position.

.L|STLESS
BALL GAME
Plymouth Defeated Tigers
by Small Margin.
In a Poorly Played Game
Yesterday the Visiting
Club Won the Contest by
a Score of q to 2.

The game of base ball yesterday be-
tween the Tigers and Plymouth club,
was lstless exhibition that dragged
itself out to an unsatisfactory finish for
the home team. Both sides played like
a lot of tired boys, who were doing some
perfunctory work that was painfully
laborious.
The Tigers had shade the better of
it in the early part of the game. Burke
was the more effective pitcher, and at
several critical times retired his oppon-
ents on strke-outs. He, however, final
ly made the error which gave the visi-
tors the game.
With the score even at two, and a
man on second base, the batter hit an
easy grounder to Burke, who got ready
to throw the hitter out at first. As he
did this, the runner on second attempt
ed to steal third. Someone called to
Burke to put the ball to third. The
pitcher threw, but the ball went about
fifteen feet wide Of its mark and rolled
down into left field. The runner
scampered home. A few more errors
gave Plymouth another run.
The Tigers could not make up the
lead in the last inning, although they
were eXhorted and encouraged by all
the small boys in the park, who swarm
ed around the diamond and buzzed like
million of bees.
The score by innings was as follows:
Plymouth .........1 00102 2x-4
Tigers ............1 0 0 0 o.

CONFERENCE
POSTPONED
Miners Meeting Not to Be
Held Until August.
Gathering Date Set Back
Two Weeks Later to Al
low Workers 10 Fully Dis
cuss the Questions.

The date of the important joint con-
ference of delegates representing all the
union miners in the anthracite regions,
which was to have been held on July 80
at Hazleton, has been postponed until
August 13. The two weeks extra time
was desired in order to complete prepara-
tions for the meeting, and President
Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers,
has just issued his official call. In his
call he instructs the secretaries of all
local unions to call meetings for the
election of delegates, and says that the
convention is to be for the purpose OF
readjusting the wages of miners.
The care being taken in making the
preparations for the convention is evil
dence of its Importance The two
weeks postponement was granted in
order to. allow the questions which are
to be discussed at the meeting to be
fully talked over in the local unions
in touch with the sentiment of the men
they represent.
1t is hoped to have an almost unani-
nous vote in favor of testing the
strength of the organization on the four
questions which were given in the
Tribune recently. Unofficial reports
of meetings held by the local unions in
this district show the men to be almost
a unit in favor of taking decisive step
and the reports from the other two
districts are of the same tenor.
There is some talk also about the in
PRODUCTION of politics in the convention,
but whether or not this will materialize
it is impossible to say The idea of
some of the miners is that the entire
organization of the United Mine Work
ers should agree to support certain
candidate who is pledged to their in
terest. They say that II this were done.
If they were sure of their candidate and
could be as sure of their organization,
their power is sufficient to elect con
gresham, a state senator Judge and
minor officials in this county.
