New Coal Prices.

The new tidewater circular of the an
thracite mining and carrying companies,
issued yesterday, announces an advance
in the price of coal Of so cents a ton over
that demanded by the July circular.
The prices quoted for ton on board
are as follows: $4. 65 for stove and nut,
$40 for egg and $4.15 for broken.
The city retailers will reduce their
prices to the following figures on Mon
day: S5.75 for white ash, Sc for pink
and $6.25 for red ash. These prices,
while averaging 81 ton less than was
demanded during the strike and so
cents less than is now being asked, are
still rs cents higher than those quoted
prior to the strike. There is no likeli-
hood of a further reduction during the
winter.
There has been no general advance
in prices at the mines for local con-
sumers, but an increase is among the
probabilities of the near future.

Election Ballots Burned.

The Raeder printing, lithographing
and binding establishment, WiIkesbarre,
was totally destroyed by fire last night,
causing a loss of over $15O,OO0. The
ballots for the First, Third and Fifth
legislative districts of this county,
about $4,000 in all, were destroyed, and
today making arrangements to have
them reprinted. There is barely time
to have the work done, and they will
not be distributed before Monday.
The fire started from the oil room in
the cellar and spread up the elevator
shaft to all the eight floors, burning
them all after stubborn blaze of three
hours

Silk Mill Strike.

The female employees of the Freeland
silk mill struck on Wednesday for an
increase in wages and the removal of
the forewoman, Miss Johnson, of Jeddo.
About two-thrds of the $50 girls en-
ployed at the mill joined the strike,
Strenuous efforts are being made
to induce the balance of the force to
join them, but they are only partially
successful, and the mill continues work
ing, although badly handicapped by the
strikers.
The girls claim that Miss Johnson's
methods of overseeing are obnoxious
and unbearable. They deny the report
that her removal is asked for on ac-
count of her step-father having worked
during the miners strike. The wage
question is secondary matter, although
the girls claim they are entitled to
higher pay.
The scenes in the vicinity of the mill
are exciting every morning, noon and
evening, and hundreds of people line
along Birkbeck street at the hours when
the employees go to and from the MILL
Those who are working are jeered, and
every new recruit to the strikers ranks
is applauded.
Yesterday at noon scrimmage oc-
Cured which looked serious for awhile,
but in the end no one was badly hurt
and the borough police prevented any
harm being done.
Four out-of-town special officers are
guarding the mill today and escorting
the workers from their homes and re-
turn. The Jeddo and Drifton employees
were brought to the mill today in busses.
A team was also sent to Upper Lehigh,
but the striking girls of that town pre-
vailed upon all who live there to keep
out of the bus and it returned empty.

This Week.
Resumption of Work Fol-
lowed by Many Fatalities.
Dockage. Semi-MonthIy
Pay and Other Matters.

More lives have been crushed out as
the victims are William Shepherd and
his stepson, Calvin Conner, well known
residents of Hudson, little town in the
upper end of the county. While the
men were working in their chamber in
the Pine Ridge mine of the Algonquin
Coal Company, near Miners Mills, there
men were buried under it. Other work
men were at once put to work to clear
away the fall and in few hours
they came upon the body of Conner, and
that of Shepherd was found soon after
wards. Both were badly crushed. Shep-
herd was about 81 years old and was a
His stepson, Calvin Conner, was As years
old.
While telling story to party of six
men, George Osborne, driver boy, was
instantly killed in the Cayuga mine at
Scranton. The men were in circle
around him listening to Osborne's story,
when bell of rock fell. None of the
men were injured.
Frank Macalosky, who was burned by
the explosion OF gas in Kingston colliery
on Tuesday, died yesterday.
Matthew Freeman, aged 55 years,
fire boss employed at Luke Fiddler col
liery, Shamokin, was fatally injured.
While making his rounds he came upon
a mine car which had been deraied.
He tried to lift it on the rails, with the
assistance of several other workmen.
In doing so his body and head were
caught between the car and the top and
side of the gangway, and before he
could be released from his perious posi-
tion his skull was fractured, his back
horribly crushed and several ribs broken
by the car starting to run.

in the Pottsville hospital, where he was
admitted early yesterday morning with
a wound inflicted by Charles Unneweiler,

remove the missile.

Incorrect Reports.

''No accidents during October" is
the report of Mine Inspector Davies, of
this district While it is true that com
paratively few men were at work in the
Lehigh region last month, there were
mine accidents in October and some
serious ones at that
The incorrect reports furnished each
month by Mr.. Davies have been noticed
by the mine employees and others for
some time past, and what purpose is
being served by these untrue statements
is matter of speculation among people
who keep tab on mine statistics

Dependency resulting from poverty
and Ill health brought on by her over
exertions in trying to support her six
fatherless children, drove Mrs. Emma
