teachers were entertained on the

some of the business men and women

ments were served and most de-
lightful evening was enjoyed.
On Tuesday evening the exercises
were held in the Christian church,
when fine program, consisting of
music, recitations and short address,
es, was rendered.
Last evening the instructor, Mr..
Hanks, lectured in the Baptist
church TO a fine audience. AS he has
happy faculty of adapting himself to
his audience, he holds the attention
without apparent effort, while his
address in itself was replete with in
centives to noble life and the high
est development of the soul.
The music during the institute is
IN charge of Mrs. George Compton
and is deserving of special mention.

STABBED BY STRIKING MINERS.
Special Policeman Hurt While Trying to
Protect His Son.

Hazleton, Pa, Aug. 27.-Au-
gust Scheuch, aged So years,
special policeman In the service
of the Lehigh Valley Coal Com
pany, was assaulted and stabbed
on the outskirts early today while
attempting to rescue his son,
William Scheuch, a non-union
workman employed at the COM
pany's No. 40 colliery, from a
mob of about 5000 strikers who
had gathered from all parts of
the Hazleton region on the roads
leading to the mine to Illustrate
the plans of the company for a
partial resumption of operations
with a non-union force of 25O
hands.
A majority of the non-union
menNyere taken to the workings
in a special train with which the
strikers did not attempt to inter
fere. Mr.. ScNeuch, who lives in
this city, walked from his home
toward the collierytand thus fell
into the hands of tie pickets.
Most Of the clothing Was torn
from his back in the struggle
which followed. When ScheuSR's
father rushed to his aid the mo3
set upon the elder Scheuch, who
was finally rescued by mine
foreman and removed to the
miners hospital.
Scheuch was stabbed in the
breast and on each hip, kicked
in the abdomen and struck on
the head with a stone. His in
juries are not very serious. The
knife, which was sunk into his
breast, struck a rib and that fact
probably saved his life. The eff
fort to prevent work at the mine
was successful.
The report of resumption at
the Cranberry colliery of A. Par
dee & Co. caused about 500 men
to gather near the mine today,
but no attempt was made to start
work.

A. DOWN IN THE MINES. A.

the state has grown from 40O,00O
tons yearly to 5000, 900 tons last
year.
The question is asked, why is
there so much activity shown by
new coal companies in the devel-
opment of coal fields and the
opening of new mines by the old
companies at the present time?
The answer can be found in the
following quotation from an able
writer in the Manufacturers Re-
cord, which indicate that good
demand and good prices cause
capital to flow into these new
coal fields:
"There is a demand for soft
coal in all the cities, both East
and West, and the production is
increasing in all the states of the
South, but the demand keeps up
so that in many districts the
price has already been advanc-
ed"
Prof, Norwood, state mine in
spector, has been in this county
the past week, making his tour
of inspection of mines. The op-
orators of this county, among
whom the inspector worked for
years, have implicit confidence
in the judgment Of Mr.. Norwood,
accompanied by a desire to obey
all his rulings; therefore, perfect
harmony prevails and the mines
are kept in a condition of safety
for man and beast.
Foreman Thomas Longstaff in
forms us that he has just COM
pleted a new stable for the mules
in tie Victoria mine. In this
mine, like many others, the
mules used in the mines are kept
there for months at a time and
care is therefore necessary in
providing a suitable stable for
them, and when these under
ground workers are brought to
light, their fat and sleek condi-
ton indicates that proper atten-
ton has been given them by
those in charge of these mine
stables.
Much Indignation is now ex-
pressed by the once humble fol-
lowers of the U. NJ. w. over the
treatment now accorded them. A
year ago they were supplied not
only with the necessaries of life,
but given guns and told to make
both day and night hideous for
the freeman who dared to work.
In the vicinity of Warrington it
was dangerous for a lone man to
travel on the public highway, as
was shown in the assassination of
officer Coffey, and now these
same would-be outlaws are loud
in their complaints against these
agitators, under whom they en-
listed to commit crimes, if nee
essary, to force an issue. Under
the circumstances, who could
sympathize with such a gang,
when even starvation faces them?
Only the innocent wives and
children deserve sympathy.
Prof. Norwood, after making a
close inspection of the Victoria
mine last week, expressed him.
self much pleased with the con-
dltion of the air in particular.

fan lately constructed and put in

The managers of the new coal
mine at Henderson have met
with an obstacle while sinking
the shaft. A large stream OF
watar has been struck at a depth
of a little over 80 feet, which
has caused them great delay and
expense. So great was the flow
of water that, our informant
says, that the company was Of

The zinc fields of Western
Kentucky are now commanding
considerable attention. Presi-
dent J. B. Atkinson, of the st.
Bernard Mining Company, was
called there last week to make
an Investigation, and rumor says
the mine now being operated is
proving a profitable one, and
Crittenden county may yet be-
come noted for its big zinc
mines.
Coal operators were again COM

p. Farnsworth has completed a
new brick engine house at St.
Charles, and it is probable that
hereafter more of such buildings
will be erected, as it is found
that the metal ones are quickly
consumed by the smoke.
The robbery of those at work
around the mines is now becom-
ing too frequent here of late, and
miners will soon feel compelled
to leave their watches and other
valuables at home. During the
last four weeks two valuable
watches have been stolen, the
last victim being James Kelley
of the Hecla mines, and thus far
the guilty parties have escaped
detection.
Mitchell, President of Mine
Workers, still reports the order
we'll supplied with money and
prepared for a long struggle. He
certainly refers to himself when
he speaks of the financial strength
as no one yet has heard of him
being short in pocket change.
Yet reports from reliable sources
show such poverty prevailing
among the miners he has failed
to lead right, that they are in
many cases forced to beg or steal.
Would it not be better for him to
see that some of the finances he
speaks so boastingly about is dis
tributed among these sufferers ?

wealthy has accumulated his
wealth by foul means, and cor
porations who by legitimate in
vestment prosper and grow are
looked upon in the same light,
and in the views of the envious
cannot be Christians, and they
try to substantlate this false po-
sition by quotations from the
Bible in regard to the difficult
task of the rich man entering the
kingdom of heaven. While they
wholly overlook the punishment
that will fall to the lot of those
who fail to provide for their own
households, as taught in the holy
scriptures and of which crime
over a hundred thousand u. M. w.
in the east stand accused. This
false and erroneous position
President Baer attacks in a brief
and pointed manner, showing
that the business interests of our
country can be controlled in a
Christian way by capitalists who
have by their means opened up
tie way for the laborer to earn
a livelihood.

ter. 1t is very doubtful
whether she will receive much
sympathy because the situation
is altogether different. In the
case of Coxey's army the idle
ness was forced upon them by
the business prostration brought
about by bad legislation, but
with the miners it is quite the
reverse, while prosperity is no.

One of the few outspoken U.

for his family was given him at
the prevailing price paid by the
farmer-75 cents per day. At
one time this man was earning
while at work in the mines, be-
fore the days of the agitators,
$2.50 per day, and now he claims
that forgotten and forsaken by
