Coal for the Schools,

Arrangements were made last week to
supply the borough schools with coal
from Sandy Run stripping. Owing to
the almost incessant rain since last
Wednesday but little coal has lately
been taken out OF the stripping and con-
sequently none has yet been delivered to
the schools. The fuel, however, will be
sent to town as soon as the weather
clears sufficiently to permit the men to
resume their work of digging it out.
Orders have been placed for a quantity
that is estimated as sufficient to keep
the buildings heated until the labor
difficulties come to an end.

RECKLESS SHOOTING YESTERDAY.
Nantlcoke was the scene yesterday
afternoon OF a shooting that will result
fatally. 1t was the old story of the
deputy and his gun. Joseph Gillis, a
striker, was shot four times, it is al
legged, by James Sweeney, a guard at
the Bliss mine OF the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western Company, and is in
critical condition at his home. His
reputed assailant Is incarcerated In the
borough lookup. From what can be
learned OF the shooting, Gillis and two
companions went to the stockade OF the
Bliss mine and engaged Ia conversation
with Sweeney. What Its purpose was
is not known, but the deputy is said to
have suddenly pulled out revolver and
fired directly at GlllIs.
A party of striking miners from Ply
mouth boarded Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western freight train last evening
below Avondale to ride to their homes.
As they we're passing the Avondale COL
liery they we're fired upon by deputies
bohind the stockade. One OF the bullets
entered the leg Of James Horton, in
fiicting painful wound. No arrests
have yet been made.
1t was apparently a field day for the
deputies behind the stockades. Besides
the shootings at Nanticoke and Avon
dale, they are accused of using their
guns on Officer Michael Hanlon and
John Fallon, OF Wilkesbarre. As Fal-
lon was passing the Stanton colliery he
was startled when six bullets rapid sue
cession went flying over his head. Off
Ger Hanlon, who heard the sound of the
reports, came to the rescue and was also
greeted with fusillade. Luckily
neither man was hit
MISCELLANEOUS NOTES.
A rumor is In circulation that an at
tempt to operate Drfton colllery will be
made this week. Those In a position to
know the truth refuse to speak on the
subject. There Is considerable loose
coal In the mines and the breaker could
be run for few days with the supply
on hand. Union men are expecting
that this coal will be hosted soon, In
order to give the operators a chance to
spread the report that "another colllery
has resumed"
Rev. Carl Houser, pastor of the Slavon-
Ian Lutheran church, is charged In this
mornings Hazleton Standard with in
ducing members of his congregation to
return to work. Rev. Houser denies the
allegation and has placed the matter in
the hands OF his attorneys.
1t was admitted at Wilkesbarre yes
terday by an official Of one mining COM
panies that there are only 90 certifcat-
ed miners working In all the collieries
of the anthracite region, from Pottsville
to Forest City.
At the request Of Colonel Watres, in
command In the vicinity of Scranton,
the Sheridan troop, Of Tyrone, was yes
terday ordered out by Governor Stone to
do duty In Lackawanna county.

According 10 one OF the tenets of the

There is belief among Mussulmans
that at the day of Judgment Allah will
demand that the artist who has made

that image with life and that. failing TO
do this. the artist will be sent to perdi-
