BOY SHOT BY ACUARD
First Blood In Anthracite
 Miners Strike.
MOB FIRES COLLIERY PROPERTY.
Several Disturbances Reported In the Wyoming Valley, and Nonstrikfng W0rJ1men Are Terrorixed and
 Stoned by Angry Crowds.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, June 6.-The spirit Of unrest that has been manifest ing itself more or less in this city and vicinity during the last few days broke out in earnest at two places i'll this city last night, and as result boy was dangerously if not fatally shot by a guard at the Stanton colliery and a considerable portion of the fence around the Murray colliery was de- stroyed by fire. There has been consid- erable trouble around the Stanton col fiery, which is operated by the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal company, con ! trolled by the Central Railroad of New Jersey. The colliery is located in the southern part of the city. Several nights ago part of the fence sur rounding the place was burned and also a small frame building on the culm bank. Since then other attempts were made to fire the fence. The guards as result kept close watch.
 Last night while Charles MeCann, aged thirteen years, was walking along the fields outside the fence, it is said, guard on the inside fired revolver or rifle at him. The bullet struck the boy ill the back. The shot was heard by the people in the vicinity, and it looked for time as though there would be serious trouble. trhe boy was quickly removed to the Mercy hospital and the police notified The chief of the Wilkes barre police, with q squad of men, went to the colliery to arrest the guard, and after some trouble the chief and E.g- their man, but the crowd on the out side was so great and threatening that the police did not dare take him from the place.
 Shortly after the shooting the crowd sought vengeance on the company's property, and some one set fire to a trestlework. The fire department was summoned and with considerable diff culty put out the blaze.
 At the Murray .colliery, also operated by the Lehigh and WiIkesbarre compa- ny, in the eastern part of the city, a crowd of boys succeeded in burning about 400 feet of a high board fence that surrounds tie company's property. The fire department extinguished the blaze.
 l the Wyoming valley. i'll which work men who refused to desert the compa- nies generally got the worst of it. No one, so far as known, was seriously hurt The work of the miners pickets and the stoning by boys and young men is having it's effect. Each day a fewer number of men leave their homes for the mines, fearing they may not again get home alive.
 It was stated at strike headquarters last night that thirty-three additional men had joined the ranks of the strik- CTS during the daysand that more are expected out. The. operators are still able to fill the places of those that de- sert or are forced to quit. Most of the companies have exhausted their force of company employees and3are now us ing nonunion men. more freely. 1t was their policy not to enlist the services of strangers until it was absolutely neces- saly.

He was revived and his wounds dressed in a drugstore and then taken to his home.

FINS OF THE FLYING FISH.
They Are Used as Parachutes Rather
Than as Wings.

They Are Used as Parachutes Rather
Than as Wings.
Out from the warmer seas fly the
flying fish, the fish of which every one
has heard, which yet none can see for
the first time without gasp Of amaze
ment, without feeling as though be-
holding the mira culous, the fish which
has given rise to more untruthful sto-
ries than any other fish in all the seas.
Undoubtedly the flying fish has wings
like 4 bird; undoubtedly it flies, yet not
as a bird. It does not flap the wing
like, pectoral fins on which it is up
borne, nor, once launched in the air,
can it change it's course by any move
ment of its wings until it dips again
to the water. Yet it will pass ship
making ten knots in the hour and trav-
ell in the air as far as 500 feet at a
time.
Astounding, indeed, is the sight Of a
shoal of flying fish taking to the air.
sl1imming far over the surface when
the sea is calm, leaping high over
great waves when gales blow. Fish
seem ludicrously out Of their element
in the air, but that fish should fly is
not really more wonderful than that
some animals and birds, like the otter
or the penguin, dive and swim to per-
fection.
The flying fish's fins are really para
chutes to support and steady its body
rather than wings to propel it. The
lobe Of the tail gives propulsion to the
body as it leaves the water. A flying
fish measures about foot in length,
and it's long. transparent pectoral fins
reach almost to the tail; but, though
very large when expanded, they can
be folded up very neatly. Its fight is
short and intermittent, and it must
needs continually dip into the sea to
give itself a fresh start.-Pearson's.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:

L y
Our Oldest citizen, Elias Gu lter,
died yesterday, a. m. He was born
in the year 1916, and had indeed
lived many years more than is usually
allotted to man. He volunteered
when a young man and served
through the Florida war. After
wards he was in the Civil war;
peaceful citizen and honest and in
dustrious man. He died as the
glorious Sabbath days sun arose
above the horizon, and a kind pro7i-
dence spared him the pains of DISC
luton that is usually inflicted on our
unfortunate race. While sitting,
talking quietly with his son, his head
fell on his shoulder and his spirit
took it's fight to the God who gave
it; not word or motion to disturb
the peaceful surroundings. His
funeral was preached this p. m. by
Rev. DIR. Wilkins, and his body laid
to rest in the village cemetery.
The Batesburg Collegiate Insti-
tute is now at work under a aew
corps of instructors. Prof. j. R. 7.

Miss Eva Glover. The school is be-
ing run on the basis of the extra

dict large and successful school.
The series of meetings at the
Baptist church closed last night.

Accurate Delay.

Many stories are tcld Of the lack of
punctuality upon southern railroads,
1t is said that when a New England
man found his train, advertised to
leave at II o'clock. starting at exactly
that hour he complimented the con-
ductor.
Just on time, see." he said genial,
ly. "All this talk I've heard Of the
lateness of your trains is without foun-
dation, I've no doubt"
The conductor smiled at him gently.
This train, Sir" he said without a
trace Of embarrassment, us not today S
II o'clock train, sir. 1t is yesterday S
II o'clock. Today's will probably not
get here from way down until tomor-
row, sir"-Youth's Companion.

a Sad Death.

Miss Bertha, daughter OF Mr.. Geo.
F. Leitzsey, of Lower Fork, departed
this trsnsitory life, at the home OF
her kinsmaD, Auditor G. A. Derrick,
near this place, last Friday, after
brief illness of typhoid fever. Only
a few days before she was stricken
down with the disease which cut
short her bright young life, she LETT
home full of bouyant expectation of
happy time to visit the family of Mr.
Derrick and other intimate friends
heresbouts none of the household, II
of which she was the head, her
mother having died some years pre-
vious, dreamed that the grim old
monster had already claimed the
lovely and graceful form as its vic,
tim, and that her return to the neigh
borhood in which she was born and
grew up to glorious young wona1-
hood, would be attended by such
gloom and sorrow and the light Of the
sunshine Of happiness would be dim
med by the solemn sounds of deaths
requiem, but such was the decree of
faith. Miss Bertha was about 2l
years of age and was one of nature'S
gentlewomen. Hsr affections were
wrapped up IN the happiness Of the
family of which she was daughter,
mother and sister, and how we'll she
performed the exacting duties OF her
trying position is attested to by the
devotion to her memory of the sor-
rowing loved ones. In the perform
81 ce of her every other duty she was
faithful and went about her work With
acbeerfulness and willingness that
scattered sunshine into the homes OF
many. She will be sadly missed
from the circle of her friends and
acqusintsnces, and her memory will
linger as sweet incense long after her
body has returned to the dust from
whence it came. She was buried in
the beautiful city of the dead at st
Andrews church, near the hallowed
scenes among which the days of her
short but sweet young life were
spent sud they now peacefully rest
beside those of her loved ones who
preceded her to the home of eternal
rest beside the still waters and ely
sium fields of glory.

Consumption

The only kind of consump-
ton to fear is NEGLECTED
consumption"
People are learning that con-
sumption is a curable disease.
1t is neglected consumption
that is so often incurable.
At the faintest suspicion Of
consumption get a bottle OF
SCOTS Emulsion and begin
regular doses.
The use Of SCOTS Emulsion
at once, has, in thousands of
cases, turned the balance in
favor Of health.
Neglected consumption does
not exist where SCOTS Emul-
sion is.
Prompt use of SCOTS Emul-
sion checks the disease while it
can be checked.

A POUNDS A POUND.
But Pound of Feathers Is Heavier
Than q Pound of Lead.


Than a Pound of Lend.
That old question about a pound Of
feathers and a pound of lead takes Oh
new interest when we look at it in a
simple scientific way. 1t seems alb
surd, of course, that pound Of one
thing could be heavier than Il pound Of
another thing, and yet that is exactly
what may be shown in this case; not
that the pound of lead is heavier than
the pound Of feathers, as most persons
would say on the spur Of the moment,
but just the other Way-a pound OF
feathers is heavier than a pound Of
lead.
This apparently inconsistent state
ment may be quite easily proved. With
accurate scales weigh a pound of lead,
using ordinary shot for convenience;
then with the same scales weigh a
pound Of feathers, putting them into a
muslin bag for the purpose. The feath-
ers and the bag together must weigh
exactly pound.
The next step in the operation will
show apparently that there is no diff
ference whatever in the weight Of the
two articles, for you put the shot in
one pan Of a balance and the bag of
feathers in the other, and after little
seesawing they will come to an exact
level
Now, however, the scientific phase Of
the question presents itself, and you
are reminded that in weighing the ar
ticles thus in the open air you have
taken no account Of the buoyant pow
er Of the air, which bears everything
up in proportion to the objects bulk.
AS the bag Of feathers is Of greater
bulk than the shot, it is borne up more
than the shot is, and for that reason
it is necessary to use little more than
q pound Of feathers to balance pound
of lead.
This, however. is theoretical The
practical proof is obtained when you
place the balance bearing the lead and
the feathers on the receiver of an air.
pump and cover them with the glass
bell. Then exhaust the air, and you
will find that the pan bearing the feath-
ers will sink and the pan bearing the
lead will rise, thus showing that when
weighed in the ordinary way the quan-
tity of feathers used to make pound
is actually more than a pound.-New
