INCORPORATION CARRIES.
I5S Votes for and 70 Votes
 Against.

As the day drew near for the first city election in Douglas the excitement became more intense, until Saturday last, when the polls opened, the major ity of the voters had fully made up their minds in one way or the other.
 The election passed off quietly. There were no drunks, no fights, nor other disturbance of any kind. At o'clock D. m. the polls closed, and an anxious crowd listened breathlessly as the judges read the ballots.
 One by one theywere called out, now yes and then no, and at no time could either side feel that they were out of danger. Finally the last ballot was counted and amid great enthusiasm one of the judges announced that there were l5S votes for incorporation and 70 against. And then the fun began. The steam whistle at the Natatorium let out screech after screech, the fire bell was rung, and down at Treadwell they heard the good news ana Jolneu tue celebration by sending up skyrockets. As the good news spread the school children, who were much interested in the outcome, added their shouts to the general rejoicing.
 Supt. Macdonald, Mayor Willis, k. R. Rogers, II. H. Sterling, Chas. Tap pan. A. K. Smith and several others from Treadwen armed themselves with a stock of fireworks and came down to help celebrate the event. It was like Fourth of July celebration. Even the strongest opponents of the measure laid aside their personal feelings in the matter and good naturedly joined in the fun. It was a red letter night in Douglas, time of general rejoicing.
 The officers elect for the new city are as follows:

INDEPENDENT OPERATORS.
contradicted Mr.. Mitchell as to the
Weight of a Miners Ton.

Wilkes-Barre, June 24.-Indepen-
dent operators and superintendents
were interviewed on President Nit
chell's address to the public. None of
the officials seen would permit his
name to be used, and there is no one
in the region who is authorized to
make a statement or give an opinion
for the big coal companies. Such
official statements or interviews can
come only from the presidents of the
big companies in New York or Phil
adelphia.
In the opinion Of most of the Off
cials here the address is "cleverly
written" and will appeal to those per-
sons who are not familiar with the con-
ditions in the mining regions.
One superintendent, whose views
were similar to the others, said:
The assertion that the miner does not
get paid for all the coal he mines is
not true. The miner is paid for a
2240 pound ton and he has to send to
the surface on an average 300 to
5000 pounds Of coal, slate and other
impurities to get the ton Of pure coal.
Only about 10 per cent of the coal
production is paid for by weight, the
other 80 per cent being paid by meas
ure. Attention should be called to
the fact that Mr.. Mitchell is speaking
of last years prosperity in coal mininl
quoted only the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western annual report. That
company only had an exceptionally
good year because Of the peculiar con-
ditions about its mines. The reports
of other companies tell an entirely
different story to which Mr.. Mitchell
makes no reference"
The miners union will make an
attempt to shut down the II washeries
between Pittston and Carbondale
that have resumed operations since
the strike was begun.
There were no developments in the
bituminOus phase of the coal strike.
News from the west as to how the
miners there stand is eagerly awaited.
There is still much speculation as to
what the special national convention
will do. One of the district officers
here said he was of the opinion if the
supply of soft coal could be curtailed
to a certain point the proposition to
call a general strike will not be
pressed.

ARRESTED IN NEW YORK.
William Mcqueen, Charged With In
citing Violence In Paterson, Held
For Extradition.

New York, June 24.-William Nc
Queen, an alleged anarchist, who is
charged with having melted violence at
Paterson last week, was arrested here
yesterday.
Magistrate Crane asked Mcqueen at
the arraignment if he had anything to
say in answer to the charge. Nc
Queen replied he would like to consult
his lawyer.
The court then told Mcqueen that
he would be held pending the arrival
of extradition papers, a period OF 30
days or less.
Mcqueen asked if he could consult
with his lawyer when he arrived.
"You will be in the Tombs," said
the court, and they will tell you
there"
The court told the prisoner he could
not give bail and Mcqueen was led
away.

COLLAPSE OF RIFLE RANGE.
Three Men Caught by Falling Walls
and Killed.

Seagirt, N. j., June 24.-The par.
TALLY completed rifle range caved in
at 6 o'clock yesterday, catching three
men who were trying to escape be-
tween the toppling front walls and the
rear wall, crushing them to death In
simultaneously.
General Bird w. Spencer, the inspec-
tor general of rifle practice of New
Jersey, and his assistant, Lieutenant
Colonel Richard b. Reading. who had
only the moment before stopped to
talk to the men while on inspection of
the work, has most miraculous escapes
from the same fate.
The men who were killed were An.
son Hale, John B. Marsh and Jacob
Schibley, residents of Manasuan, N.
J. All three are married. Hale leaves
a family Of eight and Schibley two
children.
Last winter the legislature of New
Jersey appropriated $1,000 to rebuild
in concrete the butts of the rife range.
The quartermaster general was put in
charge of the work. 1t had been com.
pleted with the exception Of the frame
work in the 600-yard pit 1t was here
the men were working.
Colonel Olcott says the accident
was caused by the men removing the
braces too soon. The accident will
not interfere with the holding of the
interstate contests in August and Sep
tember.

REJOICING AT ITHACA.
Victorious Crews Received an Ovation
on Their Return.

Ithaca. June 24.-For the first time
since 1876 citizens of Ithaca welcomed
yesterday three winning Cornell
crews at one time. AS the train
bearing the victorious oarsmen pulled
into the station cannon doomed a
welcome and the cracking of small
arms in hundreds of hands added to
the din. Every factory whistle in the
city was tied down for half an houl
as the cavalcade marched through the
principal streets.
Two thousand persons Joined the
line of march and on almost every
house Cornell's colors were displayed,
as were new brooms to symbolic the
clean sweep made by the oarsmen
last Saturday. Business generally
was suspended After spending sew
eral hours marching around the town
the procession halted at the Ithaca
hotel, where an elaborate banquet
was rendered the athletes. President
]. G. Schurman of the university offer
ed the oarsmen hearty congratulations
on their victories while the populace
accorded a magificent ovation to
Coach Charles E. Courtney, the "old
man" of Ccrnells navy.
Just before the train bearing the
crews reached the city the members
of the varsity eight-oared crew elected
John P. Frenzel of Indianapolis, Ind,
as captain for 1908. Frenzel has
long rowing record. He was a men,
ber of his freshmen eight and rowed
in 1900, 1901 and 1902 second varsity
crews. He stroked the four Dared

"CLEVERLY WRITTEN"
So Say the Operators of Mr..
Mitchel's Address.


Arbitration-Thinks He Will oper

on Strike-Speculation on National
Convention.
New York, June 24.-President II.
M. Olyphant of the Delaware and
Hudson company made the following
comment on the statement of Presi.
dent Mitchell of the United Mine
Workers of America issued in reply
to that OF the operators, in which the
correspondence leading up to the
strike was made public:
"Mitchell's statement is misleading
and unreliable as to facts and figures.
If Mitchell proposes to call out the
bituminous miners and paralyze the
entire industries of the country he will
find that he has taken upon his
shoulders job bigger than he is able
to cope with.
There will be no arbitration that
is certain. We will operate our
mines again with the men that are
on strike now. They will only be too
glad to come back and no strike leader
will be able to keep them out"
Mr.. Olyphant declined to enter into
any detailed denial of the assertions
made by President Mitchell.
Thomas p. Fowler Of the New York
Ontario & Western, said: 81 have had
no time to read Mitchells statement.
Therefore, of course, have no COM
ment to offer When l have read it
