4 WEDDING PARTY KISSED.
About One Thousand Women Give Vent
to Their Feelings 10 Church In No
Uncertain Manner.

Worcester, Mass, June 5.-0ne OF
the most sensational scenes ever
witnessed at a church in this city
was enacted at st. Johns Roman
Catholic church here yesterday when
Mary F. Donaher, teacher in the
public schools of Worcester, was
married to DR.. Maurice w. Quinn, o
dentist, of Brocton. As the wedding
party entered the church it was met
with Kisses from 1000 women, who
had apparently gathered for that
particular purpose. A detail OF po-
lice was present to protect the bride
and groom, but they were entirely
powerless to maintain order. The
women rushed by and around them
close to the wedding party and gave
vent to their feelings in no uncer-
tain manner. The demonstration
grew out of the attempted shooting
of DR.. Quinn several days ago by
Miss Bertha Condor, Of this city,
who asserted that Quinn had be-
trayed her under promise of mar
riage.

THE BOER SITUATION
The Leaders to Raise Funds for
Distressed Burghera
WOMEN ANXIOUS TO RETURN HOME.
The Question Of Restocking the Farms On
der Considerstion-King Edward Or
ders Special Thanksgiving Services
for Peace vt All Military Centers.

Pretoria, June 5.-Gens. Botha and
Dslarey and other Boer leaders will
start for Europe shortly for the pur-
pose of raising funds for the dis
tressed burghers. Gen. Schalk-Bur-
ger, who was acting president Of the
Transvaal joined Gen. Botha in adj
dressing an open letter to the burgh-
ers. After referring to the courage
which they had displayed and to their
brave deeds in the field, he called on
them to work together for the social
and spiritual advancement Of the
country. Botha remarked, relative
tO the termination of the war: 1T
Is the happiest day Of my life since
l left school"
The Beers do not anticipate the
least difficulty in bringing in the va
rious commanders. The work Of re-
turning the men to their wives, chill
dren and farms will, however, be
heavy and difficult. 1t is impossible
to send them straight to the Veldt.
1t is absolutely necessary, at this
time Of the year, to have warm shell
ter, and wooden huts have already
been ordered from the coast towns,
to be delivered in sections to each
family. Those who are unable to
return to their former avocations
will be temporarily supported by the
government.
The question Of restocking the
farms is also under consideration.
The main difficulty is to find wheat
and cattle likely to thrive. No great
difficulty is experienced in regard to
horses, as the government is able
to dispose Of great numbers of re-
mounts.
The women in the concentration
camps are anxious to return to their
homes Immediately, but this will be
impossible until a system Of supply
depots for the outlying districts is
established. Gen. Baden-P Powell is ar
ranging for the distribution Of
mounted constabulary in various dis
tricts. The police, railroads and tele-
graphs will be handed over to the
civil authorities as soon as possible
and the restrictions of martial-law
will be gradually relaxed.
Special Thanksgiving for Peace.
London, June 5--King Edward has
ordered that special thanksgiving
services for the restoration of peace

THE MINERS STRIKE.
More Engineers. Firemen and Pumpmon
obey the Call to Quit Work-Many
Mines Filling with Water.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, June 5-More
engineers, firemen and pump runners
obeyed the call of the miners union
and struck yesterday, but in most
instances the coal company officials
were able to fill the places OF the
strikers.
The Associated press correspond
ent was informed by mining official
who has positive information on
the situation that most OF the mines
in the schuylkill region are accumu-
lating water. The Reading company
coIieries. located in that region, are
the chief sufferers. The collieries OF
the Lehigh Valley company and in
dlvidual companies in the same ter
ritory are also slowly filling. In the
IIazIcton, Wilkesbarre and Scranton
districts the condition Is not so bad,
only mine here and there showing
high water.
The Susquehanna Coal company's
colliery No. 5, at Nanticoke, was
forced to shut down its engine, all
the tiremen refusing to 60 to work.
This colliery furnishes power for
the water supply Of Nanticoke and
unless the engines are again started
the borough will have a water fam
inc to contend with. The company,
1t is said, will allow its mines to fill
with water and let the borough get
its water supply as best it can.
1t was comparatively quiet yester-
day in the Wyoming valley. There
was the usual gathering of crowds
at several collieries at starting and
time, but nothing of Sc
rious nature occurred. Some men
we're stoned on their way to and
from work and several were thrown
into pools Of water. The fear OF
bodily harm is causing more men to
quit work than are the arguments OF
the strikers.
President Mitchell said everything
was progressing satisfactorily; that
more men were coming out each day
and that idle men are behaving
well.
