needs OF the Norfolk and Western Rail-
way. which has about three hundred To-
comotives to supply with fuel. II the
strike lasts as it may be expected. the
stock now in the yards will net be suf-
ficient to keep the locomotives going.
Cargo coal, which is sent from here
to cities on the Atlantic Coast. has di-
m!rished and If the strike continues it
must cease altogether. Hence the coal
situation here il causing anxiety among
the industries which depend on the stock
here for fuel.
The receipts at Lambert's Point now
are small as compared With the average
business of CurTart e. Bullitt, the firm
which handles the Pocahontas supply.

should not be surprised il the bell never
left Philadelphia again. Not only from
the residents of that city. but from peo-
pie all over the country protests are
received against taking the bell on any

bell had been in the smashup the other
dag it could hardly have escaped de-

When we arrive in Philadelphia to-
morrow the whole city will turn out to

The four gigantic members of the
Philadelphia police force who have been
guardians of the bell all through the
exposition attracted much attention.
Two OF them are always on duty. They
are William Farrell captain of the

NAkTICOKE MINES
STRONGLY DEFENDED
Company Rushes in Firemen, Pump
men, Engineers, and Guards
During the Night

WfLKESBARRE, Pa, June 9.-When
the people of Nanticoke got up this
morning they found things had been
happening in the night. When they
Invent to bed matters were pretty much
as the strikers wished them to be. The
pumps of the Susquehanna Coal Com
pany mines were at a standstill. The
mines were filling with water.
That was the situation when the Nan
ticokians went to bed on Sunday night
When they came out Of their homes this
Monday morning a radical change had
come over the complexion of matters
The barbed wire Enclosure surrounding
the mines swarmed with men. All was
hustle and activity. Urmistakable pre-
parations were under way for running
the pumps with a full force of men.
A Complete Surprise.
Not a soul in the town know when
these newcomers arrived. Even the
crew of the special train did not know
their destination until they were dis
embarked close by the company's
grounds at BIS o'clock this morning.
There were engineers. fremen, and
pumpmen in sufficient numbers to man
all the pumps. In addition to these
there was strong guard of armed men
to protect the workers and the colliery.
All told, there were 200 men.
1t was a complete surprise. Not a
word or a hint had got out OF the COM
paEy's plans. The strikers were be-
wildered with the new complication that
confronted them. They are still con-
fused by it and apparently have not as
yet been able to form any plan to meet
it.
The arrangements of the company are
very complete. A car repair shop 200
feet long by so feet wide win be turned
into barracks. At one end of it is a
kitchen with force of cooks and at
-tendants Comfortable hunks are provid-
ed for the me nto sleep in. There is a
barber in attendance, bath room has
been equipped, all the daily papers will
be provided as well as magazines and
other reading matter. there are cards
and a ping pong equipment to while
away the time when off duty. and there
is an abundance OF free pipes, tobacco
and cigars.
