THE LACKAwANNA REGION.
More Success in Inducing Fire
Bosses to Quit Work.

Bosses to quit work.
Scranton, Pa, June 16.-Nearly 100
fire bosses in the mines in the Lack
awanna region refused to make the
usual inspections, Monday, in com
pliance with an order from. Strikers
headquarters asking them to quit,
and thus assist the strikers in win
ming their fight. This is claimed to
be more than half the force of these
workmen in this region, and the re-
suit can not be otherwise than dis
astrous to the mining property, for
with the accumulation of gas, pump
runners can not keep at work. There
are also the dangers of explosions
which only the greatest precautiOn
can provide against. Those fire bosses
who did not quit are confidently ex
pected to do so Tuesday. The COM
panies will find it impossible to fill
the places of these men, as it re-
guires much experience to become
expert in this work.
Reward For a Miscreant.
Robinson, the Delaware & Hudson
deputy. who was shot through the
right lung at OIyphant, late Satur-
day night. by some unknown person,
alleged to be a striker, is still alive
with the chances against him. The
company has offered $1,000 reward
for the arrest and conviction of his
aSSailant.

RETURNING TO WORK.
The Situation i'm West Virginia Is
becoming Critical

Bramwel, w. Va, June 16.-Sev-
eral hundred more strikers returned
to work, Monday, in the Flat Top and
Tug River coal fields, probably half
the number who struck n week ago
having now returned to work. The
remainder now out are becoming des-
perate. Monday morning probably
100 of the strikers, heavily armed,
left Simmons, where there are three
collieries, and started on a march to
Pocohontas. They allege that they
will stop all work there. Many be-
lieve that troops will soon be neces-
sary in this field, as serious trouble
is predicted.

Weather and Crops.

Section Director Bates crop bulle-
tin for the past week says in part:
1.-THE weather was generally favorable
for the usual farm work of the season,
and it was we'll advanced; the culti-
vation of the crops Of corn and cot
ton progressed satisfactorily, as well
as the cutting of early clover hay and
wheat, which is now ripening and
ready for harvest. Corn and cotton
are in finer condition of growth than
perhaps for years, and are unusually
promising. Oats, as a rule, is good,
but in many sections the crop has
been much shortened by the dry
weather. Irish potatoes have suffered
also for want of sufficient moisture,
and the prospective yield is greatly
reduced; in some of the dry districts
the crop will be almost failure. The
tobacco crop is mostly set out and
generally growing off well; sweet po-
tato plants are doing we'll where rains
have fallen. Peanuts are being re-
planted in some places where the seeds
have failed to germinate on account
of rotting. Large areas in peas and
millet have been planted and the
early paintings are in good growth.
Garden products are in good condition
generally. Fruitrprospects are not en-
couraging; pastures in dry districts
have failed greatly. Rains are needles
in some sections of Middle and West
Tennessee"

Striking GOAL MINERS.
Efforts to Bring Out the Fire and
Other Bosses at the Mines Only
Partially Successful.
A MAGNIFlED SHOOTING INCIDENT.
Several Hundred More Strikers Have
Returned to Work In the Flat
Top and Tug River Coal Fields of
West NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Trouble is
Predicted.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, June 16.-As far
as can be learned, the effort of the
strikers to bring out the fire bosses
and other bosses was not as great a
success as was expected by the un-
ion. Information as to the number
that refused to go to work is diff
cult to be had, but it is generally be-
heved the number was not great. The
miners leaders say that half the fire
bosses promised to stop work. In
the absence of reports they say they
can not at this time give figures.
Team Drivers Sympathy.
Jasper Clark, of Toledo, interna-
tional president of the Team Drivers
association, who came here, Sunday
night, to see President Mitchell, said
his union is in entire sympathy with
the miners, and will do everything
possible to help them. If it were nee
essary to call out his men to help
the miners, he felt sure they would
respond.
No One Was Hurt.
There was general shooting af-
fray near the William A. colliery of
the Lehigh Valley Coal Co., at Dur
yea, shortly after midnight, in which
no one was hurt. There are conflict
ing reports as to the nature of the
trouble. Residents of the neighbor-
hood said several coal and iron police
left the colliery after midnight, and
were attacked by a number of men
who were lying in wait. They man
aged to board a car for Pittston, it
is said, without being injured.
Above story Denied.
All this was denied at the office of
the Lehigh Valley Co. The officials
of the company said a number of
Italians were having a celebration,
and they began firing revolvers in the
air. They were not near the colliery.
Four coal and iron police of the COM
Pany were seen at the offices. They
said they came into the city to visit
their families and get clothes. They
deny they were attacked.

Crops in Gibson County.

Farmers around Trenton have been
cutting wheat. The general opinion
is that there will be hardly a half
crop made this year. Cotton is doing
nicely, and the prospects are that Glib
son county will produce her full share
of that staple this year. The high
prices brought by cotton last year in
duced many more farmers to plant
this year than usual. The present
outlook for the corn crop is very en-
couraging indeed.
