timated that 200 cords of four foot wood
will be required to keep the legislators
warm during the sessiol., and $50 cords of
this amount have already been provided
for. This and the abundance Of political
warmth, which will be on tap, ought to
prevent any frosts in the legislative zone

COAL STRIKE.

Shenandoah, Sept. 30. 0.-Girardville
was seriously disturbed by a violent
mob last night which vented it's wrath
upon non union men who were captur-
ed while returning from their work at
the Bast colliery, Ashland. Three
men were dragged from an engine on
which they were riding and beaten
until they promised not to return to
work. The Fourth regiment is now
encamped on the outskirts of Mount
Carmel and the situation is consider
ably quieter.
Tamaqua, Sept. 30.-Strong lines of
pickets were put out this morning for
the purpose of turning back non union
men. Few additions were made to-
day to the non strikers ranks today
at Summit hill where the interest in
the strike is waning somewhat.
Wilksbarre, Sept. 30. 0.-President
Mitchell is today in secret conference
with three district presid ents. He de-
clines to make a statement regarding
the object but the general opinion
hereabouts is that today's develop.
ments will have largely to do with
ending the strike for there appears to
be some powerful conciliating infiu-
ence at work with that end in view

fiends who have been striking tel for

not result successfully was little short
of miraculous. Dynamite was placed
under the front porch of the residence
of Michael Weldon, fire boss at the
Schuylkill colliery. The explosion
was terrific. The porch was blown
to pieces and the front of the build
ing was wrecked.
All the windows in the neighbor-
hood were broken and the lights were
extinguished Mrs. Weldon and her
two children were thrown from their
beds and are in serious condition
from shock. The entire police force
is working on the case, but as yet the
detectives have discovered no clews
as TO the identity of the guilty part

NEARLY A BL LAZE

The fire alarm Taper in the counting
room of the Vermont Mutual Fire Insur-
ance company's Office was burned out for
the second time on Sunday morning,
caused by the falling of an electric arc
light wire across those OF the fire alarm
system OF the corner of Elm and School
streets.
The first intimation I'll j. Curtis, the
custodian of the building, had of the dam
age being done was on being awakened
at about four o'clock in the morning by
the buZzing of the wires. Coming GOWN
to the counting room he found it filled
with dense smoke caused from the in
tense heat charring the wooden box con-
tanning the Taper, although it was lined
with sheet asbestos.
No serious damage resulted outside the
burning out of the instrument 1t is not
certain that the Taper will be replaced
because of the danger which might result
in the future.

ILL AND DESPONDENT.

Miss Jennie Converse, aged forty
one years, committed suicide on Sun
day by hanging herself from an apple
tree in the lot adjoining the farm
house of julius Converse, her brother,
who resides on the Moretown road
just this side of MiddleseX.
Miss Converse has been employed in
the family of A. O. Cummins of this
city but the first of last April she en-
tered Heaton hospital and underwent
difficult surgical operation, leaving
the institution about two months lat
er. She expected to resume her
duties at the Cummins house on the
first of this month but her physical
condition would not permit. She
was making her home with her broth
er, her father, Joseph Converse,
occupying the adjoining farm. She
has been very Respondent and has in
timated that she would take her life,
saying she was of no use to any one
and did not care to live.
She was closely watched by her rel
atives but on Sunday morning her
brother got up about five O'Clock and
went TO the barn TO milk. His wife
dropped asleep and did not arise until
later. 1t is supposed the deceased
was awaiting this opportunity and
was able to follow her brother out of
the house unobserved. She used a
piece of clothesline to accomplish the
deed and when found about seven
o clock her body was still warm. A
father, brother, half brother and
two half sisters survive. The funeral
was held from .the house at two
o. clock on Tuesday afternoon Burial
in Randolph Center ON Wednesday
morning.

Letter to C. p. Welch.

Dear Sir You can paint your barn with
a good barn paint, if you like. Our agent
may not have it in stock, but will get it
we make it.
What is good barn paint?
1t is paint tina will wear well enough,
look well enough for a barn, and cost
about half by the gallon.
How do you want your barn to look? is
the question Anybody else's barn is an
other matter. Your barn is your business,
your living, your profit. You'd better be
eXtravagant with it. Paint it as well as a
merchant or doctor or lawyer or banker
paints his house
Better paint your barn with Devoe lead
and zinc. 1t costs more a gallon than
baln paiut, but you use less gallons.
Yours truly,

price for they are unable to secure
