Lithuanian. The three forelgn-speak.
Ing delegates favored the acceptance
Of the proposition.
Reinstatement the Principal objection
The principal objection to accepting
the arbitration proposition was that no
provision was contained in the scheme
to take care of those men who would
fail to get back their old positions or
would be unable to get any work at all.
The engineers and pump men get bet
ter pay than other classes of mine
workers. and they did not wish to run
the risk of losing altogether their old
places and be compelled to dig coal
for q living. This question came up
yesterday, and was argued right up to
the time the vote was taken. No one
had a definite plan to offer to over.
tome the objection, and the report Of
the committee on resolutions recon-
mending that the strike be declared
of, and that all issues be placed in
the hands of the arbitration commits
sion for decision, was adopted with
but the question being settled. A few
minutes before adjournment, however,
n partial solution was reached, when
q delegates in the farthest corner Of
the hall moved that the problem be
placed in the hands of the three execu-
tive boards for solution, and mis- sug-
gestion was adopted. The principal
speech of the day was made by Ma
tional Secretary-treasurer w. B. VIII
son, who practically spoke for Presi-
dent Mitchell and the national organi-
Eation. In a strong argument he
eounseled the men to accept srbitra-

HORSES
WERE RECOVERED
Superintendent Blackburn of
County Hospital Secured
the Animals

Superintendent Blackburn, of the
New Castle County Hospital, has gain
ed a reputation for himself in police
circles by recovering two horses, that
had been stolen from r. d. Merritt
and a farmer named Lindel, Of War
wick, Nd, last week.
Mr.. Merritt reported the loss Of his
horse to Mr.. Blackburn on Monday
morning, and while both we're coming
to this city for the purpose of inform
ing the police of the theft, they noticed
two men riding on horses coming along
the road Mr. Merritt recognized one
of the animals as his property. The
rider was placed in the carriage and
offered to give Mr.. Blackburn trouble
but the latter subdued him. On the
return to the institution the prisoner
broke down and made an appeal to his
captors for his liberty Mr.. Merritt
sympathized with the man, and upOl
his request Mr.. Blackburn allowed th'
I prisoner to go.
Yesterday morning David Merritt,
son of Mr.. Merritt. discovered Lindell
horse in the stable of a colored maj
on the State Road.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 22.-With
shout that fairly shook the convention
building, the representatives of the
a47, 1000 mine workers. who have been
on strike since last May, officially de-
t,lared of at noon yesterday the great.
est contest ever waged between capi-
tai and labor, and placed all the ques-
lions involved in the struggle into the
hands of the arbitration commission
appointed by the president of the Unit
ed States. When the news was fash
ed to the towns and villages down in
the valleys and on the mountains Of
the coal regions the strike affected in
habitants heaved a sigh of relief. Many
days have gone by since more well
come news was received. Everywhere
there was rejoicing, and in many
places the end of the strike was the
signal for impromptu town celebra-
tions. The anthracite coal regions
from its largest city-Scranton-down
to the lowliest coal patch, has suffer
ed by the conflict, and every one now
looks for better times. While the
large army of mine workers and their
families, numbering approximately
100000 persons, are grateful that work
Is to be resumed tomorrow, the strik-
ers have still to learn what their re-
ward Will be. President Roosevelt
having taken prompt action in calling
the arbitrators together for their first
meeting on Friday, the miners hope
they will know by Thanksgiving Day
what practical gain they have made.
The vote to resume coal mining was
D unanimous one and was reached only
after warm debate. During the de-
bate three speeches were made in for

FARMERS CUTTING
DOWN THEIR TREES
Much Valuable Timber Fall
ing Under the Axe of
Soil Tillers

Since the coal strike began and the
demand for fuel increased. farmers
have been cutting timber for which
they received good prices, but it is
doubtful if any tillers Of the soil have
taken into consideration the loss in
the depreciation OF the land value CT
their property they are sustaining. 1t
is conceded that farms which contain
forest land are far more valuable than
property which contains no timber. A
good plan for those farmers who are
Obliged under circumstances to clear
their lands would be to plant young
shoot i'm the place of every large tree
cut down and in this way maintain
the value of their land.

BISHOP STARTED BOOK CONCERN

The Union American Conference
opened this morning at 8 O'Clock with
devotional exercises, led by Bishop b.
T. Ruley. The reports of the bishops
followed. Bishop J. G. Wilmore, of
Chatham, Canada, was the first, and in
the course of his talk spoke Of the
death of Bishop James II. Cook, of the
Second EiposcOpal district, which Oc-
CURED in New York. He also told of
his visit to London at the Academic
Conference in October, 1891, as dele
gate from this conference.
Bishop Ruley spoke at length regard
ing the printing establishment of the
conference located in this city. The
name of the plant is the Union Book
Concern, and it has done much for the
Conference. The Bishop is responsible
for its establishment at a cost of $4,000
He also recommended the starting of a
Theological school in this city. He
further stated there should be more
system in the Sunday schools.
In his remarks he stated further
that prayer books would be a good in.
novation in the church, so that the
prayers for each day might be said
This caused quite a sensation as to in
stituting of prayer books in Methodist
churches is, indeed, something new. He
hopes to raise $4,000 for the rwen'
tieth Century Fund.

NEW PAVILION
IS FINISHED.
Building for Park Of Both
Ancient and Modern Ar
chitecture
STANDS ON BANK OF STONE
Is Near Washington Street Bridge
and Is Most Pretentious Building
Attempted by CommissIon--Cost
S2,7lo---Dam Talk

The new navilion In Brandywino
Park, north OF Washington street
bridge, is receiving it's fni.hing
touches, and It Is both a credit 10 the
Park Commission and TO the city Of
Wilmington. II is one OF the most pre-
tentious buildings yet attempted by
the commission.
The contract was let last fall for fits
erection, but with the understanding
that operations should not begin until
the spring on account OF the cold
weather interfering with the plaster.
Accordingly work was started In April.
There was considerable talk about the
length OF time consumed upon its erec-
ton, many thinking the city was being
buncoed, but such was not the case,
the building having been constructed by
contractor whose bid was received
before the work began.
The building is of both ancient and
modern architecture It is rhirty-four
feet In diamtor with Ionic pillars,
arch and ballustrade, while the dome
Is OF a more modern type. The plans
we're drawn by Park Engineer Theo-
dore A. Leisen. The total cost Of the
building was s2,71O.
Objections to Cost
It was the opinion Of many that too
much money had been spent upon its
construction and that a rustic house
would lhave been much better.
It stands majesticaHy upon the edge
Of bed Of solid rock, a silent sentinel
overlooking the park below.
This building will be there a century
from now under favorable conditions,
and should a wooden structure have
been placed there it would require but
a few years to make 1t entirely unfit
for its surroundings. which are being
improved all the time
The pavilion Is situated on the edge
! OF wall of stone, possibly more than
ona hundred feet above the driveway
just north Of Washington street bridge,
within stones throw of the site where
the Old Kings Highway passed
through the park. This was the stage
, road from Philadelphia to Baltimore,
and Il was here that Washington, with
his army. passed over the Brandywine,
made famous by the revolutionary
manoeuvers of his army IL is on a
spot where quarry was located many
yenrs ago Something had TO be done
TO the embankment as almost every
heavy raon caused earth to tumble into
the driveway below Accordingly q
wall was built to prevent the driveway
! being blocked and the pavilion was
placed on top and as the years roll by
and the rocks become moss and vine
covered. the cleaning white of the
structure will stand boldly out fitting
