Yesterday Tuesday, the Republi-
can convention for the Fourth Con-
gressional District was held at Elem
ington. The day was beautiful, and
the trains brought full compliment
of delegates and spectators.
Mercer county sent train load of
about three bundled, accompanied by
Winkler's splendid Second Regiment
Band. At Lambertyille a number of
delegates from the town and along
the Belvidere Division increased the
throng, and the parade through the
streets of Pennington was quite an
unusual one. 1t is not likely that
Pennington has ever been visited by
a larger, finer or more enthusiastic
body of delegates to a political con-
yention.
AT 1l.30 the convention was called
to order in the court house by Stephen
X. Large, chairman of the congress
sional committee, who stated that
the Hon. Charles Place, of Somerset,
had been selected as temporary chair
man and Alex. G. Yard, of Mercer, and
Percival Christy, of Hunterdon, as
secretaries.
Mr. Place made mn excellent speech
upon taking the chair, after which the

Ten Car Loads of Rolling Mill Mater

riving-M. j. Benjamin Here from
Bradford to Build Thirty Houses for
Peninsula Company.
Ten car loads of material to be
used in the construction of the Roll
ing mill of America have arrived in
Morgantown. They came from Con-
nellsulle last night and await the
formal signing of the contracts to be
unloaded and to be put in place.
The contracts are not yet signed.
But one matter remains TO be adj
iusted and when his is done the work
will go ahead. 1t is regarded as
certain that this can be arranged.
Mr.. Sturgiss would not state what
this matter was but said that all of
the details of the contracts had been
agreed upon and that it was certain
that the plants would come here.
Along with the coming of this
material four car loads of rails to be
used by the NJ. and K. came in
Part of these go down on the Full
mer mine siding and the rest on the
NJ. and K. extension into Preston
county.
M. j. Benjamin of Bradford who
represents the Tuna Manufacturing
company is in town and is stopping
at the Peabody. He was seen by a
representative of this paper this af-
ternoon and stated that work had
already started GU the thirty houses
which his firm is to build for the
Peninsula Land Company above
town.
He said that the houses were to
be completed within three months
and would cost from $1,000 to ST..
600 each being of very substantial
character.
An office is being built and the
work will be directed right on the
ground. Seventy-five men will be
employed and they will be obtained
wherever they can be found.

claimed, has been in existence for the

been to create an electrical supply

charged, have blacklisted, boycotted

MINERS TALK TO GOV. STONE.
Leaders Summoned Before Pennsyl
vania Executive to Tell of
Strike Situation.

Harrisburg, May 2S.-The situation
in the anthracite coal region was dis
cussed at a conference between Gov,
ernor Stone, Attorney General Elkin
and Thomas Duffy, T. d. Nichols and
John Fahy, district presidents of the
United Mine Workers, yesterday in
the governors private Office at the ex-
ecutive department The mine work
ers came here by invitation of the
governor to explain the exact situa-
ton in the strike region and the pros
poets of an early adjustment of the
trouble between the coal operators
and the striking miners.
President Fahy said the strikers
were obeying the law and that he did
not apprehend any violence would
justify the operators to call on the
state authorities for the militia. The
miners urged the governor to pardon
Thomas Harcur, who is serving three
years in the Pottsville jail for rioting
at Oneida during the anthracite strike
in 900. Harcur's associates were
pardoned last October and his case
has been pending before the board of
pardons since its recent meeting. A
protest has been filed against the APP
plication by the Schuylkill coutny au-
thorities.

on piles of building material
The accident occurred just as the
head of the parade had passed the

TWO CENTS
SCENES OF HORROR
Witnessed BY a Morgantown
Man in Tennessee.

Two Hundred men killed Like rats In
aTrap in d coal Mine-0ne Thousand
Dependents Left without support
Mine Said to Have Been Neglected BY
State Authorities.
Several days ago a mine explosion
occurred In Tennessee in which more
than two hundred men lost their lives.
They were caught like rats in a trap
and smothered to death If they had
been unfortunate enough to escape in
slant death. Mr.. w. G. Kunkle of
Morgantown who was in the vicinity
at the time has written letter about
1t from which the following extracts
are taken:
aYou have no doubt heard OF the
mine explosion that occurred at Coal
Creek. But you have but little ioea
of the distress caused by IL from the
newspaper accounts. An appeal was
sent out for help to bury the dead i'm
mediately after the work Of the rescue
began
II was at Clinton and went up to
do what could. However when the
scene was reached plenty of help had
arrived and there was little left to
do"
Two hundred and eleven bodies have
been recovered from the mine and CIV
en- Christian burial. One man es-
capped out of the whole number In the
mine at the time Of the explosion.
He was blown out Of the main entry
by the force of the awful explosion
1.-THE majority OF the men died OF
suffocation although quite Number
of them were killed by the explosion.
ssIt was heart rending sight. A
thousand women and children are
left dependent on charity by the
death of those who supported them.
Several Of the dead had letters on
their person, written while they were
hopelessly wasting for certain death,
"They were found for the most
part in groups Of ten to twenty hud-
died together. These were the men
who were not killed outright. or
course they realized that their cases
were hopeless. Only in one or two
instances had the entombed miners
made any attempt to get out.
"An inquest has been started but 1t
is hard to tell where the blame If any
will fall. 1t is said that the state
mine inspector was bribed by the COM
pany and that he had made no ex-
animation whatever OF the mine for
two years.
l hope that this is not true as
know him very well and have always
regarded him as very good man.
Thu principal owner of the mine is
man of unsavory reputation but
wealthy"

EX-GOVERNOR O'FERRELL

Visit MOrgant0wn.

The following letter from ex-Gover-

RICHMOND, Virginia, May 26.--
Your very kind letter Of the 18th inst,
extending to me an invitation on be-
half Of Hoffman Post, to the services
and ceremonies to be held on Decora-
ton Day, at Morgantown, was duly
received. Approaching the honor
done me and reciprocating fully the
spirit that prompted the invitation, |
have delayed reply in the hope that

fessional engagements covering the
day named, but after an earnest effort,

Union and Confederate Veterans, un-

common Constitution.
l trust it may not be indicate fer
me to say, that ] will be with your
Post next year, if / am favored with a
similar invitation.
Your fattering allusion to me as a
soldier makes me feel little proud.
Like the now living soldiers OF both
sides, was quite young in the DAYS
when the sons Of the North and South
wrote their deeds and names upon
pedestals immortal as American sol

The years that have interviewed
since that sad drama, have led Tile,
more and more, to regard the achieve
ments and glories of each Army as
diadems in the crown of American
soldiery.
These years have given time fl
cool reflection too, and as we look back
now, we all realize that the gOnfeder-
ate soldier and Union soldier were
equally honest, equally patriotic In
the light of their teachings, equally
brave and heroic, and each ready and

Peninsula Real Estate is Being Boost
ed by the Company-Contract let for
Thirty new Houses for the Mariila
Glass Factory People-Letter W hich
is Self Explanatory.
DR.. I. G. White, President OF the
Peninsula Land Company has issued
the following letter to the agents Of
the company who are selling the lots.
The letter explains itself. The fact
that contracts have been let for a
large number OF houses by this COM
pany will make the lots look much
better than even they have looked
before. Others will build on this plat
before very long The letter is as
follows:
You are hereby instructed to raise
the price of all the lots that have
been placed in your hands for sale by
the Peninsula Company as follows:
On June 1st you will add rs per
cent to the price OF all unsold lots,
and on July 1st % per cent more.
These two increases in price will
still leave these lots at remarkably
cheap figures for anyone seeking good
investments, since the original prices
were made extremely low in order to
encourage others to assist the PENN
sula Company in building homes for
the workers in the Marilla factory.
AS most people know, the Marilla
Window Glass Factory Is entirely CO.
operative and as its workers and own
ers will be composed OF the best men
from several factories It's success is
assured.
The certain location OF several 9th
er great plants in this beautiful
Decker's creek valley, makes the lots
of the Peninsula Company rare in
vestment since their present prices are
sure to be trebled inside of year.
Many that have purchased have al
ready been offered so per cent adj
vance on their bargains.
The Peninsula Company has closed
contract for first class steel bridge
to connect the Peninsula with the
factory grounds, and its completion
is guaranteed by July 10Th.
The company has also this day en-
tered into a contract with one of the
largest housebuilding firms in the
country, for the early completion OF
80 houses which will be scattered ovei
all portions of the property shown
upon your plats. These houses will
all be plumbed for gas, water, bath,
closets, ETC., and first class in every
respect. AS this contract means the
immediate expenditure of $50, 900 If
cash by the Peninsula Company dis
tributed around upon every portion o.
the property, you can readily see thai
the instructed advance In the price O.
the lots is fully justified, since they
are nearer to the center of the city
than any other lots on the market to
day at anything like the cheap prices
asked. Peninsula Company
