Miners ADOPT Resolutions.

The following resolutions were adopt
ed at the Joint mass meeting Of all
locals of United Mine Workers, which
was held in ST. Mary's hall last Satur-
day, concerning the statement made by
Benjamin Griffiths at Hughestown, Pa:
Sub-headquarters of United Mine Work.
ers of America. North Scranton.
Whereas, 1t was brought to our notice
that man named Benjamin Griffiths
tried to injure our cause by stating at
Hughestown, Pa, June q. 1902. that n
meeting of 1900 miners held at provi-
dence Pa. said that they were going to
work If they had to break away from the
union; that their families were starving
and that they had stayed out as long as
they could and that they were dissatis-
fled because the coming convention was
put off to such late date and that he,
the said Griftiths, would do the same.
We wish to state that there was never
such meeting held in Providence nor
the said words uttered at any time in
this section of the district, by any body
of miners in any meeting held. But at a
meeting held a motion was carried by all
present, that we, the 1000 miners of the
North End, have implicit trust in our Of
ticers and that we stand shoulder to
shoulder to win this strike If it takes
all summer and winter to win.

Aldermanic Doings.

John Zies, a middle-aged man, who
has been married twenty-nine years,
was brought before Alderman Lentes
yesterday, on charges of assault and
battery, desertion and non-support,
preferred by his wife. The complain
ant, who resides with her grown-up
children on Froude avenue, alleges that
the head of the family does not live at
home, nor does he contribute anything
to the familys support. Zies claims
that the walk from the family resi-
dence to where he works is too much
for him, and for that reason he resides
with his sister on Prospect avenue. The
couple We're given some good advice by
the alderman, and the case was post
poned for settlement.
Frank Salewesky and Constantine
Ivanofsky, of Priceburg, were arrested
on charges preferred by Charles Bial-
kowsky, of 3l2 Maple street. 1t was

and waived hearing.
The same parties We're then arraigned
by Mrs. Bialkowsky, for malicious mis-
chief, because they broke the fence and
did other damage to obtain the sand,
They again entered bail and waived a
hearing.
John Petrovtch, who purchased some
of the sand, was also required to give
bail for receiving stolen goods.

river (purely misnamed), which was
over our tracks. At this place we
learned that water lined both sides Of
the tracks for three or four miles, and
that it had washed out the roadbed.
and that a hundred men had worked
all day with timbers and sand bags to
keep the road intact.
We proceeded slowly as we came near
the flood, and as we crossed break
where the water was rushing through
like mill-race and the timbers creaked
as the heavy trucks came onto them,
the CONSERVATION of women, yes, and
of many men, was intense. For a full
half-hour we dragged slowly along over
these bad places, wondering in the
pitch darkness whether we would ever
strike solid ground again, until finally
the end came, and we We're again be-
yond the waters and making good time
for our destination. None of us care
to have another such experience.
AS the sun arose the next morning,
we were glad we were on high ground,
above all streams and all floods. and
that we would soon be in sight Of old
Pixies Peak. AS we sped along across
the high tableland, covered with prairie
distance the one-story adobe huts Of
the ranchers, surrounded by sheds for
the stock, and the always present wind
mill. Occasionally one would be sur
rounded by few trees for protection
from the winds, while scattered here
and there were herds of cattle or
horses. Nearer the tracks we passed
groups of prairie dogs, many of them
sitting upright on their little mounds,
looking comical. Indeed They are quite
human, for they always dwell in
groups, never scattered.
When within some thirty miles of
Colorado Springs, we caught the first
glimpse of Pixies Peak looming up
against the sky, with her pink top and
black body, surrounded by the group of
smaller peaks, altogether making a
grand picture, indeed. At 1890 on Fri
day, just fourteen hours late, we
stepped off our train, 5000 feet above
Scranton and 5000 below the top Of
Pixies Peak, into one of the pleasant

Car Panic-Other News Notes
and Personals.

Mary Holleran, resident of Minooka,
was painfully injured by a rather un-
usual accident to a South Side car yes
terday. The car was inward bound
from the city line, and had reached a
point opposite the residence of DIR. j.
j. Walsh, on Pittston avenue, when the
motor burned out Flashes and sparks
filled the car almost instantly, and the
passengers were panic-stricken.
All made rush for the exit, and the
rush to escape was so fierce that many
fell from the platform in Il heap. All
escaped injury except Miss Holleran,
who was found to have sustained a
fractured leg. After being cared for in
DR.. Walsh's office, the sufferer was sent
home in a carriage.
The disabled car, after being stalled
for some time, was removed to the

Z YITH BRIGHT visions of sunshine
M and a clear atmosphere, we
w left the region of rain, last
Tuesday, July 8. on the 1.55 p. m. train
of the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western for Colorado Springs.
The ride to Buffalo was devoid of
special interest, excepting perhaps the
sight of acres of flooded land at differ
ent points. AT Buffalo, at $50, we took
a sleeper on the Wabash for Chicago,
where we arrived in a drenching rain
at 1850 a. M. making it very unpleas-
ant, in the six hours of leisure, to see
much of the windy City"
In Michigan we noticed that the
wheat was fully ripe for the harvest,
but the rains had kept out the har-
vester, and the farmers were waiting
for fair weather. There We're few oat
fields in sight, but acres of corn of good
color. yet of stunted growth. At 545
p. m. we took the Rock Island flyer"
composed of express, buffet. two sleep
ers, chair, and dining room car, for a
9S-hour ride of 1,O72 miles to this Silver
City.
For two hours we made good time,
came to a halt, learned that the road
bed west Of Omaha was washed out,
and we must head for Kansas City to
get around it. At Trenton we received
orders to go by way Of "St. Joe" for a
shorter cut. Arriving there, orders
came to go to Horton, farther west, to
which place we went after crossing the
foaming, muddy Missouri All through
this territory we saw acres of the
floods. After another wait. we We're
ordered to Topeka Carrie Nations

tion town indeed-for the Kansas river
had so flooded the place and surround
ing country, that about all business
was prohibited.
Here we were ordered to MacFarland,
beautiful town, waited an hour for
orders, then proceeded to Manhattan,
farther towards Belleville, where we
were to strike the main line again. oh
this was fine fun, "scooting" about the
CONTEMPLATING on nobody and none
to leave us-with Il fine appointed dim
ing car-making us independent of the
towns on our way, with bright sum
shine and new things to see constantly,
We had a good natured crowd, who
made the best of things.
At Manhattan, we had two hours,
waiting for orders, which the trainmen
said were entirely uncertain. We had
all day long passed through the fine
farm lands of Missouri and Eastern
Kansas, where we saw thousands of
acres of wheat in the shock, soaked
with the rains. and corn fields flooded
With water, altogether making u sad
picture indeed for the farmers. The
corn was rich i'm color, but short in
size, on account of the continuous rains.
Surely when we lament our bad luck
on account of the great strike, we must
remember that there are Others" for
who can estimate the great loss in
wheat and corn, to the farmer of nearly
the whole west. We saw but few oat
