FIRED ON
FROM
AMBUSH
Attempt TO Assassinate Mine
Superintendent at Wi|kesbaTre.

Wikesbarre. Pa. June 12.-It was
learned at the office OF the Lehigh Valley
Coal company today that an attempt was
made last night on the life OF Superinten-
dent Thomas Thomas. OF the William A.
colliery OF the Lehigh Valley company. at
Old Forge. north OF this city. For the
last four days crowds have been gathering
each morning and evening on a hill which
overlooks the colliery and throwing stones
at the men at work within the enclosure.
The day and night superintendents do
not live I'm the colliery, but are taken TO
and from the place on a locomotive. Last
night the superintendent reached the col
lery safely. A few minutes later Supt
Thomas came out and when about 800
yards from the breaker he says, num-
Der OF men who were in ambush opened
fire on the locomotive. Fortunately the
engine was travelling rapidly and IL was
soon out OF range OF fire. The officials
say about 10 shots were fired.
The miners union is doing everything
possible to have its idle men at that point
keep the peace. Old Forge is In Lacka-
wanna county. just across the Luzerne
county line. Sheriff Schadt has several
deputies stationed at that point.
This was pay day at all the Lehigh VAL
ley colieries I'm thes Wyoming Valley for
the engineers. flremen and pumpmen, fire
bosses, clerks and other company en-
ployes for the last two weeks OF May.
Most Of the engineers, firemen and pump
men are now on strike. The pay cars are
well guarded by coal and iron policemen.

Pretoria, Wednesday. June lin all
10. 225 Beers have surrendered up 20 date
Many are youngsters of III years old and

have surrendered are Saptuagenarians.
Reports from all the districts say that
the burghers are increasingly friendly
The only bitterness observable among the
leading Beers here is against France and
Germany.
They declare the war was protracted
unnecessarily owing 10 hopes held out by
the French and German press Some or
the Boers are so incensed that they have
expressed the hope that some day they
will fight on the side OF the British
against one Of these powers. The antici-
pated friction between the surrendered
poers and their former comrades OF the
national scouts has not materialized TO
any extent.
The Beers admit they received ammuni-
tion through Portuguese territory.

: without the Use of Alcohol.

The London Temperance Hospital, which
was founded in 1873 for the treatment oil
medical and surgical cases without the use
of alcohol, has just issued its twenty-eightl,
annual report.
1t covers the period OF 1900, and states
that during that year 1889 in-patients were
admitted, being 72 fewer than in 1899
The cases cured were $751; relieved 234
unreieved, so. The deaths were III. OF
which no fewer than 50 occurred within
twenty-four hours of admission. The
death rate is therefore 81 per cent, which
may be regarded as moderate. Exclud-
ing moribund cases the death rate was 6G
per cent From the opening of the hospi-
tai in 1873 the in-patients have numbered
1870, the cures have been 1882, and the
deaths 1850, giving the low death percent
age OF ~. The out-patients treated in 1909
were 1927, who made 81 ,0l5 visits. in
1899 the figures were 1928 and 2,043 respec.
tiveiy. The casualty patients in 1900 were
J4,0l2, and their visits 32.36l In 1899 the
figures were l2,545 and 3O,656 respectively.

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.


R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review Of
trade says: Although the shortest
month OF the year was further curtailed
by two holidays and handicapped by the
most severe storms of the winter, in
dustrial and' trade results were most
satisfactory. The closing week brought
a general resumption of activity in lines
that suffered from the weather, and
preparation for an exceptionally heavy
spring business was reported at many
points.
Wheat came into sight rather more
freely than year ago, and the Atlantic
shipment of -four made better COM
parison than in recent preceding weeks,
but total exports of wheat from the
United States, -four included, we're
5,I85,o52, against 4,32424o bushels a
year ago. Corn showed loss in both
movements.
Failures for the week numbered 2fs
in the United States. against I7o last
year, and thrty-fve in Canada, against
thirty-one last year.
The Fulton County news. [volume] (McConnellsburg, Pa.) 1899-current, 1902-03-13

The last census showed that there
were in the whole country 5.427,767
bachelors against 3,224,494 spinsters,
an excess of 68 per cent of bachelors
over the unmarried women. There
was not any state in the Union that did
not have more bachelors than single
women, even Massachusetts, exhibiting
a small fractional overplus Of unat-
tached males of marriageable age.
To account for this situation OF af-
fairs 1t was explained that, the mass of
each state being paired off by mar
riage evenly as between the sexes, only
a relatively small fraction of single
persons old enough to marry was left
over. In most states the male part OF
this fraction was much in excess of the
female part. And II must also be re-
membered that women marry much
younger than men.

Of everybody connected with the institu-
tiol, Now we have 2O00 insanity cases a
yea at the hospital"
Mr. Richard opened book and showed
that during the year 1893 1850 men and
945 women had been sent TO the hospital
as insane patients. OF the whole number
oniy l03 had been discharged as cured or
no. insane, while IT'S men and 745 worlen
