The Strike Commissions Award,
if Made, Shall Date From
November I, 1902.
THIS AVOIDS FURTHER CONTROVERSY,
The Commission Spent Friday In
spectinE the Manville Mine.
Claimed to BE One of the Worst
i'm the Scranton Region, and the
HabftatiO Ons of the Miners.

Scranton, Pa, Nov. 1.-The first inn
portant action by the anthracite coal
strike commission which is arbitrat-
ing the differences existing between
the miners and their employers was
taken Friday, wheI. it was announced
by Carroll D. Wright, the recorder of
the commission, that if any award af-
fecting the existing rate of wages
should be made, thu award shall be eff
fectiye from November 1. It was
fully expected that this question
would come up before the arbitrators,
but the action of the commissioners
shuts off any possible controversy
that either side may have desired to
raise. The miners wanted the new
scale, if one is made, to date from the
time they returned to work, but the
operators left the matter to be de-
cided by. the commission. The mine
workers are perfectly satisfied, how
ever, with the decision of the commits
sion. The strike has been off only
one week, and most of the men have
not worked more than four or five
days. The announcement of the COM
mission was contained in the follow
ing brief resolution:
Voted, unanimously, that if the
commission, at the conclusion of its
hearings and deliberations, makes any
award affecting existing rates of
wages, such award shall take effect
from November /, 1902"

Sugar Grinding.

Practically all of the sugar fac
tories have entered into the campaign
and are grinding to their full capaci-
ty. The weather recently has been
cool and fairly dry-just such wealth
er as hastens the maturity of the
cane and improves the richness OF the
juice. The traordinary dry wealth
er experienced during the spring and
summer and well into the fall has
naturally produced a light tonnage
on the great majority of plantations,
but the smallness of the canes is in
some measure compensated by the
greater richness of the juice, as well
as the greater ease with which the
canes can be worked. 1t is, of course,
to predict at this early
date the extent of the crop. 1t is al
ways possible that, as the season
progresses, the tonnage may be found
to do better, and certainly the canes
will improve in sweetness, SO that the
deficiency in tonnage may in a large
measure be made good.

BURNED AT THE STAKE
Negro Crem ated in Mississippi for
Murder of Two White Men.
The Murderer Confessed His Crime and
Produced the Money Taken From
the Bodies of His Victims.

Mastodon, Miss. Nov. 1.-The foul
assassination of e. A. Jackson and
Tie Contractor Rozelle, near Darl-
ing, was summarily avenged last night
when negro known only as Bear"
was burned at the scene Of the murder
by mob of 500 citizens Of Pamela and
Quitman counties.
Confession Came Slowly.
Hours of excitement were spent
while Bear" was slowly being forced
to a confession of his crime. When
first captured he implicated four white
railroad men in the deed, but these
easily proved an alibi and were not
long held.
The negro was forced to produce the
ill-gotten money which was his incent-
i've, and when the booty was fully re-
covered the inhuman murderer was
led back to the cabin where he had
slain the two men. He was then
chained to ore Of the walls and enough
of the timber was torn away to build
a funeral pyre about him and a match
applied. AS the wretch began to burn,
the crowd slowly fled away and left
him to his fate.
Bear" Lad been servant to Rozelle
in his railroad camp and had some
times slept in the camp. He knew
that Rozelle often had considerable
sums Of money in his possession. e.
A.. jackson, who ran a liquor resort
at Roane, Miss, had come to Rozelle's
camp on hunting expedition, when
he met death with the owner of the
cabin on Thursday night
When the negro was captured he
showed little concern, but when led
to the scene of the murder became
perceptibly uneasy and exclaimed:
What does this mean?"
1T means that you began this
thing and we are going to finish it."
said the leader Of the mob.
Produced the Money.
The leader then demanded of Bear
where he had concealed the stolen
money. Bear promised to produce 1t,
and when led to the spot dug up SIS.
The leaders knew that he had not pro-
duced all the money and demanded the
rest of it. Bear promised to produce
the balance of it and led the mob four
miles to an old negro's cabin which
he often frequented. He then dug up
1924 in money and checks, which he
had stolen.
Burned at the Stake.
Bear was then conducted back to
the cabin where he had murdered the
two men and tied to railroad iron
placed inside the cabin. One of the
walls of the cabin was torn away and
the timbers piled about his body. The
match was applied and the entire mass
was soon in flames. The crowd of
avengers, of whom at least 100 were
colored men, then dispersed.
A full and complete confession was
obtained from Bear before he was
burned, and the people are entirely
satisfied that proper vengeance was
taken.
Bears Crime.
Bears crime was committed on
Wednesday night near Darling, when
he slew the two white men, Rozelle
and Jackson, in their bed and beat in
their heads until they were almost
unrecognizable. The bodies of the men
wer found Thursday by Will Sanford,
a cattle buyer, who stopped at the
camp. He gave the alarm and large
posse began to hunt for the murderer,
which resulted In the capture and
death of Bear.

INSPECTING THE MINES.
The Party Was Underground for
Two Hours and q HALF

l"o uOufS aHu u nd1Is
Scranton, Pa, Nov. 1.-The commits
sioners spent the entire day in con-
tinuing their inspection of the mines
and the mining region about scran-
ton. They visited the Manville col
liery, operated jointly by the Della
ware & Hudson and the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western companies, in
the forenoon, and the afternoon was
spent in riding through the region on
a special trolley car.
1t is possible that the commission
may make preliminary report on
three principal strike questions. They
are the increase i'll wages, a shorter
working day and the weighing of
coal. After these have been decided
the commission can take up all other
questions without undue haste.
The commissioners were under
ground for two hours and half. The
party consisted of 13 persons.
Judge Gray's Back Ached.
The arbitrators inspected practical
ly the entire underground workings.
They asked numerous questions Of
all men they encountered in the gang
ways or chambers, and did not seem
to mind the discomforts Of the trip.
The Manville is said to be one of the
worst mines in this region for the
miners to work. The veins of coal are
not more than three feet thick, and
the miner has more difficult time in
getting the coal cut than where the
vein is thicker. The commissioners
walked several miles through the
gangways, and owing to the exceed
ingly low roof they had to do their
tramping almost continually in a
stopping position. After the arbi-
traitors had been in the workings an
hour, Judge Gray decided that his
back ached enough, and he came to
the surface, accompanied by Bishop
Spalding.
