In the hearing in the divorce case of
Frank A. Compton against Carrie He'd
glin-Com pton-Stack at Scranton this
week it was testified that on October 90,
1900, Compton and Carrie Hedglin went
to Scranton to be married. 1t was Sat

closed, and therefore they could not get
a license.
A friend told them they could be
married at once, and at his suggestion
the bridegroom bought blank certif-
cate and filled it out, and 1t was then
handed to the bride, who was told that
she was married by accepting the paper.
For three weeks she lived with Compton
as his wife at Nay Aug, then left him.
Miss Hedglin on October 23 last was
married to Paul Stack. Compton is
now asking for divorce, contcnding
that the woman is still his legal wife.

a tenement occupied by the families OF
Mike Roscoski, Charles Beittmeir, Joe
Rynock, Charles Bonjar, Pat Mulhearn
and Anthony Gallagher The latter re-
sided in the eastern end Of the building
and it was in a cooking shanty Joined to
his house that the fire started.
The origin is unknown, but it is sup
posed that some clothing that was close
to the stove became ignited and set the
building afre. Before the Gallagher
family were aware of the fire the flames
reached the house in which the family,
composed of the parents and six chill
dren, were sleeping. They had mar
row escape from death, and got out in
their night clothing, one boy saving Il
pair of trousers and Mrs. Gallagher a
wrapper that was close to her bed.
The Mulhearn family lost all their
goods that were on the second floor.
Those on the first floor were removed
before the fire reached their house and
the other four families succeeded in
saving all their furniture and goods.
The total loss Is more than $500.
When the fire was discovered there
was no help and no means of fighting
tho flames. The building burned slow
ly and had there been hose and a
stream of water the fire could have
been beaten. As there were neither

came was directed to save the goods of

All the outbuildings were destroyed.

The Card Question.

At mass meeting of the United
Mine Workers locals of Nanticoke and
vicinity the following was adoped:
Whereas, The mine workers in this
vicinity, representing six local unions,
in mass meeting assembled, having
heard reports from different collieries
as to the showing of working cards be-
ing favorable TO our cause, and hearing
also that there are some employees who
still ignore our request and also our or
ganization, be it therefore
Resolved, That we postpone definite
action until the Sd, 4th and 5th days of
March, when the next showing of cards
takes place, and on the morning of the
5th day of March, 1902, all employees
who have not the union working card
in sight will be classed as non-union EN-
pl ,yes and we will then and there re-
fuse to descend into the mines or work
with such until they become members
of our organization.
This is the most important move made
by the union in some time. The mines
affected are the Bliss, 951 men, and the
Auchincloss, 697 men, of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western, and Shaft
No. 5, 1921 men; No. 6, with LIZA men,
and No. Z, with 1,43S men, of the Sus-

ANTHRAC|TE'S
ANNIVERSARY
First Use Of Hard Coal
Quietly Celebrated.
Old Crate in Which the Ex-
pertinent Was Made One
Hundred Years Ago Used
Again.

The centennial of the discovery of the
value of anthracite coal as fuel was
celebrated at Wilkesbarre yesterday at
the old Fell House. In the CRATE in
which coal was first ignited one hundred
years ago, F. j. and n. II. Weiss, the
proprietors of the Fell House, had a
fire burning.
The old fireplace was draped with
bunting and surrounded with clusters
of flags and flowers In the centre of
the decorations beneath a card bearing
the legend This is the CRATE" was a
fac-simile of old Jesse Fell's record of
the first attempt to burn coal. 1t reads:
MADE the experiment Of burning the
common stone coal of the valley in CRATE
in a common fireplace in my house, and
find it will answer the purpose of fuel
making cleaner and better fire than
burning wood in the common way.
Jessie Fell"
Some historians claim that .the an
thracite centennial does not occur until
1908. There has been much controversy
over the matter, bat the Weiss brothers
decided that it would be best to hold the
celebration early in the century. There
were no set exercises yesterday, but the
room was kept open and many visitors
permitted to see the old CRATE.

Country Inns In England.

A noted traveller says he has sam
pied a large number of hotels in his
time-even in Greece-but for bare
faced dishonesty in the making Of
bills the bluff British landlord takes
first place. "After charging twice
what his food and rooms are worth he
tacks ON a further charge for service,
another for lights. another for bath,
another for fire. In short, my expert
ence of country inns in England-and
1 can speak with some authority-is
that / pay as much day at shabby
little country inn Of England, where
the food is poor and Ill cooked, the at
tendance inferior and the beds poor, as
/ would at a good hotel in such towns
as Springfield, Mass, or the very best
in Switzerland or Germany. Indeed, it
must have struck the average Ameri-
can that the incompatible Baedeker
hardly ever finds it possible to recon-
mend an English hotel"
