COAL OUTPUT IS FAR SHORT.
At Anthracite Mines Shortage Is
10000 Tons Daily.

A Wilkesbarre, Pa, dispatch says:-Not-
outstanding the most determind efforts, the
operators in the anthracite field have been
unable to get out the normal output OF coal
since the resumption of work after the late
strike.
Throughout the region the normal output
before the strike was $50, 600 tons day, but
now only SO, 900 tons are being shipped daily
This falling off is due To number of reasons,
chief of which is the condition of the mines
after work was resumed. Immense cave-ins,
falls and bookings of passages were encoun
tered by the men when they entered the cham
l,ers The lack of men during the strike
caused timbermen. in propping up weak places
to place the supports wherever ii came handy,
and in some instances timbers were put in the
middle of the track. When removed, in one
instance, they caused fall of roof nearly so
feet in length. This has taken time to clear "a
way and it will be some time before manyofthe
chambers can be reached, keeping hundreds
of men from reaching their places,
In the cleaning up miners have been forced
to work as laborers, no place being fit for the
cutting of coal. The expansion of the gas
has caused some troublesome breaks and some
of the mines are flooded by reason of the call
ing out of the iremen and pumpmen.
The continued strike of the men employed
in the Hazeton region by the independent
operators has courtailed the output TO the
extent of 55 600 tons a day. These mines
could be worked Immediately, as they do not
have to be pumped, but are drained by an
immense tunnel, which takes off the water
and empties it into a creek miles away.

ing in the most profitable and entertaining
manner. Conversation was heartily INDUCED

by different members of the party, and lastly
the INDUCING of the various innocent games.
These games were kept up until late hour
when the guests were invited to the dining
room to partake of refreshments, consisting
of all the delicacies of the season. The diff
ferent games were again resumed which ex-
tended into the wee srns' hours of the night.
After thanking the hostess for the kindness
and hospitality shown them, while on their
short stay with her. the guests returned to

ROBBERY AT UNION MILLS.
Safe in the Office Of B. F. Shriver & Co.
Blown Open and Robbed Of $4,000.

About one o'clock yesterday morning I.
Herbert Shriver, of the firm of B. F. Shriver
& Co., Gamers, heard loud report, but sup
posing some one had fred gun paid no
further attention to it. His residence is sew
eral hundred yards from their Union Mills
canning establishment. When Edward Croft,
the foreman of the factory, went to the Office
building about O'Clock he discovered q
wreck that startled him. The window panes
were shattered, papers lay all about the floor,
the sefe was open and one door. badly wreck
ed, was about ten or twelve feet away.
Investigation showed that the safe crackers
(there must have been more than one effected
an entrance through window, after breaking
a pane and reaching in and loosening the
catch. After examining the safe they as
detained the tools necessary to accomplish
their work and then went into the factory and
got screw-driyer and pipe wrench. In the
knob of the safe is screw which had to be
removed, and this is what the screw-driyer
was needed for With the pipe wrench the
knob was removed from the door. This left
a hole through which some powerful explosive
was inserted, and the blowing open of the
safe was accomplished.
The robbers obtained about $4,000 In
money from the safe. In the safe were lot
of notes due the 6rm, aggregating about VI, 600.

ascertained until the notes and books were
compared. 1t is not likely they were dis
turbed, as the possession of even one would
be circumstantial evidence of connection with
the safe robbery.

usually sleeps in the room above the office,
but be was at his home here Thursday night
Had he been at Union Mills he would have
heard the preliminary movements of the rob-
hers and frightened them off before the safe
was cracked
NO CLUE TO ROBBERS.
Deputy Sheriff Molter went to Union Mills
early yesterday morning, but could learn
nothing as to the parties who committed the
robbery. Thomas Dawson, a stranger, was
picked up by Officer Jerome near the railroad,
in this city, on suspicion. He said he could
prove where he stayed Thursday night. The
officer got carriage, and guided by the
stranger, drove to the home of Andrew Reese,
near Meadow Branch Church, and proved an
abb by showing that he had been there all
night
Buggy tracks were observed near the Shriver
factory at Union Mills, and two buggies
passed through the toll gate near Silver Rw
about O clock, going north.

The operators complain of scarcity of cars.
The shops are filled with coal cars undergoing
repairs.
The operators say that within week the
immediate demand will be satisfied in New
York, Baltimore, Philadelphia and other large
Eastern cities, while it will take at least six
months steady mining to replenish the storage
yards. They say there is no necessity for any
fear of a coal famine.
