there really exists only one Si Plunkard,
and the applause that greeted him and
his carefully selected company was
II glowing tribute to the production.
In the third act, 'threshing day at

Firemen Were DISCHARGED.

The Delaware, Lackwanna and West
ern Company notified the liremen and
engineers at the Avondale colliery on
Sunday last, commencing with Monday
morning they would be expected to ac-
cept the proposition of the company and
adopt the new working rules promulgat-
ed several days ago, whereby one shift
goes on duty at p. m. and work until 5
p. M, when it would be relieved by the
other set, which in turn would be reliev-
ed at midnight by the men who quit
at o'clock.
The men refused to accept the PROPOSE
tion and were discharged. The other
employees returned home as soon as they
ascertained the situation of affairs, and
the result is that the mine is idle.
The Avondale appears to be the only
coliery operated by this company where
they insist upon the men accepting this

III Applications Refused.

The liquor dealers in Pittston, Lu-
zerne borough and other places received
a decided shock on Monday when the
decision of the court refusing Ill applica-
tions for licenses were handed down
Those who were fortunate enough to Sc
cure the coveted licenses received ample
notice without words that Sunday selling
and other violations OF the law will not
be tolerated by the court when brought
to its notice.
The court by its action in refusing
nearly all applications for new houses
also demonstrated that it is the belief
of the judges that there are at present
enough saloons to satisfy the demands
of the people of Luzerne county.
The list OF licenses refused is victory
for the Ant-Saloon League, as nearly
all the saloons and hotels against which
it gathered evidence of Sunday selling

SAD PLIGHT
OF MINERS
Two Men Entombed by a
Heavy Fall Of Coal.
A Large Force Is Working
Night and Day in the
Hope of Rescuing Their
Comrades Alive.

Since Monday evening George and
Frank Stankanus, brothers. have been
entombed in gangway In the Cameron
mine at Shamokin. At great peril a
rescuing party, headed by Mine In
spector Edward Brennan and Superin-
tendent Robert Quinn, have been at
work ever since the big fall of rock and
coal trying to reach the imprisoned
men. An immense lot OF stuff must be
shoveled and dug away before their
fate can be learned.
The fall was caused by the miners fir
ing shot to blow down top coal. The
brothers did not have time to reach the
open, so quickly did the fall follow the
explosion. If bad air is not prevalent
and they were not crushed TO death, the
men will be able to live for some days.
