DEMAND MADE
FOR FIGURES
Coal Strike Commission ke-
quests Them From Opera
tors and Miners
TESTIMONY IS WASTING IIN'

scranton. Pa. Dec. S.--It is exlec'eu
that the mine workers win cousin N an
of this week in presenting to th|' an
thracite coal strike commission IL
side of the controversy with the eh a.
onerators. The miners have cOnsum@
Il days thus far in presenting theiF
testimony, and expect to take fully as
much more time. While no one posi-
lively knows, it is estimated that the
cmplovcrs will take about 10 days TO
submit the information they desire the
commission TO have. It is probable
that the commission will adjourn lot
Christmas about December %.
The commission today asked the at
torneys for both sides "a present what
figures they already have prepared, so
that the arbitrators can study them.
When they receive them, II they are
not exactly the kind thcS want the
commission will ask for additional
figures. and will again request those
who are not yet ready TO present their
figures. to make an extra effort TO eN-
pedlte the work of computation. The
commission has no desire to unneees-
sarily hurry any one, but feels that all
interested should work rs rapidly as
possible. Some time has been wasted
in the herring of testimony because
Of the widA range II has taken. While
members Of the commission admit the
irrelevancy OF some OF t. they are
loatho TO curtail the privileges OF the
oontending parties. because they do
not wish to have any one make com
plant that they we're shut out from
giving information.
The arbitrators are daily receiving
letters from persons residing IN al
parts OF the country, in which tho com
mission are advised how TO act in tho
present investigation. No attention Il
paid to any Of the letters. A grca
number OF the communications, nearl!
majority OF thom. make pleas for thu
protection Of the non.union men.

Terrell, Texas, about 10 O'Clock Thurs
day night. The engineer. George Clark,
and the fireman, George Wells. were
killed.
The exact cause of the wreck is not
known but there must have been some de-
feet in the track for the train was only
running about 80 miles an hour and that
time would not be fast enough to cause an
engine to leave the track.
The cars derailed were the baggage car
and the mail car. besides the engine
which rolled over in the ditch. crushing
Fireman George Wells and killing him in
stantly. George Clark, the engineer, was
not crushed, but he was SO badly scalded
that he died a short time after he was
taken to the hospital in Fort Worth 1t
could not be learned here exactly where
Wells and Clark resided but it is thought
that they live in either Fort Worth or
Chickasha, as their run is between those
points.
The wrecking crew was called from
Fort Worth Immediately after the acci-

and a train which was made up at Fort
Worth was run on through. No. is due

THE ORIGINAL JACOB.
Henry Watterscn Again Pays Re

Louisville, Ky, Dec. BIN the Courier
Journal Henry Watterson says: Absurd
as fourth presidential nomination on

ordinary minds, the idea conveys no in
congruity or extravaganza to the mind of
Mr. Cleveland himself nor >to the little

If the democracy is to get on its feet
to put itself in fighting condition and to
recover its lost prestige, it will not be

a man who has not only wrecked it, but
who, assuming his own superiority, ha-
bitually set himself up as a law unto
himself. the only original Jacob. as it
were. at once lifelong dssembler and
a chronic candidate for office but in the
wisdom of God, and, 1t may be, in the

MRS. BOOTHS APPEAL.
Needful Articles for the Children and
Fuel to Cook the Dinner.

New York, Dec. 13-An appeal for help
for poor families who are not able to pro-
vide for themselves any Christmas cheer
has been issued by Mrs. Ballington Booth,
from the headquarters of the Volunteers
OF America, IS Cooper Square.
I'VE are not asking for funds for a big
dinner at which the lndiscriminate crowds
may be fed for once" says Mrs. Booth,
but our method of helping the needy is
to take Christmas into the homes in a
more lasting and practical manner. We
personally visit the families to be helped,
learning the ages. sizes and number of
children. We try to give a serviceable
outfit to each child and provide a turkey
and groceries for the Christmas dinner,
also giving the fuel necessary;for in many
instances the gift of turkey would seem
mockery where the stove is cold and the
pocketbook empty.
Scores of stockings are filled with
these small gifts in which children de-
light. and many little ones who have be-
lieved that Santa Claus existed only for
the rich and fortunate have awakened to
find with delight that the wonderful rein
deer has stopped at the door"
