Communication by Telephone With
 Girls Parents Before Their Arrival
 New Britain, April 21.-George Go burn, who eloped with Is year old Mamie McAvay, the daughter of Letter Carrier Peter MeAvay, has sent home word to the parents of the child that they are married and want to return. The information came by telephone.
 Coburn called up store on Hartford avenue near the McAvay home, Satur- day afternoon and requested that either Mir and Mrs McAvay come to the tele- phone. The mother was found and she had a conversation with the revised Lochinvar over the phone. He saluted her as Mamma and wanted all invi- tation to come home. The mother was so relieved to hear from her daughter that she was completely overcome and was unable to talk further with her son-in-law.
 1t was known that Coburn was a married man, but his friends state tha t he has been divorced.
 5a Coburn and his wife returned to New Britain at noon yesterday and went to the home of the brides parents where they were received. It was said that they will remain there for the present.

LEADERS IN COUNCIL.
Miners Union Boards Meet to Settle
 Differences.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, April 21.-- The executive boards of districts Nos. 1, and 9 of the United Mine Workers of America, which districts embrace the entire anthracite coai region, held their first joint conference at the Hotel Hart here last night since the strike commission made its award. The pur- pose of the conference Is to interpret, go far as the miners organization have the authority to do Sd, the various fea- lures Of the award There was full Mitchell presided st the meeting. George Hartlein, secretary of district No. 9, which. takes in the schuylkill re zion, acted as secretary
 The session was a brief one There was an informal discussion of several matters to be taken up by the three boards, and then an adjournment was taken.
 The principal point in dispute is the Interpretation of the nine hour work day for all mine workers who are ern- ployad by the day, week or month. There has been much friction In the GMFSS u1@IFlCLS over tn1S QueBCfOn, ana the matter reached an acute stage yes terday, when thc Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron company shut down nearly all its eoiiisries in tho Eehuylklll region because the men would not accept the interpretation of the company relative to the nine hour day. About 3O,o0O men were rendered idss in the Schuylkill region by the eonspany's actzen.
 Another grievance made known here is the alleged refusal of Coxe Bros. S O.. la the middle coal field, to permit me naAA@rs to employ check weigh man. The award of the commission massas it compulsory for operators to saapaay at the expense of the miners a aAssk wsashman whenever required by naa3ofity of the men at the coiiiery
 The joint conference will appoint three persons, one from each of the three districts, to represent the miners on the board of conciliation, as provid- cd by the strike commission

TERRIBLE SITUATION.

Telluride, April 2S.-Four men, NJ.
o. Enyart, W. Fishel, David Prior,
and Frank Legell. narrowly escaped
death at the Keystone placer, five
miles bolew town this afternoon. The
fiume in the tunnel. 200 feet in length,
leading from bedrock in the bottom of
the large ditch down the canon. had
Just been completed and the water
from the ten-inch hydraulic was
about to be turned in for the first
time. There were number of men
standing in the ditch near the mouth
of the tunnel, and the signal was Civ
en- for the men at the penstock to let
the water come. 1t came rushing
down the large pipe which has fall
of 500 feet. and before the men in the
ditch realized it, they were being
sucked down into the tunnel. They
desperately attempted to resist the cur
rent. and some of them succeeded, but
the four above mentioned were struck
down and carried through the tunnel,
a distance of 400 feet. Wilbur Them
as. of Denver one of the directors of
the Keystone mining company, opera
ting the placer, was standing near
the edge of the bottom of the ditch
and as soon as he saw the danger the
men were in, stepped in to grab one
and save him. They were being
sucked down and under by the whirl
pool. but were not very far. owing to
the body of water diminishing. and
escaped uninjured. The moment it
was noticed that the lives of the men
were in danger, the signal was given
to shut the water off, which was done
at once. Everyone expected to find
the men dead that had been carried
into the tunnel, the first report reach
ing town being that two of them were
killed. A messenger boy was sent
hastily to town for physician, and
when he arrived the men had regain
ed consciousness, but were suffering
badly from bruises and contusions.
The doctor says that Enyart is the
most seriously hurt, and there are
reasons for believing his condition dan
gerous.

EARTHQUAKE
A Volcanic Eruption Shakes
Up the Northwest Country.

Vancouver, B.. c.. April 29.-Over-
whelmed by countless tons of rock this
morning, shortly after o'clock, and
with probably 112 of its inhabitants
killed instantly. the little mining town
of Frank, in the southeastern part of
Alberta, is this evening threatened
with complete destruction by flood.
The Old Mans river which flows
through the center of the town. is
damned up with the fallen rock to
the height of nearly 100 feet. The
waters of the river are this evening
damned for miles and the entire val
ley above town is flooded
A big body of water is pressing
with force upon the dam, the only
protection the town of Frank now
has, unless the river finds another
channel.
Should the impromptu dam break
the entire village will be swept away.
A dispatch from Frank saws
A tremendous loud reverberating
crash shook the whole valley of the
Old Mans river this morning at about
4 o'clock and scarcely half the inhab-
itants of this town awakened to rea-
lization of the impending danger
when from the top of Turtle noun
tain overlooking the settlement there
were hurled millions of tons of rock.
The Frank mines, operated by the
French Canadian Coal company across
the river from the town were seen to
be buried under hundreds of feet of
rock Just as the morning light was
breaking.
The very latest report from Frank
says:
A volcanic eruption occurred here
at a. m. The earth opened for three
quarters of mils in length, and mill
lions of tons of rock slid off the top
of Turtle mountain which overhangs
the little town. The coal pit mouth
and several buildings near We're bur
led. IL is estimated that the loss of
life is about seventy residents and in
addition about fifty miners are en-
tombed in the mines. The Canadian
Pacific has arranged for trains to car
ry doctors, nurses and hospital stores
both from the east and west of
Frank.
The Crows Nest branch railway is
temporarily blocked but the railroad
has sent large gangs of men there and
expect to get it cleared soon.
