But little news develops about the
COURT House and it is difficult to be-
iieve that court is in session, even in
the present restricted sense. The
Grand Jury Is putting in full hours
and the witnesses awaiting their turn
to be called before this body may be
seen strolling about the building and
grounds. but beyond these the court
room and the corridors are for the
most part empty.
When Court convened yesterday
morning with Associate Judges Thomp
son and Blee on the bench the Grand
Jury had two bills to return. One of
these was the case of Commonwealth
vs.. Harman Weigold. the charge be-
ing assault and battery. In this case
the bill was ignored and the costs
placed upon the prosecutor, Jacob
Hort. The second case was that of
Commonwealth VS.. George Orossley.
The charge was also assault and bat.
terry and the bill was likewise ignor.
ed. The costs we're put upon the coun.
ty. The prosecutor in Crossley's case
was Isaac Frehafer.
In the case of Common wealth vs.
Harry Shut upon the motion of the
District Attorney the Court granted a
mol. pros. upon payment of costs.

OPERATORS Will
u ''' ''' FIGHT GEH' upIuu

On April 1, 1905, every coal mine in
Pennsylvania. Ohio. Indi ana. Illinois.
West Virginia and part of Kentucky
will close down for an indefinite per-
iod. II present plans do not misoarry.
A meeting of the GOAL operators Of
ell these states has been called to TAX 9
place November 22nd at Chicago, when
plans will be completed for the great
est lockout in the history of the world.
This arrangement Is intended to crush
the United Mine Workers Of America
as an organization. and at the same
time force up tine price of coal to the
consumer.
Herman Justi, commissioner Of the
Illinois Goal Operators Association
cent out the call for the Chicago con-
ference. This will be the first time
the anthracite coal operators will have
entered into an agreement with the
bituminoas operators. The object Of
their joining in the conference is to
curb the growth of unionism in the
eastern GOAL mines.
There exists among the Western
Pennsylvania. Indiana, Ohio and H.
lin0is coal operators an agreement
known as the interstate agreement.
whereby the operators annually meet
the United Mine Workers of the var
ious districts and settle on mining
rate for the year. The anthracite coal
operators are unwilling to deal with
the miners union, and have about 3D.
600 miners employed in Eastern Penn
sylvania under individual contracts.
All the wage scales in these states
expire april 1: in fact, nearly all the
mining scales of the country expire on
that date. 1t Is to meet this crisis that
the meeting has been called in Obi =
osgo next November. The miners are
getting better wages than ever in the
history Of the industry, taking work
ing facilities into consideration The
interstate price is based on IS cents
per ton for soft coal mined and run
over an inch and oue.quarter screen.
Some of the Western coal operators
want this reduced to 70 cents ton,
aud the miners will meet with this
proposal in January at the wage con-
ference. The eastern operators will not
be represented at this January gather
ing. 1t Is believed that the miners rep.
resentatives will refuse to accept the
reduction. and the minss will be clos.
ed down until one side or the other is
starved out.
As result. the anthracite operators
have begun piling up coal, and will
fill their docks at both ends of the
lakes. and will load every boat, barge
and scow obtainsble with coal between
now and April 1. The operators have
reached an understal lding whereby nc
contracts are to be accepted for coal
between now and April for delivery
after April 1.

Edward Hayes, whose burglarious
exploits have given him SO much con.
spicuity during the past month, was
called before Judge Auten at Sunbury,
yesterday afternoon. and plead guilty
to robbng the Liedy store in Milton. I.
Hayes, made quite speech in his
own behalf and had the audaoity to
tell the Judge that he was honest and
but victim of circumstances. He
asked the judge to be "light with
him" and he was sentenced to pay a
fine of ten dollars, costs of prosecution

The Y. NJ. O. A. gymnasium classes
will resume the seasons work next
Monday afternoon at 4 80 o o'clock with
the junior class on the floor, when an
outline of the winters work will be
presented.
The indications point to large and
enthusiastic classes, as the general
public are fast coming to realize the
value of proper muscular exercise. Tie
efforts that have been put forth dur
ing previous seasons have yielded fat
tering results, as all who attended the
Glasses regularly we're much benfitted
both physically and mentally.
The work at the Y. M. O. A. will
necessarily be more or less handicap
ped in all its branches in the begin.
ming of the season owing to the ab-
senoe of a General Secretary, and this
fact will necessitate change of sohed-
ule and the disoontinuance of several
of the gymnasium classes. among which
will be the afternoon mems and the
ladies' classes. This condition will
be relieved after November 1st, when
Mr.. O. II. johnson will arrive and
take charge of the Seoretary's duties.
Previous to his arrival Mr.. Carpenter
will, with some of the mem bers, have
charge of the affairs of the Associa-

BATTERO GUILTY
OF MANSLAUGHTER

Guilty of voluntary man slau ghter az
indicted, was the verdict of the twelve
men selected in the Northum berland
county court to sit in Judgment in the
Battero murder case.
The verdict was the result of ain ost
five hours Of deliberation on the evi.
dence.. ..su omitted during the trial.
| Judge Auten finished his charge,
whiohIwas fair and impartial to both
the Commonwealth and the prisoner
at the bar, at five o'clock Tuesday
evening. after whichl the jury retired
to agree upon verdict.
COURT being in session at night, to
hear the Wanzie trial, the jurors were
instructed that in case they reached
an agreement before adjournment, they
could return the same at once. At a
quarter to ten O'Clock. Tipstave Hoey
notified the court that a verdict had
been reached and he was instructed to
bring in the jury.
As the twelve men fled into the
court room by the rear door there
came hushed silence over the crowd
Of spectators which had greatly di-
minished and the prisoner became the
target for all eyes.
The usual formal dialogue quickly
passed and the verdict was announced
by the foreman. Battero was unmov-
ed and did not seem to realize the
meaning of the finding.
Counsel for the convicted man i'm
mediately made motion for the stay
OF judgment and time to file reasons
for new trial, which was allowed by
the Court.

minor MATTERS
on INTEREST

The traction engine bought by
Council as a sort of venture few
years ago has proven a most valuable
appurtenanoe of the Borough. 1t has
served its owners in various capacities
and has been much sought for by out
siders. Yesterday it was taken up to
Bloomsbury where 1t will assist in
paving one of the streets of that town.
The early history of the traction en-.
gine Is not clear. It already had q
career when it fell into the hands of
Daniel M. Curry aud Edward W. Pet
ers, who sold 1t to the Borough at a
bargain. 1t was most important
factor during the recent improvements
made in the borough and was used to
pump water ont of the sewer trench
and to operate the centrifugal pump
in removing the mud from the wells
at the water works; it was used for
crushing stone and for dragging the
heavy road plow in breaking up the
street where excavation was necessar y
for paving. During the summer past
it was on duty at DeWitt's Park where
it served as motor for the merry go
round, proving quite as much of a sue
cess in chasing the hobby horses around
and keeping up music on the hand
organ as it was In pumping wafer or
dragging the road pIow.
Compared to an automob the trac-
tion engine in point of speed is not a
record breaker. It had all day before
it however, yesterday and 1t got to
Bloomsbury before night. 1t is leased
by George W. Kieter of that place,
who will employ it in breaking stone.
