dozen men were left lying on the
ground but they were later picked up
and carried off. Troopers did not pur-
sue the crowd but continued on their
way to the colliery. From that place
Lieutenant Smith communicated with
state police headquarters at Pottsville
and word Immediately came back to
hold his grounnd until reinforcements
arrived. In the meantime local con-
stables on behalf Of the mine workers
arrested Lieut.. Smith on the charge of

to kill. He was held in $500 bail which
was furnished. Three foreigners were
also held on same charges. The troop

typographical Union Gave $4,000.

In circular from the eight hour
committee of the international Typo
graphical Union, representing 80, 500
printers who are at work, it is stated
that the international Typographical
Union on April 23rd expressed $40, 600
to the San Francisco relief fund, hav-
ing previouly on April 2lst sent a
draft of $500. Besides the Chicago
Union sent $500; Boston 500; st Louis
SIS: and Indianapolis union 5000. Thus
it will be seen that the international
Typographical Union and four of its
subordinates have contributed to the
California union printers, when all
reports are in, will show a contribution
of at least $25, 900.
Every job and newspaper Office was
destroyed either by earthquake or by
fire.
The $4,000 sent by the Internation-
al Typographical Union officers was in
small bills so that there would be no
trouble in affording immediate relief. :

Reconstruction Begins.

San Francisco, April 3O.-Recon-
struction of San Francisco began in ear
nest today. AS a result many destitute
men secured work. Distribution OF
food to the homeless began today on
the army ration plan as evolved by
Major General Greely and the output of
supplies was lessened so that q days
food is now in sight. The relief COM
mittee is uncertain, however, how soon
free supplies may fail and plans are
under consideration to prevent famine.
Signs of renewal of industrial activity
were apparent in many parts of the
burned area today, and the work
of clearing away debris preparatory to
rebuild was in progress in a score Of
places. 1t was said that plans for
more than thirty large buildings have
been drawn and will be submitted to
the authorities as soon as the new
building laws are promulgated.
The mayor advised the board of su-
pervisors today that he would appoint
a committee consisting of engi-
neers, architects, builders and lawyers
to prepare plans for laying out streets
and boulevards and reconstructing San
Francisco.
Street car lines are extending in all
directions and the United Railway Co.
has promised to give the people within
a short time, a better system of tran
sit than existed before the fire.

THE GOOO ROADS CONVENTION.

The Good Roads Convention to meet
at Tazewell Monday, May 7th, 1906, un-
der the auspices of the National Good
Roads Association, with headquarters
in St, Louis, the Town and County Off
cials, the Commercial Organizations
and business men, will be one Of the
most important Conventions ever as
sembled for any purpose in this Town
and County.
1t will be important to every home OF
the town as the condition and better
ment of the streets, walks, curbings,
sewerage and Park conditions will be
discussed by experts who have studied
such conditions all their lives. The
Convention will enlighten every farmer
and taxpayer as to the best and cheap
est methods of improving the Public
Roads. The common Earth Roads are
the base and primitive structure upon
which all street paving and macadam
construction must depend.
The National Good Roads Associa-
ton is all powerful in advocating up-to
date methods of cooperation in Road
Construction.
Since the organization of the Gov
ernment the Farmers of all States and
Territories have furnished the taxes to
build and maintain the roads. This
method is an unjust and unwarranted
burden. The Roads belongs to every
body. Every woman and man who
walks or rides over the Road has an in
terest in it's improvement. A Good
Road is an asset to the merchant, the
banker, the manufacturer, the railroad,
the school and the church just as it is
to the Farmer, who grows the products
to feed and clothe the world, or the
Lumberman who converts the Forest
into lumber for the home and the ship.
Everybody should join in making the
Convention signal success. The far
mers have direct interest and should
bring their wives and sons and daugh-
ters.
Special invitation is cordially extend
ed to all ladies. We are informed that
hundreds of ladies attend these meet
ings. In very large number of the
American cities the women are organic
inc Civic Clubs. These clubs include
in their membership the Farmers wives
and daughters who join in advocating
Civic and Rural Improvement:
Don't forget the day and date. The
Conventions free to all. Come and
bring your neighbors and all join Tor
Good Roads.

Money Great Need in San Francisco.

San Francisco, May Good prog
ress in clearing away the ruins contin-
ues. Already temporary structures
have been erected on sites that will be
used for new skyscrapers so soon as
contracts can be awarded and material
brought from the east for use. Ali of
the architects who have been brought
to the city are hard at work on plans
for buildings and the city building de-
partment is kept busy day and night
examining plans for buildings submit
ted for approval.
By order of the mayor the passing
out of supplies simply upon application
to all that come to the relief stations
will be stopped and from now on only
women and children will be given food.
All abled bodied men can get provis-
ions, etc., that they may desire by
working for them, and those who will
not work are to be arrested and con-
viccted under the vagrancy laws.
That part of the city which escaped
the fire and quake is rapidly assuming
its normal aspect. Many of the firms
that are now using the homes of MEM
bers for temporary business Offices ex-
pect to get down town very soon and
into temporary quarters being prepared
there. The great need in the city is
money and there is much criticism over
the congressional appropriation.

MINERS AND STATE TROOPS
INDULGE IN BATTLE ROYAL
Twenty Wounded and Three viii DIE
Disturbance Caused by Attack on
State Police by Foreigners.

Mount Carmel, Pa, April 9O.-The
first serious collision in the anthracite
coal region since mining suspended,
April l, occurred here today between a
mob of idle mine workers and platoon
of new state constabulary forces and
resulted in injuring probably twenty
men, three of them will likely die.
Disturbance was caused by the attack
on detail state police by several hum
dred foreigners who became incensed
at the presence of constabulary. They
threw stones at policeman and other
wise endangered their lives to such an
extent that they were forced to fire on
the crowd which swelled into thousands
The riot caused greatest excitement in
many mining villages of the southern
coal fields, when it became known that
mine workers were shot down, but to-
night the affected territory is compar-
atively quiet. While believed score
of persons injured during the day, only
ten accounted for, three, who it
is thought, will die, are R, Miservich,
shot in stomach; Stanilaus Watakoski,
shot in the groin; Louis Wilson, shot
through body. Wilson was shot while
standing in front of his home block
from the scene of the conflict.
Today's affair is result of an attack
upon non-union men made various times
last week. Attacks became so numer-
Gus that Sheriff Sharpless, of North
Umberland county appealed to state
constabulary for help. In accordance
with order, troop c which was march
ing from Reading to Hazelton divided
and half of the men under Lieutenant
Smith were sent to Mount Carmel, ar
irving there this morning. After look
ing to their mounts, troopers started
out to get breakfast and Immediately
ran into trouble from unexpected
sources. At the first hotel they went
to the dining room girls refused to serve
them, and they received the same treat
ment at two other hotels. In most
mining towns, help about hotels and
other places are related to workers,
are in sympathy with them; and during
strike times they do all they can to help
workers. The presence of troopers
on Main Street in the town caused the
crowd to gather ablTt, while the crowd
began throwing stones, troopers charg-
ed, with whoop, but not before sew
eral men were hurt including trooper.
Lieut.. Smith drew men into line and
threatened to shoot if the mob renewed
the attack. In the meantime, local
leaders of the mine workers { culsted
through the crowd and ordered infuri-
ated foreigners to disperse and keep
peace.
Chief Burgess, who is a member OF
the miners union, addressed the crowd
from a window, advising them to go
home. This action had considerable
effect and the detailed troopers started
for Sayre colliery, of Lehigh Valley
coal company on the outskirts of Mount
Carmel, where non-union men were
attacked by foreigners Saturday night.
Some of the mob persisted in following
troopers and some one threw stones
at them which was followed by showers
of others. Lieutenant Smith wheeled
his men about and gave order to fire,

living being to interfere with his iealously-
guarded hostages, who were only released, as
the reader may remember, in exchange for one
thousand rifles belonging to Ras Alula, which
hitherto the Italian officials had not allowed
to pass. He retained Count Sayoiroux, and,
on the remonstrances OF Major Piano and the
others, who at first refused to come away
without their unfortunate eomrade, he bid
them begone, or remain at their own peril, for
