Mr.. and Mrs Peter Donahoe, an
aged couple, residing at 4ll East Fifth

gas this morning, while asleep, az
their home, and bad it net been for
hard work on the part of DR.. H. r.
Spruance, they would probably have
been in "a serious condition, as the doc
tor worked on them for several hours
before they We're restored to conscious
ness.
Mr.. and Mrs. Donahoe retired last
night about 10 o'clock. During the
night Mr. Donahoe arose and struck a
match to light the gas His wife
asked him why he did not light the
lamp instead Of the gas. BY this time
Mr.. Donahoe had the gas turned on,
but instead Of lighting it OF turning IL
off he turned around and lit the lamp
unconsciously leaving the gas jet par

STRIKE TALK DwINDLlEG
The Anthracite Mine workers Are Eager
for Peace,


for Peace,
Associate Press Iispateh nv special wireJ
Wilkes Barre, Pa, April %. Presi-
dent John Mitchell called the Anthra-
cite Mine Workers Scale Committee
together today, for the purpose of dis
cussing the last reply Of the operators,
in which the notifications suggested
by President Mitchell to the arbitra-
tion proposition were refused.
President Mitchell declined this
morning TO discuss the prospects.
81 do not know what will be done, +"
he said. The committee must decide
that. -
He would not talk of the possibili-
ties of a strike, except to say:
Whatever the Scale Committee de-
cdes must be ratified by a convention
in order to be effective, and no agree
ment can be reached and no strike
ordered without the vote Of the con.
vention.
The committeeman, it is said, believe
there is little hope of the operators
changing their position, and some of
them favor calling a convention and
having the mine workers decide the
issue. While this decision would be
largely governed by the advice of Presi-
dent Mitchell and the district Off
GERS, there is an apparent increase in
the peace party. This, it is expected,
will be led in the convention by some
of the most prominent Of the district
officers. Owing to this feeling, the
strike talk is dwindling rapidly, and
some say that if President Mitchell
recommends peace his suggestion will
be eagerly adopted.
After a session lasting nearly two
hours, the Scale Committee adjourned
at noon. IL was decided to refer all
matters at issue to the Sub-Scale Com
mittee, who will report TO the full
committee at a meeting to be held this
afternoon.
After the Scale Committee ad-
iourned. President Mitchell refused to
make any statement as to what took
place at the meeting.
