in Pennsylvania has been brought tC
light at Scranton with the discovery that
40 military companies Of union miners

armed with 45-caliber Springfield rifles,
and several of them are provided with
uniforms OF the same pattern and color
rs those worn by infantry in the regular
army. The coal operators say that nc
strike is in sight, and that they have nc
fear Of one this year, but there is always

neath of State Senator McCnne

Former State Senator James G. Nc
Cune, lawyer, politician and school
teacher, died shortly, before midnight
Saturday night, at BellevieT Farm, the
home of his father, DR.. Samuel Mcclure,
near MiddletowD, Frederick county.
Mr.. McCune was 4G years OF age. He
was i'll only for a day or two and his
death is attributed to rheumatism of the
heart.
For q country lawyer, Mr. McCune
had an eyenlful life. Since young man
he had been active in republican politics,
and 10 years sgo, during factional
fight among the democrats, he was elected
to the Virginia State Senate. There he
became the father and patron of the "a
nous "anti.kissing' bill, which brought
him fame ali over the United States.
The measure was designed TO prevent
young men from flirting with schoolgirls,
but its provisions were so drastic that,
if enforced, kissing among young men
and women would have been abolished
in this State. The bill became law,
but was soon repealed.
LAST spring Mr. McCune figured in a
sensational elopement, when, pursued by
the irate brothers of the bride, he eloped
from Middletown with Miss Mary Par
ker, the pretty daughter Of Constable J.
A. Parker. The couple we're married at
Hageptown, Nd, having outwitted the
angry brothers, who were bent on break
ing up the match. Several months later
the wife instituted suit for divorce, on
the grounds of desertion and nonsuppori,
and several weeks ago decree was en-
tered by the court, which dissolved the
marriage. Miss Parker was pupil at a
school taught BY Mr.. McCune.
