SAME FATE FOR BROTHERS.
Three Have Been Killed by Train

LANCASTER, Pa, January 11-John
Swiegart, fifty-two years old, of Ephrata,
died at the Lancaster General Hospital
from injuries received when struck by
a Lancaster and Ephrata trolley car
while he was sitting on the track.
1t is a remarkable coincidence that
three other members of his family, all
Of Ephrata, lost their lives under
similar conditions. A brother, Samuel
Sweigart, was run over and killed by
a Reading railway train while lying on
the track, and another brother, Frank
was also killed by Reading train
while lying on the track. Their father,
Samuel Sweigart. ST., was killed by a
fall.

Bower on his twenty-frst birthday ami
versary succeeded yesterday for the
first time in his life In throwing his
father fiat on his back, a feat he has
been attempting ever since he was six
teen years old. 1t took three rounds to
decide the match, the first one going to
the father, William Bower. But as soon
is he could catch his breath after the
son downed him on the second and third
rounds the father reached out his hand
and said:
We'll. l reckon I've got to allow YOU
are better man than your dad, son."
Gets Two Out of Three Falls.
The contest occurred in the back yard,
Ralph Bower, sixteen years old, acting as
referee. The first bout lasted just sixty
seconds. Ross got his hands on his faith
er's shoulder and tried for another hold.
But the older man ducked, broke ...rough
his guard and caught his son about. the
waist. AS they bent the sons feet went

BASEBALL ANECDOTES
By Billy Evans.

For years the cry was: More
hitting" 1t came every winter,
but there is no such sentiment
now. Last spring the magnates
apparently answered the cry by
introducing a livelier ball.
The difference between the
close game and old SUGGEST was
never better illustrated than in
the worlds series. 1t is hard to
imagine more thrilling contests
than open the opening 2 to
game, the second 3 to l, decided
by, Bakers home run; the third,
8 to-, which went l i innings; the
fourth, with its 4 to 2 score, and
the fifth that ended 4 to 8 after
10 innings.
In contrast with the last game,
with its Is to 2 score. Quaker
fans liked the game, as the Ath-
letics were hitting, but it was a
sad exhibition Of baseball.

OF INTEREST TO LABOR
By Max Hayes.


A threatened national suspen-
sion of work by members of the
Miners Federation is of ever
graver concern in Great Britain.
For many months the miners
have endeavored to secure an adj
vance in. wages and enforce
standard rate In order that one
district cannot be played against
another and thus force wages
downward through competition.
The mems efforts had proved TN
availing and several weeks ago
national conference was held at
Southport, the delegates coming
to the gathering with instruc-
tionS.
Conferences are being held with
operators in the various districts,
but the employers are stubbornly
refusing to grant an increase in
wages and concede a standard
arate, and the likelihood is that the
london congress of miners will
have no alternative but to pre-
pare for a strike in which about
100000 men will be involved.
AS the Welsh miners are tied
up. with a contract that requires
80 days notice before it can be
abrogated, the general suspension
would hardly begin before the
first of the new year. 1t is worthy
of note that the Welsh miners,
who are the strongest division in
the huge federation, have just de-
feated all their old representa-
tives on the general executive
board, who are conservatives and
