AITHRACITE MINERS
NOW BACK AT WORK
CUT TO DEATH WITH HATCHET.
Sixty - Seven Per Cent oi
Mines Resume Operation.
COLLIERIES ARE IN GOOD SHAPE
In the Schuylkill Region the Largt
Mines Are Said To Be In Bettei
Condition for Work Than Was Aa
ticipated.
Wilkes ha ire, Pa., Oct. 23.—Report*
fiom the entire anthracite region show
that about 07 per cent of the mine*
are in operation today. The collier
ies in the Lackawanna region are in
bi tter shape for working than those
in any other part of the region. The
collieries in the Wyoming region with
a small output are in good shape, be
ing free from water and gas, but the
large mines are still hampered by
water. The same condition of affairs
exists in the Lehigh region. In the
Schuylkill region the large mines are
reported to be in better condition foi
work than was expected.
All the mines in operation will be
short in their normal output today, but
by tomorrow it is expected almost the
full output will be reached. After
such a long spell of idleness the min
ers and laborers are "soft” and no!
capable of doing a hard day’s work as
when they were “seasoned.”
Reports are coming in from all over
the mining region that many engineers,
firemen, pump men, carpenters and
company hands have failed to get
their places back. The old employes
are faring better with the individual
companies than with the large com
panies. A delegation of carpenters
made up of employes from many col
lieries in the Wyoming region called
at President .Mitchells headquarters
at noon and laid their grievances be
fore him. They said miners and la
borers had no trouble in getting back,
but other employes holding good pay
ing positions before tney went on
strike generally found their places
filled with other men, and the mine
superintendents said there would be
no change for the present. Mr. Mitch
ell advised his callers to be patient
and await development the next few
days.
IN WYOMING VALLEY.
No Friction Between Union and Non
union Miners.
Wilkesbarre. Pa.. Oct. 23.—The min.
ing of coal with union miners was re
sumed in the Wyoming valley this
morning. There was much activity
at all of the collieries, but owing to
the condition of many of the mines the
full quota of men could not be em
ployed. The fire bosses reported that
many places were in a dangerous con-
dition, and the superintendents refus
ed to allow the miners to enter these
places.
At least 15 per cent of the mines in
this department will not be able to re-
sume work for several weeks, as tlie
lower lifts are still flooded. The
Stanton mine, of the Lehigh airi
WilkesbaVre Coal company, which em
ployes 000 men, will not he able to
start up for two months.
There was no friction between the
union and the nonunion men when
they reported for work this morning.
It is said that in a few isolated cases
miners who took piominent parts in
the strike were not given work. The
nonunion engineers and pump runners
are holding on to their positions, and
refuse to give them up to make room
for union men. A number of old en
gineers. pump men and firemen again
applied for their old positions this
morning, but were told that there were
no vacancies at present. Old em
ployes who have failed to get their
places back are reporting the fact
to President Mitchell at strike head
quarters.
The Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western company will have 110 cars
of coal ready to move from the Wyo-
ming section to New York by noon.
Clearing Up Gangways.
Pottsviiie, Pa.. Oct. 23 —Much clear,
ing of gangways is necessary at many
of the collieries before normal produr-
tlon will be obtained. Over 75 per
cent of the mine workers are already
employed and others will resume as
soon as places are ready for them. The
big grade engines have not yet resuni-
ed on the Millock branch of the Read
ing railway, because the Mafiai.o*
plant Is still idle. The conditions are
favorable at Brookside, Good Spring
and Eagle Hill collieries of the Phil-
adelpbia and Reading Coal and Iron
company and at the St. Clair colliery
for shipments in a day or two.

friends on a hunting trip at Stumpy

Lake Coatepeque at Foot of Volcano
Flooded With Boiling Sulphur.
New Orleans, Oct. 23.—Passengers
who arrived on the steamer from Pu
erto Barrios report the volcano of Izai-
co, in Salvador, in a state of violent
eruption.
The eruption began on Sept. 7, when
five large openings or craters formed
on the north side of the volcano from
which large quantities of lava and
burning stones were ejected. People
living in the town of Izalco and the
neighboring country, toward which the
lava poured, fled at its approach, and
believe that their houses weie com
pletely destroyed.
Tire stream of lava, which was very
deep, flowed over a distam •of 3 miles
from the crater. Lake Coatepeque,
which lies at the foot of the volcano,
was flooded with boiling sulphur from
the principal crater. Pears were en
tertained of further disaster. The
volcano was still in eruption when the
passengers left Guatemala.
ERUPTIONS STILL CONTINUE.
Howe’s Show Arrested In Mississippi
For Killing Boy and Girl.

message from Crystal Springs last
night states that the entire member
ship of Howe’s circus is under arrest
at that place for the killing of a boy
named Tom Johnson and a young lady
named Miss White at Pickens.
The shooting occurred just as the
train was pulling out of Pickens, and
witnesses claim that it was unpro
voked. Miss White was the night
train dispatcher at the place and was
delivering an order to the engineer
when struck by one of the bullets
fired from the circus train. The cir
cus proprietor claims that all the shots
were fired by a roustabout named
Quinn, who escaped at Jackson.
Judge Powell, circuit judge for the
district, has been consulted as to the
disposal of the circus, and he has tha
matter under advisement. The cir
cus will be beld in custody until fur
ther developments.
La Soufriere Keeps Islanders In State
of Continuous Unrest.
Kingstown, St. Vincent. B. W. I.,
Oct. 23.—The Soufriere volcano has
been active since Oct. 15, keeping the
people in the Windward district in a
state of continuous unrest. Evidence
gathered in the district proves tha:
the eastern crater was chiefly opera
tive during the last eruption. The
devastated lands now include all the
plantations on the northeastern coast
down to the Grand Sable estate, on
which the re-establishment of cultiva
tion will be hopeless for years; even
should' La Soufriere soon become
quiescent.
A deputation of distressed inhabi
tants has waited upon the administra
tor of the island for the purpose oi
informing the government of the hope,
less condition of the district in con
sequence of the last eruption of the
volcano. They appealed for food and
shelter, especially for their terrifi"!
wives and children and begged to be
removed from the northern quarter of
the island to form a new settlement
in another locality where they could
safely and conveniently start life
afresh.
The administrator expressed his
hearty sympathy for the sufferers and
promised to communicate the facts
to his chief, together with certain sug
gestions. He said he hoped the gov
ernment would soon be able to do
something to relieve the victims of
the volcanic disturbances.
