tender deepest condolence to the
bereaved family.

The dispatches from the an-
tirracito coal regions indicate
that there are about 118,000 out
of the 140,000 mine workers
idle. No yiolenco has occurred
yet but there are indications of
ill feeling between the union and
non-union men in- Dauphin
county, Pa. Four 'hundred men
at the West 'End Coal Company
near Wilkesbarre are sticking to
their work uncomplainingly and
refuso to join the others though
they are unjor men. They say
they have always been nicely
treated.
Coal has been advanced 23cents
per ton by the Philadelphia and
Reading Company and dealers
have advanced the price 50 cents
per ton.
Tho miners profess to be op
posed io violenco of any kind
and w;U endeavor to force' tho
mine owners to employ them to
supply tho coal domands. It is
claimed that 1,500 went out
Tuesday.

Takes Everything in Its Eccentric
Course No One Killed One Woman
Hurt-$10,000 Damage.
A terrific tornado, passed over
parts of Wake and Franklin
county last Saturday njght. It
went in cone shape, and, bounded
along'as a ball. It narrowly escaped-Wake
Forest College. At
Youngstown it spent its chief
force demolishing everything in
its path which was only abgut CO
feet wide. It twisted off trees
near tho roots and Hurled build
ings down, oven moving tho
foundation pillars.
It soemed miraculously to
bound over some points and dip
down again in great force.
The damage at Youngstown is
estimated at $5,0.0, and proba
bly as much more resulted iu tho
rest of its way.
Strangely the severe wound
ing of ouo colored woman made
up tho sum of personal injury.
Among the buddings destroyed
were.the Methodist and the Bap
tist churchos, each valued at
about $1,500.
