Barnum colliery, of the Pennsylvania Coal Co., located in Upper Pittston, has been placed in operation, thus bearing out the reports that were in circulation just previous to the suspension, to the effect that the first colliery that £rie officials would attempt to work would be the Barnum. An inquiry at the Dunmore office of the Pennsylvania Co. this morning elicited the verification of the report that the colliery was in operation. It was stated that coal was being mined and that it was also being prepared in the breaker and shipped. The company refuses to make any statement as to the number of men at work or the amount of coal that is being mined. From other sources, the report comes that the company has gathered at the Barnum some 15 non-union miners from various collierieB of the company and that they have been at work in the mine for some days, with the result that sufficient coal was accumulated to make it possible to put the breaker In operation yesterday. The breaker was also operated today. Several English-speaking men are among the miners at work, but the majority of them are foreigners. The company had no trouble in securing a sufficient number of men to operate the breaker, having brought into the district a number of "imports" and having recourse to the outside hands that remain at work. The amount of coal mined and prepared is necessarily limited. The various washeries of the Erie system continue in operation, and they are turning out a largeamount of small-nixed coal. Ashes from Crater. an Association. The scenes when the llivit bodies were unearthed at Ottajano were fearful. The positions of the bodies showed their faces wearing the stamp of fear. Three bodies were found ill the confessional of one of the faKen churches. One was that of an old woman. She was sitting with her right arm raised as'though to ward off impending danger. Near by was a child with one hand across the face and the other arm around n little dog. The third body was that of a woman crushed beyond all recognition. New York, April 11.—While the arbitration plan proposed by the anthracite operators is not entirely satisfactory to the miners' committee, there Is a strong feeling that a wedge has been entered for the adoption of an arbitration scheme that will be mutually agreeable. A new arbitration plan from the miners is the next move scheduled. New York, April 11. — "America! America! America! 1 have been waiting and longing to see this wonderful country, and now one of the desires of my life is fulfilled," spoke Maxim Gorky. Uussiau author and revolutionist. as tlie Kaiser Wllhelni der Crosse came into sight of Long Island. Naples. April 11.—Vesuvius, after a brief period of quiescence, has broken out afresh with still greater ejections of blinding, poisonous ashes and sand which are falling fast in this city. Driven by a high wind, laden with sulphurous gases from the crater's mouth, the air is so thick that breathing is difficult.Philadelphia, April 11.—That the bituminous coal traffic is divided among six railroad companies was developed at the first hearing of the Interstate Commerce Commission held here for the purpose of determining whether the railroad companies are interested, directly or indirectly, in the oil or coal which Is transported over their lines. Four members of the commission—Martin A. Knapp, chairman; Former Senator Francis M. Cockerell, of Missouri, Judson Clements and C. H. Prouty—are here to conduct the hearings. William A. Glasgow, of this city, and Edward B. Whitney, of New York, have been engaged as counsel for the commission; General Solicitor Francis I. Gowen and Assistant General Solicitor Geo. Stuart Patterson represent the Pennsylvania Railroad Co., and the Reading Co. is represented by General Solicitor Judge J. D. Campbell. MY. Bailey set out with the one end in view of establishing the soundness of Ills contention that congress ha* the power to deny to tiie inferior United States courts the right to suspend the orders of the interstate commerce commission pending the final decision of cases arising under the proposed law. This he undertook to do by citing innumerable decisions of the courts and quoting many other, authorities. With him was his wife, a woman of unusually attractive presence, seemingly more French than Russian, who as Mine. Andreeva gained wide fame on the I5us«ian stage. l Tho miners' scale committee met today at the Ashland House to consider the latest reply of the operators to the demand for arbitration, and it was Indicated this morning that a counter proposition will be drafted, which will be presented to the operators at the joint meeting tomorrow. The operators say today that the situation is with Mitchell and his men and that upon them depends whether or not there shall be peace in the hard coal industry. The flow of lava, which had almost ceased, has also recommenced. The incalculable energy at play in the heart of the mountain seems endless, and tbp people of Naples are in fearful anticipation of unknown disasters which Vesuvius may visit u|»ou them. Tall mid raw honed, with a face of marked strength, tlie revolutionist wore an air of timidity when first encountered lliat fitted ill with his general appearance. Quite devoid of self consciousness. It was only with difficulty that lit- could he persuaded to talk about himself or his work. Now York, April 11.—A committor was formort hero to raise a fund for Iho relief of til© sufferers who were driven from their homes by the eruption of Mquilt Vesuvius. Already the committee has contributed $1,800. and it is expected that many thousands will he raised. William II. Hearst was elected chairman of the committee, included in which are former Judge John Palmieri. Joseph X. Francelinl, James H. March and prominent Italians. Aid For Italian Sufferers. "If." said Mr. Bailey, "the president is commanded by a statute to perform a certain duty he does not consider the authority is given directly lDy the constitution. The constitution is the source of all power, but it is a dead letter unless congress breathes into it the breath of life." A real nil'! present danger is hero In the great fall of sand and ashes, as shown by the frightful collapse of the roof over the market place of Monte O'.iveto, in the heart of the city, wiiCn more than 200 men. women and children were buried in the ruins, fourteen killed outright and 124 injured so that they had to he removed to hospitals. When the vessel had docked and Gorky started to leave the pier he walked into the midst of n thousand shouting, cheering, frantic Russians whose enthusiasm over' their champion. as tbe.v proclaimed him, was so great that a squad of police was necessary lo clear a path to allow of the jxit of him and his party. The miners point out that the operators, by astute wording of the proposition that the anthracite strike commission be requested to arbitrate the situation, have lost the miners one member of the commission who was a great friend of the mine workers, Bishop Spalding, of Peoria. The bishop has recently suffered severe attacks of paralysis, and is consequently unable to serve. The operators In the counter proposition state: "The members of the anthracite 'strike commission. or such of them as may be able and willing to act, shall be requested to decide," etc. The principal witnesses were Upton H. White, statistician of the Tidewater Steam Bituminous Coal Traffic association; W. W. Atterbury, general manager of the Pennsylvania railroad; Joseph G. Searle, traffic manager of the same company, and Theodore Voorhees, vice president of the Reading Co. Through these witnesses it was brought out that the Pennsylvania Railroad Co., the Reading Co.. the Beech Creek division of the New York Central railroad, the Baltimore & Ohio, the Chesapeake & Ohio and the Norfolk & Western Railroad companies are members of the Tidewater Steam Bituminous Coal Traffic association, which was organized in 1896. The members of the association, it was shown, have an agreement by which each is allotted a certain percentage of the soft coal tonnage. It Is the duty of Mr. White to compute the liercentage of coal carried by each company and make a monthly report or the same. The documentary evidence produced at the request of tlio commission included the by-laws of the association. There was a significant suggestion from Mr. Hale indicating the possibility of an understanding and an early vote on the rate measure. The frightful accident fed the terror of the people until tliey were neiir inad with excitement, fear ami grief. and when the wind shifted sand and ashes again began to over the city, and the rumbling and groaning of the mountain told that further disturbances might be expected. Hope fled, and again the crowds watch the mountain from streets and houses in panic. President Senda Sympathy to Italy, Washington. April 11 The president New York, April 11.—George ,1. Gould made a very agreeable witness for General Louis Fitzgerald, who is being sued by Morris (". Meuges for $1,000.- 000, which he claims as commission for bringing about the sale to Mr. Gould of the Western Maryland railroad. One of the most striking features of Mr. Gould's testimony was brought out toward tlie close of his examination when he said he subscribed $1,000,000 to the $20,000,000 syndicate which purchased the West Virginia Central and the Western Maryland roads merely to oblige his personal counsel for the railroad interests, Wiuslow Pierce. Spent Million to Oblige Friend. Gorky was in a salon making his declaration when the delegation chosen to welcome him lDoarded the steamship down the bay. Ills adopted son. Xlco lay PeshkofT, who has been In this country for more than a year, was the first to greet liiin. sent by cable a message of condolence to the king of Italy upon the havoc and loss of life resulting from the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. PASSENGER TRAIN STRUCK FREIGHT. This clause prevents anyone from serving in Bishop Spalding's place, and, as the bishop was appointed on the commission by President Roosevelt at Mitchell's request, they think it only fair that the President be asked to appoint some one in his place. This request will doubtless be Incorporated in the miners' counter proposition. The elimination of the miners' demands to only the question of wages and the adjustment of complaints by the board of conciliation will be Hatly rejected by the miners. The mine workers contend that the question of the eight hour day Is one of great importance to the worker and the scale committee will insist that this question be submitted to the commission for arbitration. The mine workers are of the opinion that there must be some modification on the proposition of the operators that the question of reduction of wages should be arbitrated as well as the question of an Increase. How far the miners will carry theip objection to this position of the operators that questions of reductions as well as Increases be arbitrated is not known. President David WIIIcox, of the Delaware & Hudson company, has stated that he Is prepared to show that the coal industry is in such shape that the price of fuel should be reduced and that there should be a decrease in wages. Not an Anarchist, He Says, ISAAC WEIL DIED TODAY Fall Groater Than Ever, "We are not anarchists—the people interested in this movement of which I am a small part." said Gorki* "We are seeking reforms that must and will come. The Russian government of today la nothing less than anarchy and its members anarchists. There is no law, no order. It is anarchy pure and simple under the guise of organized government, in which those who are not absolutely debased are kept in entire ignorance of the true condition of affairs in our distressed country."The roof of the market place collapsed tinder the weight of the tons of ashes, sand and cinders which Vesuvius has poured into Naples, and the fall of the ejecta Is greater than ever. The Pennsylvania railroad had a fortunate wreck today in that, while a passenger train collided with a Victim of Saturday's Accident at Ewen Washery. freight, yet no one was Injured. The wreck occurred at Retreat, bolow Wllkesbarre, about 9 o'clock this morning. The passenger train was north bound and was running on schedule time. The engineer suddenly saw a slow moving freight a short distance ahead of him, close to .Retreat, and before he could bring his train to a stop It crashed with considerable speed Into the rear of the freight. The trainmen on the first train saw their danger and jumped before the collision. The engine of the passenger train was badly smashed—In fact, put out of commission, and one of the passenger coaches and several of the freight cars were badly smashed up. The wreck blocked traffic and a special train was formed at Wilkesbarre to convey the passengers to that city. All over the city roofs are being cleared of the ashes and sand which threaten buildings with collapse, and the streets are almost impassable In some places from the shovelings from the roofs «f residences and other buildings. Traffic in the streets is carried on with the greatest difficulty, and even walking is irksome. Plowed Field Sowed With Dynamite.

Since Schneider took possession of the place several sticks of dynamite burled in the fields and about the buildings have been found. iiifi Culm It'll and Was liiirncil Internally—Passed Away at OBITUARY. the Hospital Tills Morti- Gorky speaks five variations of the Russian tongue and understands, although to no great extunt.

Interment in Newton The accident at the Ewen washery. of the Pennsylvania Coal Co., last Saturday afternoon, yhen seven workmen were burned by the falling of a quantity of burning culm, has resulted in one fatality. Isaac Weil, one of the victims, passed away jit the Pittston hospital this morning: at 3 o'clock. The condition of Mr. Well was serious ever since the accident, it having been apparent that, in addition to the burns he received on his hands and face, he had inhaled the flames. There was a sllgru improvement In his condition yesterday, but it was only temporary. During the night he grew worse and at 3 o'clock this morning he passed away.

This, he said, had been conceded by his opponents, as had also been the point that the inferior courts derived their power from acts of congress and not from the constitution direct. tion With People. Barnum colliery, of the Pennsylvania Coal Co., located in Upper Pittston, has been placed in operation, thus bearing out the reports that were in circulation just previous to the suspension, to the effect that the first colliery that £rie officials would attempt to work would be the Barnum. An inquiry at the Dunmore office of the Pennsylvania Co. this morning elicited the verification of the report that the colliery was in operation. It was stated that coal was being mined and that it was also being prepared in the breaker and shipped. The company refuses to make any statement as to the number of men at work or the amount of coal that is being mined. From other sources, the report comes that the company has gathered at the Barnum some 15 non-union miners from various collierieB of the company and that they have been at work in the mine for some days, with the result that sufficient coal was accumulated to make it possible to put the breaker In operation yesterday. The breaker was also operated today. Several English-speaking men are among the miners at work, but the majority of them are foreigners. The company had no trouble in securing a sufficient number of men to operate the breaker, having brought into the district a number of "imports" and having recourse to the outside hands that remain at work. The amount of coal mined and prepared is necessarily limited. The various washeries of the Erie system continue in operation, and they are turning out a largeamount of small-nixed coal. Ashes from Crater. an Association. The scenes when the llivit bodies were unearthed at Ottajano were fearful. The positions of the bodies showed their faces wearing the stamp of fear. Three bodies were found ill the confessional of one of the faKen churches. One was that of an old woman. She was sitting with her right arm raised as'though to ward off impending danger. Near by was a child with one hand across the face and the other arm around n little dog. The third body was that of a woman crushed beyond all recognition. New York, April 11.—While the arbitration plan proposed by the anthracite operators is not entirely satisfactory to the miners' committee, there Is a strong feeling that a wedge has been entered for the adoption of an arbitration scheme that will be mutually agreeable. A new arbitration plan from the miners is the next move scheduled. New York, April 11. — "America! America! America! 1 have been waiting and longing to see this wonderful country, and now one of the desires of my life is fulfilled," spoke Maxim Gorky. Uussiau author and revolutionist. as tlie Kaiser Wllhelni der Crosse came into sight of Long Island. Naples. April 11.—Vesuvius, after a brief period of quiescence, has broken out afresh with still greater ejections of blinding, poisonous ashes and sand which are falling fast in this city. Driven by a high wind, laden with sulphurous gases from the crater's mouth, the air is so thick that breathing is difficult.Philadelphia, April 11.—That the bituminous coal traffic is divided among six railroad companies was developed at the first hearing of the Interstate Commerce Commission held here for the purpose of determining whether the railroad companies are interested, directly or indirectly, in the oil or coal which Is transported over their lines. Four members of the commission—Martin A. Knapp, chairman; Former Senator Francis M. Cockerell, of Missouri, Judson Clements and C. H. Prouty—are here to conduct the hearings. William A. Glasgow, of this city, and Edward B. Whitney, of New York, have been engaged as counsel for the commission; General Solicitor Francis I. Gowen and Assistant General Solicitor Geo. Stuart Patterson represent the Pennsylvania Railroad Co., and the Reading Co. is represented by General Solicitor Judge J. D. Campbell. MY. Bailey set out with the one end in view of establishing the soundness of Ills contention that congress ha* the power to deny to tiie inferior United States courts the right to suspend the orders of the interstate commerce commission pending the final decision of cases arising under the proposed law. This he undertook to do by citing innumerable decisions of the courts and quoting many other, authorities. With him was his wife, a woman of unusually attractive presence, seemingly more French than Russian, who as Mine. Andreeva gained wide fame on the I5us«ian stage. l Tho miners' scale committee met today at the Ashland House to consider the latest reply of the operators to the demand for arbitration, and it was Indicated this morning that a counter proposition will be drafted, which will be presented to the operators at the joint meeting tomorrow. The operators say today that the situation is with Mitchell and his men and that upon them depends whether or not there shall be peace in the hard coal industry. The flow of lava, which had almost ceased, has also recommenced. The incalculable energy at play in the heart of the mountain seems endless, and tbp people of Naples are in fearful anticipation of unknown disasters which Vesuvius may visit u|»ou them. Tall mid raw honed, with a face of marked strength, tlie revolutionist wore an air of timidity when first encountered lliat fitted ill with his general appearance. Quite devoid of self consciousness. It was only with difficulty that lit- could he persuaded to talk about himself or his work. Now York, April 11.—A committor was formort hero to raise a fund for Iho relief of til© sufferers who were driven from their homes by the eruption of Mquilt Vesuvius. Already the committee has contributed $1,800. and it is expected that many thousands will he raised. William II. Hearst was elected chairman of the committee, included in which are former Judge John Palmieri. Joseph X. Francelinl, James H. March and prominent Italians. Aid For Italian Sufferers. "If." said Mr. Bailey, "the president is commanded by a statute to perform a certain duty he does not consider the authority is given directly lDy the constitution. The constitution is the source of all power, but it is a dead letter unless congress breathes into it the breath of life." A real nil'! present danger is hero In the great fall of sand and ashes, as shown by the frightful collapse of the roof over the market place of Monte O'.iveto, in the heart of the city, wiiCn more than 200 men. women and children were buried in the ruins, fourteen killed outright and 124 injured so that they had to he removed to hospitals. When the vessel had docked and Gorky started to leave the pier he walked into the midst of n thousand shouting, cheering, frantic Russians whose enthusiasm over' their champion. as tbe.v proclaimed him, was so great that a squad of police was necessary lo clear a path to allow of the jxit of him and his party. The miners point out that the operators, by astute wording of the proposition that the anthracite strike commission be requested to arbitrate the situation, have lost the miners one member of the commission who was a great friend of the mine workers, Bishop Spalding, of Peoria. The bishop has recently suffered severe attacks of paralysis, and is consequently unable to serve. The operators In the counter proposition state: "The members of the anthracite 'strike commission. or such of them as may be able and willing to act, shall be requested to decide," etc. The principal witnesses were Upton H. White, statistician of the Tidewater Steam Bituminous Coal Traffic association; W. W. Atterbury, general manager of the Pennsylvania railroad; Joseph G. Searle, traffic manager of the same company, and Theodore Voorhees, vice president of the Reading Co. Through these witnesses it was brought out that the Pennsylvania Railroad Co., the Reading Co.. the Beech Creek division of the New York Central railroad, the Baltimore & Ohio, the Chesapeake & Ohio and the Norfolk & Western Railroad companies are members of the Tidewater Steam Bituminous Coal Traffic association, which was organized in 1896. The members of the association, it was shown, have an agreement by which each is allotted a certain percentage of the soft coal tonnage. It Is the duty of Mr. White to compute the liercentage of coal carried by each company and make a monthly report or the same. The documentary evidence produced at the request of tlio commission included the by-laws of the association. There was a significant suggestion from Mr. Hale indicating the possibility of an understanding and an early vote on the rate measure. The frightful accident fed the terror of the people until tliey were neiir inad with excitement, fear ami grief. and when the wind shifted sand and ashes again began to over the city, and the rumbling and groaning of the mountain told that further disturbances might be expected. Hope fled, and again the crowds watch the mountain from streets and houses in panic. President Senda Sympathy to Italy, Washington. April 11 The president New York, April 11.—George ,1. Gould made a very agreeable witness for General Louis Fitzgerald, who is being sued by Morris (". Meuges for $1,000.- 000, which he claims as commission for bringing about the sale to Mr. Gould of the Western Maryland railroad. One of the most striking features of Mr. Gould's testimony was brought out toward tlie close of his examination when he said he subscribed $1,000,000 to the $20,000,000 syndicate which purchased the West Virginia Central and the Western Maryland roads merely to oblige his personal counsel for the railroad interests, Wiuslow Pierce.

PASSENGER TRAIN STRUCK FREIGHT. This clause prevents anyone from serving in Bishop Spalding's place, and, as the bishop was appointed on the commission by President Roosevelt at Mitchell's request, they think it only fair that the President be asked to appoint some one in his place. This request will doubtless be Incorporated in the miners' counter proposition. The elimination of the miners' demands to only the question of wages and the adjustment of complaints by the board of conciliation will be Hatly rejected by the miners. The mine workers contend that the question of the eight hour day Is one of great importance to the worker and the scale committee will insist that this question be submitted to the commission for arbitration. The mine workers are of the opinion that there must be some modification on the proposition of the operators that the question of reduction of wages should be arbitrated as well as the question of an Increase. How far the miners will carry theip objection to this position of the operators that questions of reductions as well as Increases be arbitrated is not known. President David WIIIcox, of the Delaware & Hudson company, has stated that he Is prepared to show that the coal industry is in such shape that the price of fuel should be reduced and that there should be a decrease in wages. Not an Anarchist, He Says, ISAAC WEIL DIED TODAY Fall Groater Than Ever, "We are not anarchists—the people interested in this movement of which I am a small part." said Gorki* "We are seeking reforms that must and will come. The Russian government of today la nothing less than anarchy and its members anarchists. There is no law, no order. It is anarchy pure and simple under the guise of organized government, in which those who are not absolutely debased are kept in entire ignorance of the true condition of affairs in our distressed country."The roof of the market place collapsed tinder the weight of the tons of ashes, sand and cinders which Vesuvius has poured into Naples, and the fall of the ejecta Is greater than ever. The Pennsylvania railroad had a fortunate wreck today in that, while a passenger train collided with a Victim of Saturday's Accident at Ewen Washery. freight, yet no one was Injured. The wreck occurred at Retreat, bolow Wllkesbarre, about 9 o'clock this morning. The passenger train was north bound and was running on schedule time. The engineer suddenly saw a slow moving freight a short distance ahead of him, close to .Retreat, and before he could bring his train to a stop It crashed with considerable speed Into the rear of the freight. The trainmen on the first train saw their danger and jumped before the collision. The engine of the passenger train was badly smashed—In fact, put out of commission, and one of the passenger coaches and several of the freight cars were badly smashed up. The wreck blocked traffic and a special train was formed at Wilkesbarre to convey the passengers to that city. All over the city roofs are being cleared of the ashes and sand which threaten buildings with collapse, and the streets are almost impassable In some places from the shovelings from the roofs «f residences and other buildings. Traffic in the streets is carried on with the greatest difficulty, and even walking is irksome. Plowed Field Sowed With Dynamite.
