'A Beef Men Call on'Washing- Argument Started in Mine Czar Summons Troops to —Colliery is Idle. Illinois Operators Grant the Settlement In Cork Lane. The employes at Heidelberg breaker, No. 2, Lehigh Valley Coal Co., went on strike yesterday at noon. The .colliery is idle, throwing 300 men and boys temporarily out of employment. The strike was declared because of an alleged act of discrimination on the part of the company in not reinstating Joseph Martin, the former breaker boss, who stopped work when the suspension was declared.

The stage disappearance of Mephisto into the infernal regions via the trap door route vVasn't a circumstance to the manner in which a cow owned by a foreigner, of Rock street, Cork LCane, did the vanishing act last evening. The latter feat was witnessed by Peter Gllroy, a Cork Lane renldent, and it caused him to actually doubt the evidence of his own eyes. Mt. Gilroy was walking along the street about 7:30 and on the opposite side, a short distance ahead, he saw a covj outside the property of James Ford, contentedly currying its side against a rough board fence. He was noticing the animal as he walked slowly forward, but suddenly he stopped, gazed, rub-bod his eyes and gazed again. True as fate, the cow was nowhere to be seen. He looked forward and backward, but still no cow was in sight. With a slight misapprehension lest titfe powers of magic might be abroad Mr. Gilroy went slowly forward until he approached where the cow had stood. And then the mystery was cleared. A hole In the ground just about the shape of a cow's body was wliere the animal had stood, and as he came to a stand Mr. Gilroy heard a low moaning sound Issue from the hole. He hurriedly surhmoned the men of the neighborhood, and as they looked at tthe cave they decided it would be unsafe to rescue the cow by lifting her out, as the surrounding earth showed signs of weakness. It was evident that the animal had dropped to wihat is known as' the checker slope of Butler colliery, which Is at some points only 15 feet below the surface. A number of men secured mine lamps and made their way cautiously into the slope, moving slowly In fear that the cave might extend. They Ilnally reached the cow and found her knee deep In soil and mud. After some trouble she was led out and an -examination showed she had received no more serious injury than a few scratches on her legs. The point at which the cave occurred is above the Lehig/ Valley cutoff tracks and Is In the territory wherein the residents were recently warned to vacate by the Hillside Coal & Iron Co.

The breaker employes talked the matter over for some days before they decided on a strike. The officials of the company stated that the colliery will remain idle until the employes choose to return to work. The findings of the president's commissioners are, it Is said, about as follows: They say that lard is manufactured from hogs which die from cholera, that the meat Inspectors are incompetent and overworked, that sanitary conditions prevailing at the packing bouses are revolting, that the packers use preservatives and that meat is sold to Americans which is deemed unfit for exportation to Europe. The commission's remedy for all this is publicity. Caldwell, Ida., May 29.—As Charles II. Moyer, president of the Western Federation of Miners; William 1D. Haywood, secretary and treasurer, and George A. 1'ettibone, formerly a member of the executive committee of the federation, prepared to' go to the bai in a motion for a change of venue in their trial for the murder of formei Governor Frank Steunenberg of Idaho, Moyer said: "I will prove my innocenca and this attempt to railroad us will add strength to our union.

The question of a stttlement is declared to be a matter of detail and by the beginning of next week mining will be resumed In Illinois with union men. Washington. May 29.—The barons of the beef trust are just beginning to realize that there is more than one way to skin a cat. Washington is being flooded with 'telegrams asking the retainers of the trust here and the men with whom the trust is supposed to have influence to do something—anything—to help save DIED IN CHURCH. In return for the restoration of the 1903 scale of wages the Illinois miners have agreed to pay the wages of shot tlrers and to ask for the repeal of the law by the next legislature. They have agreed also to indemnify the operators for the loss sustained through the action of pit committees in calling unauthorized strikes. This latter grievance was one of the most seriou:C objections the operators had against the union. Under the new agreement the union will be responsible for the conduct of the miners and guarantee that no sueh strikes will be permitted in the future. At a conference of representatives of Indiana, Ohio and Illinois operators the Illinois operators asked to be released from their agreement not to settle with the miners until a sttlement should bo reached tlso in Ohio and Indiana. The request will be granted, leaving the Illinois operators free to settle with the union miners. The scale committee of the miners and operators will meet in Spring, field today and submit a report to the joint conference on Wednesday which will, it is believed, end the suspension of work. The question of a settlement in Illinois has been left by the miners to a committee headed by President Johu Mitchell. The strike lias been in force since April 1 and involves 55,- 000 miners.

Chicago, May 20.—The Chicago packers are exceedingly anxious know the contents of the Neill-Reynolds report on the conditions of the packing houses here. None of the packers will be quoted for publication except lu the statements that their plants are sanitary, clean and conducted in accordance with the laws. The czar has also summoned Prince Urusuff. it is reported. Who Will Pay Inspection Fees? Count WItte anil his wife have gone nbroml.

The agents of the beef trust who are here cynically say that the fees will lie paid iu the end by the consumer, but the consumer will at least got healthful moat and not stuff that comes from diseased animals and has been dyed and doped and chemicalized. They say they are at a disadvantage in the present agitation because they do not know with what shortcomings they are charged, and hence are not in a position to make a defense to members of congress. While they think they should be Informed of the accusations made against them, they are unwilling to have the Neill-Reynolds report made public by the president lest it injure their trade at home and abroad. . Memorial Day comes again tomorrow, and honor will bo done to tho memory of the boys In blue who sleep beneath the sod. The day of elaborate Memorial Day parades has passed, at least so far as this section is concorned. The number of surviving veterans is dwindling, and those who remain find'it burdensome, financially and physically, to prepare the largo parades that formerly marked Memorial Day. IJut there Is no diminution of the Interest felt by the veterans In Memorial Day, and tomorrow will find details of Nugent Post, Grand Army of the Republic, visiting all the cemeteries in the community to lay Hags and flowers on the graves of the soldier dead. In the principal cemeterie—Pittston, West Pittston, Market street and St. Mary's—appropriate services Will be held. Those services will start about 9:30 o'clock, and a cordial invitation is extended to the public generally to attend. At the Pittston cemetery, the address will be delivered by Rev. R. C, Burch, at Market street one of the clergy of St. John's will speak, at St. Mary's one of the clergy of_St. Mary's will speak, and in West Pittston the speaker will be Rev. Dr. Severson. During the past few days a great amount of work has been done in the various cemeteries, and they now present a very pleasing appearance. The sextons have done their part toward beautifying the cemeteries in a general way, Ctnd the lot owners have also been industrious in decking individual graves with flowers. Compromise With Peasants, The present ministry is preparing a compromise agrarian measure, which unexpectedly provides for distributing millions of acres of crown 'lands in European Russia. It is reported that there has boon a falling off of 33 per cent in the orders from Germany and England, the two largest consumers of beef trust products, since this agitation began. It is also reported that the largest individual meat order over given to a Chicago concern was canceled a day or two ago. This order was from .lapan. The German, French and English producers are circulating extracts from what has been printed about the trust in this country and injuring the export trade materially. It can lio said on authority that the government expects enough land can be obtained by dividing tiie crown lands, clearing a part of the inf|ierial forests and by the voluntary sale of private estates to meet the peasants' demands without forced expropriation. The packers affect to disbelieve the newspaper stories purporting t(j give the gist of the report. They say these stories are guesswork, but they readily grant that the charges contained in them are in ore than likely to be true of the small slaughter houses at the stockyards. A representative of Armour iV Co. put the onus of alleged uueleanlinoss on the small competitors of the "Big Four," and in doing so he simply followed the example of others who had preceded him in public statements as to the conditions obtaining at the several plants. Break in Strikers' Ranks. Steubenville, O., May 29.—The first break in the miners' strike in the Pan Handle district occurred yesterday, when several of the miners of the Ilitchman Coal Co., at BenwOod, members of tho United Mine Workers, returned to the mines. The failure of the United Mine Workers to continue the payment of strike benelits is the cause of the defection, which it is thought will spread, especially among the foreign workers. CHARLES n.

Detroit, Mich., May 20.—James E. Scripph (lied at 2:4 5 o'clock this morning. He was associated with the Scripps-McKea .Publishers' Press association.

Sinclair Attacks Beveridge Bill. state. New York. May 29.—ITpton Sinclair sharply attacked the Beveridge bill, which has passed the senate, as insufficient to correct the abuses in ihe slaughter houses and assure the public clean, healthy meat. He declared it would not stop the killing of diseased cattle and that the utmost publicity is essential to remedy the conditions which he exposed in his startling book, "The Jungle." Many Kilied Before Steunenberg The result, it is charged by the prosecution. was that his name was 'placed on the list of those who were doomed to die. and on Dec. .'$0 last, six years after his name was placed on the list, he was killed by a bomb, which exploded as lie opened the gate leading tobis house.

In 1878 the Press was established in Cleveland, In 18S0 The Chronicle, in St. Louis, and In 1881 The Post was purchased and reorganized in Cincinnati by E. W. Scripps.

They found revolting sanitary conditions, the use of injured and diseased cattle and many things of that kind. The beef barous are shouting for a congressional Investigation in order thai they may have time to clean up while the committee is getting ready to go to work. The president lias said nothing about that 'phase of the matter. What he has said is that if the beef barons try to hold up this legislation lie will tell all the people exactly what conditions have existed in the packing houses and slaughter pens. that delightful summer resort now in full blast.

THE STORY OF "THE PRINCESS" 1 toiler George R, Honey, ft well knowji resident of Nanticoke, met death yesterday by falling from the top of a boiler. Mr. Honey was a boilermaker by occupation and he was engaged with a force of men in removing the tubes from a Climax boiler, preparatory to the removal of the boiler from Nanticoke to Glen Lyon. Mr. Honey was standing on top of the boiler, a distance of 20 feet from the floor, and in attempting to catch a rope which a fellow workman threw to him he lost his balance and'fell headlong to the ground. A physician The story of "The Princess," a dramatisation of which will be presented in the Broad Street Theater, tomorrow evening by the Plttston High School, is that of a prince who had been betrothed while yet a child to a child princess in the South. He had In all his growing years worn her portrait and made her his ideal. Upon his coming to muuhood, his father, the king, sends an embassy, and claims the maiden tor his son. But the princess Ida refuses to marry, having conceived the idea of carrying on a college for women, and educating them to nobler lives than they have led previous to her time. Kodttcheff, leader of the Constitutional Democrats, issued a statement attacking the czar's advisers, who are not ministers. It was said also that others who had been doomed to die were former Governor Peabody of Colorado, former Adjutant General Sherman Bell, Captain Bulkeley Wells. Samuel ID.

An examination revealed that Honey's neck was broken and his skull fractured. The deceased was born at Honey Pot. a Nanticoke suburb, 32 years ago. and had lived in Nanticoke and vicinity all his life. He was a most estimable man and his tragic death has cast a gloom over the community. He was a member of the Primitive Methodist church and of several lodges. His wife and four children survive. "Keep It quiet" was the word, and no speeches were made. This was due to the efforts of the cattle raisers as well as the killers and packers. The cattlemen do not want their market spoiled. The prince determines to seek the princess, and, with two friends from his fatherfs court, and in disguise penetrates the retirement of the college. The men are discovered, and are kept from the fate threatened in the sentence upon the gate, "Let no man enter here on pain of death," by the arrival of the prince's father with an army, which invests the college. Letters are received by the princess acquainting her of this fact, and threatening both herself and her plans with immediate destruction. Czar Plans Trip Abroad.
