About 30 miners employed In the checker slope of Heidelberg No. 1 colliery, of the Valley Coal Co., went on strike this morning because they allege a reduction In the price paid for yardage. What the specific amount of the demand is has not been learned thus far. The men are to hold a meeting this evening. T. J.

Elmer Ellsworth Helme, one of our best known residents, came to his death very suddenly on Saturday night, and the news of his death occasioned great sorrow among his many friends. Mr. Helme was apparently In good health on Saturday, and the attack came with appalling suddenness. On Saturday evening, he went to the West Pittston Hose company's rooms to take a bath and, after coming from the water, was In the act of dressing, when the attack came upon him. A resident of that vicinity, in company with several boys, heard his call for aid and ran to the upper 'floor, where they found Mr. Holme sitting in a chair, unable to assist himself In any way. A stretcher was secured and ho was taken to his home at 315 Exeter street, where he passed away about 11:40, never regaining consciousness.

There wore three highly indignant assessors in the city Saturday afternoon, when they learned that their pay had been stopped by the board of revision of taxes and appeals. So highly Incensed were they that all who were In any measure responsible for the condition were visited by the assessors, Messrs. Horry, Lyons and MeHalc, and treated to a lecture. There were decidedly some exciting doings in the official family and things had not quieted down yesterday. It is believed that the orderis for the pay of the assessors will be made out today and they will likely receive compensation for their work for tho past quarter tomorrow.

For 30 years he conducted a penny policy game, accumulating millions of dollars, and then made mats in Sing Sing for 18 months in expiation of his offense. The holding up of the assessors' pay was an action of the board of appeals and was decided on some weeks ago, before the assessors started their present assessment. The decision was however, so much In line with other much talked of and seldom accomplished actlongtof the various bodies of city government, that no attention was paid to It, and it Is doubtful If the assessors ever heard of the resolution aimed at them. The resolution was that, unless tho assessors made a new assessment of the city from end to end, that their pay should be held from them. Whether or not the board had any right to adopt and expect the fjjlkU'ih, an order Is a question that is bothering the assessors Just now. At any rate tho action was taken.

The elder Miss Werneth, who was uc accomplished swimmer, and young Williams reached a tree, which they climbed. The other persons In the boat were drowned before their eyes. Saturday was the lost day of the quarter, and the assessors called at the city treasurer's to see If their money was waiting for them. To say they were surprised would be putting it mildly when they learned that no orders had been sent in for their pay, $66.60 each. Then the officials and members of the board "got It" In proper manner. What right had the board, the assessors said, to order the holding up of orders? No one ventured to answer their question. "There la a Turkish legend," he said, "to the effect that If a mau prays seven consecutlvc mornings a lone Id the mosque for good luck It will come. Near St. Sophia mosque, Constantinople, a poor man lived who tried to carry out the injunction; but, when he kneeled, to his chagrin he always saw another man who had arrived first. The fourth morning he could restrain himself no longer and cried out: 'What Is the secret of your getting to the mosque first? I get up early and lose no time.' The other man asked, 'How mnny wives have you?" When ho answered 'One,* the fortunate man said: 'You can never get to the mosque earlier than I, for I have four wives.

They have completed five wards, they say. and are working on the sixth. The resolution of the revision board might lead to the assumption that their pay would be held up unless the assessment was handed in complete, but it is not believed that the board meant—even if it had tho power—to be this severe.

Elmer Ellsworth Helme, one of our best known residents, came to his death very suddenly on Saturday night, and the news of his death occasioned great sorrow among his many friends. Mr. Helme was apparently In good health on Saturday, and the attack came with appalling suddenness. On Saturday evening, he went to the West Pittston Hose company's rooms to take a bath and, after coming from the water, was In the act of dressing, when the attack came upon him. A resident of that vicinity, in company with several boys, heard his call for aid and ran to the upper 'floor, where they found Mr. Holme sitting in a chair, unable to assist himself In any way. A stretcher was secured and ho was taken to his home at 315 Exeter street, where he passed away about 11:40, never regaining consciousness.

General Alnsworth, military secretary, and Oennrni Bell, chief of staff of the army, arc busy concluding arrangements for tlie departure of the fivnt expeditionary force to Cuba. There wore three highly indignant assessors in the city Saturday afternoon, when they learned that their pay had been stopped by the board of revision of taxes and appeals. So highly Incensed were they that all who were In any measure responsible for the condition were visited by the assessors, Messrs. Horry, Lyons and MeHalc, and treated to a lecture. There were decidedly some exciting doings in the official family and things had not quieted down yesterday. It is believed that the orderis for the pay of the assessors will be made out today and they will likely receive compensation for their work for tho past quarter tomorrow. At the Pensacola navy yard many ot the warships berthed there were bcaclied or sunk. The Santa Itosa hospital was swept away.

For 30 years he conducted a penny policy game, accumulating millions of dollars, and then made mats in Sing Sing for 18 months in expiation of his offense. The holding up of the assessors' pay was an action of the board of appeals and was decided on some weeks ago, before the assessors started their present assessment. The decision was however, so much In line with other much talked of and seldom accomplished actlongtof the various bodies of city government, that no attention was paid to It, and it Is doubtful If the assessors ever heard of the resolution aimed at them. The resolution was that, unless tho assessors made a new assessment of the city from end to end, that their pay should be held from them. Whether or not the board had any right to adopt and expect the fjjlkU'ih, an order Is a question that is bothering the assessors Just now. At any rate tho action was taken.

The elder Miss Werneth, who was uc accomplished swimmer, and young Williams reached a tree, which they climbed. The other persons In the boat were drowned before their eyes. Saturday was the lost day of the quarter, and the assessors called at the city treasurer's to see If their money was waiting for them. To say they were surprised would be putting it mildly when they learned that no orders had been sent in for their pay, $66.60 each. Then the officials and members of the board "got It" In proper manner. What right had the board, the assessors said, to order the holding up of orders? No one ventured to answer their question. "There la a Turkish legend," he said, "to the effect that If a mau prays seven consecutlvc mornings a lone Id the mosque for good luck It will come. Near St. Sophia mosque, Constantinople, a poor man lived who tried to carry out the injunction; but, when he kneeled, to his chagrin he always saw another man who had arrived first.

They have completed five wards, they say. and are working on the sixth. The resolution of the revision board might lead to the assumption that their pay would be held up unless the assessment was handed in complete, but it is not believed that the board meant—even if it had tho power—to be this severe.
