The school is supported by the Sons of Veterans, arid its pupils are mainly sons and grandsons of old soldiers, although the course is open to anyone who pays the required tuition. A large number of the scholars are taken from the orphan schools, when they are discharged from those institutions at the age of sixteen. These boys, if they are sons or grandsons of veterans, are given their tiAtion, but must work for their board, which they do in various ways for the people of the town. The school is run W. J.

( Continued on Second Page.) MINERS INSTITUTE IN PUNX'Y TODAY By taking yesterday's game from Olean, I'unx'y made it three straight from the New Yorkers and put a hammerlock oil second place. Tim game started with snap and Mill's Mustangs chased two over the plate i In the first inning. Things went alotiK j smoothly, I'unx'y making but on» more run up until the eighth inning when they found it necessary to do so in order to redeem a game that seemingly had been won and lost, olean in their half of the eighth bumped Adams for live hits, two of which were a little questionable, and the bingles netted them four runs, which put them one to the good. With two out in their half of the same inning I'unx'y went after thing* in the proper manner. Campbell walked, ('rum was Tilt by a pitched ball and Yoedt walked, as did Allen, which forced Campbell over the plate, tying the score. Bill Bailey then meandered to the plate and soaked the pellet to the right Held fence for two sacks, sending ('rum and Yoedt home. Adams singled In his turn and Al- I len chased across the plate with Bailey I close in the rear. Meehan also place«\ j one where there wasn't anyone but I was caught while trying to make it a I two-bagger. Montgomery made a pretty stop in the eighth of a ground ball which looked as though it were billed for two sacks. In the ninth inning Pop I went up into the air and pulled down la stinger from Ryan's bat, thereby robbing that gentleman of a hit. In the sixth inning Weller pitched but five balls. ('rum had two called on him and swatted the third one ifito* middle and Troy pulled It down. (Continued on Pag« 81*.) off.

NEW YORK, July 1G.—The follow-! ing statement is authorised on behalf j «>f the AnthrAcitc Coal Oporators: The Hoard of Conciliation created j by the Strike Commission of 1902 to settle disputes between the anthracite ' coal miners and operators, hats at last 1 a clean docket. Not a single case is j today pending. This marks a condl- j tlon of industrial peace brought about by means which are probably unique in this country. It must be assumed that, if the miners have complaints to make, they ure satisfied* with the1 way they are being treated. During the four years of the Com- I mission's existence 1G9 differences be- j tween the coal operators and their em- | ployees have been settled. The Hoard itself—composed of three representatives of the operators and three of the miners—has disposed of 132 of the cases, and an even division of the ; Board has made It necessary to refer j only twenty-seven cases to an umpire, j Of these appeals, he sustained the , complaint In only six cases. Experience gained in handling the j complex questions Invoved has enabled | the Hoard to render decisions with in- j creasing promptness, and of the 159 : cases presented forty-nine were disposed of within less than one month. Of the grievances considered, only one was presented by the United Mine Workers of America, as a body representing all the miners. Thirteen were presented by the operators, and 14 0 by the miners. By the Board's decisions twenty-nine cases were sustained, 116 not sustained or withdrawn. I and fifteen settled "through the inllu! ence of the Board." I Almost every element of the miners' j welfare is Involved In controversies brought up' for consideration. The discharge of an employee, failure of j another to secure reinstatement, suspension of a contract for loading "dirty coal," requests for a half-holiday on pay day, and scores of other questions come before the Board. - illA I Questions affecting wages have been ■ ! rarely brought before the Board, for MflM \ ; the reason that the Anthracite Strike Iflfllv (J Commission, after exhaustive Investigation, settled upon a minimum scale If!

Heyei* reduced the fracture. William, twelve-year-old son of Griffith Pritehard, of Horatio, was Injured much in the same way as the McClineey boy. While going from limb to limb in a tree the youngster lost ids hold and tumbled to the ground, alighting on his shoulder. It was thought at tirst that the boy was not Injured, but examination developed the fact that his collar bone had i.napped. He was brought to Punxsutawney and the bone was set by Dr. W. P. Meyer.

BOSTON, Mass., July 16. — More names are yet to be added to the list of dead from yesterday s powder blast in the 4ft upper turfet of the battleship Qeorgla. Mldtihlpmmn James T. Cruse and Seaman James J. Walsh are dying, and It Is yet a question with several others of the seriously injured who will have a hard light for life. The surgeons fear that not all of them will win. After the Injured were discharged from the Feorgla the ship returned to Ihe target practice grounds off Nantucket Bay, the big battleship being practically uninjured. The official board <t finciuiry will be hampered by the fact that all of those who were nearest the bag of pow. der when It took tire are dead. The most general belief is that the powder was tired by a spark, but whether It came (rom the funnel outside or from a partially consumed piece of gunwadding inside of the turret may never be definitely decided. There were thirty-two men in the turret when the accident happened. The accident occurred shortly before noon today, while the Georgia's crew were at target practice oft Barnstable, In Cape Cod Bay. In some manner unexplained two bags of powder became Ignited, and In the terriblo Hash that followed the entire turret crew, consisting of three offices und 29 men. were enveloped In nre and received horrible burns, one officer and five men dying before the ship reached port.

The men. under command of Lieutenant Casper Goodrich, son of Rear Admiral Ooodrlch, commandant of the New York Navy Yard, and Midshipman Faulkner Uoldthwalto and John Ti Cruse were operating the eight-Inch guns at target practice. The guns in the forward turrets had finished eight rounds and the guns of the after turret had fired one round. Two cases, as the big 100-pound bags of powder are called, had Just been sent up through the ammunition hoist and were In the arms of the loader, whose name was withheld by the ship's officers. The loader stood at the breech of one of the eight-Inch guns all ready to Insert the charge. At this Instant the turret was seen to be smoky, and two men stood near the loader saw a black spot on the bag, Indicating that the charge had Ignited and was smouldering.The loder discovered the spot at the same Instant and threw himself forward on his face, at the same time sheutlng a warning to his turret mates.
