Operators 'Agree Not to At- tempt to Open Any of the Mines. SCRANTON, Pa., May 11.—There will be no coal mined in the Scranton end of the antharicte region to-morrow. Even though the strike order was not certain of being religiously obeyed there would be no min- ing, as the companies have agreed that no attempt ‘would be made to operate. The companies will not admit that the agree- ment to refrain from an attempt at ope- rating is eventually to resolve itself into a lockout should events at Hazleton make | such a thing possible.

The story that the Morganized fleets will be used to import coal and prevent | 2 famine does not cause President Mitch- ell any evident concern. He dismisses it with the remark that the United States s now exporting coal to all parts of the world. HAZLETON, Pa., May 11 Anticipating , two of the individual coal companies in this .region, Coxe Bros. & Co., operating the Beaver colliery, and Calvin Pardee Sons & Co., owners of the Lattmer mines, have noti- fied their employes that they need mnot report for work until ordered to do so. These companies, it is believed, expect | a long struggle. The Lehigh Valley Coal Company an- nounced to-day that it will give employ- ment to all men who report for work to- morrow Meetings of the United Mine Workers’ locals were held in most of the mining villages in the Hazelton district to-day, and delegates were elected to the coming. convention. It is impossible to ascertain the attitude of the locals on the question, as the meetings were secret. It was reported to-day that an effort will be made to start up the Cranberry | breaker, operated by A. Pardee & Co. with non-union stripping, so that all th coal that was not sent to the surface.on Saturday may be prepared for market. The stripping men to-day, however, say that they will under no.conditions take the places of strikers at the mines.

WAVE OF LAVA FAST COVERING ENTIRE ISLAND ARIS, May 11.—The Temps to-day, referring to the de- struction of St. Pierre, says: “We believe, from the jnfor- mation received here from the island of Martinique (meaning, doubtless, the official dispatches), that the disaster surpasses all that imagina- tion can conceive. The whole north- ern portion of the island is laid yvaste. Three large communities, exclusive of St. Pierre, have been destroved. The | victims comprise two candidates for to- day’s balloting for members of the Chamber of Deputies.” A dispatch received here to-day from | Fort de France, Martinique, says: “All | the hills surrounding Le Carbet and Le Precheur (near St. Pierre) are covered with refugees, to the number of about 5000, who are being taken away gradu- ally. In the meanwhile provisions are being conveyed to them. : Of the thirty persons who were orig- inally rescued by the French cruiser Suchet, the majority were fearfully burned and nine died while on their way to the hospital. “The corpses, which are heaped on | the ruins of St. Pierre, are not only completely naked, but are frightfully mulil;\:cd." ; CRUISER VISITS ST. PIERRE. The Minister of Marine, M. de Lan- essan, to-day received a cable dispatch from the commander of the French cruiser Suchet, dated at Fort.de France. Martinique, saying that he conducted a search at St. Pierre yesterday. The captain reports the town is now a mere heap of smoking ruins, under which the | victims of the catastrophe are buried. The Suchet was able to convey some of the inhabitants of Le Precheur to Fort de France, but could not reach the northernmost part of the island, on ac- count of the dense rain of ashes. The captain of the ‘Suchet further re- ported that the Mont Pelee volcano still had a threatening aspect yesterday evening. Subterranean roarings werc heard, flashes of flame frequently belch- ed from the volcano and stones were. thrown cut with immense force. A dispatch received at the Colonial] Office here to-day from Fort de France says there is no doubt that Governor Mouttet and the commander of the troops at St. Pierre, Colonel Dain, are dead. Other dispatches confirm the reports that the American and British Consuls and their families perished. M. Bloch, Inspector of Finance. 'and M.

B SIX PARTIES OF REFUGEES ARE MISSING ONDON, May 11.—The latest reports l received here say that the state of | 7 afrairs at St. Vincent creates grave { alarm, especially “as dispatches | from the island of Dominica, forwarded Sunday, reported that La Soufriere vol- | cano in St. Vincent was still in active { eruption.

This Is Important for Health Building in May. Thousands of Cures Made by Paine’s Celery Compound Should Convince You of Its Value. “What you do, do it well,” is the golden rule of business life. This rule and far- reaching command capn be profitably ob- served in many other conditions of life. In sickness'and suffering it is all-impor- tant that ‘“what you do” to banish dis- ease and restore lost health should be well done. While prudence and common sense will, in nearly ever$ instance, di- rect you aright, the experience of your friends and neighbors and the thousands rescued from sickness and suffering will point directly to Paine’s Celery Compound as the infallible health giver. People who think they will get rid of troubles such as rheumatism, neuralgia, dyspepsia and nervous disorders by medi- cines which have not yet passed the ex= perimental stage will be sadly disappoint= ed and find their sufferings increased. To get rid of rheumatism, neuralgia, dyspepsia and nervous complaints it is wisdom to use Paine’s Celery Compound, a medicine that proceeds at once to make the appetite normal, sleep natural and re- freshing, the nerves strong. as a founda- tion for building up_ health and vigor. If sick people in May look for a true nerve strengthener, an honest blood*puri- fier, a reliable diuretic, that will restore strength, renew vitality, regulate the kid- neys, liver and bowels, they should at once make use of Palne’s Celery Com- pound and note the speedy and pleasing results that flow from its use.
