Won't Discuss Case Un til Men Resume Work. Freeland. Pa Oct. 17. John Kar disko, the discharged Jeddo "patcher." is now the bone of contention in what promises to be the most stubborn labor struggle in the anthracite region since the strike of 1902.

At a mass meeting held last night, the ttiployes of G. B. Markle voted to strike, and today the 3000 employes were Idle. This is the outcome of a controversy covering just three days. The decisions on both sides were reached with unusual promptness, and the ultinnv tum laid down with corresponding emphasis.

The case has more significance than would appear since the employes of the largest individual operator remaining in the anthracite field only are involved. The dispatch attending the strike decision has been such as to startle the more conservative of the United Mine Workers, especiajly in view of the fact that the employment cf a single boy constitutes the issue. Superintendent Smith, when seen by the committee, reaffirmed his position flatly, refusing to reopen the case and put the boy to work unless the men decided to return to work first and treat with the company as employes later. This decision, when reported at the mass meeting, was briefly discussed. A motion to stand by the boy ami tie up the six collieries of G.

Thomas Quinan, of No. 221 Kast Thirty ninth street, was called in. The doctor told the Park Commissioner that he must remain quiet for a time and had him lie down on a couch in the back parlor. The doctor visited him four times after this, the last time at 6 o'clock last night, when Mr. Pallas's attempt to leave the couch resulted in his collapse.

Party of Newspaper Men Were Taken Tlimugli tlte Tunnel This Morning Express Trains and Freight Trains Will Use the Tunnel, Beginning Next Thursday. The Laurel Line's tunnel at Scran ton will be opened for traffic on Oct. 19th. It will be used for passenger trathc only by the limited express trains and also for freight service.

By cu tting off the trip over the curve on the hill overlooking Scran ton, the tunnel route will reduce the time schedule of trains three minutes. The completion of the tunnel entailed enormous expense and marked one of the most gigantic feats of railroading in this section of Pennsylvania. Just why a million dollars was ex pended for a tunnel on a passenger railroad 20 miles in length is a veil ed secret. There is a general impres sion, however, that the completion of this tunnel is an epoch the freight his.tory of Scranton's commercial affairs. Like the rest of the Laurel Line, the tunnel is constructed on the Pennsylvania railroad style.

It brings to the center of Scranton an outlet for the freight traffic of the Pennsyl vania railroad, and an opportunity for a transfer of freight between the 1 R. R. and the L. W. R.

R. As to the tunnel itself, it is model. A party of newspaper mei were given a trip through it tli mornine under the personal directior of (leneral Manager Conn. The Scranton junction of the tunnel line and the present main line is but a short distance out from the Scranton der.ot. The tunnel line goes through the roundhouse yard and, just before reaching the bridge crossing Roaring Brook, changes from a double track tn sinirlc track system, the tunne being just wide enough for a single track.

The tunnel itself is almost a mile long, 4.750 feet, to be exact, and eveentinc the curves at both entranc it is a straight line. Once into the tunnel there is a straightaway stretch of 3,900 feet. It is lighted by means of incandescent lamps at a distance of everv 25 feet. The tunnel is spoken of ns heiiur in three sections masonry solid rock and timber sections. The minimum size is in the stone and con pte and is 17x23 feet ii size, the timber section being 18x23 feet.

There are 7 50 feet of masonry li.ioH tunnel. 1.300 feet of rock sec Hon. and 2.700 feet of timber lined Tn th tunnel are two shafts which are on the cast side of the track and onen into the tunnel by an arcneo culvert. These form a natural ven tilation. The shafts are 10x2 0 feet.

No. 1, the south shaft being 110 feet in arid No. 2. the north sbatt, being 180 feet in depth. The roadbed is ballasted with broken stone like the entire; road.

The southern outlet of the tunnel at houtn Scranton. and. after leaving the tun nel, the road extends a distance ol several hundred yards before it unites with the main line at what is to ue known as Council Junction, about opposite the Scranton brickyard. The work on the tunnel was commenced July 5th, 1904, and was completed Jufv Jflth. 1905.

It was prosecuted from both ends, and both ways from the two shafts, or on six headings The headings between the shafts met on June 10th. 1905, giving a contin uous opening from the north to the south end. The excavation was completed in July. As showing what the work entailed the following figures are interesting: 2,700 cubic yards of shaft excavation; S8.000 cubic yards iiinnnl excavation: 3,500 cubic yards of concrete lining; 1,150,000 feet board measure timber lining in nlace: 45.000 cubic yards of excava iirn in anni oach cuts: 3.000 cubic yards of concrete, masonry in ap proaches. Inasmuch as the tunnel is single tracked, the most careful precaution has been taken to prevent collisions.

At Connell Junction and at Scranton Junction are located cabins which are to be used as Interlocking switch and signal stations. The switch arrange ment is similar to the interlocking stvle used by all railroads, but the signal or right of way system Is a iininne nne. It is known as the "Staff which is used extensively on single track railroads in England and in some parts of the United States, but has never before been introduced in this section of Pennsylvania. Every train crew is under positive orders not to pass a signal cabin until the conductor secures a "staff" from an automatic machine. When a train arrives at cither end, the signal operator inquires of the other station as to whether the track is clear.

If the reply Is favorable (there is no train in the tunnel), the automatic machine will deliver out a small iron tubing which is called a "staff." This is the conductor's authority to take his train through the tunnel. He places the staff in a small rubber sack. When he arrives at the other end of the tunnel the staff Is handed over to the operator of the cabin at that end, who deposits it in the machine. The machine works independent of the operator. Should the latter make a mistake while a train is in the tunnel, and signal to the other station that the; track Is clear, the automatic, machine will refuse to give forth a "staff" until the train then in the tunnel has reached the other end and the "staff" carried by that conductor is deposited in the machine at that end.

The "staff" system is considered a most perfect one. The ride through the tunnel Is a pleasant one, and there will be none of the disagreeable sulphur or other odors which permeate! the air In tunnels on locomotive lines. The Laurel Line tunnel Is one of the longest and best constructed In this section of the country. Prince Philip Has Asked for a Divorce. CASE TO BE PUBLIC.

Woman in Case Has Caused Many Sensations. Gotba, Germany, Oct. 17. The suit brought by Frinee Philip of Saxe Co burg Gotha for au absolute divorce from his wife, the Princess Ixiuise, and for au adjustment of their joint property interests Itegan here liefore the ordinary court for the trial of divorce cases, the prince having waived bis technical right to have the case tried by a special court as provided for under the laws of his family. Both the principals were absent, but the Austrian officer, Lieutenant Kegle vitch Mattachich, with whom the princess eloped, was present.

The president of the court inquired of the attorneys for the prince if they desired to make any motion respecting the publicity of the proceedings. They replied that the prince had no objec tionto the proceedings being public. The attorneys for the princess also de clined to request privacy. The president then began the pro ceedings by proposing to the lawyers that the two parties seek to bring about a reconciliation, explaining that this was not meant to get the prince and princess to live together again, but to agree to an amicable separation and a satisfactory agreement regarding property. The lawyers agreed to take the matter under consideration and asked for an intermission for the The prince's lawyer said the prince asked for an absolute divorce in order to secure a complete separation.

Arrangement Proposed. During the recess the lawyers agreed to an arrangement on the following basis: The prince to continue the payment to the princess of a yearly allow ance of $18,000 and also to pay to her a lump sum of $30,000, provided she abandon all further claims against the prince and that after the divorce she adopt the name and title of Louise, princess of Belgium. After these terms were laid before the court another recess was taken In order that the princess might be tele graphed for her consent to the arrangement. Later in the day the lawyers for the princess attacked the competence of the court to decide the case at all. The court Ihen adjourned to Oct.

30 in order to study the question of its competence, to get au answer from Princess Louise and to settle the applicability of the Austrian law to Prince Philip's agreement that the court avoid raising the question as to which party is guilty. Debts Amounted to $744,812. The prince's "bill of complaint, be sides alleging the princess' misconduct with Lieutenant Keglevitch Mattachich, says that, although the princess receiv ed a yearly allowance, she contracted debts which in amounted to $744, 812, of which the prince had paid $218,000, and that in her wardrobe were found 75 pairs of silk shoes, 10 pairs of other shoes, 00 parasols and about 100 hats. Princess Louise is the oldest daugh ter of the king of the Belgians. In 1807 she eloped with Lieutenant Keglevitch Mattachich.

Her subsequent con finement in a sanitarium and escape from her attendants caused sensations. A medical commission in Paris in May last declared the princess to be sane, and two days later it was announced that Prince Philip had decided to begin proceedings for a divorce, which. should he win, would relieve him of paying the princess the allowance of $15,000 yearly upon which she had been living in Paris.

DRIFTED FIVE DAYS. Thsir Schooner Turned Turtle on tli3 Ocean. Boston. Oct. 17.

A typical north Atlantic shipwreck tale, in which eight seamen suffered so fearfully from exposure, hunger anil thirst that six of tbm either died outright, were washed away or, craKed by their fearful experience, hurled themselves into the sea, was brought out by the two survivors of the coasting schooner Van Name and King of New Haven, which was beaten to pieces by a gale off the South Carolina coast on Oct. 6. The two men who lived through the five days and were rescued by the schooner Stillman F. Kelly, which arrived here last evening, William Thomas and William G. Warner, both about twenty nine years old, six feet three inches tall and hnil from Antigua, British AVest Indies.

The six who. one by one, succumbed were: Captain William A. Maxwell of New Jersey. Mate B. A.

Chase, home unknown; a German engineer, home unknown; colored servant, name unknown; William Grizcll and Alfred Arthur, colored seamen, both of Jamaica. The Van Name and King, which has been plying up and down the coast since IKSti, left Charleston. S. for New York on Oct. 3 with a carga of hard pine.

Two days later, on Thursday, Oct. 5, she ran into a heavy gale and after wallowing about in the great seas for several hours sprang a leak. The pumps were started, but within a short time the engine room was flooded and the pumps choked. Schooner Turned Over. At 8 o'clock on the morning of Friday, Oct.

with her hold nearly full of water, the little schooner was hove down on her beam ends. The crew clambered up on the weather side and lashed themselves to the bulwarks. There they remained, soaked to the skin by every sea that broke mercilessly over them all day Friday, constantly on the watch for some passing vessel. That night the storm increased In fury and one great wave crashed aboard, breaking both legs of Seaman Arthur and sweeping Grizell into the sea. Arthur's companions could do noth ing to ease his Bufferings, but when on Saturday the schooner turned com pletely over they managed to cut his lashings and drag him on to a piece of the afterhouse.

It was several hours before they were all huddled together on their little raft. That night Arthur died in the arms of Captain Maxwell, and to relieve the overloaded raft the body was quietly dropped into the sea. Sunday brought a ray of hope when a craft was sighted, but the gloom shut in again as she passed by without heeding the little group of arm waving seamen. That night, however, the waves subsided and a little rain fell, which was eagerly caught in a tarpaulin and brought a slight relief. It was only tetnpoj ary, and not long after Mate Chase's mind gave way entirely, and the was again lightened when he threw himself into the sea.

Became Violently Insane. The next victim of the terrific strain was Captain Maxwell, who on Monday forenoon became violently insane and followed his mate's example of self destruction. The spectacle of two men voluntarily throwing themselves into the sea proved too much for the German engineer, and a few hours after Captain Maxwell's death he, too, jumped into the waves and sank. The colored steward died on the raft late Monday night. His body was dropped overboard by the two remaining seamen.

Relief came twelve hours later, when the schooner Stillman I Kelly, bound up the coast from Ceiion, to this port, sighted the little raft and hove to alongside. Thomas and Warner had to he taken off in slings and for two days were unable to move. The rescue took place off Cape Lookout in latitude 33.10 and longitude 70.30. When the Kelly arrived here the seamen were still too exhausted to land. They will come ashore in a day or two and will probably be sent.

home. Each of them lost thirty or forty pounds in weight during the five days' exposure. Mrs. Wilson Fully Recovered. Bridgeport, Oct.
