THE PITTsToN MINE DIsAsTER.-A
coroner's inquest was held on Monday in
the case of the miners suffooated in the
Pittston shaft. The examination showed
that there were fully fifty persons in the
mine at the time of the disaster, nearly
three times the number which the law
allows. A disgracefal dispute arose be-
tween the mine inspector, t. o. NJ. Will
liams. and the coroner, the former claim
ing the right TO examine the witnesses
The coroner at length ordered Williams
to leave the room, when be announced
his intention to hold separate il quest
Three facts are disclosed by the investi-
cation: First, the inspector, although
confident that all was right, should have
found the exact number OF men in the
mines; second, the operators, Blake &
Co., are guilty of f'grant violation of
the ventilation laws; third, the miners
knowing that forty or fifty men worked
in the shaft, made no complaint, and &C
tually oountenanced the wrong.
Two more of the rescued miners have
died, and but fur of those taken out
alive have regsined their senses. The
pbysicians state that tie rescued men are
slowly dying from the effects Of the
noxious gases inhaled. Great prepare.
tions are making for the funerals of the
dead.

The DELAWARE d HUDSON CANAL
CoMPANY.-The Springfield Republican
says: The Delaware and Hudson rail.
road company is getting to be one of the
great monopolists of the country, both Of
coal and its transportation. 1t has large
coal mines and canal and railroad lines
in Pennsylvania. Last year it leosed the
Albany and Susquehanna railroad

base with Albany and the Hudson river
Now it has added the Rensselaer, end
Saratoga railroad, and its neiahboring
and northern extensions, to Troy and
Bsllston, and Lake Champlain and Rut.
land, Vt. The special object of this alli-
ance is to give to the Delaware and Hud-
son company the monopoly of the Lake
Champlain and Vermont markets for
coal, and also the monopoly in Pennsyl.
vania of the Lake Champlain iron ore,
which is valuable addition to the iron
ores of Pennsylvania. The whole length
of the roads thus newly leased, is 1S1
miles, and the Delaware and Hudson
company pays 8 per cent on capital OF
$4,000, 900, and interest on the debts of
the roads, amounting to $20S,Sl6 more
annually.

Latest Dairy Markets.

CHEESE -There;was a good repres snta.
ton of both buyers aud sellers, during the
last week at Utica, and some twenty-five
hundred boxes of cheese were sent for.
ward Several loads of farm dairy were
disposed of early in'the morning, at mod.
crate figures Factory sold at IL to 12fc
| and considerable was sent on commission,
some on a guaratee of 10 to 10 1-2c. On
the whole, the opening market day was
very encouraging. The meeting of fac
tory men and buyers, under the auspices
of the National Dairymen's Club, was
harmonious but earnest. The result of
| their deliberations will be found else
where. Sufficient funds have been raised
to make the hiring of a room for the tran
sactions Of the Board of Trade safe, and
| the procuring of suitable one is in the
hands of committee. The selection will
be announced, probably tefore the next
meeting on Monday week.
From Little Falls we learn that the
market was as dull as heretofore, and the
amount of cheese offered was about the
same. Sales at 1912 lie were reported
when our informant left and it was
thought - 3 &c mi ght be reached
There is no improvement in the tone of
the market, nor in prices. There appears,
however, to be a fair demand in New
York, and the shipments are heavy. Bnt
the cable quotes at 65s., and we are in
formed that late on Saturday it was down
to 64s., while private advices indicated
o5s. 1t must be born in mind, however,
that little if any really fine American
cheese has gone to England for some time.
A comparison of the price of American
cheese with that of English in London
shows the American to be full 12s., below
the poorest English brands. his Of itself
is pretty conclusive evidence that real
ly fine article would command a good
price in the English market.
A few sales of new cheese wereimade in
New York, during the week, at 14c., but
the general quotation is 13 IA, a 13 3.4c.
with gold at Ill "a. The receipts for
the week ending Saturday, were 5000
boxes, and :the shipments 1921 boxes.
Last year, for the corresponding week,
the receipts were 1872 boxes, and the
shipments 1866 boxes. The cable was
then 72s., the highest quotation was Ice,
and gold was ia 12.
BUTTER-There is no improvement in
the butter market. We can not quote
higher than Csc. for the best. Orange
county is selling in New York at 20 and
28c., and really fine State commands the
same figures.
The Producers Price Current, of the
9th, says; The demand for new cheese
for export has improved. The shippers
have not taken very long lines but they
have been willing to forward in modera-
ton at from 13 12c, as the top for very
prime, downward. The cable is Cos. We
have had a good home demand for new
cheese, and in a jobbing way lac has been
reached for very fine. We are in hopes
to have a good shipping inquiry next
week at present figures, but the course of
the shippers is uncertain. Bacon contin-
nes low in England tending downward.

The Recent virginia Election.

We suppose the Democratic journals
will make great boasts over the recent
municipal elections in Virginia, because
they have gone Democratic. The reasons
are easily explained, In places where
the Republicans have an apparent major
ity, affairs have been so managed as to
nulify that majority. For instance, in a
city having Republican majority, the
election is taken away from the people and
placed with the Aldermen of that city.
To secure a majority of the Aldermen the
Democratic Legislature authorizes re.
distributing of the city, so that the bulk OF
Republicans are hnddled together in a
minority number Of the wards. In this
way several cities have been seized by
the Democrats, and the country is made
to believe that the Republicans are losing
ground. Republicans in Virginia can
afford to wait for Democratic misrule will
ere long be at AN end and meet with
utter defeat

Conductors RESPONSIBILITY. - A
Maine judge has recently laid down the
law in regard to the obligations of com.
mon carriers. The suit was brought
against the railroad company, by pas.
senger, who, on being asked by the con-
duotor for his ticket, which had been pre-.
viously demanded and given up, was, in
consequence of the short memory of that
official, greeted by him with the most
violent language, and with threat of
splitting his head open, accompanied by
the shaking of fist in close proximity to
MS face. There was no physical assault,
but such an attack the law regards as
technical assault, and as it was proved
that the employers of the conductor on
being informed of the tact did not dis
charge the man, but still kept him in his
position, the court instructed the iurv
that the case was one of exemplary dam.
ages. The jury accordingly returned a
verdict for $500, which the appellate
courts, sustaining the decision of the first
Judge, refused to set aside.

dusty all along the route, until we
reached Illinois, where an abundance Of
rain had fallen, and vegetation appeared
rank and green. The dry weather has not

haywood is not quite two years old,

town is beautifully located upon large,
well drained, fertile prairie, with the Des

streets are wide and straight, and the
town is well supplied with large parks,

the first and only merchant in town.
Robert Barney and his father Deacon
Barney, are also here. There are also
several other Vermont men here from
other parts of the State, and all are very
much pleased with the town and their
prospects. C.l. Nichols, who is the pro-
