Death In the Coal Mines.

The statistics furnished by the mine in
spectors in the anthracite region are nearly
complete for last year. According to the
Scranton Republican the death record in
these statistics shows total OF 272 men
killed outright aud 622 injured by accidents
during the year. 1t 10 estimated that these
men left 220 widows and 500 or 600 orphan
children. The Republican says about one
third Of the whole number ofthe killed met
their death on account of the neglect OF
operators to make second openings to their
mines. Another third was killed by the
explosion of gases, which would have been
avertcd If the law requiring every mine to
be examined by an experienced miner with
a safety lamp before the workmen enter it
had been complied with. About one-sixth
lost their lives through mere negligence in
not paying sufficient attention to the ROOT
of the mines and otherwise. while the re.
naming one-sixty of the whole number
were killed by really unforeseen and un-
avoidable accidents.

for Mr.. Malick, the Democratic nominee
than Democrats. Yet some scurvy political
hack, who thinks lie well stuck is just as
good as the truth, telegraphed to the Harris

was manifest interest by general turn

men irrespective of party or politics. The
honest Ring Democrats, (which are all good
township suckers) did not like the people
to act contrary to their wishes, so they cir
culated the report that the delegates would
not meet until Saturday evening O'Clock in
order to delude and prevent the delegates
from the lower end being present at the nomi
