LONDON, Jan. "A general strike is now in
progress in the coal-mining districts of Wales.
Ii IS estimated that e, 900 men are on the strike.
In many Of the mines work has been entirely sus-
pended. and n general stOpTage of operations is
feared in the districts. Coal is at famine prices,
and the effect is being felt disastrously through
out the country. The strikers demand an increase
of wages, which has been refused by the ~proprie-

their interests.

THE wEsTFIELD DISASTER.

Suits OF Claimants for Damages Argued
in tho Court OF experimentation OF
the Sunday Law Set Up as . Bar to
Damages. s.
The public have not yet forgotten that fatal Sun
day. July 80 1871, when the boiler of the steamboat
westeld, Of the Staten Island ferry line, exploded
and killed some sixty persons outright, besides in
juring large numbers. As usual In such cases there
came the C0roner's inquest and then mHltitudtn0us
suits against the ferry company to recover
damages on account OF deaths and injuries. Among
the suitors were Margaret Landers Jane Madden
and Rosa Kelly, who sought Indemnity for the kill
Ing OF their husbands, and Francis E. Carroll, who
sued to recover damages for injuries to himself
These suits have been struggling along In the
Courts ever since, and finally went to the Court OF
Appeals, having been carried there by the ferry
. The case came up for argument yesterday. Chief
Justice Sanford Il. Church and his associate JUS
tices on the bench. On behalf OF the Ferry Com
pany 1t was claimed that the deceased and injured
parties were travelling for pleasure on Sunday In
for deaths or injuries sustained while thus travel
ling In violation OF the law, no damages could be
recovered. 1t was further insisted that the city
Court OF Brooklyn, where the cases were tried,
being local Court. was without jurisdiction.
Another point was that in none of the cases was
there any proof OF negligence on the part Of the
error In allowing the TACT OF the defendants per-
hitting the steam pressure to exceed the govern
ment limit to go as evidence OF negligence to the
regards the violation OF the Sunday law, the CON-
pany could not set up its own wrong as an element
OF Defense and that as to the question Of negligence
that 1t was properly submitted to the jury and
passed upon by them. 4 .9NlI
