New-York tribune., 1873-06-12
TIE POLLCK JUSTICES.

The Board of Aldermen is to meet to-day,
and it is to be presumed that the confirmation
of the two Police Justices who have been
nominated by the Mayor will be the principal
business in order. Doubtless other nomina-
tions will also be submitted.
Mayor Havemeyer says in his communica-
ton published yesterday that ait is scarcely
"too much to say that the Police Justices were
"the keystone to the corrupt political struc-
"ture which preceded our government, and in
"that particular the people expect radical
"and permanent change" Nothing which
Mayor Havemeyer has said relative to the
municipal administration is truer than what
he here utters. But it depends less upon his
subOrdinates than upon himself to secure this
reform, and he must go to work by making
appointments, in every sense unexceptionable,
for the important positions Of Police Justices.
Of Mr.. Ackert, one Of his appointees, we
have already spoken, and spoken favorably.
At the same time illusions were made to Mr..
S. T. Streeter, the other nominee Of the Mayor,
and the investigation of the intimations
against him have been made, we believe, by
the Aldermen, and certainly by THE TRIBUNE,
with the following result: In May last Mr.
Sreeter appeared as counsel for man named
Reed, arrested on the complaint of one Pan
dolfni, and held to bail in $1,000. He called
upon friend named Perrin for assistance,
but as Perrin was nonresident he could not
become bail. He was induced by Mr.. Streeter,
however, to deposit in the hands of Mr..
Jarvis $4,000 as personal security for the
appearance of his client for trial. At the
time of the deposit Of this money, Mr..
Jarvis gave q receipt, which we under
stand to have been examined and ap-
proved by Mr. Streeter, which stated distinctly
that the amount was deposited as personal
security for Mr. Jarvis. Nevertheless ten days
later Mr.. Streeter was induced by the opposing
counsel, Mr. Roscoe Ii. Claiming, to make
affidavit that this sum of money was
deposited in lieu of bail, and on this anl-
davit, and on this only, Mr.. Claiming
went into court and applied for an order com
peling the Sheriff to pay this money into
court, where the plaintiff could have attached
it. The Sheriff, in the interests of Perrin,
Opposed the motion. and il was denied. There

THE SHAMoKLE CoLLIERY EXPLOSION

THE SHAMOKLE COLLIERY EXPLOSION
BY the late explosion in the Henry Clay
Colliery, at ShamOkin, Pennsylvania, at least
ten men were killed The escape of the re-
mainder of the workmen will probably be recl-
oned by those fortunate men as their gain in the
chances which they always take in the pursuit
of their hazardous calling. The habit OF daily
facing danger makes men disregard ordinary
precautions. Even the most foOlhardy miner
would not go into a mine of which he
knows nothing with lighted candle
stuck in his hat; he would take all
the usual preventive measures, use a
safety lamp ; and, no matter how bad the state
of the mne he would come back alive and
unharmed. 1t appears that the Henry Clay
mine was always considered to be absolutely
free from danger; it was the practice of work.
men therein to use only an unprotected light.
One of the fOremen, who should have known
better, went into an unfrequented part Of the
work with candle; as was very natural, he
encountered an accumulation Of fire-damp,
which instantly exploded. There is nothing
remarkable about the matter, except that the
accident had not happened before.
A mine is place-which cannot be depended
upon, to use common phrase; it may be
perfectly safe and free Of fre-damp to-day /;
tomorrow it may be in a most dangerous
condition. During a long period of time, it
appears, this mine was not known to contain
any fre-damp; the men had probably come to
consider it useless precaution TO carry
safety lamps; and in this laxity of discipline
the cause of this and other explosions is
found. No man should be permitted to go
into mine with an exposed flame; and any
infringement of the rule should be visited
with the heaviest penalties. The miners dislike
the safety-lamp; it is to them nuisance and
bother. They would sooner risk any danger
than carry the lamp, which cannot be stuck
in the hat as q candle may be; moreover,
they know that on many occasions it Is an
unnecessary precaution. Nevertheless, the
safety of the men demands the rigid enforce
ment of this rule. Were the discipline of the
works kept up, even in the face Of what
seems to be absolute freedom from danger
these explosions, so sad in their terrifying
results, would be most exceptional occurrences.
The lack of common prudence, to say the
least, has suddenly cut short the lives of ten
stalwart men, carried mourning and dismay
into many families and given new terrOrs to
a vocation which might be made almost abso-
lutely safe.
