CoLLIERY ACCIDENT.

| SleDaDuOdn, Id', Sept AO'- lGottIuhy lnOLnlhb
an accident occurred at the William Penn colliery
near this place, by which an orphan boy, about
fourteen years old, named John Rice, who was
working in the breaker, lost his life Two OF his
companions escaped the same fate through what
may be called miracle. Several OF the boys, it
appears, were amusing themselves by sliding
down the Telegraph" which conveys the coal
fIOm the large screen into the shoot and precipi-
tating themselves into the coal below q distance
of several feet from the end Of the telegraph, at
the men under the breaker engaged in drawing
coal from the shoot into the cars.
COVERED WITH COAL,
The boys slid down several times in rapid sue
cession without injury To themselves but atlength
when they were piledup in heap, the coal above
rushed down and covered them completely. The
other boys, who saw them disappear in the COAL
gave the alarm and men ran to their assistance
The boys could be heard calling for help but II
was difficult to render assistance. The drawing
of the coal from the shoot into the cars below con
tinued In the meantime and 1t was soon decided
that the best way to rescue the lads was 10 run
the coal out until the boys would come to the gate
below II this could have been done rapidly the
lives Of all the boys might have been saved, but
small screen through which the coal had to pass
after leaving the shoot had TO be torn out before
the cries of the boys In the shoot subsidized and it
assupposed they were all smothered When the
screen was displaced and the coal again started
to run from the shoot the excitement was in
tense.
BROUGHT OUT DEAD,
The gate was opened to Its full height, and the
coal allowed 10 rush out John Price was the first
to appear He came through the gate head first,
and was quickly picked up by the eager men who
stood In waiting. But he was dead, Water was
procured and poured over him, but without effect
BY this time hundreds Of people hocked to the
breaker, the women screaming al the top Of their
voices, creating terrible confusion. The coal
kept rushing into the cars, and in short time the
other two boys came out head foremost from un.
der the gate They were also quickly picked up
and found TO be alive though unconscious. Their
ears and eyes were filled with dirt. They were
finally resusctsted, aud the joy Of their parents
was so great that they tainted. An accident Of
this kind rarely occurs about coliery.

employers also should combine, and should
refuse to be the indirect agents and pro-
vide the means to support strikes waged
against their own interest.
The English people have experienced
from time to time not little trouble in
this problem of labor, and our country has
had some foretaste of similar trials. 1t is
a question which cannot be arbitrarily dis
posed of, even in a monarchical govern
ment supported by strong military power.
and in this country would be still more
difficult to manage by application Of
authoritative force. It's solution is to be
found in the character of the people, in
the general Legislation of the country in
behalf of the whole people as against class
legislation, and in unrestricted freedom OF
all legitimate business pursuits, rather
than in the doctrines Of such men as
advocate the employment of the strong
arm of the law to enforce compulsory
obedience, and the repression,of the voice Of
labor against unjust legislation and the
undue advantages of monopolies and con
| centrated money power.
