coal NINE ACCIDENTS.
Joseph d. Weeks Gives Some Interesting
statistics on the subject.


Statistics on the subject.
SARATOGA, September SIN the meet
ing OF the social Science Association, yes
terday, Joseph D. Weeks, Of Pittsburgh,
assistant editor Of the Iron Ags, read the
report Of the Committee on Casualties in
Coal Mining. 1t treated OF the statistics
Of casualties and their causes, and made
some suggestions as to remedies. In Eng.
land the inspection Of mines began in
1850, but in Pennsylvania inspections only
beysn In 1859 In the anthracite regions,
and not until 1877 In the bituminous
mines. Ohio has had State inspections
aimee 1874. From 1850 to 1870 the total
casualties In Great Britain were, 20. 451.
In Pennsylvania one man was lost ior
each $4,000 tons OF coal raised In
the anthracite region In 1861, and
in 1878 one for sos, $50, q much greater
mortality than In England, notwithstand,,
ing the greater danger oi explosions and
inundatious in the latter country. In Ohio
the figures coniessedly imperfect, give one
death to l42 263 tons OF coal raised in 1874,
aud In 1878 one death to 255,OO0 tons
raised. While some accidents are una
yoidable, there Is no doubt that q great
majority OF explosions come from the
carelessness oi miners, who will not hesi'
tate TO open q safety lamp surrounded by
Gre damp to light pipe. The peril from
the falling Of roohug and slate 10 greater,
however, than any other, being about 40
per cent Of the total; and Of these the
public hears the least, because they are 90
common. These are too often the result
of iorgetiulness, rashness or neglect. And
again, employees are more at fault thar
employers. In fact, carelessness aud neg
lect are comm among miners to o de
gree which seems scarcely possible.

Woods, the much married man, took out
another marrisge license this afternoon,
making the third in about one years time.
Woods is dasher among the ladies, and
has had three sweethearts in this city, to
two Of whom he has already been mar
ried, and from one of which he was d.
yorced a few weeks after marriage, and
the other, Miss Edwards. brought suit
on the oath OF August for $40, 900 damages.
This girl he ruined and then denied that
be ever married her, claiming that the
certificate was made out by himself, and
that the ceremony was all a hoax.
The first lady he married was Miss
semple. She obtained divorce from him
after living with him a short time. The
records show that he took out license on
August 9, 1879, to marry Miss semple;
that on August 10, 1879, ten days later, he
took out another license to marry Miss
Edwards, and on September s, 1880, took
out another license to marry Miss De-
Silvy.
All the ladies belong to good families,
but it's the old story OF too much love.
Woods Is man OF fine appearance.
