many tirst-class physicians without relief.
The last doctor visited recommended

ANOTHER ELEMENT-Said TO be
One Of Danger.-Reports Of the in
vsntion of coal-digging machine by
Pittsburg man are circulating in
the papers. It weighs about 600
pounds and is worked by compressed
air, and it is claimed that four blades
at equal distances apart, which serve
as crowbars or picks, can be driven
simultan eously six feet into q vein Of
coal, and that many tons will be dis
placed at each motion. The machine,
as claimed, can be operated in any
position required in the mine, and
that it will do the work Of thirty
miners, and can be furnished at cost
Of about $3.50 per machine. Two
other coal mining machines are
known to operators, but neither of
them have near the same labor-ssving
capacity that il claimed for this one.
Another is reported as working four
picks, driven by a four-horss power
engine, weighs $50 pounds, cost $3.50,
and will do the work of twenty-four
men.
Placed slongsids of statements con-
csrning numerous openings of new
soft coal regions, it would seem that
miners generally and this region spec
tally will each have poor show here
after.
But before considering the alterna-
tive of taking chances here or going
west to buy farm, it is very likely
that no coal-cutting machine can ever
be used in this region. The loose
character of the strata everything the
big vein forbids the idea.
We hear many complaints of the quail
ity of the bituminous coal that Is and has
been sold at such ruinously low prices.
Perhaps 1t is good enough for the price,
but il also hurts the reputation ofthe coal
Coal Trade Journal.
When it is considered that skillful
miners can no longer make living at
digging coal the low quality of the
product is not to be msrvelsd at. The
shibboleth Of "oheap labor" by food
ing the mines with novices, has we'll
nigh destroyed the value Of skill and
experience, Every business, no mat
ter how simple apparently has its
tactical and artistic points-a "sleight
Of hand, SO to speak, gained after
long apprenticeship of practice. To
this proficiency the competition of
cheap labor-cheap because inexpe-
risncsd-is certain death. And the
good quality of the product naturally
goes into the same grave.

TEE Baltimore and Ohio company
will, about the middle cf July or a
little later, open up the Pittsburgh
Southern road for business. This
road extends from Washington, Pa,
to the mouth of Streets Run, six
miles above Pittsburgh, on the Mon
ongahela, where it will cross for the
present by a steam ferry involving
not FIVE minutes delay. Opposite
Streets Run the Southern road joins
the Connellsville division and runs
into Pittsburgh. The opening of
this route will give the Baltimore and
Ohio a short line from Pittsburgh to
Cincinnati, and also give Wheeling a
near route to the coal fields of the
Youghiogheny valley, boon longed
for for twenty years by the Wheeling
iron manufacturers.

IT should be remembered that a
drawback of rs cents per ton is now
allowed on bituminous coal imported
into the United States, which is after
wards used for fuel on board of
steamers which are engaged in the
coasting trade of the United States
or in the trade with foreign countries.
1t remains to be seen how far this will
affect our local producers. How
would it do for the railway companies
to allow rebate of rs cents per ton,
from their tolls, on all coal used in
this particular trade, if it should be
found to be in danger Goal Trade
