Pennsylvania Coal Miners Going to the

PITTsBURG, Oct. 25.-The coal trades
tribunal, appointed to fix the mining rate
in the railroad mines for the winter
months, has not yet arrived at an agree
ment. The operators committee insists
upon a reduction, and the miners demand
their old wages. Both sides are disgusted,
and disruption of the tribunal is not inn
probable. Last night % miners were sent
from this city to the Hooking valley, and

This makes total of l 200 men who have

Shotgun Rules.

For the benefit of those who are too
apt to supply the dailies with ''acciden-
tai shooting" We have compiled a few
simple rules, says the San Francisco
Ne'os- Letter, which more experienced
sportsmen have long since recognized
as essential to safety, the etiquette of
the field, and an appreciable amount
of comfort while hunting with others.
First--Never in jest or through
carelessness point the muzzle Of your
gun IN direction OF another person. So
called unloaded guns have caused
countless deaths and maimings by a
disregard of this primary law, while
carelessness in going through brush
without a due regarded as to which
way the gun is pointing has put a sud
den and sad end to many days
sport.
Second-Never carry q gun with
the hammers down. a twig touching
hammer thus carried lifts it, and
when released from the strain of the
obstruction down goes the hammer
and off goes the gun. The rebounding
locks have done much To obyiaie this
danger, aud all VINO can get guns with
such locks should use them. With
other locks the half-cock is made and
intended for safety in carriage when
crossing the fences, going over ground
that is dangerous of foothold, aud gen
orally when gun is not apt to be re.
quired for immediate use.
Third-The man who draws load
ed gun out of a wagon, or through a
fence, with the barrels pointed toward
him, is careless lunatic who takes his
life in his own hands, and though it
sounds harsh, deserves to be shot be-
fore his gross neglect of safety hurts
somebody else.
Fourth-Always take the cartridges
ont of your gun before entering a
house or leaning your gun against a
yeranda The guu may fall or children
may get hold Of it. If you use a muz-
zelloader either discharge it or remove
the caps
In submitting these simple rules to
the shooting public we feel assur, that
all sportsmen will appreciate our Oh
ject, which is simply to inslill into the
minds OF our pu,ative shots thai a gun,
although source of infinite sport and
healloinl recreation, il a thing that
should not be fooled with.

Care of Live Stock.

II the farmer would have his live
stock come out in the spring in thrift
ty condition he must not neglect the
''little things relating to their care as
well as the more essential matters.
Among other things the stock large
and small should have easy and conve.
nient access to a supply of good water.
1t will not do to turn them out of their
stables during the day to wonder about
at Will to and a watering place unless
some provision of that kind has al
ready been made for them. They
should have pure water, if possible,
and a supply of it sufficient for the
needs of all. The water obtained from
stagnant pools in the barnyard or other
chance places is not fit for any kind of
stocks
ID scrimination is required in the
matter Of allowing sheep and cattle
ou door freedom during cod weather.
The length of time they should be per-
m'tted to run at large each day must
be determined by the present condition
OF the weather, the location of the sta
bic and yards and in considerable
degree by the condition of the stock it.
self. Whe.e the barnyard faces the
sonth, or sunny days the stock are bet
ter out OF doors as much as possible.
In cold, stormy davs they need the
best shelter obtainable. Some breeds
of cattle and sheep are constituted to en-
dure cold and exposure better than
others, and the same is true of individ-
ual members of the herd or flock. This
is matter to be determined by obser-
walton and experience. Most breeds of
sheep will, of course, endure cold bet
ter and need more outdoor freedom
than cattle.
The stables and enclosures should be
kept clean and dry. 1t is too much to
expect that stock will keep in good
heart and thrifty growth where they
are compelled to spend nights and
days together in the midst of the filth
OF stable. 1t is unnatural aud there
fore wrong. Cleanly and wholesome
surroundings are quite as needful to
the health and comfort of animals as
human beings. 1t is often the case that
cattle have too much bedding as too
little. If the stable itself is warm and
the floor kept dry and clean the stock |
will do better than if they stand up to
their sides in mass of dirty bedding. |
The bedding that is used should be |
changed frequently. Keep the stable
windows closed against cold drafts
and by all means have the ceiling over
the stable as tight as possible to pre-
vent the dust and chaff from sitting
down on the animals beneath.

Wood ashes are exceedingly valuable

Old raspberry canes, past bearing,

To avoid potato scab, select seed free

Unless potatoes are thoroughly ripe
1t is not safe to handle them much un-
til cool weather comes. If put in pits
they should be only lightly covered
and well ventilated.
Fruit trees, especially apple, should
have pile of earth around their trunks
before winter sets in and all rubbish
for some distance removed and burned.
This will prevent mice from working

In the vicinity of cities, especially
where large brewelies exist, brewers
grains are extensively used as feed for
milch cows. They make a large guam

chiefly fed by those who sell milk in
cities. Farmers who rely on cream and
butter for their profits cannot afford to
feed brewers grains.

An Important Decision.

In the United States supreme court
a decision was rendered in the case ot
the Chicago Milwaukee IL St. Pau
railway company, plaintiff in error
against Duane @. Ross. This was a
suit brought by the engineer of a gra.
vel train against the company to re.
cover damages for injuries received by
hun in a collision with freight train,
due to the carelessnpss of the conduc-
tor of the latter. The court below
charged the jury that if in their opin-
ION the accident was caused by the
negligence Of the conductor of the
freight train, and without contrbutory
negligence on the part Of the plaintiff,
the railway company was liable, be-
cause the relation of superior and in
terior was created by the company as
between the two in the operation of
Its tram, and they were not within the
reason of the law felow-scrvants en-.
gagged IN the same common employ
ment. This court holds that the charge
was correct 1t has. it is true. been
held IN numerous cases, both in this
country and in England, that in the
railway employees contract of service
there is an implied agreement on his
part to take upon himself the risks aris-
ing from the negligence of his fellow
servants while in the same employment.
The conductor and engineer, through
both employees of the company, were
teliow-servants il the sense in which
That term is used in the decisions. The
former was the representative of the
company, standing in its place and
stead III the running Of its train, aud
the latter was, IN that particular, his
subordinate. For the formers negli.
gence, by which the latter was injured,
the company wa, therefore responsible.
