Thomas Hughes. a miner some fifty or sixty
years of age, was killed by a falling rock near
Center Station, Lawrence County.
We hope these boys who go West will no. all
'grow up with the country" We would like
to see some of them back again.
A number of miners are ready to go West, but
waiting to see if digging will not be revived
here under some reasonable arrangement.
We do not believe that coal mining is yet a
dead business in this county. There is yet hope
that miners and operators will find a way 10
STEM the tide OF competition, and hold place
in the market.
The Miners State Convention on last Friday
al Columbus, declared for a reduction of ten
cents tn mining, all over the State. This
would make the price in the Hooking Valley
sixty cents, and Jackson County sixty-f1ve cents
for Well>ton and Jackson, and seventy cents
tor Coalton.
We have heard that a coal miner who for
merry worked in the Colorado coal mines car
show statements of his earnings, at the rate of
more Than one hundred dollars a month. The
coal there is easy digging as the Jackson coal
but is more brittle, and there is more waste.

distinct consciousness of having spent a
pleasant day.

Many inquiries have been made relative
to the case of William johnson, who shot
and killed Bob Maxwell, and there are
doubtless many people who differ from
the jury as to the guilt of the accused.
But there were some points IN the case
that told strongly against johnson. Of
course his previous record was not against
him, as in the cutting scrape for which
he was imprisoned, he was forced into the
fight. Judge Tripp, in passing sentence
on johnson for mauslaughter, stated the
points that told against the accused, brief
ly and plainly, saying that up to the time
when johnson saw the officers chasing
Maxwell down the alley, he, Johnson, had
acted the part of good citizen. He did
right to arm himself and go after an Off
Ger, but in his running down the alley
with loaded gun he showed All undue
anxiety to be present at the arrest, and
perhaps take part in it. Maxwell had
not commits ted felony, and citizen could
= not arrest him without warrant. Again,
his firing both barrels of his gun at Max
well, showed that he did not want to stop
him, merely, but to kill him. The Court
took the ground that while it WIS unfor-
tunate that u man be sent to eternity un-
prepared, it was not perhaps loss to the
community that the deceased was out of
the way. He therefore gave johnson
one-halt the penalty-ten years,

SAM STEALS A RIDE!
And Gurrell Goes to Greet Geer !
ONE MORE VICTIM

When we spoke some two or three
weeks ago of Daniel Geer's horrible ex-
perience while drunk, which resulted in
his death, we thought it might possibly
serve as an effective warning to drunk
ards, for few days, at least. But the pro-
cession from the doggery to the grave
must keep moving. and on last Saturday
Samuel Gurrell, of Hamden, who had
been around Jackson good part of the
dav, concluded to steal ride home on the
accommodation. At this place he was
seen to get on the platform between two
box cars, by Station Agent Clark, and
was ordered off, promising the Agent
that he would get off.
Supposing that he had gotten Off, the
Agent paid no further attention to HIM,
and the train went on its way. The next
that was known of Gurrell, he was found
at the Rice Crossing. few miles above
town, on Saturday night. with his head
badly battered, and his neck broken He
had evidently been thrown from his po-
sition between the cars by the motion of
the train, and was not killed by being
struck with the cars, but by striking the
ground.
The deceased had family living in
Hamden He was soldier in Capt. Chur-
ehills Company of the 27th Ohio Regi-
ment, during the war. He made the sratp-

is the cause of his trying to steal his wav

There seems to be natural affinity be-
tween afflicted men and railroads. A
blind man, deaf man, or drunk man,
is in his glory when he can get on the
railroad. A few days ago man almost
totally blind had to be ordered off the
track at this place, in front of some cars
that were making running switch. And
this man Gurrell could not have found
more dangerous place to ride than where
he located. So they gol
