Needing the Farmer.

There is no other industrial pursuit thar
agriculture which is so burdened with al
legged improvements for which patents have
been secured. The farmers soul is seized
with claims of royalties from an endless
variety of people who demand money fol-
devices for which patents have been Sc
cured unjustly. Fences, wells, churns
gates, harrows, clevices and great variety
OF simple tools and devices which are used
by farmers and even methods of pruning
laying down trees and vines for Winter
protection, and now an old method OF
making drains, have been patented and the
use of them is denied to the public. The
worst of it is that the majority of the
claimants are farmers themselves, and dc
their best to tax their brother farmers with.
out any adequate return being made, and
moreover it causes and encourages litiga.
ton and wastes hardened money This is
matter which needs reforming, and farm
ers should combine to insist upon deliv.
erance from this irritating and costly
nuisance .-Er.

RDwARD BAYLIss, OF NASTIcoKE, FATALLY
SHOOTS HIS ACCUSED WIFE.

For several weeks past Nanticokc has
been anticipating sensational developments
from the alleged criminal intimacy of
Charlotte Bayliss, pretty married woman,
with John p. Puckey, well.known citizen
until recently the time-keepei of the sus-
quehanna Coal Co. Thursday morning
the sensation came in the fatal shooting of
the woman by her husband, Edward Bay
liss, miner.
The crime, committed at Bayliss' home
about 2 o'clock, was described by the wo-
man while conscious Thursday morning.
In substance it is that she had placed her
four children in bed at an early hour, and
shortly after retired herself, followed soon
by her husband, who had been Of more
pleasant mood than for several evenings
| past. Both soon passed into sleep, from
which she was awakened by her husband
about 1:30 o'clock. lie began to question
her about her relations with Puckey, who
| on Monday of last week was bound over
before Wikcs-Barre magistrate to an
| swer the charge of adultery at the instance
| Of the injured husband. He coaxed and
urged and threatened but she absolutely
| refused to state anything, saying she
| would prefer having her throat cut from
ear to ear than to open her mouth on the
| matter.
The husband then said he would kill hei
| If she did not answer, and she, becoming
| alarmed, got out of bed to escape from the
room. AS she did so Bayliss reached out
of bed, and grasping ready revolver fired
at her. the shot striking her right cheek
and glancing off through the forehead
She rushed for the stairway. The second
shot was fired, striking her in the left side
OF the back and lodging above, close to the
heart, producing a fatal wound. The ball
was extracted. 1t was of thirty two calibre
| The wounded woman ran out of the house
to nciGhbol's, and, with the cry of "Mur
der" sank helpless on the porch, clothed
only in her nightdress. The murderous
husband followed in his underclothes and
then disappeared. Presently, however, he
returned TO the Eouse and gave himself up
to an officer. He had while absent thrown
away the revolver He admitted the shoot
ing, and in no wav seemed to regret it,
He is how lodged in prison at Wilkes
Barre.

Nnnticoke Mine Disa ster.
A STATE BIOLOGISTS INVESTIGATION INTO THE
ACCIDENT ny WHICH SEVERAL MEN
Persisted.

HARRISBURG, July 3.-Governor Pattison
has received from Charles A. Ashburner,
geologist in charge at Philadelphia, let
ter in response to one from q. M. Williams
from Wilkes Barre, Mine Inspector Of the
Middle district, regarding the petition of
certain miners and their wives at Nanticokc,
entreating the Governor to appoint Com
mission to investigate the disaster at that
place.
Mr.. Ashburner says he made careful in
vestigation some time ago Of the causes
which led to the Nanticoke disaster, and
that report thereon will be published in
the annual report of the progress of Geo.
logical Survey now in the hands of the
State Printer. The following extracts from
his report, embodying the geologists
views on the subject, are glven:-"A re-
view of all the facts bearing upon the care
with which mining in the vicinity of the
Nanticoke cavern has been prosecuted by
the Susquehanna Coal Co., conclusively
proves that the accident was unavoidable,
aud could never have been anticipated by
any measures which the company could
have with reason adopted. This company
has been untring in adopting every means
to rescue the imprisoned miners, and, as
far as am informed from public records
and from my personal knowledge of other
mining accidents, no company in the an
thracte region has exercised care in pre-
venting accidents which might involve the
lives of the miners and has been more
prompt and generous in all is effoits to
relieve the unfortunate, than the Susque.
hanna Coal Company. l have mode this
statement after n thorough investigation of
the circumstances attending the accident,
since in some of the published accounts at
the time the accident took place it was
charged to Ignorance on the part of the
management of the Company as to the
proper support to give the rocks and the
coal culm on the top of the surface over
lying the coal bed" Mr.. Ashburner de-
scrbes the measures that were taken i'm
mediately after the accident to relieve the
imprisoned miners, and continuing says
Il am thoroughly convinced that the
same force which, within an hour brought
material from the 'cave.in' out to the moutl
of the tunnel opening into slope No. ., car
ried similar material within much short
er time to rooms south and west of the
cave-in in which the imprisoned miner.
were supposed to have been at the time th,
accident took place, and believe that al
the men there entrapped were doubtless
dead inside of an hour. Its unnecessary tc
review in this place the facts and circum
stances connected with the accident which
led me to this conclusion" In conclusion
Mr. Ashburner says 81 consider it the
height of folly to suppose for moment
that any of the imprisoned miners are now
living, as set forth in the petition, and
aside from the very great expense which
would be involved in any effort to dislntei
the bodies of the miners l consider thai
such an undertaking would be very hazar
dors and the lives of any relief parties
would he unnecessarily and unwarrantedly
imperiled"
