This is not the first case of suflocatlon from

naturally arises, why j, it not remcdied ?''
1t is true that our mines are the hest ventIlat-
ed in the country when such accidents are
possible?
No-not the first, perhaps not the
last-unlesS We can get law passed
prohibiting cars from derailng.
The Legislature Is, therefore, clear
ly to blame for the accident. If that
body would quit fooling with other
business the Koontz mine would
have cars that wont derail, IL loco

would be fitted up for most anything

operating in this region proclaimed
and paid Il voluntary advance Of
mining wages which amounted to an
addition to the income of this region

LOCAL HAPPENINGS.

4 Sensible S"ggestion.-W Writing to
the Cumberland Times Hon. B. L.
Turner, of FliCtstone. says:
The Western Maryland can have much
shorter route to Cumberland than ria the
canal. From Hagerstown to Hancock a
feasible and shorter line can be constructed
than the canal route, and from Hancock to
Cumberland a practicable route can be found
by following substantially the old Baltimore
pike. The grade will not be heavy and two
Snort tunnels are all that need be constructed
From Hancock to Cumberland the canal is
sixty miles; ria inland route, thirty-nine
mi'eS-a saving of twenty-one miles between
these two points, and while the present cost
OF construction would he somewhat greater, in
the end the saving and quicker transit won
more than compensate it.
Let the State adopt a wise and liberal policy
toward the canal, and foster ii as it has done
and especially as Baltimore city has done
other public enterprises, and the result will be
beneficial to the whole State. Because ALE
gany happens to be the Alaska" of MARYLAND
don't try to freeze lis out. 1t is the gateway
through which pours ALI immense trade and
traffic into Baltimore, and which concerns
the whole State. The State at large SHOULD
be interested in it. We pay our share to the
support Of the "oyster navy" and do not
murmur, even though we never hear the
sound OF its cannonading. Give the old ditch
a chanCe-a fair chance, an even chance.
Instead, therefore, of the Elk Garden
region moving heaven and earth to
get something for nothing, let it go to
work and baiH its outlet to Williams
port. There will then be some com
pensation to this county for the damage
inflicted upon its coal trade. Mean
while, the cana. remaining with us, We
can still maintain it as a check upon
high rates of coal freight rM all rail-
way outlets.

only become So as the knights OF
Labor choose to inject their nose and
lip into company affairs.
The Legislature may pass all the
laws it pleases IL; the idlotic behest of
an ignorant secret order, but il cannot
compel the owner Of m nes to work
their properly against either their IN

on that subject, or amy other subject,
