The greed of the coal corporations
was again wildly shown in the disas-
ter that occurred at Ashley last week,
whereby a large number of human
beings fell victims to the cost of coal
mining. Their rapacity for the few
cars OF coal contained in the pillars;
which is the only support left to hold
the ROOF, was, it may be said, the
cause OF this sad and untimely oc-
curence. When the work of robbing
such pillars or bodies of coal is done,
and the same all taken out there is
nothing left to support the top, and it
must necessarily fall and deface Gods
earth with large and unsightlymine
hole and renders it useless for the
time to come. While it may be said
that the loss of life in this accident
was not directly occasioned by the
cavern 1t was nevertheless through

parent that something should be done
to prevent the loss of life. tits need
less to say that the already enacted
laws relating to coal mining in this
State, and for the safety of the men
employed in such work, are not en-
forced, and they will be so until the
coal operators are brought to the
point ana made to understand that
there Is such laws and that they can
be compelled by force of law TO follow
them out. Indeed, in many instonoos
the miners would rather have tbe

cHAUNCEY DEPEW.
A Western GIRLS Funny Experience With
the Great Dinner-Talker.

Chauncey Depew tells so many good
stories on other people that there is
general rejoicing when some one man
ares TO have the laugh on him, and the
clubmen are telling each other with
much Junction the following little tale,
says the Brooklyn Eagle: 1t snot per-
haps a secret that our Chauncey is,
like Mrs. Gilpin, of frugal mind, and
is thrifty with his stories and jokes.
After the press has once gotten hold of
his good things he never uses them
again, at least in that particular COM
munity; but no man can have whole
set of brand-new brilliants every day
of his life, and little discretion and
good memory will make ones store go
a long way without being guilty OF
repetitions to the same audience. But
the discretion of even Chauncey is at
fault at times, and the other night he
suffered because of it. The daughter
of a certain famous American who has
hitherto made his home in the west has
been visiting in New York and was one
of the guests at dinner of very dis
tinguished men and women last week.

The street commissioner informs us
that he has made a personal tour of
every dwelling in the borough, and as
a result he finds about twenty cess
pools overlooking and in a condition
that is unfit to be tolerated by the
Sanitary committee of councils. He
has notified the parties owning the
premises, and unless the nuisance is
abated he will do it and charge the
cost to the borough. This report of
the street commissioner needs no COM
ment. 1t is a certain fact that the
necessity of sewers exists, and unless
something is done to give the people
an artificial outlet an epidemic will
take place.

In 1889 the machine politicians of
Pennsylvania refused even to treat
with decency bill to reform the bal
lot when in the Legislature. But
they now profess the most unbounded
affection for such measure, and de-
clare their purpose to put a demand
for it in the next Republican platform
Everybody knows how much value to
attach to the platform promises of the
Republican machine managers of this
State. Their newborn zeal for ballot
reform in 1890 is as much to be
dreaded as was their open hostility in
1889. They are covering ballot re.
form with their caresses only to be

The large iron breaker in course of
erection at Drifton is rapidly nearing
completion, and IN all probability will be
ready to begin operations on June list.
1t is undoubtedly the finest breaker in
the coal regions, being equipped with all
the latest improved machinery for the
handling and preparation of coal; and,
when in perfect running order it is ex-
pected that $50 mine cars of coal per
hour can be prepared for market, though
fears are entertained by many as to
men and bows more than the one which
was destroyed by fire little over two
years ago.

Advertising in Paris.

The latest development of the adj
vertising art comes from Paris, where
an enterprising publisher has employed
large corps of sandwich men to ad-
yertise book by walking down the
boulevards and reading it with rapt
attention. An inquisitive gentleman,
anxious to know how far this would
nave an educational effect upon the
readers, crept up behind one who
seemed more rapt than all the others,
anu, anu found that he was reading the
BOOK upside down.

The Art of Sharpening a Knife.

"Do you know how to sharpen a
carving-knifeP" The question was ask.
ed by big butcher in Fulton street.
Very few people do" said he. "The
carver ought to be held at an angle of
twenty to twenty-five degrees, on the
steel. When the other side of the blade
is turned you must be careful to pre-
serve the same angle. Then draw the
steel from heel to point against the
edge, using only a slight pressure. .

BE PATRIoTIc.-The recent fire
in our town has laid bare the most
desirable spot ever offered for the
following purposes: First, To en-
large our wharf privileges. Second.
To find a place to erect monu.

and the heroes who fell with him in
the battle at Point Pleasant IVA.
Third. The place would be and
continue to be place of public re.
sort, where our children would learn
lessons of historic interest and in
formation. Why not this be done

We look upon it as an injustice,
when property is destroyed by fire,
and is total loss, that insurance
companies should scale the losses
from 10 to 25 per cent. in adjust
ing them, as has been done in al
most every instance growing out of
the late fire. 1t looks very much
like q species of robbery. The
right way to DO such companies, is
to sue them and compel them to
pay in full every cent. An insur-
ance company that won't pay as it
agrees to. in case of loss by fire,
ought to be kicked out of the State,
and never permitted to return.
