NEWSY NOTES FROM NEARBY TOWNS

MCKEEsPoRT, July 14.-The crusade OF
Constable Lang apainst people who sell
cigars, candy, ice cream, ETC., on Sunday, is
continued. There have been eight prose-
cutions before Alderman Hughes, and two
persons have been fined $25 and costs. The
majority of them have appealed. In all
these cases the evidence was furnished by
George Brown, of Versailles township. In
one case, that of Mr.. Hoyt, merchant
charged with selling Brown cents worth
of candy, Mrs. Hoyt answered for Mr. Hoyt,
he not being able to be present. She was
left off with costs in the case.
Immediately after the hearing the lady
saw Brown standing near the Alderman's
Office. She walked across the street to a
grocery store and picked up half dozen
eggs and placed them in her apron. She
walked to where Brown was standing and
began to pelt him with the eggs, three of
them striking him on the back of the head.
He turned around, bewildered, and received
the fourth one on the face.
After this performance she returned to
the store and gladly paid for the eggs. He
will likely prosecute.

made there that may prove of some note
when fully investigated. On small level

found to be an opening which was partially
filled with dirt and wood.
The boys and q young man who was out
photographing made up their minds to dis
cover what it was. They went to the owner
of the land for tools and permission to dig.
He was an old gray-headed man, who had
lived there for perhaps 40 years. When he
learned what was TO be done he did not OBJ
ject, but said the boys must be careful or
they would never get out. Together with
what they saw from digging and from what
the old man told them he had discovered,
they learned that the opening is in solid
the opening, which is about six feet deep,
finds himself in a narrow passage.
This passage runs north for a distance of 80
feet, and slopes down at an angle of q little
less than 80 degrees. 1t gradually gets nar-
rover until finally one comes to a jumping
mense chamber of darkness. A light held
at this opening reveals nothing but inky
darkness.
A stone thrown in this opening cannot be
heard to strike anything at all. A rushing
sound Is heard when the stone is first cast in

the location is known only to a few.

FIRES, FAILURES AND RAILWAY NEWS

CHICAGO, July 14.-Evidently the In
mined to find out, if possible, the exact re-
lation existing between the Illinois Steel
Company and the five incorporated side
tracks known as railroad companies. Yes
terday they were baff1ed in their attempt to
obtain this information by the refusal of
the principal witnesses to answer important
questions To-day Commissioner Veazey
and his colleagues adopted a new plan of
procedure. They made a formal demand
on Vice President Sterling, of the Illinois
Steel Company, for the stock book of that
concern.
Mr.. Sterling's counsel, Lawyer Withrow,
demonstrated. He said it was an unusual
demand, and that it is not customary Tor
large corporations to permit their private
books to be inspected.
''Then you refuse to let the commission
see the book?" inquired Commissioner
Veazey.
There was a brief conference of lawyers,
railroad men and steel company officials,
and the conclusion was that it would be an
unwise move to let the books be inspected.
"Then," said Commissioner Veazey, II
Will subpoena you, Mr.. Sterling, to produce
the stock book"
d
right on top of it came an order from the
Commissioners making it imperative upon
the Auditor of the five railroad companies,
J. S. Okeefe, to yield the Secretary's books
for inspection. After some further conSulta-
tion tine commission was informed by Vice
President Sterling's counsel that it would be
impossible for his clerk to produce the
stock book of the steel company.
"Mr. Sterling has not got IL in his custody"
remarked the attorney. "All the actions of
this company involving vital matters are
original with the Executive Committee, and
until that body instructs MIR. Sterling to
produce the book i'll question he is without
authority to do so. However, he will accept
service of the subpoena for the company
and endeavor to call a meeting of the Ex-
ecutive Committee so as to get the stock
book"
There seemed to be nothing for the COM
mfssioners to do but await the pleasure of
the company and its Executive Committee.
Meantime, w. r. BrinIson, President OF the
defendant railroad companies, and +. S.
Chase, the Assistant General Freight Agent of
the Lake Shore, were called upon to answer
a few questions touching the traffic over the
36-mile system. 1t was brought out that an
arrangement existed between the Lake
Shore and the Illinois Steel Company where
by switching charge of 50 per car was
made, but no important Information was
ELECTED from either witness, and the COM
missiOners temporarily abandoned the in
veStigation of this case.

STEUBENvILLE, July A.-[Sperial. 1-Town-
ship Trustee J. S. King, OF Mt. Pleasant
township, reports deplorable state of af-
fairs at Long Run, Dillonvale and Laurelton
mines on the Wheeling and Lake
Erie Railroad. About 80 Slaves were
slashed in the battle on the railroad
train on the Fourth. Some had their
cuts dressed, while others neglected do
ing so, and now are laying off because
their cuts are festered. Anthony Balini,
Hungarian, is dying from neglect to have
the proper attention for foot that was
crushed last Saturday. Andy Sedlechi, a
Pole, died last night from injuries received
Tuesday morning: He was cut from the alb.
donen up by the fall OF soapstone. He died
after suffering horribly for SO hours. Kiss
Denis had his face spoiled by having it cut
by pick in the hands of a negro, and was
taken to the infirmary to-day, he having be-
come demented from his inj uries.
The houses of the company are all built
without regard to sanitary regulations. The
two sick men, Balini and Sedlechi, became
delirious lying under the caves of these
houses, and they were removed by the
Township Trustees. Unless the matter is
taken in hand and sanitary regulations es-
tablished, the ravages of disease among
miners this summer will be frightful. This
matter will be brought before the County
Commissioners. The mines are owned by
the Pittsburg, Lake Erie and Wheeling Coal
Company, and employ 1000 miners, who
turn out $50 carloads per day.
