Liability of Employers.

Secretary of Internal Affairs Thos. J
Stewart has published in advance Sec.
tion A. of Part III, of the annual report
of that department., comprising an ex-
haustive review of the legal relations be-
tween employers and employees in Penn
sylvania, prepared by Albert S. Bolles,
the chief of the bureau of industrial
statistics. The first seven sections are of
a general character, in which the true
end of the rule of duty that ought to be
established is considered, and the diff.
Guilty of legislating on the subject.
Next is presented review of the ear
ly cases in England, and in the United
States. The Frazier case was the first
reported in Pennsylvania, in 1858, in
which the supreme court decided that
an employer was not liable to an en-
ploye for an accident resulting from the
negligence of another employe, unless
the employer was negligent in selecting
him. The reason for the decision is
then given, followed by review of all
the subsequent cases.
Next is considered the rule requiring
employers to select suitable servants,
tools, machinery, apparatus, etc., and all
the notifications that have been made
from time to time until the present.
Then the cases defin ng fellow servant
are presented as well as those defining
the liability of an independent contIac-
tor, this portion of the report closing
with some suggestions for legislative con-
slderation. The next part of the report
all the legislation of other
states, while the concluding part contains
all the foreign legislation on the subject.

The Coal Combines Extortions,

Tuesdays New York World contains the
following correspondence from Hazleton,
sent by person signing himself "Vic-
TIM"
We miners and others get to see
your paper sometimes, and we don't
agree with what the monopoly papers
say about your reports from the mines.
It's only too true, and they don't care to
know what happens in the miners life.
Send up one of your men and find out
how this deal of the Reading is helping
the miners. Investigate what the coal
companies make on powder alone-what
it costs them keg, and what the miners
have to pay for it. A keg costs from 81
to $1.25 and is sold for So. rs a keg. and
the poor miner can't buy it from any
body but the company, for they won't
allow it, and he'd be discharged if he
kicked.
Yes, these are nice Christian gentlemen,
who give big sums to the poor and to the
hospitals and to build colleges, and they
get it by taking profit of $1.75 and
mere on thing which costs 81 to l.25
and on which 25 cents would be a big
profit on the thousands of kegs they sell
every year, each one of them. Go for
them with your paper and shame them
and keep it up, for it will do more good
than striking

A petition has been sent to the officials
of the D. S. & S. Railroad by the people
of Oneida, asking that the company run
daily passenger train from that place
to Hazleton. 1t would be favor that
should be cordially welcomed if Ex-
Senator Coke grants this request The
running of passenger trains between
Oneida and Haz'eton would soon he
followed by extending the road and
service to Freeland, and that alone
would be of much benefit to this place.
1t was reported last summer that such
was the company's intention, but since
the deal little has been heard of it. The
route to Freeland was surveyed and
everything indicated that the D. S. & S.
would reach here in 1892. Although the
road was not intended as passenger
line, yet, even with its circuitous route,
there is fine opening to build up a good
trade between Oneida and Freeland,
and it would benefit the company if they
would take advantage of it.

Weekly Coal Report.

The condition of the anthracite coal
trade has not changed materially since
our last report. There is a steady de-
mand for the domestic sizes, and as the
output of the furr ace and other manu-
featuring sizes is restricted as nearly as
possible to the actual requirements fer
immediate consumption, there is no sur
plus stock accommodating worth mention
ing. The newly mined coal being for
warded to market is being well distri-
buted, and there are sufficient orders for
coal in hand to take up the greater part
of the June allotment, which has been
fixed at 3, 1000, 600 tons, though, it is be-
lieved, at least half million tons more
will be required, and, if it is, the addi-
tional quantity will be produced. Tie
general sales agents met at New York
last week and agreed to advance prices
for Western shipment 25 cents per ton,
and an advance on chestnut size of 10
cents per ton was also ordered on coal
for shipment Eastward beyond the Capes.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending May
81 as reported by the several carrying
companies, was S56,79 tons, compared
with 79O,796 tons in the corresponding
week last year, an increase of 95, ,999 tons.
The total amount of anthracite mined
thus far in the year of 1892 was IA ,445,-
521 tons, compared with Il, 1885, 80 tons
for the same period in 1891, an increase
of 1,062,3l1.

FREELAND, Pa THURSDAY, JUNE 2, 1892

Bills were paid for cleaning hose, oil and
supplies, amounting to $lS.S1; also $5 for
teams for Memorial Day parade. The
chief reported that the damage done to
the hose carriages at the last fire was re-
paired, but that he had not received the
bill. He stated that he had received S.
from Bernhard Dim, of Birvanton, as
donation towards the injury done the
hose carriages. A vote of thanks was
passed to Mr.. Dim, and any other con-
t ibutions will be duly acknowledged.
An invit. on was received from Wash
ington Camp No. 147, P. o. S. of A., of
Freeland, to parade on July 4. 1t was
accepted. The chiefs of the different
departments have agreed to meet soon
and begin thorough system of instruc-
tion to the men under their command.
The first practice will take place next
Thursday evening when it is expected
all who can do SO will attend, A motion
was agreed TO that all members who
have not as yet procured the shirt adopt
ed by the company do so on or before
July 4. The excursion committee will
meet next Monday evening.

CAUGHT IN THE NET
Police Make Several Arrests
on Memorial Day.
BURGESS GALLAGHER INSISTS UPON
PRESERVING PEACE IN THIS BOR-
OUGH-$56 IN FINES COLLECTED
IN ONE DAY.

From the moment the clouds began to
disappear on Monday until early Tues
day morning the town was thronged with
visitors from all the surrounding villages.
Besides the parade the attractions
were numerous enough to give
enjoyment to all. The base ball game,
the Tigers picnic, three Hungarian balls
and sixty-one saloons took good care of
the crowd, which was a jovial and good
natured gathering. Nevertheless some of
the sight-seers met more friends than
they should, and the effects of slipping
the twenty-five kinds of beer which
Freeland keeps on tap were noticeable
in the latter part of the afternoon. In
the borough the throng was the greatest,
and Burgess Gallagher's force had its
hands full. The officers were lenient in
nearly every instance where their SER
vices were required, and if a man could
walk the chalk line and keep his mouth
closed he was allowed to depart unmo-
Tested.
A few, however, were in fighting trim,
and insisted upon trying to run the town
according to their rural notions of law
and order. The Snyder brothers, Hiram,
Walter and Albert, of Highland, who
figured in, shooting affray at South
Heberton last Christmas, raised a dis
turbance in Front Street saloon. The
proprietor sent for the cops and the trio
was escorted to the lookup by Chief Ken
nedy and Officers Gallagher and Nc
Laughln. William Schoas, of South
Heberton, objected to parting with the
Snyder boys and attempted to rescue
them. Officer Jones took him along to
keep company with his friends.
An Upper Lehigh Hungarian was
dancing the can-can on Washington
Street and making himself obnoxious to
passers-by. He was furnished with free
lodging for the night, and two more of
his countrymen, who were found asleep
on Centre Street, were also taken to
the cooler. An individual from the
Points was the next to fall in the
clutches of the officers.
The offenders were given hearing
on Tuesday, and after the burgess had
disposed of some good advice he fined
them according to the charges. The
Snyders were taxed $40 each, Scholas Sc,
three Huns So each and he man from
the Points So. After considering the
alternative, five days on bread and
water, they thought it best to pay the
fines, and the borough treasury was
swelled to the extent of $56.

of day light shift and had gone into a
part of the mine known as the sand drift,
almost under the center of the bed of the
Susquehanna River. Protheroe went
before them to be sure that the place
was safe. He was about five feet ahead
of them when the explosion occurred,
tearing up everything along the gangway
like whirlwind and dashing the miners
about like straws.
1t is supposed that Protheroe slipped
and fell, breaking his safety lamp, which
ignited the gas. He was careful and
experienced miner, and it is hardly pos
sible the accident was caused by his neg
ligence. The loss to the company will
be quite heavy, as the explosion dam
aged the roof of the mine, making large
cracks through which it is feared the
water may enter from the river.

Memorial Day Observed.

So far as can be judged by newspaper
reports the anthracite region of Pennsyl-
vania led the whole United States in its
display of patriotism and remembrance
of the dead on Memorial day. The
beautiful custom of strewing the graves
of deceased soldiers is growing more in
favor with each succeeding year, and
1892 witnessed a more general obser-
vance of the day than on any previous
similar occasion. I'm this respect Free
land did its share in manner that will
compare favorably with any town in the
state. The parade and exercises were
carried out as announced last week, after
which John d. Hayes, of this place, and
General W. II. Mccartney, of Wilkes
Barre, delivered addresses. At Eckl.y
the societies and Sunday schools of the
town held parade, and very able ad-
dress was delivered by Chas. Orion
Stroh, of Freeland.

The Ticket Gave 1t Away,

A Lehlgh Valley trainman tells the
following Memorial Day episode: That
evening man got upon their train in a
very joyful condition, and, taking seat
began shouting, singing and cursing in
very unorthodox fashion. He had the
unlighted stump of cigar in his mouth
and ticket for Hazleton stuck in his
hat band, and vowed that he didn't care
blankety blank "for everybody er no.
bodyp' At last a clerical looking old
gentleman who sat near him could stand
it no longer, and going over to him,
placed hand upon his shoulder and
solemnly asked: "My friend, do you
know where you are going? You are
bound straight for hell" The inebriate
blinked foolishly at him for moment
and then thickly calculated: GLOW do
you know it stranger?" Then reaching
up suddenly, he took the ticket from his
hat saying: "Oh, l see-the id
ticket gave it away"

Mine Accident at Mocanaqua.

A terrific explosion of gas occurred on
Tuesday morning in the West End Mine

which two men were instantly kil'el |,

selves to infuse all the freshness and frag-

There are many stories in which the cap
