Laws Against the Poor.

An important suit was settled on Fri
day in the Schuylkill courts. Susan
Lewis and Margaret Ward brought suit
against the Lehigh Valley Coal Com
pany to recover IS, 900 damages each for
the deaths of their husbands, James
Lewis and Thomas Ward, wEo lost their
lives by an explosion of gas in the Fe-
gen Ridge colliery at Newtown. The
gas escaped from an abandoned working
and the suit was based upon the negli-
gence of the company in not affording
the men sufficient prot, ction from dan
ger.
The court held that the evidence
showed the accident to be due to the
negligence of an employee and that. un-
der the law the company could not be
held liable for the accident. Judge
Rice directed the jury to bring in ver-
dict in favor of the defendant, which
they did without leaving the box.

A Baby Starved to Death.

A ptiful case of starvation was
brought to the attention of the authori-
ties in Wilkes-Barre on Friday by the
death of the three year-old daughter of
Emanuel Darby, lace weaver. Darby
came to this country from Nottingham,
England, seven years ago with the lace
industry, and worked until last july,
when the weavers went out on strike.
He has been idle about nine months,
and has been unable to obtain any other
work. His family of six small children,
the Oldest being boy of twelve years,
have been reduced to starvation.
On Friday morning the little three
year-old daughter expired, and when
the neighbors came in to offer their SYM
pathy the terrible truth that the family
was starving confronted them. The
father disheartened with the bitter
struggle of life, sat in a corner of the
room and the mother in pitieous tones
told the neighbors that they had not a
cent in the house to buy her child neces-
stiles or even bite of food to eat.
The neighbors contributed enough
money to buy good dinner for the fam
lily and took steps to give the child
decent burial.

Weather Prophet Hicks, as all know,
was away off in his March predictions,
and he confesses that the month was
not as severe as he believed it would be.
His forecasts for April may be surer.
Briefly stated they are as follows: The
month will open warm with showers.
There will be storm periods beginning
with very warm and ending in very cold
weather. One of these periods is from
the 9TH to the 9th. During the last Pc
riod severe disturbances may be ex-
pected.
On the 18th and 18th heavy showers,
with hail, thunder and lightning, with
very cold weather succeeding, The 18th
to 2lst will constitute the next regular
period. The showery conditions, usual
ly existing all through April, will take
on new power and organize into storms
of great extent and energy at this period,
as well as all the dates of central distur
Dances.
Very cool nights, with frost generally,
may be expected between the storms of
this period and the reactonary changes
and storm due centrally on the 9th and
25th. Another cold dash-severe enough
to bring frost in the north-will follow
storms about these dates. The month
will end with a growing warm wave and
with storms advancing from western ex-
tremes of the country.

The breaker at Park Place, operated
by Lentz, Lilly & Co, located two miles
above Mahanoy City, was destroyed by
fire early Friday morning. The origin
of the fire is mystery, but it is thought
to have been caused by an overheated
stove. The loss is estimated at $3.50, 900,
partly covered by insurance. At2o'clock
the watchman discovered the fire raging
in the breaker above the engine house.
He Immediately gave the alarm, but by
the time assistance arrived the flames
were beyond control, and soon envelop-
ed the mammoth structure.
The breaker was one of the largest in
the coal region, and was fitted up ten
years ago at an expense of $3.50, 900.
The plant gave employment to 700 men
and boys, most of whom reside at Park
Place and Mahanoy City. 1t was stu
ated on the lines of the Lehigh Valley
Railroad, and all its coal shipments
were made over that road. The mine
in 1892 produced 2S4, 900 tons of coal.

From the Quakertown Pa, Times.
On Monday morning DIR. N. Maley
left Quakertown for Freeland, Luzerne
county. He came here three years ago,
having just graduated from college, and
succeeded in building up a successful
dental practice. The Doctor is an ex-
emplary man and has host of friends
among the best people of Quakertown.
His only motive for leaving the town is
because attractive inducements have
been offered him and the opportunities
for success are greater in larger town.
Both personally and professionally we
commend the Doctor to the patronage
and personal consideration of the citi-
zens of Freeland.
