Hines Files Ridiculous Charges.

Congressman Hines is smarting under
the slight put upon him by Postmaster
General Bissell by the appointment of
John j. Mcdonald postmaster at Kings
ton. On Friday he filed charges against
Mcdonald with the senate committee on
postoffices and postroads, where the
nomination now lies.
Little Billy says he has nothing against
Mcdonald personally, but it is under
stood that the charges are made on the
grounds that Mcdonald should not have
been appointed. 1t is alleged that the
latter was not resident of Kingston
until the day after his nomination. One
of the strong points Hines expects to
make with the committee is the inter-
ference of the postmaster general and
the effect this interference will have on
his chances of reelection,
Senator Eppa Hunton, of Virginia,
was entrusted with the charges, but it is
not likely any serious attention will be
paid to them. That any nomination will
interfere with Hines chances of elec
ton is too ridiculous to be considered
The real reason for the congressman
chargin lies in the fact that he had a
candidate for the office, and when Hines
has a candidate in tow he does not want
to be baked. 1t affects him in more
ways than is necessary to mention just
now. What a pity this little Democrat
for-revenue-only is not allowed to parcel
out all the Offices of the administration?
He would retire millionaire.

Looking for Delegates.

Walter L. Lyon, of Pittsburg, Quay's
candidate for the Republican nomina-
ton for the lieutenant governorship,
was in the upper part of the county on
Friday calling on prominent Republi-
cans. He said indications were very
favorable for his nomination, and that
if hard fight would win him the place
he would be the nominee.
His opponent is John B. Robinson,
one of the hardest workers in the party
and a popular Republican. If Quay
turns down Robinson there will be much
dissatisfaction in the ranks next fall.

All the Bodies Found.

All of the thirteen bodies have been
recovered from the Gaylord mine
at Plymouth, where the fatal cave-in
occurred on February 13. The twelfth to
be discovered was that of Daniel Morgan,
the timber boss. At 10 o'clock Friday
night one of the rescuing party uncover
ed foot and at o'clock next morning
the body was taken out. The body was
so badly decomposed that Identification
was impossible except by the shoes.
The funeral was held that afternoon.
The next and last body found was
that of Thomas Picton, who was fore
man of the gang of men who were en-
gagged in timbering the place at the time
of the disaster. 1t was believed that
with Picton's body would be found some
notes of the accident, but as nothing was
discovered the conclusion must be ac-
cepted that instant death overlook them
all and how the accident occurred will
forever remain mystery.
1t is estimated that the cayein and the
search for the bodies cost the company
at least $35, 900.

suicide and an inquest was not necessary.
Undertaken Phil Boyle was sent for and
he had the body removed to his morgue
and then started out to find some person
to identify it.
About 3 o'clock on Saturday evening
several Italians from the Chill" visited
the morgue and as soon as they got a
glimpse of the body, they Immediately
recognized it as Frank Carer, one of
their countrymen, person who was we'll
known all over the coal region.
He was a resident of this section for a
long time, coming here about fifteen
years ago. He was called "Big Frank"
among his countrymen, and to many
others was known as "Shassay"
A few years ago he went to the upper
end of the county and got mixed up in
some scrape which landed him in the
eastern penitentiary for two years, being
liberated about month ago. Since his
freedom he has been very Respondent
and in one of these despondent fits
threw himself in front of the train.
He was considered very harmless
fellow, very fond of dancing and from
that was nicknamed "Shassay." A col
lection is being raised among his coun-
trymen to give him decent burial.

MINES AND RAILROADS.

For February the Jersey Centrals net
earnings decreased $3.50, $50, largely due
to the depression in anthracite.
1t is said in Central Railroad circles
that beginning with the month of May
all employees will be paid by check in
stead of cash.
The Hall automatic block system, on
the Lehigh Valley Railroad between
Mauch Chunk and Penn Haven juno
ton, is completed and will be tested
today.
Sidings on all coal carrying roads lead
ing from anthracite mines to tidewater
are overcrowded with loaded coal cars,
which are waiting for revival in the
retail demand.
Schuylkill is 81 ,355 tons of coal short
of her output as compared with one year
ago. But the Lehigh and Lackawanna
regions still have big lead in the race
for the market.
The Lehigh Valley Company has
adopted the Gould couplers, and will
begin to equip all their cars with the
same shortly. The Miller coupler will
be abandoned entirely.
The average rate of labor in the an
thracite region last year, according to
statistics prepared by the Reading Coal

Suicide on the Rail.

From Today's Plain Speaker
About $50 O'Clock on Saturday morn
ing, the time the D. S. & S. passenger
train was due at Roam junction, Engi-
neer John Miller saw man running
through the woods heading towards the

he laughed at the engineer, and scramb-
ling up the steep embankment, de-
liberately threw himself in front of the
locomotive, the COW catcher striking him
on the right side of the head, killing him
on the spot. The engine was stopped
and the crew returned to the scene and
a horrible sight met their view. The
mans head was crushed fiat and his
brains were scattered for yards around.

notified and after hearing the statements
of Engineer Miller and Conductor
