The petition of the W. C. T. U. to the
city government asking that the prohibitory
law be enforced, recalls to mind an action
taken by the city government when just en-
tering upon its present term. From the
report of the meeting Of the city
government, Thursday evening, May
18th, 1898, we find that Alderman
Lcvejoy introduced the following:
Ordered. That the city marshal be in
structed to enforce the law in relation to
the sale of Intoxicating liquors throughout
the city.
The report continues as follows: 1t was
explained that this was to apply to druggists
and 1t WAS then passed. Mr.. Crawford
says he will shut up every saloon
in town as soon rs the agency opens.] 1t
will remembered that it WAS on this evening
the order to establish city liquor agency
was passed.
II we remember correctly the impression
was conveyed to the public on this occasion
that the city liquor agency was particularly
needed in the interests of the temperance
cause in this city. In fairness to the inexperi-
cnced and struggling city fathers the public
should properly have assumed that the
above order could mean nothing else than
what ito words declare. But did it mean
nythiog save the exact opposite of the
declaration? There seems to be no coca
sion for the JOURNAL to answer the ques-
ton. Anyone living in this city and going
about the streets in pursuit Of his avocs-
ton must know whether the city govern
ment and its officer, the city marshal, have
observed that order from the time it was
passed until the present. II the present

s.d Rescuer- workiug Hard.

SCRANTON, Sept. 29.-The rescue OF the four
miners entombed on last Thursday In the North
west colliery, near Carbondale, will not be
effected until tomorrow morning.
There is no longer any doubt that all escaped
death, " the sounds of rapping which come
through the black barrier that separates them
from their rescuers are correctly understood.
Since the hour of the cave-in Assistant Super
intendent Shepherd and Foreman White have
scarcely taken u moments rest, so anxious have
they been to direct the work of the several gangs
OF rescuers who have been slowly pushing their
way through the hundred feet of debris which
completely clogged the gangway. Now that
they fully realize that all the men are alive, they
are pushing forward with redoubled energy to
restore them 10 their friends.
Hundreds Of persons are massed tonight about
the mouth Of the mines slope. Superintendent
Harry Simpson says that with good progress
continuing In clearing away the debris, the i'm
prisoned men should be reached by 8 O'Clock TO-
morrow morning.
