From the Philadelphia Times.
While the victims of the Gaylord mine
squeeze are still entombed and no in
quest or investigation into the cause of
the disaster has been undertaken he
would be rash who would undertake
to fix the blame off hand. The frequen-
cy of these fatal caveins in the Wyom-
ngcoal field gives rise to the unreasonable
suspicion that the system of leases and
royalties to landowners under which
the bulk of the coal in this field is min
ed is primarily at fault
The lessons receive a certain price per
ton for all coal taken out and the closer
the coal is mined the greater their royal
ties. They employ so-called mine eX-
perts to look after their interests and
these men encourage the robbing of
pillars. After a shaft is once opened it
is also to the interest of the lessees to
take out the largest possible amount of
coal through it. Between these two
greed-inspired interests the safety of the
miners is likely to receive scant con-
sideration.
1t is certain that only the most effec-
tive and thorough legal inspection and
supervision will render the calling of the
miners anything like safe one when
such conditions exist.

were in many cases snapped off like
match wood. In some of the gangways
and breasts men could not work for two
and three days at a time owing to the
squeeze. To the present management
this state of affairs is not due, however,
but is laid on the shoulders of the Of
licials who conducted the mine the first
three years it was opened. They put
men to work robbing pliers as fast as
the breasts were being worked up and
the consequences are now vividly illus
trated in the present squeeze.
Messrs. Long and O'Donnell, the pre-
sent officials, are capable men. They
have done everything possible to put
the slope in safe condition, but pre-
vious management by unqualified super
intendents was too great and the result
is a general suspension of work. During
the suspension men will be kept at work
timbering and Strengthening the weakest
places, and in the course of few weeks
the slope will be in condition to resume
operations. About seventy five miners
and laborers are thrown out of employ
ment

PICKED UP BY THE WAY.
THINGS SEEN AND HEARD IN THE
TOWN AND VICINITY.

Matters of Local Nature Written Up
and Placed Before the Readers of the
Tribune" by the Saunterer-Something
Here May Interest You.
While in town last week.
George II. Pierce, of Phila-
delphia, grand recorder of
the Knights of Malta, of this
state, was shown around by
several members of the order.
Seeing st. Mary's Greek Cath
Ollie church, its prominent posi-
ton on the hill making it con
spicuous to visitors, he express
sed a desire to view it's interior.
The pastor, Rev. Gulovich,
readily consented to open the
church, and Mr.. Pierce mani
tested considerable interest in
what he found therein. The
similarity of many of the en-
blems of his order with figures
and designs which he found in
the church were very notice
able, and as it was the first
church of that denomination
which he had an opportunity
to visit Mr.. Pierce was very
thankful for the courtesy
shown him by the priest. He
expressed great surprise at the
elaborate and costly decora-
tions contained within the
building, and stated that his
visit to the church was an in
structive and entertaining one.
Among the candidates who
are seeking the position of sec
retary of the middle coal field
poor district is our townsman
b. f. Davis, the well-known
flour and feed merchant. The
board is composed entirely of
Republicans, and as Mr.. Davis
has been stalwart supporter
of each of the present members.
as well as being one of the
leading lights of his party on
the North Side and an active
worker in every campaign, his
friends feel that his services
are worthy Of recognition and
the position of secretary is as
little as his party could con
sistently offer him. Being a
thorough business man and
qualified in every particular
his claims ought not be passed
by lightly at the meeting of
the poor board, and it is not
probable that they will if worth
and party work count for any
thing in making the selection.
1t has been so long since
Freeland was given a call bv
burglars that the visit paid the
town last week should cause
merchants and residents to
give a little more attention to
the locking up of their prem
lses at night. Some people are
so careless in this respect that
it is wonder there are not more
of these night raids carried on.
Doors with insecure locks, open
tranSoms and unfastened win
dows are common along Centre
street, and business men can
be found here who will ac-
knowledge that their doors are
sometimes left unlocked all
night. Thoughtlessness of this
kind is a temptation to mid
night prowlers, giving them
easy access to such places. and
should a gang of professional
house-breakers arrive here they
could clean out the town in a
short while. The warning CON
tanned in the burglaries of last
week may have it's effect in
making people more careful
hereafter. SAUNTERER.

1t seems difficult to convince the Re
publican senators that they do not pos
sess all of the parliamentary knowledge
and skill in that body, but they were
very clevery outwitted by the Demo-
Gratis this week in scheme of their own
putting up. A Republican caucus de-
cided to spring the immediate considera-
tion of the Bland bill for the coinage of
the seinoirage, which passed the house
last week, on the senate, counting upon
the votes of the Populists, and upon
forcing the silver Democrats to choose
between tariff and silver, their idea be-
ing to keep the Bland bill before the
senate for an indefinite period, in order
to prevent consideration of the tariff
bill.

Several Democrats learned of this
programme and gave the Republicans a
surprise they have not yet recovered
from, by taking the initiative in getting
the Bland bill before the senate, Senator
Voorhees, stating that as it would prob
ably be about ten days before the tariff
bill (now before the full finance commit
tee) would be ready for the considera-
ton of the senate, and that the time was
ample for the disposition of the Bland
bill. Senator Sherman made an ineffec-
tual effort to have the Bland bill sent to
committee.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Senators Vest and Mcpherson made
personal explanations in the senate this
week concerning charges made against
them, in a New York paper, of having
speculated in the stock of the sugar trust
on their knowledge of what the sugar
clause of the tariff bill was to be. Sena-
tor Vest said; 81 may as well say now
once for all, that such publication as
this is vile SANDER, and the man who
repeats it a wilful and malicious liar. 4"
Senator Mcpherson said that he did
sometimes buy stocks, for investment,
not speculation, and that when he was
in the south some weeks ago his brokers,
acting under a standing order to buy Ger
tain stocks when they could be had at
certain prices, bought 900 shares of
sugar stock for him. As soon as he re-
turned and learned of the purchase he
instructed his brokers to sell the stock
and to buy no more, as he did not wish
to hold it while sugar was being discuss
ed by the finance committee.

Postmaster General Bissel dosen't ac-
cept any halfway business from contrac-
tors under his department. The presi-
dent of the Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany was made aware of this fact this
week, through an official notification
that the contract between the govern
ment and his company for the transpor-
tation Of mails between New York and
the lsthmus of Panama, and between
San Francisco and the Japanese and
Chinese ports, made under the subsidy
act of the notorious billion-dolar con-
gress, would be cancelled, because of the
failure of the company to comply with
the terms Of the contract. Mails will
continue to be sent by steamers of this
line, but only the usual prices will be
paid for carrying them, instead of an ex-
ira subsidy of 81 a mile for all the dis
tanCe covered.
