Fire and Public Apathy.

Fire isa cruel adversary. But more cruel. more to be dreaded, more diff cult to contend with, than fire itself is public apathy in regard to protection against fire.
 Protection against fire robs fire of its terrors. But public apathy never pro- vides such protection, hence public apathy is the ally of fire.
 There are already fire insurance com- panies enough in existence, but there is demand in many towns for insur- auce against public apathy. Fire in snrance is good; but ample protection against fire, or in other words ample means for extinguishing fire, is better.
 We hope that Canaan will increase it's equipment for extingaishing fire, and then an "Apathy Insurance Co.," will not be needed here.

THE GALL FOR STRIKERS.

All Unions May Not ResPOnd-The Rea-
sons for It.
Special 10 the HERALD.
CHICAGO, July 1.-THE backbone Of the
strike appears to be broken. The twenty
three railroads represented by the General
Managers Association are moving pas
senger and freight trains on schedule
time. OF course, the extraordinary con-
ditions of the strike situation still OBJ
tain, and each train must have the pro-
lection of the government.
The calls for recruits to the ranks of the
strikers issued by the Trades Unions and
Knights of Labor has not been as effect
ual as was anticipated. 1t is admitted
that not all organized labor will join
directly in the strike. The locomotive
engineers will not go out. Neither will
the plumbers nor the printers. In many
of the trades which will quit as organiza-
tions, large proportion of the men will
remain at work. They do not see in the
Pullman strike any reason why they
should lose their work and wages and
involve the nation in industrial Anarchy.
in the case of other trades, the strike,
under present circumstances, is a fragrant
violation of their organic law. The strike
will not be legitimate, and any man tax
ing the place of striker in such condi-
tions cannot be placed under the ban.

A Dynamite Scare.
Special to the HERALD.

Special to the HERALD.
CHICAGO, July 11.-In this crisis, and
just as the public is alarmed at the posi-.
BILE conflict comes the announcement
that 100 pounds of dynamite have been
stolen from one of the great magazines
of the drainage canal. In the dead of
night the heavy bars and iron doors of
the magazine were forced and enough
dynamite was stolen to blow up the entire
business portion of Chicago; yet 800
specially detailed detectives have been
unable to find trace of the robbers or
the missing explosive. The secret of the
theft has been well kept while the search
was proceeding, but high official of the
drainage canal to-day admitted all the
facts, adding that the quantity stolen was
sufficient to destroy property worth $780,
100000 and terrorize the whole city

The Miners journal Passes Into New
Hands.
An important event in Schuylkill
county newspaper circles took place at
Pottsville yesterday in the transfer OF the
Miners journal plant to a syndicate
known as the Miners journal Printing
Company, of which NJ. p. Quinn, the we'll
known contractor, is president, II. G.
Boyer, of the HERALD, Shenandoah, is
secretary and John H. Finuey, of Shen'
andOah, and editor OF the Pottsvllle
Morning Despatch, is treasurer and bust
ness manager.
The Journal is the oldest established
Republican newspaper in the county and
has prestige which makes il a valuable
acquisition. The political and general
policy Of the paper will remain un-
changed.
1t Is believed that in the near future the
Morning Despatch will be made an even
ing paper. This change has been dis.
cussed, but nothing definite decided upon
The working staff of the Journal re
mains as II was before the change wal
made.
The change OF the Journal ownership
has no bearing upon the HERALD, not
withstanding Mr.. Boyer's interest in It
The HERALD will be issued as usual anC
in short time arrangements will be
made to make IL better than ever. Iti
large and continually increasing list OF
subscribers shows that II Is already ap
preciated, but the management aspires tC
make IL one of the best one cent daily in
land papers in the state.
