The Semi-Monthly Paw Law,

Factory Inspector Watchorn has de.
cided to make test case of the semi
monthly pay law, and with this end il
view has entered charges against the
United Mine Company of Clearfeld
county, corporation in the bituminous
region which is violating the law. Mr..
Watchorn intends to push the case as
far as he can in his efforts to compel cor
porations to obey the law, and if success
full will then enter suit against all who
are violating this act.
The case will be watched closely by
the miners here especially, as there is
only one firm in this region, the Cross
Creek Coal Company, that is obeying
the law. 1t is hoped that Mr.. Watchorn
will be successful, thereby giving the
workingmen of the state an opportunity
to receive their wages at the times the
law says they shall have it. The
hagrant violation of the state laws by
the mining corporations here deserves
the severest censure.

HIGHLAND DOTS.

A heavy cayein occurred in the old
workings in No. slope at this place on
Monday and the extent of the damage
done is not yet known. There is a
saddle in the vein and slope was sunk
on one side which was known as No. 5.
On the other side of the saddle another
slope was driven which was known as
"Cowbay" No. 8 slope had been
abandoned sometime ago and allowed to
fill with water, and it was here where
the cave took place. The fall, which
must have been tremendous, forced the
water out of the old slope over the
saddle and flooded the workings in
"Cowbay," covering a pump, and the
damage cannot be estimated Another
pump was brought from Jeddo and put
TO work. 1t is expected the water will
be low enough to make an investigation
today.
If somebody would remove the large
bank of clay and stones near the railroad
crossing, which obstructs the view of
railroad trains coming from Freeland,
they would confer great favor upon
the many people who are compelled to
drive by it almost every day. 1t is
very dangerous place and that some per-
son was not caught there before now is
a wonder.
Several of our young men provided
with all the necessary tackle opened the

1t is getting to be a favorite pastime
with some of the boys to throw stones at

MINES AND RAILROADS.

Engine 81, of the D. s. & s., arrived

1t came in over the Lehigh Valley tracks

Two more engines are expected this

Board of Health Appointed.

The council met in special session last
evening with all the members present.
The president stated that the object of
the meeting was to hear the report of
the street committee, who were instruct
ed to measure johnson street. Mr.. Neu-
burger, chairman of the committee, re-
ported having viewed the street in COM
pany with Councimen Mclaughlin and
Fritzinger but had made no measure
ments. He asked that the matter be
laid over until the next regular meeting,
when it will be taken up for final action.
The street commissioner was instruct
ed to lay pavement across the alley on
Front street, north side, between Ridge
and Centre streets.
President DePierro nominated the fol-
lowing gentlemen to serve as board of
health for the borough, and they were
confirmed by the council: DIR. f. Schil-
cher, five years; DIR. L. w. Rutter, four
years; d. j. Mccarthy, three years; A.
w. Washburn, two years; VIM. William
son, one year.
The bond of Rudolph Ludwig, as high
constable, with the names of Fred Haas,
William Williamson and himself as sure
ties, was read and approved. The sec
retary was instructed to notify the mem
bers of the board of health of their APP
pointment, and request them to name a

Coke or Ricketts,.


From the Philadelphia Record
simultaneously with the announce
ment from Washington that the old
Wallace wing of the Democracy of
Pennsylvania favors the nomination of
Eckly B. Coke for governor, the York
Gazette prints its ideal ticket. The Gu
zette says a correspondent has suggested
this ticket for "the splendid contrast it
would furnish to Mr.. Quay's ticket,
nominated in advance of the conven-
tom" Governor, h. Bruce Ricketts,,
Luzerne; lieutenant governor, Hannibal
X. Sloan, Indiana; auditor general, Ben
jamin Whitman, Erie; secretary of in
ternal affairs, j. Henry Cochran, Ly-
coming; congressmen-at-ar George F.
Baer, Berks, and George A jerks,
Jefferson. In this connection the Gu
sette editorially asks:
"Can anybody suggest better ticket?
If so, he owes it to the party and the
state to let us have it. We want the
best. If Philadelphia wants a place on
the ticket let her settle her divisions and
give some assurance that decent pro-
portion of the Democratic vote will be
polled in that city"
But over against this ticket headed
with ticket from Luzerne, is the quite
positive statement that the name of
Eckley B. Coke will be presented to the
state convention in June by the delega-
tion of his county, likewise from Lu-
zerne. Mr.. Coke might easily have
been nominated in 1882, if he had so
chosen. If nominated this summer,
many Democrats believe he would give
"the hero of Johnstown" lively run.
But it is not yet pretended that he has
consented to the use of his name.

More Trouble for Warden Jones,

Warden Jones, of the county prison,
case, though very rare one, is evident
ly made up on sound legal basis. The
court sentenced Austin Dando to pay a
debt amounting to nearly $400 to Miss
Isabella Cummings and sent him to
Jail until the debt was paid, but War
den Jones released him four days before
the term expired.
Dando, released from custody, was
legally freed from the debt, and Miss
Cummings has now commenced suit to
recover the amount from Warden Jones,
who, according to law, by releasing the
prisoner, assumed the responsibility of
the debt.

COKE FOR GOVERNOR.
1t Is Said He Will BE the Candidate of
the Democrats Next Fall.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
1t is stated in Washinton that the
name of Eckley B. Coke, the coal mag
nate and millionaire, will be presented
as candidate for governor to the Penn
sylvania Democratic state convention,
which will meet in June. 1t appears
that while Mr.. Harrity has been scratch
ing the surface of the state to find peg
that would fit this particular hole the
leaders of the old Wallace wing have
been engaged in similar pursuit, and
have hit upon this old-line Democrat
The name of Mr.. Coke will be presented
formally, it is understood, to the con-
vention by the delegation from his
county of Luzerne.
Under ordinary circumstances there
would be a tower of strength in the
name of Eckley B. Coke. He has been
mentioned in connection with the guber-
material nomination several times, and
could easily have been nominated in the
convention of 1882 had he consented to
allow his name to have been flashed be-
fore the delegates.
Among the Democratic congressman
from Pennsylvania Mr. Coke is thought
to be the strongest man the Democrats
could possibly trot out against the "hero
of Johnstown." No man stands higher
in the business circles of the state than
he, while he would be able to rally to
his standard powerful interests, control
ing large bodies of voters. His political
record is as clean as a sheet of paper
fresh from the mill, so that the mana
gers of the campaign would not be COM
PEELED to defend the candidate with a
shotgun or steel pen. There is the
greatest interest here among Pennsyl-
yania Democrats as to whether Mr..
Coke has really given his consent to 90
into the contest at this time.
