Indignant Over a Reported Increase of
Beneficial Fund Dues.
Since Thursday last the miners and
other mine employees of this district have
been condemning with some spirit an
alleged notice that the P. & r. c. & 1. Co.
will add 25 cents to the amount deducted
each month from the wages of en-.
ployes as payment to the beneficial
fund. II is also said that the company
proposes taxing two cents for each tool
sharpened. The fountainhead of the re-
port cannot be located and officials of the
company say they no nothing of
the existence of such notices 1t is
more than probable that the re.
ports were started by some idle gossip.
II do not think the company will meddle
with the beneficial fund" said a we'll
known official when spoken to on the
subject, "because at the present rates the
income is much greater than the outlay,
although / should not be surprised if
some reforms should be attempted. The
way some people, especially those of the
foreign element, abuse the systemIis
shameful. There are men who throw them
selves upon the fund when they sustain
the most trifling injuries and they stick on
it for the full six months limit Yes, they
furnish physicians certificates, but-well,
there could be many restrictions without
injury to deserving benefciaries
The rates required to be paid into the
fund are 80 cents per month from all in.
side employees earning seven dollars a
week, or over. All earning less than
seven dollars pay 30 cents. Outside em-
ployes earning ten dollars and over per
week pay 40 cents per month; those earn.
ing from seven to ten dollars pay 80 cents
and all earning under seven dollars pay
10 cents

BEATEN WITH
BLACKJACKS
Brutal Assault That Almost Ter
minated in Murder.
A COLD BLOODED AFFAIR.
Three Men ASSailed the PROSTATE Vic
tim While a Fourth Prevented
Interference With an Axe.

There was an atrocous assault in the
First ward yesterday that almost termin.
ated in a murder. For several hours after
tn occurrence the victim remained in a
precarious condition and his assailants
are now under heavy bail. At about four
O'Clock yesterday afternoon man rushed
into Justice Toomey's office and told the
official that a man had been killed in the
house of William Chmielewski, on East
Centre street.
Deputy Coroner Manley was sent for
and in company with Constable Matt.
Giblin he went to the house designated.
1t was found that the condition of the
victim had been exaggerated, although
he was in a very bad condition. His head
and face had been beaten into pulp and
he seemed on thn verge Of dissolution.
The victim was John Benesloski. He was
found on a bed on the second floor of Chin
elewski's house. DR.. Hamilton was called
He dressed the injuries and succeeded in
bringing Benesloski around sufficiently
to enable him to tell his story. Deputy
Coroner Manley decided to take state
ment. The victim stated that he was
lying on the bed on which he was found
when Joe Yukofski, William Riskalis,
(alias Roach,) Joe Jamaitis and another
man known only as Joe, and who has not
been found, entered the room and com
menced an assault upon him with bla ok
jacks. They beat him into insensibility
and then left. One of the assailants
stood at the entrance to the bedroom
with an AK in hand to prevent any inter-
ference with their bloody work
Upon the statement of the victim
Justice Toomey issued warrants and
Yukofski, Riskalis and Jamaitis were ar
rested. The man Joe" escaped. The
prisoners were committed to the lookup
in default of 81 900 bail, each, but subse-
quently furnished the security and were
released. They protested that they were
innocent and denied all knowledge of the
crime.
Benesloski was delirious last night, but
to-day was reported much improved and
his chances for recovery are now good.

MISPLACED
A SWITCH.
A Train Load of Passengers in
Danger.
NONE ARE SERIOUSLY HURT
The Engineer was Disabled by the Shock
and a WOman'S Teeth Were LOOSened.
The Guilty Party Escapes.
NONE ARE SERIOUSLY HURT

There was an accident on the Lehigh
| Valley railroad, near Packer No 4
colliery, Saturday afternoon, that only
the Intervention of Providence prevented
! from proving disastrous. 1t was the re
suit of au act Of some guilty person who
| succeeded in avoiding detection.
Passenger train No 237, drawn by
engine No 6l2, left here at 1:4O O'Clock
Saturday afternoon for Ashland with a
train tull of passengers, most of the m
being women bound for the Packer col
ieries to collect the wages due their rela-
tives. As the train approached Packer
colliery No at lively rate of speed it
was suddenly thrown from the
main line to side track. The
engineer quickly reversed the engine and
applied the air brakes, but before the
train could be stopped it forced the en-
gine against an empty gondola. The
train stopped so suddenly that several
passengers were thrown forward from
their seats. One woman had a lip split
and several teeth in her lower jaw loos-
ened by being thrown against the back of
the seat in front of her. Several others
were bruised, but none of them seriously.
The crew made an inspection and found
the gondoia badly wrecked and the
engine disabled. The pilot was demol-
ished and Que of the steam chests was
knocked off. An engine was sent down
from Delano to take its place
The engineer of the train, AL. Dent, re
mained at his post until the train was
stopped by the collision. In consequence
OF this he sustained a shock that has
caused him TO discontinue work for few
days
An investigation has convinced therail.
way officials that the misplaced switch
was due to pure maliciousuess, but no
clue has been obtained to the guilty
party. The local freight and accommoda.
tion train passed the switch half an hour
before the collision without mishap.
Within the brief interval somebody
turned the switch and escaped without
detection. The only people about the
place at the time the accident happened
were those on the train. Several of the
women became hysterical when the train
crashed into the car.
1t is remarked as a coincident that the
same engine that figured in this collision
was badly damaged on the 5th inst. by
running into the rear end of a working
mans train at Tamanend. The engine
was sent to the Delano shops from whence
it was turned out only four days ago
after repairs made necessary by the
Tamanend collision.
