Thomas Hall, mine foreman, of Van
Meter, this state, read paper before
the Western Pennsylvania Mining Insti-
tnte on causes of mine explosion and
prevention of the latter lie classed
the causes as open lights, defective
safety lamps and careless blasting. and
added: safety lamps are BY no means
perfect and electric lights will probably
solve this problem" Concerning dangers
from blasting, Mr. Hall said coal dust
had become Il fearful element of danger
On this point he said: Explosions from
coal dust occur in the most carefully reg
alated pits where no gas or fire damp
can be detected. Coal dust becomes
most deadly in an explosion and is an in
visible enemy" In conclusion he asked:
What are the causes of mine explosions
and what are the remedies?" His short
answer to the last head was the prohbi-
tion of the use of black powder and every
explosive used for blasting that generated
sufficient heat to ignite fire damp or
start dust explosion.

Quick Work.

The fire department at the tannery

Nos. l and 2-and every Saturday
afternoon they are called out to drill.
The men are always at their work in
the different parts of the tannery, the
hose carts, &C., locked up as il they
were not going to be used for months
unless in case of necessity, and when
the alarm is given to call them out to
drill the companies are to see which
one can be ready for duty first. Last
Saturday Co. No. 2 got their hose out,
attached to the plug and were throwing
water on the building in "a seconds

Who Can Beat This I?

In this year Of our Lord, eighteen
hundred and ninety-fve, the potato
crop in this part of the country, at
least, has been the largest in-gathering
of 'murphies" for years, and the pota-
toes are generally of large size, but
the largest crop for the amount of seed
put in is reported from the Beechwoods
settlement. Jos. McClelland planted
five bushels of potatoes on Jos. Hutch
inson's farm and this fall he got one
hundred and sixty-one bushels Of pota-
toes from the five bushels planted. Can
any farmer in jefferson county beat this
yield of potatoes in proportion to the
amount planted?

Attacked Two Ladies'.

Al. Green, the young fellow who at
tackled and insulted two young ladies on
the Fuller hill early last summer and
was allowed to escape without punish
ment, attacked, insulted and roughly
handled two married ladies from Hop
kins mill who were on their way home
about five o'clock last evening. Green
was standing near the bridge at the
west end of the big cut below town, and
he caught one lady by the throat,
knocked her down and threw her cape
over her head. The other woman
screamed so loud that he got after her
and choked her and hit her in the
face. a track walker came to their as
sistance. Had only one woman fallen into
the villains hands it is likely he would
have accomplished the fiendish act at
tempted. Both women went home with
bruised faces and black eyes. BY the
way their faces were cut Green must
have had something in his fist when he
struck the women. A warrant was is
sued and given to Adlesperger and he
found Green under coal car near
the company store. He waived hear
ing, was kept in the lookup all night
and was taken to Brookville Jail this
morning. Such chaps are not safe TO
run at large.

About a dozen women OF this place
have accused F. p. Adlesperger to his
face of having mentioned their names
as being the woman dressed in black
who raised a little excitement among
some of the people of this place several
weeks ago. Mr.. Adlesperger says he
has not mentioned the name of the
guilty woman to anybody yet, notwith.

Some of tho women who claim their
names have been mentioned, talked
very Indignantly to Nightwatchman

Walked to Reynoldsville.

About four o'clock one afternoon last
week five dust-covered weary ladies stop
ped at the Ross House and engaged two
rooms and after shaking the dust off
their feet and clothing and using a
generous supply of water, they stretched
their weary bodies on the beds and en-
joyed an hours snooz and were greatly
refeshed thereby. They then repaired
to the parlor and one of the ladies
played the "two step" on the piano for
the other ladies to try and see If their
feet were as active as they had been in
the forenoon of that day. The ladies re-
ferred to were Mrs. John w. Reed, wife
of the Judge of this county, Mrs. Sallie
Rodgers, Miss Ida VanVleit, Misses
Carrie and Jennie jerks, all of Brook
vile. 1t is likely these ladies have
been reading of the "new woman" and
concluded they would do something
unusual and would climb all the hills
between Brookville and Reynoldsville
just for the novelty of it.
The ladies remained at the hotel
until the S.48 train arrived in Reynolds
vile and they got sail aboard" for the
return trip which was made in consider
able less time than it took to walk to
Reynoldsville. The ladies will walk to
Clarion some day soon, II they have moi
already made the trip. This is certainly

Within a few weeks Reynoldsville

The third was Miss Martha Waite,
daughter of Robt. Waite and sister of
John Waite, our county treasurer. She
was married at her home in the pres

last Thursday at 600 o'clock p. NJ, to
Rev. Samuel Il. Hines, pastor of the

THE SUSPENSION ENDED.
Miners Resume After Almost Seven
Weeks Idleness,


Miners Resume After Almost Seven
Weeks Ideness.
After q suspension OF seven weeks the
mines at this place were started up yes
terday morning at the same rate for
mining as was paid at Big Soldier,
Sprague and Henry mines before the
strike, 30 cents per ton. The men
working in the Hamilton mine at the
time of the suspension were only get
30 cents per ton and the other men
thought it was the "hand writing on
the wall" which indicated that IL would
only be matter OF short time until
all would be reduced TO the price the
company was paying in Hamilton,
which the company was pleased to term
charity work. The men in the employ
Of the b., L. & Y. G. M. Co. were the
first in this region to quit work and the
last to resume work.
A mass meeting was held In the X. of
p. hall at 900 A. NJ. on Monday Of this
week at which meeting committee
was appointed to wait on the company
officials and inform them that the min
ers would resume work at 35 cents per
ton II there was no discrimination made
and that all the men could resume
work Following is the answer given
to the committee, which was signed by
s. B. Elliott, manager OF the b., L. &
| Y. G. M. Co.:
1.-THE right Of man to work or not
work for whom he pleases should not be
questioned, and the right for one party
to employ or not employ one whom he
| pleases stands on precisely the same
grounds of justice and liberty. AS this
company does not demand that anyone
should work for it who does not want
to do so, 1t claims the equal privilege of
having none work for it whom IL does
not want, and this right cannot be sur
rendered. The exercise of this right,
however, will always be controlled by
due regard for every just and equitable
consideration"
A meeting was held Monday after
noon to hear the report of the committee
appointed in the forenoon to wait on
Gen. Manager Elliott. The report was
accepted and as above stated, the men
resumed work yesterday.
According to ''an allegory" published
in the Dubois Courier yesterday morn
ing, signed by w. B. Wilson, some
one who pretended friendship for the
miners has betrayed them for a few
paltry pieces of silver. Mr.. Wilson
calls the fellow mongrel and says he
''possess the combined evils of a Cain,
an Esau, a Judas and the cur dog that
licked the sores of Lazarus and fed up
on the crumbs that fell from the rich
mans table" A man who would pre-
tend friendship for laboring man, or
any other man, and sell him out for a
little gain, is deserving Of the vilest
epithets that can be heaped upon him.
And especially in case when the bread
and butter of the miner and his wife
and children are depending on the out.
