HIGHLAND DOTS.

While John Smith was moving to
Eckley on Tuesday before he got out of
town the horses which were hitched to
the loaded wagon became excited and
attempted to run away. Every effort
was made by the driver to quiet them,
but they only became worse. Finally
they made a dash and broke away with
the two front wheels of the wagon and
reached Freeland before they were
captured.
The rain this week kept the firemen
at the collieries pretty busy. There are
so many mine holes that the water from
the surface rushes into the workings in
torrents and the pumps have all they
can do to keep the water low enough to
allow the mines to work Should much
more rain come it will cause the col
lieries to go idle.
Theo. Wackley, an experienced miner
employed in No. 2 slope, was severely
burned about the hands and face on
Tuesday. A spark from his lamp drop

Charges Against Attorney Hcrring.

The censors of the Luzerne Bar Asso-
citation were in session on Tuesday to
investigate the charges of unprofessional
conduct against Attorney Samuel Her
ring, preferred by Attorney James NJ.
Morris, of Pittston. The charges are
that Herring conspired with Attorney
Mccormick, his partner, and Eugene
Meyer, for the purpose of extorting
money from Professor Baldwin, and that
he acted unprofessionally in presenting
legal paper to Judge Rice that had
previously been presented to Judge
Woodward. The censors, John T. Len
ahan, Frank Wheaton and S. j. Strauss,
met and examined the witnesses. At
torncy Herring was defended by G. L.
Halsey, E. A. Lynch and Charles Nc

Six Miners Badly Burned.

A terrific explosion of gas occurred in
No. 2 shaft of the Susquehanna Coal
Company at Nantcoke on Tuesday
morning. Six Polish miners were burn
ed about the face and hands. The
names of the victims are Waddick Coz
dicki, Stanley Kenhenskey, Marian
Kenoshy, Frank Kopchisko, Stanley
Zwrof and Simon Mackewtz. 1t is
believed the two latter will die. The
accident was due to the carelessness of
some one who left door open along the
gangway at the head of a plane. Along
this gangway there are a number of
blowers of gas in the roof, from which
the gas comes quite freely and quanti-
ty gathered near the roof owing to the
the change in the air current. About
7.30 o'clock eight men came along the
gangway with naked lights and one of
them lit the gas. They sat down to
watch the play of the fire thinking
there was no danger. When the gas
came back only two of them had fore
thought to throw themselves down to
escape it, and consequently the other
six were burned.

A Decision on Wages.

A decision handed down by the SUI
preme court this week settles question
with regard to collection of wages
claims concerning which the courts of
Lackawanna and Luzerne counties have
held opposite opinions for years. The
case began in Lackawanna courts, be-
tween men named Futchy and Lutz.
The latter owed Futchy money for
wages earned and Futchy to obtain it
attached the wages due Lutz as an en-
ploye of the Scranton Traction Com
pany. Judge Hand, when president
judge of that county, decided in a SINH
lar case that wages could not be attach
ed for wages. Judge Rice, of this coun-
ty, is on record with contrary opinion
on the same question. Judge Edwards
ruled the FutchyLutz case by the
Hand decision and an appeal was taken
to the supreme court, which has sus-
tanned Judge Edwards decision and
thereby laid down the doctrine that
wages cannot be attached for wages.

ately: Crate, chestnut and egg, So. 35,

Private Detectives Will Be Employed.

An important order has been promul-
gated by the county commissioners to
the effect that all offers of rewards for
the arrest and conviction of parties
committing crimes in this county be
withdrawn. These rewards amount to
about So, 500 and are in the Reick case,
the Arabian murder and the mountain
dynamite tragedy. 1t is their intention
to employ private detectives to work
upon the most important crimes and it
said that the Barring De-
tective Agency has already been engag-
ed. This agency has worked up the
Reick case and has arrested several
young men charged with the crime.
There is too much work for the county
detective to do and the commissioners
will hereafter use their discretion in
employing private detectives for the
greater crimes.
