DURlNG the past SIX years
there have been 1902 homi-
cides. In the same time
there have been 1,118 lynch
ings and722 legal executions.
From these figures it will be
seen that the total number
of those legally executed and
lynched amounts to 1910. As
Stunning that the number of
murderers equals the num-
Der OF persons killed, it is
evident that 1862 did not
expiate their crime on the
gallows. Granting that so
per cent. of the homicides
we've justifiable, there would
still be 21 OBJ who shed man S
blood, and escaped with their
lives. Because Of the fact
that the administration of our
criminal laws have fallen into
disgrace, Judge Elliott An
thony has been moved to say:
"Our methods of procedure are
vicious, and our criminal practice
still worse. The rights of the de-
PENDANT are regarded as supreme,
while those of the public are almost
entirely disregarded and ignored.
The history of crime is interviewer
to a greater or less extent with
every government, and will always
be the most momentous question
with which the human race has to
deal. 1t is the great problem of
civilization.
lie who has no thought upon it
has thought little about humanity,
and he who has not paid some at
tention to the criminal law of his
country has not received a liberal
education.
1t ought to be administered with
intelligence and enlightenment, but
it is not. The great effort seems
to be to involve every investigation
of crime in a network of subtleties,
artificial distinctions and down
right bubbles, shut out all the in
eliminating evidence possible, then
decide the case on some technicali-
ty.
There is dissatisfaction every
where throughout the country in
regard to the methods adopted and
the course pursued by our courts in
dealing with the violaters of the
law, and it is but little wonder that
the people in some of the oldest
portion of the republic have at times
become exasperated at the trifing
and juggling which are allowed, and
have .wreaked summary vengeance
on thugs and assassins, to the dis
grace of civilization and the age in
which we live.
Public rights seem to be held in
much lower estimation than private
rights, and as between the living
and the dead there is no equality |
We cannot hope for Il more
stringent execution of our
laws until there is change
IN public opinion. AS long
rs wrong is condoned so long
will laws passed for the
preservation of human lives
be disregarded.

rot think he was in any way response
s'ble for the catastrophe

ing to answer a charge of disorderly
conduct preferred against him by Hugo
Ritter, the young Christian Endeavor

and Hatfield. John C. Inwright was his
counsel Fay was defended by ex-Judge
Puster, who had on hand to Offset the

sellors Robert Carey and James Donelan,
Matthew and Oscar E. Krieg.

ed OF Fay swearing at Ritter on the
steps Of the Court House, and following
him, using language too vie to be pub
Iished The complainant and his wit
nesses told Identical stories, but the wit
nesses for the defendant could recollect

Dire WOE.
Slow Work in Clear Spring
Colliery Less Hope
Than Ever.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, June 80, 1896
There is no change in the situation at
the Inflated Twin Shaft mine this morn
ing. It is now believed that the scheme
to work an entrance into the mine from
the Clear Sprins colliery will be fail
ure, many unlocked for obstacles have
been encountered.
Work, however, will not be abandoned
until the last ray of hope is gone. The
rescuers at work in the shaft are making
progress very slowly. AS fast as new
timbers are put in the roof settles The
work is dangerous and attended with
many risks and the men are frequently
compelled to retreat in consequence of
falling rock and earth There are indi-
cations this morning of the entire sur
face caving in, the water having made
it soggy. This is where the greatest
danger lies. Should there be general
settlement of the roof all hope of rescu-
ing the entombed men would have to be
abandoned. Experienced miners say
there can be no further speculation
about the matter If the situation regard
ing the inside workings is as described.
Superintendent Law said this morning
that the company would continue its
work of attempted rescue of the victims
of the disaster. The situation he adj
mitted, seems critical and a crisis will
probably be reached In the next twenty
four hours.
Another large crowd gathered about the
shaft this morning. among them many
relatives of the men imprisoned in the
shaft. The wives of O'Brier, GilIdea.
Gordon, Martin and Carbon have not
slept since the disaster occurred. and
they cannot be induced to leave the
scene.
They continue to weep and wall for
their loved ones.
The appeal sent out by the Board of
Trade of Pittston is already meeting
with general responses It Ii expected
that the whole country Will llend aid. The
families of all the men,, with the pos
sible exception of two, are in destitute
circumstances Most Of them are bur
dened with large and helpless families
and relief will be required at once. The
names of two others who are in the
shaft and not given before are Patrick
Bohan, single, thirty-two years of age;
James Costello, forty years old, wife and
three children
This morning many Of the rescufng
party We're engaged In tinnbering the roof
at the foot of the shaft, In order to make
the area around the shaft ais secure as
possible. Props are still being unloaded
at the mouth of the shaft and the
scenes about the place present ghastiy

HENLEY. June 80, 1s96.-The Yale crew
were out on the river as usual this morn
ing, and practiced starts with Trinity
Halls second crew. In minute and a
half dash Yale led the Trinity Hall boat
by three-quarters of a length. Trinity
Hall rowed from the start to the Fawley
Court boathouse in 3:39, at a tllirty-six
stroke. The Yale men did not row for time,
though they made some short stretches
at high stroke. The New College and
Leander crews, like the Yales. did not
row for time. The Yale crew afterwards
picked up the Trinity Hall second and
Dublin University crews for half a mile,
at the finish Of which Yale had a good
lead.
Included in the list OF invita-
Eon I'd tns garden party which
the Yale men will give on Thurs
day are all CT the crews who are
entered in the race for the Grand Cha1-
lenge Cup. an the Duke and Duchess of

ent Americans are also invited. The guests
will be entertained with music and reci-
