and will try log hauling this summer
Quite number of the Hccla Company
employees we're in attendance at Circuit
Court last week, as witnesses in an import
ant case of breach Of the pence.
Muscle and nerve as we'll IS skill is neces-
sary to make good ball players, so you can
look out for a good game so far as the boys
who work in the mines are concerned.
The First Avenue Coal nine at Evans
vile, has been ordered soil by the receiver
on June 4th, 1896.
Mr., Thomas N. Black, representative
of the Atkinson & Co, coal dealers at Hen
derson, made Darlington brief visit last
week.
Not only is Secretary Bailey, of the
Reinecke Coal Company hustler in the
coal business, but as leader in the Hop
kins county Sunday school association he
has few equals
Secretary Geo. c. Atkinson, in company
with several of the ST Bernard Coal Com
pany force, visited the Wild West show at
Evansville last Saturday and all admit
that George is the right man to take them
around to see the sights in a great city.
Messrs Caviness and Unstead having
completed their job of pipe laying at Daw-
son will this week take few days of recre-
alton up on Green River fishing, but wisely
for them they have made no contract for
the fish they catch, but may have engaged
some from the fishermen on the river to
bring home.
Mr Thomas Whitford, who has been in
charge of the masonry work at the new
Empire mines, says that the work is fast
nearing completion, and that the new
hosting engine is in position, and work on
the foundation for engine for the electric
motor win soon be commenced.
Quite a serious accident occurred at the
Sebree coal mine last Saturday, and the
facts as we have been able to gather them
are that there we're several miners at work
in the mine, when the roof which is said to
be rock one fell in. catching one of the
men under it and seriously if not fatally
injuring him by the crushing Of his limbs
and body badly. Whether or not the acci-
dent was one Of the kind that sometimes
occur when the greatest precaution is used
or one due to carelessness in failing to put
in the necessary timbers TO support the
roof. we are unable to say. 1t does often
happen at the first opening of a new mine
by company composed of men who have
had no experience at mining, that incom-
petent men are put in charge therefore en-
dangering both men and property, but we
cannot say that such is true in this case.
1t is thought that the mine will be idle for
several days, or until the falling roof can
be removed and other necessary repairs
made
The Uniontown Telegram has this to say
regarding the opening of new coal mine
at that place: THE Uniontown Coal
Company is progressing and il is hoped
will soon have the full amount of stock de-
sired, and contracts for sinking one or two
coal shafts will soon be let out to the low
est bidders and then Uniontown will
speedily get upon the up grade TO prosper
ity and business advancement.
A member Of we'll known English
shipping firm writes to the ST. James Ga
zette to say that it is within the knowledge
that German coal is actually being shipped
TO England, This further instance OF the
competition which Germany is making is
certainly startling the Britishers. The
correspondent has it on the best authority
that charters have been concluded to bring
Westphallan coal from Deisburg. Hoch-
felt or Ruhrort on the Rhine to London.
The German State railways carry coal for
export at nominal rate and the carriage
thus saved acts exactly as bounty on ex-
port. And German miners earn S265 a
year where British miners earn s3S5, The
British miners need Protection from cheap
German labor. .-EX
