FOUR CRUSHED TO DEATH.
Another Terrible Accident at the Luke
Fidler Mine.

SHAMOK1N, Pa, Jan. Z. While four
workmen were being lowered into theme
shaft of the Luke Fidler mine the "billy," "
which balances the elevator and which
weighs about 1000 pounds, fell upon them
without warning. They were instantly
killed, their bodies being crushed so hor-
ribly as to make them unrecognizable
The victims were; James Merritt, aged 25
years, leaves widow and one child; Stephen
Merritt, aged 2S, leaves widow and one
child; Patrick Lynch, aged 33, single;
Peter Bobert, aged 23 leaves widow and
one child. All resided at Springfield, Pa
The men were engaged in sinking the
new shaft, and were hoisted to the top to
eat breakfast. An hour later the two
Merritts, Lynch and Bobcrt stepped into
the shalt bucket and were being lowered
into tho workings, but when the bucket
had descended about 800 feet Engineer
Brown noticed jarring Of the rope and
Immediately stopped the machinery. The
workmen on top found that the bucket
was no longer attached to the wire rope,
and they rugged up another bucket and
were slowly lowered to the bottom of the
shaft, where they found the other bucket
splintered and the mangled and bleeding
remains of their four ill fated comrades
scattered over the rocky floor.
All of the poor fellows were dead. The

with request that he offer no resistance

he desisted.

NIr. Gorman Goes To Girardville.

Thomas +. German, who for the past two
years has kept a saloon and restaurant at the
corner of Main and Coal streets, is about to
retire from business here and return to the
scenes of his earlier successes in Ginrdville.
This announcement will be Il source of sur
prise as well as regret to many of our towns
men and all will join in wishing prosperity
when he returns to his old field of pursuit
Mr., German has been one of our most
prominent and worthy townsmen and has
won reputation as a caterer of exceptional
ability. 1t is the knowledge of this that
makes the announcement rather unwelcome,
but Mr.. German has personal reasons for a
change of location and his most intimate
friends feel that he is justified in taking the
step. The people of Girardyille will be for
tunate in having Mr.. German return to their
town, as it will be an assurance of giving
the town a first-cass hostelry, and all towns
are open for such additions. Mr.. German
has proven himself very popular host dur
ing his short stay here, and his departure
will be regretted deeply by his many friends
who wish him unbounded success in his new
venture.

DID you ever notice that if there
is a socialist in the neighborhood
he is generally the most shiftless
fellow in the vicinity? The trou-
BILE with this class is they want to
do everything through the govern
ment, whereas, American institu-
tions teach that everything should
be attained through individual ex-
ertion. The man that stands
around and makes his friends very
tired talking about the money
question and the impeding labor
troubles, generally has rails piled
in his barn door for a shutter, and
his wife and children get the wood
and make the garden. What they
want is for the government to sup
ply them with the necessaries of
life; they want the government to
make their clothes and bake their
bread, and now and then issue to
them direct something like $50 per
capita in free silver, free gold or
free greenbacks. Time was when
this class were all foreigners, edu-
Gated in other countries, but now
we have a home brand that is
about as bad as the foreign.
