The Work OF FoOtpais.

Hazleton, Pa, April 12-Andrew
Murnar died at his home near Jeddo
this morning, the result of injuries in
hicted by brigands. When going home
Monday night he was attacked by two
masked men, who proceeded to relieve
him of his watch and other valuables.
He resisted and they beat him into sub
mission, smashing his bones and club
bing him about the body. To complete
the job his assailants threw him into a
mine hole, where he was found next day.
He has since recovered sufficiently to II
what happened him, but could not iden-
tify his assailants. The officers are now
working on the case and believe they
have clue TO the perpetrators.

THE alarmists who are warning the
American people against the cheap man
ufacturers and cheap labor of Japan,
says the Philadelphia Record, are very
careful to deal in generalities. They
tell us that labor is cheap; that men and
women work for ten cents day, and
that their wages are paid in silver; but
they omit to state, what is the fact, that
in all manufacturing operations in ia
pan it takes from ten to twenty opera
tives to accomplish the work of one
American workman.
The captain of vessel lately unladen
at Philadelphia said that, having OBJ
tanned permission to take on coal at a
Japanese port not usually visited by
foreign craft, he was astonished to find
that when the coal barges were brought
alongside his vessel FIVE hundred men,
women and children were set at work
in gangs of fifty, to transfer the coal by
the most primitive meaDs-passing smsl

There appears to be a great demand
in England for California redwood, and
while in California the wood is very COM
mon and is used for building fences and
barns, in England it commands fancy
price. Last week ship took aboard at
Oakland cargo of more thar 1,OOO,-
600 feet of redwood, and another ship
WAS preparing to take on an even larger
load. The shipments were novelty
and speculation, and if they bring
good returns the California lumbermen
will have a new avenue of profit opened
To them.

INTERSTATE emigration still continues
to a considerable extent, and there is a
constant movement of dissatisfied farm
ers from one region to another. Last
week forty families moved from the
country about Delphi, Ind, out to
North Dakota. At the same-time fami-
lies were moving from North Dakota to
the south, and the northwestern papers
print frequent paragraphs telling of per
sons leaving that region and of other
persons moving there. The circur,.
stances appear odd, but they seem only
to show that no one place is eyerybody's
paradise, despite the eloquence of the
land boomers.

FARMERS in the region about Fresno,
Cal, are almost in despair because of
the plague of rabbits. Although many
thousands of the animals have been
killed lately in one way or another. by
poison. by shooting, and in rabbit drives,
they do not appear to decrease in num-
bers- Thousands have been shot in a
day, but they come in from the esurround-
ing uncultivated regions to feast on the
grain fields in increasing numbers. Ii il
estimated that three jack rabbits will eat
as much grain as one sheep. A big
drive was held in February and many
thousands of rabbits were killed, but q
month later it was estimated there were
100. 900 on the same ground. Another
drive was held the last of March, but
already the rabbits are swarming in
egain.

COLUMBUS April 10 The United
Mine Workers convention will probably
conclude its business today. There are
no important questions To come before
it and no contest of any consequence
for officers. President p III. Penna of
Indiana has no opposition for rc-election
and w. G. Pearce of Ohio has no OPP
position for secretary treasurer TO sue
ceed Patrick McBryde. who is not d
candidate for re- election.
The scale question Is practically set
tied for the coming year by the Pitts
burg agreement The recommendation
of President Penna that the conventions
be held in December will probably he
adopted. This would give the miners
a better opportunity to take conServa
tive and intelligent action ON the scale
question, as all agreements date from
May | of each year. There are about
80 delegates, and nearly All of them are
wearing Mckinley buttons. There was
talk of a resolution to be introduced en-
dorsing Mckinley for president. but
this will hardly be done. A free silver
resolution will be presented by the COM
mittec on resolutions.
Sccretary-Treasurcr Patrick McRryde
in his report says the coal trade was
better prior to 1890. when this aSSocia-
ton was formed, than ii is now. The
value of coal on board the cars at the
mines for 1890 was 81 10. .420, SOL, and for
1894 the valne was 81, 16S, $50 less than
in 1890, although the product was
greater by Z, 400, 800 tons. This cOndi-
lion. So detrimental TO the miner and
operator. was caused. he said, by the
cursed system of the survival of the
fitteSt. Prior to 1890 Central PennSvl-
vania was represented in the national
mine workers. Now they are not here.
The two Virginias and their cheap coal
had much to do with effecting the
changed conditions. Formerly all their
coal went to the Atlantic seaboard To
day there is more West Virginia coal in
Chicago than Ohio coal, though the
former has to pass through Ohio enronte
to Chicago.
The financial condition Of the associa-
tInn shows debt of abOut 5000. with
81. 100 on hand Mr.. McBryde said he
expected to sec the debt of about 81 900
wiped ont before the convention ad.
journed.
Mr. McRryde and President Penna
i'm their respective reports iouching the
difficulties they encountered in trying
Ia get Pittsburg to agree TO condition:
favorable for increased mining ut better
prices in Ohio. Indiana and Illinois
sought to show that they ought not IL
hc ccnsured for failurc. Conditions
were aeain"t them. They had. they

The commissioners of Chester and
Delaware counties jointly decided few
days ago not to enforce the compulsory
education law for this year. The Ches-
ter county board few weeks ago pre-
pared to apply it, but when the question
as to whether the county or districts
were liable arose, not seeing their way
clear IN the matter, the commissioners
decided to ignore the act for this year,
or until something definite could be de-
cided upon regarding payments for the
taking of the census.

1t Gets j. Kennedy Into Various
Kinds of Trouble


j. Kennedy, whom the police call
well-known pickpocket, was arrested
last night by Officer Mccormick, in an
alley near the Sherman house, Fourth
and Sfbley streets. Kennedy had but
recently arrived in the alley, so recent
ly indeed, that Officer Mccormick, in
order to meet an appointment which he
had volunteered at the union depot
nao become very much out of breath
The meeting was impromptu to that
extent that 1t attracted large crowd
These people accompanied the officer
In MS progress to the trysting place
and yelled stop thief" and hi" and
made audible bets now upon Mr.. Ken
nedy and again upon Officer McCor-
mick. Kennedy had come from Mime
apohs on an evening train with Charles
Cohen, another youth, and had paused
IN the crowd at the station platform
long enough to observe several women
who had forgotten that they were car
rying purses. Kennedy is said to be
so thoughtful that he took charge of
the forgotten pocket books. While he
was thus obliging young woman
from LIE Sueur he attracted attention
not only to her pocket book but to him
self. kennedy, coming from Mime
apolls, Is coy before attentive young
woman. So he hurriedly Withdrew and
took, it IS said, the young woman's
purse. Then Officer Mccormick offered
an explanation and volunteered the
appointment which he observed three
minutes later. Kennedy was sent to
the central station and charged with
larceny. His friend Cohen. was sent to
the station later by Lieut. Sexton.
Both prisoners will discuss the en-
barrassing affair before Judge Orr this
morning.
