while they may resemble the signals
that miners are wont to give by rapping
on pillar, they can be readily ex-
planned by the fact that very similar
sounds are made by "squeezes," as ev-
cry miner knows.
The rescuers have gained about for
ty feet since Friday night which is
the average progress made since the
descent of the slope was begun. AS
they have over $50 feet yet to go before
reaching the foot of the slope. it can be
seen that there are still many days of
weary waiting for the bereaved rela-

the remains Of their beloved ones that
they may give them Christian burial.

SAD FOURTH OF JULY.
1t was the saddest Fourth of July
that Pittston has ever known. There
was no canNonading and only few
thoughtless persons set off any fire
works. The only celebration was the
one conducted by the Bicycle club,
which held parade and races in West
pitfcfnn which thny ha1
not postpone on account of the great
expense to which they We're put. How
ever, to show that it was through no
lack of consideration or sympathy they
did not put oft their meet, they Will
turn over 25 PEI cent. of their profits to
the relief fund.
This fund is growing steadily, and
promises to reach most liberal propor-
tions. The committee which is to have
1t in charge will meet at the board
of trade rooms in Pittston this after
noon, for the purpose of organizing,
when a treasurer is elected and people
from abroad see that there is a proper
and authorized custodian for the money
will be received.
Representatives of the different coun-
ellis of Young Mems institute of this

lection among the members for the re-
lief of the families Of the Twin shaft

ture: let humanity have its place in our
thoughts as weli as In our dOings: let
the law OF Christ teach US not TO abuse
things OF this world which are given 10 IL
by the lord.
There are secrets In connection with
mining life that should be made known to
society, 80 as to feel the right value Of his
labor We know that the miner has his
faults as well as other workmen; he
knows that himself. We believe that ne
would be on a higher stand today than ne
Is II he had been more faithful to himself,
to his master and to the laws of ad-
vancement. But after all the miner of
today deserves ana is worthy of more
praise for his service to society.
The great need of our days in regard to
mining is to bring the miner and his mas
ter into a closer understanding with each
other. Good humanity should be of great
value in the sight of the owners of mines
to chose their officers to look after the
miners in their collieries. Men of educa-
tion are blessing, but, when education
and good humanity are combined in the
same officer he is a man to be proud
Of and as a rule he keeps the master sat
isfied as well as the people who are work
ing for him.
NO PLACE TO DRIVE MEN.
The mines is not place to drive and
force people to do things at the first
thought. Man that is regardless toward
man and his rights should not have charge
of mines, because he lacks in one of the
greatest qualities to such position. A
manly man should be of great value In
the sight of those good people that are
giving out their wealth in behalf of their
fellowmen. The state pays great
amount of money to those officers appoint
ed for inspecting mines; does it pay? is Il
question that comes often to my mind.
After an accident the officers are to be
seen. but what about them in the proper
time, are they of some use? A mine that
gives an output of 1000 tons of coal daily
for one month without being visited dur
ing such time by an inspector seems to me
a very wrong thing. How could a man in
such strangeness to the working TESTIFY
to the safety of the mines?
The miners in general should be inter-
ested in the prosperity of their masters.
and should endeavor to keep up with good
laws to that end. Masters and the work.
ing people are great losers of money by
frequent accidents of the mines, to be
sure; it comes more upon the workmen
because their lives are taken away and
their families are great sufferers. Moth
ing can pay better to the company as well
as to the people that are at work than
management according to law. The man
that has no regard for law should not at
any time carry the name of master, nor
should he have his freedom to enter into
the mines as common miner. Lie,
O, what a dear word, how We love It,
what can be of greater honor than to give
man the best chance to live.

HEARING TAKES PLACE TODAY.
ScrantOnianS Go to MOrristOWn in
the Train Wrecking Case.

the Train Wrecking Case.
The crew of Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western train, No. II, were sum-
moned to go to MolTistown, N. j.,
today to attend the hearing of John
Vzras, the Polander charged with at
tempting to wreck that train near Dow
er, N. j., six weeks ago last night.
1t will be remembered a switch was
turned, and the frog jammed with cob
BILE stones so that 1t was almost GER
tain terrible accident would have
occurred had not the engineer saw the
cobble stones in time to stop the train
before reaching them. AS the emerg-
ency brake was applied the conductor
of the train jumped to the window to
look ahead. and as he did he saw man
standing between the tracks, his fea-
lures clearly revealed by the light from
the car. When it was discovered what
the trouble was ahead a search was
made for the man whom the conductor
had seen, but he was nowhere to be
found Quarter of an hour later an
other train encountered a switch that
had been tempered with less than half
a mile back from where the first at
tempt had been made.
Detectives were on the scene in short
order and before three hours had
passed this Polander, Vzras, was ar
rested on suspicion. He was found
stalking around Dover, and as he had
switch grease on his hands the de-
tectives thought best to hold him. The
next day Vzras with thirty-nine other
men, some Of whom were countrymen
of his. we're arranged in a room in the
Morristown Jail and the conductor of
the train was ushered in to see If he
could identify any of them as the
man whom he had seen from the car
window. He unhesitat!ngiy selected
VZias as the man.
Vzras is supposed to be demented by
the authorities.
