THE INVESTIGATORS.
The Legislative Committee at work In
Hazleton This week.

HAzLEroN, April 23.-Tho Legislative In
vestgatine Committee which has so far
failed of its object, began its sessions here
yesterday morning in the parors of the
Central Hotel. There were two sessions
held, in the morning and afternoo' aud
were devoted mainly to quizzing witnesses
from Dnfton Fifteen in all were heard,
principally foremen, but nothing could be
learned from the latter as to the cost of
mining while others denied that destitution
prevailed
D. j. Mccarthy, superintendent of the
Cress Creek Coal Company at Drifton, was
considered the star witness. He refused to
state the cost of mining or the rate paid per
ton, and the committed failed to get any in
formation from hinl, although Representa-
tive Roberts put the witness through a rigid
crosse examination The bosses claimed to
receive on an average of 81 10 a day and
knew Of no destitution. Patrick Major, a
miner at Drifton, earned SPLIT during the
past two weeks and had no complaint to
make
Peter O'Dounell, an engineer, told the com
mittee that he worked full time and drew $40
and $50 every two weeks. Dominic Kelley,
sworn, said that he was entirely satisfied.
Alonzo WoOdring, a carpenter at Drifton, had
nothing to kick about and knew of no desti-
tuition. John /. Fowler, blacksmith was
perfectly satisfied with 49, cents per hour,
and wanted no more. Peter Hoberg, another
Driftonian, had nothing to complain about
James Devan, foreman at the same place,
said that he knew of no persons being in need
Of the necessaries of life. Thomas Ferry a
Lehigh Valley miner, swore that he had seen
things better and also worse, so he had moth
ing to complain about. No company store,
do doctor bill if he didn't want it, and
fair price for cutting coal
At the afternoon session the witnesses were
all employees Of the Lehigh Valley Coal Com
pany, but little information of benefit to the
committee was CLEANED. They could not
account for the rumors that destitution ex-
isted, and nearly all testified that there was
no destitutiou.
The testimony of these meu, however. was
shattered by E. J Brennan, of McAdoo, a
school teacher. He net only made a capital
witness, but so convincing were his state
ments that the committee decided to 90 TO the
South Side this afternoon, make tour of the
homes of the miners and see for themselves
the destitutiou that really exists Mr.. Bren-
nan was not afraid to tell the committee
what he knew about the condition of the
underground workers. His assertion that
only those who are steadily employed were
selected to testify, was true in every sense.
The committee will adjourn this afternoon
and go to their respective homes They will
resume their investigation next week, prob
ably at Shamokin
