FArRNONT INDUSTRIAL.

Fairmont. W. Va. May S.-A cut
went into effect at two or three mines
in this section this week, which reduced
the price Of mining 212c car. 1t is said
this had TO be done TO get contract,
and the men tell your correspondent
that work is what they want At Mon
ongah things are no better. Three
DAYS work there this week is all. At
the Clark mines they load car occa-
sionally. but work does not amount to
anything. At West Fairmont the men
work several hours each day, but are
making small wages.
The slackness of the coal trade is now
being felt here TO a great extent. There
are many businesses which will prosper
if our miners can get steady work. The
men for the most part seem to be rec
oncued to the hard times, although an
occasional kicker is found.

Mr.. BILLiN0S DENIES N.

In confederation Of what was said In
the Evening Post yesterday as to the
weird story Of the Daily Fake concern
Ing the proposed advance In the price
OF gas under the law permitting the
gus companies to consolidate, G. u. X.
Billings, the President Of the Peoples
Company, which was to be responsible
for the raise, says:
"There Is no foundation for the story
that the consolidated company will In.
crease the price of gas. There has
been no such intention. On the con-
trary, we have made concessions that
mean great saving to the public. We
are making connections and putting In
service pipes without cost ana have
waived the deposit for meters. There
Is n general agreement that 81 Is fair
price for gas. We are now In posi-.
ton where we can run our business on
n purely commercial basis, just the
same as big dry goods house. We
shall try to do the best We can to win
public patronage and hold 1t. The time
may come that we can make money by
dropping the price to 90 cents ana In
creasing the business. II 1t does we
will make the reduction"
And so another story Of the Daily
Fake goes aglimmering. Verify, the
lines of New York yellow Journalism
do not fall In soft places In Chicago

CHiCA0O'S filthy ALLEYS.

There Is no form of delinquency In
the public service that II not more easy
to overcome and pardon than that In
volvcd In neglecting the vigorous en-
forcemcnt of the contracts for cleaning
the alleys In the city. Dirty streets
may offend the aesthetic taste of the
people; filthy alleys menace the life Of
the unsuspecting citizens.
The fact that the men who are under
contract TO remove the garbage from
the rear OF residences have to he called
to account for their neglect, while re-
ports Of unsanitary condition of the al
lcys fairly dcluge the office of the de-
partmcnt of health, shows that there IL
something wrong somewhere. From
the facts rs presented 1t would appear
that both the contractors and the In
spectOrs have been exceedingly remiss
In their duties, which has called for an
earnest protest from the people.
There are many forms of disease that
have their origin In filth and become
epidemic In no other way than from
unsanitary conditions within or sur
rounding the dwellings, and nearly all
of these zymOtic maladies are bred
from the decaying garbage that Is al.
lowed 10 accumulate and rot In the al
leys of the city. Typhoid and other
fcvcrs, smallpox, measles and many
other dreaded diseases have their orr

To prevent the spread Of these spO.
radio affections the city undertakes to

garbage Il permitted to accumulate the
blame must he placed upon both the
contractors and the inspectors In
charge Of this branch of the municipal
work. To call In and threaten the con.

This il especially the case now when
the citizens have. by their complaints,

byways. Let the health department
warn It's inspectors. as we'll as Its con.
