INJUNCTION MADE PERMANENT.
Judge Gunster Hands Down His
Opinion in the Mine Case.

Judge Gunster yesterday handed
down his opinion in the Richmond
mine injunction case, deciding in favor
of Mine Inspector Roderick, by maxi
ing the temporary injunction perma-
nent
Inspector Roderick claimed that the
Elk Hill Coal and Iron company, which
operates the colliery in question, vio-
lated the mine law in working men at
mining coal for market in Dunmore
No. vein, which has but one opening
and in not keeping the second opening
from the upper or Clark vein fitted at
oil times with proper and safe appli-
ances for escape, the particular COM
plants in this respect being that a
bucket was used instead of a protected
cage fitted with guides and dogs"
that the bunting was in bad state of
disrepair and that steam was not kept
in the boilers and no engineer was kept
at hand to hoist men through this Sec
ond or safety opening in case of an
emergency.
The company contended that it is
making a second opening from the
Dunmore vein, and that the law per-
mits it to work as high as twenty men
even at mining coal during the progress
of the cutting of the second opening.
AS to the absence of a cage in the sec
ondary shaft, the company explained
that the bucket is only to be used while
the repairing of the damaged bunting
is going on. In relation to the keeping
of steam in the boilers constantly and
an engineer always on hond. the COM
pany maintained that the law did not
strictly impose this very apparent
hardship and that the court in it's dis
cretion could be justly applicable to
the case in hand. The colliery in ques-
tion is such small one, it was con-
tended, it could not be profitably work.
ed if the strict reading of the law as
contended for by the inspector was in
sisted upcn.
Judge Gunster's opinion covers six
teen type written pages. 1t is epito-
mized in the following excerpt, with
which he introduces his findings and
conclusions in detail
In the present case the enforcement
of a compliance with the law will no
doubt make the defendants mine less
profitable, but il will make it also cor
respondingly more safe. The question
Of profit is not a factor in the case; the
question of safety, is; and unless the
defendants carry on their operations in
such manner and with such appli-
ances as the law directs they must not
mine at ALL"
BY a modification of the opinion pre-
viously made, the company is per-
mitted to work men on the second
openings and this work is now being
pushed forward with due haste.

PERE MARQUETTE'S FAME.
Assailed by a Bigot Who Plainly
Never Read Parkman.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Ii, 1898.-The
question as to the right of Father Mar
uuette to figure as a leading actor in
the history of this country has arisen
again in connection with the fact that
a picture of Marquette sailing down the
Mississippi is borne on the one cent
Omaha Exposition stamps.
A correspondent of the Post Office De-
partment recently wrote that he had
made search to ascertain what claims
Marquette has to the distinction thus
given him. with the result that history
showed him to have been a foreigner and
a Jesuit but not marked as a man OF
note either in literature or science. In
formation was asked as to what his great
merit was.
Mr.. John P. Merritt, Third Assistant
Postmaster General has written a letter
showing why the design was adopted. He
says that the object of the promoters
and managers of the Trans Mississippi
Exposition is to give expedition to a
commendable pride on the part of the
inhabitants to the progress of their sec
ton. and to demonstrate its growth and
anything pertaining to the men who were
most conspicuous and helpful in blazing
the way to these sections, and laying the
foundations of civilization, IS fraught
with great interest It may be claimed.
he says. that Marquette did not discover
the Mississippi, but, like Americus Yes
pueci, he continued the explorations and
America is named after the latter.

tered into or influenced the selection OF

A FAMILY FEUD.
All the Parties Bound to Keep
the Peace, But the Fight
Keeps On = City
Dragged In.

There is a feud between the Bergen and
Mcguire families of Seventeenth street
Hoboken. A week has not elapsed re-
Gently that some members of either family
has not appeared before Recorder STAN
ton. The feud dates back about three
months, when Mrs. Annie Bergen caused
the arrest of Mrs. Mary Mcclure on a
charge of atrocious assault and battery.
Mary, it was alleged, hit Annie with a
hatchet Mary furnished bonds to keep
the peace. A few days later Mary ap-
peared in court as complainant against
Annie, whom she charged with assault
and battery with a balestick. Then Annie
furnished bonds to keep the peace.
Both women being bound to keep the
peace or forfeit their bail were afraid
to renew hostilities. Then Tommy Bergen,
Mrs Bergen's ten-year-old son, took up
the cudgels for his mother by sheing a
fiat iron at Mrs. Mcclure. Tommy was
promptly arrested and required TO furnish
bonds. The following day Mrs. McGuire's
thirteen-year-old daughter Katie. with
half brick, hit Mrs. Bergen's pet
rooster, Dick tanning the pride of the
Bergen household. This resulted in a gem
eral scrap. and all hands, in a more or
less dilapidated condition. appeared be-
fore Recorder Stanton. Charges and
counter charges were made and some tan
swearing was indulged in. Finally the
Recorder bound every member Of both
households to keep the peace.
The McGuires are peddlers. Yesterday
when Mr.. Mcguire attempted to drive his
wagon into his rear yard he found that
the passageway had been blocked by an
overturned truck. Mcguire consulted
Counselor Let's with view to having
the obstruction removed. Although he
was positive that the obstruction was due
to the Bergen family he could not prove
it. Counselor Let's looked up the law,
found that Seventeenth street was duly
dedicated and notified Street Commits

The Street Commissioner did not move
quickly enough to suit Let's, and the NC
