New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1899-05-10

SEVERAL papers are terribly shocked
over the manner in which the negro in
Georgia was brutally punished and put
to death a few days ago and justly SO.
But their condemnation of the mob
would he tempered slightly perhaps
were they to think of the poor woman
who witnessed the terrible death of her
husband at the hands of the brutal negro
and afterward was pounded into unoon-
seriousness and suffered ihdignities
tat none but brutes will perpetrate.
New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1899-05-10

That 1lch Americans do some redicu-
lous things in their efforts to make their
money attract the attention they think
it ought to get is perfectly true; but
when Lord Roseberry had the bridal
procession at the marriage of his second
daughter to the Earl of Creve cinemato-
graphed as IT entered and as it left West
minister Abbey, he deprived the English
of the pleasure of rowing stones at our
glass houses. No American ever did
anything more shocking to good taste.

Changes at Honesdaie.

On Monday morning ii is expected
that between one and two hundred
men will be engaged at the work of
tearing down what still remains here
of the old Gravity and canal coal
wokrs and filling in the canal basin.
Since the Delaware and Hudson Off
cials were here the first of the week
and left orders to begin this work, Mr..
Muir has been engaging men and there
seems to be np scarcity. more than one
hundred applications having already
been received The wages to be paid
is $l.15 per day.
Surveyors have been at work the
present week running a line that will
change and straighten the track be-
tween the bridge that spans the Lacka-

Honeadalc. The new road will run
nearer the river and farther away
from the highway thar the old track.

D. & H, Mining Notes.

hhe Delaware and Hudson company
is getting almost as much coal from
its mines here now as it did when the
White Oak breaker was in operation.
Last Friday 9S4 tons of coal were pre-
pared for market and the averag'
daily output since has been quite near
that figure The best record of the old
breaker was 1923 tons and 1t is eX-
peCted that this will be passed when
the present plant is in perfect work
ing order.
The sheave wheel has been placed In
position and on Monday sixteen cham
hers in No. l mine began operations
This gives employment to about sixty
mon. The miners and laborers now at
work are doing remarkably well. They
can get all the mine cars they can
load. Three hundred chambers have
been getting ten cars during the past
week This is more than four-hand-
ed chambers had before the fire.
1t is remarkable that the employees
of the company will not miss one pay
day because Of the fire. TIE mines
worked six days in July for which
they were paid in August and they
worked the last week in August for
which they will be paid this month.
So the paYmaster has come as usual.
This is a remarkable example Of quick
construction for which Delaware and
| Hudson management deserves credit

WANTED ALL SAVED.

Christ was desirous of having the
sick healed and the transgressors or
dsobedient made right in His sight.
He was not willing that any should
perish, but that all should be saved
and brought to knowledge of the
truth
Christ is a sympathizing physician.
He careth for us with true regard.
He offers pardon and pes ce to all, Oh,
what a wonderful physician He is!
Christ, the great physician, gave His
life that we might live. He has suf-
fered to redeem us from the curse Of
sin and disease.
'In the epistle of James, Christians
are enjoined to pray in time of afflic-
tion. An excellent recipe for human
happiness. If any sick let him call for
the elders of the church; and let them
pray over him. amounting him with oil

The numerous wild-eyed statements
printed in some Of the local papers
about differences between the Lacka-
wanna company and its miners has
called forth tho following statement
from Superintendent T.. l.. L.0Omis;
Aug. "a 1899
Mr.. d. j Davis, chairman. Mr w. r.
Williams. Mr.. william Evans. Mr..
Patrick Lynch, Mr.. James s stevens,
committee.
Gentlemen: In response to yqtlr re-
quest during my absence for a written
answer to the different questions raised
in our recent conference, | can only re-
iterate what | said to YOU personally.
First-We can make no reduction In
the price of powder at this time. When
a change in the price Of powder is made
there must be a general readjustment
of mining rates to correspond. Good
miners receive q fair COmponsati ton for
the hours they work. and changing the
price Of powder without changing the
price of mining. simply means an in
crease in miners wages, which | re-
gret to say, we cannot entertain at
this time.
Second note you ask for a continu
ance of the standard Diamond car
with six inches topping at the tipplc.
AS stated to YOU personally, 1t is not
our intention to change the standard
car and we will endeavor to look after
the six inches of topping at tipple, as
you request find that during the
past fow "ears there have been some
cars made in which steel bottoms have
been used These bottoms will admit
providing the car Is loaded properly
with six inches of topping of a few
more pounds of coal. as the steel is
thinner than the wooden bottoms. As
| stated to your committee, the only
practicable way | can see to correct
this matter would he to ship all these
cars to one breaker and allow a proper
amount for loading on the Diamond
car basis. This We will try and do
eventually. but to ship away from the
different Collierics "A this time the steel
bottom cars they now have in use
would cripple some mines seriously
until we can get other cars to take
their places.
Third-In reference to smithing. As
stated to you personally. If we do not
have a sufficient number of black
smiths or are unable to procure men
competent to properly sharpen tools at
any of our breakers, miners will have
the privilege of taking their tools else
whore to he sharpened and no charge
will he made. but before doing so they
should notify the foreman so that il
possible he may take steps to remedy
the trouble, or straighten out his office
accounts so that duplicate charge
will not he made. II should be dis
tinctly understood. however. that un-
less there is a failure on the part OF
the company 20 perform prompt and
proper service the men will be expect
ed to have their work done by the COM
pany's hlaCksmiths as heretofore.
Yours truly,
T.. +. LoOmiS.

DIR. j. c. Bateson delivered an inter-
esting address last evening in the tent
of the Volunteers OF America, on the
corner of Adams avenue and Mulberry
street. He spoke on the topic, Christ,
the Great Physician" He said in part:
I'm examining the healing works Of
Christ 1t appears that there is not
uniform law that the sick should ex-
ercise faith, and that 1t was not neCes-
sary that their friends should exercise
1t. nor that either they or their friends
should do so.
sometimes the sick alone believed: (:
at others their friends believed and
they knew nothing about it: again
both the sick and their friends believed
and on some occasions neither the sick
nor the friends believed. No account
of failure on the part of Christ to cure
case can be found
Neither is there recorded any re-
lapse or the danger of such a thing,
nor any cautions to the healed not to
mind sensations, etc
"He restored thes swithered hand, not
by the slow process of change in the
circulation, and gradual change in the
nutrition, followed by structural alter
alton; but 1t was instantly made whole
like as the other.

the writ of injunction is invoked to
maintain it, found no firmer or more
fervid advocates and supporters than
in Idaho. And recently at Wardner, in
that state, there was a great and devas-
tating riot. This riot was an evolution
of a mining strike. 1t was promoted
and stimulated to frenzy by about eight
hundred union miners who demanded
the discharge of two hundred non-union
miners who had declined to strike. The
union miners armed themselves and
drove the non-union men into the noun
tains, killing one and mortally wound
ing another. Then these game and gal
liant patriots placed powder in plenty
