Health Matters.

County Health Officer Bratton
was in St. Augustine Friday after.
noon investigating the death of a
cOlored child who died without any
physician in attendance. The officer
stated that many deaths have here
tofore occurred in the First and
Second districts of which he could
get no record until the burial per-
NIT law went into effect. It is his
intention to enforce the new law SO

tricts that the loss of life from in
fictitious diseases is greater than il
should be there, as the section is
one in which the public health
should compare favorably with any
other part of the county. The only
cases of typhoid fever now in the
county are one in Elkton and one
at Blldwin's Bank. hig.

A We'll Buried Horse.

One of Isaac Riale's horses which
he keeps in Saml. Hambleton' s
stable, got loose in the stall last
Sunday and broke through the
planks over an old well in the
entry. The horse pitched head

of about 80 feet, and soon expired.
AS the well was dry and partially
filled up it made as good a grave as
could be dug, so few bushels of
lime were thrown in and the well
filled to the top.

sliding Scale an Old Institution.

POTTSvILLE, Pa. Oct II. = The
Reading compnny's sliding scale which
Is to be suspended. has been In opera
tion since 1875. When coal brings 50 60
q ton when sold to purchasers at Port
Carbon and schuylkiil Haven, near here
miners are paid fixed price for coal.
For every three cents below 50 50 one
per cent Is deducted from that price. For
every three cents ton above, one per
cent Is added. Five collieries are drawn
monthly to fix the average price OF coal
and with that average the percentage Is
adjusted. For three years prior to 1875
the mine workers had q representative
on the board to draw up the collieries.
After a six months strike in 1875 the
miners association went to the wall,
and consequently no one has since been
sent to represent them when the month
ly drawings took place. Henca the
sliding scale became very unpopular
with the miners. and demand was
made for It's abolishment. At present
the wages are per cent above the ba-
sis. the month before they were neither
above nor below. Sometimes the per
centage has been as much below the ba-
ais as Il to Is per cent.

EXPRESSION OF SURPRISE

Convention-Mitchell Silent.

Convention-Mitchell Silent.
HAZLEToN, Pa. Oct. 1.-THE news
from Philadelphia that the Philadelphia
& Reading Coal and Iron Company,
after q conference with officials of 9TH
er mInlrg companies. mad agreed to the
anthracite miners proposition, as set
forth in resolutions adopted In conven-
tion last Saturday, brought forth many
expressions OF surprise that 1t should
come so soon after the convention.
President Mitchell. OF the United Mine
Workers Union, when informed OF the
Reading company's action by n repre-.
sentative Of the Associated Press, was
pressed for 4 statement on this accep
ance Of the miners proposition. All
he would venture to say. however, was
that he would be glad. Indeed, to know
that the anthracite operators had de-
cided to change the notices previously.
posted so as to comply with the prov!-
slons Of the resolutions adopted at tho
Scranton convention.
MIR. Mitchell declined to say whether
the union would let the men return 10
work at those collieries where the opcr-
ators had accepted the miners PROPOSE
tion before all the companies had fall
en- into line. 1t Is generally behaved
that the h!g coal carrying railroads that
milne coal will quickly follow tha Rcld-
Ing company, and grant acceptance OF
the proposition. and that all other op-
orators will do the same.
