Crisis in the Great Strike in the
Anthracite Region Seems
to Be Approaching.
COLLERIES WILL INCREASE WAGES
Operators and Miners Are Playing for
Time aud Each Imagine They Have
the Winning Card.
The Bosses Assert They Have Made
All the Concessions They Will
Make - President Mitchell
Must Now Decide.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 6.-The crisis
in the coal miners strike seems to be
approaching. AS was stated in the
dispatches from here Thursday, both
sides are playing a waiting game, and
each imagines that it has the win
ming card up its sieve.
The statement of President Max
well, of the Central Railroad of New
Jersey, Friday in New York, that the
companies have made all the conces-
sions they propose to make bears out
the statement made from this city
Thursday that the companies would
offer no additional inducements for
the men to return to work.
All Operators VIII Give an Increase
The report from Scranton is also
significant. 1t as said that the in
vidual operators will all fall in line
and give their employees the ten per
cent. increase given by the big COM
panies. 1t is predicted that this
would be the case. A well-known
operator here Thursday said that
there was an understanding at the
meeting of the representatives of
the big companies and the individual
operators in this city last Tuesday.
according to the understanding the
notices of increase was not to be
posted all at the same time but grad
ually.
This part of the programme has
now been carried out The comDan-
les and nearly all the operators are
now. in line for ten per cent. in
crease.
1t is now up to President Mitchell
to decide what he is going to do in
the matter. If he delays action, with
an idea in view that he will make a
better offer, he is liable to delay a
settlement of the strike indefi-
nitely.

WIFE CANNOT SUE HUSBAND.
Judge HHrfan's Opinion on Mary
lands Married Women Act.

BALTIMORE. May SIN an opinion filed
in the Superior Court yesterday Judge
Harlan holds that Chapter 457 Of the Acts
of 1885. which allows married women to
sue and be sued as If they were unmarried,
does not permit married women to sue
their husbands The opinion is the first
written one constituting the law in ques-
ton.
In my opinion Judge Harlan says. re-
ferring to the question whether a married
woman may sue her husband. the act
does not give her this power. True it is
that the act is broad in its terms. Sec
ton is in the following words: Married
women shall have power to engage in any
business and to contract. whether engaged
in busiE.ess or not. and to sue upon their
contracts. and also to sue for recovery
security, or protection Of their property
and for tortS committed against them as
fully as If they were unmarried Con-
tracts may also be made with them. and
they may also be sued separately upon
their contracts. whether made before or
during marriage. and for wrongs indie
pendent OF contract committed hy them
before or during their marriage as fully
as if they were unmarried. and upon judg-
ments recovered against them execution
may ot ioSAGu II NlS1 were ulm2rrfel.
nor shail any husband be liable upon any
contract made by his wife in her own
name nor for any tort committed by her
out OF his presence without his participa-
ton OF sanction
Il imagine il will hardly be commended
that the Legislature could have intended
10 give the wife the power 10 sue the
husband if it did not give the husband like
power 70 sue the wife. and il seems 20 me
to be reasonably plain where the Legisa-
ture, in the latter part of the above sec
ton. said married women may also be
sued separately upon their contracts and
for wrongs etc, and then went on 90 ex-
empt the husband from liability for any
contract made by the wife in her cyn
name and for torts committed by her out
Of his presence, that the contracts and
torts in contemplation Of the lawmakers
upon which she was to be separately sued
were her contracts with and torts against
third persons
