BROAD AS IT SEEMED.

Lawyers In this city were interested yesterday in
the opinion Of the United States Supreme Court on
divorce cases. handed down Monday. and par
ticulary in the statement that divorce is not
valid when the persons divorced residents
of the State In which the decree is granted. A. II.
Hummel. who gave some time to a study of the de-
cison. said
The opinion does not require tina. both parties to
divorce shall be actual residents OF the State in
which the decree is granted. The plaintiff must be
4 resident of that State. of course but IL the de-
fendant Is represented in the proceeding TO
be within the Jurisdiction of the court the divorce
will hold good. A divorce legally contested and
granted in North Dakota. for instance. will hold
good in New-York. The new decision does not
affect divorces in which both parties suit are
within the jurisdiction of the granting the
decree.

Work on the Spike Mill.

Work is progressing rapidly upon
the plant of the spke-making industry
which Timmes & Hecht have brought
to this city and are establishing in
Keyser Valley. When complete the es-
tablishment will consist of five build
ines, but up to date work has only been
done upon two, the spike and rolling
mills.
Their foundations We're built by Con-
tractor Muldoon and are now finished,
so that Mulhern & Judge. who have
charge of the superstructure. have al
ready begun operations. Large guam
titles of lumber are on the grounds,
and work is being given n strong i'm
petus. AS soon as the spike and roll
ing mills have been completed. work
Will begin on the other buildings i. O..
the galvanizing mill, the warehouse
and the office. The rolling mill is the
largest of the three structures, being
100 feet by JOG, while the spike mill is
70 feet by 1O0 The galvanizing mill
will be 30 by l25, and the waSehouse so
by 100. The office will be GO feet by St..
The establishment will have a capac-
ity for an annual output of 10000 tons,
and will pay 100000 in salaries.

None of the liremen. coal beavers and
laborers who struck AT the South mill
OF the Iackawanna Iron and Steel com
pany returned to work yesterday, but
their places were filled by substitutes
and all work went on as usual about
the premises. Superintendent George
Barnard stated to "a Tribune man that
all the vacancies were satisfactorily
filled, tiremen and beavers being taken
from the laborers' ranks.
The latter's wages are from thirty to
forty cents lower than those paid heav-
ers and firemen. and the laborers in
many cases were therefore most will
ing to take the places. superintendent
Barnard declared that the work was
not interfcred with to any extent after
Monday afternoon. both Monday night
and all yesterday the mill being in full
blast. None of the strikers appeared
about the mill. nor was there any effort
TO prevent by violence the substitute
fremen from attending to their duties.
Local No. rs, of the International
Brotherhood of Stationary Firemen.
Yesterday issued warning to all organ
lied labor aflilia ted with the Federation
of Labor to see to it that no man in
their ranks shall in any way assist the
men who took the strikers places. The
local claims that the mill tiremen are
the poorest paid in the state. and their
demands We're fully justified.

To Instruct Young Mine Employees.

National Committeeman Frederick
Dilcher and District Organizer r. A.
Hourtright last night attended and adj
dressed meeting of the Holden local.
held at odd Fellows hall. Taylor. The
object OF the meetings was to fully
instruct the breaker boys and younger
help regarding the duties OF their posi-
lions. 1t is thought that by this
means refusals to obey oredrs, through
misrepresentation will be done away
with and many petty strikes avoided.
The necessity of this was evidenced
in the strike at the Prospect colliery,
Wilkes Barre which was last night
settled. a series of meetings of this
nature has been arranged throughout
the district.
