ferred by the present law.
The new law deals with MANY minor
matters that the old one did not embody
but which the law of nature and COM
mon sense require observance upon the
part Of man. There are many things in
1t that could have been consistently
erased, covered as they were by the gen
eral principles of the law. These of
course made it larger and to the super
fetal observer more important, but add
not the slightest to its import or useful
ness. | had heard and read so much
about Its Importance and. Improvement

1t for granted that such was true, not

under this impression, and while knew
that the miners had found 10 benefit

this to the Inspectors failure to enforce,
as of old, but when upon the Inspector ;
report of violation of the law the Grand
Jury looked into it and pronounced 1t an
improvement on all previous laws, and
at the same time complimented the In
spector, l thought it passing strange, in
deed, for under the law of 1898 the
Grand Jury, in face of such complaint

likely considered it an acknowled5 mcnt
of inability upon his part and proceeded
to effect his dismissal as required by the
law. These circumstances, regardless of

the one which it repealed, and with the

4 Delicate Question.

The repeal of the coal tariff for even one
wear. to our mind is an obstacle Ill the way
of busy season as unsurmountable as II
was expected.-LonaConing star.
This raises a nice question of response
bility for ian independent paper with
republican leanngs' to solve.
1t is understood that Senator Nc
Comas voted for repeal.
Senator Wellington was absent, but
in an interview with the Baltimore N""
said he was Opposed to repeal ." Gc-
count Of the btnmino"s prori$'o" and
would vote against it.
In the House Col. Pearrc was paired
in favor of the bill.
All three are from the only mining
district and two from the only mining
county in the State.
The question is-wnich most com
pletely misrepresented his party and his
mining constituents-the Senator who
voted for repeal, the Senator who was
list agoin' to- vote agn'"St 1t but dIdn t,
or the Representative who, favoring re
peal, agreed to disagree negatively with Il
colleague who was opposed to 1t:

Railroad Wreck.

G. G.. LaRue, writing from St. Anne,
ILL.,, encloses "a report of IA railway
smashup, written by Il railway boy
after he had become "a newspaper man.
l believe You and your many learned
readers will enjoy it The ''report''
follows:
The engineer perceived the other train
coming about twenty yards distant and I'M
mediately reversed his injector and slapped
the damper over the top of the smoke stack,
but the force of the smoke and steam COM
ing out SO fast pushed the engine ahead.
When the two engines hit they made Il
conglomerous racket.
In the passenger engines boiler the kerr
funk was twisted and damned into the
kertlibber so that the spiral spring that kept
the boiler stiff let go with an awful wang
and smashed the klamtOOllc, and the engl-
neer, in jumping, was hit by the piston
valve which had become cntangled in the
handle of the eccentric spout and his right
ley was broken above the left knee.
The fireman jumped over the sand ,uirt-
er and escaped without injury.
The other engine got her front end bat
tered in but as all the smoke got out when
the front damper back of the number plate
was busted, she could not blow up, but her
pumps kept ON going and she coughcd out
il great deal of fire and rcd-hot cindcrS
through the safety-valve until the fire be-
came wasted and she got cool.
Both the engineer and fireman jumped
after throwing out the oil-can, coal-shovel
and a monkey-wrench, and their prompt
action saved the company great loss in en-
CINE implements, as the oil-can and shovel
would have been all smashed to smltherecnS.

moved from its former location, across the railroad, to its present commodious quarters in the new I. O. o. F. hall and has been equipped with the latest and best machinery for doing the finest laundry work that can be turned out any place, and has demonstrated that it can turn out the work and in as large quantities as may be wanted and in the shortest time that this work can be done in any laundry, the business of the laundry has simply gone ahead in bounds and leaps. This is evidenced
 by the fact that when the laundry was in its old location one wagon could handle all the work that the place could turn out. Now since it has been moved up town, new and up to date machinery installed, expertspeo- pie put in charge of the machinery, the firm has been compelled to put on two more delivery wagons, making three in all, the working force has been more than doubled and the bus mess has increased nearly three fold. All this has been done in less than one year. This certainly is a striking example of what pluck and hard work will do in Prescott.

AT RIPE OLD AGE.
Charles Sines, Father of Geo. w. Sines, Passes Away in
 Pennsylvania.

Geo. W. Sines received a telegram
 this morning announcing the death of
 his father. Charles Sines, at Edge
 Hill, a suburb of Philadelphia. He
 says he does not know the exact age of
 his father but he is pretty we'll along
 towards ninety years old. He states
 that he died where he was born, hay
 ing resided there all of his life and he
 does not know of his having been out
 of the state more than once or twice in his life. Deceased is surviv- ed by his wife and five children the former being of about the same age as
 her husband. An illustration of the longevity of the family is given in the fact that the aged couple have five children all of whom are still alive, the death of the father being the first one in the family. The oldest of the children is over sixty years old and the youngest over forty years. All except Geo. W. Sines, who has resided in Prescott for about twenty five years reside in the immediate vicinity of their birth place. one of the sons be- ing practicing physician in Phila- delphia and Charles Sines, jr., the next one younger than MT.

MAYORS ADDRESS.
Wants Harmony in Council, But Makes No Overtures for
 Conference.

The little speech delivered by May or Burke at the last meeting of the city council and the subsequent col loquy between him and members of the city council, as taken down by a stenographer taken to the meeting by him, follows:
 Gentlemen of the Council:
 At the last meeting of the common council, submitted for the consider ation of the council, the names of some gentlemen that 1 asked to have appointed to offices, and the council. in their judgment. deemed it advis- able not to confirm any of the ap- pOintments that 1 made.
 l certainly have the interests of the City of Prescott at heart, 1 want the assistance of the council. and fully realize that the council and mayor must work in harmony and without unit We cannot expect to handle the affairs of the city in the interests of the taxpayers. 1 had no personal mo- tive or desire from a selfish standpoint when 1 submitted any of the names of the gentlemen l asked to have ap- pointed; it is true, l did not consult with any of the members of the coun- cil with reference to the appoint ments that 1 asked them to confirm l did not intend to be discourteous to the council and | thought that from the time 1 was elected to office up to the time l assumed the duties there of, that if the council had any sugges- tions to make, that l would be glad and willing to listen to the expres- siOns of the council. but no sugges- tiOns were offered. 1 was thrown upon my own resources and from that. l had the right to believe it to be to the best interests of the taxpayers of the City of Prescott that change in some of the offices would be to the best interests of the taxpayers.
 Insofar as the city attorney is con cerned, if in the judgment of the council, it is not advisable to select or confirm the appointment of Mr Norris. whom 1 believe to be a gentle man of int gritty, honesty and ability. with the consent of the council I will submit another name. but l want to have an expression from the council as to whether you will confirm the appointment of the gentleman I will name before you vote upon it. Iwant nothing but harmony, as 1 said be- fore we cannot progress in the up- building of the city of Prescott with out harmony between the council and the mayor. l am ready to proceed.
 At this point MT. Mulvenon inter- rupted the mayor in his address by asking him to name the gentleman he 1 intended submitting for appointment as city attorney.
 Mayor Burke: Mir F. E. ElIin- wood is the name of the gentleman |
