The p. & r. clerks at Pottsville
are preparing rate of wages for the
miners next month which is about
the highest ever paid out III the an
thracite region. The various in.
creases granted during the recent
strikes and the percentage added by
sliding scale will make Reading
wages 80 percent above the $3.50
basis in force prior to 1900.
The lead made by Judge Mcclure
in Snyder county, when he quashed
a panel of jurors, because it had been
illegally drawn, and his further de-
termination to take hand in filling
the wheels, is bearing good fruit.
In a number of other counties in the
state where the work has been care
lessly done, the judges have taken
the matter in hand. Last week all
three of the common pleas judges of
Schuylkill county assisted in filling
the jury wheel for next year, and a
special effort has been made to Sc
cure a larger proportion of response
bic citizens for jury duty than have
heretofore been secured in that coun-
ty. In late years it has been found
next to impossible to convict Glasses
of criminals in that county owing to
the characters of the jurors drawn.
The judges have endeavored to inn
press upon the jury commissioners
the absolute necessity of a radical re-
form in selecting the names for the
jury wheel. To what extent these
efforts have been successful will pro.
badly be known next year, when
the new jurors are drawn.
In some parts of the state there is
an agitation in favor of an entire
change in the present system OF, Sc
lecting jurors. 1t is held by many
that jury commissioners should be
selected by the court instead of
elected by the people. The present
system is certainly not success in
some counties. Whether or not any
other system would be more nearly
free from the evils now complained
of is question which time and ex-
perience alone can demonstrate.
Certain it is that in many counties
the jurors are not selected from the
classes that are best fitted for jury
duty.

JOHN D. LONG CRITICALLY ILL
The Ex- Secretary of the Navy In Boston

Boston, Jan. 30.--Former Gov. John
d. Long, secretary of the navy UNI
der President Mckinley, as well as
for some months under President
Roosevelt, is critically Ill at st. Mar
garet's hospital in this city. Last
night three physicians were at his

suffering from catarrh Of the blad-

of the consulting physicians, who
has been the family physician for
nearly 80 years, was sent for last
night, and on the way to the hos
pital said: "After Mr.. Long went to
the hospital a disease analogous to
the grippe set in and this had effect
upon the kidneys. There was for a
time danger from ursemic poisoning.
Mr.. Long has been mildly delirious
for some days, recognizing members
Of his family only at times"

Worst Wreck Ever Experienced BY

A. SCORE OF PASSENGERS INJURED.


Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. 30.-One OF the
worst wrecks the Pittsburg Railway
Traction company has experienced
since its organization occurred last
night. A score of passengers were
injured and two cars were destroyed.
Traffic was stopped for several hours.
Eight victims are in the hospital.
The others were taken to their
homes. A car on the Homestead
branch was on its way to Pittsburg.
Just as it passed Forward avenue it
struck huckster's wagon. After 60
ing some distance 1t backed up the
hill to see what damage had been
done. Just then it was met by sec
ond car coming down at terrific
pace. When the collision occurred the
trolley wires were crossed, causing
fire, which completely consumed
both cars in the wreck. Fortunate
ly all of the injured passengers were
taken out before the flames reached
them.

TIE CABINET MEETING.
The Question Of Mest Serious Importance
That Game Before II Yesterday Re-
lated 70 venexuela.

Washington, Jan. 31.-All the mem
beers Of the cabinet were present ct
yesterdays meeting, Secretary Moody
having returned from his brief vaca-
ton. The question Of most serious
before the cabinet re-
lated to Venezuela. The action taken
in congress for the strengthening OF
the coast defense Notifications and
the improvement Of the naval and
military establishment generally was
referred to and cordially approved.
No answer has yet come from the
allied powers to Mr.. Bowen's last
proposition. The British ambassador
sent long cablegram to Lord Lans-
downe stating what might be expect
ed in case Great Britain and her two
allies insisted on the preferential
treatment for the blockading powers.
It informed the foreign officer that
Minister Bowen, in the event of
refusal of his proposition, would call
upon the representatives of the other
claimant powers in Washington and
state to them that Venezuela was
being forced by the triple alliance to
yield to a plan which would affect
seriously the interests of France,
Belgium, Norway and Sweden, Spain,
Denmark, Holland and the United
States. There is reason to believe
that the French government already
has sounded the United States gov
eminent to learn how much in COM
mon there may be between their inv
terests in Venezuela. 1t is said that
there is strong resemblance be-
tween the claims of these two ma
tions, perhaps enough to link them
together in resistance to any policy
on the part of the allies which would
tend to destroy or impair those in
terests. For instance, the United
States, through regular tribunal,
the Venezuelan claims commission,
has secured Judgment against Venez-
uela for a considerable sum of money
which Venezuela has been paying in
installments.

CAUSED BY LIGHTNING.
Il Started Fire Which Caused IN Expio-
sion In the Niagara POwerhouse Which
Crippled Many IDdustries.

Niagara Falls, N. Y, Jan. 31.-F1re
which started by the explosion of one
of the big transformers in the power
house of the Niagara Falls Power and
Conduit company destroyed thou
sands of dollars worth of valuable
machinery and will mean great loss
to most of the big factories here.
The officers of the company ad-
mitted that the situation was Sc
rious and would badly cripple the
many plants depending upon Niagara
Falls power, not only in this city but
in Buffalo, Lockport and Tonawanda.
The trolley lines in Buffalo which get
their power from Niagara Falls were
badly crippled but by the use of stor-
age batteries number of lines were
operated although only limited
number of cars were run. A number
of plants were without light and
power. Twenty of the rs factories at
Lockport, N. Y, were shut down ow-
ing to the fire. The newspaper plants
ana SmhlleT IHcbOTlcS WOAO Ae'S, "iAA
the street car service was at stand
still except one line. The fire was
caused by bolt of lightning which
struck a cable with defective insula-
ton, causing a short circuit which
blew up the transformer in the pow
er house.
w. B. Rankin, of the Niagara Falls
Power company, said that the early
reports of the damage were exagger-
ated. A full complement of power
for Buffalo was sent at noon AND
most of the local users were fully
supplied.
At $3.50 at night the temporary re-
pairs were completed and the cleo
trical famine along the Niagara from
tier was practically at an end.

Fe tracks to the Pacific coast. This
will probably blot out the plans of
both roads for rebuilding heretofore
proposed New Mexico opposition

CRASHED TOGETHER.
TWO rRlIBNEB on FREIGHT KILLED.
Several Persons on the Passenger Train
dors or Less injured-Ths Chair Car
Set on Fire By Goals from
the Firebox.

Hazletou, Pa, Jan. 31.-The fast
express train from Wilkesbarre for
Philadelphia on the Schuylldll valley
division Of the Pennsylvania road
collided head-on with freight train
yesterday evening near Lofty, nine
miles south Of Hazleton. The engi-
neer and fireman of the freight train
were killed, the engineer and IRE
man and the colored porter OF the
passenger train were severely hurt
and seven passengers were slightly
injured. Between Hazleton and Lofty
there is single track which is used
by both the Lehigh Valley and Penn
sylvania roads. Through misunder-
standing OF orders both trains got on
the single stretch of track and be-
fore the engineers saw the danger 1t
was too late to avert the collision.
The locomotives came together with
a terrific crash. The freight engine
leaped over the top Of the express
car and plunged into the chair car.
The passengers in the car were hurled
in every direction. The hot Goals
from the frebox set fire to the chair
car and it was destroyed in q short
time.
A relief train was sent out from
Hazleton and the injured were
brought to the Hazleton hospital. It
il said the engineer of the freight
train had an order to take a side
track and allow the flyer to pass, but
failed to reach the siding before the
passenger train arrived.
