TRADES uNloSlsM AND IT'S PERIL.
BY Clarence 8. Darrow. of chicago

Many men who have been organized
into trades unions do not understand
the movement. Many think 1t is an in
strument of power. Trades unionism
of to-day, which, with its army of
workmen, seems SO strong, so invinci-
bic. may dissolve as quickly as the old
Knights of Labor or other movements
that have passed away. 1t owes its ex-
istcnce to public oponion and without
that support cannot last or accomplish
any objects. 1t will dissolve unless 1t
becomes identified with some great

Representative Fred T. Ikeler, of
Columbia, won the Democratic en-
dorsement for Speaker in the CAUCUS
of House Democrats Tuesday right
in the judiciary general committee
room, defeating Representative j.
w. Mayne, of Lehigh, by vote OF
26 to IS. Ikeler had the support of
the members who objected to
Mayne's ultra-anti-fusion views and
of those subject to the influence of
State Chairman Greasy, who is per-
sonally at odds with Mayne.
Colonel J. M. Guffey, who
was here to-day, announced that he
was taking no part in the Speaker
ship controversy, but the Mayne
people accuse him of having assist

of other officials made an examina-
tion about S o'clock. They reported
that the settling had ceased. The
workings which caved were in the
uppermost of the worked out veins.
The timbers. it is explained by the
company officials, supported thin
roof of rock, which in turn supported
strata of quicksand and gravel extend
ing TO the surface. The timbers
rotted, the roof gave way and the
qujcksand sifted through, carrying the
gravel with it.
The water mains broke and a tor
rent of water poured through the
aperture and down a forty-hve-foot
plane which has its heading just at
the point where the roof broke
through. Not until all that was above
the area of the old workings which
caved in had been sucked into the
opening and down the slope did the
settling cease. Fortunately for the
company, the surface ceased cracking
nlnety-feet from the river bank. Had
it reached the river the mine would
have been drowned.

State to Build New Bridge Over
Susquehanna.

The State Board of Property has
decided to build new bridge over
the Susquehanha at Lewisburg, autho-

without delay, and the plans will be
drawn at once. The bridge will be
about 1900 feet long and will be con-

ments.
The construction of this bridge has
been advocated for years and the bill
for Its construction, which was passed
in 1861, is the only one which puts
construction of state bridge into the
hands of the Board of Property. The
other bridges have been built under
the direction of the Board of Public
Buildings and Grounds.
Recently the County Commission
.ers of Union and Northumberland
counties appeared before the Board
and urged the building of the bridge
over the Susquehanna.
The Board of Public Buildings an6
Grounds will let several bridge con
tracts during the coming year. The
plans for some of them are being
drawn.

Puts Life into His Wooden Arms.

Writing better with wooden hand
than most men can with their natural
hands, George Hunlock, of Danville,
has seemingly injected life into his
artificial arms.
When Hunlock lost both arms I8
years ago, while employed as a brake
man on the Delaware, Lackawanna
& Western Railroad, he resolved that
this misfortune would not spoil his
life work. Then he accepted a posi-
tion as watchman on the Railroad
street crossing, at Danville and few
years later procured two artificial arms
models of modern mechanism. BY
the mere motion of his shoulder where
the arms were attached, he soon learn
ed to control the limbs first in simple
motions and then in eating, lighting
his pipe and swinging lantern.
Recently Hunlock attempted writ
ing, 1t was SLOW and tedious work, but
several days practice soon gave his
penmanship character and finish.
Mr.. Hunlock is still employed as
watchman at the Railroad street cross
ing. He is a genial, whoe-sonled fel-
low and has many friends.

DISASTROUS MINE GAVE. IN.
Five Buildings Engulfed- Thrilling Escape
OF $50 Men.

One of the most disastrous cave-ins
that have occurred in the history of
Lackawanna Valley, took place at
the Eddy Creek Colliery, Olyphant.
Friday afternoon.
About 8 o'clock a portentons rum
bling was heard, which gave the peo-
pie warning. Families in the vicinity
hurriedly vacated their houses, but
none too soon, for. few minutes
later large surface, nearly a block
in area, went down into the working.
Five buildings including the O'Brien
Hotel were engulfed, sinking to a
depth of fifty feet, where they took
fire. The City fire department finally
extingulshed the flames.
At 8 o'clock the settling began. At
$50 it was no longer perceptible. In
the intervening half hour OBrien's
three-story 4ox6o hotel, Mrs. Ann
Evans double dwelling adjoining 1t,
Mrs. Jane Ackerly's double store
building across the street. and one
story barber shop next to it were a
mound OF debris in the yawning pit,
with the uppermost part OF the mound
forty feet below the surface. O'Bren's
hotel, which plunged first into the
opening has entirely disappeared. A
stove that was in the hotel kitchen
was seen in the nine by party OF
mine officials who went to the edge
of the fall to observe its extent. The
vein that caved is us feet below the
surface.
The settling started in the stree,
just in front of the hotel property
corner of Lackawanna and River
streets. 1t was first noticed by partie:
standing on the hotel porch. The
brick street pave was seen to be work
ing and the telegraph poles and tree:
along the curb were noticed to b,
wobbling.
| The cause was at once apparent
and the alarm given to all the neigh
borhood. Two sick guests were re
moved from the hotel and taken two
blocks away to private house. Som,
attempt was made at saving the con
tents of the buildings, but the rapid,
increasing size of the opening IN th'
street put stop to this and ever
one fled from the neighborhood.
Twenty minutes after the disturb
ance was first noticed the opening
had widened until it reached all tn
way across the street and half wa
beneath the O'Brien hotel. The
with terrific crash the big hote
pitched forward, turned completed
about and Landed on its roof in tn
bottom of the abyss.
