COMMENT.

The visitation of mosquitoes in
Newark this week looks like sarcastic
action by the species on the efforts
made to destroy them in their habitat
on tho meadows. Not in late years
have we experienced at this early
period such q visitation. Newark
Advertiser.
Chief of Police HAYES, of Hoboken,
reports that of the 2,G12 arrests made
by his department. the past year, 1,214
prisoners were natives of the United
States. Considering the number of
foreign horn citizens and transient
visi tors from abroad to the city, this
is somewhat of a remarkable show
ing. -Hobokep Observer.
From the number of accidents &C.
curing in this vicinity on the Sab
bath, it is evident that the churches
dc not %monopolize the attention of
tho residents of his estimable COM
munity on what was once known as
tho "Day of Rest" Tho phrase has
come to have quite an antiquated
sound. Elizabeth Times.
Last year Bloomfield lost thirty-two
of her sixty-three school teachers, be-
cause of the refusal of the Town
Council to give TO the Board of Edu-
cation an appropriation large enough
to warrant the payment Of fair sal
aries. All of the teachers resigned i'll
order to take better positions. 1t looks
MS il the town WAS TO have q similar
experience this year. Already eleven
have resigned, and others are likely to
follow their example, since council
has again refused to increase the ap-
propriation. Bloomfield has 1900
school children, with but S62, COO for
expenses for the year, while the
%neighboring town of Montclair, with
5000 children, spends $780, 600 an
nually on her schools. -Four of the
eleven teachers who have resigned go
to East Orange and one to Montolair.

been Informed by the New York, New
Haven and Hartford railroad that for
the present no freight for New York
and vicinity would be accepted. The
officials of the road stated that they
expected to move the freight now held
in that city soon and that shipments
might then he received.
The New Haven officials regard their
fight with the freight handlers as vir-
tually won. Less than 100 freight han
dlers at the New England terminals
of the steamboat lines have gone on
strike. though it had confidently been
expected that every man at Bridgeport,
Waterbury, New London, New Haven,
Providence, Fall River and New Bed
ford would go out. The only towns
where the men struck were Providence
and Fall River.
In all there are but 700 freight han
dlers on strike on the entire system,
and the places of nearly all Of them
have been filled.

THURSDAY, MAY 26, 1904.

Tho suggestion made in the Even
ing News q short time ago that the
agitation for n commission to Jake tho
place of the Board of Freeholders be
revived, has taken root and is spread
ing. There is no doubt but that the
commission idea will be given n better
reception by tho people now than
formerly. IT the Evening News can
be the means of reviving this idea and
it should he carried through success
fully it will feel that It has done one
of tho greatest things that has ever
been accomplished for tho county.
Five commissioners under n stated
salary would be able to better handle
the affairs of the county in a moro
economical manner than the
cumbersome board now i'll charge.
Keep up the agitation. 1t may yet
come to pass.

SwUFFOCATED BY GAS
Foreman and Nine Miners
Dead at Williamstown, Pa.
DEADLY FUMES FROM LOCOMOTIVE
Accident Most Peculiar In Mine His
tOry-Men Riding Behind Tunnel
Engine, ms They Had Done FOr
Years, Found Unconscious

WILKESBARRE, Pa May pa
telegram received at the iSusquehanna
Coal company's offices in this city
states that Foreman Golden and nine
other miners were suilocated by gas
and sulphur fumes from Il small loco
motive in tie workings Of the Summit
Branch Coal company ut Williams
town, Dauphin county. The accident
vas ~ Of the most peculiar in the
history of the anthracite mines. and no
reason for it can be assigned by the of.
ticia!s. The victims include Michael
Golden, general inside foreman of the
company, and nine miners and labor
ers.
The tunnel in which the disaster oc-
cured is one mile in length and is used
by the coal company to convey the coal
mined i'll the workings in the Bear val
ley to the breaker in the WilliamStown
valley. The men employed in the mines
in the Bear valley who reside in Will
Jamestown have made Il practice for
years to ride to and from their work
on the trips of ears that are hauled be.
tween the two valleys by small loco
motives.
About 4 o'clock in the afternoon Gen
eral Inside Foreman Golden and about
fifty miners boarded Il loaded train
which was about to be hauled from
Bear valley to Williamstown. Every
thing went all right until about half of
the Journey was made, when some of
the men attracted the attention of the
engineer, who at once stopped. and it
was found that nearly every nan in
the party on the ears had been oyer-
come by the gas and sulphur which
cmanatcd from the stack of the loco
motive and floated back over them.
The engineer ut once crowded on all
sSnm possible, and the unconscious
mon were hurried to the Williamstown
once summoned, and the men were
taken to the surface, where Il corps of
physicians made every possible effort
to resuscitate them, but aid came too
late for Foreman Golden and the other
victims.
The tunnel has been in constant op-
Grafton for more than forty years, and
this is the first accident of any kind
that has happened in it.
All the telephone and telegraph wires
leading to Williamstown were put out
Of service by Il storm, and Williams
town was cut off until the pcnnsylva-
mia Railroad company restored the tel
egraphic service.
