MAY BE STRIKE OF MINERS.

tt THE Coal Barons of Pennsylvania stand
4 firm in their intention alveady avowed, to
resist the demands of the mine workers, it looks
as If a strike of the men would be inevitable
Reports from the Pennsylvania mining districts
declare that already the operators are preparing
for the conflict. Barbed wire defences are be-
ing placed about the mines and arrangements
are said to be making for the importation of la
Dor 20 take the place of the miners who may
strike The prospect therefore, is that the con-
sumner Of coal will share the burdens of the new
strike.
The operators, however, will not stand to lose
in the event OF a strike The coal trust already
has six millions tons of coal mined and stored
and they have used only half OF their storage ca
pacity. When the present working agreement
between the operators and the men Shall have
expired, it will be possible for the trust to have
stored at least twelve millions of tons. The Coal
Barons then, should it suit their fancy, can shut
down their mines and unload the twelve millions
of tons at an enormous profit The consumer
will be compelled to pay for the advance in the
price.
If the trust felt sure that another strike would
not call down upon their heads swift action by
the national government, they would no doubt,
await a strike and a chance to make their profits
with entire composure. As it is they may well
hesitate before engaging in another conflict with
the miners which struggle would again rivet the
attention Of the country upon the coal situation
and doubtless produce clamor that would not
be satisfied SO easily as in the past.

party.
The new collector, David S. Clark, FOL years
has been prominent and tireess worker for
the Republicans of Kent county. During the
last election he had the pleasure OF seeing his
home district, Kenton hundred, wrested frou
the control of the Democrats, who had long been
in the ascendency there. Mr. Clark will be new
in the office OF Collector Of Port but there is no
reason why his administration should not be a
successful one. In assuming his duties he will
carry with him the best wishes of his many
friends
The appointment OF Mr. Clark indicates TO MS
that the President recognizes Senator Alice as
the one whose recommendation is necessary in
order to secure Federal position. 1t is, there
fore. the plain duty Of the Senator TO see that
the appointments he selects are such will be
for the best interests OF the State and of the Re
publican party which must be united into one
strong, compact organization il the Republicans

expect Mr. Clark to continue the high standard
OF efficiency that marked the conduct OF the of

An amusing story is being told of the disappearance
Of a stove from the kitchen of a we'll known fam
lily living on the west side
The family has but recently employed servant wo
man cook, who had been in this country but
short time and who had not been initiated into the
mysteries of gas stove. On Thanksgiving morning
the lady Of the house, instructed the "Franlen to
prepare turkey for the midday meal, telling her to
put Il in the oven of the gas stove and roast IT,.
She also informed the cook that the family would at.
tend church but that she would expect dinner to be
ready upon her return.
About one o'clock she returned. On entering the
house she found that the cook and the greater part
the furniture intact but that the turkey and gas
stove had been dislocated
The cook had turned the gas but had forgotten
to light it Immediately and result the kitchen be.

few moments later the stove blown the ceiling

Decay Of Stones.

The decay of stone in buildings was
discussed recently by DR.. r. NJ. Bucha-
nan, city bacteriologist Of Glasgow in
paper read before the Royal Philo-
sophical Society of that city. He said
that the theories attempting to explain
the destruction of stone as the result of
the influence OF acids, such as sulphuric
acid in the air Of towns, were made
quate. Decay seemed very frequently
to begin at the ground and extend up
ward two or three courses, or as far as
the moisture ascended; 1t was common,
lin general. wherever the stone was
likely to be kept wet on examin-
ling material from decayed stones
bacteriologically some species OF organ
ism capable Of evolving sulphuretted
hydrogen were found. and these might
he thought, set up chemical changes
that would prove destructive to the
stone.

SHAMEFUL NEGLECT OF DUTY.

w L REGRET the occasion to speak Of the
" neglect of the Street and Sewer Depart
nent and its officers to keep Market street in a
fairly passable condition during these intense
Christmas shopping days. The numerous COM
plants made this week at the Journal office by
men and women as 10 the condition Of Market
street particularly at the intersection of Fourth
street, we regret to say, are we'll founded 1t is
indeed very stupid person who could not anti
cipate great number of people walking on Mar
ket and the ntersecting streets during this week,
and for the Street and Sewer Department, whose
especial duty it is TO care for and keep the
streets OF our city in proper condition, TO not
make sufficient provision before hand to keep
our principal business and shopping streets
clean and in good condition, shows great indf-
ference TO the convenience and comforts OF the
public. One or two carts, with two or three
men with hoes, shovels and brooms, working two
or three hours could have put Market street in
a condition where it could be used without COM
plant All day yesterday, women carrying chill
dren, baskets and heavy packages were compel
led to walk through and stand nearly ankle deep
in the mud at Fourth and Market streets. For
the Street and Sewer Department to not be
aware Of such condition as exists at that point
OF the busiest thoroughfare OF our city, is to adj
NIT its negligence. 1t is an outrage that the
Women of our city come out from their homes
properly attired and compelled TO return
with their skirts fairly dripping with mud and
dirt. II is to be hoped that this condition will
be remedied Immediately either by the Street
and Sewer Department, or by cleaners paid by
public subscription. If Market street cannot be
kept clean in any other way during the remain
