WORKING UNDER CAISS0N
WHEN FUSE IS LIGHTED
Dynamite Used by Men Who Dig
Earth from Under 6igaHted cOH-
erets Block That Hangs
Over Their Bodies.

As result OF q premature explosion
under caisson being sunk beneath
the bed of the Tennessee river at
Hale's Bar, Fay Tree, a white man,
and Oscar Miller, n negro, are dead,
and several other workmen are in the
hospital of the construction camp
there.
The explosion occurred Wednesday
morning. Tree died Friday while the
negro lived until Saturday. A negro
laborer was responsible for the explos-
ion He touched lead wire to the dy-
Mantle fuse before those who had been
placing the explosive had been given
time to get out from under the cais-
son. and they we're caught there when
the explosion came. The negro whose
carelessness caused the lives of two of
hiss .how workmen escaped immedi-
ately Because Of fright, but returned,
and al his act was purely an accident
no blame is attached to him.
The work in which Tree and his as
sociates we're engaged is probably the
most dangerous construction work
known to modern engineers The huge
Gals ons. some of them weighing more
tia ten tons, are moulded in Golfer
dams, and are then sunk to the bed OF
the river They are followed under
n ath In the shape of an arch and are
fitted ou the sides with steel cutting
edges which sink into the ground.
Compressed air is then forced under
the caisson and workmen dig the
ground away beneath it, permitting
the mammoth block of concrete to sink
slowly as the air pressure is lowered.
10 places were rock strata is encount-
cred it is necessary to use explosives.
The danger of injury from this is in
addition to that which Ia faced in the
breathing of compressed air at high
pressure.
Tree was young resident Of Ma

by Jacobs and Davies, He lived with
in short distance of Hale's bar.

ASKING AID MUST

The resolution of the January term
Of the White county court that all per-
sons who receive aid fiom the county
should go to the poorhouse and that no
outside aid be extended, was made per
manent at last session of court. It is
a rather peculiar solution of the pau

hard to manage and inclined to assume

Among the numerous superstitions
OF the Cossacks there is none stronger
than the belief that they will enter
heaven in better state If they are
personally clean at the time they are
killed. Consequently before an expect
ed battle they perform their toilets
with scrupulous care, dress themselves
in clean garments and put on the best
they have. This superstition is not
confined to the Cossacks alone, but is
widely prevalent in all branches of

the rural fences; the roadside poles;
and the rocks and trees thus made
unsightly to the gaze of the wayfar-
ers. Something may be granted to
the Chicago Judge who maintained
that the State cannot interfere with
property rights on merely esthetic
grounds; yet all due allowances
made, and without any desire to
strangulate business or deprive the
public of useful information, it must
be admitted that advertisements tag
ged in woodland spots or thrust OBJ
trusively into view by field and
hedgerow, are a needless offense
from which the public has the right
to be protected.
From business viewpoint, the
benefits are inconsiderable, and there
being plenty of other channels open
to the advertiser, it follows there is
no more justification for assaulting
the eye than there would be storm
ing the ear by deafening din. A dis
tinction obtains between politely ask
ing attention, and vulgarly compell-
ing it. The average citizen has the
privilege of saying whether he pre-
fers scenery kept in it's picturesque
simplicity, or at least whether it
shall be preserved from the ugly and
incongruous advertisements which

RESTRICTING AUTOMOBILE IL
CENSES,

With a view of placing further re-
strictions around automobilists Who'
either through carelessness or lgno-
rance, are a menace on the highways
of the State, Commissioner Lippin-
colt. of New Jersey, has announced
that in future drivers applying for
licenses will have to pass rigid eA-
animation before being given permis-
sion to operate cars. The commits
sioner's data on accidents through
out the State lead him to believe
that much of the loss of life and
most of the injuries sustained by per-
sons who use cars have been caused
by inexperience and irresponsibility.
Up to the present tine, the meth
ods in force for licensing drivers have
been very lax. Examinations to de-
termine the fitness of an applicant
have been merely perfunctory, if not
downright farcial. The commission
er proposes to change all this, and
hereafter examinations will be held
under the supervision of experienced
men, and character as well as me-
chanical ability will enter into the
question as to whether a man is con-
sidered competent to receive a Ii
cense.
This is move in the right direc-
ton. Other States are doing the
same thing, and there is no reason
why New Jersey, which is becoming
more popular each year as rem
devious for automobiles, should not
be right in the van or progress in
this respect.

other patrol duty. The Scouts, like
on all other former occasions, rem
dered fine service. The success of
the parade depended largely upon
them and their genial Scout Master,

get along without its troop of Boy
Scouts, which is composed of a num-
Der of the best young men in the
town. The discipline received is in
valuable to young men. Their duty
and service counts for all that is
good and benficial to mankind.
A word for the town council of
the borough of Honesdale. To these
gentlemen, whose pictures are found
in to-days Citizen, belongs the credit
of vacating lower Main street and
turning over gratis that part of the
borough that now constitutes the
site of the new Gurney Electric Ele-
vator Company. If they had dis
agreed it is doubtful that the Cur
ney plant would have been located
in the borough Of Honesdaie. Much
praise is therefore given to the town
council of the borough of Honesdale.

SANITARY WORKSHOPS.

In certain factory a number of
employees were found to be suffer-
ing from tuberculosis. The homes
of the men were in good condition.
The disease evidently did not origin
ate there. An expert was asked to
solve the problem. He visited the
factory. This was what he found
careless splitting, few cuspidors, no
disinfecting of cuspidors, the COM
mon drinking cup, dust in the air,
closed windows, no hot water for
washing, a trough which was filled
with water from which all the men
washed, no recreation room. The men
were obliged to eat beside their ma
chimes.
Is it a surprise that tuberculosis
thrived here? Matters were remedied
by moving to another building, and
latest reports show a healthy force.
1t was not necessary to move, how
ever. The introduction of drinking
fountains, more cuspidors, properly
cleaned and disinfected; more fresh
air, hot as we'll as cold water, wash
basins, a recreation room, together
with the fumigation of lockers and
thorough scrubbing of the floors
would have solved the problem.
