Accidents in the collerles of the middle district of tho anthracite coal fields, of which Ibis city Is the centre, made Jast year noarlv tine hun dred wl.lows and oyer rive hundred orph ans. Reports or the first two months uf 1 883 show an equal average of fatalities, llut notwithstanding the frequency of fatal ac cidents and the absenco nf any organized cli.itlty, tho larder of the widow families are never empty, none go naked, and the household firesaro not exlinguUhrit,nnd Ihe liltlo home Is never stripped by a landlord's warrant. Kind hands see that food Is pro vided each day, aud the men returning from their work in the mines do not forget to cany to the widow's home a lump of an thracite for the no Kt day's lite. Communism tn a peculiar rente prevai.a among Ihe coal mine of Pennsylvania. The lucky divide with the unlucky ns readily and ns cheerfully ns If they belonged tn one family, However iniirh all may quarrel ou abstract questions of politics or religion, all the discussions lire dropped ul the appeal of charily. .Wlille, n has been said, no organized relief societies exist among the colliers, I hero Is. a general system In vogue which does Its work well und promptly. Every printing olflce in this region Is visited week ly by ersilus wailtiug ruille tickets. Thise tickets coal imo dollar a hundred, and ale headed, "Rulllo for a Cooking Stove," or clock, burcan, nuill, table, or soino oli.cr article of domestic use. Jt is announced that the nifll i Is for the benefit oT u Widow or uu Injured miner, nnd will be held at the place designated, on tha "night after pay day." Toe price of the tickets is generally filly cuts. The ruille is in charge ol a c m mittee w hoso name uppeor on the ticket. Take tho case of n Woman, lor instance, Into ly made a widow, blie has been lett peui less, us minor's widows uaiiuly ure. Every body understands this, und Ihe bundled tickets are promptly disiacd of among the miners, who pay for Ihe'ni on pay day. On Ihut day Ihe widow gets $50 'cash. The night ol tho ruille comes, aud possibly, one tilth of the ticket holders assembl. A fiddler, a keg of beer, and a liltlo "bant shtuff" form the elements ol the entertain inent. Tho young lads join in u dunce with tho lasses, the old men sup and smoke their pi?s. and the old women recount Ihe virtues ol the ileoasril miner. About mid iiigbl the ruffle begins. Tho names of the ticket purchasers ure put in u hut and well shaken. Whoever secures the prize al once turns it over to tlio beneficiary. The com puny breoka up happy over the good time they have hud, and tho kind deed thev huve done. Tnul $50 goes u long way iu keep ing ihe shadows Irom the little house. It will sometimes pay a whole year's rentitid It only requires one or two more rn files to keep the widow's poor larder stocked, for it must be understood that iiolatoes, cabbages and meal form tho staple articles of diet in these humble homes. A veoris a lung lime for a comely and Ihrilty woman lo remain a willow ul the mines, no matter how many children she may have, Jiin is killed tu day, and pos sibly before the summer ends. Jack, who was Jim 6 best Irienrt, Insists upon inarrv lng Jim's widow. Jim's babies become his. And ilyoilgo below the surface you will find the foundation of Juck's action to be pure charily. Il is u matter of record that when the terrible Avondale disaster occur red so many widows and helpless ones were left that the matter of caring for the former speedily wus discussed. It was quickly settled by proiaisitions of marriage, und in every short lime ufier the culumily the household of every victim wns protected. This sume spirit exists in every minintr community to-iiy, and Is n shield against much distress. Attempts have been made from time to time to organize mutual bene lii associations among the, "miners, but in variably Ihe. schemes, have come to crief. ftosiia'lly through, the cupidily bf tbe mana gers. i lie miner s unions that havebeen formed to relieye distressed miners, nud the willows anil orphans of miners, huve ell been wrecked in the shoals of politics. An osso. rial ion ul (lie kind was organized by Charles farrisli, at Ihe time President ol the Liehigh nud Wilkesbarre Coal Company and a large owner of the collieries. It wus in the flush times of several years ago. His system in volved tho payment of fifty cents a month by each employee into h general fund Every miner injured In his work drew out a staled sum for his supiuirt during his ill ness. Every widow got a fixed sum, as did every orphan up to a certain age. Tlious. anils of miners wero enrolled in this or gunizaiion. Not only wero the men taxed, but the company itself contributed some thing. For u long time things went on swimmingly. The fund Increased a great deal more rapidly than demands were mad, iiHin it, until tho sum nf $00,000 was in the treasury. This accumulation worried the men, who imagined that something would happen to the "money. Agitation funned the tears of the doubling into a blaze ol suspicion, until finally, against the earnest petitions of Mr. I'urrish, and hosts of well lnlorined miners, the demand for a dis tribution of the fund among thocontribulois became so obstinate that tho trustees turned tho money over lo the clininnls. Sine then no other effective systum has been adopted. Etlorts have been made from time tn time to Induce the miners to abandon a custom that prevails among litem. When ever u man is killed in a mine' white at work every man iu the colliery where the aori dent occurs stops work, Ferequently 1.5011 employees turn out ami remain out lor lui days.
