Cause of Poverty AmonR- tho Miners.
A pursual of tho repirt of Mine Inspector
Roderick of the Lehigh District shows one
great cause of the poverty of the working
men or these anthracito coal fields. The
total number of (ous produced in that (lis
triot for lite year ending December, 1 SSI,
were 5,274.227. Number of days worned
during the year, 181 and a fifth. Number
of hands employed 14,209, against Iho year
1883, in which the totul production of coil
wus 5,000,701 tons, the average number ol
days worked 221.0, and lolul number of
employs 13,093- It will be seen that the
production of 1834 fell below that of 1883
by 392,510 tons, while tho average number
of days worked was 30.4 days less, yet 1,201
more employees Here cogugeil. Iiniinrtu
Hon nf cheap labor is the cause. And what
operated to keep tho worklngmeu of the
Lehigh iu poverty and want was in opera
Hon in all other districts.

We clip the following particulars of the
murder of Thomas J. Hogan from the col
mnns of the White Haven mrct,tt which
place deceased lived
'Seldom does a more diabolical nnd das
lardly murder occur than that which
transpired In the Lehigh Valley station at
Pcnn Haven Junction Thursday, Hie 9 lit
instant. Tho viutlm was our well-known
townsman, Thomas J. Hogan, who for the
past four years had been employed as sta,
tlnn agent and operator at the Junction.
The perpetrator of tho cowardly miirder
was a Hungarian, named Michael Colycr,
who resided el the Junction. From aneyo
witness we learn tho followlpg partlculara
of Iho sad event :
The Hungarian had for soma lima been
employed as a track hand on tho Lehigh
Val'ey railroad In Iho vicinity of Penn
Haven. Two weeks ago he was discharged
from the company's employ, and It seems
attributed his dismissal lo Mr. Hogan, who
was in reality his earnest friend. He cvi
dently thought lo revenge himself, nnd bo
gan annoying Mr. Hogon. Several days
ago he went Inlo. the station and removed
some lime tables from the rack, lhat had
beoi placed there fir the exclusive use of
tho employees. Thursday aflernoon about
onoo clock ho ogaln went Into the gentle
men j room at tho station, nnd began
handling the lime tables, when Mr. Hogan
wont from bis office to the room, and told
Ihe Hungarian lo not handle them, ami to
leave the building. The Hungarian started
for the door, and on reaching it, turned
suddenly around and walked up to Mr.
Hogan, aud immediately shot nt him Iwico
Willi a rovolyerr The first shot took effect
in Mr. IIogn's left breast, und caused him
lo exclaim, -Oh I Mr God,' lit tlio 6omc
time' he threw up Ms hands, and pushed
aside tho Hungarian's arm as the second
shot was boing discharged, which lodged
in n picture frame on the adjoining wall.
Hogan, after being shot, ran out Hie side
door; thence around Iho building to the
Junction Hotel in the rear of tho 6tallou
On entering Hie hole! he placed hi; arm.s on
the bar, tried lo speak but could not, and
the next instant sank to the floor and died
within a minute.
The Hungarian then walked Into (he
farthcrst end of the ladles' room, nnd stood
there in a defiant mood, evidently await
ing further developments nf the atrocious
doed. The fireman of the abifllnir enrir.n.
learning of what had beeD done, went lo the
doornnl beckoned Ihe Hungarian lo him,
and when the latter readied the door. Ihe
plucky fireman felled tho murderer to the
door with a blow of his arm. The revolver
was taken from him, and lie was ptacad on
an engiue to be token lo Mauch Chunk.
.At this lime a policeman arrived, nnd the
Hungarian was taken to jail.
A jury was empanelled, and a post mor
tem examination made by Dr. Leonard, of
Mauch Chunk, assisted by a Weatherly
physician. The testimony of the witnesses,
and finding nf thejury, is substantially the
same as the above.
Tho news of iho murder reached Tiere
soon alter its oecureuoo, and was a greut
shock to our people, who highly eslouuiod
the uufortunalo young man. Ho was
brought In this plaeo by o special train, at 0
o'clock. His nmlablo wile wus criof striclcen,
and is scarcely abio to wilb stand her great
afllicttnn.
Mr. Hogan resldod In thl place nearly
flfleen years.whoro he married Miss Jennio
Brown, doughiej; ol Copt. Anlhony Brown.
The husband and wife were very dearly at
tached to each other, and won Ibo affections
of many friends, who extend to Iho le
reoyed lady their heart felt sympathy. As
on evidence of his care for his wife ho re
on(ly Informed her of his intention to take
an insurance policy for her baoefjt, and on
tho 20th of March was insured for $1,000
in the Fidelity Insurance Company, of
Philadelphia.
Ho was highly esteomed by the Lehigh
Valley officials, who found in him a cap
able, trustworthy and reliable employee.
He a buried at White Haven, Satun'ay
aftcrno-Mi. The funeral was largely at
tended ; Rev. F. V. Krug officiating.
The grand jury rolnrnrd a truo bill
against Michael Colycr and the trial has
been posptoucd uutil next term.
A Harder Kear Wilkeabarro.
A Wllkesbarre despatch ol tbe 13th to
Ihe Philadelphia Prcst, saysi About II
o'clock on Sundoy evening, the body o'
Andrew Maenack.a Polo, was discovered
lying on Hie Lehigh Valley Railroad track
two miles from Wilkesbarre. ot Mill Creek
bearing unmistakable evidences nl foul
play, and evidently ploced there in hoj ei a
train would mangle it. The bead wes cut
and bruised almost to a Jelly, and a bullit
hole was discovered in tho back of the neck
and another in I lie right arm. Tuesday
morning Charles McNamee, the keeper of
a saloon near the point where Iho b uly was
found, Hugh" Trainer, John Kennedy and
William Kenncdv were arrested and charged
wilh complicity In Ihe murder.
The crime hat created great excitement
here and at Ihe trial Monday night a
crowd was Iu attendance. The testimony
showed that oo Sunday evening Macnack
and thiee Hungarians entered McNamce's
saloon drunk, and began a fight. They
were thrown nut by those preseut and went
away, but came back in a few minutes ard
renewed Ihe fight. A hsrd struggle ensue 1,
windows and furniture ware broken, chairs,
pokers and other weapons ussd, and Mao
nack, who seemed mad with drink, was
badly beaten.
The Hugarisns finally wentaway, two In
one direction and Iwo in another. A few
minutes after e pistol shot wss heard but
no ultention paid to it. John Madure, Ihe
Hungarian who went off wilh Macnack,
swore that when tbey had gone a short
distance, Macuscic said lie was going back
for bis bat, which he hid lost In the fight.
Madura tried to percaude him not lo do s,
but be went, saying he would get his bst
or they would hove to fight for it. Madurn
went home and did not seo Msenack again.
When the body was found tht pockets
were turned inside out and there waa eyi
oenee of a struggle uear by, and foot prinlt,
as if two men had gone away Irom the
body. The prisoners were all dischargel,
except McXamee, who waa held in J500 for
assaulting Msenack.
Liter developments point Joseph Maduro
as the murderer, who fled upon learning
tbut be was to be arrested.

The Governor has signed tho Scientific
Educational bill and Mrs. Hunt hat .cone to
uer iiomu in Boston, All who have tend
what I have said about this bill will remem
ber that she was tho central flgui c In secur
ing Its passage. She labored for It both on
the lluor of the House and through the dally
papers, one nas now rciimt with the lc
tory. So now the ladies anil gentlemen who
cnnslltuto Ihe corps of our common school
teachers Mill understand that next fall when
they come up for examination they wlll.be
expected tn answer questions on Ihls sub
Jcct, Tho supposition Is that they will book
up on tlili subject during tlio summer, .Mrs.
Hunt says that any teacher writing loAp
pletou & Co., New York, can obtain a book
written partly by her ami especially adapted
for this purpose. '
Senator Thompson, ot Dauphin, Introduced
a bill of which the following Is the title. "An
act declaring tho Commonwealth a single
district for tlio purpose of holding the Su
premo Court o l'cnnsjhaiila, and designat
ing tho city of Harrlsburs tho place for hold
ing and silling of tho samo." If this bill
passes it will establish the Supreme Court
permanently hi ihls city. Kccral of Iho
Justices have been consulted about the mat
ter and they cxprcsicd themselves ery
mucli in tavor of tho bill. The way it Is now,
the Judges must dlvido their tlmo and sit al
ternatively at Philadelphia, Pittsburg and
Harrisburg. '
On Wednesday three bills passed tho Sen
ate finally, which nro to pension two widows
wnoso husbands have lust their Ihcsiuthc
service of tho State inliltla, and ouo mother

On Tuesday afternoon tho House devoted
their tlmo to apportionment work. They

u oto of 11? jc.is to wiuiys. They then took
up the Representative apportionment bill,
ana passed It finally. Hie Congressional ap
portionment hill passed second reading, Is
now In the hands of the transcribing derks
and w ill soon bo up for final passage. It cer
taluly Is gratifying to sco that such progress
has been made uu these Important bills, for
it there were any bills before this Legislature
that wcro calculated to make trouble It was
Ihcse.
On Wednesday evening CapU Pratt with
forty Indian boys aud girls gave au enter
tainment tu thu House, which was packed
with people to hoar llicm. Standing room
wasnt a premium, 'Ihe lobbies, seats and
every available space on the floor of the

very good. Indeed It was ,i surprise to every
ono present, Tlio audlcuco wus delighted
with tho progress theso children of the red
men havo made. They saug.rcclted speeches,
dialogues and held a debate on the subject,
'Which Is tho better pursuit of the Indian
slock raising or fanning," In (his debute
the boys advanced somo very good aigu
inents and seemed about equally divided on
the subject. Some of the boys have orsnn
lied themselves Into a brass band and dur
ing tho evening plajed several pieces which
called forth much applause. At the close of
the entertainment Captain Pratt gave some
Interesting accounts ot how he obtained the
boys and girls, how they worked In (he
blacksmith shops, harness shops, wagon
shops and on the farm. Tho Captain Is con.
vluced that he has tho proper method rf
dealing with tbo Indian problem nnd de
nounces tbo present reservation sjstem,
which system If continued in will still keep
the Indian problem unsettled.
