DEFECTS IN MINING LAWS.
A. Movement to Plnce the Mi no, Iu
upcclors I'nder State Supervision.
To correct tha defects in the state
mining laws a general act will be Intro
riuced in the next legislature which will
apply to the anthracite and bituminous
regions of Pennsylvania. The measure
will have the sanction of the state all
thoiities and will cstubllsh a bureau
of mines in the Internal affairs depart
ment with a chief whose qualifications
will be similar to those required of
mining engineers and mine inspectors.
The creation of such a bureau with a
properly qualified chief Is thought to be
necessary for the reason that no super
vision by the state is by law author
ised over the mine inspectors of either
the anthracite or bituminous mines In
Pennsylvania.
Complaints are constantly being
made to the governor and other state
officials by operators, miners and others
connected with mines airainst the In
spectors for alleged failure to comply
with the duties InipoFcri upon them by
law, but the state authorities have no
legal right to Investigate such com
plalnts und nothing is ever done in the
matter, except to refer them to the In
spector who Ims been complained
against. As it is now theve are to all
li tints and purposes eighteen differ
ent departments of mining in tills state,
each mine inspector transacting the
business of his district according to his
own Ideas without Indue; accountable
to a superior ollicer on the part of the
commonwealth, and yet all Inspectors
are paid directly from the state treas
ury. The state authorities back of the
proposed act claim there is need of ad
ditional mining legislation on account
of the alleged unconstitutionality of the
present law and of the necessity for
state supervision. Harrlsburg Putrlot.

The second week of the special term

A female duck-theif was one of the
defendants on trial. She was Annie
Semeron, of Taylor. The prosecutor
was James Subrick. Mr. Vldaver as
listed the commonwealth and W. R.
Lewis appeared for the defense. The
allegation of the prosector was that
Annie stole seven of his ducks. He
missed that number one morning and
upon making a search discovered one
of them In the ixissesslon of the Semer
on woman. It had a peculiar mark on
It by w hich he readily recognized It a
a part of bis Hock. The defense was
that Subrick brought this prosecution
in revenge for having been arrested
several times ut the instance of Sirs.
Semeron. Court directed a verdict of
not guilty.
Last Fourth of July there was bother
down In Green's lane. The Tolands and
them else bad their lighting clothes on
and they didn't get them off for sever
ul days. On the Sunday fol
lowing the Fourth Patrick Toland tan
across .Michael Reddington. Reddlng
ton intimated during the course of an
animated discussion that Toland never
wanted for mutton in the old country.
When the bystanders picked Redding
ton up, it was found that his left leg
was broken in two places.
TOLAND PLKADF.D Ol'ILTY.
Yesterday Toland w'us called to an
swer the charge of uggravuted assault
and battery. His attorney, John II.
Monner. agreed to enter a plea of guilty
of simple assault and buttery and Dis
trict Attorney Jones usqulesced. Judge
Albright did not, however, make much.
if any, allowance for Toland s open
confession for he sentenced him to a
line of $."ii, costs of prosecution und nine

Ki tieger and Daniel Langowskl were on
trial ut adjournment for assault and
battery upon John Hash. The parties

Sir. Welsh Is for the defense. Constable
Harris, of Priceburg, had a warrant for
the arrest of Krueger and Langowskl
and Rush went along to point them out
to the officer. The defendants submit
ted to arrest peaceably enough but
when they got outside they pounced
on the informer and gave him a severe
drubbing. Krueger hit him on the head
with un umbrella. Mrs. Krueger thump
ed him in the face und Langowskl kick
ed him, at least he so alleges. The de
fense will be a denial of the assault
and an allegation that the proseimtioii
Is a spite action.

husband, Dunlel Denihey, with assault
und battery. The Jury said not guilty
but pay the costs. The parties live In

ing to their extreme poverty and tha

ter whether prosecutrix or defendeiit

the county.
