After the first round Lemons larded hard on the head, and in the fourth Leonard was very groggy and on the ropes when the gong saved him. He came up stronger In tho fifth and landed hard on the colored man's ribs. Just before the gong ended tho light Lemons found Mike's jaw and the Beau went down to stay until carried off.

J, Hand nnd I. II. Burns Con tend lor mi Interpretation in Arc ulng Acnlust llio Itlchmond Mino Injunction, nnd lion. K. N. V 1 1 -.Inrd, Itcpruacntlng the Inspection, Argue fur h Dlllerent Rending ol the Act--Is Sor In Judge's Hands. Arguments In the Itlchmond mine In junction case wire heard yesterday af ternoon before Judge Gunster In cham bers. Hon. K. N. Wlllnrd appeared for the petltlonet. Mine Inspector Hdward Roderick, and W. J. Hand and I. H. Burns represented the comrany. Both' sides submitted numerous re quests for findings of fact and law and all three attorneys made arguments at length. Mr. Hand, the first .to bo heard, contended thut the reasonable and gen erally accepted Interpretation of tho net permits a company to work twenty men in a seam to which a second open ing Is being made. The fact that thu law fixes the number at not moie than twenty and that only eight men at the most can be worked in driving1 a tun nel leaves thfe reasonable Implication that If the company sees fit It may use men In mining coal while a second opening Is under way, the number al together employed not to exceed twen ty. Speaking on the allegation of the In spector that the fatuities for exit In an emergency at the Richmond mine are not what are required. Mr. Hand called attention to the uncontradicted testimony that three times during the past six j ears the main eh'aft has been disabled and use of the secondary exit made neces-tary. On each occasion the men wero gotten out safely and with little or no Inconvenience. AN EMERGENCY EXIT. The Richmond colliery, ho argued, Is distinguished from the average col liery by the fact that the secondary shaft is used only as an emergency exit for the men. In other and larger col lieries It Is utilized for hojstlng and low ering men and supplies. To keep an engineer constantly on duty and main tain steam in the boilers at all times for the mere purpose of being prepared to hoist In a possible emergency, ths twenty-eight men employed In the Richmond, would entail such' a hard ship as would make the operation of the colliery unprofitable and if the In spector's Interpretation of the law, In this regard was Insisted upon, the com pany might have to close down the mine. The company has engines, boil ers, cage and every other necessary ap pliance In the secondary shaft and It their use is required It is only a mat ter of an hour or so before steam can be raised and everything In readiness for hoisting the men. On the three oc casions when the men had to be hoist ed by way of the second shaft it was pi oven In a practical manner that the company maintains what the law calls for a "safe and available" means of exit by a second opening. Owing to the natural ventilation of the mine, and as was proven by the three practical tests mentioned, men can remain without the slightest inconvenience at the foot ot the second haft for an indefinite length of time, without question sev eral days, even with the tan stopped. Steam can be gotten up in the boilers Inside of an hour. Thes.e being proven facts it remains, Mr. Hand con tended, that the company is and has been complying with every leatonable requirement of the law. AVHY BUCKET IS USED. As to there being no cage no cage in the shaft at present, Mr. Hand explained, that a bucket was put In use while the repairs to the damaged bunting are in progress. The oa?e will be replaced when the repairs are completed. In addition to what it has already done the company is will ing, Mr. Hand said, to continue the sys tem of iron ladders the whole length of the secondary shaft, if court auvises it. Mr. Burns followed with a technical treatise on the act in question. He went so far as to intimate very strong ly that the act was unconstitutional. He was not going to attack It on that ground, he said, because he thought that although It may not be strictly constitutional it Is a good law. In passing upon a law, he contended, the act must be taken for what It says. This act being in derrogatlon ot the common law, the Implications must redound to the party legislated against. Applying this principal to the disput ed question, as to the employment of men In a seam to which a second open ing Is being made It would demand the reading contended for by the company. He also held that In an Interpretation of the act tho different circumstances of different mines, for Instance, tho difference of conditions between a mine employing twenty-eight men and one employing 1,000, men should be taken into consideration, Just as much as the difference of conditions In a mountain road and a paved street would be con sidered In a negligence case. MR. WILLARDS ARGUMENT. Ex-Judge Wlllnrd closed the argu ments with an hour's elaboration of the petitioners' twenty-three requests for findings of fact and law. In dwelling upon the Interpretation of a statute he said that an act should be construed for what It means. The provision In regards to working twenty men, he said, meant the company's right to work twenty men In a vein that has no second opening was exhausted when the gangway and return road from the foot of the shaft to the front where the second opening begins, are completed. In the vein In question tho connecting roadways have beep, completed for ov er thirteen months, he argued, and when they were completed the com pany had a right to work only such men as are employed In making the second opening. In pointing out the danger to men employed In Dunmore No, 2 vein under present conditions, he asked what means of exit they would have should the main shaft, the only opening, take fire. He followed this up by asking If it was reasonable to argue that the law contemplated exposing men unneces sarily to such a fate as would follow this contingency. The reasonable, the literal and the true Interpretation of the act, Judge Wlllard contended, was that the twenty men were to be ex posed to this danger only under the necessity of driving tho tunnels to con nect the main Bhaft with the second opening. The use of a bucket Instead of a cage In the secondary shaft waa character- WHAT OTHERS SAY. Tho Words or 1'iionds Aro Genuine nnd Unliable. It Is easy for people to talk about them pelves, and stato what they may havo done, but It Is far better to hae other people speak for you. Tho words which follow are tho frank expressions of peo ple who know of what they speak. Rev. Wm, W. Whitney, of l.lnllthBO. N. i., sajs: "I Invo been mulcted more or less for six years past with malaria, ague, havo had pneumonia three times and havo been troubled with bronchial and catarrhal trouble of tho throat. Two years ago I had tho grip, which ran Into catarrhul pneumonia. While In this con dition I bosjan taking something of which I hail heard much, and nm rejoiced to say that I havo been practically cured by tho use of Duff.v'H pure malt whiskey." Mr. John K. ChaRe, AmeBbury, Mass., snvM.' "For some six ears past my wlfo has been sufLerlng from nervous prostra tion. For years she was troubled with Insomnia and nothing recommended by tho most eminent physicians would In duce sleep. Under tho advice of phyt.1 tlans nho recently tried Duffy's milt whiskey In small quantities und with tho most satisfactory results. While Mrs. Chaso has always been staunch In her tcmpcrat.co principled and consistent In practice tho has no hesitation In recom mending to Invalids who need a sentle stimulant Duffy's pure malt whiskey." h. C. Avlla, of the Brooklyn association for Improving tho condition of the poor, says: "I have used Duffy's malt whiskey for the past two years, halng suffered from sovero headaches and nervous pros tration. I havo been very much relieved by the uso of tho whiskey and have gained nearly seventeen pounds In weight." Tho nbovo statements speak for themselves. Izpd by Judge Wlllard as a miserable subterfuge. It Is expected that Judge Gunster will render an early decision. A GOOD INVESTMENT. Superintendent of .ichools Taylor's Miggcslloii Wrro Received. To Insure a full attendance of county school directors at the very helpful an nual meetings held in conjunction with the county Institute the state school authorities have interested themselves in a bill to provide for paying the ex penses, or a portion at least, of such dh ectors as may gl"e their attendance to their meetings. The project was suggested by Super intendent J. C. Taylor, of the Lacka wanna county schools, In his last re port to State Superintendent N. C. Schaeffer. As he set It foith: These organizations aro doing a large amount of good. Directors from all the districts of the courtj havo an opportun ity to come together and discuss ques tions of school policy, methods of man agement, new school laws, etc. And ns thete meetings nro usually held at tho same time as the county teachers' Insti tute, the dli ectors hao also tho nd van tage ol heating able speakers from abroad discuss modern metheds of teaching. But while thtbe assi.i latlons have done and aro doing much to advance the cause of education, much more mlcht be done, if conditions were different. The chief Im pediment to tho complete success of our directors' associations Is the difficulty of securing a full attendance. It is thougnt that If some method could be devised for meeting all necessary expenses of tho dl lectors while attending these conven tions, that tho attendance would be al most perfect, as that of the teachers Is at the county Institute. If dlrectois aro will ing to give their time in promoting tho work of education. It docs not seem that they ought to bo required or allowed to pay the necessary expenses Incurred In the discharge of official duties out of their own funds. Dr. Schaeffer gave the Idea his hearty approval and forthwith had It Inserted prominently among the topics upon which he Invites discussion. Wherever there has been an expression on the matter the sentiment was en thusiastically favorable and most like ly It will be at the earliest opportunity submitted for legislative consideration. REFEREE SAAt AUSTIN. He Will ICcgnlnto tho .Iiidgc-Hnrtlov llnxing Contest. Sam C. Austin, of New York, will referee the Judge-Bartloy boxing con test in this city next Monday night. This information was telegraphed to Scranton yesterday by Jack Fkjlly, matchmaker for the American Spott ing club and Judge's manager. Austin Is piobably the best known referee of 1 oxlng in the cou try Ge rgo Slier, of Chicago, excepted, and It Is probable that lie has decided more bouts of International Intetest than has the famous Chicagoan. The selection of Austin Is no relteitlon on the abil ity of Pat Murphy, of this city, the regular referee of the American Sport ing club. Hartley objected to Murphy on account of his being a close friend of Judge's. The latter was perfectly willing that Austin should preside over the contest. It Is probable, however, that Murphy will referee the prelim inary between Joe Allen and Toby Gardner, although they can have Aus tin If they want him. - JOHN THOMPSON, PIONEER. Oindnt Ills Homo in Newton Town Klilp Saturday. John Thompson, one of the pioneers of this pait of the state, was burled at Raid Mount yesterday. He was a brother ot Adam Thompson, of this city, and died at his home In Newton Saturday. He was ninety years of age and since tho time of his mairlage 65 years ago, lived In the house In which he died. Ills wife, who survives hlin, Is 87 years of age and he has u sister ot the same age. Mr. Thompson was a fine specimen of the rugged, honest nnd manly men who ate a product of the agricultural dis tricts of the country. In his early manhood ho helped to build the first hoiiFO in Carbondale. ANOTHER EXCRPTION FILED. Objections .Undo to George .Soviet's Liquor License Application.
