Five suits for wnges weie brought InRalns't the Black Diamond Conl com pany on Thursday before Aldermnn 11. J. Delovnn, of tho sixth ward. The plaintiffs In the cues were former employes, who claimed, araountB due them ns follow?: Oeorgc Melon, 14. id: Alexander Gofiot, $10; Charles Hank er. ti.V); William V. Hanker. .".03; I'hlllp Gocjots, JlS3.lt. The company was teprcsinted by It. D. Htuntt, esrp. jiud I'hlllp Gosots by Attorney Louis. Giamcr. The first case called was that of .George Melon, but he soon repented of his action and withdrew It, the al dcrman assessing him for tho costs. I'hlllp GokoIs, who claimed tliiM lor woik done during the months of October, November and December, next took tho stund for himself. This cuso was a long and complicated one. It seems that before the strike Gogols nnd n partner named Smith took a lontruct with the Black Diamond Coul company to cut, load and deliver at tho breaker all the coal pruduccd In the Black Diamond mine. The Rtrlke tntne on and no work was done for six weeks. During this time Smith loft town and Gogols claims ho gave up the contract, but that President Thom as agiecd to give him $2.50 per dny for his labor, but that when ho went fur his pay tho company paid that they would have to hold him to his contract. The question Involved In the suit was whether this contract was binding af ter woik was resumed when tho stilke was declared off. Gogots pioved by several witnesses that tho company paid the laborers, and ho claims that this was proof that the company, not he, were tho employers of tno work men. Mr. Thomas, the president, claimed that instead of tho company owing Gogots that the plaintiff owed the com pany about $12. us they had paid to his laborers that much more than was coming to him. Mr. Thomas said that at no time did Mr. Gogots give up the contract. lie had shortly after the strike usked for an Increase In rate;-, but this was not granted. lie said the laborers were nil hired by Gogots and that the reason the company pa' them because it was the custom where he came from: Gogots handed in the men'b time and this amount was given them and deducted from the contrac tor's pay; the men had asked to have their wages so protected because they doubted Gogot's honesty. And then, also, this enabled the men to get orders for merchandise during the month. Gogots admitted that he had hired he men, but claimed that It was for the company, as he hnd been made boss nnd timekeeper by Mr. Thomas when tho contract was surrendeied. Doth sides swore sevetal witnesses and tho attorneys made short pleas. The remaining cases were similar In nature and were tiled together. The amounts were for balances due over and above ordcis which they had been given. The alderman took copious notes of the testimony and stated that ho would lender decisions in all the eases on Mondny. MORE VOULNTEERS. The Columbia Hoso Company Brings Membership Up to Quota.

Blaze in Mine Near i.ichmondnle Will Be Headed Off. Headers will remember that during the recent mineis' stilke a lire broke out in the Delaware and Hudson work ings near Itlchmondale. Some time pio vlous to that there had been a lire on the surface near the old Buffalo break er and, cave-In oecunlng, part of tho burning culm dump dropped down Into the mine, Igniting tho coal. The strlkeis at once delegated men to assist In bubdulng the tire. Their efforts were, however, of no avail and the blaze lapldly spiead. Seeing that the plan they weie following would bo futile, It was decided to check the spread of the flic by driving an open ing across the vein of coal In the path tho Are would natuially inn. Tills work is now well under way and it would seem ns though It will accom plish the purpose deslied. Several thousand tons of coal have been con sumed already and the loss to the com pany will be heavy. The lire will, how ever, In all probability communicate Into tho adjoining workings of tho new Buffalo colliery, although theio is not a large amount of coal left titers. vThe opening to the new drift being far removed from either railroad or breaker, the company has decided to let contracts to teamsters for tiam porting it to the tallroad.

Hcadacho Is a symptom, an indica tion of derangement or dlscaso In somo organ, and tho cauno of tho hcadnche Is dlftlcult to locate because so many diseases have headache as a promi nent symptom: derangement of th stomach and liver, heart trouble, kid ney disease, lung trouble, eyo strain or III fitting glasses nil produce head aches and If wo could always locates, tho organ which is at fault tho cure of obstinate- hendaches would be tv much simpler matter. However, for that form of headache called frontal headache, pain back o'f tho eyes and in forehead, the cause is now known to bo catarrh of the head and throat; when tho headache Is located In back of head and neck It Is often caused from catanh of the stomuch or liver. At any rate catarrh s the most common causo of such headaches and the cure of the catarrh causes a prompt dlsappearanco of the head aches. There Is nt present no treatment for catnrrh so convenient and effective as Stuart's Catanh Tablets, a now in ternal remedy In tablet form, com posed of antiseptics llko ISucalyptol. Gualacol and Blood Root which act upon the blood and causo the elimina tion of the catarrhal poison from tho system through the natural channels. Miss Cora Alnslcj, a prominent school teacher In one of our normal schools, bpcaks of her cxpcrlcnco with catarrhal headaches and eulogizes Stuart's Catarrh Tablets as a cure for them. She saj's "I suffered dally from severe frontal hcadacho and pain In and back of the eyes, at times so Intensely no to Incapacitate mo In my daily duties. I had suffered from ca tarrh, more or less for yeais, but never thought It was tho cause of my head aches, but finally became convinced that such was tho case because tho headaches were alwaj-s worso when ever I had a cold or fresh attack ot catarrh. "Stuart's Catarrh Tablets were high ly recommended to mo as a safe and pleasunt catatrh euro and nfter using1 a few fifty cent boxes which I pro cured fiom my druggists I was sur prised nnd delighted to find that both the catanh nnd headaches had gone for good." Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are sold bj" druggists at fifty cents per package, under the guarantee of tho proprietors that they contain absolutely no co caine (found In so manj- catarrh cures), no opium (so common in cheap cough cures), nor any harmful drugr They contain simply the wholesome antiseptics necessary to destroy anet drive from the system the germs of catatrhal disease.
