WAGES SUED FOB,
Fivo Minors Bring Actions Before
Alderman Delovnn.
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.

THE TIRE STILL BURNING.
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.
A TEMPORARY PUMP.

A new electrical pump, made by the

lyn street. It will be iun by an clec
tilo motor and will be inn until the
old pumps at No. a shaft can be put In
operation again, the tire last Sunday
having disabled them. Should the
mines become Hooded a largo number
of men would bo tin own out of woik.
and tho loss to both tho mineis and
the company would be henvy.

A CAUSE OF HEADACHE,
One Very Common Cause, Oenerallj
Over-Looked.
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.
