THE CASE WAS ONE OP RECK
LESS TRACK CROSSING.
THE VICTIM DIED AT ASHLAND
He Was Negloctod by His Coun
trymen and His Identity Was
Established After 'Much
Difficulty.
FTON SEICH, a Ga
lician. met with a
horrible accident at
tho South Main street
railway crossing short
ly before 9 o'clock
this morning- lie at
lompted to cross tho
tracks when tho east
bound passenger train
in charge of Conduc
tor "Ben" Hendricks v?as coming out of
tho cut that is just west of the crossing,
Seich did not cet over in time and was
knocked down.
Tun engineer Btopped his trainas soon as
ho could and tho victim was picked up.
He whs placed on the board pavement near
the crossing to await the arrival of friends
and, as the Shamokin train was duo, Con
ductor Hendricks was obliged to pull up to
the depot of town.
Seich presented a horrible sight His
right leg wus cut off at the kneo and his
left vas horribly crushed. It was held
below the knee bv shreds of flesh. Ills
head and faco were badly cut and bruised
The unfonuuate man writhed in agony.
Hundreds of Hungarians, Italians, Slavs
and others from tho neighboring barracks
stood about him, but no one mado an offer
to relieve him of bis Buffering. They did
not oon send (or a doctor. When con
ductor Hendricks aaade his run back to the
Pennsylvania depot to go to Pottsville he
took down 'Squire Mouaghan and a nurn
ber of citizens.
No jno in tho crowd that surroundod the
victim would acknowledge acquaintance
with him, but after 'Squire Monaghan de
clared that ho would hold the victim'
boarding matter responsible for the inhuman
treatment of the sufferer, several men in
tho crowd volunteered to point out the
boarding house. The 'squire and several
people went to the place designated. It
was No. 9, Schmidt's row, behind the old
skating riuk. When tho boardlDg master
saw the crowd approaching he attempted to
escape. He was stopped.
No one in tho houso knew the victim,
Even the boarding master said, "I no
know him," but after loarning that he was
in the hands of constables tho man said the
victim's name was as given-" above, that he
was about 89 years of age and bad left a
wife and several children in Galicia, about
two months ago. The boarding-muster
thon consented to receive the victim in his
houso. From another source it was
learned that Seich had been in this country
about six months and worked on the dirt
bank at Wiggans' colliery.
Pending these Inquiries Chief Burgess
Smith arrived, "Jimmy" Quinn brought
a stretcher from tho depot, and the victim
was made as comfortablo as possible for his
removal to the Miners' Hospital on tho
10:16 train, Seich was thon very low.
Seich's condition grew worse during tho
journey to the hospital and he died upon
hisarrival at Ashland. The remains were
placed on the return train and aro now
restinifat his boarding houso in Schmidt's
row. It is quite likely that the county will
havo to defray the funeral expenses.

T is understood that the

of this state are about
to inaugurate a move
ment against the boy

and that tboy will ask
the next Logislaturo
to pass a bill providing regulations for the
employment of telegraph operators. The
requirements they will advocato will bo
that evory person before taking a position
as operator shall have experience of one
yoar, shall not be under 21 years of age,
and shall not be assigned to block signal
work without having some exporionce in
that line. They will also ask for a pro
vision forbidding an operator being on
duty more than ten hours a day. No
legislation touching upon railway signal
servico can be too strict.
V
This su'jcct recalls to my mind a criti
cism made by an exchange on a speech
made at St Lmis recently by Mr. Gom
pers, the great labor leader. Tho criticism
is amusing to some ox tent, and for that
roaBon I give it. Mr. Gompors said, "la
bor is the creator ot all the wealth in the
world; look at tho grass, the trees, the
hills and the" minerals. Of what use aro
all these things until labor has made them
marketable ? And the exchange criticizing
says : "But then the grass was not created
by labor, nor tho trees, nor the bills, nor
even the minerals. The grass is uselul as
food for the cattle; the trees aro useful,
some of them in fruit bearing and others to
stand under when tiie sun is hot or the rain
lively; and as for the hills, thoy are use
ful in various ways to beasts and birds,
But not any of these things was created by
human labor. Tho grata and trees grew on
the earth, and the hills raised their heads
long bofore mankind got into the Garden
of Edon and perpetrated a misdeed which
has not yet been romedied. Labor is truly
a great thing. Few of us can stoer clear of
it, and nearly ail of us do our share of it,
but wo suppose tho globe would get along,
and the creative forces would continue
their activity, if all of us should strike our
jobs to-morrow."
But, then, there is a more serious view Of
this question. It is true thai labor is not
"in it" when wo speak of who mado tho
hills, put grass on them, and put minerals
in them; but let us go an inch or so farther
and ask of what uso the minorals in the
hills would bo if we had no labor to get
them to the market? No, labor did not
put In the minerals, but In this age It is
mighy handy in getting it out, even if we
must put up with it for thrco days a week
and are obliged to pay tho mon the $2.50
basis.
I had a conversation with Mr. A. B,
Cochran, of Pottsville, when he was bore
he other day, regarding publio water
works. He said that plants for now wator
works aro the most unreliable things con
tractors can bid on. Tbey always exceed
the estimates, and he mentioned the Lost
Creek and Kauffman dams to verify the
statement It will be remembered that
Mr. Goshran mado the estimate that was
used in tho water company's suit on the
first injunction. His estimate was $150,000
for the proposed works for town,
"Was that estimate based upon low
figures? I asked.
"Yea, sir;" answered Mr. Cochran
promptly, "I asked all the manufacturers
and others I consulted with to give their
lowest figures and upon them I mado my
estimate. I say, candidly, that I would not
undertake to give Shenandoah public
wator works for $150,000. The figures aro
too low and I only gave them to show bow
ridiculously email the estimate oi $05,000
Is."
...
The Shenandoah correspondent of the
IVi. Weekly Record writes that "A ma.
lority of the voters of this borough havo
doclarod themselves In favor of new water
works, at two separato elections. This
shows that the people havo fully made up
their minds on that question, and why a
newspaper which claims to look Bfler the
intorosts of the town has tho efirontery to
opposo the will of the peoplo, is a question
of much speculation and, to say the least,
has a very fishy look,
The Hxrald has the "effrontery" to
state thsta majority of ha voters of Shen
andoah did not declare themselves in favor
of new water works at tbe special election
last June. Tbeole of this borough Is at
least 1,809, The total vote polled at the
special election was but 1,278 and of that
number 6U votod against the project.
fir
Another election would show these water
works schomers where tbey stand, Tho
Herald has not and does not believe that
tho town can bo given 200,000-dollar water
orks for f 45 000 (one of the original
estimates) or 95,000. It has taken a stand
againt the hoodwinking of the publio by
tho illegal joint committee, which found it
necessary to roiert to a star chamber
method for transacting business. Every
thing the joint committee has done thus far
has been fried and turned over to suit the
tastes of its members before the public has
had a chanco to get a smell of it ; and when
tho committee finishes cooking it the only
fare left for the pooplo will be SOUP.

David Alexandor Fulton, son of An

out the anthracite region, died at the home
of his father In Shamokin, Wednesday
afternoon. Death was caused by typhoid
fever. Tho deceaed was a little over 24
years of age. The father is visiting in
Glasgow, Scot'and. He was cabled for
last Tuesday.
A report that the T. & R O. & 1. Co.

of Philadelphia, and John W. German, of
Harrisburg, are the leading candidates for
State Presidont thus far. John R. Mast, ol
Reading", has beon urged to come out as a
compromise csndidate by his friends, and I
may do so. Tne accounts were audited in
Philadelphia. The report of the secretary,
William Weand, shows a net increase of
2,000 in membership, making the total al
most 50.000 for the state. S.ate Treasurer
I. S. Smith, of Reading, reports a 'balanco
on hand of $11,86811. The balance
the previous year was $14,000. Tho
deficiency is caused by the reduction
In the per capita tax made last year. The
receipts of this offico during tho year were

the P. O. S. of A. building account is
$787 86. Tbe expenditures for the year
