(IE liability of em ployers to their cm ployei U given special ati on tin ii by U u n Thomas J Stewri. Secretary of Intorn Affnirs, in his last r port, , copy of which has juat been received by the Ubuald In discussing tho buIi jct the secretary fays tho fact cannot be ques ioiied that many of the accidents, es pecially in the mine, nrn occasioned b. tho negligence) of tho miner-" t emselvn and after they have had nmplo warning ol danger. Notwithstanding these warning thny hav decided to continue to work and as-ume tho risk. Tho Secretary quote from the reports f Minn Impctors. publishing tbo followln, "Xtraet Irom the repott of Mine Inspector Willi m Stein, ol town; "We havo n good mine law and many of our miners advocate its revision, and yot they are violating Its provisions o cry day, and when we consider the fact that If tho worklngmen would have observed and obeyed tho law during-the year 189U; wo would have had only eighteen doaths to record instead of sixty-six. Surely theso figures ought to bo on Incentivo for them to obey tho law, instead of clamoiing for its rovlsion, I am also aware of tho fact that some mlue foremen do not observo tho law as they shou'd, and consequently contribute towards tbo accidents, but tho largest per centage of deaths are the results of careless ness on tho part of tho worklngmen them selves." Fr m Mine Inspector McMurlrie's re port tho d lliiwin? extinct is taken: The number of fatal accidents for the year 1800 wos thirty-nino as ognlustflfty-two for tbo previous year, which is a decrease of thirteen; almost fifty per centum of the fatal accidents were caustd by falls of roofs and tides. This being the case every year it goes to show that more lives are lost from this cause than auy other, for, as in former years, that u largo num ber of both fatal and non-fatal accidents would be averted if tbo unfortunates themselvos would excrclso morn care. In lollowing up these reports Secretary Stewart says. "If the fear of injury, or of injuring others does not deter employes from taking well-known and reasonable rilis, when neither they nor their fellow employes can obtain pecuniary relief from tuoir employers, would itiey not bo more careless if the rule of duty was so changed that employes could obtain rodress from tneir employers, even though their injuries wero tho renlt of their own negligence, or the negligence of those employed with them? ' Oo the other hand, suppose that such a aw' was enacted, wuu.d not omployois decline to employ all negligent or carelo.'S persons? Would not employes who were retained bo more secure against act idem than thoy Hre now 7 Agiin if a more rgiU rule of.duty was imposed on employers and tboy observed it, would not employes, resizing t,beir inability to procure employ, ruont if they disregard the lives of those who labored with them, und were careless n the use of their emplovors' property, be ess negligent in tha luture? This is the olbortldoof the question und must not be overlooked. "The gravity of the subject, we appro hond, Is not fully realized by many who appeal to the Legislatures to establish tho legal responsibility of tho two classes. Nothing 600 ins easier to some persons' than for Courts and Legislatures to presciibelor pocific evils. In practice, nothing hardly is more difficult. Society Is a complicated thing; the working .of the human will cannot be foretold and compassed by law.1' Secretary Stewart's dicu,slon of tbt subject of liability of employers covers oror one hu'.dred and fifty pages. The article cannot be given jus Ice In other than pamphlet or book form. It would be well If some of our worklngmen would try to secure a copy of tho report from tho de partment at Harrisburg and read it carefully.

In lew years every inch of available ground owned by the coal companies in town will i) filled with culm and tho town shut in n all sides. There is con iderable complaint among housekeepors about moths and the pests eem t) be consiantly growing more p entifui. The damige done to carpet id other household articles seems to have. been great and some of the complainants attributu the growth to tho electric lights This theory is a plausible one. I know ol three families residing in a row; families Nos. 1 and 3 ute elee.rio lights und the tainily residing between ihem dcei not ibutwo families ure gre.tly troubled b the insects, while the lamily that does not use the electric liht makes no complaint. Speaking of electric lights reminds me that attention has friquenlly been called ol late to the pour service of tbo incandes cent system. 1 know of several business man who are complaining bitterly and unless the company improves its service it may loss a number of customers. Thero are few houses in town that are not infested with roaches, some of them so full that the housewife baa given up all notion of getting rid of them. Those who have an abundance have themiolvoj to blamo for not looking after thorn in good time. They are a nuUnnce and the sight of them drivos guests away, and sometimes givc3 ihem an idea that the housewife is careless or unclean. Peisislent cleaning and use of phosphorous or some similar exterminator will eventually cauEO the pests to pack their grips and steal out.

ONLY TWO ARRESTS WERE MADE f8f The Police Roportod a Very Quiet Night An Explanation by a Minor Concerning tho Storo Accounts. AY day pased over very smoothly and the disturbances ware very few. It was the belief of many that tho an nouncement by the P. & R. C. & I. Co. on Saturday of an in creased percentage on the basis would lead to jollifications that would keep the pollen busy during the night, but such was not the case. Chief of Polico Davis laid yesterday that it was a remarkably quiet pay day There wore a few drunks, but, with the exception of one, they wero not serious cases and the parties were induced to go to their homes. The police ran in a man yesterday. H was a vendor of ballads. lie was watched Saturday night, but retired quietly to bis hotel, lesterdaybo broke out and dis regarding all respect for the Sabbath h went about yonding his bnllad sheets, mere was a Case on West Onk stroet eaOy yesterday morning that some peopl regret did not fall into the h.nds of th police. It was a case of wife beating an iuo screams oi too uniortunate woman arousod the wholo neighborhood. Tho polir-e wo e on the lookout for the brutal husband, but he kept out of their way, an as the wife did not swoar out warrant th authorities cannot act in the case. ji. miner saiu last nignt, "Ihe reason pay day was so quiet is that, although th basis and working time have beon increased, the people havo suffered so much for several months p.st from half time and low wages it will tuko several good pays to put them in u position to ceieorato. sotno miners aro six months bohind in their storo accounts and it will take a good many weeks of full time and six per cent, on the ba Is to make them near level. I understand that many storekeepers aro complaining ibuut thoirre1 caip.s Saturday night, but come miners have told mo that tbo cold snap prompted thorn to put some cf their earnings Into winter clothing for their families, und that when they get their next pay they will try lighten the burden ot the storekeepers. must be remembered, too, that tho pay re' ceived Saturday did not include tho full time tho P. & li, company has worked, That does not come In until .the next pny and with the six per cent, on top of it, I believe the storekeepers will fare woll next time."
