IT HAS ALMOST A NEW BREAKER
ONSIDER A B L E in
tcrcst was manifested
in tli suit of Mrs. Ann
Haley against tho bor
ough of Shenandoah,
which was brought to
recover damages for in
Juries sustained by t
fall upon u defective
pavement, but no ono
interested in tho case
had tho slightest idea that tho facts would so
tax tho intelligence of a jury to prolong a
deliberation on a vordlct for two days and
nights. '
Tho caso was called for trial on Monday
morning and Mrs. Haley went into court wltl:
tho advautago of an award on arbitration
amounting to $'J,000. Tito original claim was
for $10,000. At about 4 o'clock Tuesday
afternoon the case was -concluded and the
jury retired. Ycsterdayafternoon a vordlct
for $1,072.00 was returned, after tho jury
had been locked up about 10 hours.
Shortly beforo -1 o'clock on Wednesday the
jurors in tho casa appeared beforo Judge
Albright, tho Lehigh couuty Judge who is
acting in Judgo Pershing's absence, and
stated in writing that after a deliberation of
22 hours they had exhausted all means con
sistent in the case and had failed to reach a
verdict. They said it seemed impossible to
reach a verdict and asked to bo discharged.
Judge Albright insisted upon a verdict and
ouo of tho jurymen, D. M. Haas, of Gordon,
answered, "Your honor, wo stand 11 to 1,
and wo can't agree. It's no nso trying.1
The Judge said he wauted a verdict and upon
o tiering to give any instructions that might
bo rermired and failing to hear a rcsponso ho
ordered the tipstaves to take tho jurymen
back to their room. A confinement of 18
hours more brought tho stubborn juror to his
senses.
After tho jurors were discharged ono of
them stated that the "ouo" was John Wood
ward, of Pottsville, who wanted to givo Mrs
Haley a verdict of $3,000. Tho cloven had
agreed upon $1,1250. Wednesday night
Woodward reduced his figures to $2,500 and
Thursday morning ho met bis eleven
colleagues on $1,672.50 mark.
Of courso the verdict is a practical victory
and a great saving to tho borough, for had
tho award of tho arbitrators been coufirmed
by tho jmy the costs and other expenses
would have made a call upon tho borough
treasury to tho tune of considerable over
$10,C00. But. as it is tho borough is paying
dearly for neglect on the part of somo of tho
old borough olllcials. Had the borough
ordinances been enforced Mrs. Haley would
not bo crippled to-day and tho taxpayers
would not bo obliged to pay out $2,000 from
which there can bo no return and which, so
far as thoy aro concerned, is practically
thrown away. Had the Chief Burgess, who
was in office at tho time Mrs. Haley was
injured, performed his duty he would have
compelled tho property owner to comply with
tho borough ordinances and repair the
damaged pavement, but he was very likely
like many others who havo held tho same
office a mere figure-head, or too lenient with
the property owner and now the borough
must pay tho fiddler. Of course it sounds
very nice to say that the borough can sue tho
property owner and make its accounts in this
case balance, but the oldest inhabitant fails to
remember a case where tho borough has been
mulcted for damages and his called upon tho
property owner responsible for tho troublo to
reimburse it. In this branch of publio
atlairs thero has beeu as much negligence as
In any other.
Thn borough olllcials must bo more vigilant
u such matters and if tho present Borough
Council is not on the alert it will become
entangled iu several suits for damages. Tho
new pavement in front of the Glenwright
property on Noith Main street is a dangerous
trap. It is about three inches higher than
the adjoining paveroont and several citizens
have already stumbled over it. Mr. Glen
wright says that complaints have been mado
repeatedly that his pavement was not at
grado and he changed it to make it. It is
the Council's duty to see if it is at grade, and
If so, make tho adjoining owners raiso their
pavements. If Mr, Glcnwright is wrong he
should be compelled to comply with the
ordinances No time should be lost as this
trap is in one of the most busy thoroughfares.

To-morrow tho HEitALD will have an Im
portant announcement to mako concerning
tho proposed special palnco car trip to Chicago
and return in July, next, for tho benefit of
friends who wish to accompany tho two
teachers who mav bo victorious in tho World's
Fair contest. Terms for a Pullman palace
car for tho trip, via Niagara Falls, and ac
commodations at Chicago havo boon secured
and will bo explained fully in tho next issuo,
Attention is directed to tho fact that tho
entire World's Fair may bo seen for ono ad
mission fco of 50 cents. For this amount all
of tho general buildings of tho exposition
compiny aro open to tho visitor. Theso
buildings aro located in Jackson park, which
is 553 acres in extent. Thoy aro thirteen iu
number, and cover an nrea of moro than 200
acres. Their gallicries supply an additional
floor spaco of nearly fifty acres. Tho cost of
theso buildings exceeds $8,000,000, or moro
than double tho cost of tho great Paris ox
position of 1889. Iu these buildings aro con
tained all of the exhibits mado by tho coun
tries of tho world, tho states of tho Union
and the individual oxhibitors from all
quarters of tho globo. Theso exhibits make
tho exposition. Every exhibitor represented
by them has been granted space by tho ox

catalogued and placed In ono of tho build
lugs of tho lair, according to tho naturo of
tho oxhibit. All off theso exhibits, bo they
competitive or merely illustrative of a
science or Industry, are open to tho visitor
who has first paid an admission feo of 50
cents at any of tho general entrance gates of
tho park. This fco entitles tho visitor to
roam at will through tho genoral, stato and
foreign government buildings. Thero is not
a single building in Jackson park containing
an exhibit that tho visitor is debarred from
entering after having gained admission to
the exposition by the payment of 50 cents at

women of town arrived and led them away
in different directions, in groups of twos and
threes. There wero only two instances whore
receptions seemed to bo given by relatives
and then there wero profuse exchanges of
kissos by both men and women. Excited
chattering, wild gesticulations aud the
baudling and reading of letters and pieces of
paper marked tho other receptions.

HEN operations aro
resumed at tho Indian
Ridge colliery tho min
era and workmen will
almost feci as if they
are going to a now
mino. Somo great al
terations liavo been
mado Instilo aud out
sinco last January,
when operations wero
suspended and many tons of coal will havo to
bo run through tho breakor beforo tho cost of
tho alterations and improvements will havo
been mado. It runs into tho thousands of
dollars. Tho breakor has been greatly
improved. As ono of tho workmen put it, it
has bocn turned completely insido out and
back again. Forty men aro now engaged on
tho breaker and are working hard to finish it
by tho first of tho mouth, nt which timo, it is
reported, tho colliery will start again.
It will be Impossible to detail all tho al
tcrations aud improvements. Brief reference
will suilico to givo an idea of what has beeu
done. Two sets of chain elevators havo been
added to the machinory outfit. Ono is largo
and has thirty buckets, 2 feet by 18 inches
in size. Tho other, a smaller ono, has forty
buckets 10x12 inches in size Tiiero havo
also been placed in tho breaker three extra
screens, four oxtra jigs aud four extra
scraper lines, two of which aro for tho
steamboat coal and two for the bony coal
from tho breaker to the rollers. A "shakor,'
which looks and operates liko a riddle, is
also being put in, Considerable work has
also been spent on tho coal piano, It lias
oecn completely rcmodoled and all tho old
timbers have beeu taken out aud replaced by
now ones, 'llie breaker cngiuo and jig
cugino havo also como in for a share of tho
extensive repairs. So much for tho breaker.
But there is tho jig house, tho largest iu
tho region asido from thoso which are
operated solely for jig purposes. This jig
houso was constructed a3 an addition to tho
breakor last August, but has never been put
iu use. When Indian Ridge starts up again
tho jig houso will start with it. It is a
mammoth affair aud cost considerable money.
During tho idleness now in forco this branch
of tho industry has received considerable
attention. Tho jig plant covers an area of
50x90 feet and is 40 feet high. It contains
eight jigs and eight sets of scrapers. It will
givo employment to a largo unmber of hands
and will in no wiso decrease tho force that
was required to oporato tho breaker beforo
tho jig addition was built. Tho object of
constructing it was not to reduce tho force of
bauds, but to turn out better coal. In this
plant tho jigs will bo operated by ropes aud
not by belts, which is tho system in many
other jig plants. Tho reason for this is that
where belts aro used they must bo as near
parallel as possible aud as tho conjunction of
tho jig houso with tho breaker makes
parallel lines of motor power impossible the
other system has been adopted and tho ropes
run in all directions, almost liko tho stitches
in a crazy patch work quilt.
It would tako ono several hours to seo all
tho repair work that has been done in and
about this breaker since it has been idle. To
Bay that tho breaker, so far as tho interior is
concerned, is new covers the ground.
But all tho improvements have not been
confined to the breakor. District Superin
tendent Bnuligan has had moro than that to
attract his attention. While tho great struc
ture on top was donning its spring suit of
clothes Insido Foremen Thomas Campbell
and Morgan Davis were giving tho inside
workings a treat in the shape of improve
ments. Tho old insido slope will bo a dead
lottor when the colliery resumes operations.
Its day of usefulness appear to have passed.
It was instrumental iu bringing thousands
and thousands of tons of the dark woaltb
from the great depths to the surface, but as
the locomotive has taken tho place of tho
stage coach aud as tho telephono is fast
supplanting tho mail service, so has this
veteran slope been superseded by other
openings. Tho men who have been making
repairs and improvements inside have driven
a gangway from tho bottom of tho Buck
Mountain shaft to connect with the bottom
of the Buck Mountain slope (tho ouo above
referred to) and whon tho colliery is put in
operation again all tho coal will bo hoisted
up the insido shaft instead of up the elope.
But to further insure the abandonment of
this old slope tho meu are making a plane on
tho Buck MouutHln vein. This plane will
tako the coal from tho second lift of the
Buok Mountain slope to tho bottom of the
shaft. This will do away with the old slope
altogether and it will be obliged to tako iu its
tiiulniMW shingle.
