Th 1.1'ltlgH Valloy Coul Coitipntiy rreftcntM
n Surprising Caso Agnhittt u Claim Matle
For Conl Alleged to IIuto Ileon Mined,
iitul Defeats It.
CASE OP great Interest
to miners and mine op
orators was arbitrated
In tho offlco of M. M.
Burke, Esq., In tho
postolllco building, yes
terday. It was tho caso
of Matt. Dolinskl and
Anthony Slnlsky
against tho Lohigh
Valloy Coal Company, and was begun In tho
Novombor, 1891, term of court.
Edgar W. Bochtel, Esq., deputy district al
torney ; C. D. Hoycr, Esq , of I'ottsvillo, and
James Grant, of town, woro tho arbitrators.
S. II. Kaerchor, Esq , appeared as counsol
for tho Lehigh Valloy Coal Company, J. II.
Pomeroy and M. M. Burke, Eiqs., appearing
for the plaintiffs.
Slnlsky, one of tho plaintiffs, arrived from
Watorbury, Conn., where ho is now located,
In time to appear as a witness in the caso.
Much interest had been manifested in tho
case by tho public, and tho ofllco where tho
arbitration was hold was filled by citizons
throughout tho session.
T. It. Edwards, formerly inside foroman at
Packer colliery Ho. 2; Lawrence Murphy, as
tistant inside foreman; Michael llarrett,
luadcr boss, and Fred E. Zorbo, mining engi
uccr for tho Lohigh Valley Coal Company, wore
present a) witnesses for tho defendant.
Their testimony was of such a character
that it took tho foundation from under tho
plaintiffs case and knocked It Into smither
eens The arbitration opened at 10 a. m., Mr.
Burko making tho opening address in bohalf
of tho plaluilfls.
Thu testimony of Dolinskl and Slnlsky oc
cupied the forenoon and afternoon until half
past two o'clock. Leo Long was employed as
interpreter.
Tho evldonco of tho plaintiffs set forth that
they had been employed lu breast No. 3G of
tho West Holmes vein, of Packer No. 2 col
liery, lu 18X),and completed It In March, 18U1.
That after completing the work they had left
a large quantity of coal in tiie breast which
the company refused to load. They claimed
the coal amounted to 2,000 car loads. When
leaving the breast it was completely
closed, tho batteries, manways and
headings were all shut by the full of coal
Tho plaintiffs made a demaud upon tho mino
foreman to have the coal loaded and this he
refused to do ; they also mado demand upon
Col. 1. P. Brown, tho superintendent for the
Lohigh Valloy Coal Company, and ho denied
that there was any coal there belongiug to
the plaintiff?.
At this time it was impossible to determine,
whether there was coal In the breast or not,
as the place could not be entered.
Tho breast remained idle for some time and
was not touched owing to this a,it ; and then
Col. Brown, at considerable expense to the
company, had a heading driven from brcaat
Mo. 37 into breast No 30. Through this Mine
Foreman Edwards aud Assistants Murphy and
Barrett made their way and descended by a
rope into breast No. 30.
Theso gentlemen yesterday tostifted that
they found no coal lu tbe open space of the
breast and that the lower portion of tho
breast in tho vicinity of tho battery, together
with tho manways, woro completely closed
with rock. They also testified that tho entire
amount of coal that could ho mined from a
breast, such atlio one in controversy, would
not exceed eight hundred cars.
Engineer Zorbo produced his maps of the
Wost Holmes vein, to which ho swore, aud
which Bhowod tho exact location of tho breast
in dispute aud the surrounding .operations,
lie testified also that the breast would not
yield, when fully and thoroughly worked out,
above B00 curs.
This testimony came like lightning from a
clear sky to the claimants, bocauso they were
not aware that any opening had been made
into tho breast, as had been done under the
direction of Col. Brown.
The breast had been worked by threo dif
ferent parties before tho platntltli were em
ployed aud considerable coal removed from
it; aud the point was strongly presented by
tho defense that It would be an utter impossi
bility for tho plaintiffs to find there the
amount of coal that they claimed,
Tho uncontradicted testimony of the com
pany's witnesses brought this Interesting case,
because it was such, to a close ; and tho arbi
trators, before leaving town, rendered an
award of "no cause of action and lu favor of
the defendant company."
The singular thing in connection with the
caso is the testimony of the plaintiffs to the
effect that they had walked over a large
quautlty of coal that had got in the upper
part of tho breast just previous to their Ieav
iugit; and the statement oi Foreman Edwards
that the very day upon which the plaintiffs
ceased to work there he was uuble to get in
to the breast.
Mr. Edwards gave it as his opinion that the
batteries and manways were closed by the
plaiutlfl fur tho purpose of preventing the
company's employes from getting into the
breast, and they thus attempted to bolster a
claim for a large amount of coal valued at
some $1,000.
The result of the case may have a damage
ing effect upon the claims of miners hereafter,
a when there is a demand made it may be
looked upon as entirely unfounded and made
for tbe purpose of exacting false damages.
Dolinskl and Slnlsky are liable for the
costs in this case, but It Is understood the
company will take care of tbe expenses of the
jubitraton, not froui'auy mercenary motive,
but because of tho Indigent circumstances of
tho plaintiffs in tho caso.
Dollnskt has returned to his homo In Wat
orbury, Coun. Anthony Slnlsky is still a
resident of this place.
AN ODD CASE.
Frauk Slncusky Is l'r s)cutnd by Ills llrst
lllrl's l'urentn.
Love baa enabled Frank SIncusky to find
tho way Into a law suit, In conscqucnco of
which he spoilt yesterday in the lockup. Tho
peculiar leaturo about tho caso is that al
though Frank refuses to marry bis sweetheart,
Mary Kavoccsky, and ho Is in limbo because
of the refusal, tho couplo aro on tho best of
terms and all day yestorday Mary stood with
out tho coll door, alternately weeping over
hor troubles aud giving hor lover consolation.
According to tho story told tho J usllfo yes
terday Mary and Frank secured a marrlago
llccnso a year ago, but tho girl's parents woro
opposed to taking tho young man as a son-in-
law and tho wedding ceremony was nover
porformod. Notwithstanding tho suspension
of tho nuptial arrangements thu couplo stuck
to each other as the little wiuged pests stick
to lly paper,aud a fow days ago Mary's parents
concluded to afk Frank to get married or go
down to I'ottsvillo after tho next fall election
When tho option was placed beforo Frauk
ho eaid that times wero so hard ho found It
ditllcult to keep up a three trip lino of com
munication between his mouth and his stom
ach ; aud should ho bo called upou to support
two, one or both would havo to starve 'lho
girl sided with her lover aud said sho was
willing to wait, but tho parents argued that
as Cleveland had given up fishing and an ex
tra session of Congress would soon bo held tho
chances of Frank managing to support two
wore pretty fair. Frauk stood on his baso
aud Mary coached him in great stylo. "You're
a dandy waiter," sho cried.
Tho girl's parents concluded to givo tho
young man time for reflection, hut upon hear
ing that tho couplo wero together in the
houso of a mutual friend they buckled on
their trappings of war and mado another
chargo. They hastened to tho lair aud were
confronted by tho daughter, who had locked
her lover In a bed room aud rclused to give
up tho key. Frank bubscqueutly surrendered
to Constable Toomey and went to tho lockup
with jaunty step. His sweothoart upbraided
bor husband aud rcmaiucd in tho corridor of
tho jail until bail was secured.

A HOME-MADE BIOYOLB.
A Local Uuolug Wlio Mario u Ofiuil and
Suhntlitlul Machine.
George Skcath, of town, determined to
have a blcyclo. The baying of it was beyond
his means aud so ho resolved to try his hand
at making it, as ho always had a fondness for
"tinkering," as he clls It. Ho now has a bi
cycle and a reporter Inspected it at his real
denco on North West street yesterday after
noon. He first made a draft ot a machlno and then
proceed d to make It. Although consistiug
of hard wood and iron it weighs but a little
over 34 pounds. Tho fellows and spokes of
tho whiels are mado of whito ash, hickory
aud white oak woods, aud tho spokes aro
made of gum wood. Tho tires are made ol
i by i Inch iron and all tho wooden bars and
braces are firmly put together with iron
clamps. The mechanism upon which thu
handlo fits and by which tho front wheel is
guided was mado from iron gas pipe aud the
cog of the hind wheel upou which the prdal
chain fits was takou from a clothes wringer
which wasonco in use in Mr. Skcath's houso
hold. The wheels of tho blcyclo are 31
lushes in height and one revolution drives
the machine 30 feet.
Tho bicycle has not cost tho genius more
than forty cents, aud that expenditure was
mule in sccuring'the tires. All the work on
it was dono during tho spare hours at night
and a plane, pieces of glass aud saml paper
wero the ouly tools employed on tho wood
work. The bearings of tho machlno aro of
ordluary wrought Iron, but they aro perfectly
true aud fit snugly. Mr. Skeath said hetricd
to get pneumatic tires, but tho manufacturers
wanted twenty dollars a pair for them, so he
has concluded to pcddlo his machlno along
with tho iron substitutes and thinks ho will
got along all right.
Mr. Skeath is twenty-five years of age aud
lives happily with his vrifo aud child In a
comfortable furnished homo opposite the
Lloyd street school building. Ho Is a son ot
John Skeath, superintendent for the P. Si It.
0 & I. Co. In the Mahanoy district, and
holds a clerkship at Kohluour colliery. He
expects to put the bicycle in use within a few
days to carry him to and from the office.

CrUp's Cordial lteceptlon.
Special to Evening) riniiALi)
Washington, August 8th.
N his message to con
gress, read at noon to
day, President Cleve
land recommends tho
unconditional repeal of
tho Sherman act. Ho,
howover, recognizes
that silver is ouo of tho
money metals of tho country which must bo
maintained, but points out that with tho
present attitude of European countries tho
proper ralto between gold and silver cannot
bo maintained by this country alono. There
fore ho docs not favor tho coinago of silver
under present conditions except forsubsldlary
purpose.
Tho President will not toko up the tariff
question until tho Sherman law is repealed.
When tho latter is disposed of ho will deal
with tho tariff.
He thinks tho European nations who aro
now depressing tho prlco of silver can, by
the suspension of its coinage in this coun
try except for subsidiary purposes, be co
erced Into an international agreement
more favorable than we have heretofore
had. Ho is in favor of silver on a pnirty
with sold and stands by the platform of
1802, but pays that platform cannot be
carried out, for tho reason that a fixed
parity cannot bo maintained,
The sessions of both branches yesterday
were very lirlef. After the election of
speaker Messrs. Holman, Heed and Simp
son wero nppointed a committee to escort
tho speaker to the chnlr, and as the dis
tinguished gentleman entered tho main
door leaning on the arm of Mr. Holmun,
the members broke Into cheers. As Mr.
Crisp assumed the cavel n sudden hush
fell upon the house. Iu a clear but moved
voice the speaker said:
"Hcpreseiitntives: Profoundly grateful
for this mark of your confldenco, I shall
try to be In somo degree worthy of It by
an honest effort to discharge the duties of
the ofllce on which I am about to enter
with fidelity, with courtesy and with the
strictest Impartiality."
Prayer was then offered by the blind
chaplain of tho last house, the Iiev. Dr.
Milburn. In the course of his prayer,
during which the members reverently re
mained standing, he said:
"In this critical moment ot the nation's
life, endow thy servants with supremo
statesmanship and patriotism; inspire
them with sound judgment and good
counsel, that all their deliberations and
decisions may be guided by thy good spirit
to the welfare, honor and prosperity of the
people. Bring to naught the selfish
schemes of men who seek their private
gain in public misfortune. Restore con
fldenco In the minds of the people. Dispel
nil fright and panic, and grant that our
country may soon return to its accus
tomed ways, crowned with prosperity and
blessed with peace."
After the election of the other nominees
of the Democratic caucus the house pro
ceeded with the drawing for seats. Mr.
Heed, by vir no of being an ex-speaker,
and Me isra. Holman and O'Neill, by vir
tue of their long sorvice, were permitted
to choose their beats In advance. After the
drawing the housa adjourned out of re
spect to the memory of the late William
II. Enochs, of Ohio.
Tho senate spent just half an hour In
session. Tho resignation of Senator Beck
wlth, of Wyoming, was announced In a
communication from thnl gentleman.
Before the committee appointed to wait
upon the president and inform him thut
congress was in session and ready to re
ceive any communication he might be
pleased to make had time to perform that
duty the senate adjourned, in respect to
the memory of the late late Senator Stan

Here Yesterday.
A business meeting of tho Schuylkill Trac

MacIIonry Wllhclm, Esq., and John F. Fin
noy were In attendance. Matters of much
Importance iu reference to tho Lakeside
branch woro considered, and tho reports re
ceived wero of an encouraging naturo.
Tho company has doclded to push all now
aud repair work now under way to a speedy
completion on all tho branches controlled by
tho company. Tho right of way over all P. &
It. and private lauds has boon granted for tho
construction of tho Lakeside branch, from
Yatcsvllio to Mahanoy City, and work will
bo pushed on this road, as it is tho desiro of
tho company to havo that branch complotod
within a short time. Tho rails arrived last
evening and wero unloaded at tho Pennsyl
vania depot this morning, A gang of mou
will boput to work ou Contro streot either
tho latter part of this or tho first of next
week. It is said tho road will bo in full opei-
atiou botween bhouandoah and Mahanoy
City beforo October 11th.
The Lakesido branch is looked upon by
well Informed persons as likely to becomo tho
most iwpular of tho whole system. It will
unquestionably bo tho most profltablo branch
to tho company from a financial standpoint,
as tho traffic over tho road, whon completed,
will bo enormous. During tho past month
tho various branches now in operation
carried 100,000 passongors, and with tho com
pletion of tho now branch that flguro will bo
greatly increased.

lOELARKISis a rosi-
dent of Lost Creek, and
according to tho peoplo
of that placo aud tho
surrounding patches ho
is ono of tho toughest
of tough characters. A
discovery at tho lockup
in town to-day soemed
to confirm tho opinion
theso peoplo havo of tho man.
At an early hour this morning Larkin was
placed in tho lock-up by Constablo Peters on
a warrant issuod by Justice Green, of Wm.
Pcnn. Tho warrant charged that Larkin
stole a razor from an Arabian woman peddler
and boat James Judge, of Lost Crook, who
interfered when the theft was committed.
It was 8 a. in. when Larkin was placed
under lock and key. At 8.10 a. in. Constablo
Tosh took a prisoner from ouo of tbe colls
and ho says at that time Larkin was sitting
quietly in his cell; at 8:20 Chief Burgees paid a
visit to tho lock -up and was greatly surprised
to find that Larkin had not only escaped, but
tho cell ho had occupied aud the ono adjoin
ing it looked as if they had buou wrecked by
some oxploslvo.
Larkin bad occupied tho second cell from
tho east end of the corridor. Tho cell at the
oast end contaiucd no prisoner. When
tho csctpo was discovered tho Burgess fouud
that tho top part of the iron grated door of
Larkin's cell had been forced from Its hinges
aud doubled inward, so that it left a spaco
sufficient for a man's body to pass through. A
small ladder which was formorly used to light
tho street lamps Bhowed how Larkin reached
tho window at tho east end of tho corridor
and jumped Into tho yard at tho rear of tho
Columbia Huso Company's stable.
Tho wldo plank which had been used iu a
sleeping bunk iu tho cell Larkin occupied had
been torn from its fastenings and reclined
against the inner wall of tho cell immediately
next to tho door in such a manner as to form
a means for climbing up to tho opening that
was made.
In tho empty cell at tho cast end of tho cor
ridor the heavy pUuks had becu torn from
tho top and front of tho urinal, and this ex
posed to view an opouiug largo enough for
tools to bo passed into tho cell Larkin occu
pied. Everything Indicated that Larkin had out
side assistance, but nothing was left behind
to show with what instruments tho benches
of tho two cells had been wrecked or how the
cell door had been forced.
The escape will no doubt como up in somo
form at the meetiug of tho Borough Council
to-night. Ono of the que3tious uo doubt
hlngos on the responsibility of this borough
