THE UNITED MINE WORKERS.
District No. I hi Convention Drnmnds
I
and
Itoupli
l'ottiivlllc yesterday. There were about fifty
delegates pusent, with District l'rcsi.Icnt
John Fahoy In the chair. The morning
session was taken up with routine work.
The afternoon session was an important
one. A pledge was sent to each Legislative
candidate, in which the anti-company -tore
bill introduced by Hon. Joseph Wyatt, who
is a candidate for re-election, was endorsed,
as was also linn. Uias Davis' semi-monthly
pay law. The candidates are asked to favor
all mining legislation endorsed by the 1'.
Jt. W.
The convention strongly condemned the
company store as a great and burdensome
evil, and calls upon business men to Join witli
them In opposition to the evil.
A resolution was adopted favoring the
election of ono inspector to each ten collieries,
and when tho term of the piesent inspector
esplros that he be elected by the people iu
the district.
Tho following resolutions were adopted :
WllKUKAs. The recent terrible calamity that
occurred at the Twin Shaft colliery, ritt.lon,
where fW lives were saeridced through the care
less negligence and stupidity of olllcials who
receive princely notaries from the state to see
that the mine laws now upon our statute hook
(that have been enacted to preserve life ami
limb) are properly enforced; therefore, be it
Unsolved, That M e the delegates iu conven
tion a-scmhlcd do hcnttlly deplore the nnnee
cvnary hiss of life In and around the anthrncite
coal region of Pennsylvania, believing and
knowing as we do that If the mine In-poctors
were more diligent in compelling the corpora
tions and mine owners In enforcing the mine
laws it would lessen fatal and nou-fntnl accidents
to a minimum as compared with the present
vv hole-ale slaughter.
Resolved, That evidence Is In abundance at
every colliery In the nntliracito region known
to almost every employe that the mine inpt c
tors, superintendents and mine bosses perv ert
the intent and obstruct the enforcement of the
mine law s to the gnat ditrliucnt of the miners
and laborers,
Itc-olvcd, That we appeal to all miners ami
laborers of the anthracite region to Join vv 1 1 1 1 us
In extending this organisation Into localities
where no slab bodies now exist, believing that
as we do unite they can belter secure and more
roadllv enforce nil observance of the laws
Intended for their protection.
The piesent Milium' llxainining Law was
strongly condemned, claiming it to be only a
fane. Knmnuel Jenkyn, candidate for i!e
cordcr and cx-Treasurer of tho I'. M V.,
was heartily endorted. A committee of one
from each legislative district was appointed
to oMain a pledge from candidates to support
legislation favorable to mine workers, and
that a committee of fivo be also appointed to
watch legislation at Harrisburg. Tho bill
introduced by Hon. Klias D.tvis, when a
member of tho Legislature, known as the
Semi-Monthly l'ay law, was commended as .1
groat benefit.
Inquire of the first person you meet how

ful accident yesterday afternoon. Ho wai

fifty feet headlong to tho ground. During
the fall he retained presence of mind, and
kept his arms outstretched, which saved him
from instant death. His arms struck first,
breaking the bones in both arms. One log
was alsu broken nnd his face was a perfect
jelly, lie was removed to his home, nnd this
morning takcu to tho .Miners' hospital. There
is llttlo hope for his recovery, as ho is in

Colliery Safe.
Two of tho masked burglars who pounced
upon nnd bound Thomas O'Connell, the
watchman at tho Cambridge colliery, on tho
morning of tho 10th Inst., and then blew
open tho safe In the colliery olllce, but failed
to get anything of value, are In custody.
The men under arrest are John Wilson nnd
(ins danger, two notorious crooks who hail
Irom Mt. (fennel nnd aro well known to the
police of many parts of the state Iloth were
released from the Sunhury jail but a few
days previous to the Cambridge robbery.
Wilson was In jail to await trial with Mike
Kline, of tills place, and two cithers for
attacking a watchman at tho Alaska collleiy.
near ML Cannot, but, like Kline, was
acquitted upon trial.
Tho arrests vvoro kept seeict at tho time
they wore made so as to not give the alarm to
the two masked burglars who aro still at
large, but as tho men under arrest nro known
to lie tho ringleaders, publication of tho facts
can work no injustice.
Wilson was tho first man arrested. Ho was
caught at ltivorside, opposite Danville, by C.
it I. I'ollceman Kleindentz, of Mahanoy City;
Watkins, of Jit. C'armel, and Lippict, of
Shamokin. Tho arrest was made on Wednes
day afternoon. Wilson spent tho night In
the lockup at Mahanoy City and on Thursday
afternoon was brought tp town and taken bc
foro Justico Cnrdln, who committed
him to the l'ottsvillo jail, In default
of Jl.POO, for further hearing. Ganger
was arrested on Thursday night, in Slia
mokln, by. C. & I. Policeman Lippict and
Constable Swift, of that plucc. Ho was
brought to town yesterday by Llppiett and
C. & I. I'ollceman Connors. After being
arraigned beforo Justico Cardln ho was com
mitted to tho l'ottsvillo jail In default of
$1,000 hail for further hearing. Iloth men
will bo given 11 hearing beforo Justice
Cardln on Monday morning, at 11 o'clock,
when the witnesses tho C. & I.polico havokept
in tho dark will bo produced. Hoth Wilson
and Ganger protest their innocenco nnd say
that prior to their arrest they had not been
in Shenandoah for over n year. This tho
police can easily disprovo and tho evidence
against tho men is very strong.
It is not likely that burglars will bother
with coal company properties iu tho region
for some time again. This case has been
worked up to set an example, as thero is no
stolen property to recover. Immediately after
the robbery tho country was Hooded with
telegrams and tho same day no less than ten
warrants wcro distributed among tho C. & I.
police in various parts of tho region. Tho
evidence upon which tho pollco worked and
its -ourco will probably develop at the hear
ing 011 Monday.
Last night, upon complaint of Councilman
j I). H. James, who is insido foreman at tho
; l ambrulgc colliery, Ulnet ol 1'ollce Tosh
and Policemen Lee and Stanton arrested
1 tlneo tramps found lounging at the lima
1 kiln. They aro held in tho lockup to await
identification, Mr. James having a suspicion
that tho men may havo been part of tho
masked quartette. Up to this afternoon
their identification had not been made.
