PROCEEDINGS GIVEN IN DETAIL I After a Brief Session This Morning the Members of the Commission Lett For Their Respective Homes Will Return on Thursday A ' Detailed Report. Special Staff correspondence. MAItANOY CtTT, April 10, 1897. The joint Senatorial and Legislative An thracite Investigation Commission, appointed In response to a petition to Gov. Hastings from the peoplo of Jmhauoy City, to look into tbe condition of tbe miners and the eausesBjfcHirned until next Thursday after holding an ndjourned session last night of about two hours and a brief one this morn ing. The commission will return to Msha noy City to give Senator J. J Coyle, who is at Pittsburg at present, a chance to givo Lis version of tlio situation. The members of tbe commission were sur prised that arrangements had not been made to have witnesses ready to appear before them. The names of several were presented upon tbe arrival of the committee, but they did not represent the mining eleruent.and the commission was not sparing in its criticism. After flnlsblug its work at Mabanoy City tbo commission will come to Shenandoah. Due notice of tho date will be given so tbat there may be a variety of witnesses on band, representing the miners, as well as tho busi. ness men. After examining John W. Parker, editor of tbe Mabanoy City Eeoord, tills morning, tbo members of the committee left for their re spective homos. Mr. Parker testified that diro distress prevailed among tbo mine workers. Ho said tbo condition at tho proscut time is decidedly worso than it has been at any other tlmo within ids recollec tion. Tho following is a full report of the pro ceedings before tbe commission yestord.iy afternoon and last night: D. M. Graham was tho first witness called beforo tbo Commission and was sworn by Chairman Meredith, and after giving bis residcnco ns JIabunoy City and his business a general merchant, stated that ho signed tlio petition to the Governor for the appointmont of the commission, but had fulled to read it. Alter nnurt of tho petition referring to the condition of the miners in tbe anthracite rc- ton had been read to him, Mr. Graham said the peoplo were not getting enough to cat; that thoy wore not able to pay for what they uceu, ami nau not enough money to support them. He said ho knew this from exper ience, i have got lumiltes dealing with mo," said be, "who took at least $15 or $20 worth of goods to support them respectably for two weeks Now they are not taking more than $7 or $8 worth, and are not able to day to pay lor that. 1 had checks brought to to me last pay day with thirteen omits fur a pay. This condition has been going from bad to worse since tho first of the year. I am lotung $500 per month. I can't continue much longer. Q. Does this condition of things oxlst in any other places than the vicinity of Malia noy a ty? A. I suppose it does. Q. What is the cause ? A. Tho colliories are only working from two to three three-quarter days a week. The majority of the peoplo are unable to earn enough to buy Hour. G.

Senator Campbell : How was It this money was deducted from his pay? A. llo was living in a house belonging to tbe Heading company. Q. Does the Iteadiug company, when miners live in their houses, furnub them with coal V A. I don't think they do. Senator Campbell : In our district coal miners are generally supplied with coal when tbey are living in oompauy houses. Senator Itoberts : Why is it this man did not get more than $5.03 after working that time? A. I guess it was on account of tbe place be was working In. Q. Some others probably could get three times the amount ? ' A. Very probably Q. It depends ou tbe character of the man aud the place 1 A. Yea sir. Q. So, that if ono man went into a mine and worked five days he wouldn't be able to earn fifty cents, while another might esrii three dollars? A. I don't know about that. Two dollars Is the limit here. (. It is not tbe fuult of the wages, is It? A. I think it is, in this case. The party is a pretty good man. I know it is tbe condi tion of the place, more than tbe condition of the man. I know be earned $1.50 and $2.00 In other places. senator aierenitn: no tue miners prerer to work by contract, or by tbe day ? A. I suppose, now by toe day. JOBKl'Il VIIIBWBKY, called and sworn.

Wouldn't it be a good thing If it was poorer In the saloon business and better if tho men get more work ? A. I think It would make some thing. Q. What is the cause of this condition of things in the anthracite region the cause of this poverty and distress ? A. Not work enough. BX-BCBaiRS TKKTtFrKH. Ex-Chlof Burgees II. J.

SOME STATISTICS OF FAILURES I Banking Failures Covered Moro Than a Fifth of the Total Amount Involved in tbe First Quarter of tbe Year Southern Indus try Checked. New York, April 10. R. Q. Dun A Co.'n weekly review of trade says: Out of 1,006 failures, with liabilities of t0, 752,561 In the first quarter, 74 banking failures covered more than a fifth oi the amount, $12,744,660, and 3,345 fail ures, with liabilities of $35,947,81)2, ot nearly three-fifths, are classified this week according to branches of busi ness, leaving only 687 failures and less than a fifth of the liabilities, $12,060,019, In branches of manufacture or trade not specified. Only 2 of the 13 manu facturing classes and only 4 of the 13 trading classes show liabilities for the quarter larger than last year, and only C manufacturing and 3 trading show larger average liabilities. For the mouth of March only 3 manufacturing and 4 trading classes show larger amounts than last year, and only 2 manufacturing and 6 trading show a larger average ot liabilities. In almost every case, also, it Is shown that the Increase Is due to one or two ex ceptionally large failures In that class. The returns compared with those of three previous years disclose much im provement already, and a bright pros pect for more hereafter. A sudden collapse In the wheat mar ket, exceeding three cents In a day, ap pears to have no other cause than a belated perception thai past acccepted estimates of yield and consumption, of ficial and other, have been misleading. Floods and unfavorable weather for seeding have no weight. The expecta tion of great scarcity and high prices burst like a bubble, and for a time tho .only jsupgprt was the taking of proiits by speculators -for a. fall. Facts have not warranted hopes of a great ad vance, nor do they now warrant much expectation of decline. The demand for cotton goods does not Increase, although sales of fair magnitude continue, but print cloths are dull. Speculation In wool has been checked by the possibility that duties may take effect April 1, and some large shipments from abroad have been countermanded, while traders here aro less disposed to sell, The Iron Industry Is hampered by the contest between the Mesabl ore In terests, which prevents as yet any set tlement of ore prices, and leads many to expect further .decline In finished products. Some furnaces have stopped because tbo production of pig had out run the demand for finished products, and heavy stocks remained unsold. Bradstreets' review says: The busi ness situation, as a whole, shows no gain. Staple lines are only fairly active. Overflows, washouts and Hoods con tinue to do great damage In the Missis sippi and Missouri river valleys. throughout a greater portion of which general trade remains practically at a standstill. Rainy weather, extending from the central west to northwestern spring wheat states, has rendered coun try roads almost Impassable, with the natural effect upon business. As the region threatened includes the richest portion of the cotton belt, the prospect for delay In planting a second time In dicates the possibility of a heavy re duction In acreage this year, whence the advance In cotton this wiek. MUs Dlolilnsou Guts n Sninll Vordlot Scranton, Pa., April 10. The closing arguments of counsel In .he Anna Dlck lnson case were made yesterday and Judge Aeheson charged the Jury. Ills Instructions were not binding, but they might Just as well have been, as they clearly suggested a verdict for the de fense. He said: "Personally, I be lieve the forcible entry Into Mlas Dlok Inson's room was Justifiable, though I don't ask you to accept my view of the matter. The action of the several de fendants In assisting to take Miss Dickinson to the asylum seems to liavo been none other than neighborly as sistance."
