principles and usages of the Hebrew church
have been, under Inspired authority, trans
ferred to the Christian church'. Among
the many striking lllos:tstlons of this is the
fact that the singers of the temple wore a
white costume, this being the reason that the
Christian chureli has provided likewise,
which Inspires them with the feeling that
during the services they are ministerial as

THE MEMBERS GO TO THEIR HOMES
This Morning's Session In Mahanoy City
Was a Short and Unimportant One.
ShamoMn Will rrobsbly be
the Next Point For In
vestigation. The Miners' Investigation Coronffttce has
concluded its work so far as it bears upon
Shenandoah and Mahanoy City and tho im
mediate vicinities and the Members of the
commission have departed for their home.
No announcement ham been made as to what
the next program will be. Chairman Mere
dith was under the Impression tbst ihe next
place to bo visited would be Shnraekln, hut
after hearing that Ashland wasa mining town
in which none, or very few, of thb P0IUI1,
Lithuanian and Hungarian people are em
ployed, ho said it was possible the etrtntnlttee
would oxtend its investigation to that point
" 19 T,evefu onm nas per-
Uorwed lnoat of ' work it Is called upon to
porfotm under its appointment. The chair
man says ho cannot dovote mora than ten
days more to it, as lie has Important home
business to look after, so that It l quite llkcdy
tbat the committee will visit Shamokln dur
ing the latttfr part of next week anfl thou
proceod to make up its report.
In conversation yesterday some of the
commission stated that they believed some
thing of benefit would result front heir in
vestigation, hut they were not pfenared to
say just what they had in view, HnUe-
quently one of them dropped a few remarks,
however, tbat leads to the conclusion that
the benefit referred to will be a recoinmeiida
tioa by tho commission to tho State Bemito
I that Congress bo urged o (in, vide means for
a greater restriction on immigration. TLia,
toe memner conceded, is nut xueh a meSKtirc
is will bring immediate relief, but it is about
all the commission sees thus far within its
scope of authority.
After concluding its work here yesterdny
four members of the commission went to the
Ellangowan minos. as tho guests jf District
Superintendent William prougha!. 'he fjfth
member, iteprefentatlvo Itouert, went to
Tamaqua to vis.lt his father. The trip
through the Ellangowan workings proved
very Interesting to the commission. Super

it was Brennan there was a cordial exchange ;

place had becu examined before and after
firing a shot the party leturned to tho sur
face. After a short rest at Superintendent
Broughall's comfortable homo the party re
sumed the journey to Mahanoy City in the
carriages in waiting.
MAjfANOY Citv, April, 17. Thp Miners'
Investigation Committee opened the session
this morning, at P o'clock, In tho parlor of
tho Mansion House. Tho witnesses, mine
officials and company clerks, gave evidence
of an lusallsfactory character. Littlo, or
nothing, was learned In addition to what has
already boon givon. Tbo session lasted half
an hour and was followed by a short execu
tive session) which closed tho work of tho
cotntaUteein town.
CIIASLK8E. SUTLER,
Bookkeeper at Lentz, Lilly & Co. '3 Park
Place collieries, was tho first witness. He
failed to bring book and papers, ivs directed
b,y the committee, saying tboy were not his
property and the manager who has charge of
them 14 out of town, Tho miners under his
company earn from f to to $80 every two
weeks.
KDWARD RKE8K,
Park Place, superintendent of the Park
piaccaud SprTngdalo collieries, said hedldu't
have control of the hooka and papers and
couldn't bring them. He coold not say what
it cost to place a tou of coal iu the ear under
the breaker. The minors in his district earn
from f 10 to f80 every twoj weeks.
ltees Tasker, superintendent of the Maha
noy City division for the P. & It. C. & I. Co.,
also failed to bring books and papers. He
had knowledge of the cost of putting a car of
coal under the breaker, but was not at liberty
to state it.
The committee at this point decided that it
was useless to ask tbe local superintendents
this question. Chairman stated tbat the ob
ject of the committee iu subpoenaing these
officials was to ascertain the cost of a ton of
coal under tbe breaker, but was denied this
information aud the only hope of getting it
was to subpoena the higher officials, which
will be done.
Guatavus E. Blew, clerk in tbe office of
Division Superintendent Tasker, testified
tbat coal is sold to local iudlvidualsat the
followine prices : Broken, $2.50 par ton ; egg,
2.0O ; stove, $3 ; chestnut, $2.80 ; pea, $1.80 ;
buckwheat, 88 cents; rice, 88 cents. Miners
get coal somewhat cheaper.
WILLIAM LATT1MORK,
Bookkeeper for the Mill Creek Coal Com
pany, failed to respond to tho call of his
name.
WILLIAM II. Ult'HABDS,
Superintendent of the P. & U. collieries in
the Mahanoy district, had nothing new to
impart.
JOHN hKKATK
Stated that lie was formerly P. It. division
superintendent, but is now employed as a
general laborer. He said he had no definite
Information of destitutiou aud want existing
in Mahanoy City, but judged there are be
tween 700 and 800 people in very poor cir
cumstances. Ho gave tbe rate of wages for
Inside aud outside labor.
KLSIKR IVANS,
Of Hasleton, superintendent at the Mores
colliery, said be couldn't give the cost of
putting a tou of coal under tbe breaker. He
didn't have the books o.- papers of the ool
liery with him. They are not his property.
Had a goad deal of experience with company
stern, having been connected with them for
many years. Considered them a good thing
for the working people. The prices paid for
goods at the Company stores are about the
same inid in the town stores. The former '
always give full weight and the best grade
for the price. He had heard workingmcn
complain of company ato-es and had never
heard of a workingmau who was anxious for
the establishment of a company store.
Senator Coyle asked the witness if the store
at Motes was a company store and the reply
was tbat it was not.
Mr. Evans was the test witness and the
committee left here on tbe 10:46 a. m. P. A R.
train after holding a short executive session.

LIVING IN WRETCHED SQUALOR !
The Pennsylvania Legislative Committee
Unearths a Condition of Affairs
Which is a Disgrace to the
Land of the Free.
Pittsburg. Anrll 17. The legislative
committee that Is investigating the
condition of the miners of the Pitts
burg district completed Its second day
of personal inspection among the mliir
ers yesterday. Whop the work was On
lshed the members of the committee
made the statement that no such suf
fering wn! ever known by them to
exist before, and they are wefl con
vinced that something must be done,
and at once, to alleviate the condition
of the unfortunate thousands who are
tn the district.
The territory that was Inspected was
In and about Panning, on the Pitts
burg and Lake Krle railroad, about 40
miles above Pittsburg. The miners are
unable to make more than a dollar a
day at the outside, and very more fre
quently their pay for the day Is from
25 to E0 cents. The greater part of
these employes are foreigners, there
being but ten Amerloan born families
in the entire number.
Alongside the depot Is a row of sheds,
one story high and built of unplaned
boards. The building Is about 100 feet
long by 12 feet deep. It is divided Into
three departments, for each of which
the inhabitants pay $G per month to
the company. The sited stands on
posts, and a small lake of foul water
envers the ground under It. In this
building 100 peopl live. In the winter
time, it Is said, four of them would
He in a bed, place a cover over them
selves, and an many more lay on top
of them, their heads in the oppnsile di
rection. When the weather is warm
enough their bed is on the floor. Bread
and water forms the greater part of
their food, with canned sardines and
cheese occasionally as luxuries.
A little further up the stream are n
number of frame buildings which an
swer the purpose of houses. There 1b
absolutely no drainage, and under each
house a pool of stagnant water stands
the year round. All the refuse Is
dumped Into the little stream, and a
spring on one side of t la the only plaoe
for- the miners and their families to se
eir water. There has been much
sickness and a number of deaths late
ly, all of which are blamed on the sur
roundings. After leaving the settlement In and
about Banning the oommlttee went to
Jacob's Creek, baout three miles below
Banning, where the Dnr'r mines of Os
borne & Sagerare located. The condition
of the miners here Is worse, If any
thing, than at the mines at Banning.
The men work from three to four days
a, week, hut the wages they receive are
so small that they can scarcely manage
to exist. The greater part of the min
ers are foreigners, with a good sprink
ling of Americans, and some negroes.
The company owns the miserable
hovels which shelter the Inhabitants.
One of the most wretched Is a shed
about 18 by 12 feet. For this hovel tho
company receives $4 per month, and It
would cost about $25 to build it. The
occupants of these houses are Peter
joxes, his wife and child and eight
"boarclBTeJ.' Where these 11 persons
manage to finU raom enough to stretch
out at night is a mysftesyt--lttsWe there
was a varied assortment of furnitui
for the cooking, eating and Bleeping l
all done In one room.
"We jUBt manage to live," said Mrs.
Jones, "but If It wasn't for the board
ers that we keep Peter could not make
enough tn the mines to keep us from
starvation."
