YICTIM TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL
A Large Arm Vein Was Severed and the
Would-Be Suicide Almost Bled to
Death-Found Unconscious in
a Large Fool of Blood.
John Kemtok, a Polish prisoner In the
lookup, made a desperate attempt to commit
suicide in Ids cell early this morning by
jabbing himself in the right arm with the
large blade ef a penknife. lie barely es
caped bleeding to death. Ifljfrilck Is 88
years of age aud unmarried. He Yfoldes on
West Centre Street. lie ws a prisoner un
der a charge Of breach of tbe peace and
surety. The cause of his act is not known,
as bo has been unable to make a connected
statement slnee. It is believed that eltbor
disappointment in business, or a fear of
proseoatlon for forgery prompted It.
Constable Joe Vetera, of Wm. Penn, bad
arrested Karnlek and he was much surprised
when he walked into theooll at about eight
o'clock tills morning and found his prisoner
lying uneonseiotts iu a great pool of blood on
tho lloor of the cell. There were two other
occupants of the call, one of them, Itebert
Morgan. oCQIlberton, stated that during the
early morning hours Karnick occupied tho
top tier In tho cell. lie got down, tat an tho
floor of the cell, Morgan taking his place on
tho top tier. Shortly after Karkick asked
Morgan for the loan of n penknife with
which to sharpen a pencil. Morgan gave his
knife nud says It was almost Immediately re
turned to him closed. At about 7 o'eloek
this morning Jtorgau round Karnick lying
unconscious In the pool of blood. He tried
to arouse the man, but failed. Constable
Peters arrived ebon after. The latter says
ho carefully searched the prisoner before
locking Mill up, but found no weapon on
him.
Immediately upon making bis dlscovpry
Peters summoned l)r. q. M. Hamilton, who
found that the man had all but bled to death.
Restoratives were applied, but it was fully
two hours before tho victim gave Indications
of recovery. Dr. Hamilton subsequently
stated that he did not anticipate fatal re
sult. The wound that caused the hemorrhage
was on the right arm under the olbow joint.
It was about an inch in length and quite
deep. It Bevered the big vein of the arm,
but was not quite enough to cut tho artery.
Dr. Hamilton sub) tho attempt was as near
suicido as it could be. The wound was
stitebpd and dressed and after Karnick had
suflicicntly recovered ho was placed in a
carriage and taken to the Minors' hospital by
CousUblo Peters,
Tbo facts loading to tbo arrest are gleaned
as follows : Knrnick and Alox. Mcculla
formed a partuorthip aud started a grocery
business In one of the Convilto prdporties on
West Ccutro street. Karnick claimed ho put
$110 into tho business, but Mcculla said the
.sum was only 01. Yesterday it was agreed
to dissolvo partnership. Last night Karnick
went to Meculla's house In Wm. Penn aud
during a dispute over tho partnership n Hairs
tho former, it is alleged, threatened to beat
everybody iu the house. A warrant was
sworn out before Justice Green and the com
plainant, Meculla, insisted upon an iniuio
diate arrest. Peters arrested Karnick ou
West Ccutro street between IS and 1 o'clock
this morning. Karnick was given a hearing
beforo Justice Green nud committed in do-
fault of $800 bail. He was placed in tho
lockup at about two o'clock this morning.
When first arrested Karnick talked freely
about his troubles and showed a receipt for
$110 purporting to have been given him by
Meculla. The latter declares tbo receipt is a
forgery aud a comparison of handwriting, it
is alleged, bears out tho belief that the re
ceipt was written and signed by Karnick.
This leads to the supposition that Karnick
tried to commit suicide to avoid prosecution
on tho more serious charge ot forgery.
Others believe that hie mind has been over
balanced by troubles. Karnick was per
fectly sober when arrested and locked up.

Visit to Town.
Among the visitor's to town last evening
was John Conry, Chief Burgess of the Jlor
oogh of ailberton. Ho was accompanied by
two of bis townsmen, llobert Morgan and
lllclmrd Mclln, tho latter a special official.
There was no meeting of the Doroagh Council
to est 'ml the distinguished visitors
the freedom of the city, so tbey
started in ou their own hook and graced a
number of saloons with their presence. Be
tween three and four o'clock this morning
Chief of Pollee Tosh, Watchman Creary and
Policeman Goodman found them eugaged iu
a drunken wrangle on the streets. The
olllcers were disposed to be civil and asked
the men their names and plaras of residence.
The replies wonld not look well In print.
Continued civility only aeemed to engender
increased abuse, so the visiting Chief Iturgts
and his suite wore escorted to the lockup. A
blackjack was found on tbe person ef the
Burgess. This morning Chief Burgos Tabor
gave the trio a hearing. Tbey pleaded that
their arrest was unjustifiable, but the pollee
said the men were hardly sober enough when
arrested to know what they did. Cnlef Her
ges Tabor imposed a sentence of fine aud
costs, or 48 hours on each. None had money
and all were committed. McLain, the
special ollieer, was the roost indignant of the
trio and as he was being locked up threatened
to sue the borough for false imprisonment.
Burgess Conry mid the party came to town
to serve a warrant aud that accounted for
their visits to saloons.

Another Chapter In the Pennsylvania
Legislative Investigation.
PRODUCTION GREATLY LIMITED !
Mayor Kloholi, of Wllkesbarre, Beelares
That Last Month Many of the
Miners Earned Only Seven
and Eight Dollars,
Wllkesbarre, Pa., May I. The pro
ceedings of the legislative ItiYeettga.
tlon committee yesterday were attend
ed with the ereateet Interest on ac
count of the prominence of those who
were called to Rive testimony. The
most Important witness was B. II.
Lawall, general superintendent of the
Lehigh and Wllkesbarre Coal com
pany, that operates It collieries In thle
region.
He said his company could mine C
000,000 tons a year, but during; 1888
they had mined only about 2,600,000
tons, and about the same average thus
far this year. During the past three
months the miners have worked about
six days per month. "Wages in Wy
oming region were fixed In 1877, and
have not been altered since. Wages in
the Lehigh region are on a sliding
scale, and depend on the price of coal
at tidewater. The total number of
miners in the Wyoming region, Mr.
Lawall stated. Is about 12,000, and In
the Lehigh region 3,000. The monthly
pay of the Lehigh and Wllkesbarre
company. It the company worked full
time, would be $800,000. Last year the
company paid nut only about $8,600,000.
There is destitution among the men
owing to lack of work, and this distress
is greater than ever before. He could
not say that the people were In actual
privation, but tliev have to practice
the strictest economy.
"The Lehigh and Wllkesbarre com
pany has no company stores directly
or Indirectly," said Mr. Lawall. "It
costs on an average $2.50 to place the
average ton of coal on the cars at the
breaker. That includes the contingent
fund for accidents. One of our col
lieries on fire for the last six months
will cost us $100,000. We give prefer
ence to English speaking miners, but
make no distinction In outside labor.
No difference Is paid outside labor be
cause of nationality.
"I know of no combination to re
strict the output of coal. I cannot say
that our company Is connected with
any railroad company, nor do I know
of any discrimination In freights. The
relative value of anthracite and bi
tuminous Is about four to three."
Operator A. J. Davis was called. Ills
company, the Warrior Hun, mines
about 200,000 at full capacity per year.
Last year they mined tpbout 105,000
tons. This year there has been a con
siderable falling oft. In 1SSG the com
pany paid In wages about $260,000. This
year so far about $60,000. It costs any
where from Jl.tO to $E to place a ton
of coal on the cars. "The greatest num
ber of miners are Polish," he said, "but
we have all nationalities. The only test
with us Is competency. I don't know
of any destltutl 1 1 among the miners
at my colliery."
Mayor .Nichols was called. He 'tes
tified that the destitution In the city
was greater than he had ever known.
Since April 17 the city relief fund has
distributed aid to unemployed heads
ot 228 families. The mayor gave a
minute description of the city relief.
He stated that he had Investigated the
average pay ot a good many miners,
and had found that last month many
of them got only $7 to $8. The Im
portation of cheap labor from Poland
and Hungary Is the chief cause of the
distress here. Mayor Nichols spoke
vigorously in favor of a restricted Im
migration. Hon. Daniel Edwards, president of
the Kingston Coal company, testified
that there had been a falling oft In the
operations of the mines ot that com
pany. The miners cannot support fam
ilies on the money earned at present.
The production has fallen off a third
since last year. "Miners are not com
pelled to trade at my company's store,"
said Mr. Edwards. "They prefer to be
cause cash is not required, and they
can have their accounts deducted from
their pay. We have company houses
which are rented to miners at from $4
to $8 per month. We have no fund for
the protection of miners."
