George Nox McCain, the well-known writer for the I'hi'adelphla Press, has 1 been in the northeastern part of the state looking over the political situation, and in Monday's issue of that paper has . several pertinent comments. The fol lowing is from Mr. McCain's artic'o: "It is again necessary to call atten tion to the prophecy made in the Press months ago that all of Governor Stone's l appointments were to he made solely In rite interest of the machine, and that, the man who could not control votes had no business keeping a job under this administration. "The most recent case Is the appoint ment of J. E. Roderick to succeed Mr. Hrownlow as chief of the bureau of mines. Mr. Roderick comes from liazloton and tin? view taken of his ap pointment. from a political standpoint, is that it will be his duty to swing the mining element, through the mine bosses throughout the country, far the Quay faction. It Is not concealed that a great power is thus placed in the hands of a state official. It is a power that was not exercised by Mr. Roder ick's predecessor. If the coal districts which have heretofore been anti-Quay turn in for the machine, it can bo taken is an evidence of the pernicious par tisanship of Mr. Roderick. "The principal attempt of the Quay ites will be to capt.uretho Fourth dis trict. This will be done, it is hoped, with the aid of Mr. Roderick, who has for years been a lieutenant of Morgan R. Williams. Indeed, the effect of Mr. Roderick's appointment will likely be felt from the Schuylkill county line to Forest Citv." A Miner Wou a Cao. In court this week the case of the estate of James Kerrigan vs. Calvin Pardee, administrator of the estate of A. Pardee, was tried. It was originally instituted twelve years ago. and since that time James Kerrigan, the original plaintiff, and A. Pardee, the original defendant, have both died. Kerrigan was employed as a miner by the Pardecs at llazleton and brought the suit to re cover for mining 100 cars of coal, which he mined and blasted loose, but which he was not permitted to remove from the mine. The case waR first tried in 1891 before Judge Rice and the jury award ed the plaintiff SIOO. A new trial was granted and the case has since hung lire. The defense held that Kerrigan was not entitled to the loose coal in the gangway, that it was actually refuse matter and it not pay to take it out; furthor more, that it came there by a squeeze in the gangway and not by a blast, as claimed by Kerrigan, and that it would be dangerous to take out the stuff, as the mine would caye in. There were about 11,000 tons of this stuff in the gangway, and Kerrigan claimed that he was entitled to be paid by the company for 5,500 tons of it. j The jury also thought so, and rendered a verdict In favor of the plaintiff for $3,371.25. Teacher Saves Pupil's Life. Miss Lizzie Neiry, a school teacher at Park Place, heroically saved Harry j Snyder, aged 9 years, from drowning on j Monday. Shortly after school was dis missed the young boy wandered down to a mine breach having a body of water nine feet in depth in it. He accident ally tumbled in. A little girl ran screaming to the teacher. Instantly Miss Neary grasped a rope with which some children were jumping and ran to the breach. She discovered | the body rising to the surface. Then she deliberately and dexterously threw her quickly-made lasso and succeeded in placing it over the boy's head. Thus she towed him to shore. He was unconscious, blue and appar ently dead. She, however, proceeded to reduce to practice the physiological theory of resuscitation in a most vigor ous manner, aud finally succeeded in restoring the boy's life.

Two Men Give Up Th*lr Lives In Nearhy Mlnes This Week. Matthew Bell, a resident of Drifton for many years, was the victim of an accident late Tuesday night which re sulted in his death. He was preparing to fire a blast in his breast in No. 2 mine. In some unknown manner the fuse was lighted, and before the miner could escape to a place of safety the charge exploded, hurling coal and debris about the unfortunate man and crushing him in a frightful manner. Help was secured and Mr. Bell was removed to the surface. The Company's ambulance here awaited him arid with its mangled burden started for the Miners' hospital. At Oakdale Mr. Bell died. At tho dead man's home in Drif ton Ills wife was lying at, the point of death, and it was feared that the shock which would follow the bringing in of her dead husband would be too much for her condition. Consequently the body was taken to the hospital, where it was prepared for burial. Mrs. Bell was notified yesterday afternoon by Rev. J. P. Buxton of the sad fate of her husband. The deceased is survived by u family of six children. He was aged 45 years. The remains will be taken from the hospital to Drifton this afternoon and the funeral takes place from his late residence tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. The interment will be made in Freeland cemetery. Andrew Shortly, aged 28 year#, em ployed as a driver in Hazle Brook mine, was caught on Tuesday between cars and crushed to death. He was a mar ried man and is survived by a wife and one child. Tho funeral took place yes terday afternoon. The deceased was a member of the Slavonian Lutheran church and was buried in Freeland cemetery. Light Companion Combine. In lenghty articles published yester day and today the Hazlcton Standard tells of the formation of an electric light trust which has secured control of a majority of the stock of tho Edison Illuminating Company, llazleton; the West End Electric Light Company, West llazleton, and tho Freeland Elec tric Light, Heat and Power Company. It is also stated that tho promoters are after the Lehigh Traction Company, with a view to operating tho three light plants and the trolley system under one management. The price paid per share for stock to secure a controlling inter est in tho light companies, as given by the Standard , was SOS for the Edison stock, SSO for West End and $54 for the Freeland company. Local holders of Freeland Electric Light Company stock are reticent on the subject. From other sources it is learned that a ileal of the kind outlined above is contemplated but is claimed that it iayeta long way from materialization. As soon as a positive announcement of i the consummation of the scheme is j made, every citizen of Freeland should ! rally round the banner of municipal ownership of the light plant. This town is too independent to pass meekly into the grasp of any trust. Cut Down Dead Tree*. All opinion was handed down by the supreme court on Tuesday aflirming the judgment of tho Luzerne court in the case of Bryan H. Berry vs. tho borough of Sugar Notch. Mr. Berry was a motor man employed by the traction company and was employed on the I Sugar Notch lino. At a point within the borough limits an old tree, which had been in an unsafe condition, was blown down and its fall crushed the vestibule of the car upon which Berry was running, severely injuring him. Suit was brought in the local courts and a verdict awarding Mr. Berry $5,175 damages was rendered. The borough appealed to the supreme court, with the result as noted above and the borough will now have to pay. A Teut Show in Trouble. Lowrey Bros., proprietors of a tent show from Schuylkill couty. drove here yesterday from Drifton, where they exhibited on Tuesday, and squatted on the green near the old Lehigh Valley station, outside the borough limits. Two performances were given. During the evening entertainment several bolts and nuts were removed from tho wheels of the circus wagons, and when the ! mischief was discovered the actors threatened to shoot all the boys of town. The damage was repaired early this j morning and at 7 o'clock the caravan left town, headed for Beaver Meadow. PLEASURE CALENDAR. May 10.—-Welsh Singers at, the Grand opera house.

The petition came from the trustees of Mechanics' As sembly, No. 0127, which has been in working order for the past few years and which has now control of the land, and the application for an examiner was made in order that indisputable title can be given to the borough when the transfer takes place. The condi tions upon which the land will pass to 1 the borough's possession were published in these columns some months ago and have been accepted by council. The petition was approved by the court, and George T. Brown, Esq., of reeland, was named as examiner.

Mr. Dolphin read to court, a portion of the act of tlio legislature, approved March 10, 1801, forbidding boxing matches in Schuylkill, Pike and other counties. Judge Betchei refused to take any action in t,hc matter. Licence for Transient Dealers.
