FLOODS AT THE MINES Serious Damage Caused by Heavy Fall of Rain. Many Collieries in the Lehigh Region Forced to Suspend Operations—Four Persons Drowned at Mauch Chunk. At 3 o'clock Saturday morning tlio almost Incessant rain of tho past week culminated in a cloud-burst which did great damage in this part of the state. From 3 a. in. until late in the forenoon the rain fell in torrents. All the collier ies in tho region, accepting those which are drained by tho .leddo tunnel, suffer ed severely, creeks overflowed their banks and entire fields of crops wore destroyed. At Highland all work in the mines has been suspended, several slopes at Upper Lehigh and Sandy Run are drowned out, pumps have been lost in many collieries and a general demoralization of the coal industry lias resulted from the storm. So great was the alarm at Upper Le high on Saturday that the mine fore men who attended the Mountain Park excursion were summoned home. This time a year ago at most collier ies water trains were run day and night hauling water to enable them to operate. At Mauch Chunk four porsons were drowned it) the Hood. The victims are: Jesse Struthers. 40 years old; Patrick Johnson, 10 years old; Harry Haggerty, 14 years old, and William J. Morgan, 15 years old. All resided in tho town. The drowning occurred at 4 o'clock in the afternoon on West Broadway, imme diately in front of Struthers' residence. Details of great loss at Weatherly, Lehightou, Packerton and Allentowu are reported, but there was no loss of life at those places. Store Order Law Attacked. Tho constitutionality of the storo order tax law is to bo tested in court, and nine appeals have been made from settlements of taxes by the auditor general. This was the bill so vigorous ly fought for by tho representatives of the minors at the last session and which was so mysteriously hung up in the senate finance committee. It imposes a tax of 35 per cent on all store orders or evidence of indebtedness represent ing an amount due for wages, and applies to corporations, firms and individuals alike. It was said when the hill passed that it would soon get into court, and to test it the appellants sent a report of the orders issued for two weeks on which the auditor general made his settlement. For tho two weoks the Bethlehem Steel Company was taxed $2,236.84; Rochester and Pittsburg Coal and Iron Company, $6,440.02; Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company, $1,230.36; Buffalo and Susque hanna Railroad Company. $272; J. S. Moyer A: Co., $032.30; Empire Coal Min ing Company, $203.70; Hyatt School Slate Company. $165; Harvev & Sullivan, $730.08; A. Pardee & Co., $2,430.15. Counsel for tho companies set up numerous constitutional objections to the act, among others that if sustained its purpose will ho "to prevent employers and employes from contracting with each other; that it will deprive employes of the privilege of receiving advances upon their wages or of making pur- In cases of cough or croup give tho little one One Minute Cough Cure.

They allege, also, that as a tax law it is in conflict with the uniformity clause of the state constitution, as it does not apply to all orders, checks, etc., but only to such as are not redeemed in cash within thirty days. Auditor General llardenbergh is mak ing an investigation of the methods of business of corporations employing labor with a view to enforcing the act. The attorney general's depart ment will support tho constitutionality of the act. Counsel for the companies claim that even if the act bo held constitutional some or all of them will escape.

Brundage, United States consul at Alx-la-Chapelle, a copy of the game laws of Germany has been received by Hugh Malloy, president of the Freeland Game and Fish Protective Club. The laws cover several type-written sheets and in them Mr. Malloy has found a number of good points which at some future time he will endeavor to have in corporated into the laws of this state. The copy was brought to Mr. Malloy by S. J. Neußurger, who spent several days with Consul Brundage. The latter is a Luzerne county man and is known to several people in town. Prohibited the Game. Deputy Sheriff Honeywell yesterday afternoon prohibited tho ball game which was to be played by the Chicago Bloomer Girls and tho local club at tho Tigers park. Ho notified tho manager of the girls' club that ho would arrest thetn If the game began, and this caused the visitors to refuse to play. Over 1,500 people were around the grounds waiting for the game. The deputy sheriff's action was based on a petition sent to Sheriff Harvey, which was signed by the minister and live members of the English Baptist church. The petition asked him to prohibit the game. Drifton Neighbors Quarrel. There was much excitement at No. 2 Drifton last evening, due to a quarrel! between the Patzner and Storusky fami lies.

A Large Excursion The excursion of the White Haven Relief Association to Mountain Park on Saturday was largely attended, notwith standing the inclement weather. Nine coaches were usod to convey the excur sionists from Upper Lehigh and four from Sandy Run, and all were crowded by young and old. It is safe to say that a merrier or jollier crowd never left for a day's outing. The women and girls fared tho worst at tho hands of the weather and quite a number bad their drosses ruined. Notwithstanding that almost every ono in attendance had some form of protection to resist the downpour of rain, all were more or less wet. This, however, did not detract from tho pleasure tho excursionists suc ceeded in extracting from tho day. Had the weather conditions been fav orable almost twice as many more people from this vicinity would have attended. It was the first time in all the many years since tho excursions were inaug urated that it rained before the trains left and tho disappointment to the pat rons was keenly felt by those who at tended and also by those who remained at home.
