PARDONS FOR
ONEIDA MEN
Six Mors of Them to Bs
Free After Today.
Before the Board of Pardons
at Harrisburg Yesterday
the Order for Their Re
lease Was Given.
Six of the men sentenced for partici
pation in the riot at Oneida, October 10,
1900, will be released this afternoon
from the Pottavillo jail. This change
of their temporal condition was aif ec led
yesterday afternoon, when the Board of
Pardons sitting at Harrisburg granted
to all of the men serving one year for
assault and battery committed on that
memorable morning, a pardon.
The pardoning of the men after near
ly nine months incarceration, from the
uatu of conviction, January 18, will bu
a source of much gratification to the
colleagues of the men and the United
Mine Workers, who have worked so
hard with the atturneys to affect the
pardons.
Three months ago three of the men
received pardons. The following is a
list of the uion so far pardoned: Steph
en Gregaski, George Tumsbiek, Mike
Calahau, John llotfer, Charles Horish,
fcteve Torriah, John Urica and Mike
Poiiga. The latter two men were
charged only with assault and battery,
while the others were charged with
rioting.
There are yet in the jail throe men,
namely, Thomas Harcur, who was tried
for, but acquitted of the charge of mur
dering Ralph Mills; ltertie Ilorlalla and
Jacob Rightmcyer. The former is serv
ing a three years' sentence, while the
latter are serving terms between two
and two and one half years. It is not
known, but it is supposed that the
Roard refused the pardons of the three
men but it may be possible that tho
cases are held under advisement.
Mine Cave Opinion.
The supreme court has handed down
an opinion in the case of Michael Noo
nan and others against Calvin Pardee,
administrator, which deals witli mine
caves. The case is from Hazloion.
The supreme court says that coal com
panies are not liable for any mine caves
affecting the surface six years after tho
coal is removed, The opinion is of
much interest to this region, as it estab
lishes a law whereby property owners
could secure no damages from tho coal
companies providing the coal was re
moved six years before the surface be
came affected.
The plaintiir purchased a lot in Hazle
ton in 1890 and erected a d welling house
upon it. In January, 1892, while he oc
cupied the house, it was ulTeeted by a
mine cave, the ground subsiding about
three feet, and the property was dam
aged. The plaintilT sued for damages
and at the lirst trial he wa* awarded
$2,700. The lower court granted a new
trial on certain reasons of error sot
forth by the defense and on the second
trial the p'aintiff was awarded $2,790.
This second trial was finally sent to
the supreme court in April 1900, and
eighteen months thereafter the supreme
court hands down an opinion granting
a new trial and giving the law oil •'dam
age by caves" such an interpretation as
will ho of serious moment to property
owners in all mining localities.
Tli; most important part of the su
preme court opinion holds that no dam
age can he secured for property injured
by a cave if the mining was done more
than six years before the cavo occurred
or suit was brought, as the statute of
limitations would intervene.

THEATRICAL.
The glamor of romance which Bret
Harte threw over the mining camps,
immortalizing their gulches, their hills,
their streams, and more than all, their
strange types of frontier humanity, finds
living expression in "Tennessee's Pard
nor," the comedy drama which will bo
seen at the Grand opera house next
Wednesday evening. This beautiful
play is a combination of a series of
unique and delightful stage pictures.
These portraitures illustrate the rude,
primitive traits of mining life, and re
voal beneath the rough exterior more
warmth of heart, honesty of purpose
and devoted friendship than is to be
found beneath the more polished surface
of city culture. "Tennessee's Pard nor"
depends on the author's construction
and lines, and the ability of the com
pany for its success, and as it is difficult
to tind any glaring faults in eitiier of
these, indorsement naturally succeeds
the production of the play and accounts
for its remarkable success.
The cast includes such well known
people as Will W. Crimans, Fanny Cur
tis, Florence Weston, and several others
of equal note. The Sand Hill quartette
has scored such a brilliant hit every
where, and vvili render an entirely new
repel toirc of songs this year.
X X X
Hoyt's "A Day and a Night" was
given at the Grand last night before a

close.
