'CUE USELESS QUARANTINE.
JlR. PLAIT SATS THE COMMISSIONERS ARE
NOT TO BLAME.
(ny Will TTnve Something Co Say to tho
Legislature Later On There It no Ronbt
About the Dreadful Slate of Things Down
tho nay The Evil a Pointed Oat In the
Major' Committee5 Report.
The office of tho Quarantino Commission,
tit 71 Broadway, was deserted when an Eten
Ino World reporter callod thoro this morn.
Ing. Commissioner Nichols was in Albany,
his partner, Mr. Bacon, said, Socretary Mel
len was dctainod at homo by illness in his
family.
President Thomas 0. Piatt was found at
tho offlco of tho United States Express Com
pany, 82 Broadway.
When asked if ho had road tho report on
tho Quarantino establishment prepared by
Mayor Hewitt's Medical Cominittco, Mr.
Piatt said :
" No, and until I havo rend it I cannot dis
cuss it. I am iuforuiod, howovcr, that tho
eminent physicians who miido tho report do
Hot reflect on tho Commissioners.
"Wo shall havo something to say on tho
pubjoct when our report to tho Leglblaturo is
ready. It is now in preparation.
" Thoro is no question about thu dreadful
Mate of things (town tho bay. Tho Commis
pioners know how inadequate tho arrange
ments there aro. They havo repeatedly asked
tho Legislature for relief, but nover pot it.
" An export sanitary engineer employed by
tho Commissioners has mado an examination
of noffman and Swinburne islands. His
report will bo embodied in tho ono o send
to Albany."
The Mayor's committeo consisted of Prs.
C. It. Agnew, E. G. Janoway, Stephen Smith,
Sichard II. Derby, Hermann M. Biggs. T.
, Prudden and A. Jacobi. They find that
if cholera broke out in this city, an incalcu
lable injury would bo sustained by trado.
The revenue of tho hotels is estimated at
9100,000 a day, and this incomo would ccaso
tho day cholera mado its appearance.
The time required for a journey
to San Francisco is about tho maximum
period of cholera incubation. Thus tho
perms of tho plague could bo convoyed from
Now York to tho most distant points of the
Union.
Every citizen of the United States and tho
British provinces, says the report, is person
ally interested in the quarantino at Now
York.
After pointing out this danger to commerce
if tho inland States establish n quarantine
against this city, tho committee go en to
point out 6omo of tho gravest faults in the
present institutions on Hoffman and Swin
burne Islands.
Tho establishment is controiled by tho
Quarantino Commissioners, the Health Of
ficer's powors being limited to police regula
tion. The buildings on Hoffman Island
afford no moans of separating the
'ecxes, nor of isolating suspected groups,
peoplo able to pay for the comforts of Iifo
cannot get them, and the water snppy is in
sufficient, hot water being an almost unob
tainable luxury. Thoro is no proper cleans
ing and disinfecting plan.
TThe committeo advise, among other things,
ft bettor sea wall at Hoffman Island, and
think tbat tho surface should bo cemented
ind properly drained. Walls should divide
the different classcB of persons do.
tained, and new buildings, fire-proof and
filth-proof, nro sadly neoded. Scparato
kitchens should be provided and an isolated
building for tho disinfecting appliances.
At Swinburne Island tho condition of
things is also vory had. Radical changes in
the hospitals aro urged, or, better still, now
buildings should be erected.
Tho committee suggest the appointment of
1 ft commission, to consist of the State En-
cincor, tho Superintendent of Pnblio
Works, the Mayors of Now York
and Brooklyn, a membor of the New
York Health Board, tho Health Officer of the
Port and the Quarantine Commissioners.
This body should estimate tho expenses of
the nocossary alterations.
In sending this report to the Governor Mr.
Hewitt says that it discloses a condition of
affairs whioh calls for the imme
diate action of tho Legislature. He
assures the Governor that if a commis
sion should be formed to bring the Quaran
tino establishment up to the highest standard
of sciontifio and medical knowledge, the oo.
i operation of the city authorities will not be
8 wanting.

Home Suggestive Facte Shown by Caw Ink
nnd Pen Co.' New-Year's Advertisement.
Caw's Ink and Pen Company, of 189 Broad
way, took a novel method of introducing
their goods to tho New York City publio on
Sunday, and, in connection, mado a porfect
tost of tho value of seven of tho morning
papers as modlums for advertising.
They printed a special odvortiaoment oocu.
pying a wholo column and nicoly illustrated.
It appoarod on the eleventh pago of the mam.
moth edition of Tns Wontn on Now Year'd
Day, and was given a conspicuous placo iu
tho other six papers,
Tho advertisement contained this off or:
Tho Caw's Ink and Press Company will give a

Caw's lllack Fluid Ink, price TB cents, for tho sum
of the only condition being that tho applicant

o'clock r. M. Tuesday, Jan. 8, IRsa.
Thoro were about three thousand appli
cants at the storo opposlto John street in
Broadway to-day, nnd Manager F. C. Brown,
Bookkeeper O. II. Nourso and Salosmen O.
J. Fcis nnd Louis Brown were as busy as
been in a tar-bucket waiting on tho peoplo
who, formed in singlo fllo, wero waifod on
by Mr. Brown with lightning rapidity
Each applicant was nsked what panor ho
raw tho advortisoment in or what papers ho

replies, with a result most flattering to Tub
Yonu. ,,
Tho applicants woro of all ages and from
every nlk in life, from tho bankortotho
bootblack, the wifo of a clorgyman to a
schoolgirl or saleswoman.
To each v,m issued n card reading liko
this and indorsod with tho name of tho first

Manager Brown said to n WonM reporter
that he had no anxiety to sell any more of tho

obliged to, but ho wanted to advortiso tho
goods, and know who to advertise with.
Tho reporter made a summary of tho record
at 11.30 o'clock. Among tho 918 persons who
stated what nowspapors thoy read, and in
which they saw tho column Now Year's offer,
tho answers woro as follows:
The World Ml

Ihin ot

Herald.. M
Theroforo, as the table shows, there wero
24J moro readers of the advertisement in Tna
Would than in all of tho other six papers
combined, or almost twice as many 1
Thero wero just seven times as many
WonLn readers as thero wero of tho noxt
highest competitor, and so far as concerns
tho paper which wishes that Mr. Pulitzer had
never come into Now York joirnalism, why,
it had only about ono-nintli as many readers
of the advertisement as had TnE 'Would.
These figures speak for themselves, and
meantime about leu thousand New Yorkers
will soon possoss a tip-top fountain pen for a
nominal price because they wero readers of
Tne Would of New Year's Day.

IsrxciAL to TnE wonr.D.1
Keadino, Pn., Jnn. 3. Tho loDg-nntlcl-patod
minor's striko has at Inst takon placo
and 15,000 men, or about two-thirds of
all tho colliors oroployed in tho Schuylkill
region, aro idlo to-day.
A total suspension throughout tho cntiro
region is not expected, nnd in tho cases of
four individual operators tho demand inaOo
by tho minors' joint ooramitteo has already
boon conceded and their employees will ro
main nt work.
In tho districts whero tho minors havo
obeyed tho order to strike it is believed that
n long and bitter strugglo will bo tho result.
Tho North Ashland Colliery, operated by
tho Philadelphia and Heading ltailroad Corn,
pany, has a few hands at work this morning.
Tho Logan and Centrolia collieries, oper
ated by Itiley & Co. i tho Morris Hidge, op
erated by Troutman fc Co., and tho Boll
more, operated by Bickol k Co., aro working,
as tho operators agreed to pay tho additional
8 per cent, ahovo tho $2.00 basis and an ad
ditional 10 por cent, until a settlement with
tho Beading Company is arrived at.
The oollieries of the Philadelphia and
Bonding Bailroad Company at Shamokay, nnd
all betwoen Ashland and that placo, aro nlso
idlo. Tho railroad is working at Shonandoah.
All the Beading Bailroad miners ore at
work.
Tho miners north of Pine Qrovo at Brook
sido, Lincoln and Now Lincoln collieries
have obeyed tho order to strike and the
minos aro idlo to-day. Brooksido is the best
colliery owned by tho Beading Bailroad
Company, shipping from 350 to 400 carsn
day. Lilly & Co., operating tho Park col
lieries; Nevals Bros., operating Primrose
Colliery, all situated near Mahanoy City,
have decided to pay the present rato of wages
and continue work ponding a final settlement
by the Beading Coal and Iron Company.
The Mill Creek Coal Company, operating
tho Middle Lehigh Colliery, at Now Boston,
and other individuals throughout tho region
took similar action.
At tho Beading road's offlco in this city,
amplo arrangements have been made to sup
ply tho places of all striking crowB.
Tho perpetration of outrago in tho Mahanoy
Division has caused tho company to incroase
its polico forco, and over three hundred men
have beon forwardod from this city to Tarn
aqua, Mahanoy City and other points to
guard the company. The destruction of the
engine-house of the Enterprise Coal Com
pany near Shamokin, where the miners were
to have been ordorcd out to-day, tho colliory
having thus far kept in operation ; the emp
tying of the Mahanoy Bosorvoir and the
burning of engine cabs at Tamaqua are all
acts of vandalism which tho company say
they will punish.
A number of passenger cars fitted up with
bunks were forwarded from hero to-day, to
be used by the polico and the new men who
are being boycotted and aro unable to find
boarding places. The outting of coal
trains has been frequent and a number of
crews were stored between Port Clinton ond
Tn ru aqua.
The strikers attribute the former occur,
rence to the inexperience of tho now men and
say that the throwing of stones was dono by
irresponsible boys. They also olaim that the
burning of the ongino cabs in the Tamaqua
round house was of accidental origin.
The Gordon and Mahanoy plants, over
which the greater portion of the output of
the Bchuylkill minos is hauled, are not in op.
eration to-dav. Fourteen coal trains left tho
regions last night, and this ovening all coal
that has been mined will bo on tho way to
tidewater. A general tie-up of coal trans,
portation may be expected unless there is an
early compromise.
President Lalloy, of tho Miners and Labor,
era' Amalgamated Association, the most pow
erful organization in tho coal regions, an
nounced that the striking miners will go to
ork at onco if the railroad will consent to
the arbitration of tho question of wages.
Prominent Knights, howovor, say that oven
if the 8 per cent, udvonco is continued the
minors will not allow coal to be moved by
non-union trainmen.
Congressman Brumm, of Pottsvllle, an ac.
knowledged labor leader, is endeavoring to
effeot a conciliation and has issued an ad.
dress to.day to the miners, advising them to
contiuuo at work at present pending a new
agreement with the company. If the com.
pany refuse to make a fair agreement thou it
will bo lime enough for a strike.
PniLADELriiu. Jftn. 3. Advices received
hero from the Bchuylkill coal region this
morning state that tho Beading minors went
out almost to a man, and that mining is prac
tically Busponded.
At the Beading Company's offices the in.
formation given ont is very nioagro. General
Manager HoLeod refused to be inter,
viewed, but sent word by a messenger
that so far as the road was concerned
it is working better to-day than any time
since the striko began. Ho ndinittod that the
minors struck, but stated that ho had no in.
formation as to tho outlook and could not
tell how long it would continue.
It is conceded that the places of the miners
cannot be as readily filled as those of the
other employees and that the situation is not
as rosy as could bo wished.
An officer of the Beading Coal and Iron
Company said: "If it is really so that tho
miners havo struck, it means a panio in the
coal trado.
" The striko in the Lehigh region ha kept
tho Beading bare of coal, every ton mined
having promptly been shipped to market,
and tho strike finds us with a very
small stock on hand. With tho
Bchuylkill and tho Lehigh miners both out a
coal famine must ensuo and great suffering
will be the result. The blow will fall hardest
upon the poor who buy their ooal by the pail.
People of means have their cellars stocked iu
anticipation of just such a result as seems
now to have onsued."
When asked whether he thought that this
striko would cause tho Lehigh companies lo
grant concessions to the minors of thut
region, ho wiid;
'' They can't do it. 1 hoy nro pledged not
to glvo to tho men ono cent more wages than
they were receiving when they struck, and I
do not seo how they con get away from tho
8MK&?iTtalLitoSllliilMml
stand they havo taken. Tho men, on tho
other hand, aro equally firm."
Tho sarao officer said that tho Wyoming
mines could not supply thn smnllcst propor
tion of tho domand from this section of tho
country, oven if they turned their trafllo from
tho nsual channels to supply this trade.
Thero is nothing new to-day in tho railroad
situation here.
Ashland, Pn., Jon. 3. Tho Knights of
Labor minors at a meeting horo last night
decided to go on strike and as a conscqucnco
thero is but ono Beading colliery in this die.
trict working to-day nnd that is short-handed.
Biley .t Co. have mado a satisfactory agreo
mont with their employees, and their col.
lleries aro in operation.
An indignation meeting of tho oitizons of
Philadelphia to protest agaitrst tho Beading
Company's nction will no held to-morrow
evening in St. Michael's T. A. . Hall.
Chairman Loo is expected to meet Mr. Pow.
dorly to.day, and it is stated that the General
Executivo Board will be asked to give their
countennnco to tho strikers.

A Shocking' Hlaht Ilevealed When Jeweller

Ho was Socretary of tie New York Lodgo

of tho Lodge and conclndod by saying :
When yon call upon mo I will be dead, as I shall
kill myself. Hope Is gone and there Is nothing of
value or pleasure for me to look forward to In this
world.
About 7.80 a. it. to-day two members of tho
lodgo called at Ghipporfield's storo and
rapped for admission.
They heard a sound as of a heavy article
being dragged along tho floor, and when tho
door was opened they wero horrified to seo
Ohipperfield lying upon the floor across the
entrance, with the top of his skull blown off.
Tho dying man rolled over on his baok and
became unconscious, after saying fcobly : " I
have dono what I said I would do."
Ho was taken to Gouverneur Slip Hospital.
In the store were nearly five hundred clooks,
watches and jewelry, and a patrolman was

management of tho machine in tlie Eighth
Assembly District nt tho last election 'n 111
mako its report at an adjourned mooting of
the County Committeo to bo hold in Grand
Opora-Honso Hall this ovening.
Tho Disciplinu Committue consist h of
Georgo W. Lyons, A. H. llogers, jr., J. L. N.
Hunt, James W. Hawes mid J. Thomas
Stearns.
Tho committeo will report unanimously in
favor of abolishing John J.-O'Hrien's district
machino ami of a ro-enrolmont of tho Itcpub
lican electors of tho district.
Tho report of tho committeo is vory long.
It criticises, m sovoro lnnguago, the manage,
ment of tho Ilopublican organization in
O'llrien's political borough, nnd charges his
followers with treachery and all other crimes
ou tho political calendar.
Tho report holds Harney Honrko diroctly
responsible for tho treachery in tho 'Eighth
Distriot. It declares that ho not only openiy
worked for Stecklcr and other Democratic
candidates, but that ho held twenty-soven of
tho district captains under his thumb nnd
that thoy faithfully executed his orders to
slaughter every Itopublicon caudldato in
Stecklor's interest.
Ilrodsky, the committeo says, was person
ally loyal to Ilotty, but a " higher powor ro.
Btrainod him." Itourke was his master and
acted in his placo as chairman of tho Execu
tive Committee.
" Four or five days oftor election Ilrodsky
deliberately admitted the treachory of
twenty-seven of his district captains," the
report wiys. " His chargo against them re
mains unanswered and neither ho nor his
organization has taken any step to investigate
tho offense or punish the offenders."
Thn roport closes with resolutions saying :
That the present Itcpnbllcan organization In the
Eighth Assembly District br resaon of IU disloyalty
and treachery at the late general election has
ceased to bo such all organization as Is contem
plated by onr constitution for the government of the
party In an Assembly dl.trlct, and the said organi
zation la hereby abolished, discontinued and super
seded. That a new enrolment of the loyal Ttepnbllcsn
voters In said Asaerably District be had aa speedily
aa may be and a new election held therein, as the
Executive Committee shall prescribe
The committee suggests that tho County
Committee should request tho Legislature to
enact n law providing for tho printing and
distribution by the Stnte of thu ballots to be
cast at all genoral and special olections in this
city.
If O'Brien and Hrodsky aro at to-night's

I have determined to make this annual message) U
the briefest on record. This conclusion ta reached, ,jM
not because there la not an abundance to present,
