A special train of three cars left the park at 11 o'clock and tbe party returned to this city in excellent time.

proposed campaign aprainst the mine owners of Westmoreland county and the operators of central Pennsylvania, which has been delayed, is now an assured fact. The strike leaders decided on it definitely at a camp conference yesterday, and a. big move will probably be made next The whole affair will be considerably on the order of the famous Coxey "commonwealth" tour. As already constituted, the plans propose a direct march through the whale territory where mines are being operated until Clearfield is reached. Camps will be left at each of the DeArmitt mines at Canonsburg, at Bunola and any other place that may seem necessary to keep the mines closed which appears before the crusaders leave.

The leaders estimate that, with what will remain behind 'in the camps, at least 8.000 men will be kept constantly in the movement. A military code for the government of the army will be formulated before the movement is started. President Dolan says that with any kind of a system he will be able to keep everything quiet and the men peaceable. Efforts are being: made to introduce beei anJ whisky at Camp Determination by outsiders. This has been going on for two or three flays now.

nnd some of the strikers been taken down tn East Pittsburg anrl filled up on all the beer they could drink. The danger ol this to the miners' cause is fully realized by the labor leaders and a sharp lookout is being kept to find out who IB responsible for the efforts to get the strikers intoxicated. A barrel of whisky was shipped to the camp from Braddock. It had been paid for at the other end and all freight charges had also been settled. When the whisky was delivered Captain McKay ordered it taken back to Braddock as quickly as possible.

It was shipped back. The strikers do not know who sent it. Definite orders have been issued from Harrisburg to local officials of the National Guard of Pennsylvania to hold themselves in readiness for immediate service. This order, which arrived several days ago, is being complied with to the letter, and the day and night address of each officer, together with the number of the nearest telephone, has been forwarded to headquarters. However, these officers have expressed it as their opinion that the miners have behaved themselves most orderly and that the guard is not at all necessary as yet.

True, the mayor hall "exercise a constant supervision nd control over their conduct, and hear nd determine all complaints against hem in tbe discharge ot their clutiee, ut the complaints upon which I acted introducing my resolution are not nerely "complaints against them (the olicemen) in the discharge of their utiea." They go farther than that. Section 5 of Article VII of the Act of lay providing for the incorpor- tion and government of cities of the bird class, referrinj to the policemen of uch cities, provides that "They sha ave authority to serve and execute all riminal process, or process for the vio- ation of the city ordinances which may issued by the mayor or any alderman nd shall charge tbe same fees and costs a pertain by law to the constables of itv for similar services, but THE SAID SKSASD COSTS SHAL'-j BE KECEIVKD AND OLLECTE1) BY THE MAYOK AND BY HIM AID INTO THE CITY TREASURY Even the most casual reader of the Act ill notice that tbe Act doesn't leave it the discretion of the policemen wheth- or not they will cha'ge 'the same fees nd costs as pertain by law to the con- tables of city for similar services; the doesn't say they MAY do says hey SHALL do so.

They have no right render services of the kind referred to, nd permit some other person to receive he fees; they cannot make a gift of such ees and costs to ANYBODY, for no man an lawTnlly give away that which never awlully belonged to him, and which he haa no right to keep for himself. When- ver, therefore, a policeman shall 'serve nd execute' any 'criminal process, or process for the violation of the city or- inauces which may be issued by the mayor or any it is his duty, he says the Act, charge the same eea as constables receive for similar ser- ices, and the Act, again imperative, ays that these costs and fees 'shall be eceived and collected by the mayor and jy him paid into tbe city treasury Sow, nobodv can or will deny that he policemen of the city frequently eiider services of tbe chatacter referred in the section just quoted. That being either the policemen who render the ervices receive the feej and appropriate hem to their own use, or somebody else eceives and keeps them, or the persons iable for the payment of such fees and costs are not compelled to pay them at all, or the officers divide them with somebody else. It makes no difference me which method ia pursued in any event the city is defrauded rf its due. And this loss, I am told, is not inconsiderable.

Death followed shortly after in the presence of John Hartnett, of Brandywwe street, another young boy. It appears the two young boys boardea freight train No. 52, which pawed through here ahortly. before noon on Fn- dav with the intention of stealing; a to'Harrisbnrg and asrain retarn on tne next freight train. They varda in Harrisbnrg at about 1:30 tf CIOCC.

Shortly thereafter they started on their return home, again taking a freight tram. When passing Rutherford station, east ol Harrisburg, Flottenberger tried to jump off the train for the purpose of showing hia companion, Hartnett, how to do it Unfortunately the trick waa done too often, and while Haitnett waa looking in an opposite direction, ho heard a pitiful cry and turning around saw young Piot- tenberger had lost his hold of the hand irons. The boy was seen falling by several of tbe trainmen and the train wat immediately stopped when the yponf boy's body waa found lying on the with both legs crushed, death following shortly after.

The crews and officials around the station have contrnujuy warned tbe young lads not to. ttwr lives. However, it aeems to hadna effect It ii remarkable, indeed, that more accidents of thia kind do not occmr along the railroad.

"From what I can readily see that this ii not merely an investigation of the police department, rat an inquiry as to what fees and emol umentc, if any, have been received and collected by members of the city police force and appropriated to their own use, and which, of course, should bave been collected by the mayor, hut were not so collected, and in consequence of such failure to collect, never found their way into tbe proper receptacle the city iressury. this were an inquiry into the conduct and manaRement of the police force only, or into the control and management of any other department of the city government, I admit that the mayor would be the proper person to conduct the investigation; but surely when his own performance or neglect of that which is his plain duty under the Act of Assembly comes in question, when hia own conduct and management of bis office of mayor is to be, if I may use the expression, investigated and inquired such an inquiry, BO far as the lets ol policemen are concerned, is provided for by necessary implication from the terms of the resolution for the appointment of the such case, the mayor, I claim, is debarred from conducting the investigation by the eame rule of public policy which forbids a man to eit upon tbe bench as a judge at the trial of his Lis own cause, or to sit in a jury box to assist in-returnicg a verdict npon his own suit. The same person cannot be at Once investigator and investigated, and I think when the mayor calmly reflects npon tbe situation, and reads tbe section of the act which I have quoted, but which be inad- vertantly omitted from bis statement oi the law when he gave it ont for pnolica- tinn, he will see that I am right, retract bis orders to his policemen cot to attend or obey tbe committee's subpuina, and permit he investigation to If nothing of the kind alleged has been done, he and his policemen have nothing to fear from the inquiry, and it ia in fairness to them, as well as to my constituents and the city, that I want this investigation to go on.

"To policemen I would say, the mayor's orders not to obey the call of the committee are inoperative. The mayor cannot enforce any such orders, even oy suspension or dismissal from office, by bis own'unaided act. He ran, to quote sect ion 4 of article VII of this sameac of 1889, "SuspenAor dismiss the said policemen," hia'own act only "but by hia action, by and with the ad vice and consent of the Select I say this only as a statement of the law of tbe state, not to provoke a controversy with the mayor. "There is no occasion for any conflic between councils and tbe mayor. I there is anything wrocg, the guilty should be punished and the miscbie remedied; if there has been no violatioi of tbe law, everybody will be vindicated by the comnrtte's report in due time Further than this, I do not desire to raj anything except that when the mayo attributes this attempt to investigate political spite he is mistaken.
