Schwab passed a good night and ate a hearty breakfast. The reports of his illness are greatly exaggerated, ABOUT ACCIDENTS. The Great Ones Cause Comment, But the Little Ones Run Up the Fatalities. In the old days of railroad acci dents, before the introduction of air brakes and automatic couplers, the big collisions or derailment riveted public attention to the dangers men acing the trainmen, but it was the minor accidents, day in and day out, which ran the total fatalities up to such proportions as to compel reme dial laws and a strict enforcement of them. Similarly, such a catastro phe as that In the Johnstown mine causes universal horrror and sympa- thy, but the deaths resulting from such appalling occurrences are insig nificant in comparison with the ag gregate of those caused daily by small accidents. The Philadelphia Press gives some instructive statistics regarding the loss of life in coal mines. In the six years from 1884 to 1889 in the bi tuminous mines only 9.1 per cent of fatal accidents were due to fire damp explosions. In 1899 and 1900, less than 7 pe r cent were so caused. By far the greater percentage of mining accidents are caused by a fall of the mine roof. In the period of six years mentioned above, over 61 per cent were due to -this cause, and in 1889 and 1900 64 per cent were thus caus ed. Tho Press' figures also indicate that a large proportion of, the accl dents are caused by tho carelessness of the men themselves, and that the percentage is Increasing rather than decreasing. This is in sad contrast with the conditions in .England and Germany, where a strict enforcement of the precautionary laws, both as Pmm tn.nV.n DUIn. I tl"l BJlf fiETll flTI. H nrOVlrififl DV tllO OWI1- fo uii w .linn (, vjint-w ' " -u . - - W' ""waukee and as far distant as Tors and as to care exercised by the men, has made tne miners' occupa tion no more hazardous than that of the railroad man or sailor. The remedy ln thlB country would Beem to bo not more lawB, but great er obedience to the existing ones. Anthony Kalher, rescued from the Johnstown mine after 30 hours' lm- nrisonment. who has furnished the most intelligent account of tho acci dent yet given, has declared that the explosion there was caused by vio lation of the law ln that the men carried naked lamps Into the old workings whore support were being pulled out. Tho greatest trouble ap pears to Ho ln the fearlessness of tho minors and their IndJtposltlon to observe that eternal precaution which experience baa shown to bo necessary. Any remedial legislation must take that into account. National Championships Being tested at Saratoga. Saratoga, .N. Y., July 28.
