The arguments argu-ments which were very exhaustive t were heard by Judge Bartch who will hand down his ruling at the next sitting sit-ting of the court at Beaver The casualty upon which the acton is based was a peculiar one McCharles and his alternate one Jacka were en I gaged in repairing the shaft at a temporary tem-porary station betweenCnthe fifth and sixth levels in April 1892 when a signal sig-nal was seht upward to the engineer to hoist The engineer says It was a blasting signal the plaintiff thatit was a plain hoist At all events the engineer engi-neer was governed byhis reading of the signal and the bucket shot upward at the speed that a blasting signal regulates reg-ulates While McCharles was suspended suspend-ed between the 700 foot level and the I mouth of the shaft they were both jarred from the bucket the latter going go-ing to the bottom to furnish an occupant occu-pant for an untimely grave the latter shooting off at right angles and being wedged in a crevice of the lagging where he was imprisoned until rescued by the men from above His escape from instant death Was miraculous GRASS WIDOWS GALORE The divorce mill opened up under full steam again yesterday
