Attorney Wales Files An Appeal.
Attorney A. D. Wales, who has brought an action
against John Mitchell, president of the United
Mine Workers of America, for $200,000, alleging
to have furnished a plan for settling the anthracite
coal strike, has served upon John J. Irving,
of Binghamton, N. Y., attorney for Mitchell, an
order notifying him that he has taken an appeal
from the order of Justice Lyon which requires
that a bill of particulars must be filed with Attorney
Irving. The bill of particulars which was
ordered by the court was to contain the plan
which Wales asserted that he furnished to Mr.
Mitchell and on account of which the strike was
settled. The bill was also to contain the names
of the persons present when Mitchell engaged
Wales to furnish the plan.
Revoked Engineer's License.
The license of H. W. Allis, who was engineer
on the Monongahela Consolidated Coal & Coke
Co.'s steamer, Defender, at the time she was
blown up in the Ohio river at Huntington several
weeks ago, by which nine lives were lost, has
been revoked by the government inspectors. Edwin
F. Maddy and Edward Morgan, boiler inspectors
of Gallipolis, O., who examined the wreck,
placed the blame upon Engineer Allis. It is announced
that the inspectors found the fuse plugs
had burned out of the boiler, which would indicate
that the boilers had run dry. The full text
of the inspectors' report has been forwarded to
Maj. S. R. Crumbaugh, supervising inspector of
the Seventh district. Engineer Allis may appeal
from the decision of the inspectors to Major Crumbaugh
and may appeal from his decision to the
inspector general, George H. Uhler of Washington,
D. C. Unless he appeals and the appeal is
sustained he cannot engage again as a river engineer
until the term of his license expires.

coal trade between Newport News, Norfolk, Baltimore,
Philadelphia and Boston. The vessels will
be replaced by large modern steamers.
