8 ‘THE COAL REGIONS. Poverty and Distress Near the Mines. Mayor Loftus’ Letter to the Herald. A SAD REVIEW. A Letter from President O’Halloran. INTERVIEW WITH BISHOP O'HARA. SCRANTON, Pa, Nov. 25, 1874. Your correspondent has the pleasure of giving below two personal letters addressed to the | HERALD, which were placed in his hands to-day— | one from the Mayor of Scranton and the other from Mr. James ©’ Halloran, the President of the Miners’ National Association of Luzerne county, | Pennsyivama. ‘The Mayor, in his communi- cation, reviews the situation exactly as | it 1%, and corroborates his statements | by the reports of his police, while Mr. @Ralloran reflects the opinion of the miners and | snows that their grievances date back to 1865. | Both letters will be tound to be fair, manly and | dignified. Too much cannot te said in behalf of the poor men, women and children of this district, | many of whom are utterly destitute already, and allof whom must become so before spring. Des- tutote of means as well as credit, with no work and with large families to support, these men | must have assistance or they will starve. BISHOP O’HARA’S VIEW. During the course of a conversation held with Bishop O'Hara to-day, he said :— “When I came here first, six years ago, you could see the miners turning out from their little hamiets everywhere, come mto town merry and light hearted, anareturn home again witn tneir geese and turkeys and the like: byt I fail to see ‘them doing so now. Un tbe contrary, great Poverty exists in this neizhborhood, I know of two instauces where two men with families earn | only $6 a week, and hence are compelled to use extraordinary economy to live. Insh love good, healthy, wholesome food, bat these ‘two parties are actually forced to turn away from food of this Kind and purchase that which is poor and unpalatable; that fs, instead of fresh bread they are obliged to buy ‘stale. The situation isextremely sad, and the price of everything very high. Rents in Scranton You know the | NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 187% were compelied to on y at mitale, accept or remain e, said scale of « lower than After thig monopoly Rad been formed, nds 01 in e regular schedule of prices made out, individual operators wo were willing to the miner his former hire were prevented from doing so on account of the exorvitant tolls charged by the carrying, or railway, companies which as just stated were in the ring. For instance the Phila aelplita and Re: Railroad Company demanded | $6 for carrying @ ton of coal from Pottsville to Philadelphia, @ distance of only 9 miles. After five months of a most bitter struggle, in which the miners, over thirty thousand in number, never committed an outrage nor any act of personal vio~ lence, resumed work because pover y compelied them to do 30, and accepted the monopoly’s un- just and unreasonable terms, since 1871 the men | ve tried hard to earn their daily bread, subjected to the hardest and most grinding terms. The panic came. In a very short space of time its effects were felt in the coal mines. After a brief interval many men were dally discharged, Many of the mines ceased working and all of them | reduced their ume. Hundreds were thrown out of employment, whose associations prevented | them from removing eisewhere. The panic brought | about # marked reduction in wages; but at | the same time the panic raised the price | of coal; the panic was therefore considered by the operators as an excuse to reduce the wages of their men, and at the same time an excuse to in- | crease tne price of coal per ton. uring all the | excitement of the panic the companies’ stores, at | which all miners were indirectly compeiled to | deal, held their goods at their uniorm price, | despite the fact that the panic nad greatly re duced the wages of the men. The loreman of | every mine wag compelled to report each might the amount of every man’s earnings during the day. ‘Therefore, from what I have stated above, it Will be seen that the present disturbances in the coal regions are not the developments of any re- cent circumstances, but the natural and inevitable issue Of grievances that have been accumulating | Jor maby years. At the present time in tue Wyoming and Lackawanna Valleys thousands of men are idie; they are not naturally in- dolent; on the contrary, they are willing» to work; they are willing to labor for @ Jair remuneration; it is not their desire | to increase their wages by raising the price of coal, They simply ask the opportunity of sup- porting themselves and tueir families. At present hundreds are out of work and their families are in a critical condition; if they are not destitute now, they soon will be. Beyond all question this | season Will be the most deplorable the coal re- | | gions have ever seen. If thic winter should be as | dull as the last, the working people ‘@ chair which had ag Carr then read tremor. He took his seat w) Sherif Carr asked he had anything more to say. “f bave nothing to say, only to ask permission not Kenslcr repliea to die with my shoes op.” That permission was granted him. Father McGoldrick then advanced to the platform, and in @ voice quivering with emotion offered @ cation to the Deity, Kensler repeating the words after hs spiritual adviser, * died for me” and “Jesus, I love thee,” was pronounced with firm- ess by the jormer, the last words he was heard to utter, The priest closed with “God biess you,” and, making the sign ol the eros over Kensler’s head, he retired. Then the awmil, terrible mo- | ment arrived when this human being was to be huried mto the presence of ker, to enter those portals which never outward sawing. THE EXKCUTION, The Sheriff then stepped behind the condemned man, pinioned his arms behind him, and then con- cealed his face under the tolds of the plack cap. At this time only a slight tremor of the body was observed, and Sueritf Carr had to call upon one of his assistants to “steady” the prisoner. Father McGoldrick here again stepped forward, and, ad- dressing the prisoner, sald, “Have confidence in your God, and He wiil have mercy upon you.” immediately alter the trap was sprung by Sherif Carr, and the form of Kensler jell about five leet through a trap into the cellar below, and hung there. He fell at twenty-eight minutes past tweive. No severe struggle was manifest in his body, a tremor only beimg perceptible. ‘The last spark of lite fed from the body eight minutes after 1 jell, and when at flity minutes past twelve the attending physicians pronounced life extinct, the body was taken down and placed in a coffin; and, no friends appearing to claim the remains they were buried by the county authorittes in the alter- noon. ‘Thus has Youssaint Kensler, the hail breed, atoned for the crime committed in taking the ltle of a fellow man. Let all the semi-ctvilized inhabiteats of our border take due warning. THE COURTS. FIFTY-SEVENTH STREBT POLICE COURT. Alleged Embezzlement. Betore Judge Otterbourg. Luawig Laux, No. 307 East Forty-eighth street, complained that his clerk, Jacob Schmidt, con- verted to his own use & sum Of money collected by him for complainant. Schmidt was held ior trial. A Mother Abandons Her Uhild. of Scranton will find it almost impossible to live, without external aid and assistance. The winter is just opening. Thousands of men are out | of employment; they have no means to stay where | | they are; they have not enough money to remove | | themselves and their families elsewhere, and they | must live. ‘The citizens of Scranton do not appre- | clate the situation Of the miners nearest them. | They do not consider their puverty, want and distress. The abode of tne miner js seldom | visited by the operator; but I can state | truly, that uniess some extraordinary change takes place this winter—to the thousands Of labor- {| 1ng men Dow out of work—will be the most terrible | and deplorable this district has ever seen. I say | | this after travelling the valley trom one end to the | other, after visiting every colliery. After convers- | ing with all the men add learning their ‘senti- ments, I dare not predict the issue, but uniess something be done I cannot see how hundreds of | the unemployed can escape starvation.

All the immense coal works tnd iron mills were idie during the summer sea- son, thus throwing out of employment for a period of about six months fully three-quarters of the Men engaged therem. At present the man- agers of: these works are running them on only half and three-quarter time. Working- men and their families are now suffermg Jor want of food and raiment. During the month | of October an unusually large number of peopie ‘were provided for, and yet twice this great num- ber have been cared for during the present month | of November. I consider that it wouid be a | charity to aid a people wno now find it impossible | to maintain themselves and families, and tne | products of whose toil have been so beveticial to | Vhe country at large. When itis taken into con- | sideration that wages are only bali what they | were last year, eve those who are at work find | it almost’ impossivle to feed their wives and | children, while the families of those who are idle | must, of course, become utterly destitute.

We can only accommodate a certain number, and when our house is juli, unless they are otherwise pro- ‘vided jor, many must be turned away. i have no other motive in addressing you these Mines than to acquaint you with the actual situa- tion of thousands of our inhabitants.

It is true that I have | condemued all secret organizations because | | | consider them one of the great curses of our coun- | try, and 1 ao not know that the morality of any one of them is better than the other. Free Masons, Molly Maguires, Odd Fellows ana kindred societies are allcuips of the same block.

If your correspondent had | visited me or any other respectable citizen of the | town or county the New York HERALD would not have been so deceived.
