If the number of applicants is a criterion to judge by, the position of superintendent of the State Hospital at Hazleton which Dr. Keller will soon vacate, is a very desirable licrth, as 63 doctors have so far made applica tion. Among the names are those of Drs. Hamilton, q'f town, A'. P. Carr, of St. Clair, J. D. Kelley, of Mabanoy City, and Geo. W. Farquhar, of Pottavlle. We doubt very much If any one of the 63 is as well quali fied for the place as Dr. G. M.

John JefTerson, a married man residing on Monbeck's farm near Kreb's station, and a son oi William Jetrorson. of town, mot with a serious accident while driving over lhe mountain from town towards his home ve. Unlay afternoon. The victim's condition Is such that tho doctors in attendance cannot toll what tho result will be. Jeffersou was omployed as a laborer at the Kohinoor colliery and drovo to and from hie work every- day with horse and carriage. ue leu me colliery at 8:80 yesterday after noon and directed his course homeward. Several peoplo who came te town towards ovculng from hunting trips on Looust moun tain say thoy passed Jefferson and observed nothing unusual in his appenranco, or de meanor. The next seen of Jefferson is told hv a teamster In the employ of Daniel Troy, a Umbormau. Tho teamster says ho was pro ceeding slowly along the mountain road In tne direction of the vnllcy and had reached apoint a short distauco beyond what is known as "tho flats" whon ho hoard tho nhise of a team approaching from tho rear. no turned to seo who was driving behind am and observed a horse upnroaohins at a jigging gait and drawing a carriage with no upant. Mho teamster concluded that there was something wrong and. after stopp- llig his team, alighted and awaited tho ar rival of the horse he saw approaching. He stopped tho animal and, after securing It, ent back along tho road to look for the owner and driver. He did not no far befure finding the unconscious form of Jefferson at tho side of tho road. The victim was bleed ing profusely from cuts on tho hood and faoe Tho teamster did not know tho victom. but John Wilcom, of 113 West Lino street, town, wno was returning from a hunting expedi tion, made tho identification and accom panied the toamstor and unconscious victim to the lattcr's home. Tho Drs. Kcntschler. of Eiuctown. were called in attendance and worked for hours with the victim, but could not bring him back to consciousness. This morniug Dr. G. M. Hamilton, of town, was called in consulta tion. He returned at noon and stated that tho victim was in a precarious condition. The injuries consist of a badly sprained ankle and knoo, injuries to tho head that caused concussion of the brain, and a bad lacora tton of tho sclap. It was torn from the top of tho skull and lapped over. Tho victim was still uuconsclsus this afternoon. It will bo impossible to tell Just how the accident occurred until the 'victim is able to tell his story, although there is one supposition that scams quite reason able. When tho teamster stopped the horse the animal was not heated, or nervous, and tho reins were lying over the dashboard. Thero was nothing to Indlcato that the horse bad runaway. An examina tion of the carriage, however, showed that a bolt at the rear was broken. Marks along the road showed that Jefferson had been driggod twenty or thirty yards before his body fell to tbo roadside. It is also known that heart disease has caused the death of three mombers of tho family. Tho suppo sition is that Jefferson hoard the rattling of mo uroKcn bolt and leaned out over tuo side of tbo carriage to look at it; that in doing mis no recelrod n mild attack of tho disease and fell out of tho carriage. It is also supposed that as he fell one of his feet was caught be tween the spokes and the unconscious form was whirled around with, each turn of tho wheel until the foot finally became released. Jeuerson is 23 years of age and his family consists of himself, wife and ono child. A Splendid Production.

New York, Dec. 11. The great six day bicycle race at Madison Square Garden has narrowed Itself down to 15 riders. Miller still retains a lead of nearly a hundred miles over Rice, the Wilkesbarn- miner. At midnight he was something like 236 mtlea ahead of the world's record, and with 24 hours to spare he had covered a dletance up to within a few miles of the great rec ord established by Hale last year of l.voo miles. The great surprise of the night was tne retirement of Rlvlerre, the French man. He is believed to be actually out or his mind, Is in a pitiable physi cal condition, and is now under the care of physlolans. Like most of the others in the raoe, Rlvlerre has given evi dence during the contest of having partly lost his mind. The awful strain after the first day of riding had in a measure mentally unbalanced him, and yesterday afternoon he leaped from his wheel and made an assault on an imaginary foe in one of the boxes. swearing and Jabbering in his native tongue. His trainers ruBhed to him and put him on his wheel, but after making a few more laps he repeated the performance with even more insane rage than he had at first demonstrated. The result was that Rlvlerre had again to be taken from the track to return no more. Another man who h quit the lists Is Moore. Moore had a terrible fall during the afternoon while going at a high rate of speed, and crashing into the rail he out himself badly and was carried oft the track unconscious. The shock was too great for his debilitated condition, and Moore will be seen no more in the present race. But Miller, that wonderful specimen of physical development, still plods along. He has ground out more miles In a given time on a wheel than any man has before. He has subsisted. under the moat telling strain, with less sleep than was thought possible for any man, and with all an examina tion of him last night by the police sur geons disclosed the fact that his con dition was normal, and that with the exception of muscular soreness and a slight deadness of the limbs he was In excellent condition, and would be able to continue to the end without much danger of collapse. Rice, who Is second man in the con test, though nearly a hundred miles behind the leader. Is standing by his colors with dogged determination. It was said during the day that he had asked to be taken off, but the manner In which he rode through the night shows that though he might have re quested this it is not the spirit of his wishes. He 1b in to stay to the end, and his trainers think that he will be much nearer the Chicago man at the end of the next 12 hours than he Is at present. At all events he got rid of a dangerous rival when Rlvlerre left the track. For hours It had been nip and tuck with these two, at one time the one leading and at another time the other. Rice's physical condition Is also announced to be good. . Close up to Rice and third man, now that the Frenchman is gone, is Schln neer, a fellow townsman of Miller. Though he has had several nasty tumbles during the race, Schtnneer has never for a moment lost any of his pluck or determination. He has a lead of 90 miles on Hale, the former cham pion, and barring accidents will un doubtedly finish third. Hale, with plenty of sleep, compara tively speaking, has tho best appear ance of any man on the circle, He has really taken things leisurely, but nevertheless, at the present writing, Is nearly 40 miles ahead of his old record Of lu year. This Is about what his schedule called for, but when the schedule was made up no account was taken of suoh marvelous speed as has been maintained throughout the race, after Waller haA set the pace. Those who expected Hale to move up In the last day or tw j are apt to ha disap pointed, for he Is two full'' centuries behind the plucky leader. Of the others Waller has proved himself the strongest hearted. He did a 'it of sprinting last night, and he has a strong following among the specta tors. Knterinan, the youthful Brooklyn rider, has returned, and is making his miles with dock like regularity. The police authorities last night In sisted unp.n, examination being made 4f the men by the police surgeons. The result was a report by the surgeons which, so far as statistics go, showed a very satisfactory condition of af fairs, except In the case of Rlvtarra. Officially this report "goes,'' as It were, but It gives nut the faintest Idea of what (he real condition and appearance 9 the majority of the riders are. They are all strong enough to go on with their pedaling until midnight tonight, and it is not llkelv that there will b any further withdrawals, unless tor causa 01 accident or unless another of the ambitious ridors becomes baaana.
