"About two years ago, after suffering

remedies, including mineral waters,

Ayer's Sarsaparllla. I then decided to
make a trial of thls'medlcine, and took
it regularly for bight months, and am

complete cure. I have since had no re

SnAMOKiN, Ta., March 1. A most remark
able and distressing scene occurred here on
Thursday. The flfty-llrst annual session ot
the Pennsylvania conference of the Evan
gelical church was convened amid confusion
and disorder that, as one of the ministers
stated, bordered on anarchy. Several min
isters refused to recognize tne right of Ulsn-
op Ksher to preside on account of certain
charges made against him. On being re
quested to vacate the chair, the bishop flatly
refused, and also declined to entertain a
motion ordering hfm to step down and out.
It was impossible to transact any business,
and the seeslon was closed amid much dis-
prder.
Proposed Vennsylvanla Improvements.
- Philadelphia, March 1. Among the
many improvements the Pennsylvania Rail
road company contemplate on their New
York line is the elevatlonpt their tracks in
Jersey City, where a han ome station Is to
be constructed and the passengers landed on
the second floor. Without descending to the
ground level they will proceed directly to
the ferries. The latter will be reconstructed
or replaced with new boats, which will be
double decked. For some time past the
eoippjeflon of thropgh four line road from
Philadelphia to jersey City has been pru?
ceedlng, and there is now only a short space
In the neighborhood of Elizabeth where
there are fewer tracks than the four. It I
said that when the work Is finished the time
between the termini will not be more than
ninety minutes, while the ferry trips will be
accelerated by the construction of new
boats. The work will be completed in two
years.

The Horrible Fete or the F.lglit Men
Imprl.nned In tho lltirnlng Mine at
Wilkrnlinrre Hardly a Foaslhlllty 1 hat
They Have Not Alrrady Perished.
WiLKEDAnnE, Pa., March 6. Thoro it
now but 0110 hoiw that the eight men im
prisoned by flro In the Koulh Wllkesbarre
collieries nre alive. That bopo is a slight
one, but it Is clung to by the frleuds of the
missing men with desperate tenacity. This
hope is that they may have found their
way through old workings uuused for yenrs
into the workingsof the seam of coal known
as the Hlllmau vein.
Are They In the Hlllninn VelnT
It is remembered that Frauk Cull, one of
the Imprisoned men, helped to drive the
tunnel and work these openings, and cer
tainly knows of their existence. If this
supposition Is correct the unfortunate men
nre now locked In the workings of the Hill-
man vein, and are unreachable until tho
fire Is extinguished nnd the rock tunnel is
once more passable, and this will be the
work of several days.
Whother they can live so long is a doubt
ful question. That they can still bo In the
lowor workings, where they wero at the
time the flro began, and be alive is now gen
ally accepted as Impossible. The rescuing
party that went down the Stniiton mine at
o'clock seems to settle that question.
A Dangerous Undertaking:.
The party was composed of experienced
and resolute men.' It was n dnugerous nnd
doubtful undertaking. The distnnco from
the foot of the Stanton mlno to the point
where the men were at work Is 3,000 feet.
Up this incline the band of rescuers made
their way, not knowing at what moment a
supplementary explosion might occur. Htlf
sulfocated by smoke and noxious gases, they
iougUE their woy, and finally reached tho
very spot where tho men had been at work
when the Ore began.
Only Their Tool, were Found.
Up to this time the leaders of the search-
ng party bad some hone that when the
chamber was reached the men would lw
found alive. Only the tools of the mi-sing
men wero found, showlug plainly thut in
stead of rushing toward Stanton shaft they
nad undoubtedly gone in the direction of
.the tunnel, with tho probability of heinc
overcome by tho heat, smoke and gas which
ay in that direction. Their presence of
mind must havo beon lost iu tho first m
ment of danger, for they bad about a thou
sand feet to go toward the Stauton to roach
placo of riosltlve safety, their flight belne
made easy by tho forco of the air currents
behind them, which were being driven furi
ously out by tbo forco of the explosion at
rue tunnel.
Slopped by the Terrible Heat.
The rescuers pushed on a thousand feet
further, until they were stopped by tho tor
rlble heat, which made a barrier they could
not pass. To save the mine from utter de
struction the fire nmt be put out. It cm
only be put out by flooding the lower work-
lugs, and so long as there was a bopo that
the men might still be in there allvo the
company has het!tuted to do this.
Flooding the Bllue.
But now. If they have not made their wav
up to the Illlltnan vein workings, they nre
dead, and tho officials decided to go to work
at once and flood tho mine. No tlmo was
lost. The main of the Crystal Bprlug Water
company was tapped aud a big stream
poured down the shaft. By 9 p. m. live
streams were pouring a cascade down the
shaft. Forty-eight hours, it Is believed,
will sufllco to put out tho Ore, or at lenst so
far to check it as to render an exploration
of the workings of the Hillmau vein pos
sible. The Hoy Janie.ou'n lleriilam.
The boy Jameson displayed remarkable
heroism. When the explosion occurred he
called for help aud several men came. He
told them to tako his mules back and notify
the boss. "I am going in to notify the
boys," he said. "They've got to got out
mighty quick." Without a word ho ran
through the fast gathering smoke dowu the
dark tunnel. He never camo back, but
whatever is the fate ot the men ha tried to
save he will Bhare it. Five of the men nre
married, and unless they are recovered alive,
they will leave Ave widows and twouty-ftur
children.
Alt Hope Abandoned.
A later dispatch says: All hope of savlnc
the entombed miners has been abandoned.
It is feared that they became confused und
ran directly Into the burning gas. Search
for tho bodies will ba continued several
days. Tho damage to tho property will bo
very great. The fire had extended 700 leet
from its point ot orizln at last reports.
Peudlutun M ill Fight
Washington, March 3. In pursuance of
the statement made by Mr. Carlisle recently
that the unseating of Mr. i'endleton, of est
Virginia, will come up in the courts, Mr.
I'endleton sayB;
"Ilia action In turning me out wascleorly
unconstitutional. A memlier is unseated by
the house, and the quorum uonsIsU of 106
memlcrt., not 1Ij2. There nre two ways nud
two pieces iu which tbo question of const!
tutlouallty cm be brought up. Suit can
either hi brought in the supreme court or
the court uf cl'iims. Tho proceedings can
bo quo warranto in nature, aud based on
call to the speaker to show cause why he
provciils me from exercising the privileges
of a member, A suit for salary can also be
entered, in either event vue question lor
settlement will be whether the speaker ha
a right to declare a member unseated with'
out u quorum voting."
The Democrats say they will not bring
suit until Mr, Atkinson votes on some bill
which becomes a law, and then they will
maLo the point that it Is unconstitutional.
The Republican manager are perfectly
satisfied to muke a test case of the matter.
They claim they could have a quorum rot
ing when Mr. Pendleton was unseated, but
in order todecide tho question definitely they
allowed Mr. Atkluson to take his seat on 10b
votes.
