!The Press Muzzled!
On Motion of T. A. Snyder
Our "Scribe" is Debarred
rnoM the
Council Chamber!
This Must Q He Hiioken.
What deep nnd mighty work Is going
on now? Hnvo the learned members of
the Council struck "on to" some new
surprise for tho people, which they de
sire to dcvelopo In tho secrecy of their
own walls? Or has "one" of the
learned got his "dander up" because
we, working for tho public good, pub
lished a remark made by liliu In their
last meeting, and which was not re
ceived very heartily outside the council
shadow. And, therefore, his
Angry passions, they hnye risen,
They have n right, for they arc hlslu'i
And dccldes,nolongerwlll his words be heard
Uy the AnvocATK's rcportorlnl "bird."
Bo this as It may, on last Monday
evening after the members of tho coun
cil had assembled, the president of the
meeting, leaning across the table, whis
pered a few hurried words to tho secre
tary, and then with a silent motion of
his hand, beckoned the others to follow;
moving into a sldo room a hurried con
sulfation was had. "Should the Advo
cate representative be requested to
leave?" was the subject of their delib
eration. After tun minutes of "supreme
suspense" the president entered; at last
we were to know our fate. Silently
beckoning us to follow him out of the
room he delivered tho fatal mandate:
"Tho council have decided not to have
a reporter." Hence, the abovo query,
"What deep and mighty work-is going
on now?" Probably they intend tohavu
the streets properly graded, or lay a
pavement In front of some property, or,
we give It the benefit of a doubt, per
haps T. A. Snyder, the borough attor
ney, Is mad; but then, of course, he
could not Influence (?) the other gentle

ing's In tho production of "The Social

of Addle Scha'pe. The huge hall was

desired to encourage tho noble work of
charity. The cakt of characters were
immense. George Xusbatim, as Chas.
Thornley. tho fast young man, was
good; Chas. Leimberger, as Dr. Slater,
a representative of the medical profes
sion, acted well; J. Morris Itoberts, as
Harold Hartley, a great temperance ad
vocate, expounded the. "cause" with
great success; George Sawyer, ns John

as Mrs. Farley, was a success. Tho
various characters were heartily aj
plauded all through the eyenlng, which
was an evidence that It's rendition was
satisfactory to the audience.
A Big Breaker Burned.
A Mt. Carmel despatch of the Stli
Inst., says: Alaska Breaker, operated
by the Philadelphia and Heading Coal
and Iron Company, together with tho
saw-mill, was totally destroyed by fire
this evening. Tho theory Is advanced
that a roller shaft became hot and set
fire to the woodwork, while in other
quarters It is believed that one of the
employes' lamps was allowed to hang
near timber saturated with oil. The
breaker was valued at oue hundred

A Frightful Explosion In the Mineral
f prlng Colliorrat Wllkesbarre.
Tho Mineral tprlng Colliery of the
Lehigh Valley Coal Company.at Wllkes
barre, was tho scene of a disastrous
explosion of mine gas Monday morning, '.
by which great dauiago was dono to the
mine nnd six men terribly Injured. Ono
died shortly after the accldcntand others'
'aru fatally Injured.. Tho names of the vic
tims are: Patrick Joyce, aged 20, dead;
Ilarnpy Farrell, Patrick Lnwlcr. James
Hammond, John lieese and Michael
Corbey arc. terribly burned and the
former has nlso Roveral ribs broken.
Their Injuries arc fatal. Tho others
are all badly but ned and much crushed
aud bruised. Owing to tho uncertainty
always attending hums of (his nature It
cannot be said whether they will recover
or'not.
i tie explosion occurred In a gangway
In process of construction in the lower
vein. The men injured were nil em
ployed under Farrell, who was the con
tractor In driving theg.mgway.nnd went
to their work as usual about 7 o'clock.
They were told at the foot of tho shaft
that the fire bos, Thomas Thomas, had
examined the gangway and found all
safe. They therefore entered with naked
lights, but in a few moments a terri
ble explosion echoed through the mine,
A volume of smoke and flame rushed
from the gangway with .tremendous
forbe, carrying with It timbers nnd
wreck.
The explosion was heard all through
the mine and terrified miners, who were
just coming In to their work, fled for
their lives. The alarm was spread on
the surface nnd In a few minutes the
colliery wns surrounded by an excited
crowd, mostly the friends and families
of the men employed therein, who were
in a terrible state of anxiety to find
out the extent of the accident.
The mine foreman James Eyans.linv-
lng seen that all tho men were out In
safety, except those In tho gangway, got
together a party of rescuers and entered
the gangway. The light of their safety
lamps revealed a terrible scene of de
struction. Tho force of the explosion
had torn down all tho props, timbering
and brattice work. Mine cars were
overturned and broken and the rails
torn up. In places masses of coal and
rock had been brought down from the
surface and scattered about. Among
tho ruins wero found the bodies of the
unfortnnale, all terribly burned nnd
badly cut and bruised by the violence
with which they had been hurled about
by the explosion.
Tho Borough of Lehlghton.
The Improvements which have been
made around town so far this year have
been many, and property holders who
have made Improvements, as well as
parties who have elected new dwellings,
deserve to be complimented on the
prompt manner In which they are carry
ing on tho Summer's work. On every
street some notlcable Improve
ment can be seen which speaks as to
the thrift and cleanliness of our people.
We do not hesitate to say that a more
beautiful town cannot bo found any
where In tho Lehigh Valley, nnd why it
should .not In n short time become a
popular -summer resort Is hard to sav.
Tho growing popularity of the town is
evident, as every Summer brings a new
and larger Influx of people here all of
w;hom sound Its praise. Our hotel ac
commodations are equal, if not superior,
to that found In many of the larger
towns In tho valley; and this combined
with the beautiful scenery which sur
rounds the town makes It a desirable
location for people who, annually,spend
a few months In the country.
As to its desirability for the location
of manufacturing industries wo would
say that the Stale affords no better.
Being on the line of tho L. V., as well
as L. & S. It. It's., Its facilities in this
direction cannot be much Improved.
A good Board of Trade organized here
who would make It a business to in
crease the manufacturing Industries,
would, in a few years,- greatly enhance
the value of real estate, &c. This can
easily be done; if a few of our monled
men would invest a little of their super
flous cash in this dirrctlon. AVo hopo
the day Is not far distant when Lehlgh
ton will be one of tho busiest manufac
turing towns in tho valley. Wo would
invite parties from n distance, who pro
pose Investing In manufacturing Indus
tries to tako a look at Lehlghton and Its
many excellent facilities, and we feel
sure they will not pass us by.
Ot School Board.
We have been furnished with the fol
lowing Interesting Items from the pro
ceedings of tho last meeting of our
School Board:
The following ofllccrs were elected for
the ensuing year: Picsldcnt Dr. C. T.
Horn; Secretary F. P. Lentz Treas
urer Daniel WIcand.
On motion it was decided to make tho
next term of our schools nine months;
the tdrm to commence on August loth.
This is a step forward In tho right direc
tion, and is evidence that the gentlemen
composing the board are of the rlyht
metul.
The next act of the board Is equally
commendable, I. e., the re-election of
Prof. J. Morris Hoberts, who during the
latter part of the last term proved him
self so ablo and competent for the duties
of principal of our school. Ills salary
ts fixed at $70 per month. For the
other grades the following compensation
was agreed upon: Grammar $40; In
termcdlate, $38; Secondary, $30; 1st
Primary, $::0;2nd,3rd aud 4th Primary,
each $25 per month.

John 7, 37-02. Golden Text, Matt. 10,
10. Time, Oct. 17. A. D. 20. Place,
.TeriiFaicm, in tlio Temple Court.
It was tlio feast of the Tubcrnncles.
Tho harvest wosgatticied nnd the people
were assembled in Jerusalem to render
tliunkij to Clod, ns well us to commcmor
ntc tlio life of Israel in the wildcrncs
nnd their settlement in permanent plates
of abode. At lliN feast every one lived
in liootlis, rough huts of living bought
ami twigs nf trees. TIicmc were erected
in open squares nnd court and upon the
house tops. The feast lasted seveu dnyr,
nm every day the priests, with n large
clinir nnd followed by vnst crowds of
people, went out to the spring uf Silonm,
where they drew water In it golden vessel,
n in Id sj ihemnM cxtnordiiinry rejoicings.
Magnificent chants from thu writings of
Isaiah tom- on the morning- nir ns the
singers nnd peoplejoineil in tlicbeniitilul
invitation, "Ho, everyone that tliiintcth,
come ye to tho watcrer" nnd "with joy
shall ye draw water from the wells of
salvation.' . Itetilrning to the temple the
water wns poured uinm the ultnrund the
impressive cervices of the day were
celebrated. Jesus arrived in Jerusalem
during this feast, nnd ut once took up a
posilinn in thetempleand began to teach,
ills words aroused n bitter feeling of
nntag..ti!Mii in the minds and hearts- of
the llahbisnnd leaders, ns well us many
of the common people; anil yet imln lew
believed on 1 1 i tn. A warrant was issued
for Ilia arrest and given to the temple
police; but, although they kept Him un
der constant surveiluiiee, they did attempt
to nrrcU Him. The lust day of the feast
waH the culmination of its rejoicing nnil
splendor. The people .went forth witli n
branch ofcitron iu one hand and a liilab
(a branch of palm woven round with
willow and myrtle) in tlio other. An
Immense procession passed round the
walls seven times nmidst the most
tremendous enthusiasm, nnd iuspirid witli
glorious music, in commemoration of the
full of Jericho. From the vast multitude
nrosc.cverandanon, the ringing Hosanna
nnd Hallelujah of praise, while every oue
was carried away with the intense
enthusiasm of tho hour. Another nnd
n similar procession went, ns usual, to tlio
pool of Seloam to draw the pitcher of
wnter for uscat the nltar. It was when
tins procession was returning that Jesus
seized the opportunity for making a grand
declaration of His divinity, and at the
same time giving n tmo spiritual signifi
nnce to the exercise in which they were
engaged. During a temporary lull in the
outbursts of song and shout the voice of
Jesus, swce.t, solt and clear, wns heard:
"If nny man thirst, let him enmc unto mo
and drink. He that belicvclh on me en
the scriptu.-o hath f-aid, out of li'u belly
shall (low rivers of living water." In
tlmt burning pnrched autumn weather,
the very word "water" would have a
magical interest for every hearer. Wc
can well imagine that the words of Jesus
commanded instant attention, nnd wc do
not wonder that they made a profound
impression. This was the last recorded
utterance of Christ at this feast, and it is
a great nnd fitting close to His remark
able teachings and His claims of divine
Sonship on this occasion. His divinity
vus unimpeachable, for, ns the temple
police said in justification of theirncglect
to arrest ilim, "Kevcr man spake' like
this man."
THOUGHTS.
1. Jesus Christ isthc Son of God.
2. AsSon of God nnd Son of Man, He
is the Savior of tlio world..
3. Believe on Him and thus secure tho
blessings He alone can give.
4. Tlio teachings and life of Christ are
n proof of His divinity. ''.Never man
spake like this man."
