Jin. BOWGR'S LCCTURE.
The lectin e delivered last evening
by A. Vincent Bower at the Scianton
Street Baptist chuich was a rich treat.
Mr. Bowel's subject was "Michael An
gelo," and he was aided in Ills descrip
tion by the use of a eiy line steieoptl
con operated in the iear part of the
chuith by an assistant to Mr. Bowei.
The lecture deseies more than passing
mention. Mr. Bower led his lieatuis
through a maze of lnstiuction, flist
showing the master pieces of other
world-famed artists and then contrast
ing their ci cations with those of An
gelic The lenowned Italian's greatest
piece of sculpturing was of Moses, now
in St. Petei's chuich at Home. In
lauding this paitlcular cieatlon Mi.
Bower aniljzed the const uctlon. It
was the woik of the soul. Angelo was
inspired and lie seems to hao Impait
od the inspluitlon to the marble. One
day, after the statue was llnished the
great sculptor drew- back apace and
looked intently at the still figuie. Then
ciazed by the stillne's, he lushed up to
the gieat llgure and stiuck ileicely at
it with his ehisd "why don't you
speak?" lie ciied. It was this powei,
the divine ability to Imbue the cold
maible with passionate life that char
acteilzes the woik of Michael Angelo
A large audience beaid the lectuie.

and vnter committee In referring to
City Engineer Phillips a list of thirty
one pioposed locations for new elec
tilc lights and lequestlng fiom him In
formation as to whether the stieets
mentioned had been accepted by the

needed leform.
Tho most pa!n3takinsr of eouncllmen

been necessaiy to cut a soit of ioad

foist tho "lmpiovement" off upon the
city as a stieet, the city then becoming
sponsor for It and lesponslble for its
Improvement.
Many of the proposed elect! lo lights
are for stieets in annexed dlbtricts
It Is a question whether the placing of
lights upon them would not imply tho
acceptance of the streets. The system
has been so lax and undefined that
City Engineer Phillips Is in doubt about

BUCK A10UNTAIN MINE.
Completion of n Tunnel Will Bring
thu Coul Into Mnrliut.
Everything Is In leadlness to tnp
the watei In the old Buck mountain
mine near Hazleton through the tunnel
driven by C. F. King & Co , contractor,
for Coxo Bros. & Co, Everything
points to tho successful completion of
this very diillcult englneeiing feat. It
means the practical lecovery of coal
mines) that were abandoned many yeais
ago by the old Buck Mountain Coal
company, and Is another evidence of
tho supeilor sagacity as a mining ex
peit of the late Eekley B. Coxe, A
number of bore holes have been diiven,
and within a few days high explosives
will be brought Into use to tenr out
the face of tho tunnel. Tho tunnel Is
a hnlf mile In length, and cnteis tho
mountain In the Laurytovvn alley. 11io
water from the mines; will empty Into
the Lehigh liver.
Fifteen jcats ago the mine was given
up as worthless nnd allowed to 1111 with
wnter. It was leased some yents ago
by Cox-e Brothels, and, upon the advice
of Eekley B. Coxe, tost holes were driv
en, which showed that the vein had
"overlapped" Itself, and thnt the de
posit was still lleh nnd lnige. It 1ms
been shovi, by snipping audi bore
holes, that not moio than 30 per cent,
of the coal has been lemoved, and the
lomalnlng veins measure CO to SO feet
In thickness.
A pioposltlon to strip No. 1 vein Is
now being considered, which would In
volve muny yeais of labor. It Is esti
mated Hint there aie 2,210,000 tons of
coal available by tho leniovnl of 0,000,
000 cubic juids of caith and lefuso.
As soon as the water Is lemoved fiom
these wot kings opeiatlons to mine coal
will be commenced by Coxe Biotheis
& Co. The coal will be biought fiom
the mines through the tunnel and then
hoisted up the mountain on a plane
1,500 feet long and hauled to tho Eekley
bi eaker.

at the Ransom homo for cailng for the

these unfoitunato people.
"The Wllkes-Baire poor district Is

ate to hold a conference shortly to dis
