HIBERNIANS MEET
AND AMALGAMATE
Board ol Erin and Board of America No
Longer Gxist In This County.
REUNITED AFTER FOURTEEN YEARS
I'lrst Step in llishop Jlcl'nul's I'lnu
lor the ItrliigiiiK Togctliar of the
Two llrunohos of tho Ancient Order
ol lllheriiiaiif-IIistory of the Dis
ruption nnil Wluil l.od to the Ito
uniting. After fourteen ynts t dissension
thu Hibernians of the county were jes
terduy reunited tind thoie no lonuor
exists In this distilct any Hoard of Krln
or Hoard of Ameiicii. All or the tm ;
ty-tlnee divisions are now deslgnuted (
. mult- m tiiu Anpimit urner 01 inner-
nlans as they wet known before the
split, at the Cleveland convention in
ISM. "Wherever there Is a county In
the United States containing two of the
heretofore ilval boards thla same woik
of amalgamation Is under way. In
April the statH organizations will come
together nnd re-organlsto as one, and in
June n national convention will lie
held at Trenton, N. J., to wipe out the
lust vestige of the Ion? continued fra
ternal strife.
The cause of the disruption ut tho
Cleveland convention was rather triv
ial considering Its consequences. Mau
rice V. Wllherc, tho well known Phil
adelphia politician, who was (nation
al Ulrcttr of the order, introduced a
tesoltillon opening the doers ot tue
enrtiti t,, mon wlio hnd only one par
ent ot Irish 'birth or extinction. This
engendered such a fight that the op
ponents of the resolution left the hall
and organized themselves under the
title of the Ancient Order of Hiber
nians, Hoard of Erin. It grew with
lenmrkable, rapidity and before many
years was o.ulte as strong numerically
and covered about as mucn tcrUtorv
ns tho other branch which came to be
known as the Board of America, al
though the members) themselves al
ways held that the word "boaid" was
no part of the title of their organiza
tion: that it was simply the Ancient
Order of Hibernians, of America..
EFFORTS TO CONSOLIDATE.
Attempts were frequently made In
late years to bring the two organiza
tions tog-Jthe." again but th'ey proved
unsuccessful until last year when Rev.
K. S. Phillips, of Plaint, now of Ha
zleton, who had been elected national
delegate which corresponds to nation
al president of the Uoard of Eiln, set
about In a determined way with the
aid of leading officials ot both branches
of the ord:r to accomplish the re-uniting
of the divided forces.
Last August at Atlantic City a con
feience was held. P. J. O'Connor, na
tional president; Maurice F. Wllhere,
c.f Pennsylvania; John C. Weadock,
of Michigan; John P. Murphy, of Con
necticut; James O'Sulllvan, of Phila
delphia; Rev. William T. McLaughlin,
of New Jersey, all national othcers,
represented the Hoard of America.
Rev. E. S. Phillips, national delegate;
R. R. Hays, of Philadelphia; national
secretary, Hon. John P. Qulnnan, ot
Scranton, state delegate; Joseph Mc
Laughlin, of Philadelphia; Miles F.
McPartland, of Brooklyn, and James
IT. Murphy, of New Jersey, represent
ed the Hoard of Erin. After a lengthy
session It was decided to amalgamate
and It was agresd that the whole mat
ter of the plan of re-unlting should be
ref en ed to P.ishop McFaul. of Trenton,
nnd that his decision should he final
In everything. A commltte waited on
the bishop to see if he would assume
the task; he accepted and recently
gave out his plans for bringing about
the re-union. Th'ey weie wholly ac
ceptable to both sides and at once the
work of wiping out the dividing line
was begun.
Yesterday the plan received its fiist
local application. Five delegates from
each division of both branches through
out the county met in St. Thomas'
college hall. Theie were twenty-two
divisions of the Hoard of America and
eleven of the Hoaid of Erin In tills
county and all were represented, mak
ing an attendance of lCS delegates.
CHOSEN BY LOT.
TIip meeting organized by choosing
a temporary chairman by lot, accoid
Ing to the plan prescribed by Bishop
McFaul. The names of the respective
county chuli men, William Dawson, of
the Board of Ameilca, nnd Hon. John
P. Qulnnan, of the Board of Erin, were
placed In a hat. Mr. Quinnan's nuine
was first drawn and he became chair
man. Mr. Dawson, by the arrangement
of Bishop McFaul, became secretary,
Hon. J. C. Vaughan and C. C. Dono
van, of the Boaid of America, and C.
T. Boland and William Peel, of Car
bondale, of the Boaid of I'Jrin, were
appointed a committee on credentials.
When they had reported one hundred
and sixty-live delegate" present und
no contests or questions, the conven
tion proceeded to the election of per
manent olllcers according to the rules
of the Board of America, which remain
In foice until the national convention
meets.
William Dawson was chosen presi
dent; James P. McAndrew, of Wlnton,
vice-president; James J. O'Hara, of
Dunmore, recoullng secietary, Wil
liam McAndrew, of the Wes( Side,
financial secretary; John J. Costello, of
Providence, treasuter; Hon. J. C.
Vuughan, Anthony McAndrew, William
McDonough, A. J. Mulderlg, of Scran
ton; John P. Collins, of Carbondale,
and W. J. Costello, ot Dunmore, board
of directors.
All of these aie Board of America
men. The Board of Erin men declined
to accept any ofllces, holding that us
the others were In the majority they
should rule. They had agieed upon
this befote going Into the convention
and their determination could not he
shaken, although the Board of America
men tried by every means to persuade
them to accept at least n share of the
honors.
MR. DAWSON'S REPORT.

Jan. 1, 18'JS, the Board of America In
this county had a membership of L285

or.
A paint mine, near Factoiyvllle,
owned by Scinnton men, Is to bo oper
ated at once. The necessary machin
ery has been Installed and as soon as
a few minor repaiis are made opera
tions will begin. The mine Is located
on a creek leading from Luke St. John
and Is one and a half miles from Fac
toryvllle. Ex-Mayor W. L. Connell Is piesldent
and ex-Sheilff P. II. Clemons, secre
tary and Measurer of the company.
Others Interested are A. J. nnd II. A.
Connell, John R. Davis. M. K. Worden
and H. C. Reynolds. They own thlity
acres lying between the bed of tho
creek nnd the hill-top. Nearly ull this
plot contains a mineral paint deposit,
the aveinge thickness of which is
thought to he .sixteen or eighteen feet.
The common but erroneous Idea of a
"paint mine" Is a. bank of red clay
which is dug out nnd mixed with oils
to make It marketable and suitable for
painting tallroad cars and loofs. But
this Is not the cae. The deposit Is
mineral and has to be blasted out. It
Is then roasted, crushed In a dlslnte
grater and Dually ground to powder.
The pioduct Is packed In barrels and
sold to the "mixers" or wholesalers,
the big paint dealers.
The mineral paint is It is taken from
the ground Is a hematite Iron ore, oxi
dized. A novice might describe It as
lotten Iron me and not be far amiss,
as a stnull piece of It ha about the
same consistency ns n, piece of hard
shale rock It Is too h'ard however to
be mined with a pick. Powder is nec
esrary to remove it from Its 'jed. Al
ter being roasted It is crushed In a dis
integrator to about the size of chest
nut ccpl to facilitate its grinding.
In the grinding piocess horizontal
stones of the mill type nro usjd. There
are two sets of stones. The second
set grinds the mineral as tine as Hour
or to an Impalpable powder. This re
duced, the product is put In barrels
nnd sold to the mixer. The mills at the
Factoryvlllo mine have a capacity of
firm 15 to 20 tons per day. The paint
Is sold for $22 upward per ton.
As lecelved by the mixer the powder
Is the ptlmary Ingredient or base for
the manufnctuie of the final nalnt
product, such as is used for painting
In any color. The color of the Fac
toiyvllle powder Is that most valued,
neatly a Venltlan red. It can be pre
pared by the mixer into the various
tints used by the trade. Other mines
develop mineral paints of drab, brown
and yellow color according to the na
ture and effect of the Iron In the de
posit. m

The Rev. Robert Wilson, of St. Luke's
Eplscopul church, says; "In I6S3 I met In
Richmond a Col. McCoy, of Pennsylvania,
who hud been a gallant wearer of tho
blue. We got quite chummy over a
'mixed wood' campllre, nnd, wishing to
put him at his ease, t told him the story
ot Kershuw's magnlttccnt icconnolssance
at Fredericksburg, which can never bo
too often repeated. An orderly hud arriv
ed In hot huste with u command for Gen.
Kershaw to have the cnemj rcconnoltered
ut all haz.aids from a knoll which wus
swept by the fire of tho sharpshooters of
both nrmtcs. Every bush and tree had
been cut uwuy by the sloim of bullets,
and It looked like certain death to the
man who should attempt It. Calmly
slinging his tleld glass, und turning over
his command to the next officer In rank,
Joseph U. Kershaw rode slowly up to tho
death trap, Into which he would not send
nny other man. The sight of his heroic
action as he sat amid the whistling mln
ies, sweeping the opposing ranks with ills
glass, was too much for the chivalry or
the Yankee commander, and the order
went down the Federal Hue: 'Cease fir
ing on that olllcerl' The rifles became si
lent, the reconnolssnnco wus finished,
and, raising Ids cap In acknowledgment.
Gen. Kershaw quietly rode back al a
walk, unharmed."
"It was 11 splendid Incident." remarked
Col. McCoy, "but I can cap It with a per
fconal experience of the chlvulious dispo
sition of your men. I wus on General
Meade's staff near Richmond, nnd one
morning, with the General at our head,
we rode down to take a look over the

found ourselves In point blank range of

Oieat musicians use Klmballs. The
testimony of miiMiclans who command
a salnry of from $1,000 to $L000 for each
peiformance must be accepted as hav
ing weight. They, nt least, escape tho
charge of not know Ing what they nro
talking about. Lillian Notdlca hays:
"The more I use my Kimball piano thu
better I like It." Jean De Iteszke says:
"We have concluded to put chaise Kim
ball planus for our personal use." John
Philip Sousa clulms: "The Kimball
piano la ilrst-clnss In every respect."
Some of the most beautiful cases in
walnut, mahogany and oak can be seen
here. I have some line large pianos,
all colois,. from JJ50 to $350, on easy
teiniH, and u term of lessons free.
