PJiimbcr of .11 on formerly Employed in -tho Mine Hero l'lnccd on ttie Stand and Onvo Testimony. Testimony to sustain the common wealth's contention was heard before Judgo Qunatcr, Saturday, In tho In junction proceedings brought by Mine Inspector Edward Hoderlclc to restrain tho Elk 11111 Coal and Iron company from operating Its Richmond No. 3 col liery until certain repairs and Improve ments ordered by tho Inspector are completed. Hon. E. N. Wlllard ap peared for tho Inspector and W. J. Hand and I. II, Burns for tho com pany. A number of experts and men who have been employed at the mine went on the stand and sworo that It Is a very dangerous place to work under present conditions. Evidence was also adduced from Inspector Roderick to the rffect that the mine Is extremely gase ous and that the absence of a second opening makes possible a terrible calamity should some accident happen to the ventilation. John Indian, who was foreman nt the mine for twenty-one years; Morgan Davis, at one time general superintend ent of tho company's works; P. J. Moore, a Delaware and Hudson mine foreman; Edward Eberson and David "Williams, until recently miners nt the Richmond, all gave testimony of Its dangerous character. The last named stated that on one occasion, when trouble occurred In the shaft, the men had to climb up the shaft on ladders a distance of 300 feet and then be hoisted In a bucket the rest of tho way. One man, he said, is still suffering from a cold which ho contracted through this Imprisonment. Inspector Roderick explained the workings of the mine with the aid of maps and other drawings, pointing out how in the Dunmore or lower vein there Is no means of exit except through tho main shaft and how, If anything happened to the brattice work which regulates the ventilation In the main shaft, tho men at work in the Dunmore vein would be smothered be fore they could be taken out. Ho also detailed the other causes of complaint heretofore enumerated and explained what he would have the com pany do to comply with what he Inter prets the mine law to be. The defense will be heard this morning. CITY GOVERNMENTS DISCUSSED. Topics on Many Decades Considered by (-ivies Club. A number of Interesting municipal topics were considered at Saturday "Ight's meeting of the Civics club In Albright library hall.

I Collins; city Government In Ancient Athens," Professor Tarbuck; "Government of European Cities After Roman Decad ence," H. C. Shafor. Mr. Torrey, Professor Tarbuck and Mr. Shafer, 'respectively discussed top ics which had been assigned, respect ively, to Select Councilman C. E. Chit tenden, Professor W. II. Buell and J. W. Browning. The three latter wero unable to be present. Mr. Torrey treated at some length of tho amendment of 1S79, which was de signed to separate as widely as possible the law making, law executing and law lecldlng powers of municipal bodies. rmnclls now were limited to legisla te and confirmative action. He Gpught the spirit of the United States constitution should be followed closely in city government and that select council be arranged to contain nine members, four elected at large nnd five from as many select council districts. Mr. Collins" paper on "New England Town Meetings," gave a rare insight Into tho many liberties enjoyed by the town governments of two centuries ago and the restriction placed upon the citi zens. The laws provided not only what garments should be, what per sonal conduct should be, but designated time, place, etc., for nil things and regulated prices In many Instances. The size of a woman's sleeve and tho amount of lace on a man's coat wero things which the town boards regu lated. N FIVE MORE REMONSTRANCES. Wnverly, ns.

The Wheel with the bright . ,.w,. -.. . . .. , CHRISrS FIRST MIRACLE. Topic ol II. A. Grant's Sermon Last Mght in A. .11. V. Church. Rev. II. A. Grant, B. D., pastor of tho Howard Place African Methodist Epis copal church, preached last evening on "Christ's first miracle," choosing as a te::t John II, 1-11: "And the third day there was a marriage In Cana of Gal ileo; and the mother of Jesus was there." Tho speaker In part said: Much has been said in reference to Christ performing a mlraclo in creating wine on this occasion, and many have drawn from this fact an argument in fuvor of tho uso of Intoxicating bever ages. Tho facts In tho case will not, however, warrant such a conclusion. There is no evidenco that tho wlno which Christ created on this occasion possessed any Intoxicating principle. It Is evident, from tho remaiks of tho ruler of tho feast, that It was different from what they had been using, and far superior In its quality. If wo consider the miracle in connection with tho subsequent teachings of Christ and his apostles on tho sub ject of tcmpoinnce, tho presumption that ho did not create au intoxicating bovcr ago is very strong. We have prosei ted his social character. "Both Jesus was called, and His dis ciples, to tho marriage.' Christ was not a recluse. Ho did not withdraw Himself from tho society of men, but freely as sociated with them, not only In tho midst of sadness and sorrow, but ulso on oc casions of festivity and Joy. Ho showed hU sympathy and fellow-feeling for them without approving of or indulging In any of their vices. Another Important truth presented in this na8age, in leferenco to Christ, Is tne absolute power which he exercises over nature. Science has given to man, In many respects, great power over na ture, In controlling and utilizing its forces. In these Instances the various forces exist in nature end aro only discovered and npplied by human ingenuity. Hut Christ possesses a power above nature a power that can control nature In a manner contrary to her established laws. Ho has only to speak, to look, to will, and naturo obeys His behest, and tho work ts accomplished. In tho case be jro us there is no Intimation given that any outward, visible means wero employed to turn the water Into wine. This miracle, had Christ never per formed another, would bo sufllclent to prove him Divine. We nro told In the text that In the performance of His very llrst mlraclo Ho "manifested forth His glory." Christ placed u high estimate on works. Ho suld on ono occasion, "My Father workoth hitherto, und I work." Work Is the measuro of a man's ability and tho true Index to his character. All men of renown aro renowned for their deed. Tho glory of character is presented in tho grandeur of achievement. Tho world, In carrying out Its vast en terprises, demands work. Mero theor ists, who speculate and dream, aro not the m n who promote tho Interests of ro cloty, develop Its resources, and secure Its highest prosperity. It requires men of resolution, of energy, of action, in every department of business, to Insure success, So it is In tho church. That which wo can do for ourselves, wo havo no right to except Ood. by u divine Interposition, to do for us. The servants could not turn the water Into wine, but they could nil tho wotur nots with water, and having done what they could, Christ porformed tho rest. JONAS LONG'SjSONS.

EABLY SPRING Brings Omens of Disease to Many People. Almost every ono has come to be lieve that March, April and May Is a season that brings derangements of tho body dependent upon blood Impurities. This 'belief is an old one, Is nearly unl vcisal, nnd has arisen, not -as a result of the teachings of tho medical frater nity, but 1ms been learned In the bitter school of experience. It is certain that tho medlcnl profession has not given tho subject the at tention that It de serves, and as a con sequence, a great many mistaken no tions prevail as to the causo of these blood Impurities, Catarrh Is the most frequent cause. Ca tarrhal congestions of the organs of di gestion (I. e., stom ach, bowels, pancreas and liver,) may result from the Inclement woather of winter or from chronlo catarrh of tho head or throat. Tho congestion causes disturbed digestion, dyspepsia, bilious ness, constipation or Irregular move ments of the bowels, which renders the blood Impure. Mr. J. T.
