The latest up-to-date union was
formed in this city on Tuesday even

reforms thnt can be made which will
Intlli't no losses on their employees and
yet at tho same time will tend tc Im
prove their portion of the day, and
among other benefits specially worth

About forty clerks attended the Ini
tial meeting of the new organization
In St. Hose hall, which was cnllsd for
the purpose of perfecting a permanent

ducted the. meeting, and Mr. Hermes,
who Is the autliorized local rrgnnlzer,
instituted tho union.
No definite plan has yet been out
lined as to the probable future work
of the organization. The union expects
to carry on Its work in a conservative
way and expects to receive tho cor
dial support and sympathy of the .Mer
chants' association. A working card
wlij'..be Issued to each member. The
union will amalgamate with the Amer
IcAn'Tederatlon of Labor.

A Badly Mangled Boy.
A boy named Jessup, from Jermyn,
was received at the Emergency hos
pital last evening. He Is a slate-picker,
aged 12 years, and was employed
In the Sherwood breaker at that place.
He somehow got In tho rollers and was
tertlbly mangled. It was said at tho
hospital last evening thut his chances
of life were extremely precarious, as
ho 'had sustained terrible Inceratlous
of the muscles of the legs and abdomen
and was severely injured Internally.
this latter Injury will be a perma
nent one Is not yot knewn. A train
ed nurse Is in attendance nnd her or
ders are to allow no one to sec him,
so a host of well-meaning friends wero
turned nwny yesterday when they
came to Inquire ns to ills condition.
This is tho second accident Mr.Sahm
has sustained in going to a fire. Abiut
seven yean ngo, while tho Hotel An
thracite was being built, an uncov
ered ditch extended part of tho way
across South Main street. An alarm
of flic came In and Abe was driving
them down the street when the horses
went Into the ditch, throwing him over
the dashboard. He struck on tho road
not more than twenty feet from whero
he struck yesterday motnlng, and was
taken to the hospital for repairs, rc
mulnlng there about tlueo weeks. This
m cldent did not seem to quench his
ardor as a volunteer fucmun, nnd he
has continued to be among the first
to respond to an nlarm.
The accident happened at an un
fortunate 'time, for Mr. Sahm Is one of
the most energetlo of tho Columbia
Hose company's men, nnd the fair
now being held by the company in tho
Unrke building owes much of Its suc
cess lo his executive ability, he being
chairman of tho executive committee.
Uo devoted several days to decorating
tho hall and embodied many of hW
up-to-date Ideas In the conduct of It.

OUDEAL OF BRIDAL COUPLE.
Unembarrassed Young' Man Aston
ishes Some Passengers.
1'ioin Hip Xtw Voik Sun.
The bridal couple hoarded the ttaln
at Suspension bridge. Ho was a
sinooth-fnced, well-set-up young man
and sho was a sweet, pretty girl of a
bride. Thero was a large, very hilar
ious company of wedding guents to see
them off, and as the pair struggled
from their carriage to the sleeping ear
they were almost lost to view In show
ers of rice nnd flying old shoes. Even
this demonstration was not considered
adequate, anil a dozen or su young men
followed them to their seats and
jioured stieauis of rlco over them and
down their backs until the train pulled
out, whil'i the croud on the plat form
howled Joyfully.
The young rotipln stood the ordeal
with great courage, and after tint train
had started did m well that before
long tho rest of the passengers in the
car left olf watching them nnd began
turning in.
The nest morning the Intel est In
them crow again, when section nfter
section of the car was made up until
the bridul couple's section stood alonn
with Its curtains still drawn. This was
the state of things nt S o'clock, and nt
S.so there had been no change. Nine
nnd a riuiiiier past, came round, and
still there was no sign of llfo from the
Initial section. When shortly after P.oO
a slight, mysterious movement was ap
parent behind the curtains, almost a
sigh of relief went up from the rest of
thu car.
The movement continued. Increased,
until suddenly, after nn especially vlo
lent agitation "f the curtains, they
parted hulllrlently to lot u young man
slip between them Into the aisle. Ills
hair was rumpled nnd his coat collar
turned up. nnd lie curried a traveling
bag and various articles of wearing
npparel to bo donned in the wash
room. As tho young mun hurried for
ward ho seemed somewhat puzzled by
thu almost smiling Interest of tho rest
of tho cur. but of oinbarrabsmeiU ho
showed not a trace.
When ho had dlxunpcuiPd the car
settled Itself to uwalt the agress of the
Initio. But If sho was about to make
Mr. und Mrs, Uester E. Butts uie I her appearunco she showed no signs of
It. Neither sound nor motion was dis
cernible from the recesses behind the
c.urtulns, In a little while tho young
man came back, showing tho freshened
effect of cold water and hair brushes
and moved the bottom of tho curtains
nlde sulllclcntly to shove his bag un
der the berth. As he rose to his feet
again the car saw that he was looking
down rellectlvely nt the cargo of rlcn
which covered tho floor. Ho continued
to regard It for some tlmo, fixedly.
Then he raised his eyes and surveyed
tile car There was a more or less un
suppressed smile on every face, but tho
young man still showed no embarrass
ment. His eyes traveled down onii
sldo und back the other, nnd they wero
tilled only a calm thoughtfulncss. Then
he arranged the folds of the heavy cur
tains with elaborate solicitude, nnd fin
ally wont forward again and whispered
something to tho porter. The car, tn
a passenger, would probably havn
gladly paid double fare to havo heard
those halt-dozen whispered words. Tim
pretty mystery was assuming propor
tions. But tho porter only said: "Yea.
suh." And then the young man went
over and sat down gravely In an end
seat from where he, looked smack Into
the face of every soul In the car.
By this time It was no longer Interest
that movfd tho Inmatts of the cav; U
was palpitation of the heart. Tho air
was crisp with expectation It sjemed
certain that the bride must now make
her appearance.
The next moment tho porter came
down tho alsla toward the bridal sec
tion. Ho was a fat and very black por
ter. For un Instant ho paused befor
the silent curtains. Then a thrill of
horror ran through the car nnd sev
eral men got half way to their feet.
With two swift movements ho had
pulled the curtains wide apart and
was thumping and pulling at some
thing within! Another lUstunt and
horror had given wny to amazement,
for tho Inside of tho berth Immediately
berumo visible to all who cared to see.
The porter was making up the section.
Tho bt'.de had vanished.
The car turned swiftly to the hup
less bridegroom on the rront seat. An
expression of Arcadian simplicity rest
ed on his countenance.
A few moments later tho porter start
ed toward his linen closet, but half
wny down the aisle he was hold up by
a half doT.cn male passengers with
wonder-stricken faces.
"What has become of the bride'''
they demanded.
Tho porter scratched his head und
looked at them uncomprohcndtngly.
Then he showed his teeth In a grim
'Oh, tho bridal couple w'at got on at
Stihpjnsion Brldgo?"ho said. "They
dono left tho train late last night. They
didn't huvo tnelr section made up. That
gentleman down In front of tho car h
had upper one. 'n ho kicked so I shift
ed him over soon as the bridal coupl
left."
The car turned again toward the
young man on the front scat. The ex
piession of Arcadian simplicity wns
Kill with him. But for the first tlmo
ucross his face there glimmered a
faint, thoughtful smile.
Tho half-dozen mnlo passengers and
the porter held a moment's consulta
tion In the middle nf the cur. 'Chen
they camo forwnrd, nnd one of their
number said something in a low volco
to tho young man on the front seat.
Tho young mnn rose lo his feet, still
smiling thoughtfully.
"I see," he said softly- "I don't cai
If I do."
As the crowd filed to wan) the buffet
car soma one In tho rear of the pro
cession began to whistle Mendelssohn'
"Wedding March," Then the passen.
gets In the seats began to laugh.
