The matter in somf form will come up before the Board ul Trade at its next on Mondaj ' ! night. It is difficult to undeistand why « project to manufacture vitrified brick j in Danville should not sicceed. Thert r is no longer any doubt cs to the «jnal ; lty of the shale.

Moreover thero never was a moit " j auspicious time to enter upon the ' manufacture of vitrified brick in Dan ville. Street paving here is no lougei 1 a dream. The petition presented tc !

Tho Governor requested Sup erintendent Shumaker togo to Golds e boro and ascertain if anything could e be done. Mr Shumaker went to Golds i- boro where his party was met by Sen r atur McConkey and several hundred oof the residents of tho town. !- Numerous methods of getting to tiie h island were suggested by tiie people d who did not have the courage to at '. tempt to put them to use and Mr. e Shumaker adopted his own course, o He proposed togo over the gorge out d the resideuts implored him not to do so as they declared such an attempt 0 would result iu his death. To add to u the darger of a break iu the ice was y the dense fog which hung over the riv d er. As thero was no compass in tlie party the fog made it extremely haz ardous to venture on tiie ice because h of the dauger of getting lost. After a thrilling climb over the great jam of ice the party reached the is land iu safety and found it to be sub merged to the depth of five feet. The imprisoned people were found safely lodged on the second floor of the house aud were brought to the edge ol the gorge in a boat. Six of tho children were removed iu the first boat and carried safely to the Goldsboro shore. The work of rescu ing coutinued until the entire party of fourteen, four women, eight children and two men were removed to Golds boro. Iu the rescue party was the mother of the Burgers, who is more than 70 years old. The aged woman was great ' ly affected by tlie bravery of the men in coming to her aid at the ' risk of their lives. Between sobs she muttered: "I am old and no lcuger ot any use here. It would net have mat r tored if I had died. Why did you men risk your lives for me." Miss Edna Kurtz, of Middletown, a school teacher and daughter of one of s the employees of Superintendent Shu maker, was imprisoned on the island H with the Burgers aud rescued with them. While the work of rescue was in progress Governor Pennypacker re ceived a telephone message from a man ' in York, who declared it was impos sible lor tho men to rescue the people r on the island and suggested that the Governor send to Atlantic City and 1 get the United States Lift* Saving Crew to come to the rescue with a ' breeches buoy. The Governor had Executive Clerk Lynch telephone to ' Superintendent Shumaker aud learn k if such was the condition of affairs ' To the inquiry ot Mr. Lynch Super ' iuteudent Shumaker shouted back: ' "Tell the Governor we do uot need the life saving crew. Six of the chii dreu have already been removed from ' the islaud and thu other 9 will be in a 1 short time." Besides the people there are sixty horses and cattle on the island These ' were placed ou the second storj of tiie i barn when the river began to rise. Ko effoit was made to rescue the cattle as au attempt to take them over the ice was too hazardous and it was deemen • unwise to risk human life in tho en , deavor to save the live stock. As no I one is on tho island to feed the cattle they may starve to death. ' Less liquor was sold in Luzerne r county last Sunday than ou any pro ' vious Sunday for the last five years, r according to a statement made by the r representatives of tho Anti-Saloon ' League. * The dryness of the county was due to the action of the Luzerne county ' court iu refusing licenses to places 1 where liquor was to bo had on Sun days and its implied warning that licenses will be revoked immediately in cases where if is shown that t'.e 5 law is being violated. The Auti-Saloon League is jubilant ' over its victory, but not too sanguine 1 of the continuance ot the tightno sin tin Sun Jay saloon business. Detectives have been engaged and they will circulato iu every part ot the county for the purpose of «e<;ur 1 ing evidence. The plan of campaign this year is to make arrests immedi ately after evidence is secured and ask the ccart for tho revocation of the lieonsos of the offending deahrs. It is thought that summary action of this kind will do more to s'op Sunday busine-s in the saloons than any other means. Judge Marr, "112 Schuylkill county, has exactly the right conception of a judge's duty when it comes to dealing with offeuders against the laws. When the recently convicted ex-clerk of the courts was brought before him for senteuce, having been convicted of embezzling twelve thousand dollars of fees that rightfully belonged to the county, the judge declined tj take notice of his appeal for mercy bast d in the statement that his at torney had nlvised him that the retention ot the money was legal aud that it was the ust'im of his predecessors. He was given three years in the penitentiary •ud a fine equal to the amount of lit a peculation. Judge Marr means that the laws shall be obeyed.

HAZLETrON, March 9.—Factional disputes growing out of differences between the German and English members of the St. Paul's Reformed church, this city, resulted yesterday in a petition being presented to the Wyoming classis, in session at West Hazleton, requesting the resignation of the Rev. C. H. Herbst, the pastor. Action several weeks ago to give English services prominence over tie German has precipitated the light and has disrupted tie congregation. Iri dosing the petitioners say: "II classis do ss not want to be responsible for the souls that are becoming iudiff orcnt and not attending church, they •Jnold remove Rav.

Lewis ] Whea we reached the equator In the brig Tornado, bound from Liverpool ! around the Horn, we expected to find a period of culms, and no one wus eur i prised when we lost the winds and lay , like a tog on the water for five suc cessive duys. Then the five days be came Beveii—eight ten. On the afternoon of the tenth day the captain ordered three boats down to tow the brig to the eastward. TJ;e * idea was ut first balled with satisfuc s tion, but after we had labored for an boor without seeming to have moved r the ship as much as a hundred feet the men refused to do another stroke r of work. . At midnight of the fourteenth day a few catspaws began playing about and 1 sail was trimmed to catch them, but 1 the brig had no more than got steerage ) way when it fell a flat calm again. From the llrst day of the calm we . had visitors In tlie shape of sharks. [ There wore only two or three on the first day, but after that we could al ways count a dozen at least. Put for the presence of these monsters the ' men could have found some relief ' from the heat In the water. On the flf , teentii day, after a long spell of box 1 hauling the yards about to catch the r puffs which had no weight In them, , the carpenter announced that be was going to cool off alongside If It cost I,lm bis life. Some of the men had gone below a d some were lying about wherever they could tind shade when he went ' over the bows. I was seated on the i heel of the bowsprit, where I got a bit i of air as the ship rose and fell on the glassy ground swell, and writhe only . one aboard who witnessed the tragedy. j ISefore dropping into the water the ' man looked about him. The dorsal lins of ten or twelve sharks were cutting 1 the water, and he must have fully re t allzed the risk he was about to run. I furthermore called his attention to It. , but be growled out something about my minding my own business and j made a dive from the rail. Every shark's fin went out of sight In an instant, and I thought the man ' | would never rise to the surface. He ' J came up after a few minutes, however, * j und swam off to a distance of about a * j hundred feet. lie was treading water : and brushing his long hair out of his , { eyes when I saw a flash of white in the 1 j water near him, and next instant he ! was pulled down. He uttered but oue cry and threw up his arms. ! Fifteen seconds after he was pulled j down an enormous shark broke water with the unfortunate man In his jaw. For a full minute the voracious fish I circled about on the surface, with bis victim kicking and struggling, and i then he disappeared into the depths to i be R4*en no more. Several of the men came running forward in response to j ' my shouts, but nothing was to be seen 1 except a few ripples on the surface. That night a queer thing happened. It was a clear moonlight night, and at midnight the man on lookout awoke from a stolen nap to find a derelict close aboard. The whole crew was routed out to take action in case she drifted aboard of us, but that did not 1 happen. ' She approached within a cable's i length and then came to a standstill. She had come on us from the north, being caught in some current per- , haps not over 200 feet in width. We mude her out to be a brig, with l»otli . masts and bowsprit Kone, and she was ! so plainly a drifting wreck that we did j not even hail her. The next morning she still held her place, and she was boarded for infor- , mation. She proved to be the Polar ! Star, from an American port, aud the i last entry In her leg referred to a ; | gale In which she had been dismasted and was about to be abandoned. The date was months old. All the crew were willing to turn to, and we took cargo out of the derelict yliich j afterward sold In Liverpool for sli>,- , 000. When we hud finished transship- ! ping, we towed her half a mile away j aud scuttled her. On the morning of the twentieth day i of the calm, belli* a spell which only ■ a few ships have ever encountered, the second mate declared that there must be a dead nmn clinging to the ship's keel. It was an old superstition, i and oue now laughed to scorn on most j ■hips, but on this occasion no one In- j d'llged In ridicule. The men soon began to talk among j themselves, and within an hour the captain had given permission for a boat to be lowered to make an inves tigation. The mate and two men went In the boat, and, beginning on the port bow, they worked aft and around the ship. When they were amidships on the starboard side they began shout ing and cheering, and the announie ment was made that they had founJ a body. Four or five feet below the water line the copper sheathing bad been rolled up by some accident, and \eld fast by the sharp catching n his clothes was the body of a drowned sailor. As the brig rolled the corpse was brought Into view and pulled away with a boat hook. We must have picked him up as we lay there, although It was curious that c corpse should be floating around there among the sharks and not be de voured. There It was, however, and a weight was put to the feet to send It to the bottom. And did that break the calm? The log of the Tornado says that the breezo came at noon, anil she went flying down to the Horn In her old style and reached port without further adven ture. What the captain thought I do not know; hut. as for the crew, every one believed that had the dead man not been found and removed the calm might have lasted for months. M. QUAD. fluttered l.ock*.
