MR. EISENHOWER'S SERIES
OF MISFORTUNES.
ii CASE WORTHY OF NOTIGB
Item Hian a Ynr Ago it Was
the Subject of Public Notioe
and Aroused General
Sympathy The Story.
X accident whtcli oo
mirreil In the Keliley
Run colliery yesterday
bears with it many
touching features aside
from the sufferings of
the victim. Washing
ton Eisenhower ami his
family reside on East
Line street, near Rowers. Fortune lias been
very sparing with the household and many
uflltetions have fallen upon it the past few
years, and espocMtlly within tha jiast ten
months. - Yestorday Mr. ntsenhuwor, the
head of tlio family, sustained injuries from a
blast that deprive the household of his help
for Homo weeks lo come. Klyiug pieces of
coal toro the llcsh aud nuncios about li Is
thighs, lower abdomen ami left arm and the
greatest oaro will bo required to heal the
wounds.
Mr. Eisenhower's version of the accident
is that ho was driving a chute. In preparing
for a blast ho put a touch squill in one hole
and a sulphur squlh in another. After light
ing both ho retiied to a place of safety. One
of the holes fired. Mr. Kifcnhowor says he
waited IS or 20 minutes lor thy other and
then went into the placo to relight the other
squib, supposing it hud gone out. Just as lie
got to the place the shot went olf and he
caught the force of the flying debris on his
thighs and arms. It is said the sulphur squib
went oil' first and the touch squib, for some
unexplainod reason, held lire.
A lew years ago ono of M r. Eisenhower's
sons was killed 011 tho P. & R. railroad at
No. 3, and n short timo after another son was
killed on tho Lehigh Valley railroad, in the
cut near Mniu street in this town, Lust Jluy
when the family was sorely in distress finan
cially aud otherwise on account of Mr.
Eisenhower having been out of work for a
number of weeks, partly 011 account of ill
hcfs and because work was scarce when he
was well, an infant died. Tho facts were
given to tho public and tho family was re
lieved of its distrisa, but a few days later the
sixteen-year-old son died suddenly. An In
vestigation showed that he died from the
cil'ccts of a kick on tho head ho received from
a luulo at Forepaugh's circus when it ex
hibited at tho trotting paik.
For tho past few months tho family lias
enjoyed better fortune, the fathur having
secured employment at Keliley Run, but
just as he was hoping to soon recover from
the effects of the Mivero stroke of misfortune
he is made the victim of a serious accident.

As lrireshadowed in yosterday's Hkkai d
we lind to-night tliat seven tenohers who aro
competing in the IIkhai.d's tenclicr's contest
are nbove tho 1,000 mark anil tho eighth is
loss than 100 behind it. Tho positions of the
seven lenders Rr the sumo as yesterday with
one exception. Miss Wasley has ised Mr.
Williams aud leads him by a score of 13'i.
The high day records madu yesterday were:
Miss Baird, 535; Miss Wasley, 2U(i: Mls
Fairchild, 173; Miss Stein, lfiS; Mr. Williams,
157; Miss Coiielly, Ho; Miss Burns lh
and Mhw I-'anst, 125.
The score of yesterday and the day before
show that the' friends of Miss Baird have
taken a startling interest in her behalf and
the young lady now leads her nearest con
tostant by -400 votes.
As .was stated in this column several days
ago, it is not always tho swiftest that win a
race, and although a comparison of tho high
est and losvost in this cuntest to dato shows a
vast difference, thero is no reus in why one,
or even two of tho lowest may not yet perch
on tho topmost round. And as also slated in
this column several days ago, no matter how
far ahead one may get it carries with it no
assurance for victory. A leader with a large
margin dare not tarry. Twenty-four horns
will change the most beautiful picture.
Those In the Hillings of glory,
TboM In the gloom of defeat,
. All with tho battle-blood gory.
In the dusk of eternity meet.
We to-day present to the contestants and
our other leaders two very interesting mes
sages. One is lroui Pottsvillo and reads as
follows :
"Contest Euituh : Hurrah for your con
test I It is bumming Lore and receiving the
uppo't which suuh a deserving project should
receive. Announce in your next issue that
W. U. Mi.rtimer, the PottBviile jeweler, will
give tho gentleman teacher receiving the
highest number of votes a handsome. gold-
Loaded cane."
The other letter is one which overy reader
will peruse more than once. The icutiment
it conveys is ono of the loveliest and tho
teacher referred to will no doubt preserve a
copy of the letter as long as his usefulness in
tho greatest of America's fields of industry
continues, aud perhaps longer, if life exceeds
the vocation. Tho letter lays bare, clearly,
tho relation that springs up between a kind,
patient and efficient teacher, and an obedient,
persevering, industrious and appreciative
pupil. It is really the best communication
wo havo rccoived in connectioa with tho
contest. '
Mh.Editok : I seo by your paper that my
teacher, Mr. Conry, whom I know to be good
and kind, and deserving of first prize, has not
recolvod ono vote. In this letter you will Hud
one vote for him, which I have out out of a
paper that I bought with my own money.
Every penny that 1 shall get from now until
the end of the contest will be spent for votes
for him. lly printing this in your paper you
will do u kind act for ono who thinks n great
deal of his teacher A lovlug pupil.

Each evening sees its close;

by the United Hlates

the business heretofore
done by the Adams

consolidation Increase tho rales? No answer
can be given the question now.
Superintendent Hill, of Philadelphia, and
Route Agent Huff, of Bending, were in town

With some other towns it will bo different.
Messrs. Hill aud Huff have visited or are
now visiting Delano, Ashland, (lirardvllle,
C'entralia and Haven Bun and are closing the
business of the Adams agon as at those
places. As these places are only readied by
the Reading system of roads the United
States Express i'onipauy gobbles p the
agencies.
Siahahoy City will share tho fortune of
escaping tho absorption. It is understood
that tho Adams company will maintain its
agency there and will get its packages in and
out of tho town by wagons connecting with
the Pennsylvania Railroad at tho cemetery.

Tin! J(ittsvllle court gave the counsel for
the Borough Council of this town the (it 01 a
advice the Hkba mi gave the Ceuneilmea
years ago and the same advice the Borough
Solicitor gave them several months later
'go slow." When an application was mad 1
011 Monday to postpone argument on the In
junction, ou the ground that tho counsel for
tho water company was ill, Mr. Hcbalck, rep
resenting the borough, made a bitter prolans
and said tliat if the argument was not bad at
once the Couneilmen might go on with affair)
relating to the water works project and
take ohanses on what tho decision of the
eourt might lie. Judgo Berhtul said th.
grounds upon whioh the application for
pos'ponpincut was made were good ones ami
as the court would be busy with Hrenie ap
plications for the balance of the waek, the
case would have to go over until next Mon
day. The court added that as the Council,
men and eontrnctur were ander Injunction
they had bettor awult a decision of the court
after argument; that if they proceeded to
issue bonds or do anything else in the matter
tlioy would do so at their own risk. If the
Couucilmeu attempt to jump over the iu
junction of tha court they will find tusni-
selves in a dteper hole tliau they have planet!
thouiaclvos in by ejecting tho Hkkai.ii rs

Thomas McIIale, who received a tnteao
of six mouths imjirisoumcnt, $50 fine and tha
costs on his conviction fur assaulting llkrd
(jBUghan, was backed by n strong appeal for
mercy before sentence was passed. There
was a silver lining over him in the son leans
of tho eourt, in tho form of a petition aad
letters from Shenandoah citizens certifying
to his good character and praylug tr
clemency.

rcceivo the order with kindness aud sho
soino disposition to help the board of health
in carrying It out. At tho same time fas
people of Sbamokin must bear in mind that
it would be unreasonable to expect the heart
of health to enforce the order only against
one class, or certain classes of people. The
board would hao no power to make am
exception. Let tho pooplo look upon tha
order as a measure for the benefit of all aud
let the law-abiding citizens be tho ilrst t
stop up and set an example for the other classes;
by being tho first to submit to treatment
under the order.
Apropot of Max Reese's candidacy fine
Justice of tho Peace In the Third waul, his
friends tell a story from which they draw a.
point to show his kindness of heart. Wheu
Max was a justice in the Second wsid some
years ago he had for his constable a tall,
well develoiied man who was of burly ajt
pearaiuc whon beside a man of ordlnarr
size. At that timo a war was being wage
against peddlors. One day the constable
walked Into Max's olllce with a small Iwit
arrested for peddling matches. When stand
ing beside the constablo the boy looked like x
pigmy. Max asked for the witnesses and lb
constable said they were In Lost Creek. "Wo
cannot givo this boy a hearing without wit
nessoj," was the decision and the rnfaihl.
leaving the boy in tho Justloe s office, startei
lur Lost Creek. Max paid no attention t
the boy, who, obsorvinir that ho was undnr u.
restraint, implied or direct, walked out at
the ollico and disappeared. In due time the
constable returned with hi witna-ww
asked for the boy. He raved and swore
wheu Max said he did not kuow where be
was. "I am not a constable or a iailor. vou
should havo locked tho boy up if you wanlw-l
to keep him," was the only satisfaction the
Justice gave and the constable was cUimri
to iy the witnesses, the bill amounting V
something like eight dollars.
