EVENTS FORESHADOWED I The Alembor of the Legislature From the First District Is the latest Cnmlhlate In the Field For CuiigreflMonnl Honorn, llrutnm llrtlceiit. Special IIeiuld correspondence. Pottsville, Feb. 14 The trouble be tween the Poor Directors and tho Controller has been amicably settled and hereafter the latter will make all the contracts for sup plies and attend to the advertising for bids. In tho new order of things it will take time before they will run smoothly, but "Our Ben," as ho Is now kown, will eventually have everything In good order. It is whispered, though 'tis but a faint whisper, that our baldheaded statesman will be a candidate for Congress and orders will soon go out to his henchmen through the count? to whoop'er tin forSamlval. I am re liably informed that Hon. C. N. Brunim has fully mado up Ills mind what he wtll do in connection with that ofllce and will mako known his determination shortly. It Hon John T. Shoener has not secured a quit claim upon tno otuce, 110 nail Doner hustle, notwithstanding tho chances seem to favor him. There aro few people in Pottsville, or who visit tne town, wno aro not acquainted with Lew. Bocam, tho F ench barber. Ho boa few equals in the tonsorial profession and a friend tells mo that on, can spend an hour or two very profitably listening to recitals of his army experiences. When not on the march, or in an engagement during the war for the Union, he was cook for "headnnarters" in tho 96th regiment, and many a toothsome dish he served tor the olllcers. The delegates to tho Schuvlklll Press As soctatlon meeting, held hero on Tuesday, put up at tne Merchants' Motel. What trans pired at the session will not be known until tho body alters Its resolution ot secrecy, but a gentleman who was near the room where It was heRl says tho scribes had a lively time, At times the voices could bn heard by tho people on tno lower uoor or tno Hotel, it is believed, however, that thu country is safe. that tho newtpipor men will continue to do business at their old Btawls, and the (Join mlBsioncrs and Controller will bo permitted to pursue their courso in their own way of thinking. The new spaper men of this county, its a whole, are a pretty good set. Doyle, of tho Shenandoah i ev, was not on hand and if ho was in tho towa, nobody saw him. Tho fellows he has denominated as "hogs" were lying in wait for him, but were obliged to bottle tbelr Indignation. Hon. Joel B. McCamant came from Both lehem on Tuesday and helped celebrate the eightieth anniversary of his mother-in law, Mrs Boyle. "Unclo Jool" is in first class health and never looked better. He Is as hard a Democrat as ever, but not of tbe Cuckoo kind, and on that account stands higher in tho estimation of his old friends I beliovo Mr, McCamant made a mistake In leaving Schuylkill county. Had ho remained hero ho wouli.' no doubt bo in (Jongreas now Another candidate for Congress has ap peared upon the horizon Iu the person of the ilepresentatlve of the First Legislative district, that gentleman is soaring bigli these times and ho may land there, notwilh standing tho lateness of the season and the short Ico crop. "Davo" Phillips' boom for tho same office is hardly noticeable yet. It is Kept in tne uarK. Notice, Any subscriber who fails to roceive the Evening Herald Is respectfully requested to notify the main office, on East Coal street, or tho branch office, Reese's auction rooms, 011 Wcet Centre street. People who wish to become subscribers and havo not been called upon by the solicitors will ploaso leave their names at cither of tho places above men tioned. Owing to a change in tho carrior system of tho Evening IIeiiai.d It has become nocessary to mako a now canvass of all tho routes. Iu doing this tho canvassers sometimes miss some of the old subscribers, The publisher will feel grateful to any who will render assistance In remedying any such discrepancies. Dltil. MoNEALIS.

Heroic Men Trying tn Effect llescnn ut the Plymouth Mills. Special to Evening Herald, Plymouth, Feb. 16. The situation of af fairs at tho Gaylord colliery of the the Kings ton Coal Company, whoro thirteen or more minors havo been Imprisoned since Tuesday morning in the wordings, remains about the same. Mo signs of the men have been found by tho numerous rescuing turtles wormng through various potts of tho mine still open, and tlio conviction is deepening that all tho miners were killed by the first fall and lio exactly where tho last men out of tho mine Monday night lilt them hard at work tlm beting. Three gangs of thirty men each aro rollov. in g each other at frequent Intervals at the clearing out of tho old airway which was be, gun yesterday, but progress Is necessarily slow on account of tho very insecure con dition of the roof and sides of the passage and tho further necessity of placing very heavy tlmboring as fast as tho work progresses. Tbocavcin extends for a distanco of fully 2000 feet and has n width of about twelve feot and a height of about twenty feet. Tho mass of debris encumbering this passigo amounts to hundreds of thousands of tons, and it would bo an impossible task to remove it, with tho limited number of men which can bo accommodated, tn less than a month. .Luckily tho debris does not nil tho gang way entirely, there remaining an open Bpaco or about a toot near the root through wnicu tho fans are ablo to draw air and keep the clr culation throughout tho mine nearly as perfect as usual, thus preventing any great accumu lation of cub. and at tho samo timo furnishing plenty of good air to tbo imprisoned nun if thoy aro still alive. But, while the air lusiuo the mine is god, too other conditions con dticlvo to safety are far from satisfactory, Tho "soueoze" has not coascd by any means. and the work of rescuo is pupuert only at tho groatost rule to tho lives ot tno men, A foot of shaft.

'1 hree times before yesterday heavy falls of top rocK occurred near where tho rescue gangs wero at work, causing a torriblo rush of air, which threw the men in every dlrco tlon and prompted n quick retreat to tho foot 01 iue snait. Last night the work in tho old alrwav had reached a point; about thirty foet from tho supposedly clear chambers leading to tho old lino breast, whero many snpuose tho unfor lunate men may havo retreated, but hero it is uiocKeu tiy a solid pillar or coal which is botng drilled through. The experiment of tapping on this pillar and waiting for an answor from the other side was tried and some of the men thought thoy dotocted a faint answering rap. This hub given tuo searcueis iresu courage, and iney are straining every nerve. Jleantlme the clearing of the main nlane is beln? vlimr. ously but carefully prosecuted, and 150 feet 01 tne duo to no cleared has been timbered. From this point the passage seems to be moro closely choked. It will tako inrolv two days morokto finish this plane to whero tho men were last seen, even undor the most favorable circumstances.
