The Alembor of the Legislature From the
First District Is the latest Cnmlhlate In
the Field For CuiigreflMonnl Honorn,

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.

THE ENTOMBED MINERS.
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.

'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.
