It U Alleged That One Man Who l'rofilifl to be a Regular Praotlnlnc; Thjilclan reddles Ills Treatment ITrom Door to Door. The physicians of town have become very much exercised over the freedom with which quacks and other illegal prac titioners of medicine are allowed to ply their vocation in town and u meeting is to be held to officially call tho attention of tho authorities to the matter. Some of theso illegal practitioners, one of the medical profession snys, take shelter behind a color ot authority given by a license issued by the Prothonotary. One of them registered upon making nn affidavit that he graduated from a medi cal college in Europe and that he had lost his diploma. This, It is claimed, is an injustice to the profession as the law provides that certificates of registration shall be issued only upon the presentation ot n diploma endorsed by the faculty of one of the Pennsylvania medical eolleges. It la not the opposition or competition which has caused the members of the profession to complain, but tho unpro fessional tactics and deception to which the illegal practitioners have resorted. For Instance, one of tho men complained of has made a practice of going from door to door and inquiring if any occupant of the house desired vaccination or required medical attendance peddling treatment. It is alto claimed that the regular prac titioners aro Injured by the destruction of the faith of people through the unpro fessional conduct of the illegal class. As in the case of a man who was charged $10 for a small vial of liquid on the posi tive assurance that he would be cured. The guarantee fatled and when the man cnlled for tho return of his money the quack drove him from tho house. "A man called upon me the other day," said one of the physicians, yesterday, "and al though ho was sorely in need of treatment and called for that purpose, he said he had been deceived so much by 'Dr.' so and so. 'Dr.' this aud that, he had lost all faith in doctors. Thus it is that the ra ular and legally practicing phjsicinns must HutTer, especially among the poor classes of foreigners who are not intelli gent enough to discriminate and see that they nave been victims or impostors. "This movement is by no means a new one in Shenandoah. On the contrary, the attention oi toe county meuicai societies was called to the matter some time ago, but the complaints have been neglected and no action has ever been taken. The meetinc which is to be hold will decide to agnin call the attention of the county authorities to the matter and if thev fail to net, then the state authorities will be called upon. "Somo who have heard of our com plaints have asked why we do not prose cute theso illegal practitioners. The nnswer Is that should any of us bring n prosecution we would at once be charged with making the light a personal one. The proper method is to report the caie to the county society which, after receiving uue notice anu an proois, prosecutes tue offenders through itsagentsandcouusel." Another complaint made is that the quacks, in trying to secure pntients, make argument that the physicians who gradu ate from foreign medical colleges are superior in nil respects to those who graduate from American colleges because tho former must study several years before they can secure diplomas, while the latter graduate in a few months. It is not only the falsity of the assertion to which makes the profession idlgnant, but alto the fact that the assertions come from people who do not produce diplomas irom any meaicai college. Careful data of all the illegal practi tioners, together with some of the cases they have treated and a summary of their past records is being mauo, anu as soon as complete the meeting for action will be called.

ROBINSON WINS AGAIN. Third LrgMttlve District Convention FrtTornhle) to llllti. Bpeolal to tbe IIeuald. TamaqUA, Slay 1. The Third Legisla tive district convention was convenod here this morning for the purpose of electing one delegate and ono nlternntc to tho Republican state convention which meets at Ilarrisburg on the 23d Inst. The convention was called to order by County Chairman Whltehouse, and after n few brief remarks by that gentleman Secretary Losch read the call for tho meeting. After tho preliminaries had been disposed of tho committee selected James Cnshner, ot Schuylkill township, as permanent chairman. The only nominees for stato delegate placed before the convention were Francis Jobj who represented the Kobinson people, and Frank Kantner, who espoused the cause of the Lyon men. Previous to the ballot being taken an animated discission arose as to tho question of representation. Tlietonvention finally decided that tho representation be tho same as used in the lastfcounty convention. This was con sidered as a knock-out for the Lyon people. ThV election then proceeded with the vote,' and Francis Jo o, of Tamaqua, was electjsd by n handsome majority over ills opponent, Frank Kantner, of Lofty. The latter was then elected as alternate. Hejolutions favorable to Hastings for Governor were pissed. Another Hult Aealnit Nubs Plfrsnuno. May 1. State Councilor William T. Kerr, of this place, the head of the Jr. Order United American Mechanics in this state, has carried his crusade against nuns teaching In the public schools into Cambria county. It will be remembered that he led the move ment In the now celebrated Riverside public school case of Pittsburg, where five nunsfwere compelled to retire from tho fubllh schools. On Sntnrday his attorneys, lon.JT. H. Balrd Patterson and A. D. Wilkin, of Pittsburg, and H. W. Storey, of Johnstown, and himself, appeared be fore IJiulgo Darker, at Hollidnysburg, Blairjcounty, where the judge was hold ing Bpecittl session In place of Judge Hell, of Blair county, and presented nn appli cation for injunction. After a hearing tbe judge ordered a preliminary Injunc tion to issue and set Thursday, May 3d, at lOo'clocka. in., at Ebensburg, Cambria county, as the time and place to hear argument for the continuanco of the in junction. This prevents tho nuns from teaching In the schools, unless the in junction is dissolved. From n legal stand point land in point of interest to the public, tho contest Is one of much im portance. Iter. Woolston's Lecture. The Illustrated lecture given in the Welsh Baptist church last evening, for the benefit of the English Baptist church, was a success both from a linancial and intellectual standnolnt. Rev. C. II. Woolston,- tho lecturer, is the popular pastor of the East Baptist church of Philadelphia, aud is a most fluent and pleasant speaker. Tho audience that greeted nun nere last evening was a large and attentive one. The large aud highly colored views used by the lecturer are descriptive of the many scenes and in cidents witnessed by him during his ex tensive travels hall way around the globe, and are nmong the best used by tue iamous lecturers in tno country, ine nudlence was well pleased with the oven- ing's entertainment, and the church has realized a neat sum therefrom. At the close of the lecture tho audience ten dered Rev. TYoolston a vote of thanks for his very entertaining nnd instructive lecture nnd n vote of thanks was also tendered the trustees of the Welsh Bap tist church for the uso of tho church. Five Per Cent.

Packor colliery No. 1, Colorado, is on lire and It Is feareil that two men have lost their lives by it. The men supposed to bo dead or doomed are August Loped, aged 27 years, and Seber Pranzey, aged 39. Both men are single and rosido at Lost Creek No. ,2. Packer colliery No. 1 is one of tho oldest operated by tho Lehigh Vnlley Coal Com pany. It is located at Colorado, on tho bouth side of the vnlley west of Shenan doah, and opposite Connors' natch. It was no breaker, its coal being conveyed in cars by small locomotive power to Packer colliery No. 5. Tho colliery had been idle since last Wednesday, but last night five men went into the place to work, two going to ono part and three to another part of tho mine.

The other two men failed to ap pearand up to threo o'clock thlsnfternoou no trace of them had been secured. The colliery oflicials fear tho men have been overcome by tho gases caused by the lire, yet they aro making strenuous olforts to get to tho plsce where the unfortunates are supposed to have been working. These efforts have not been successful. It is generally believed that had tho men sur vived they would havo reached the sur face ere this, by making their way up through some old worltlngs. The lire started in n counter chute in the Mnmmoth vein. The missing men wero supposed to be engaged in the coun ter gangway. Entrance to the mine is made through a drift running east about 1.500 feet. At this noint the slope starts nnd is sunk north 200 feet to the Mam moth vein. At tho foot of the slope is the east nnd -west gangway nnd in the west, about 3,000 feet from the foot of the slope, is the counter chute, where the lire started, and which is driven south, parallel with the slope, a distance of 100 feet to the counter gangway, where the missing men are supposed to have been working. The cnuso of tho fire is not known, hut the officials lenu toward tho theory that it was started by a naked lamp, but they do not ventuie to say who started it. It is lntlmnted thnt it was the lump ot one of the missing men.
