CORONER'S
INQUEST.
The Donavan and Saroko Cases
Investigated Last Night.
VERDICTS OF THE JURY !
The Crew of the Train That Killed
Saroko Is Exonerated From Blame
For the Death.
Deputy Coroner Manley nnd a Jury
composed of P. J. Monnghan, John Scan
lan, Jataes Dovltt, Harry Hellly, Patrick
Connors and J, 11. Stanley Inst night held
Inquests on the bodies of James Donavan,
who was killed In the Shenandoah City
colliery ou Friday, and Andrew Saroko,
who met his death on tho Lehigh Valley
railroad yesterday morning.
In the Donavan case tho testimony was
brief and the particulars adduced were
substantially as reported by the HERALD
Friday evening, that the ploce of coal
which killed the man had been pried
about two hours before it fell and could
not be dislodged. It fell without warn
ing while Donavan was .under It loading n
buggy.
After a short deliberation tho jury ren
dered a verdict finding" that the deceased
"came to his death by n fall of coal in a
breast at tho Sheuaudoah City colliery,
and was accidental."
The Jury then proceeded to consider tho
Saroko case and examined Edward Ford,
Benjamin Waters and Zacharlah Guldner,
the conductor, engineer and fireman of
the train that struck the man.
Tho most material evidence was that of
the engineer, who testified that when the
train was about sixty yards distant Saroko
stood on the westbound track and was
talking to a man who stood on the em
bankment. Tho train was approaching
on the eastbonnd track. The whistle
was blown and other precantions were
taken by the engineer, but when the train
was about six feet away the deceased
stepped forward to the eastbound track
andimmediately In front of the engine
Almost at the same moment the man was
struck and hurled down an embankment.
The jury concluded that "death-,wjH
caused by being struck on the Lehigh
Valley railroad by engine. No. 341 draw-
ing a passenger train, and was accidental."

THE PUBLIC
WATER WORKS
Contract For the Boiler and Engine
House Again Awarded.
NEW BIDS WERE PUT IN !
The Reason Why the Men Who First
Got the Contract Threw It Up Coun
cllmanlc Trip To-morrow.
The Borough Council is holding meet
lugs with a frequency that disgusts and
tires many of the members and has caused
Clerk Cardlu to threaten to strike for
more wages. The meetings are averaging
two n week and if the water works are
not soon completed there will ben general
kick against the time which Is required
to attend to the nffiilrj in connection with
them.
The meeting last night was a special
one to reconsider the uwnrdlng of the con
tract for the orectlon of tho boiler and en
gine house at the Brandonvlllo reservoir.
Messrs. Llngham & Morris were awarded
the contract on n bid of $2,3-10, but threw
It up because they discovered a mistake
had been made in the estimated cost of
material.
Under instructions of Council now bids
were naked for and they were opened last
night. Tho Shenandoah Feed and Lum
ber Company bed $2,090 and got tho con
tract. Jesse B. Davis bid $2,623 and Burns
and Schoppo $2,900.
Contractor William McAdams presented
n bond In the sum of $5,000 ns a guarantee
that the work Mr. McAdams la doing nt
the storage resei voir will be satisfactory
and the bond waB approved. The Safe
Deposit Bank of Pottsville Is the Burety
on the bond.
Mr. McAdams nt the same time stated
that the repairs to the breastwork of the
Davis' Run reservoir had been completed
and to-morrow the Councllmen will pro
ceed to the place in carriages and Inspect
the work. Mr. McAdams' bill of $8,000
for work done on tho reservoirs during
the past month was pald.l
Turtle Soup at McElhenny's.
Mine Host McElhenny will tc night
serve another of his excellent free lunches
at his cafe. This time turtle soup will be
served. The public Is cordially invited to
partake of the spread. There will be
abundance for all.
Is There a Nigger In It ?
There is considerable rather unpleasant
comment concerning recont developments
In connection with tho public water works.
There is an ominous smoldering which
will begin to blaze beforo many days pass
One thing which is subjected to severe
comment is tho action of the Borough
Council in hiring two men nt $2 per day
to paint the steel pipe connecting the
storage reservoir nt Fowler's Run with
the pumping station at Brandouville. It
is claimed that the work Is of n most
ordinary charnoter and that $1.60
a day for each man would have
been reasonable wages. Another
tiling which was commented upon
to some extent on the streets to-day was
the contract to erect the boiler and engine
house. The excuse given by the parties
who threw up the contract seems plaust
hie. They say they depended for prices
uponjthe statement of a man from whom
they Intended to purchase- materials and
were misled, therefore they could not do
the work at the prico they bid, but what
gives spirit to the comments Is that these
people did not put In n second bid aud
left the field open to the lumber company,
and the work will cost just $350 more,
It Is alleged with some force that all the
people who put In bids for the work orig
inally are connected directly or indirectly
with the company that now has the con
tract, nnd that the calling for bids Is more
a matter nt farcical form than anything
else. It Is not alleged that there is any
thing crooked in the business. The
matter is discussed from n point
of view that the borough is not
getting somo of the work on
the water works ns cheap as It ought to
when It asks for bids, and that the split
ting up of forces to coutend with outside
bidders who might come in Is not exactly
n plan which benefits the taxpayer.

THE DISCIPLINE.
Latitude of the Eshcr-Bowmanlte Clergy
Powers.
Editor Herald: In a recent Interview
with a reporter of your paper Rev. New
hart, of Pottsville, said the present ad
herents ot Bishop Dubs could remain in
or be reinstated to the Evangelical
Association upon submitting to the dis
cipline. Now will you favor many renders
of your pnper by publishing the following
extracts which concisely set forth what
this discipline Is :
"Tho Board of Bishops, composed o.' all
the bishops qualified to act as such, shall
have power to determine, by n majority
voto of the entire board, all dlspt ted
questions of our Church law, especially
as to the interpretation of Discipline, and
such interpretation shall thereafter be
binding upon all preachers and members
ol our Church lu the intervals of General
Conference." Eshor-Bowman Disc. p. 75.
"Under our Discipline overy preacher
in charge is bound to enforce Its provisions
within his own charge. The Discipline,
specifies dissension ns cause for expulsion.
Every pastor is bound to wntch over his
people as a shepherd over his flock. He la
not a mere- judicial officer, who oau take
no official note of offences, tare when others
bring the matter to his attention, but It Is
the plain disciplinary duty of the preacher
in-chnrge, having reliable Information of
nuy person guilty of such conduct, to
erase the name of such person from the
roll of membership, unless ho resume.
with due sincerity, his allegiance to tha
Church, Its doctrines nnd Its constituted
authorities within a reasonable period.
Such conduct does Itself constitute a
secession from the Church, nnd every onB
thus reported on the roll of membership
shnll be considered ns having Irregularly
withdrawn from the Church, due notice
whereof shall be given by public an
nouncement nt the usual place of public
worship. Should any person thus marked
npply to the preacher In chnrge for read
mission, his restoration shnll be left to
the discretion of the preacher In charge."
Indianapolis Conf. Jour. p. 127.
These sections give to Bishops and
preachers absolute power over the mem
bers of the Church. Their discretion U
the only nuthorlty to be consulted. J. J.
Kslier sought this power for more thnn a
score of years. To this ambition of his
and the political methods used by him the
disruption in the Evangelical Association
is due. This is the Issue. X.
