Important Piece of News Concerning
Mining Operations.
OBJECT OF WORK AT WADESYILLE
The Shaft Being Sunk at That Place Is Not
an Experiment; But Part of a Flan
to Consolidate Operations
Wlth.Ecech.wood.
Speclnl to Evening. Herald.
Pottsvillk, Sept. 4. A surprising piece
of news lias just leaked out in tho coal circles
of tliis place and will bo very much relished
by tho property owners of Pottsvillo and St.
Clair, especially tho latter place.
For somo time past the Philadelphia &
Reading Coal & Iron Company lias had men
engaged in sinking a big shaft at Wadesvllle,
a suburb of St. Clair, ami those who felt
sulllcicntly interested in tho matter to in
quire as to tho object of tho work wcro in
formed that it was more of an experiment
than anything else and would probably bo
used to re-open some old workings in tho
vicinity to seo if they could be operated
profitably.
Tho Hkkalii'h correspondent is in passoss
ion of an exclusive piece of information
which puts an entirely dill'ereut and much
more interesting and gratifying phase on the
matter.
I am reliably informed that tiio object ill
sinking tho shaft will ho the basis of a boom
to St. Clair and probably revive tho quiet
little town to a stato of activity similar to
that it experienced in its palmiest days.
The shaft is to lie connected with the
Beechwood colliery at Mt. Lalleo by tunnels
and the breaker at tho latter placo is to bo
abandoned for a now, large and modern
breaker which will bo erected at the shaft
now being sunk.
Tho expense of connecting tho two places
will bo considerable aud givo employment to
a largo force of men for some time. The
benefit that St. Clair, Pottsvillo and tho
vicinity will derive from tho change is in
calculable. A property owner of that place,
when informed of the proposed work to-daj
said tho news would cause great lejoicing
there.

The Tent Sen Ices.
Quite a largo audience assembled at tho tent
last evening to hear Evangelist Williams
preach on tho subject of "Sacrificing Unto

address, showing how in these days parents
sacrifico their children to rank, title, society
or position without regard forthcirliappiness;
how children aro sacrificed to sins, that is, led
into sin by their parents, who in after years
look back and bitterly regret their actions.
Rev. Williams will hold services this evening
in tho tent, and to-morrow evening a grand
union meeting of all young peoplo's societies
of every denomination will take place. The

A true bill lias been returned by tho grand
jury against Hon. Charles N. Brumm iu the
assault and battery ease brought by John 4.
White, an omployo of tho almshouse. This

called Brumm a liar during a conversation on

It is claimed that, iu addition to provoking

Special to Kvekixo Herald.
Pottsvillk, Sept. 4. Tho continued ill
ness of Judges Pershing and Wyidman is tho
cause of much restlessness among members
of the bar ami others interested in court
matters. The business of tho court is very
seriously retarded by tho unfortunate situa
tion and many who have heretofore been
most earnest in advocating patience aro now
inclining to the belief that something must
bo done very soon. Tho business of the
couit is drifting far behind. Judges Beehtel
and Savidgo are doing heroic work, but they
aro unable to stem the backward drift in the
face of the rapidly increasing business.
