Says He Is Not After Office,
Xkw York, Nov. D.Tho World says:
JInrk Hannii gnvo Tho World tho follow
ing outline of what ho understood to bo
President-elect McKlnlor's general policy :
"I Imvo hud but rompiirntlrcly brief

tlmo to think over matters, I presume lie
will havo moro details thnn I 0111 at pres
ont nwaro of. Hut this much I know, ho
fools that ho owes much to tho patriotic
Democrats who prefer principle to strict
party tlos. Indiana, for Instance, was un
questionably carried against fusion by
Democratic) votes. Ho also recognizes tho
very groat scrvico performed by Demo
cratic and independent nowspapors dur
ing tho campaign.
"Major SIcICinley will endeavor to seo
collected n groat national party that will
glvo prosperity to tho country. Hooxpects
and hopes that men of all shadosof former
political belief will bo united to this end.
I havo talked with somo of tho most in
fluential of tho old Democratic loaders,
and 1 am glad to say they aro in accord
With llujor McKlnlcy's hopes.
"The llrst movement ho will mako will
bo to obtain sulllcicnt revenue to conduct
tho government. Further issues of bonds
would lie altogether too dangerous, llusl
noss prosperity and stability demand that
as soon as possible tho government should
bo on a paying basis. To this end an oxtra
session of congress will lo nocossary, and
President Mrlvlnloy will undoubtedly call
ono soon after his inauguration.
"Legislation will bo required to secure
tho desired revenue, and Mr. McKlnley
will do everything in his power to secure
It, as well as tho legal establishment of a
policy which will tend to put everybody
at work. In all this ho hopes and oxpocts
that ho wil bo backed by patriotic men,
regardloss of party linos.
"As for myself, I am not after any of
flco, and will endeavor to attend to pri
vate business affairs, which need my per
sonal supervision."
Asked what Domocrats of note ho had
talked with on tho subject of tho future,
Sir. Hanun said:
"I do not wish to namo thorn nil, but I
rany montlon Messrs. W. C. Whitney and
Abrum S, Ilowitt as oxiiinples."

The Jurisdiction of Division Superln-,
Undent Skeath Divided.
PART OF IT TAKEN BY GEO. SCOTT.
The Latter Will Personally Suprviso All
Expect tho Collieries In and About
Mahanoy City, and Superintend
ent EroughaU's District.
No little surprise was occasioned tn-dnv
when It became known that Mr. lieorec Scott
had assumed personal chargoof a part of the
ilivision under t lie Philadelphia &. Heading
Coal & lion Company heretofore under the
supervision of Division Superintendent John
Skeath, of Mahanoy City. The nows led to
rumors of various kinds; some to tho elici t
that thero would lie changes In district
suporintendonries, etc., but they are ap
parently groundless and the only choline
mado is that hereafter Mr. Scott will per
sonally supervise the operations at the col
lieries of the company in tho Hillierton and
this valleys from Yatesville to Ashland, with
tho exception of Superintendent llrouglmll's
dUtrict.atid Division Superintendent Shrelllcr
will contimio in charge west of Ashland.
The chango In no wisn affects tho jurisdic
tions of any of tho district superintendents.
It means simply that hereafter the olllcials.
in the Shenandoah part of tho division will
be uniler the jurisdiction of Mr. Scott, instead
of Mr. Skeath. Very little lias been said
concerning tho change. In fact it was mado
several days ago and has been regarded tnoro
or less as a secret. It appears that the work
of combining and enlarging the workings of
tho collieries In and about Mahanoy City and
along tho (iilliertou Valley has given
Division Superintendent Skeath so much to
do that it has been wise to relieve him of tho
Shenandoah part of the division and here
after he will devote his tlmo solely to the
Mahanoy and M. Nicholas districts, which
are still very large, and Mr. Scott wil) devoto
his attention to tho other in addition to his
duties as assistant general superintendent.
Tho now division superintendent is hy no
means a stranger to the miners of this region.
In fact few nien have been inmo imminent
in active mine work than ho has. He was
first foreman at Mt. La'tley and was then
transferred to the Knickerbocker colliery.
Subsequently he was made district superin
tendent in the St. Nicholas district and re
signed that position to become general super
intendent for tho I.ohigli ,t W'llkosliarre (.'oil
Company, with hcadquaiters at WilkcsUirro.
Mr. Scott held this position until he became
associated with lion. C. 1". King and with
him took and completed tho contract for
diking the gloat Jcddo tunnel, one of the
finest specimens of tunnel work over ac
complished in this country. The firm sub
sequently conducted considerable tunnel
work in the vicinity of Mt. ("armcl until
several months ago, when Mr. Scott boranio
assi-taul mining superintendent for the 1". it

Ashland, Nov. 0. Thomas Devine, who
Is employed as a mii'so at the Miners' hospi
tal, tells of a thrilling experience lie had
while driving between Fountain Springs and
I'rackvillo Saturday night. Ho says two men
jumped from the sido of tho read.
One caught hold of tho horse's bridle
and the other attempted to get into the
buggy. Devino whipped out a revolver
and fired several shots, after which lie
whipped up his horse and left the men be
hind. Ho says ho is confident that one or
more shuts hit each of tho men. Vesterilay
ho appeared heforo Justico Horn, at Foun
tain Springs, prepared to enter hail, hut as
neither of the alleged wounded men had
appeared, or prosecuted, Doviuo was paroled.
