F. E. Co.. No. 1 Shenandoah, 1A., April 7, 1807. Our attention has been directed to an address by the trustees of the Rescue Hook and Ladder Co. "No. 1, of Shenandoah, published In the Issuo-of the Herald of yesterday. It contains some reflections on the action of the trustees of this company which we think should not be permitted to pass without correction, or at least oxplana tion. The statement in question contains only partial truth o remnant so to speak. It Is true, as stated, that for several years tho Itescue Hook and Ladder Company ami Columbia II. & S. F. E. Co. havo been sprinkling the streets of tho borough on n cO'Opcrntlvo plan and dividing tho collections equally. And so long as the collections were divided (pi illy, the Columbia II. ft S. F. E. Co. wrre satisfied with the arrangement and it was adhered to faithfully. Last December at a period of vory dusty aud windy weather tho sprinklers of both companies went into service, tho trustees of the Rescue 11. A I,. Co. made the collections but no portion of the same was paid or tendered to this com pany nor has been to this date. We have 110 confidence in "a co-operative plan and divid ing the collections equally" that does not co operate a little bit in our direction. As to the chargo that the Columbia sprinkler gave Inferior services we wish to say that tho old sprinkler discharged as much water and covered as much territory as tbe largo 000 gallon sprinkler purchased only last summor by tho Rescue Hook & Ladder Co.; before that the inferior service was furnished by that company. Wo havo 110 desire to enter into a controversy on this subject with the Rescue Hook & Ladder Co., or another. It is not a matter of much importance to tlio iiiblic as long as it receives good services at reasonable rates, but as wo servo tho public we thought tho above statement should bo mado to correct any wrong impressions that may havo been made in the statement of tho Rescue Hook & Ladder Co., Ko, 1. We havo purchased a new and superior sprinkler which is now in active servlep and wo aroablo to servo our patrons to their and our satisfaction. Witli gratitude for past favors wo remain, Respectfully, ' W. J. Evans, Chairman. - J. L. l'LATT, Soe'y. W. J. Stetler, J. U. Temtest, Jos. Rosen.

A distressing Accident occurred at about eight o'clock last evening on the Lehigh Valley railroad, and near a place In tbe eastern outskirts! of tbe borough known as the "red bridge," Tbe victim was Leopold Ileuecke, aged about 81 years, and a jeweler. He fellbeneath a freight train and thirty-four cars ptsed over his left arm and leg. J Ileneeke rentoq part of tho storeroom at 110 South Mala street in which A. P. Smith conduct an oyster saloon. Tho place has two Urge show windows. In one Ileneeke made a display ot a small stock of second hand watches and other articles in the jewelry line. Ittneake was employed for seme tlmo by Iktuikln, the jeweler, before embarking In business for himself. At about four o'clock yesterday afternoon Ileneeke told Smith, the oSsterman, that he had con eluded to give up Business and go to Ashland, where a position qVaited him. Ileneeke was not seen by his friends until his mangled form was picked up on the railroad. There are two stories of just how the accident occurred. Ileneeke stated while receiving attendance from the doctors that he jumped on tho freight train at the Lehigh Valley station with the intention of getting a free, ride to Now York, ns he was without sufHcient money to my Ma fare; that when the train was passing under the red bridge one of several men who were also stealing a ride on tho train shouted, "Lookout for tho police 1" and be jumped from tho train; as he did so his body struck ono of the abutments of the bridge and throw him olose to the ral on his back, so that his arm and leg extended under the train. The crew or the freight train assert that the un fortunate young man attempted to Imard the train at the red bridge." The train was going at a fast speed at the time aud lknecke slip ped and fell to the ground. The train by which the victim was mangled was the Empire freight No. 532, east bound. When the accident was discovered word was .sent back to tho Lehigh Valley station and mi empty engine standing there was sent to tho scene. Ileneeke was picked up and taken to the station, where Drs. Q. M. Hamilton nnd W, N. Stein made an examination and found tho arm hopelessly cruahed from the shoulder to elbow and the leg in a similar stato from tho kuce too point Just above the ankle. Tho doctors tomporarily dressed the injuries and tho victim was then taken to Ashland on the engine that had brought him from tho bridge. At Ashland nn ambulance was n waiting to take tiio un fortunate to the Miners' hospital at Fouutain Springs, whore he died at three o'clock this morning after the arm had been amputated at tho shoulder joint and the leg at tho middle of JIio thigh. Dr. Iliddlo says death was due to shock following tho amputations, but that tho injuries themselves were of a fatal char acter, Ileneeke was perfectly conscious while being attended nt the Lehigh Vally depot and spoko freely to Rev. John Guilder, pastor of tho German Lutheran, church, who had been summoned. Ileneeke said he was about 2-1 years of age, had no relatives In this country, and that his parents reside in Berlin, Gormany. Ho asked Rev. Gruhler that his parenti bo notified In ease he should die and papers giving their address would be found in his trunk, which he had left at Smith's oyster saloon. Ho stated that he had been unfortunate in business and had In tended going to New York to look for work. Conductor Ford, who had charge of the engine upon which the victim was taken to the station and Ashland, says Unit Ileneeke toll hjiu lip had a sum of money concealed )n his shoes. Smith, the oyster man, fays there must bo a mistake about this and that if Ilonecko had any money it did not amount to more than $1.20. Mr. Iliddlo telephoned iu answer to an inquiry from tho HnnALU to-day that when licnecke's clothing was searched at the hospital only $1.10 was found lu tho plothlng apd no monoy was found in tlio shoes. DEMOCRATS CARRY 0HI0AOO. Onrtei'Itarrlcon itnd Move VntsTltnn All Other Candldnten Combined. Chicago, April 7. The mayoralty lection yesterday resulted In a decis ive victory for the Democratic party. Its candidate. Carter Harrison, having more votes than all the other candi dates combined. He defeated Bears by from f.6,000 to 90,000 votes, in the pres idential eleotlon McKlnley had 69,998 plurality over Bryan. Several wards always strongly Republican were car ried by Harrison. The feature of the election was the strength shown by Harlan. He ran second to Harrison, and although an Independent, with no organisation be hind htm, he secured more votes than the regular Republican candidate, Judge Nathaniel Bears. One thing that helped Harlan greatly was that Sears was looked upon as being the nominee of tha Republican machine, which has grown unpopular In the ranks of the local Republican party. Harlan secur ed a heavy vote from men who would have voted for the regular Republi can nominee had It not been that they wished to express their opinion of the machine. He drew some votea from the Democratic party, but not many. The vote for Hesslng was largely from the Germans, and came from both parties. He ws the nominee of the gold Democrats, although he went be fore the people on a business man's platform. The result was never much In doubt, although Harlan, Sears and Hesslng all claimed that they could not be beaten. The campaign waa fought for the most part on strictly local Is sues, although the Democrats had a silver plank In the platform. Republicans Lend In WJnconMln. Milwaukee, April 7.

TURKS JKUST SETTLE UP I The Administration HM tired of the Stilton's Many Delays. MR. FOSTER FOR AMBASSADORS ! Th President Will Ask For Power to Seed the Ex-Premier to Deal With the Turks and Compel a Prompt Settlement of All Bx lstlnr Claims. Washington, April 7. The adoption of a vigorous policy to secure from the Turkish government a settlement of the claims preferred by the United States on account ot the destruction of American missionary property and outrages to American missionaries committed during the uprising against the Armenians In the fall of 1896 Is being considered by the new adminis tration, and probably will be put Into operation soon. President McKlnley's program contemplates the sending to Constantinople of Hon. John W. Poster, former secretary of state, as a special envoy, with the rank of ambassador, to seoure from the sultan the pay ment of the claims which have been filed, and the speedy trial of those American clttsens against whom charges have been made by Turkish officials. The president probably will send to congress a message recommending that authority be given him to com mission a special ambassador to Tur key for this purpose, and while no name will be proposed by the mes sage Mr, Foster will be entrusted with the mission in the event that congress gives to the president the power which hu desires. Mr. Foster lias already been asked to undertake the mission, and, although. he was at first reluctant to accept It, he finally consented to do so on certain oonditlons.

MSTW YORK parties who have been consulted President McKlnley and Secretary Sherman discussed the unsatisfactory policy ot the Turkish government touching American claims soon after the administration came Into power. It was suggested first that the repre sentative of the United States be raised to the rank of ambasador, and Mr. Foster be given the olllce, but this proposition had several drawbacks, one of them that a mission once advanced to aftnbassadorinl ranks could not well be reduced afterwards. Moreover, Mr, Foster did not care to accept, such qn office. Under the proposed arrangement Mr. Foster may be sent to TiU'Hey when the resignation of Minister Terrlll Is ac cepted, to serve there as envoy extra ordinary, with the rank of ambassador. until his work haB been performed, and then rive place to the minister who will be Appointed as Mr. Terrlll's successor. No reflection upon the abil ities of Minister Terrlll will be In volved in this plan, for any representa tive with the rank of minister works under a heavy handicap at a capital where all tho large powers and sev eral of the smaller ones are represented by ambassadors. Several questions are at Issue be tween the United States and Turkey as a result ot the Armenian troubles. Claims 'amounting, to $150,000 have been presented to Minister Terrlll on ac count of the damages dope to the Ku- pnrales college at llarpoot, which Is the property of the American board ot foreign missions, to the Marash Theo logical seminary and the residence of an American mlslonary at Hasquey, a suburb of Constantinople. Remonstrances have been made on account of the treatment of Ilev. G. P. Knapp, an American missionary, who was stationed at Bitlls and was ex pelled from the Turkish empire on n charge of inciting Armenians to re bellion. Mr. Knapp has been unable to secure admittance to Turkey or to secure a trial, although It la claimed that his banishment without trial Is In Violation of treaty rights. The de portation ot another missionary work ing for the American board, Mr. Mc Callum, was admitted at the time Mr. Knapp was deported, but when Sir Philip Currle, the BrltlBh ambassador, learned that he was a citizen of Can ada he made such vigorous representa tions to the sublime porte that the missionary was escorted back to his post. Mr. Knapp Is now waiting In Berlin for permission to return. Simi lar charges to those agaliiBt him were preferred against other missionaries, who were not expelled, but they have not been brought to trial. The sultan has refused to recognise Messrs. Bergholz and Hunter, who two years ago were sent by the United States as consuls to Erzroum and llar poot. They reached their posts after some trouble, but being unable to se cure recognition or perform their duty as consuls they withdrew, and a few months afterward occurred the dis turbances at Harpoot In which the American college was looted and prop, erty worth 1100,000 destroyed. Mr. BergUoIg has since returned to Eri roum. but has not been recognised. No apology or explanation has been of fered, nor any redress given for any of these acts. President Cleveland and Secretary Olney at one time considered the advisability of blockading the port of Smvrna tq secure redress, but abandoned the idea, partly because the revenues of the custom house were mortgaged to European governments. The new administration desires to se cure the payment of the claims tor damages referred to by Mr. Terrlll, to secure trials for Mr. Knapp and other Americans against whom charges have been made, to gain permission for Mr. Knapp to return to his post, and to have the consuls who have been ac credited to Turkish cities recognised.
