It is supposed ho was struck about an hour before he was found, Tbo victim was removed to tbo homo of bis parents and died shortly aftor arriving there. Both his legs wcro cut off and his body was badly lacerated. KILLED BY SCRAPERS. Xephew of Couucllmnn James Mangled at Gllberton Yesterday. A frightful nccidont occurred at the Gilher tou colliery at about three o'clock yesterday afternoon by which James Thomas, Jr., a bright and industrious boy sixteen years of age, met his death. The deceased was a sou of James Thomas, of Turkey Bun, and nephew of Councilman Jamos, of town. It was tho boy's duty to watch the scraper line and see that coal, or rock, did not get caught in tho lluks. Should he see any such obstructions it was his duty to take them from tho links and prevent the chain from being thrown oil at the "star," or wheel tbat propols the chain. It appears that while the boy was watching tho passing chain ho saw a piece of rock in a link. Ho stooped to take it out and in doing so got close to tho "star," which caught his clothing and dragged him into the scraper trough. It was necossary to cut the lino in three places to get the body out. Death was practically instantaneous. The victim's back was brokon, his abdomon torn open, and almost every bono from the waist up was broken. Tho parents are almost distracted with grief over the accidont. Tho funeral will take placo from the residenco of tho deceased's parents at Turkey Ituu to-morrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. Services will bo conducted at tho houso, commencing at 1:30 p. m. Interment will bo made in tho Odd Follows' cemetery. At Kepcliinskl's Arcade Cufe. Calf's liver and onions to-night. Hot lunch to-morrow morning. Fatal Fall of Coal. Miko Yakonowicz, f.

The body was brought to town aud after the ambulanco mado a tour of tho First ward for about an hour it was learned that the deceased had a wifo and family at 100 South' reach alley, whero tho body was taken.

DEMOCRATS AND THE JUDGESHIP. Several Harries Mentioned in Conneetlon With the Chairmanship The Con vention Was a Quay Gathering In Every Respect Demo cratic Pow-wow. Special IlEBALP correspondence. POTTSVILLK. August 10. Matters political predominated at the county scat this week. The Republican county convention is now a thing of the past. To say that the ticket nominated is a strong one. Individually and collectively, is merely giving expression to public sentiment as I nnd it among thoso who take an interest Hi suoh matters. Tho nomination of Judge Bechtel by the Republicans has caused our friends tho enemy much uneasiness. They felt confident that ho would receive an endorsement Bt tho hands of Monday's con vontion, but they wero not prepared for the step taken by the Republicans in placing Bechtcl's namdupon tho ticket, and leaving them tbo alternative of either endorsing the Republican nominee or nominating some ono elso for the Judgeship. NON-PARTISAN JUPICIARY This places the Democrats In a dilemma, and many of their leaders aro in no way backward In giving expression to their feelings. It is amusing to hear tbo Demo crats criticise tho action of tho Republicans on tbo Judgeship nomination, wheu one considers that their leaders havo for yonrs advocated a non-partisan Judiciary. Now that tho Republicans have paved tbo way to the desired eud. many of them threaten all manner of bad things. Tbo truth of the mattor Is, tho Republicans havo placed Judge Bechtel's party associates in anything but a comfortabio position. Lndcr the pro visions of the amendment to tbo ballot law, the name of a candidate for ollico cannot appear upon more than oue ticket. To re- fuso the Republican nomination, as is hinted at by some of his friends, would placo Judge Bechtel In anything but a favorablo light beforo the people aud would at onco stamp him a partisan Judgo. On the other hand, should ho accept the Republican nomination tho Democrats aro thus forced to content thcmsolvos with a nicro endorsement and go before tho peoplo without a candidate for Judgo, or tako tho other alternative and nomlnato some ono elso for the position. In tbo latter event, which Is not at all probablo, tbo namo of George Wadllnger, Esq., is fre quently mentioned. Ho has a largo follow ing within tho Democratic ranks, and as tho nomlnco of bis party would poll a t.trgo voto Viewing tbo question from a Republican standpoint, tiio representatives of the party did a graceful thing in nominating Judgo Bechtel ; his work upon tho Beucb cutitlos him to an unanimous elcctiou. In conversa tion with a prominent Democrat, it was learned that that party proposes to follow tbo action of tho 'Republican convention and nominate Bechtel. This will place the latter in an embarrassing position. His namo can not appear upon both tickets, and he will havo to decline one nomination, If ho should re fuse to accept tho Republican nomination, the latter will bo forced to tho alternative of filling tho vacancywith somo othor tncmbor of tho Bar, probably another Democrat. Would it not be an interesting campaign with , Wadlingor on tho Republican ticket and Bechtel on tho Democratic? Such may be tbo case, should Bechtel's partisan friends induce him to decline tbo nomination ten dered him by the Republicans. Np matter how you view it, there s trouble ahead for the Democrats over tho Judgeship, and It In creases as the day of tho convention draws nigh. TllE 1'IATFORM. Our friends tho enemy aro worried some what as to what tbclr platform shall contain, or rather what they shall not say. Many are of tbo opinion tbat national issues should be Ignored entirely, while others favor a straddle on tbo financial question. Then there aro those who bclievo tbat tho party should reaffirm Its allcgianco to tho Chicago platform and endorso Bryan as tho nominee In 1000. There is no question but that the frco silvcritos will control the convention, and can do with It as they ploaso. This was made plain in the selection of "Bill" Marr as the county chairman. Whethor the sliver poople will exerciso their power and declare their allegiance to tho white niotal, or will take the advlco of wiser heads and ignore national issuos entirely, is a question to be decided en Monday. It is more than prob able, however, that tho latter fourso will bo adopted. The candidates, at least those I have spoken to, prefer to go before tbo people on a platform dealing with local and state issues. The arrangements are about completed for tho holding of the Democratic convention, in Centennial hall, next Monday, Tho pri maries will be held on Saturday between the hours of 2 and 7 o'clock. In certain locali ties the contests for supremacy promise to be Interesting. So far there are five candidates anuounced for the Shrievalty nomination, Three of these reeldo north of the mountain. V it rrt t in : .. r u t. - 1 , . . t..i. ., 1 T. Qulnn, of Mabanoy City, and Charles Kramer, Ashlaud. Of these the man from the big town is in the lead. This section present the name of John Toolo, of Miners- vllle, and Dr. J. .W. Sallade, of this place. If location Is considered, the latter has a slight advantage. PotUvllle received nothing from the Republican convention, aud many friends of Sallade believe that their favorite could greatly reduce the Re publican majority of the county seat. Hlg gins' defeat three years ago, and his popu larity among the party workers, will mako him a formidable candidate. Sallade and Toole will be olose up among the leaders on tbo first ballot, but jnany are of the opinion that the contest will narrow down to a fight between the Shenandoah man and PotU vllle's favorite. There are quite a number of candidates for Poor Director and Jury Commissioner, but tho main contest Is for Sheriff. Should Higgins lie defeated It is likely that Shenan doah will present the name of M. J. Soanlau as the guardian of the poor, with chances of success greatly in his favor. HKI'UBLICAK UABMOKV. Everything points to Republican harmony in this county. The nominees of the party aro Identified with neither faction, and were the choice of the majority of the delegate In the convention. For this reasou the question as to who will be chosen county chairman is in doubt. Under the rules of the party the chairman of the convention must call the I candidate together within teu days of the convention for the purpose of selecting a county chairman. Several names have been mentioned In this conneetlon. Chairman Edwards is being urged to accept a re-election, but if tendered htm he would likely de cline for reasons best known to himself. John F. Finney is also spoken of In this connee tlon, while the Ashland people are urging George Patterson, recently elected state dele gate. It will be remembered that the latter was a candidate for the position last year. The result of tho state delegate contest, followed closely by Monday's gathering, has resulted in bringing together certalu leaders who were at daggers' point previous to these contests. Tills was made evident on Monday, after the adjournment of the convention, WbB a conference was held lu the parlors of one of PotUvllle's leading hostelrles, aud the whlte-wlnged dove of peaee hovered over the participants. This is asltshuiildbe. If there Is any fighting to be done at this time, the batteries should be directed against the common enemy. It is well enough to have these friendly bouts lor supremacy within party lines ; but in a campaign with the Democracy, the Republican require the as!stauce and support of every member of the party. Let the "bloody war" end. A WAY CONVENTION. It Is amusing to the Initiated to read the articles in the Philadelphia papers ou the re sult of the county convention. The over zealous correspondent make It appear that the anti-Quayltes controlled the convention, while the truth of the matter Is It was lu every sense of the term a Quay gathering. Tho friends of tho Beaver man not only pre dominated, but secured tho passage of res olutions endorsing both Senators Quay and Penrose aud Congressinanlirumm. If the representatives of the party in that assembly woro not friendly to these leaders, they surely would not favor an endorsement such as was given tbem. Schuylkill is' still for Quay, and will remain friendly to the greatest political general for some timo to como. X-Ray, SUDDEN DEATH. Hemorrhage of the Lungs and Heart Failure tho Cause. Last night Dr. J. G. Chnrch was called to a Lithuanian boarding houso on East Centre street, but beforo he could reach tho place tho victim, l-.noch Baronofski, was dead. Dr. Church notified Deputy Coroner Manley aud accompanied hini to tho house. Aftor an examination Dr. Church concluded that death was due to hemorrhage of the lungs and heart failure. The occupants of the houso stated tbat the victim was taken 111 while eating supper nnd expired five min utes after. Baronofski was a bachelor 52 yoars of age. Ho had suffered from hemorrh ages of tho lungs for about seven years and spent somo timo iu tho almshouso at Schuyl kill Haven up to April, last. An inquest will bo held to-night.

CHHUSIiE SUBMITS fl BRIEF Relating; to Dlscrlmlnallnr; Duty on Goods From Foreign Countries. AN ARGUMENT FOR RAILROADS I It is Declared That Pinker tens Will be Placed en Guard, asd Tbat They Will be Supplied With tolling Quns If Necessary. Washington, Aug. 18. Ex-Recretary Carlisle yesterday submitted to Attor ney General McKenna a brief contain ing hi view on section 22 of the new tariff act, relating to the Im,po8ltlon of the 10 per cent discrimlnatTTrg duty on good Imported from foreign countries through contiguous territory. Mr. Car lisle, who represents the Boston and Maine railroad, appeared with former Assistant Secretary Hamlin, represent ing the Associated Board of Trade and the Merchants' association of Boston, before Mr. McKenna last Saturday and submitted oral arguments On the ques tion. Mr. Carlisle contends that there are only three possible constructions of the law. According to the first of these constructions it was designed to en courage American shipping interest by discriminating against goods pro duced In non-contiguous countries and brought Into a contiguous country by vessels not of the United State and thence Imported Into the United States. A very considerable portion of the brief is devoted to a discussion of this proposition. In the course of which the facts in connection with the origin and enactment , of the section as it now stands are stated and commented upon. It Ih shown that the section as It pass ed both houses of congress related only to goods carried In certain classes of vessels, and the conference committee had no right to change Its character, and did not Intend to do so; that It was not understood In either the house or Hie senate, when the conference re port was under consideration, that the purpose of the original section had been changed, and he quotes from the state ments of Senator AlllBon and Mr. Ding- ley, who had charge of the reports, to show that this was the case. He examines the language of the section to show that, even In Its amended form, It still relates exclu sively to goods carried In vessels, and on this hrnnch of the question he con cludes that the act relates to all goods actually Imported In vessels not of the United States nnd not entitled to the benefits of cjSnmerclal treaties, and secondly, to all goods which, being the product of a. non-contiguous country, are imported Into a contiguous coun try in vessels not of the United States, and thence Imported into this country In wholesale quantities. Mr. CarllBk contends that If the foregoing Is not the true meaning of the section as amended then the only other admls sable construction. of the language ot the section Is that the provision was designed to discriminate against the wholesale trade between the people of the United States and the people of Mexico nnd Canada in goodB produced In contiguous countries and imported Into this country from Mexico or Can ada. Ills contention on this point Is that the discriminating duty applies to all goods Imported in vessels not of the United StateB and not entitled to the benefits of treaty stipulations, and sec ondly, to all goods produced In a non contiguous country and thence Im ported Into the United States from a contiguous country in wholesale quan tities, no matter what may have been .the character of the vessel in which they were brought to such contiguous country. According to this construc tion the object of the law was to dis criminate against goods Imported Into Canada and held there In store or In bonded warehouses, to be afterward thrown upon the markets of the Unit ed States In wholesale quantltles.whlcli would make our law as to all these goods conform to the existing law of Canada In relation to tea and green coffee Imported from the United States Into Canada. The third possible construction Is that it Imposes a discriminating duty of 10 per cent upon nil goods, dutiable and free, which are the product of noncontiguous countries, and which merely pass through the territory or Jurisdiction or Mexico or Canada on their way to the United States from their places of departure for the United States. This construction, he Insists, PI Is wholly unreasonable and contrary carried through a contiguous country It would remedy no existing evil; It would Inflict immense Injury upon our railroad and other transportation In terests, without any corresponding oeneflt to the masses of the people, and A'ould undoubtedly provoke retalia ,lon on the part of the Dominion gov ernment.
