Thomas W. Mltclioll, fourtecu years olil, lies dead at his home hi Hoston Ilun, having been killed by the Philadelphia express train on tho Philadelphia and Heading rail, road, and within eight of hU home, at about eight o'clock last night. A companion of about tho samo ago named Lyons hid a narrow escape from death at the name tluio. Tho victim was a son of William Mitchell, for years a resident of Boston Run. The victim and Lyons had been visltiiig the dredgery nearby and were on their way home. They got as far as Wiggans when a freight train pasted south. As tho last ear went by the boys crossed the track and stepped In front of the oxproes train, northbound. Lyons made a sudden leap and escaped, but Mitchell was struck. He was ricked up unconscious and died soon after. A small cut ou the back of the head and another on tho left lido of thebody were the only marks of Injury that could be found. It is stated tbat.death was due to shock. 1 UNEXPECTED JSUCCESS. The JUT. K. Church Social and Entertain ment Attracted Crowds. Tho social and entertainment of the Methodist Episcopal church choir was so well patronized last evening that tho lecture room of the church with the clats rooms added did not furnish sufficient room for the largo crowd which gathered to enjoy tho pleasures of the hour, Tho patrons will ingly accepted the situation and at the re quest of the pastor found accommodations in tho largo auditorium of tho church. The entertainment was an oxccllcnt one the musical part of tho program being especially fine. Refreshments wero served after tho following program had been rendered: Part I. Gleo, "Softly Falls tho Shades of Evening," choir ; solo, "The Holy City," Miss Maud Gilpin; duett, "There's a Sigh in tho Heart," Misses Minnie and Eva Powell ; recitation, "No Sect in Heaven," Miss Anna lloebner; quartetto, "Consider the LI I lie," Messrs.

Shenandoah slakes a flood Showing Tor tho Republican Candhtutes, Tho mathematician of the Pottsvllle Re publican gives a very plausible statement of where the losses in votes occurred on Tues day last, which looks all right until you analyze it Then its weakness Is so glaring that It becomes apparent that tho mathema tician would like' to put somo one in a holo, to uso a colloquial term. We have neither the tlmo nor tho spano to call attention to any but tho ttllogod loss of 343 votes which ha charges to Shcnaudoah, and which, after a most diligent search, we have been unahlo to locate. According to the returns Shenandoah cast 1773 votes for Orphans Court Judgo in 1803, of which Lyon received 729 and Dunn 1010, while on Tues day Albright received 031 and Toole 1100 and I'ayno 15, a total of 1745. As tho volo tills year was 30 less than two years ago and Albright ran 1)8 votes behind Lyon, the loss to tho Republican party In this town can bo charged against us as 03, Just 373 less than tho Republican's mathematician too generously charges us with. Again, taking the figures by wards, Al bright's vote showed a loss as compared with Lyon's, of 0 In tho First ward, 15 in the Third, and 30 in the Fourth and 40 in the Fifth, while in the Second Albright rccoived 11 more thau Lyou. As Toole and his supporters counted upon 600 to 700 majority for him, Shenandoah is .entitled to credit for keeping the majority as low as t was, instead of having jnggled-up flgures pierced to us. While all the Repub lican tow ns In tle pounty show a large slump In the .rote Hlionanrfoali suouUl bo giyen proper credit Instead of being hold up as an example and to let out snarl at the followers or Senator quay.

PERSISTED GHEDITOHS The Cases Against Tabor and Szydlow ski Drag: Along-. TIME AND MONEY NO OBJECT. Counsel For the Creditors Bring the- Lines of Examination Down to Fine Points. Even Sausages Are Dissected, Figuratively, In the Search For t roof of Fronts. As a fountain of news the cases ef Armour Sc Co., Swift & Co., etc, against Chief Bur gess Tabor and Mrs. Justyna Ssydlowski havo about run dry, although the suits aro still dragging along and witnesses are being examined at Intervals of five or six days In behalf of the creditors. Disinterested parties who have been giving tho case occasional attention seem to agreo in tho opinion that, while the creditors have not succeeded in unearthing sufficient evi dence to sustain their attachments on tho property Tabor sold to Mrs. Szydiowski, they havo made a display that should bo ac cepted as an example by people havlug deal ings with tho companies who aro tho creditors in tho cases, It Is quite evident that tho creditors intend to turn up side down everything they can get hold of to see that the sale mado by Tabor was as he declares it war, bona fldo. And in doing this hundreds of dollars aro being spont, with the promise of an expenditure of much more, as the counsel for tho creditors havo declared the intention of pushing tho inves tigation to Baltimore and other places. A gentleman who has been watching tho cases through curiosity remarked yesterday that it wus quite evident that if tho beef trusts should lose $10,000 or $20,000 they cau aflord to spend as much more in efforts tu prove fraud or bring about somo turn in their favor. Nearly the entire session yesterday was taken up in tho examination of Mrs. Szyd lowski's husband and ho was required to pro duce all his bills and books to show every purchase and salo he mado during tho month of last November and give the proflt ho mado on each sale. The object of this examination, the counsel for creditors stated, was to uso the figures to how that Szydiowski could not havo mado as much money iu this town as ho claimed, and that Mrs. Szydiowski did not havo suf ficient mony with which to buy out Tabor. The examination was directed to the most minute dotail. For instaupe, ho was asked a string of quostlons similar to thei What did that meat cost? How many pounds of sausago did it mako? Whatdid these casings cost? What did tho peppor and spices. Ac, you put In It cost? How much did you sell it for? How much watto was there?

At the last meeting of the Borough Coun oil rVerence was made t the law requiring tax tbllectnrs tri make monthly returns of theireollertlnns and n member of Council raised the point that the law wm Inoperative so flit as Tax Collector Burke was concerned, because it was passed after Mr. Burke was electtd aud the law would bo retroactive in his DMe should an attempt be made to en forotlt. If this view is correct the new law will be a nutilty for at least three years, so far as this Dorotmh and others that made elections of tat collectors last spring are concerned. But (here are many people who claim that Mr. Bnrko comes within the provisions of tho law because be did not get Ills duplicate and actually enter upon the performance of his duties nntil after the law was passed and approved by the Governor. Tho approval was made on Jnly 0th, 1897. Tho question is more important than It ap pears at first glance. Should any complica tions arise at any tlmo between the collector's bondsmen and the borough, tho latter would perbabs forfeit oonsldcrabio should it bo Shown that the new law was applicable to the collector and the borough had failed to requlrp tho monthly settlements to be made. For tills reason, if for no other, It Is quite likely that the Borough Council will try to have the question settled at as early a date as possible. The new law referred to Is as follows : "Be It enacted, 4c That tho tax collectors of the several boroughs and townships of this Commonwealth, elected pursuant to tho provisions of an act of Assembly, entitled 'An act to autborlzo tho olection of tax collectors for the term of three years In tho several boroughs and townships of this Comnionwoalth," approved tho sixth day of Juno, Anuo Domini one thousand olght hun dred and ninety-thrco, and all other tax collectors of state, county, township, road, schooland borough taxes.clectcd orappoiuted by or under existing law, shall hereafter raakotnontbly returns in writing to the sev eral persons to whom the tax collected by said tax collector is by law required to bo paid, Showing the amounts collected by them during the preceding month, and the amount of uncollected taxes upon their respective duplicates, or exhibit the duplicate showing tho Baid uncollected raxoa. at thn rlmtA nf each month during their respectivo terms of oiuco, anu snail pay over to tua said persons to whom by law tho said taxes aro mado payable, the amount so collected by such tax collectors, monthly, less the commission or fees to which they are by law entitled for tho collection of tho same : Provided, That in the ease of collectors of borough taxes, they shall also bo required to fllo with tho councils of their respoctivo boroughs, dupli cate returns for tho taxes collected monthly by them as aforesaid, and duplicate rocclpta from tho respectivo borough treasurers for tho amount 60 paid over totbem.

SEVEN REVOLUTIONARY WIDOWS ! And the Daughters of Nine Revolutionary Soldiers Still on the Rolls-Durlng Fast Year SO, 101 New Pension ers Were Added-1,971 Restored. Washington, Nov. C The first an nual report of Commissioner of Pen sions II. Clay HvHna was made public yesterday. A summary follows: There were added to the rolls dur ing the year the names of 60,101 new pensioners, and there were restored to the rolls 3,971 pensioners who had been previously dropped, a total of 64,072. During the same period the losses to the roll were 31,960 by death, 1,074 by remarriage of widows and mothers, 1,345 by legal limitations (mi nors), 2.CS3 for failure to claim pen sion for three years, and 3,560 for other causes, an aggregate of 41,122. The whole number of pensioners on the rolls June 30, 1807, was 976,014. The net gain over the previous year was 5,336. It will thus be seen that the pension roll has not yet begun to show any diminution, though It has been an ticipated by former commissioners that such would be the fact. Seven widows of revolutionary sol diers and nine daughters ot revolution ary soldiers are still on the rolls. Dur ing the year 91,454 pension certificates were Issued, ot which number 50,101 were original allowances and the bal ance Were reissues, Increases, restora tions, renewals, etc. Of this number 14,671 certificates of various classes were held In this bureau until July 1, 1897, and are accordingly not credited to the past fiscal year. During the same period 76,234 claims of various classes were disallowed. This number, however, does not In clude claims which were made for higher rates of pension. The amount disbursed for pensions hy the pension agents during the year was $133,789,242.12, and the amount dis bursed by the treasury settlement was J150.476.23, a total of $139,949,717.36. This exceeds the amount disbursed during tho fiscal year 1896 by the sum of $1,. 584,480.18. If the 14,071 certlllcates which, as before stated, were held In this bureau until July 1, 1S97, had been mailed to the pension agents during the fiscal year they would have re quired first payments amounting to $2,191,694, besides the additional annual value, which would also have been ij. charge upon the appropriation. This" amount, added to that actually dis bursed, makes an aggregate of $111, 990,936. The appropriation for the. pay ment of pensions for the fiscal year 1897 was only $140,000,000, The commissioner says: "I am still pf the opinion that the reduction and. consolidation of the pension agencies at this time Is not only unnecessary, but Inexpedient." In conclusion, the report recommends the publication of a, complete list of pensioners and the passage of a law to the end that no pension bo granted to the widow of any soldier that shall marry hereafter.
