Altoona, Pa., Nov. 23. The conven
tion of the bituminous miners ot Penn
sylvania, which began here today, for
the purpose of forming a state organ
ization, promises to be the most im
portant meeting the miners have ever
held in this state. A large delegation
from the Pittsburg district arrived last
evening. The district officers, Presi

George Harris are in charge of the del
egation. National President M. u.
natchford is also here. He will likely
be asked to preside at the convention.
District President Dolan Is enthusias
tic over the movement. His recent
tour among the miners In the central
coal fields convinced him that a strong
and powerful organization can be
formed. The great benefit of unionism
was brought out during the recent na
tional suspension. With a good organ'

PRINCIPAL QALLAQUICR.
The star witness of the day was James V.
Gallagher, supervising principal of the Lost
Creek schools, and his testimony put more
ginger Into the case than It has thus far had.
Mr. Gallagher was called to the witness stand
by Mr. Whalen and the volley of questions
went off In this style :
Mr. Gallagher, you are a teacher at the
schools In Lost Creek T
Yes. sir.
What was your salary in 1805?
875 per month.
wi
bat was it for 18&1.

Never mind vour understanding lint an
swer the question what was your monthly
pnyr wnaiuiu you receive 7
Mr. Wadlingor objected to the witness be
ing pressed in Mr. Whalen's way and the
latter replied that he proposed to show that,
under the 00th count in tbo IndictniRnt.
James F. Gallagher, one of the teachers of
the West Mahanoy Township school district,
was employed to teach the High school at
Lost Creek at $00 per month and that he was
paid $150 in addition to that without any
warrant at law, or right upon the School
Board, making tho total ainnunr. rurfiiv!
$870.
Messrs. Wadllniror anil Marr 1ii!1m1 nnnn

At tho beginning of the term I nnnoared
before tho School Board meeting - and told
them that the schoo and the duties con
nected with it were nover dono for loss than
$75 and that I would not do it for loss, and
they gave mo to understand that it was an
oversight to write $00 aftor my name in the
ongiuai motion, and tnac tney would make
my salary averago $75; and with that under
standing I took tho work.
Uon't you know that you bad no under-

of tho term.
Why didn't you got your pay every month?

I received orders for 160. but I knew mv

tno enu oi ino term. ,
Mr. Whalen continued his examination on
this subject for some time and finallv turned
tho wituoss over to Mr. Wadliuger for cross-
examination, wuicu consumed much I
timo than the direct. The witness said lie
had been teaching soliool for fifteen yean
and principal of the Lost Creek school about
eloven yean. The salary of the sohosl has
nover been loss than $75 per month, and
sometimes more. His predecessor was M. F
Gallagher, who received more than $75 and
that gentleman s predecessor was A. J. Gal
lacher. who got a salary of 190.
It is alleged in the indictment that you re-
oeiveu MTU mat year, did you receive It ?
No, sir.
What was the amount you received ?
$750 less deductions fur time lost, except u
to the institute orden.
Finally Mr. Whalen got the witness in
hand again. "You are a kind of right baud
man for the School Board 1" he asked, and
Mr. Gallagher answered that it was necessary,
in the pursuit of his duties, for him to attend
the Board meetings.
Then Mr. Whalen atenned unon the around
which has been a topic of more or less discus
sion since tbe township cases have been iu
court, it not herore.
Did you get an order for attending the
county institute in invoi asxeu the lawyer
res, sir, me witness promptly replied.
How much wrs it?
Ton dollars.
What became of tlutt order?
At thift-polut both Messrs. Wadliuger and
Marr were upon their feet with objections.
At tint Judge Bucbtel was liiolliitd to sus
tain them, but Mr. Whalen, iu his quiet
yet forcible way argued that while the
count in tbe indictment sets forth that
the witness had received ten dollars
for attendance at county institute he did not
attend at all, the lines should not be drawn
too close and that if the Commonwealth
could prove that the Board Issued institute
orden, knowing that the teaohen would not
gut the benefit of the money, but that It
would come back to a fund for tbe benefit of
the directors themselves, such proof should
be admitted. Judge Bechtel said that was

Limited Divorce.
PAID FINES FOR MISDEMEANORS.
Her Husband "Ineeulftted'Her With Ideas
Not la Accordance With Modern Civili
zation, and Made Her Married Life
One of Self Bffaoement."
Washington, Nov. 28. Elisabeth L.
Smiley commenced proceedings here
yesterday for a limited divorce from
Charles W. Smiley. They were mar
ried In this city In 1890. Mrs. Smiley
alleges that they are first cousins, de
clares that some time previous to theli
marriage her husband "Inoculated liei
with Ideas not in accordance with mod
ern civilisation, and such was the in
fluence the defendant gained over her,
that she saw .things only In the light
In which he presented them to her,
rarely exercising; her own Judgment,
so much so that she would put In writ
ing requests to him to do many things
utterly at variance with common sense,
and admissions as to her conduct," and
that he even made her believe It was a
favor to take sums of her money nnd
Invest it in his name.
Continuing the petition recites "that
he has made her married life one ol
continuous self effacement, abnegation
and bending to his will, and sho has
been made to believe It to be her duty
to yield to the slightest wish of an ar
bitrary and exacting self appointed
Judge and master," She alleges that
she thought she deserved such treat
ment in order to become worthy to
move on the same high plane on which
he has led her to believe he moved.
The petitioner asserts that he "made
out a list of petty offenses against her,
which she still has, for which she
should pay fines varying from five
cents to $1, requiring her to agree to
pay the same cheerfully and without
lfjj)peal or argument as to the right oi
wrong thereof.
The defendant Is a New Bnglander,
but has lived In Washington for the
