Wilkes-Barre to-dav is holding w hat is
hoiied to he the largest eisteddfod ever
held in Pennsylvania Arrangements
have been made to accomodate a vast
number of people, and the exercise will
he conducted upon th<* grandest scale
possible. The declination of Chimney
M Depew to act as president resulted
in offering the honor to Ex Mayor Grace,
of New Yoik Citv Of course it is quite
appropriate fr .Vlr Grace to take coti
sp emu is part in any celebration which
occurs oil St Patrick's Day. Every Irish
society in-New York lias at oue time or
i another urged him to share in its festivi
: ties upon that day of Irish tradition, but
it is also appropriate for Mr. Grace to aid
1 the Welsh in a characteristic celebration.
Oil liia mother's aide he ia a part Welah

Scotch ami the Iriah as pretty near kin.
| Though he ia a Home Ruler and lias

patrician English blood being a cousin

; able him to preside to-day at the Wilkes
j Barre festival with satisfaction.
Anthracite Base Hull League.
From Shenandoah the following dis
patch was sent yesterday: "The An
thracite Base Ball League, embracing
clubs of Shenandoah, Pottsville, Malia
nuy City, Tamagna, Shauiokin, Sit. Car
mel, Ashland, Freeland and riazletoii
v\as formed at this place this afternoon.
The ollieersare: H. G. Steele, of the
Shauiokin Dinpatch , president; W. J.
Wat kins, Shenandoah llerald , secretary;
J 10 Rice, Pottsville, treasurer. The
season will open about April 17."
t reelund is in the League, according
to the above, but the least the organizers
could have done would he t< invite a
representative of the town to the meet
ing. The 'own can support a club as
well as any place in the region, and if
the Anthracite League means business
Freeland will he in it. The list of towns,
however, needs revision. Ashland and
Hazleton are "dead" as far as base ball
is concerned. There is no necessity of
burdening the League with such places
when there are oilier first-class clubs
anxious for adtuissi-in. The Freeland
Association is said to he defu ct, but if
such is the case there is another here
ready to put a club on the diamond that
w ill uphold Freehold's title to the cham
pionship ot the coal fields. Success to
the new League.
"Red Nose Mike's" Accomplices.
District Attorney German received
word from the Italian Consul at Phila
delphia, stating that Beviveno and Yil
lalle, who with "Red Nosed Mike" in
October, 1889, killed Paymaster MeClure
and Flanuagati, would be tried tor mur
der in Itai v the latter part of this month.
The two former escaped from the detec
tives here, and on their arrival in Italy
were arrested. The Italian government
desires the presence of one of the wit
nesses and certified copies of the testi
mony in "Red Nose Mike's" case. One
of the witnesses is John Wilson, of
Miners' Mills, and he was asked to go to
Italy. Wilson wants five dollars a day
and expenses. The Italian Consul says
his government * ill provide only a third
class passage across the Atlantic. Wil
son says he doesn't travel third-class.

Sullivan and t'orbett to Figlit.
John L. Sullivan, champion of the
world, and James J. Corhett, of Cali
fornia, were matched at the New York
World office on Tuesday. They are to
fight September 7, probably at the
Olympic Club, in New Orleans, for the
championship of the world, $10,606 a
side, and a purse of $25,000. This is by
far the most important pugilistic contest
ever arranged. No two men ever fought
for so large a purse, and only in the
Sullivan-Kilraiu tight at Richhurg, Miss.,
July 8, 1889, have the stakes been so
large. (j|
Too Many Men on the Cage.
Mine Inspector Stein, of Shenandoah,
has applied to the Schuylkill County
Court for warrants for the arrest of
eleven miners, charged with violating
the law that no more than ten miners

in the coal region.

that there were no vacancies in the;

Cure for the Grip,
La grippe is prevented and cured by
thetimelx and persistent use of N. H. i
Downs' Elixir. During the prevalence '
of la grippe two years ago the sale of j
Downs' 1- lixir was enormous, and the
cases in which the disease was broken
up on the start by its faithful use were
numbered by thousands. Be sure and
get the Elixir on the first appearance of
the disease, and persevere in taking it
until cured. Sold by Dr. Schilcher. * ;
Judge Lynch'm Position.
Judge Lynch has filed a special paper
stating that he did not approve of the
re-appointment as jail warden of Thomas
W. Haines, and would not indorse the
recommendation of the prison commis
sioners. This will have no effect upon
Mr. Haines getting the place, as Judges
Woodward and Rice are expected to
affirm the appointment.
Bravery Rewarded.
The Board of Fire Underwriters of
New York presen ed a gold medal to
Sergeant John li. Vaughan, of Fire
Patrol No. 3. in recognition of his brav
ery at the Hotel Royal fire. Vaughan
made several heroic reseures at that ter
rible conflagration, and saved the life of
Attorney C. W. Kline, of Hazleton.
During ihe burning of the hotel he saved
the lives of four other persons bv mak
ing himself a human bridge. Breaking
through a window on the third floor lie
wound one leg in a -elephone wire.
With one hand he clasped the window
sill where stood the imprisoned hotel
guests, and with the other hand grasped
the window out of which he had come.
In this position, swinging many feet
above the sidewalk, he permitted four
j human beings to walk over him. rescu
ing them from certain and fearful death.
I In the same fire he rescued another man
by going to the roof with two firemen.
They lowered him head downwards un
til with his arms he could grasp a mail
weighing 200 pounds who was at aw in
; dow. Toe two firemen, holding Vaughan
by the feet, then lifted him and the man
1 lie had rescued to the roof. Vaughan
richly deserved Ids gold niedai.
A Song Willi 7(1 Allthorn.
M underfill, isn't it, how many men
aspire to honor* which belong toothers.
This is particularly true in the literary
world. Somebody is always claiming
the honors of the work of someone else.
Even Shakespeare has been accused of
stealing the brains of others. We have
all heard the song descriptive of a
! miner's life, begining "At eight years of
age to the breaker first I went," but few
of us know who wrote it. About two
J months ago somebody was anxious to
get a copy of ihe song and advertised.
In two days he received answers from
i 76 men who claimed the authorship, yet
strange to say, could not furnish a copy
jof the words. Twelve Scrantoniaiis
i claimed the responsibility—hut the real
au'hor has been discovered down in
I Freeland. He is Charles Johnson, a
j miner, who makes no pretentions to
i ability, but whose modest effort, now
| that it is to he published and sung on
i the road, will make iiis name well
i known. Others have claimed the song
| fur years, but Mr. Johnson's friends in
! tend to assert his rights.— Scranton Dio-
I ce*an Record.
| The song, "A Miner's Life," was writ
ten by Mr. Johnson in 1873, the author
at that time residing in one of the Wood
! wide company houses. It was composed
after hearing a portion of "The Old Log
Cabin in the Lane," and was at first in
tended as a parody on that song. It was
set in type and printed by the editor of
the TKIHUNI- a lew months later, and the
original manuscript has been in our pos
session since. Dan Hart, of Wi.kes-
Barre, has written a new play, "Under
ground," which will soon he produced in
New York City, and "A Miner's Life" j
will he sung in the th'rd act of the
drama. Mr. Johnson is the author of
the song and can prove it in u dozen
ways.
A Long Suit Ended.
Judge Woodward has rendered a de-:
cision in connection with the great cave- j
in at Nanticoke in 1885 which w il. piob- j
ably put an end to any further litigation !
looking tu the recovery of damages from j
the company. The cave-in took place
in December, 1885. Twenty-two men I
perished and their bodies are still in the .
mine. Some of the relatives of the vie- (
tuns then entered suits to compel the I
company to take out the dead bodies, 1
but the company was able to show the
court that the task was an impossible '
one, and the plaintiffs were non-suited.
About a mouth ago Senator Mines
thought he had discovered some new j
evidence which would hold the company i
responsible for the accident. The mother
of Max Leneoski, a driver boy who lost I
his life by the cave-in, entered suit for '
S2U,UUU damages. Senator Ilines. as her
counsel, did introduce some new evi
dence. hut not sufficient to prevent the
court from entering a nonsuit after two
days' trial.

Tlie Auditor* Objected.
County Auditors Brislin, Bennet and
Rimer have commenced an investigation
into the methods by which the county
jail and court house was painted last fall.
Commissioners Dullard, Evans and
Smith approved hills to the amount of
$7227.79 for the whole work. They had
made a verbal contract with Charles Cur
ling, who took charge of the work, and
agreed to pay him $3.5(1 a day for each
| man employed. The auditors expect to
i prove that more money was expended
than was necessary.
Tlie Deal Reaches Court.
Attorney General Hensel on Tuesday
began proceedings, by tiling a hill in
equity in the Dauphin County Court at
Harrishurg, to test the legality of the
Reading leases. The hill was accom
panied by the customary notification to
I enter an appearance within fourteen
1 days after service. The bill in equity is
a lengthy document, filling four columns
of a newspaper.
