Ton* of Kiirth .Slide at a Stripping; and Two Men Are Killed. A shocking accident by which two men lost their lives and several thou sand dollars worth of property was de stroyed, took place at Milnesvillo strip ping. operated by A. S. Wickle & Co., on Tuesday. The accident was practically a landslide, and the first that lias occur red about the mines. The names of the victims arc John Martin, of Milnesvillo, and John Risko, of Harloigh. Both are Hungarians. There were usually about thirty men employed around the place where the crash took place. This was a stripping hole about 300 feet deep. The sides rise at an anglo of seventy-five de gress. pitching north and south at the top. The opening is 100 foot across, and at the bottom tapers in "V" shape where the two veins meet. Half way down a railroad was built along the rocks. Along this road Martin and Risko started with a mule team at noon. The men working below thorn left at the same time to go to dinner. When the men reached a point half way across there was a sudden cracking of the rock and the next moment tons of slate and rock began to slide, carrying the unfortunate men down to death. Willing hands were quickly at work digging in an effort to extricate the doomed miners. Two mules were first found. These were crushed to a pulp, and several mine cars which stood at the bottom were smashed to splinters. It was 3 o'clock before the mangled bodies of the unfortunate workmen were recovered. Lend in Original Advertising. The Tigers Athletic Club is advertis ing its ball on Now Year's Eve with an unusually pretty design of a show card. It is in the form of a round Chinese lan tern. about a foot in diameter, neatly done up in colors, and with the ball an nouncement printed in an attractive manner. The cards are in great de mand, and the club is getting an abun dance of advertising through the original methods the members take to place its its name before the public. In addit ion, hundreds of small white and blue badges, surmounted with gold leaves, are being distributed to be worn on the coat lapels of the club members and their friends. These also contain an announcement of the ball, and the event will therefore be made known in many ways. The Tigers certainly lead in the line of original and effective ad vertising. AVaat Money for Schuylkill's Poor. Commissioners Allen, Rent/, and Martin, of Schuylkill county, con- | ferred with the poor directors at the almshouse relative to an addi tional appropriation which those officers demand.

Tenants of (iirard KNIHU- Notified Not t< Seek a Kunewal of License. The wildest sort of consternation i ' prevailing among the hotel and salooi * keepers of West Mahanoy township Schuylkill county, owing to a circuia letter, a copy of which each of them re ' celved from the Hoard of City Trusts o ' Philadelphia. There are twenty hotel) and iiensed saloons in the township, ant nineteen of them are located on tin lands of the Girard estate. The lottei in question is a terse but positive notice to them that if they continue to sel liquor on the premises after the expira tion of the current license year they wil forfeit their leases nnd render them selves liable to ejectment. This action on the part of the Hoard of City Trusts was a surprise to those who received the letter. The leases un der which they hold possession contain a clause prohibiting the sale of liquor on the grounds, but the clause has always been violated with impunity, and the present lessees had no intimation that the prohibitory clause was ever to be enforced until the notices came to them from the Philadelphia officeof the Hoard of City Trusts. Several of the hotelkeepors have valu able properties, which will be rendered almost worthless by tho enforcement of the order. December 10 is the last day for filing license applications, and as the exact language of the circular is that they must not apply for a renewal of their licenses they are at a loss to know what to do. Prominent. Pioneer Dead. One of the pioneers of tho northeast ern part of tho state, George H. Chase, who was in his eightieth year, died at his home in Scranton on Tuesday, after an illness of three days. Mr. Chase came to Scranton in 1853. In 1809 he was appointed United States ganger for the twelfth internal revenue district and ho held that position until 1887, when he was removed by President Cleveland. lie was reappointed by President Harrison and served two years, being obliged to resign on account of an accident. A noteworthy feature of his career is the fact that ho was elected president of the first Republican club formed in this part of the state. It was tho first Republican club in Luzerne county, and was organized in 1850. He was one of the oldest Odd Fellows, and was to have been tendered a reception by the Odd Fellows of Scranton tomor row evening. Collector Herring Wants Advice. Rovonue Collector ('.runt Horrlng wrote to tho internal revenue, depart ment at Washington this week for in structions as to what he shall do with 3,700 pounds of oleomargarine which was seized at Mnycrsburg, Bradford county, because tin, tubs did not contain revenue stamps. In accordance with the rules of the internal revenue depart ment the imitation butter was to he dis posed of at auction sale in Scranton to pay the tax, but as there is a state law prohibiting tho sale of oleo in Pennsyl vania. Collector Herring lias written to the department suggesting tho condition of affairs and asking for instructions. The state authorities will prosecute him if lie sells, and the national law says he must sell. Herring, therefore, proposes to go slow before ho acts. Suit Against a Ito rough. Congressman Hrumin and ex-District Attorney James have entorod a trespass suit in t IKS Schuylkill county court against the borough of Ashland in behalf of Sarah Holich, a widow, and her son. Harry G., claiming 850,000 damages for the life of the husband and father. Howard G. Holich, who it is alleged died from tho effects of injuries received last March by being violently thrown from his horse while ho was riding. The animal stumbled over a pile of stone and dirt which the Ashland authorities, it is alleged, negligently allowed tore main on the principal street of f he town at night without erecting a danger signal and contrary to the borough ordinances.

An Accident at School Unused a Child to Lose the Power of Vinton, Hut by Unswerving Confidence in Hod's Prom ises It Was Restored. A romarkaiile case of what is claimed to be faith cure lias occurred in Wllkes- I barro, and is described in a despatch from that city to tho Philadelphia Press. It is that of a girl named Agnos Theresa Prvor, tlio sovontoen-ycar-oid daughter of Patrick Prvor. Seven years ago. when a child of 10, she attended St. Mary's parochial school, and at recess one day while playing with some other little girls one of them accidentally stuck her finger In Agnes' left eye. Before she left school the little girl who iiad caused tlio accident asked forgive ness and also implored Agnes not tu toll on her, as she was afraid her parents would punish her. Agnos, with a Lhristian spirit remarkable in so young a child, promised she would not toil who did it, and siie freely forgavo her. At home she merely said her eye had been hurt while playing. Physicians wore called in and thoy re lieved tlio pain, but could not restore tho sigiit. In a few days the optic nerves of tho right eye, becoming affect- mi by the injury to the loft, failed of their functions and the sight of the right eye gradually grew dim, until a week after the accident happened she was quiet blind. Ilor parents wore poor, lint raised money to send her to Philadelphia to a noted specialist, lie examined her eyes and said that she conid never recover her sight. Despite the dreadful nature of her alllictlon, the child remained bright and happy and was such a fav orite at school that the other children took her under special charge and each morning would call at her home to lead her to school and take her hack again. three years ago while listening with Iter parents to a sermon one Sunday, Agnes was greatly impressed. Her par ents have forgotten the text, but the. priest spoke of the power of (iod, saying lie would do anything forthosowho had faith in Dim. When they reached homo the little girl, then fourteen years old, -said site had faith in (led and was going to pray to Him every day to restore her sight. The parents, though they had no hope, encouraged the girl and every day for the past throe years she has made a special prayer that her eyesight be restored. As month after month passed and there was 110 change, the child did not relax her prayers, but said she had faith and would pray every day. When it was line and she could get some one to lead her, she would go to the church and other times she prayed in her room. A few weeks after starting her.special prayers she confessed to the priest and told her parents she had kept from thorn the knowledge of how the accident hap pened. This she said was the only sin of her life and she wanted to take its burden from hor conscience. The long-hoped for change came last Sunday. During the early morning, she felt a peculiar Itching in her eyes and mentioned the fact to hor parents. In tlie afternoon the itching continued and she lay down on a sofa. Suddenly she electrified the household by exclaiming: "Why I can son. There's mamma. There's papa. There's sister," pointing to each one in turn. Then she arose and walked unaided around the room, placed her hands on several articles, said what they wore and then, ovoreome with joy and thank fulness, gave thanks to Uod. As the hours passed hor sight improv ed. She can now see clearly with the right eye and dimly with the left. She says she will continue hor prayers until she can clearly see, and after that will continue to give thanks oacli day. The liouso lias been crowded witli neighbors since Sunday, and the girl is able to sec and greot each one. FOIt t )ffices | Hanks Stores' I That need not be wound—self winding. GLOVER THE JEWELER W.
