A special meeting of the borough school hoard was held on Saturday even ing. All the members were present, ex cept President McCarthy. Director ferry was elected to preside. He asked the secretary to state the object of the meeting, as he was not aware of its purpose. The secretary stated that he had visited the schools and found them in a very crowded condition, so crowded, in fact, that it was almost impossible for the teachers to do effective work, es pecially in the primary grade. Also that the number of pupils in the Daniel Coxe school alone is by far too many for the number of teachers. After a discussion of the subject. Director Schaub offered, as the proper remedy of the matter, a motion to elect a female assistant primary teacher. Applications wore read from Miss Katie Winters and Miss Mary McGill. Mr. Johnson here stated that at the time of the appointment of teachers he was led to believe that if the board would appoint another teacher at any time Miss Winters would be given pref erence. Mr. Sweeney said he had never con sented to anything like that at any time, but did not know whether others did or not. Two ballots were taken, resulting as follows: For Miss Winters, Ferry, John son and Schaub. For Miss McGill, Timony and Sweeney. The petition from the South Heberton residents was discussed, and from the views of some of the directors tho peti tion does not seem to be genuine. No action was taken. A petition from the teachers was read asking for tho extension of tho noon hour fifteen minutes. . It was agreed to allow them to do so, provided they made up the time after 4 o'clock. Mr. Schaub asked that another ballot be taken on tho teacher. It resulted the same as the other two. Directors Ferry and Schaub were in structed to have the water closets clean ed as cheaply as possible. MiaerH on Strike Again.

The slope was idle twenty minutes, and the men were told they would bo docked ono hour. The drivers and company men immediately struck and inarched in a body to No. 2 slope. Word was sent down to these men and they also struck. A meeting of the strikers was held at Audenried school house and a commit too was appointed to wait on Superin tendent Lathrop, in Wilkosbarre, today, to present tho grievances. A Saturday Evening Marriage. George 11. Thomas, of Washington street, and Miss Francos .1. Davis, daughter of Councilman Thomas E. Davts, of liirvanton, were married on Saturday evening by Rev. J. T.

Harry Evans, Lawrence Sullivan and Daniel Sullivan, three alleged pick pockets, made a successful break for liberty while being escorted to the coun ty jail by Warden Roland Friday after noon, after ingratiating themselves with the warden so cleverly that he was quite thrown off his guard. He made a prompt chase, but the three prisoners could hot be overtaken. The men are well-dressed, smooth-tongued fellows. They were arrested during the firemen's convention on the charge of picking pockets. Friday morning they were taken down from jail for a habeas corpus hearing before .ludge Bennett. At its conclu sion the court recommitted them in de fault of bail on two charges of picking pockets. They had won the confidence of War- Jen Roland, who readily granted their request to walk back to jail in prefer ence to riding. Lawrence Sullivan and Evans, handcuffed together, walked ahead. The trustful warden and Daniel Sullivan followed. The later was not handcuffed. Near the jail, at a point where a rail road runs to several mills and lumber yards. Evans and Sullivan managed to slip the handcuffs which bound them and started to run in opposite directions. Roland set out in pursuit of Evans, who, however, rapidly outstripped him. Ro land, as soon as he saw Evans was out running him, stopped and fired five shots at the fleeing man. None of them took effect, although a spot or two of blood seon on the rail shows that Evans had either been grazed by a bullet or cut by the handcuffs. Evans ran all the faster for the shooting, and soon was out of sight. Lawrence Sullivan, in the meantime, had been pursued by a number of men and they woro closing in on him when lie espied a bicycle standing against the curb. He jumped on it just as his pur suers were upon him and managed to elude them and sped rapidly away. In the general excitement no one thought of Daniel Sullivan, and lie evi dently walked quietly asvay. None of the inon have as yet been arrested, al though Roland has offered SIOO reward and all the police and constables in the city are on tlie watch. DRIFTON ITEMS. The new air motor recently installed in No. 2 mine continues to run about ! pretty much as it pleases. Scarcely a day passes without it doing something to make itself notorious. The last vic tim of its contrariness is Henry Millor, a member of the "gang," who, while j "scotching" the motor on Friday, had I the first joint of the second finger on his I right hand severed by its wheels. The ! engineer who was thrown off the first day it ran is still unable to work, and a half a dozen others are nursing minor bruisos received from this piece of eccentric mechanism. It does great work when it works, and those in charge expect to soon have its energy properly controlled. Two young men made a wager yester day that they could outwalk any two of their companions. The challenge, was accepted, and at 1.30 p. m. the pedes trians started. At a late hour last night none of the four had returned. Five ten-hour shifts will be worked at the collieries tills week. PERSONALITIES. Philip J. Boyle lias accepted a position as driver of the mail and express wagon, succeeding Ed O'Donnell, resigned. Patrick J.

The accused were arrested on Friday morning, with George Farrell and William Gillespie, while drinking the beor at McGlynn's ranch, corner of Carbon and Adams street. All six were given a hearing before Squire Shovlin, who placed each of them under SI.OOO bail. Security was furnished for Gillespie and Farrell, and the others were lodged in the county Jail. Lattlmer Miu.ncre Again. The national government may have to bring the Lattlmer massacre of Septem ber 10 last to the attention of congress in December, because of the fact that foreigners were killed in it, and con gress may have to appropriate an in demnity fund to satisfy the demands of foroign governments. The Austrians are the first In the field and have the largest number of cases, which they have submitted to the state department. Sheriff Martin on Friday received a letter from Governor Hastings contain ing the copy of a letter from Secretary of State Sherman requesting a state ment regarding the shooting and the in cidents leading np to the conflict. Sher iff Martin at once began work upon a statement of his side of the case. The sheriff will transmit it to Gover nor Hastings, and it will then be for warded to Secretary Shorman. Of tho Austrian subjects, ten were killed and twenty-three wounded by the sheriff and his deputies. Upon tho reply of tho governor to Sec retary Sherman will depend the action to be taken by the administration. If ho justifies the murder of the minors as a lawful exercise of power, tho state de partment will make a similar reply to the Austrian minister. On tho other hand, if the governor makes admissions which tend to confirm the contention of the Austrian govern ment, the administration will lay tho matter before congress for such action as it has taken in other cases whore for eign subjects have been killed unlaw fully iu this country.

CASTORIA For Infants and Children. 1 (- /I , 3.L THREATS AGAINST GOD. ANGRY FARMER TOOK OUT HIS GUN TO KILL HIS CREATOR. Raided the Weapon Heavenward and Immediately Was Stricken With Taral yulH— Rooted to lIU Field for Two Night a and a Day—A Terrible Warning. From the York (Pa.) Age. Some time since we published in the Age an account of a man at Instanter, Elk county, who, because his crops were being ruined by incessant rains, threat ened to shoot the Almighty, and going out into one of his fields raised his gun and pointed it to the heavens, when he was stricken by some mysterious power and was unable to move from his posi tion. The story was generally discredit ed, but according to the Gazette, of Helle fontn, there Is some truth In It. The Ga zette an Friday stated that l)r. Mclntire, of Howard, in order to find out what there really was in the story, wrote to the postmaster at Instanter, Pa., and in reply roceived two letters. Tho first received was as follows: "O. W. Mclntire, M. D., Howard, Pa. —Dear Sir: 1 will say in reply to your letter, inquiring as to the truth of tho several different reports running through the newspapers of our section of the state concerning a KARMKK BEING TI'RNED TO STONE, that a man by the name of Decker, liv ing near here, is reported to have had an experience of that kind, but was in town yesterday, looking very palo and scarcely able to walk. He denied tho allegation, but there are different people here who positively claim to have seen him when ho was in the position as reported by the papers. These people say that on ac count of somo mysterious influence they wure unable to get close enough to make indentification complete, but they are positive ho was the man. On tho con trary, Decker is very quiet on tho subject and absolutely refuses to discuss it. One tiling is very apparent, that before this was supposed to have happened ho WAS A VERY PROFANE .MAN, but now ho is altogether changed, so much that any one having known him before would not now recognize him at all. "Trusting this explanation will gratify your curiosity, 1 remain, very respect fully. A. C. Quigley, Assistant 1\ M." The second letter from the assistant postmaster gave additional proof of the truthfulness of tho story. It was: "O. W. Mclntire, M. D., Howard, Fa. Dear Doctor: I have since learned more concerning the matter you wrote about. Decker has finally admitted that part of the matter said of him is true in respect to making the threat and getting his gun and going into the orchard and pointing to the heavens. He says when ho HAD HIS GUN IN POSITION a feeling came over him that would bo impossible to describe. The muscles of his body seemed to be paralyzed. He could not change his position, lfo tried to call for some one to help him, but could not make a sound. "There was but one person at the house, that being a small boy, who, no ticing his position, went toward him, but could not get within at least 100 feet of him. In regard to any one trying to build a shed over him. he says that no attempt was made. He was in the posi tion TWO NIGHTS AND ONE DAY. Ho says that so long as he lives he will never utter another oath, but will try and serve his Maker to the best of his ability from this time on. He says it was a direct warning from the other world. "You can give this publicity in your paper, Doctor, as it will be an accommo dation to us. Our mall is literally over run with Inquiries. Very truly yours. "A. C. Quigley, Assistant P. M."
