Another Mine Fire IK Ilnglng. The big empire mine of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal Company at Wilkcsbarro caught fire Friday night, and in examining its extent four of the most prominent officials in that region were overcome by gas and had a narrow escape from death. The men were General Superintendent \V. .7. Richards; Morgan R. Morgans, inside superinten dent; Reese Morgan, superintendent of the Ilollenbach colliery, and G. M. Williams, mine inspector of the district. When the fire was discovered a force of men with 2,500 feet of hose entered the mine and proceeded to an abandon ed working about two miles distant. Here they encountered dense smoke and heavy gases. The men could make no headway and so decided after a consul tation. The officials docided to enter the mine later, and in their efforts to locate the scone of the fire were over come by gas. The officials were rescued with diffi culty and for some hours were in a serious condition. The fire is above the main gangways that connect with the llollenback, Stan ton and South Wilkesbarre collieries, and it will be impossible to drown the fire without flooding all of the workings of these collieries. Inspector Williams expressed the opin ion that the only way the progress of the fire could bo retarded would be to closo it In on both sides with brick and masonry, arid in that way extinguish it. Slttronlitii Convention Knded. The fifth annual convention of the Slovak Evangelical Lutheran Union of the United States, which convened in Wilkesbarre last week, was brought to ! a close on Friday.

This organization has been in exist ence since 1892. The original branch, No. 1, was organized in Freeland. The committee on the Orphans' home, through their chairman, Rev. Karl Houser, of town, made a report and handed in the deed for a tract of land in the vicinity of the Honey Hole, donated by Michael Zomany, on which a homo will be built for the orphans of the Slavonic Lutheran people.

A boy's life was saved by Henry Rip ple, a locomotive fireman of llazlcton, on Friday night. Six-year-old William Jacobs was on the track in front a Lehigh Valley passenger train as it rushed out of that city. The child failed to hear the train approach, and Ripple, seeing his danger, ran out on the pilot.

The June letter of tho Anthracite Coal Operators' Association says: "Calculating on the June basis, 4,153,- 000 tons, and applying tho same per centages, tho output for each month from July to December would be as follows: July 4,153,091 August 4,051,004 Soptombcr 4,254.584 October 5,176,010 November 5,003,837 December 4,008,871 Total 20,708,000 "It may bo granted that these figures are not convincing proof that the ship ments will reach the figure named. In deed, one cause more than any other will tend to retard production—tho diffi culty in securing miners and laborers. "Even now, while mining only 3,000,- 000 tons per mouth, both tho compan ies and individual operators are finding it difficult to secure a full force of men, and in some instances, collieries have been unable to mine their full quota. "Unless a marked change occurs it will not be surprising, therefore, if tho months of October and November, in stead of producing over 5,000,000 tons each, will fall considerably short of this amount, and it is questionable whether the production in any of the other months could be increased enough to make tiiis good. "With firm prices and a tonnage any thing near that calculated, the year will show the greatest prosperity tho anthracite industry has ever known." Public .School ExercittH. The public schools of the borough will hold their closing exercises this evening at tho Grand opera house.

K. Fritzinger. The funeral of the late Milton E. Fritzinger took place on Thursday after noon, and the esteem in which he was held by the community was attested by tho large number of people who as sembled at his parents' home to show their respect. Services were conducted in St. John's church by Rev. J. B. Kerschner, after which tho remains were laid in tho family plot in Frceland cemetery. The funeral was also attended by members of tho Brotherhood of Loco motive Firemen, tho Knights of Pythias and a large delegation of I). S. & S. Railroad employes.

May (let No Public Building. The supervising architect of the treasury department, after examining the sites offered for the new government building at Wilkesbarre, has come to the conclusion that the property is ail held at too high a figure. Tho valua tion of property in that city is some thing like that on Broad or Chestnut streets, Philadelphia. The appropria tion made by congress is not large enough to permit of purchasing such expensive sites. Newnpapor Chang, >H Hands. Dr. J. Anson Singer, of Forty Fort, and J. 11. Schuinan, of Wilkesbarre, have purchased the Wilkesbarre Tele phone, which for two years past has boon leased and published by County Treasurer R. P. Robinson. Dr. Singer will bo remembered as the Democratic candidate for coroner last fall, lie is a staunch advocate of Duinocratic princi ples. and we welcome the Telephone to the ranks of the newspapers which arc battliug for the people's iutercsts. PENNSYLVANIA POLITICS HUMILIATING POSITION OF THE GREAT KEYSTONE STATE. Great State, Hut a Small Factor in Na tional Affair*, "Except on Election Day or When Volunteers Are Called." Scored by the Waxliiugton "Pont." Pennsylvania's humiliating position In the national game of politics now being played for the organization of the next house of representatives is re cognized and commented on in Wash ington. The sorry figure the state's big delegation cuts in the matter of in fluence in the Republican house has been observed since Mr. Reed took himself out of the speakership proposi tion. The following paragraph in an ultra- Quay organ furnishes a text to the Washington Post for some observations in its issue of Friday on Pennsylvania's place in national politics. Tho para graph reads: "Pennsylvania lias made herself felt in this speakership question, and has been a very large factor." QUAY METHODS SCORED. Tho Poßt % which by tho way is an in dependent paper, but a thick-and-thin supporter of ex-Senator Quay, scores tin methods of tho latter boss in the follow ing comment on the above quotation: "Funny as that looks and sounds, it was not intended as a joke. However provocative it may be of laughter—and wo think it wiii send a snicker clear across the continent—it was written into a solemn leader on 'Pennsylvania and the Speakership,' tho object of which was to prove that 'the result of the Kingham movement has been that the delegation has been rounded up for Henderson, and because of this attitude New York has dropped her own candi date and the thing is settled. And. therefore'—and here is tho pith of the article—'Pennsylvania will be powerful in the important committees, and with a friendly speaker in the chair should be able to carry through those great pro jects which are so necessary for her commercial prosperity. We must have a deep-water channel in the river, and we must make League Island the great naval center.' "Tho Pont will not envy Pennsylvania any good thing that she may get. How - ever ailluentiy she may be endowed with committee chairmanships, how over deep may be her water, and what ever of prominence League Island may attain, the Post will rejoice in all that makes for the welfare of a great-heart ed, generous, patriotic commonwealth. PEN NSYI/V A NIA '8 GIIEATNEBB. "Great as is tho Keystone slate in many respects, vast as is her influence in the business world, she is but a small factor in national affairs on all the days in the year except those on which elec tions are held or volunteer soldiers called for. "She has great men in manufactures, in finance, in railroad management, in mining, and in the professions. She shows up grandly in the census, and her part in tho world's philanthropic work is well performed. Rut the com paratively small and poor state of Maine has been a greater national power in tho sense of having greater men and holding higher places than Pennsyl vania, ever since Hannibal Ilamliu and Lot M. Morril left the Democratic fold to take part in and build up a new party. "Almost half a century ago Simon Cameron transferred the Democratic political machino under his control to tho Republican party. Since that time Pennsylvania's vote has been cast for every Republican presidential candidate. Rut the list of really great men whom she has contributed to the public ser vice in any or all the departments of the national government would occupy small space. Why this is we shall not attempt to explain, but it is a notorious fact. And that is the main reason why that great state has little influence in politics aside from her vote. And the fact that her vote may be depended on really reduces hor influence." SIOO Howard, SIOO.
