Statu Council 1m Suspended.
The state convention of the Junior
Order of United American Mechanics
came to a sensational end shortly before
noon on Thursday. The national or
ganization has revoked the state charter,
after preferring charges of insubor
dination. Deputy National Councillor
Robert Ogle, of Raltimore, put an end
to the wrangle which had been going on
between the two factions for two days,
and divested the state organization of
all power to do businoss. There had
been a lively war waged among the
delegates over the national per capital
tax, and the climax was reached as
above stated.
The state council is an incorporated
body and can operate under tho title
of tho Junior Order Unitod American
Mochanics without consulting tho na
tional council, aud as the Pennsylvania
membership comprises nearly two-thirds
of tho whole national body it is a ques
tion in their minds whether it is not ad
visable to remain independent.

At an early hour Friday morning
Miss Bella O'Donnell died at the home
of her mother, Mrs. John O'Donnell, on

and Thomas; a sister, Miss Maggie, and
a step-brother and step-sister, 11. A.
Shovlin, Esq., of town, and Mrs. Daniel
McGtnness, of Kingston.
The funeral took place this morning,
in charge of tho Daughters of Mary
Sodality, of which Miss O'Donnell was
an activo member. A requiem mass
was read at St. Ann's church and tho
remains were interred in the cemotery
adjoining.
Stockholders Now Have Hope.
Hon. Josiali Adams, tho Republican
candidate for superior court judge, has
been ousted from the position of receivor
of tiie National Building and Loan
Association, of N-w York city, by the
Federal court. It was claimed that
Adams' appointment was secured by col
lusion witli the men who had wrecked
the company and some of the Pennsyl
vania stockholders went to tho United
Statos court and Mr. Adams was re
movod. This is welcome news to the
people of this vicinity whoso money is
tied up in tho association.

••Hotter Thau a Sermon,"
The new "Rrocken" scene, that has
been prepared for tho farewell tour of
Lewis Morrison's "Faust" this season,
is pronounced to bo the most weirdly
beautiful ever placed upon tho stage
and not alone a mastorpieco of the
stage mechanic's skill, but a revelation
also in tho art of electrical eiTocts.
Never havo there been unfolded such
intricate and amazing surprises in
electrical forces as are displayed in this
scene. Owls Vioot and llap their wings,
vampire bats Hit by in hideous silence,
huge green slimy snakes float through
space, monster dragons appear omitting
lire from their dilated nostrils, myriads
of scintillating lire-llies illumlnato the
chasm, satyrs sit in stoical silence,
sirens sing seductive ditties and goblins
gyrate in demoniacal revelry.
Mephlsto in satanlc majesty views
with ghoulish glee this labyrinth of
weirdness and from the summit of the
"Rrocken" hurls thundorbolts at the
poor mortals who have been banished
to everlasting torment. This scene
ends with the most novel and imposing
pyrotechnic display ever presented on
any stage.
