Echoes from Beaver Meadow.

The farmers and hucksters are coming
in very plentifully, and truck is cheap.
There is very little work being done Mt

much disheartened over the prospects for the
coming winter.
That great destroyer of the beauties of

Importance of having good and competent

s.. W. Hudson, the Republican candi.
date for commissioner, is in town to-day. He
thinks the people are fully awake to their
interests, and are throwing aside all partisan
proclivities in order to get the right men.
The political campaign is now fairly
opened, 1t is very amusing to see the great
interest each party takes for its own; and,
also very laughable to see the fence riders
looking about, and watching every move
ment in their way to make sure of joining
the strongest party.
The Greenbackers had torchlight pro-
cession here on Monday evening. They
made a slim display. The Welsh member
ship of the party refused to fall into the pro-
cessiun, and created very much dissatisfac-
ton by their refusal. We are not able to
ascertain the exact reasons for their conduct,
any more than some oftheir detectives have
discovered that the Irish candidates on the
Democratic and hreenback tickets are afiili-
ating together for each others election. They
held their meeting in the Odd Fellows Hall,
and charged ten cents each admission. D..

From the County Seat.

PoLITGcs The far-seeing Democrats here
begin now to see that the leaders ofthe party
made some important mistakes at the COM
mencement Of the present campaign in the
county. A recaptuation by the committee
on Monday demonstrated the fact that if
some hard work is not done, they must loose
at the coming election. Looking at matters
in that light, it is evident, that the promi-
nent manipulators of the party wires here
feel very much discouraged. Gloomy re-
ports come from Weatherly, Summit Hill,
Lansford, Audenried and Banks. They feel
now that their strength after all must come
from the lower end of the county.
MINOR MATTERs.-E. A. Packer, freight
agent at the L. V. r. r. depot here, while
walking on the sidewalk, Thursday nght,on
Race street, stepped into an open and un-
garded trap-door, and fell distance ofsever-
al feet into n cellar. Fortunately his injur-
les, though painful, are not serious.

Boiler Explosion.

The following particulars of the explosion
at the Lehigh Slate Colnpanys works, Slat-
ington on Tuesday last ,wecip from the Nr,Cs:
Tuesday, shortly before one o'clock those liv-
ing in the vicinity of the Lehigh Slate Com
panys factory were thrown into a state of ex-
ctement by the tremendous report and terri
BILE crashing oftimbers in the direction of the
factory, and rushing to the scene, found the
boiler torn from its place, and the greatest
bulk of it thrown with such terrible force us
to imbed it firmly in an embankment IL or
10 yards away; the engine house and the
slate wash house totally demolished; a por-
ton of the main structure shattered, and the
ground strewn with hot, seething fragments
of iron. The whole factory was delise and
dark with smoke dust and steam, but fortu-
nately no fire occurred. Many hundred
spectators hocked to the scene.
p The men were in wild state of excite
ment and upon looking around found the
body of Mr. Frank L. Kennel, lying close
by the half buried boiler, in an almost life
less condition. The boiler struck him as it
passed through the wash house, and carried
him with it. By the time he was taken
from the wreck, and carried to o room in the
factory, he expired. He was engaged wash
ing slate close by the engine house when the
explosion occurred and was cut terribly
about the head and breast. The deceased
leaves wife and three children. Mrs. Ken
mel, we understand at the time Of the acci-
dent was away from home attending the
funeral of deceased friend. Before remov-
ing the body of deceased from the scene of
the accident, a jury was summoned, and
verdict rendered accordingto the above facts
Mr. Kennel was twenty-eight years Of age.
His funeral took place Thursday afternoon
EX-Constable VIM. Hunt was slightly
wounded about the head, and had painful
bruise in his side, though no serious results
are apprehended from his injuries. Jacob
Lehman was also slightly cut in the face,
by :he fragments that for a short time fell
thick and fast but his wounds are neither
very painful or dangerous, and Andrew
Wildrick, sustained a slight scratch on his
cheek, and had one of his hands burned.
The accident occurring before one o'clock,
the employees, with the exception of Mr..
Kennel, were not yet at work, but some of
them were standing around in the engine
room, which adjoins the boiler room, and
here is where the three men above named
were hurt. The engineer, VIM. A. Hunt,
was also in the engine room, but escaped all
harm.
At the time of the explosion, the boiler
carried Sj pounds of steam, with the water
standing between the first and second
gauges, and no other cause can be assigned
for the accident than the fact that the boiler
was old and well worn though it was con-
sidered in good repairs. We understand
that there are other steam boilers in daily
use at some of the slate factories, which are
old and in doubtful condition, and need a
thorough inspection.

"Domt Give Up the Ship"

When these words were spoken by our

not a dry eye among them, seeing their COM

orders like the above; but not more solemn
than when the family physician informs
you that some one of your family has an af-
iection of the lungs which, if neglected, will
eventually terminate in Consumption. But,

POIIPEII.

Excavations at Pampeii prove the city to
have been one Of the most fashionable and
beautiful of Roman summer resorts, and
but for the eruption it might have remained
so to this day. AS with Pomeii, so with
thousands ofpeople who have beauty of form
and feature. They might always be admir-
ed but for the eruption, that makes the face
unsghtly, and betrays the presence of scro-
iula, virulent blood poisons, or general debli-
ty. There is but one remedy that positively
cures these affections, and that remedy is
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. 1t
is the best known tonic, Alternative, and re-
liver spots, and all diseases arising from i'm
poverished or impure blood. 1t also cures
dyspepsia, and regulates the liver and bowels.

The Coal Trade.

The interest of the anthracite coal trade
during the past week centred pretty much
in the action of the Board of Control at
Long Branch on Tuesday of last week. OF
what transpircd there we have little nfor-
nation beyond the official report, the meet
ing having been held with closed doors.

Clarke, Samuel Sloan, G. b. Linderman,
Thos. Dickson, F. Lathrop, A. j. Cassatt,
Geo. A. IIoyt and John II. Jones. 1t is given
out that the amount of coal fixed upon to be
mined in the month of October, is the result
of a compromise. Some of the parties to the
combination desire much larger output for
the month, while others favor no increase
on that of the present month. 10000
was harmoniously agreed upon, which gives
to each of the several companies in the COM
bnatiOn as follows:
