several reforms in the Home. In doing this
he has perhaps, used extreme measures and

THERE never was finer convention in
Ohio county than that which assembled on
Saturday,. l. was splendidly representa-.
tive Of the commercial, the manufacturing,
the agricultural and the profes'ional ac'ivi-
ties Of the community. Though there WEI
no class or race distinction, the convention
was bey ond the reproach Of dis.
elimination against race or
claEs. As a matter Of fact
we have no clas3es; the ISTgLLlGEScEE is
no. in love with the word, and it is used
only because nothing else conveys the
same meaning. The men who live by the
labor Of their hands were in large majority
in the convention, as they are in this COM
muniy, and the same relative strength is
Rown in the delegations aent to the higher
conventions.

u"p' Ahuuepuutes
WlLKEsDARRE, April 2G.-An acciden,
happened at the mines Of tho Fuller Coal
Company at Maltby, near here, yesterday,
that will probably result In the entire
abandonment Of the colliery. A new slope
was being driven from shaft sunk near
the susquehanna River. The surface above
consists Of quicksand and gravel, saturated
with water from tho river, and the work.
ings Of the new slope were only separated
from the sand by about thirty.iiye feet OF
rock. A llssure WAS struck by the workmen
and a vast body OF water began pouring into
tho mines. This trouble has always been
feared by the company, and powerful
pumps and materials for damming the
slope were kept in readiness. These were
put into operation, but proved inadequate
10 check the water. Five Of the pumps
were lost, and the hoisting machinery at
the head Of the slope was with difficulty
rescued. The works arc now entirely full
Of water, and all efforts 10 stop the irfl,w
have been abandoned. II is feared that a
general caye.in will follow, and that the
sand will ill the colliery. Tho company ia
at present undecided whether to abandon
the ,colliery or make another attempt TO
clear out the water and dam the break,
The colliery employed nearly l50 men,
who are thrown out OF work.
