Tho HNaked Lamp" kgoin.

An explosion Of gas, which resulted
in the burning of five men, three of
them fatally, occurred at No. slope,
Nanticoke, on the morning of the 4th
inst. A number of company men were
engaged in shutting up heading, which
neccssitated the changing of the air
current from its usual outlet. The men
were told not to enter the mines when
the air was defective, They disobeyed
the orders and entered the forbidden
portion of the mine with naked lamps,
causinga terrific explosion. The burned
men were removed to the surface as
soon as possible and medical aid was
summoned, They presented q sickening
sight, their clothes being burned almost
entirely from their bodies and their faces
and bodies burned and torn with flying
pieces of coal. In some cases the flesh
burned from their limbs in large pieces.
The names OF the victims are Frank
Kanithoushi, Joseph Gro1ousi, Ben
iamin Ford, John Hughs and German
laborer. The first three were fatally
burned,

A Fist Fight in a Church.

Abraham Rosenthal and Abraham
ZubunsRy Saturday morning attended
worship at tho Jewish synagogue, at
Wilkesbarre, When the services were
about half through the two men rose up
in their pews and commenced to strike
each other. This created a great COM
motion among the other members of the
congregation and for awhile the house
of worship was in an uproar. The
rabbi came down from the pulpit and
separated the belligerents, not, however,
until they had exchanged several severe
blows. ROsenthal then left the building
and entered suit before a Justice of the
Peace, charging Zubunsby with assault
and battery. The latter brought a
counter suit before another Alderman.
RoSenthal accused Zubunsky Of being
more of a Christian than a Jew. The
latter resented and the fight followed.

The Ministerial and Sunday School

The Ministerial and Sunday School
Convention, of Allentown District East
Penn'a., Conference. of the Evangelical
Association, convened in the Evangeli-
cal church at Weissport on Tuesday
evening, June 2, 1885. The meeting
was well attended, all the itencrent
ministers of the district being present,
and the Sunday schools were well rep
resented by the laity. The various top
les assigned to the respective members
were carefully essayed, and presented to
the convention; many of them brought
out earnest and animated discussions,
which were carried on In the true
christian spirit.
y The Chileren's Meeting held on We'd
nesday evening was well attended, and
was grand success. The singing was
very spirited, and the young folks en-
joyed the OCCASION highly and the older
ones seemed to take their share of the
festivities
Rev. w. Schuler, of White Haven,
spoke to the scholars; Rev. A. S. Kline,
of Slatington, addressed the teachers,
and Rev. j. c. Bleim, of Allentown,
dealt out the portion designed TO reach
the parents, so that all got their respec-
tive share in the exercises. 1he pulpit
was beautifully decorated for the occa-
sion, and it reflects great credit on the
artist, Mr.. John Krause, for the taste
displayed. The background was raised
about four feet high in grand imitation
of natural rock which was mounted
with a heavy cross of snow-balls, lower
down was miniature fountain throwing
a stream of pure water about fifteen
inches high, surrounding the WHOLE were
living flowers of all colOrs in great per-
fusion, giving the whole a very inviting
aspect. Many, BOTH young and old,
fingered after the close of the services
to view this beautiful tableau.
The convention closed at 5 p. m, on
Thursday-most of the delegates leav-
ing on the evening trains. The general
sentiment of all who took part in the
meeting is that it was good to be there.

A Fish " gtory.n

Of us caught FIFTY-sEVENP' Later.
"Johnnie, how many fish did you get?"
Johnnie: "Fjtty-seren! We did honest,

what luck did you have on Saturday,
George?'' George: ooh, we caught
F-I-F-T- -Y-S-E-V-E-N trout and few
other fish; We did for a fact" Whilst
we do not doubt the veracity Of the con-
versation, we think it strange that no
one, outside of the three amateur fish
ermen, saw TIE fifty-seyen TROUT.
LATER. Since the above has been in
type telephone message from Pine
Creek informs us that the actual "catch'
was THREE-two trout and one sucker!

swindled BY Padrones.

A Pottsville despatch, dated on the
9th inst, says: every day brings
forth fresh evidence of the rascally deal
ings OF the Italian padrones with the
poor iaborers they have brought into
this region to work on the railroads.
They charged them seven dollars rail-
road fare from New York for riding in
cattle Gays, whereas the first-class fare
is but four dollars. Each man signed q
contract before leaving to pay the
padrOne three dollars for getting the
job. They now claim that they were
deceived as to the wages they were to
get. The strikers Saturday Intercepted
large body of their countrymen who
had been brought here to take their
places and induced them not to go TO
work. Meanwhile the vicinity of the
contractors office was besieged all day
by strikers claiming the three dollars
bonus. 1t is withheld until the validity
OF the contract is tested by the courts. "

EANbAASu'
Some four or five years ago DR.. 4. d.
Koons, now of Macungie, then living
somewhere up country, made the
acquaintance of one of the handsomest
OF Carbon coGnty's daughters in the
person of Miss Annie Ziegenfuss,
daughter of ex-Sheriff Reuben Ziegen-
fuss, farmer residing near the Lehigb
Gap, and after brief courtship they
were married. They soon after moved
to Macungie, and Cor time got along
smoothly, as all newly married couples
do, but later on the demon OF discord
came into the household, serious dis
agreements were matters of frequent
occurrence, and the Koons domicile
divided against itself Their troubles
were ever present, and finally there was
a breakup, the wife, with an only chilT,
going back under the parental roof.
She later instituted proceedings for
maintenance in the Carbon county court,
but the husband made defence on the
ground of deseTtiOn on her part without
cause, and by large number Of Witnesses
from Macungie proved good treatment
and proper support of her on his part,
and owing TO which the application was
refused, The wife continued TO live
with her parents, and the husband some
time ago in turn instituted proceedings
for a divorce from the wife In the Lehig gh

BEER gardens and picnics do not
tend to lead to good results when
taken together Not long ago, at a
beer garden picnic in Wilmington,
one man becoming crazed with
drink, shot and instantly killed Of
ficer Peterson. The same pay was
nearly reacted last Saturday night or
Sunday morning. There is two
sides tosthe story, always, and we
leave higher tribunal to Judge as
to the guilt or innocence of this
man Becker, the slayer of young
McGinness. The killing of Peter
son by Davis should have been a
terrible warning to men, but the
murder had not ceased being talked
of before the news is flashed from
city to city that a second murder
had been committed. Wilmington
must make a dividing line between
beer and picnics, as the two do not
work together, except to deal death
to some mortal.
