Onr School Board.

We have been furnished with the fol-
lowing interesting items from the pro-
ceedings of the last meeting of our
School Board:
The following officers were elected for
the ensuing year: President-Dr. c. r..
Horn; Secretarv-F. P. Lentz-Treas-
urer-Daniel Wieand.
On motion it was decided to make the
next term of our schools nine months;
the term to commence on August 10th.
This is step forward in the right direc-
tion, and is evidence that the gentlemen
composing the board are of the right
metal.
The next act of the board Is equally
commendable, 1. e., the reelection of
Prof. j. Morris Roberts, who during the
latter part of The last term proved him
self so able and competent for the duties
of principal of our school. His salary
is fixed at so per month. For the
other grades the following compensation
was agreed upon: Grammar $40; In
termediate, S3S; Secondary, $50; 1st
Primary, $50; 2nd, 3rd and 4th Primary,
each S25 per month.

The Social Glass.-orand Success.


Our home talent scored another grand
success last Friday and Saturday even
ing's in the production of "The Social
Glass" five act drama, for the benefit
of Addie Sch9pe. The large hall was
crowded both evenings by people who
desired to encourage the noble work of
charity. The cast of characters were
immense. George Nusbaum, as Chas
Thornley,. the fast young man, was
good; Chas. Leimberger, as DR.. Slater,
a representative Of the medical profess
sion, acted well; J. Morris Roberts. as
Harold Hadley, great temperance ad-
vocate, expounded the 'cause" with
great success; George Sawyer, as John
Farley, proprietor of the Rising Sun
Hotel, handled the bottle to perfection
Alex. Bowman, as Bob Brittle, kept the
audience in good humor all through the
evening; Charley Harding, as James
Hollis, the crafty lawyer, went through
the business satisfactorily; Miss Mary
Ebbert, as Eva Thornley,, was a grand
success; Miss Sallie Raudenbush, as
Nettie Nettleby, the town gossip, and
the sunshine Of Bob Brittle's life, al
ways made her appearance in the nick
of time-because she "loved to make
people happy;" Miss Aggie Nusbaum,
as Mrs. Farley, was success. The
various characters were heartily APP
plauded all through the evening, which
was an evidence that it's rendition was
satisfactory to the audience.

A FrIghttul Hxplpslon in the IMMORAL

fIlGntIul Explosion IN the mineral
Spring colliery at Wilkesbarre.
The Mineral spring Colliery of the
Lehigh Valley Coal Company,at Wilkes
barre, was the scene of disastrous
explosion of mine gas Monday morning,
by which great damage was done to the
mine and six men terribly injured. One
died shortly after the accidentand others
are fatally injured. The names of the vic
Tins are: Patrick Joyce, aged 20, dead !;
Barney Farrell, Patrick Lawler. James
Hammond, John Reese and Michael
Corbey are. terribly burned and the
former has also several ribs broken.
Their injuries are fatal. The others
are all badly burned and much crushed
and bruised. Owing to the uncertainty
always attending burns of this nature 1t
cannot be said whether they will recover
or not.
The explosion occurred in a gangway
in process of construction in the lower
vein. The men injured were all en-
ployed under Farrell, who was the con-
tractor in driving the gangway, and went
to their work as usual about o'clock.
They were told at the foot of the shaft
that the fire boss, Thomas Thomas, had
examined the gangway and found all
safe. They therefore entered with naked
lights, but in few moments a terri
BILE explosion echoed through the mine.
A volume Of smoke and flame rushed
from the gangway with tremendous
force, carrying with 1t timbers and
wreck.
The explosion was heard all through
the mine and terrified miners. who were
just coming in to their work, fed for
their lives. The alarm was spread on
the surface and In few minutes the
colliery was surrounded by an excited
crowd, mostly the friends and families
of the men employed therein, who were
in terrible state of anxiety to find
out the extent of the accident.
The mine foreman James Evans, ,hav-
ing seen that all the men were out in
safety, except those in the gangway, got
together party Of rescuers and entered
the gangway. The light of their safety
lamps revealed terrible scene of de-
struction. The force of the explosion
had torn down all the props, timbering
and brattice work. Mine cars were
overturned and broken and the rails
torn up. In places masses of coal and
rock had been brought down from the
surface and scattered about. Among
the ruins were found the bodies of the
unfortunate, all terribly burned and
badly cut and bruised by the violence
with which they had been hurled about
by the explosion.

A Big Breaker Burned.

A Mt. Carmel despatch of the 5tll
inst, says: Alaska Breaker, operated
by the Philadelphia and Reading Coal
and Iron Company, together with the
saw-mill, was totally destroyed by fire
this evening. The theory is advanced
that roller shaft became hot and set
fire to the woodwork, while in other
quarters it is believed that one of the
employees lamps was allowed to hang
near timber saturated with oil. The
breaker was valued at one hundred
thousand dollars and shipped. when
working full handed, twenty-five thous-
and tons per month. Five hundred
hands were employed ard the payroll
reached twenty thousand dollars per
month. At the time of the fire a num-
Der OF men were working in the shaft,
directly under the breaker, and only
reached the surface few minutes be-
fore tbe burning tower fell into the
mines. Other. employees were notified
OF the danger and made their escape.
The eolliaY was the main support OF
the town.

The Borough Of Lehighton.

Inc borough OF Len1Rnt0n.
The improvements which have been
made around town so far this year have
been many, and property holders who
have made improvements, as well as
parties who have erected new dwellings.
deserve to be complimented on the
prompt manner in which they are carry
ing on the Summers work. On every
street some noticeable improve
ment can be seen which speaks as to
the thrift and cleanliness of our people.
We do not hesitate to say that a more
beautiful town cannot be found any
where in the Lehigh Valley, and why it
should not in short time become a
popular summer resort is hard to say.
The growing popularity of the town is
evident, as every Summer brings a new
and larger influx of people here-all of
whom sound its praise. Our hotel ac-
commodations are equal, if not superior,
to that found in many of the larger
towns in the valley; and this combined
with the beautiful scenery which sur
rounds the town makes it a desirable
location for people who, annually,s spend
a few months in the country.
As to its desirability for the location
of manufacturing industries we would
say that the State affords no better
Being on the line of the L. ", rs well
as i. & S. r. RS, its facilities in this
direction cannot be much improved.
a good Board of Trade organized here
who would make it business to in
crease the manufacturing industries,
would, in few years, greatly enhance
the value of real estate, &c. This can
easily be done; if a few of our monied
men would invest little of their super
flous cash in this direction. We hope
the day is not far distant when Lehigh
ton will be one of the busiest manufac-
turing towns in the valley. We would
invite parties from distance, who pro-
pose investing in manufacturing indus
tries to take look at Lehighton and its
many excellent facilities, and we feel
sure they will not pass us by.
