ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsrArcHJ
SCoTTDALE. August 20.-The situation
in the coke region has now settled down to
a fight between the men and a few of the
smaller operators. The works still out are
the Wynn, Uniondale, Wheeler, MorrelI,
PAUL., Mahoning, Home, Grace, Great
Bluff, Fort Hill, Fairchance, Atlas and
Dexter. These works control a total oi
1851 ovens. 1t is claimed by the operators
that the Wynn works are run Independently
Of the Mammoth plant, and they are trying
every expedient to start without signing the
scale, with but little prospects of success.
The scale was signed this morning by B. f.
Keister & Co. and the Stewart Iron Co.
w. j. Rainey is making a desperate effort
TO keep his works running and avoid sign
ing the scale. The entire force of the
organization will aid the men at Rainey's
works. Provisions in abundance will be
sent them, as the organization is prepared
to keep up the fight for an indefinite period.
A call has been issued for a delegate meet
ing of Subdivision No. 4, K. of L., to be
held at this place next Tuesday.

Important Liquor Inv Decision by Judge
Yerllcs ut DoyIestown.
DoYLEsTowN, August 2O.-Judge Yerkes
read an important opinion in the matter of
the reapplication OF John Mcbride, of Bris-
tol, for a bottler's license. On the ground
of no necessity for the license the court re-
fused McBride's application at the last May
term, previous to the time the decision of
the Supreme Court was handed down in the
Allegheny case. On the strength of the
latter decision Mcbride presented petition
to the court praying for a reconsideration of
his application, confidently expecting the
license would be granted. But Judge
Yerkes, in his lengthy and able opinion
read to-day, refused to reconsider his former
refusal, holding that the Supreme Court de-
cision in the Allegheny case does not apply
to country districts. Following is an ab-
stract of the opinion:
The decision of the Supreme Court denyinr

SCRANTON'S WRECKED BANK.

JRdEe Counolly's Decision in Its Favor
Arouses the Stockholders TO Action.
SCRANTON, August 2O.-Judge Connolly,
in the case of the Peoples Street Railway
against the Scranton City Bank, recently
wrecked by Cashier George A. Jessup,
ruled that the act of 1850 does not apply to
savings and deposit banks, and the directors
are not obliged to render a statement of the
banks affairs. and cited that the rulings OF
Judge Thayer in the Sbackamaxou Bank
case should be followed.
The decision has aroused the heaviest de-
posItors to taking a determined stand
toward having the defaulting cashier and
the directors punished, and a meeting will
be held during the week to push the matter
before the next grand jury.
Assignee Gunster says the money derived
from the recent sale of Jessup's coal lands
have not vet accrued to the bank, the sig
nature of Mrs. Colonel Tripp, who Is in
Cali ornia, being necessary to the deeds be-
fore the transfer of the lands can be made.
and in view OF this it is possible the depos-
itors will receive none of their money before
next January.

The Flood Sufferers iu West Virginia Are

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsPArCHI
PARKERsBURG, w. VA, August 90
The victims of the recent disastrous food on
Tucker, Tygart, State, Little Sandy and
other creek valleys are, many of them, in
sad need of help. They are houseless and
homeless, and but for the charity of their
once poorer neighbors, the hill farmers, the
suffering would be terrible. AS it is, the
drain upon the resources of the farming
communities which escaped the flood is too
great to be long withstood. The towns and
villages are doing all In their power to re-
ieve them, but their assistance is entirely
inadequate.
While the deprivations and suffering is
great at this time, it will probably be greater
within few weeks, when the weather gets
colder. There are miles of desolate terri
tory, with scarcely house left standing and
not vestige of crops. The homeless women
and children are scattered among the hill
farmers, while the men are searching for
work over the desolate country. Taken
altogether, the outlook for these poor people
during the coming winter is gloomy one.

A MILD COLLISION,
Two Engines Collide at Twcnty- Fourth
Street With Minor Injuries.

Two Engines Collide nt Twcnty- Fourth
Street With Minor Injuries.
About 1:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon, as
Allegheny Valley engine No. %, drawing a
heavy freight train, was crossing at Twenty
fourth street from No. to No. 2 track, it
collided with engine No. o. of the Pitts
burg, Cincinnati and ST. Louis Railroad,
which was travelling along the track. The
Allegheny Valley engine was seriously
damaged, the cab being thrown completely
out of position. The boiler was lifted from
its bed, and a number of bolts knocked out
which made an escape for the steam. The
levers and other instruments connected with
the engine were all broken, but fortunately
the engineer and fireman escaped uniniured.
The wrecked engine was taken to the Valley
shops, where 1t will have to undergo
thorough repairs. One of the Pittsburg,
Cincinnati and st. Louis Railroad cars,
loaded with Indian corn, had its contents
strewn over considerable territory.

There is a universal feeling in this commun-

lar fully equipped for his thieving
business. Finding nothing in the
money drawers, one of which he pried
open, he proceeded to the safe and
commenced to drill preparatory to
blowing it open. He had drilled
about through the outer covering when
discovered. The discovery was made
by town clerk Tyler who happened
to wake and noticed a flash of light
that attracted his attention. Upon
getting up he soon discovered that
some one was in the store. He at
once dressed himself and went to Mr..
Chase's house, going the back way,
and aroused him and his two clerks,
Landman and Greenwood. Mr.. ~
Ter hastily organized his forces and
made dash for the store, Landman
and Chase going for the back door
and Greenwood and Tyler to the
front. Greenwood at once entered
the store. Mr.. burglar seeing that
he was discovered fed to the back
door and jumped against Landman
knocking him down, but Will was up
and after him in half a jiffy and
caught him just as he entered the
bridge. In less than no time Green

Sermon by Rev. Mr.. Dugan last
Sabbath was from the text "And
they all began with one accord to
make excuses" Every one, he says,
can always find an excuse whenever
he desires to shirk a duty. When
you hear person voluntarily making
excuses you may know pretty well
that he has guilty conscience. "The
wicked flee when no man pursueth. "
If only fraction of the strength was
spent in performing duty that is
wasted in trying to shun it, how much
nearer heaven we should be. But
the time will surely come when we
shall be called upon to render an ac-
count for the manner in which we
have made use of Gods privileges
and there, friend, this thin veil of ex-
cuses will be swept away. You will
be judged not only for what you dc
