Meetings of the Clerks and Proprfe-

 Goods EstAbl1shments-A Oommlteee
 to Walt Upon M. Bremen.
 The salesmen in the Rentlemen's furnishing stores, hat stores and clothing stores held e meeting last night at the Tontins hotel to take action on the movement for early cles. ing. The propristors also held meeting for the same purpose at the same place. |
 No action was taken by the salssmsn. There were but few in attendance. but the prevailing sentiment was in favor of the early closing plan. .zeS The proprietors, at their meeting, appoint ed committee to wait upon N. Brenner. of M. Brenner & Sons, gentlemens furnishers, to persuade this firm to come into the move. ment. It is stated that M. Brenner q Sons were among the first to adopt the early clos. ing scheme, and abandoned 1t after the principal dealers began to clsss early. The other dealers who keep open, Burlington q Cobb, George K. Dudley, N. Lambert, Hatters Wattsrson 1t is stated, to close provided M. Brenner & Sons will close. Another meeting will be held Monday evening, at which this commit- tee will report the result of it's visit.
 Some of the dissenting dealers declare they will not close anyway. The two hat dealers are among this number. The cloth ing dealers state in retaliation that they will both keep open evenings and run largo line of hats provided the matters do not come to terms. In this way, instead of making money as they expect to by keeping open while the large dealers are closed, they will lose money by the increased competitions which will be inaupHrated

THE w1LKEsBARRE HORROR.

THE wILKEsBARRE HORROR. Work Resumed Early Yesterday Morn- ing in Searching for tho Bodies-Six Remain In the Fatal Chamber-Nine- teen Corpses RecOyered-The Work of Rescue Abandoned at Eight O'clock Last Evening. WILKEsBARRE, Pa, May 16. = Ex- ploring parties have penetrated the mine at Ashley and find nineteen dead. Fire Boss Allen, who was rescued alive last night, died at Il o'clock this morning.
 The work of attempting.to rescue the im- prisoned miners at Ashley was interrupted
 by heavy rush of gas at 3 o'clock this
 morning. At 2 o'clock 1t was deemed par- tially safe to resume the efforts to rescue the | men.
 Many of the bodies have no heads, others | are entirely nude, and most of them are
 mangled and disfgured. Those in charge of
 removing bodies from the mine have found
 considerable difficulty in identifying many
 of the victims. Every working is
 filled with explosive gas and deadly black
 damp. At 6 o'clock this morning another
 party attempted to enter the slope and pro-
 ceeded distance of three hundred feet, when they were driven back. The slope is the return current of the air, and all gases
 are blown in the faces of those who attempt ed to enter. At 8 o'clock this evening all operations at the mines were aban- doned. There are yet six men in the fatal chamber. They are
 Michael and John Scally, Robert Richards, Michael Henry, Richard Jones and Joshua Williams. At eight o'clock to-morning operations will be resumed and the work of
 rescue pushed forward with intermission l until the remaining bodies have been recove cred. Six mules were taken out alive late
 this afternoon. The bodies of five Polanders were buried this afternoon, no one having appeared to claim them. The cause of the
 cave-in is believed to have been the excessive
 amount of coal removed, not sufficient being left to carry the superincumbent rock. The roof was especially dangerous because of it's being but thirty to sixty feet in thick l ness, permitting of local settlements. Fre- quent comment is made on the fact that 1 this accident. like many others of recent
 occurrence, is due to carelessness on the part of . subordinate mine official, in
 this case fire boss. Although they
 are employed because of their cautious
 ness and experience they have been the very ones to imperil their own lives and those of
 others by acts of marked foolhardiness. Only week ago two fire bosses were con- victed of criminal carelessness and were fined by the court $50 each, and another is
 now awaiting trial, while several others have
 lost their lives along with their fellow work

A Discussion of sssisterhoods."

The attention of members of the Episco- pal church has been recently drawn to the subject of Sisterhood in that communion. These organizations, which began on a very small scale have of late increased rapidly in numbers and influence, both in this country and in England. The subject has been under discussion in the convooation of the English church, whose representatives decided that religious orders of men and women must receive official recognition. Much good work has been done by them in various parts of the United States, but it is carried on 80 quietly that but little is known of it outside of the immediate sphere of the influence of any community. A notice Is in circulation signed by Mrs. Harwood, Mrs. w. H. Carmalt, and Mrs. s. B. Morgan inviting all persons who wish for information on this branch of women's work in the Episcopal church to listen to an address on the subject of Sisterhood at 57 Elm street, on Tuesday, May 20th, at p. m. The address will be given by Mrs. Frederic R. Honey, who Is especially interested in the Community of St. Mary, New York. The sisters of this order have been engaged in educational work, and in hospital and parochial work amongst the poor for the past twenty five years, and their value is widely recognized. A cordial in- vitation is extended to any persons who may wish to be present on Tuesday next.
