Eureka D.moo.as,c Convention

Eureka Democvatic Convention.
The Democratic County Convention
which met at the Eureka Opera House
last Tuesday selected a first class
ticket. Nominations for Assembly
men were passed, there having been
no candidates for honors, and as U. 5.
Senator Jones has no Democratic APP
position, and his reelection is con-
ceded, it is not probable that any
Democratic candidates for the Assem-
bly will be presented. An intense in
terest was manifested during the
rcesses by the respective friends
of the candidates for Sheriff
and District Attorney but
harmony prevailed during the entire
sessions Of the Convention, and its
business was conducted in a most
orderly ann and with unusual dis
patch. Tho nomination for Recorder
was passed, as no person was offered
as a candidate, and the probabilities
are that the County Central Com
mittee will not make any nomination
for that office. The whole ticket
stands a good chance for election.

A Monument to Philip Ginter.

A meeting to formulate programme
for the celebration of the Tooth anniver-
sary of the discovery of anthracite coal
by Philip Ginter, was held in Summit
Hill Tuesday evening. The meeting
was held in pursuance of resolution of
the Town Council of Summit Hill Bor-
ough, declaring that this important event
in the history of Pennsylvania be duly
celebrated. The proposed commemora-
ton contemplates the erection of a
monument to Ginter and an imposing
demonstration at its completion in Sep
tember, 1891.
At the meeting Tuesday night repre-
sentative citizens from Mauch Chunk,
Lansford and Summit Hill were present
Among other interesting letters favoring
the project was one from Hon. Eckley
B. Coke, who expressed himself much
pleased that the movement had been
inaugurated, and promised to aid it in
every way in his power. 1t was decided
that the Town Council of Summit Hill be
the executive committee and have entire
of the celebration; also, that
there shall be general committee, rep
resentative of the anthracite coal region
of the Lehigh Valley. OF this latter
committee w. ID. Zehner, of Lansford,
was made chairman.
Another meeting will be held in the
Court House, at Mauch Chunk, on
Thursday, August 2S, when the member
ship of the committee will be completed.

A One Hundred Dollar Foot Race.

The foot race between Dougherty and
Coleman came off at Eckley on Saturday
last and was witnessed by over four hun
dred people, The distance was about
100 yards and the stakes were $25. 90 a
side. Promptly at $50 p. m. both men
appeared on the scratch, and at the snap
of a pistol made the start, Coleman tax
ing the lead and maintaining it until the
first sixty yards were covered, when
Dougherty took the lead and held it un-
til the finish, winning by yard.
Hugh Dennion acted as stakeholder,
James Shearon and Jed Murphy as
referees, with John Evans as pistol firer.
Bets were freely made, the feeling being
slightly in favor of Dougherty. Cole
mans friends were not slow with their
money, and quite pile of it changed
hands.
Arrangements have been completed
for another race of one hundred yards
between the same parties. This race
will take place at Hazleton on October
10, and the stakes are 500 side.

Weekly Coal Report.

The aspect of the anthracite coal
trade continues discouraging, and mat
ters are dragging along in a fashion that
gives little satisfaction to operators. The
public are not buying coal and the mar
ket becomes more and more overstocked.
This week there has been radical
movement for reduced output. Besides
the collieries that have been shut down,
the Feast of the Assumption on Friday
made an almost universal holiday in the
Schuylkill region. This will shorten pro-
duction for all the companies, and par
ticularly for the Reading and Lehigh Val
ley Railroads which have been the heav-
lest miners and shippers. There is
absolutely no change in the anthracite
situation or outlook since last week.
What the trade wants is wave of arctic
weather that will induce consumers to
buy coal, and until something like it
comes and creates a buying movement
the congested condition of the coal mar
ket will continue. Even the coal agents
are affected by the prevailing stagnation,
for they seem to have intermitted their
usual meetings to go through the farce of
pretending to advance prices that will
not stay up. ltappears from Statistican
Jones's figures that the July allotment
was but slightly exceeded, 1910, ,O7S tons
being mined when the allotment was 81
millions. 4etthe company could hardly
market this, and careful investigation
shows slight increase in the amount at
the shipping ports at the close of July
compared with the beginning of the
month, and that there was about 400, 600
tons of coal less marketed in July than
in July, 1889, while production this year
is only 282,SlS tons behind the same
date last year, The policy now being
pursued seems to be the limiting of the
aggregate production to an average of
about l25, 900 tons per day.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
August 8, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was 796, ,445 tons,
compared with 7S5, ,399 tons in the cores
ponding week last year, an increase of
IL ,O46 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1890
was 10, ,679, ,00s tons compared with $780,
S26 tons for the same period last year,
decrease of 2S2, ,SlS tons.-Ledger,

AT five O'Clock Tuesday afternoon the
most terrible cyclone that was ever ex-
perienced in this state struck Wilkes
Barre. From what point it originated is
not known. The suddenness Of its COM
ing was one of its most awful features.
The heavens were as black as night and
the wind blew with most frightful velo-
city. Whole rows of trees were blown
down. Following this hundreds OF
houses were unroofed, partially blown
over or completely demolished, and
worse than all, the visitation of death
was sent upon number OF people.
Large districts in several sections of
the city are in absolute ruin, and the
damage will reach over one and half
million dollars. Passenger trains and
locomotives at the depot were blown
over, and everywhere in the city electric
light, telephone and telegraph poles are
down. The devastation is to be compar-
ed with nothing in the memory of the
oldest inhabitant.
Four men are known to have been
killed in the Hazard Wire Rope Works
A house on Scott street fell in and three
of the inmates were killed. The huge
stack of the Kyle planning mill fell on
man and two horses and all were killed.
Two little colored girls were killed by a
falling building on South Main street
Two men suffered death by the falling
pf portion of Stegmaier's brewery, and
a third incurred the same fate through
the almost complete demolition of S. l..
Browns business block on East Market
street.
The latest account places the loss of
life at seventeen. Several persons from
here visited the scene yesterday.
Many poor people have suffered heavy
losses, and the savings of years which
they had invested in homesteads were
wiped, out in ten minutes. Building
mechanics of all kinds can find employ
ment there for weeks to come, as it is
already known that fully 200 buildings
have been blown down or otherwise
damaged. Many of the structures were
of large size and great value.
SOME OF THE LOSSES.
Approximate losses only can be given,
as follows: Hazard Wire Rope Works,
$25, 600; S. l.. Brown, $50, ,000 st. Mary's
Catholic Church, $4,000; Malinkrodt
Convent, $4,000; Murray Shaft, $40, 600;
Hollenback Shaft, $4,000; White Haven
Ice Co., $4,000; Lehigh Valley Depot,
$4,000; Pennsylvania Railroad Company's
Round House, $4,000; Ahlborn's Pork
Packing House, $4,000; Paines Oil
House, $4,000; Dickson Manufacturing
Co., $4,000. In addition to these hun
dreds of citizens have suffered losses
running from $500 to $4,000.

George Kormany, Hungarian miner,
working at the stripping between Halle
Brook and the Lumber Yard, was in
stantly killed on Friday by piece of
coal falling on him. He was barring
some loose coal out of the face of the
work when the piece above him slipped
down without any warning and struck
him on the back, crushing the lower part
of his body fearfully. The men who

ried man, aged 33 years, and leaves a
wife and one child. He was considered
to be a very experienced miner, far more
so than the average of his countrymen,
and as such was selected for the work he
was engaged in, having held a miners
certificate. His funeral took place on
Sunday afternoon. Interment in the
Greek Catholic cemetery at Freeland.

On Monday afternoon Candidate Geo.
w. Delamater came to town from Halle
ton, where he acted as chairman of the
eisteddfod at that place Monday even
ing. He was accompanied by Messrs.
Markle, Troutman and Roderick, of
Hazleton, and held an impromptu recep-
ton at the Cottage Hotel. Many of the
local lights of both parties called upon
him and were pleasantly entertained.
The Knights of the Golden Eagle Band,
which was on its way to Hazleton, de-
livered a few selections in honor of the
candidate. Mr.. Delamater appeared
somewhat careworn and tired, owing
probably to the extensive personal can
vass the enemy is compelling him to
make. A movement to have Delamater
address Republican mass meeting at
this place in the course of a month or
two is spoken of.

For two hours and thlrty-fve minutes
last Sunday the eight hundred spectators
at the park were treated to an eXhibi-
ton of "yellow" ball playing. The
Allentown club made favorable i'm
preston while at practice, and good,
sharp game was expected. Instead of
this they became victims of bad case of
rattle" after the first inning, and when
they succeeded in casting off the spell in
the eighth Freeland' S score was up in the
teens. The fielding of the home club at
times was much below the average, but
they did some very good work at the
bat, Jennings and Boyle carrying off the
honors in that line. Freeland opened
the game and brought in one run in the
first inning. When the visitors got their
turn to use the stick they started off at a
winning gait and gagged Welch's deliy-
cry for five hits and the same number
of runs before being retired. Freeland's
second brought them nothing, while
Allentown added one more, making the
score 6-l in their favor. But it was in
this inning the visitors troubles began.
Gather Jennings took hand in the game
about this time and through his brilliant
coaching a victory was won. One after
another of the Allentown PLAYERS fell
victims to his captivating voice, and dur.
ing the next six innings they showed
what they didn't know about PLAYING
ball. One in the third inning, four in
the fourth, seven in the fifth, two in the
sixth and one in the seventh is the order
in which the sixteen runs were made bv
Freeland. Allentown added two more
to their score in the eighth, giving them
total of eight. Three twirlers were in
the box for the visitors, but none of them
could do anything to eyade the slaughter
With the exception of the first inning
Welch pitched very steady game.

Technical Violation of the Mine Law.

The hearing in the case of Daniel
Mcdonald, mine foreman in the en-
ploy of the D. & II. Co., charged with
violating the mine law, took place be-
fore Alderman Donohue, last Friday
evening, at Wilkes-Barre. 1t appears
that Mcdonald employed D. o. Pritch-
ard, lately of Highland, as a miner
without the latter having a miners
certificate, although he had foreman's
certificate which was produced, and it
was on the strength of the ceatificate
Mr.. Mcdonald hired Pritchard, thinking
of course that if man held foreman's
certificate he was competent to mine coal.
But the law said otherwise. AS it was
thought Mr.. Mcdonald had not wantonly
violated the law, the case was dismissed,
upon his promise to hire no more men
without miners certificate.
