The following despatch from Pottsville
is taken from the Philadelphia Press of
Tuesday:
Two men, who gave their names as
John McClintock and James M. Brown,
arrived here on Saturday night. They
applied to Rev. J. M. Rinker, pastor of
the Evangelical Church, for lodging,
claiming that they were members of a
new evangelizing mission band known
as Heavenly Recruits" and that they
had sold out their business in Philadel-
phia at command from on high to go
out into the world and work miracles by
faith. The pastor refused to keep them,
but they obtained from him the names
of some sick persons on whom they call
ed late that night. Near midnight they
obtained entrance to private boarding
house, stating that Mr.. Rinker had sent
them.
On Sunday they made themselves
conspicuous in several churches by their
hearty calculations and interruptions in
the services. Sunday night they at
tempted to cure Mrs. Stager, a bed-ridden
paralytic, by prayer and song, which
kept the neighborhood aroused. This
morning they left for Freeland, giving
the landlady to understand that the
Lord would settle with her for their
board. They are believed to be fanatics
rather than beats. Look out for them.

Fosters Supervisors Contest Settled.

AT the late spring election William
Jenkins and John Trimble ran on the
Republican ticket for the office of SUPER
visor in Foster township, while Hugh
Brogan and John McCauley were their
opponents on the Democratic ticket.
The result of the election was that Mr.,
Brogan was elected by large majority.
Mr.. jenkins having majority of three
votes of Trimble, and being the next
highest to Brogan filed his bonds with
the Township Auditors, which were ac-
cepted and filed. Mr.. Trimble also filed
his bonds and took the oath of office
but were not accepted by the Auditors.
Not to be left he began work on the
roads, going SO far as to hire others be-
sides himself and has continued to work
on them more or less up to last Thurs
day, when the case came up in court for
final settlement.
Mr.. Jenkins being in possession of the
order books and continuing to exercise
the duties of the office, the only course
to do by Trimble was to have writ of
quo maaranto issued, which was done.
and served on Jenkins, calling upon
him to show by what authority he
held the office. Mr.. jenkins filed
his answer, together with the affi-
davits of the election officers of the
Woodside poll (where the irregularity
was supposed to have occurred), and the
case was before the court several times
since.
Judge Rice, in giving his decision, read
very lengthy article, in which he re-
viewed the whole case, and summed up
by declaring VIM. jenkins, the defen-
dant in the case, as being duly elected
and as such entitled to hold the office,

The anthracite coal trade has not
been more dull at this season for many

ing. But it is all well known to the trade
that considerable quantity of coal has
been stored by several of the producing
companies at interior points awaiting a
revival of activity in the demand for the
domestic sizes, for which there is little
inquiry at present, and, besides, much
coal has been forwarded to Eastern and
Western distributing points, from whence
the requirements of the trade can be
more readily supplied when the demand
for coal improved later in the year. The
individual operators are complaining of
the unusual scarcity of orders for coal,
and are comforting themselves in the
knowledge that only one more month of
summer remains and in the hopeful an
ticipation that the fall and winter season
must bring to them the orders for coal
which have been so long delayed, and
that an increased demand for coal will
warrant an increase in the selling prices
to profitable point. They also argue
that, as the past two winter seasons have
been SO mild, the coming winter must be
colder and consequently the consump-
tion of domestic fuel will also increase

wss very sore from her fall, and sick on
accounting Of her ducking, and Prof.
Hawkins, under whose management the
a3censiona are given, refused to let her
go up, although she was willing to try
it. Arthur Davis, another nronant with
the party, made the ascent, and it WAS
watched with intense interest. He rose
over 400 feet, and ioated slowly north
eastward, performing on his trapeze at
that dizzy height. The wind was not
strong, but blew him toward the river.
just as he reached a point above the
race course, lie let the parachute 60, and
fell, narrowly escaping being impaled on
the high fence east OF the track, He es.
capped uniniured.
The balloon sailed slowly toward the
suspension bridge. After being up per.
haps five minutes, it turned bottom up,
and the hot air escaping, it fell into the
river near the bridge.
Long before the work OF initiating the
balloon began, every spot ON the city
shore that could accommodate crowd
was occupied. Along the river front in
the Filth and Sixth ward there were
great assemblages, and even on the hill
top the people gathered in considerable
numbers. The balloon gave them a
good free show.
