Sheppton, Schuylkill County, was the
scene of a stabbing affray at O'Clock
Friday afternoon. Four Hungarians
went to Timony's bottling establishment
and purchased a box of beer. They
took the beer into the woods and drank
it, The four men then returned to
the bottling establishment and started in
to demolish the contents of the place.
Edward Crampshie, who conducts the
business for Timony, with his assistant,
John Broderick, grappled with the men,
one of whom drew a large knife and
made three successful lunges at Cramp-
SHE. The knife penetrated his shoulder
and arm and just escaped his heart.
Crampshie fell, weak from the loss of
blood. The Hungarians believing him
dead at once took to the woods, starting
in the direction of Hazleton. Cramp-
she's wounds were dressed and he will
soon recover unless blood poisoning sets
in. The physician says had the one
wound in Crampshies side gone an inch
higher it would have struck the heart
and the result would have been fatal
The Huns escaped.

The last of the bodies of the entomb-
ed miners, who met their death at the
Lytle Colliery, near Minersyile, on
Wednesday of last week, were recover
ed Tuesday afternoon. Seven of the
Italians who were drowned in the tun-
mel were recovered, with that of John II g.
Ierbe, who was one of those in the car
when the fatal rush of water came.
Contractor Sadilla and two of his com.
panions were found near the bottom of
the slope. Giuseppe Tapero, one of the
Italians, was found at the bottom of the
slope. His countrymen say that he was
an expert swimmer. He evidently de-
pended on his skill in that direction to
save his life, and must have made his
way through the body of water from the
face of the tunnel to the bottom of the
slope, where he succumbed. The first
news that the bodies had been found
reached Minersville at late hour and
wild rush was made for the mines.
The scene at the mouth of the slope as
the bodies were brought to the surface
was pitiable one. The crowd was SO
dense that the rescuing party were hard
ly able to clear the way to the bathhouse,
where the bodies were prepared for
burial. The bodies will be inferred to.

Modern Cloud Compenefs.

A curious and interesting experiment
was tried early one morning at the jar
dine d'Acclimitation. Some ingenious
person has hit upon scheme for max
ing artificial clouds for the warming of
fields and preventing damage to crops.
A number of stoves had been placed ten
yards apart around the spot selected,
and when they were lighted thick
black smoke was produced. Unfortu-
nately for the success of the experiment,
there was too much wind, and the
"clouds" were dispersed Immediately,
the smoke being blown toward the in
closure occupied by the seals, who did
not seem at all to appreciate it.
1t is said that some experiments car
ried on in the Gironde were far more
successful, and that the system will be
largely used there to protect the vines.
1t is said that vineyard could be made
two or three degrees warmer. Several
officers attended the experiments yester-
day to see whether the process could be
utilized for military purposes.-Galig

Growing n New Hoof.

A singular condition has developed in
the buffalo herd at the Philadelphia Zoo.
Late in last year the hoof and mouth
disease affected the cattle of Europe
very seriously, and there were slight
visitations of it in this country. One of
these was at the Philadelphia Zoo among
the buffalo. Eight of the herd were
isolated. Since then the symptoms of
this disease have disappeared from all
but one of those isolated. This one,
however, has lost a hoof, and is now
hard at work raising new one, hobbling
around on three legs. This is the only
case on record in America of a buffalo
losing hoof and growing new one in
captivity.-St Louis Globe Democrat.

Applicants for Citizenship.

At Reading the other day nearly doz
en- foreigners appeared for naturalization.
Four were granted their papers. When
Judge Endlich asked the fifth who made
the laws of the United States, he replied
Harrison" and in reply to the question
as to who made the laws of this State, he
replied "Pattison." The next applicant,
who has been in this country since 1868,
said that President Harrison made the
laws but he didn't know who was COVER
nor and had never heard of the legisla-
ture or congress, saying that he "didn't
bother himself about such things" The
applications of both these men were re-
fused, and the others left without apply
ing for their papers.
