only eight miles from Cape May, which
latter place can be reached easily by boat
or train. The beach at Wildwood is the
finest and safest l ever struck. You
may safely go out a couple of hundred
yards or more and find that the water is
only up TO your armpits. There is pier
reaching far out into the ocean where
you can get the full benefit of the sea
breeze at any time. A large pavilion
seating thousands of persons is erected
along the beach.
The effect of the salt and mountain air
combined was distinctly felt by all before
we were there very long, and we dis
covered that our appetites were improv-
ing to such an extent that some of the par
ty became somewhat alarmed for fear the
supply of grub at "Silver Dean" would
run short, but our landlady was equal to
the occasion and pulled us through very
nicely, supplying every want of the
inner man. Three square meals were
ready for us every day, and, strange to
say, we were always ready for the meals.
We were much benefited by our short
stay at that place, and to any one who
desirs to secnre all the advantages of
seaside resort at nominal cost would
recommend Wildwood. p.

Meeting of Miners.

The mass meeting of the Amalgamated
Association of Miners and Mine Laborers,
which was to be held at Shamokin on
Saturday evening, has been postponed
until July 8. The inability of the
speakers selected for the rally to attend
is assigned as the cause for change in
the date. There is strong effort being
made to organize the miners. There is
a wide difference of opinion as to what
course the men will pursue. Some are
In favor of forming secret organization,
while others seem to favor an open
union, something similar to the old w.
b. A. The leaders do not favor this,
and seem to be afraid to identify them
selves with the cause.

Lively Time at a Pay Office.

At the Jeddo pay office on Thursday
there was a lively time, caused by a
Hungarian attempting to draw another's
pay under an assumed name. He was
caught in the act by Policeman Seiwell,
who arrested him. Another Hungarian
protested against the arrest, as unjust,
and Seiwell tried to arrest him also, but
the Hun escaped, Seiwell using his
revolver without effect. The Hun was
taken before Squire Weiss and given a
hearing. The next morning the man
who escaped was arrested, brought
before the squire, where he was tried
and fined the full extent of the law,

WESTWARD,
Murdered ut Lattimer.

Coal and Iron Policeman Hampton
and Cook were here this morning trying
to trace an Italian named Lawrence
Ricci, who murdered countryman,
Fedila Pappan, at Lattimer yesterday.
The trouble occurred at a christening
last night, which ended in a general
fight among the guests. Ricci began
shooting and after failing to hit Pappan
with three shots he pulled stiletto and
ripped open his victim, who died shortly
after. In company with his three
prothers, aged IL, 10 and "a years, he
left Lattimer, but the officers have sent
word in every direction to have him ar
rested. Policeman Hampton describes
the murderer as man about 80 years
old, light mustache, scar on forehead,
wore striped pants and soft hat. Deputy
Coroner Buckley left this morning for
Lattimer to hold an inquest on Pappan.

Burned by Powder,

A number of young boys in the upper
end of town purchased FIVE cents worth
of gunpowder on Saturday afternoon for
to use in a small cannon, which they
had procured to celebrate the Fourth.
While lighting the cannon one of them
ccarelessly dropped a piece of "punk"
into, the can containing the powder. 1t
exploded instantly, severely burning
James O'Donnell, son of Hugh O'Don-
nell, and Maurice Boyle, son of Hugh
Boyle, and few other little fellows
were touched up by the blaze. The two
named were taken to their homes on
Walnut street, and after being examined
by physicians were removed to Hazleton
hospital Their injuries, while not
serious, are very painful.

Not many years ago this was a desirable

County Conventions,

The Neacsdealer says the Democratic
county convention will probably be held
some time in August. Probably either
the 10Th or 23d of that month will be
the date set. The standing committee
will meet this week, agree upon the date
and issue the call. An early date will
be necessary as under the new ballot law
the nominations for Office will have to
be certified to the secretary of the com.
monwealth sixty days before election, so
as to allow sufficient time for the print
ing of the tidkets. The Republicans

Passenger Service on the d. S. & s.

On Friday morning the first regular
passenger train was run over the Dele
ware, Susquehanna and Schuylkill Rail-
road from Drifton to Sheppton. This
with the expectations of the public, and
goes to show that the new road is des.
tined to be something greater than
mere coal branch of the Reading system.
The train is in charge of Conductor
Joe Smith, and twenty-eight passengers
were carried the first day. The service
and accommodations are not yet what
the officials intend making them, but af.
ter the road secures its own passenger cars
1t will probably develope the trade along
the line much better than at present.
The proposed extension to Freeland
would give the road great boom around
here, especially if Sunday trains were
run at convenient hours from Hazleton
and the South Side. Following is the
time table of the passenger service:

duced the borough councils of st. Clair,
Port Carbon, Palo Alto and Schuylkill
Haven, all of whicn would loose heavily
should any of the Pottsville Water Com
pany's dams burst, to appoint commit
tees to meet next Wednesday to formu-
late plans for their protection from any
danger from this source in the future.
They demand the drawing off of ten feet
of water from the Moree dam, the largest
OF the four, covering over ninety three
acres, with its attendant immense body
of water. The company contends, how
ever, that on account of its shallowness
and immense breast, that it would be
impossible for it to give way.

Introduction of Merinos Into Australia.
The history of Australian wool growing
began in 1898, when Mr.. John Macarthur,
of Sydney, landed at that pore herd OF
eight fine wooled sheep from the Cape of
Good Hope The success which crowned
his venture, in the shape of a rapid improve
ment in the quantity and quality of the
wool that these sheep produced, was so
great that Mr.. Macarthur ten years later
sailed for Europe to secure some specimens
of Spanish merinos, for which he believed
the hot, dry climate of pastoral Australia
was particularly adapted. The Spaniards,
however, knew the value of their flocks
and had made the expectation of merinos
capital offense. Therefore the Austria
lian Jason, disappointed in his quest fol
this fleece, which, if not itself golden, he
believed would put much gold into his
pocket, returned to England where his en-
thusiastic accounts of Australia reached
the interested ears of the farmer king
George III.
AS McArthur's luck would have it, tht
king, some years before, had been pre-
sented by his cousin of Spain with pair O
the finest of these merinos, and from tn,
increase thereof he graciously gave to tn
Australian four splendid animals, will
which he set sail rejoicing. These higl
bred sheep landed safely in Australia ant
fully realized all the expectations of thei
owner They improved the grade of woo
and so increased and multiplied that, q
the end of 1890, their progeny had sprea'
all over Australia, Tasmania and New
Zealand and numbered 101, ,267,0S4 ind
viduals, representing, with the land upo
which they pastured, at least e4O0,0OO,Oo(

THE MIAMI AND ERIE cANiL.
The Supply Of Water Ample for the Pro
posed Ship CannI.

The supply Of Water Ample for the PTO-
posed Ship Canal.
NEW BREMEN, O., Feb. 29.-The re-
vival of the question of enlarging the
Miami and Erie canal into a ship canal
has brought forth much comment pro
and con in favor of the project in this
vicinity. The main subject for consid-
Grafton in this momentous project is the
supply of sufficient water for the sum
NIT level. Many miSstatements are
ahoat concerning this item. New Bre-
men is situated on the summit level
Lock No. 1, toward Toledo, being in the
center of town. The summit level, with
feeders, is thirty-two miles long, the
summit proper being twenty-five miles
long.
The information extant here concern
ing the topography of the canal and the
water supply is such as to warrant safe
procedure in the project. The water in
the summit level of the Miama and Erie
canal is greatly wasted. Positively 70
per cent. of the supply finds its way
through waste weirs and leakages in the
banks. The Miami river near Fort JEFF
ferson feeds the canal right below tFe
summit level, and it would require little
effort to elevate its bed to allow the
water to run into the summit. Besides
the Loramie reservoir feeds the canal six
miles south of here. When the ship
canal is once filled, it would not require
much more water to feed it than it does
now. The locks of the present canal are
also great waste gates to the supply.
| Reports concerning the meager supply
of water in the present summit level,
are necessarily founded on many mi7-
guided statements. 1t is a fact that
great care must be exercised by canal
officers in time of heavy rains to avoid
breakages in the banks. There is a
sluice gate at Loramies and Port Jeffe~-
erson, which is used for this purpose.
The canal of the present day is in such
a condition that it is dangerous to per-
init the full supply of water in it. Old
canal men have ridiculed the reports II
the ineffciency of the water supply, and
on the contrary strongly advocate the
project. I
