Carbon Democrats.

The Democratic county meeting at
Mauch Chunk on Monday was the largest
gathering in the history of the party in
the county. The contest between the
two factions that split the party last year
was still open and each put forth every
effort to have present all its adherents
division occurred in the selection of
the presiding officer, DIR. J. B. Zern be-
ing nominated by the Cassidy faction
and Hon. Allen Craig by the Esser fac
tion. On account of the packed condi-
tion of the court room, it was impossible
to decide to a certainty which faction
was in a majority. A wrangle ensued
that continued for an hour. Finally j. NJ.
Beidler, of Lehighton, was selected with
apparent unanimity, and the remainder
OF the proceedings were continued in
comparative peace and quiet.
The purpose of the meeting was to
name the committee men for the ensu-
ing year, and select the date for the
county convention. 1t was decided to
hold the convention on August 90 and
the primary elections on August 20.

Company at their meeting last night
appointed committee consisting of
Hon. w. R. Jeffreys, John B. Quigley,
James Kennedy and John M. Powell, 1st,
to look after the belts and equipments
belonging to the company, now in the
hands of former members. Persons
having any of the company's equipment
will confer a favor on it by handing
them to any of the committee. Two
dozen more caps were ordered
The fire plugs on the corner of Walnut
and Ridge streets and corner of Chestnut
and Centre streets were reported as being
in bad condition, necesstating the use of
tongs to prevent the cap from coming
off when attaching hose to them. The
matter was left to the chief and the
directors to procure such tongs at the
expense of the hose company.
The company will be well represented
at Hazleton, on the occasion of the state

A change of company doctors was
made recently at Humboldt, and the
new physician did not satisfy the people
there. The miners, who are charged
seventy-fve cents each month whether
they require his services or not, decided
not to pay this amount, and one of
them, Charles Riley, instituted test
suit against the company. The latter
lost the case and besides refunding the
money had to pay all the costs. The
operators, Linderman, Skeer u Co., then
shut down the colliery, presumably to
make repairs, but the miners think it is
meant to subdue them. On Monday
they went to Hazleton in a body, and
entered suits against the company for
the amount retained last month for the
DOCTORS services. The hearing will take
place on Saturday before Squire German.
The colliery is still idle.

THE LEGISLATIVE CONTEST.
North Side Democrats Want to See
Foster Given Il Chance.

On Saturday evening the Democrats
will elect delegates to the fourth legisla-
tive district convention, which meets at
Hazleton on Tuesday next. The polls
will be open from 4 to Z p NJ. There
are six candidates in the field for the
nomination, as follows: j. d. Myers,
Five Points; John J. McNelis, Drifton;
Hugh Sheridan, Jeanesville, James
Costello, Anthony Riley and Conrad
Haas, Hazleton. The elections in
nearly all the districts will be hotly
contested, and no idea of who is the
strongest candidate can be formed until
the delegates are elected.
The feeling among the voters in this
end of the district is that the nomina-
tion this year belongs to the North Side,
and if the Democrats have any intention
of trying to defeat Representative
Jeffreys they should give Foster town
ship some recognition for the rousing
majorities it rolls up every election day
for the candidates of the party.
While the Hazleton candidates may
be strong enough and well qualified for
the position, it is no reason that they
should step in this year and capture q
nomination which belongs to this end.
HaZleton had its opportunity two years
ago and failed to elect the candidate. If
there is to be any justice in the district
Foster will be given the next chance, or
the nominee, whoever it may be, can
rest assured that Jeffrey will receive
one of the largest majorities legislative
candidate could get in the district. The
Democrats on the North Side can re-
claim the district if they are given
show, or they can upset all the calcula-
tions and schemes which any ring
thrhsts upon them.

Only One Applicant Failed.

The miners examining board has
completed the work of reviewing the
answers to the questions of the appli-
cants for certificates. Out of the twelve
in the class all but one were granted the
document necessary to apply for situa-
ton as mine foreman. The man who
failed to pass was Mordecai Parry, of
Jeanesville.
member of the board told Plain
Speaker reporter that the intelligence of
the class just examined was remarkable.
In fact. he said, the knowledge some of
them possessed about mining and every
thing pertaining to it would entitle them
to certificate as mine inspector, let
alone that of a mine foreman.

On Monday night about II o'clock a
raid was made on the show case in front
of Wards photograph gallery. When
the thieves had extracted nearly all the
pictures from the case the noise they
made attracted the attention Of two
young men who were playing chess in
the gallery, and upon investigating they
caught them in the act and captured
them. The thieves were taken to the
gallery and held there until Mr.. Ward
returned about an hour later. The par
ties were from Jeddo, and after begging
piteously for mercy the proprietor of
the gallery allowed them to go upon pay
ing the damages and returning the stolen
photos.

BIG CHURCH STRIDES
INTERESTING DATA REVEALED BY
OUR LAST CENSUS.

The Twenty Million Communicates Own
142,256 Churches, Which Are Worth, in
Round Numbers, $63I, 900, ,OOO-The
Colored Organizations Swelling.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-Superintenden
Robert P. Porter makes public the prelim-
mary figures Of the church statistics of the
eleventh census, which are both curious and
interesting. There are shown to be in the
United States nearly 100 separate and dis
tinct church organizations holding to wide
ly different creeds, varying greatly in prac-
tice and representing all possible variations
of church polity.
There are a dozen different branches of
the Presbyterian family. There are some
denominations that will answer only to the
simplest, most indefinite title = for ex-
ample, the Brethren. There are various
churches that claim to be simply Brethren.
Four of these are branches of what are pop
ularly called Plymouth Brethren, but they
do not own the title plymouth" &or is
there any designation which they have
adopted by which these four bodies of Ply
mouth Brethren may be distinguished from
other brethren. There are two Reformed
churches, known as the reformed Church
in America" and the "Reformed Church in
the United States"
Some Peculiarities.
Some of the denominations were never
numbered before, and it required the
utmost powers of persuasion to induce
them to submit to the process. Sects have
BOD
than 100 communicates. Here are seven sects
which altogether number now only about
1000 persons, and yet own church edifices
worth $4,000: Shakers, Amananites, Men
MONTE, Harmony, Separatists, New Icarian
and Altruists. All societies observing the
communal life, whether founded on a re-
ligious or secular belief are embraced in the
returns. Two Of these societies are not re-
ligious, the Icarian and the Altruist, but are
organized to apply social principle.
After the seven great denominations
Congregational Lutheran, Methodist, Pres
byterian, Roman Catholic, Baptist and
Episcopal-have been accounted for, the
other 134 religious associations represent
less than 15 per cent. of the church edifces
and less than IL per cent of the aggregate
value of church property.
Some of the subdivisions of the Baptist
churches are peculiar. The uninitiated per-
son thinks it difficult to define the differ
ence between the Seventh Day and the six
principal Baptists, between the Mudhead
Baptists and the River Brethren, between
the Primitive and the Free Will, between
the Original Free Will and the old Two Seed
in Spirit, between the General and the Gen
eral Free viii. Besides these there are also
the Regular South Regular North and the
Regular Colored Baptists. The Society of
Friends are divided into the Orthodox and
the Hicksite, the Wilburite and the Primi-
tive branches There are seventeen or eight
cen different branches of the Lutheran
church in this country.

The value of church property for the same
nariod is as follows:
al l............. .ss7, ,446,sn so3l, ,22l, ,3O3

In point of number the Methodsts stood
first in 1850 and still retain the position.
Nearly third of all the church edifices
belong to the Methodist church, while the
Baptists can lay claim to more than one
quarter. Relatively speaking, the Episco-
pal church retains about the same position
to the other denominations as it did in
1850. On the other hand, the Roman Cath
olic church has advanced considerably, from
trife over per cent. of the total number
to over 6 per cent. In point of value, how
ever, the Catholic church has made still
greater strides, from an ownership of 101S
per cent. of all the church property to an
ownership of 1917 per cent In this respect
the Catholic church now ranks second in
importance, being exceeded only by the
Methodist church, which returns trifie
over 2019 per cent. of the total value. In
1850 the value of church property of four
denominations-Metho Presbyterian,
Baptist and Episcopal-outranked the
Catholic church in this respect
