CORONER'S
INQUEST.
Che DOnavan and SarOkO Cases
Investigated Last Night.
VERDICTS OF THE JURY !
The Crew Of the Train That Killed
SarOkO is EXOnerated From Blame
For the Death.

Deputy Coroner Manley and a jury
composed of P. J. Monaghan, John Scan
Ian, James Dewitt, Harry Reilly, Patrick
Connors and j. H. Manley last night held
inquests on the bodies of James Donavan,
who was killed in the Shenandoah City
colliery on Friday, and Andrew Saroko,
whu met his death on the Lehigh Valley
railroad yesterday morning.
In the Donavan case the testimony was
brief and the particulars adduced were
substantially as reported by the HERALD
Friday evening, that the piece of coal
which killed the man had been pried
about two hours before it fell and could
not be dislodged. It fell without warn.
ing while Donavan was under it loading
buggy.
After short deliberation the jury rem
dered verdict finding that the deceased
''came to his death by fall Of coal in a
breast at the Shenandoah City colliery,
and was accidental"
The jury then proceeded to consider the
Saroko case and examined Edward Ford,
Benjamin Waters and Zachariah Guldner,
the conductor, engineer and fireman of
the train that struck the man.
The most material evidence was that of
the engineer, who testified that when the
train was about sixty yards distant Saroko
stood on the westbound track and was
talking to man who stood on the em-
bankment. The train was approaching
on the eastbound track. The whistle
was blown and other precautions were
taken by the engineer, but when the train
was about six feet away the deceased
stepped forward to the eastbound track
and Immediately in front of the engine.
Almost at the same moment the man was
struck and hurled down an embankment.
The jury concluded that death was
caused by being struck on the Lehigh
Valley railroad by engine No. 341 draw
ing passenger train, and was accidental" "

THE PUBLIC
WATER WORKS
Contract For the Boiler and Engine
House Again Awarded.
NEW BIDS WERE PUT IN
The Reason Why the Men Who FirSt
Got the Contract Threw 1t Up-COun-
cilmanic Trip Tomorrow.

The Borough Council is holding meet
ings with frequency that disgusts and
tires many of the member and has caused
Clerk Cardin to threaten to strike for
more wages. The meetings are averaging
two week and If the water works are
not soon completed there will be general
kick against the time which is required
to attend to the affairs in connection with
them.
The meeting last night was a special
one to reconsider the awarding Of the con-
tract for the erection of the boiler and en-
gine house at the Brandonville reservoir.
Messrs. Lingham & Morris were awarded
the contract on bid of $2,34O, but threw
it up because they discovered a mistake
had been made in the estimated cost OF
material.
Under instructions of Council new bids
were asked for and they were opened last
night. The Shenandoah Feed and Lum
Der Company bed g., 600 and got the con
tract. Jesse B. Davis bid s., ,s25 and Burn
and Schoppe $500.
Contractor William McAdams presented
bond in the sum of $1,000 as a guarantee
that the work Mr.. McAdams is doing a
the storage reservoir will be satisfactor!
and the bond was approved. The SAT
Deposit Bank of PottsYille is the suret!
on the bond.
Mr.. McAdams at the same time STATED
that the repairs to the breastwork of tn
Davis Run reservoir had been completed
and tomorrow the Councilmen will pro
ceed to the place in carriages and inspec
the work. Mr.. McAdams' bill of $500
for work done on the reservoirs durinI
the past month was paid.l

THE DISCIPLINE.
Latitude Of the Esher-BOwmanite Clergy
Powers.

Powers.
EDITOR HERALD In a recent interview
with a reporter of your paper Rev. New
hart, of Pottsville, said the present ad-
herents OF Bishop Dubs could remain in
or be re.instated to the Evangelical
Association upon submitting to the dis
cipline. Now will you favor many readers
of your paper By publishing the following
extracts which concisely set forth what
this discipline is
"The Board of Bishops, composed o. all
the bishops qualified to act as such, shall
have power to determine, by majority
vote of the entire board all dispt ted
questions of our Church law, especially
as to the Interpretation of Discipline, and
such Interpretation shall thereafter be
binding upon all preachers and members
of our Church in the intervals of General
Conference" Esher- Bowman Disc. p. T5.
"Under our Discipline every preacher
in charge is bound to enforce its provisions
within his own charge, The Discipline
specifies dissension as cause for expulsion.
Every pastor is bound to watch over his
people as a shepherd over his flock He is
not a mere judicial officer, who can take
no official note Of offences, save when others
bring the matter to his attention, but it is
the plain disciplinary duty of the preacher
in.charge, having reliable information of
any person guilty of such conduct to
erase the name of such person from the
roll of membership, unless he resume,
with due sincerity, his allegiance to the
| Church, its doctrines and its constituted
authorities within reasonable period
Such conduct does itself constitute
secession from the Church, and every one
thus reported on the roll of mem bership
shall be considered as having irregularly
withdrawn from the Church, due notice
whereof shall be given by public an
nouncement at the usual place of public
worship. Should any person thus marked
apply to the preacher in charge for read
mission, his restoration shall be left to
the discretion of the preacher in charge"
indianapolis Conf. Jour. p. 1917.
These sections give to Bishops and
preachers absolute power over the mem.
bers of the Church. Their discretion is
the only authority to be consulted. j. j.
Esher sought this power for more than a
score of years. To this ambition of his
and the political methods used by him the
disruption in the Evangelical Association
is due. This is the issue. Y.

Is There a Niger In Il?

There is considerable rather unpleasant
comment concerning recent developments
in connection with the public water works
There is an ominous smoldering which
will begin to blaze before many days pass
One thing which is subjected to severe
comment is the action of the Borough
Council in hiring two men at s. per day
to paint the steel pipe connecting the
storage reservoir at Fowler's Run with
the pumping station at Brandonville. 1t
is claimed that the work is OF a most
ordinary character and that $l,50
a day for each man would have
been reasonable wages. Another
thing which was commented upon
to some extent on the streets to-day was
the contract to erect the boiler and engine
house. The excuse given by the parties
who threw up the contract seems plausi-
BILE They say they depended for prices
uponlthe statement of a man from whom
they intended to purchase materials and
were misled, therefore they could not do
the work at the price they bid, but what
gives spirit TO the comments is that these
pSoplO uiu hOu pun III q sSCOuu blu anu
left the field open to the lumber company,
and the work will cost just $3.50 more.
1t is alleged with some force that all the
people who put in bids for the work orig
inally are connected directly or indirectly
with the company that now has the con-
tract, and that the calling for bids is more
matter of farcical form than anything
else. 1t is not alleged that there is any
thing crooked in the business. The
matter is discussed from a point
of view that the borough is not
getting some of the work on
the water works as cheap as it ought to
when it asks for bids, and that the split
ting up of forces to contend with outside
bidders who might come in is not exactly
plan which benefits the taxpayer.

Bill of Fare at the White House
"The Limited Mall"

Elmer E. Vances famous railroad
comedy drama, "The Limited Mai" will
appear at Ferguson's theatre on Wednes-
day evening, Oct. oath, and it is safe to
predict a house packed to the doors, for
the reputation of this phenomenal success
has preceded it. The play abounds in
comedy and dramatic passages; is
crowded with startling and thrilling
scenes, and is series of surprises from
first to last-the story dealing with life
on the railroads in the far west, in which
many realistic and familiar scenes are
depicted with faithfulness recognizable
by everybody, Pathos and humor, with
just enough of sensation to give spice and
variety to the unraveling of the plot
and this play, by the way, has plot, and
a good one at that. The company this
season is spoken of by the press as the
best one yet brought together by the
management, and includes that bright
little lady, Beatrice" whose charming
acting, artistic dancing and melodious
singing, always charm her audience.

In a recent speech in Atlanta Ca,
Speaker Crisp said:
A protective tariff restricts trade
and commerce, limits the market in
which we must buy and depresses the
market in which we must sell.
1t may check theimportation Of goods
of the kind which we make ourselves,
but under reciprocity arrangements it
cannot interfere with non-competi-
tive articles. 1t cannot help
stimulating the home market, as
has been demonstrated, and that market
is greater than all others. A foreign
market will become important to us
only under reciprocity with nations
who want our goods and have some.
thing we want for exchange. If we
must give up either our foreign trade
or our home market, let us keep the
home market.

Encampment on Memorable Ground.
The anniversary is held upon soil Pc

at this gathering. Pennsylvania gave
more men to the war according to her
quota than any other state in the Union.
The big parade will take place
Wednesday.
There are few tents at this encamp-
ment for the old soldiers to sleep in, as
Commander in Chief Adams ordered
otherwise, long ago. He wants the
sOldlerS TO go away WlIn pledsanG ueIu-

IS A BAD YOUNG MAN
Bank Robber Dc France Lays in Jail
While His Record of Crime
Comes to Light.
WENT IN FOR BIG MONEY
But He Was Tripped Up by Being Too
Fast About Getting Rich With
out Working.

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept 11.-There is grad
ually coming out the unwritten history
of the career of the famous Stonewall J.
De France, the notorious forger, who
now languishes in the jackson, Mich,
state prison for a term of seven years.
De France, who victimized banks in
nearly every city of any size in the
country, once cut his capers in Kalama-
ZOO, Mich, and it fell to the lot Of that
city to send him behind the bars. Since
his incarceration photographs of De
France have been sent to every place
where it is thought he has worked his
shrewd games, and, as result, there
comes story from Indianapolis, which
is chapter in De Frances life immedi-
ately previous to his escapades in Min
neapolis.
Names Were Plenty with Him.
In Indianapolis De France sailed
under the name of Cameron Elliott.
John S. Duncan, an Indianapolis attor-
ney, has made an affidavit, and filed the
same with the comfy clerk at Detroit,
Mich, as part of the proceedings
against De France, brought by
Arthur @. Anderson, and attached
to the affidavit is a picture of De
France taken in his prison garb. The
affidavit says the picture strongly re-
sembles Cameron Elliott, a man for
whom the attorney drew up legal
paper March, 1892. At the time the
document was being drawn. up Elliott
stated to Attorney Duncan that he was
going to Minneapolis to buy some real
estate, and asked for a letter of intro.
duction to a Minneapolis attorney. A
letter was given to Elliott introducing
him to Attorney Charles Jelley, who
moved from Indianapolis to this city.
Kept on Swindling Indianapolis Banks
Cashier Bosom Of the Indianapolis
Bank Of Commerce, still further identi
fes the alleged Elliott as De France
from the pictures furnished by the au
thorities Of the jackson prison. Ii
March, 1899. Cameron Elliott deposited
with Cashier Bosson $1,000. Elliott
checked the money out, and on Marcl
81 he had executed in his favor tw'
drafts of 5000 each, upon the United
States National Bank of New York.
Made Break For $4,000.
On April IA the cashier of the Indian
apolis bank was thunderstruck to re
ceive telegram from the New Yor?
: bank saying that two drafts for $35, 90
| each had been presented for paymen
by Cameron Elliott against the Con
mercial bank of Indianapolis. Th
cashier of the latter institution immed
= ately wired TO New York that no sue
draft had been drawn, and the attemI
: to collect the $4,000 made by De Franc
0 was frustrated.
t Soon after De France appeared
: Minneapolis, and by his artful wor
y mulcted a local bank out Of 5000.

Dawson county farmers, truck gar
deners and fruit growers will have to
adapt themselves as nearly as possible
to the methods by which they can al
ways win. The man who has accustom-
ed himself, to farming on large scale,
depending wholly upon rainfall, would
do we'll to set aside ten or twenty acres
and apply to it the methods of more
thorough cultivation and prepare to
irrigate it when necessary. Ten acres
of potatoes, under high cultivation and
irrigation, will usually bring as many
dollars as hundred acres of wheat.

Those who advocate the assessment
and taxation OF mortgages are no doubt
sincere, and do so op the grounds that
all property should bear an equal bur-
den of taxation. The principle is not
wrong. The practical operations OF
such law, however, distress the
class it is intended to help. In states
where it has been tried, it has 'invari-
ably resulted in an increase of the rate
of interest to more than cover the taxa
ton, and, caused capital to give the
preference to other sections, which do
not impose this condition.
