FALL
OF A MINER.
Found Dead Early This Morning on
Lonely Path.
MINERS FIND THE BODY /!
The Cause Of Death Is Only COnjectured
and Some People Have Suspicious
Of Foul Play.
MINERS FIND THE BODY

The dead body of Nicholas Savalosky
was found on the ridge between this town
and st. Nicholas, at about six o'clock this
morning, by miners on their way to work
The body was in limp condition, showing
that death had occurred but a short time
before. There was an ugly wound on the
forehead and of such character as would
cause conclusion of the brain.
The body was recognized by some of
the miners and they brought it to town,
delivering it at the house where the de-
ceased boarded, which is block No. .,
located near the Philadelphia & Reading
railroad in the southern part of town.
When the deceased was found he was
dressed in his working clothes and his
bottle and can were at his side, filed with
coffee and bread. Biarstein, the boarding
boss, says that Savalosky started from
the house shortly after five o'clock this
morning to 90 to work at the Wiggans
colliery.
The supposition is that the man met
his death through the effects of fall, but
the location Of the body when found has

ing over the ridge the deceased was
obliged to cross pipe line. His footsteps
were traced to the line and at point where
they stopped there is a large rock. 1t is
supposed that in stepping over the pipe
Savalosky tripped and fell, his head strik-
ing the rock with great force.
This solution of the circumstances sur
rounding the death is somewhat dissipated
in the minds of some people by the fact
that the body was found at least fourteen
feet away from the rock. 1t is reasoned
that the force with which the mans head
struck the rock must have rendered him
instantly unconscious. Others take it for
granted that the man recovered hiss nses
after the fall and attempted to wall ome
again, but after struggling stSng for
about five yards dropped and died. None
of his friends can think of motive for an
attack and there was nothing to indicate
that an attempt had been made at rob-
berry of the person.
Savalosky was about twenty-eight
years of age and single. All his relations
are in the old country. No reliable infor-
nation in regard to his family connec-
tions could be secured when reporter
called at the boarding house this morning.

Scott for Sheriff.

Alex, Scott, of Frackville, is one of the
most prominent, influential and respected
men of business in the county, and in Sc
lecting him as its candidate for Sheriff
the Republican party exhibited rare good
judgment. He is what may be termed
without fear of successful contradiction,
a model candidate, one fully qualified to
take the Shrievalty and conduct its affairs
The best means of testing the make up
of man is to. take his record at home.
In Fraokvllle Mr.. Scott stands as high in
the estimation of his townsmen as any
man can possibly stand, and he Is held in
esteem by all his neighbors, irrespective
of politics or class. In private and busi-
ness circles Mr.. Scott has strong and loyal
following of the representative people OF
the county and every one of them un-
hesitatingly declare that In electing Mr.
Scott Sheriff of Schuylkill county uhey
will place in the Office a man in whom
the most implicit confidence may be
placed. If ever the Republicans had a
candidate who should receive the entire
vote of his party Mr.. Scott is the eman and
It is hoped he will poll every vote. There
is one thing the voter should guard
against, and that is the perniciOus com
plimentary vote practice. No man
should sacrifice his principle at any time
for the sake of comforting an empty favor.
If compliments are to be awarded give
them to the man who is best fitted for the
office and you will at the same
time compliment yourself on good
Judgment The appeal for comph.
mentary votes is a deception and
and snare and is never resorted to by
men who are able to make fight in a
campaign upon their merits. The people
who will vote for Alex Scott for Sheriff to-
morrow will have easy consciences after
November 9th, even should the candidate
be defeated. Vote for Alex Scott.

Some Facts on Water Works That
Cannot be COntradicted.
FIGURES BY AFFIDAVIT |
The Borough Cannot Operate Pumping
Station and Make 1t Self-SuStalning.
The Supply is Not Sufficient.

The Council met on Friday night, after
two days study of our circular to the
voters, for the purpose Of making reply
thereto. They appointed a committee to
draft a reply and adjourned. The COM
mittee now issues, at the eleventh hour,
statement worthy of their greed and
malice. ..
Our former statement contained two
propositions, in which we claimed the
whole people were vitality interested.
The kernel Of the whole water question
was centered therein. They were, short.
ly: 1st, Can the borough operate
pumping station prohtably and make it
selfsustaining ? end, Have they sufi-
cient water supplyP ......
Read their statement for answer. There
is another guess as to the first. AS to the
second they are silent. They have no
answer. There is not water sufficient in
Davis Run during the summer months to
supply one ward of our town, as well as
the whole townlhas been supplied by this
company. The people who, during the
past summer, have visited it know this to
Db Jub lbCJ. lu6 COIuulIbbe Ol OOunCll
who prepared this statement know it,
therefore they are silent. There is not
one statement In their circular which is
true. Whenever, OF wherever, they pre-
tend to quote from any statements of this
company, they garbled it, or misquoted
purposely.
To answer their misstatements seriatem
would require time we cannot spare We
leave this whole matter with the people,
saying only that the Couneilmen, or others
who deliberately make such statements
as are contained in their circular this day
issued, are grossly mistaken in their esti-
mates.
In answer to our two propositions they
admit they have not sufficient water
supply and as to the other question Gake

expense as per borough ,'') they set down
as the labor cost and labor required to

Taking the duplicate of the Shenan-
doah Water and Gas Company to be in
the neighborhood of $4,000, and taking
the testimony of an entirely disinterested
party that the lowest expense for operat-
ing the Shenandoah public water works
will be S24, $50 annually, a net loss of at
least s2,3sO per year is clearly shown. And
even these figures do not include exonerR.
tions, incidentals, etc.
Finally, it will be our endeavor and
we promise to fully supply the inhabi
tants of the borough with an adequate
supply of water for all purposes And
further, that the water rates will always
be as low as the rates of surrounding
towns, or lower.

Historical and Traditional Stories OF the
Fail OF Aerolites.

Historical and Traditional Stories OF the
Fall OF Aerolltes.
Every country and every age has it's
historical, semihistorical or tradition
al stories concerning immense stones
falling from the sky; or, more prop
erly, from space. Levi tells of a whole
shower of aerolites which fell on the
mountains near Rome in the year 654
B. C. The Arundel Marbles marble
tables giving the events of the Grecian
history from. 1882 B. C. to 624 B. G. in
chronical order) give an account of a
great stone which ''fell down from
heaven at Aeogostami about the year
467 B. G. Pliny, who died in the year
70 A. D., says that in his time the
great air-stone'' mentioned in the
foregoing was still to be seen on the
Hel1espont; '.and," he quantity adds,
sit is even now of the bigness of a
wagon
Since the opening of the present
century there have been several well
attested instances OF falls OF stone
from the regions Of space. In the year
1903 perfect sh over of litho-missi1es
fell in the farming country adjacent to
L'Aigle, France, upwards of three
thousand separate stones failing upon
wedge-shaped section of country
eight miles long by about four miles
wide.
Aerolites. or. 'tmeteorites," as they
are sometimes called, usually fall
singly, sometimes in pairs, and, less
frequently, in showers, as was the case
at New Concordia, o., in 1860, when
nearly two hundred red-hot stones fell
in field in broad daylight.
Up to January 1, 1894, there had been
between three hundred and three hun
dred and fifty recorded instances of
stones falling from the unknown re-
gions outside of our atmosphere, and
in eight of these the fall was in the
shape of showers the individual
missiles numbering from ten to five
