Chief Engineer Luke Martin has COM
pleted his first annual report of the fire
department.
The total number of men in the de-
partment, including officers is 81 divid-
ed as follows 1 chief engineer, 2 assist
ant chief engineers, Hubbard hose, 20
men; Wallace hose, % men; Simpson
ii. " Il. Co., rs men; steamer company,
men.
The several companies of the depart
ment are in good condition. The appa
ratus of the department is in good CON
dition and repair and consists of one
steamer, two two-wheeled hose carts,
TWO four-wheeled hose carriages and
one hook and ladder truck.
There are $500 feet of hose in good or
der and repair and 600 feet ON the Ac-
oanaut carriage on the premises of
the chairman of the fire department
committee, William Luby, jr. There
are seventy-eight hydrants in the bor-
ough.
The several houses are in the same
condition as previously reported There
We're seven fires and alarms of fire, six
of which were in the borough, to all of
which the department responded
The total amount of loss by fire in
the borough for the past year was on
buildings, $1,550; personal property,
$1,45O; total, $3.50. Losses were all COW
cred by insurance.
The valuation of department property
is put at $685..
The report adds; 81 would recon-
mend one chemical engine to be placed
in the new hose house. Two forty
gallon tank engines with other equip
ments; would also recommend four
scaling ladders, also two chemical ex-
tinguishers for hook and ladder truck.
These supplies are very much needed
in the department.
With regard to the new house I
would recommend to build the tower
sufficiently strong and high for a bell
tower so that We might get the alarm
in case of fire to answer for uptown
and the Plains, also that the chief en-
gineer in the future shall have chsNge
of the hydrants and see that they are
kept in good repair"

Two Miners Caught in a Breast at Potts.
ville-Rescuc Party Working HerOicaIIy
for Their Release.
By the United Press.
Pottsville, Pa, Jan. "a heavy fall
of coal in Richardson colliery at Glen
Carbon last evening imprisoned two
miners, Charles Dietzel and Adam
Burk, in one of the breasts. About
twenty-five men worked vigorously all
night and removed about 1000 tons of
coal, but the unfortunate men have not
yet been reached. This morning the
rescuers Were relieved by fresh relay
of workers. The voice of one of the
imprisoned men could be heard at times
during the night. 1t Is believed one Of
the men is crushed beneath the mass
of coal and Is dead. The survivor, it
was believed this morning, is Detzel
although his voice was not discernable.
Fears are entertained that unless the
surviving man is reached soon that
blackdamp may accumulate and he will
be asphyXiated. This knowledge incites
the rescuers to work with much zeal.
The prosecution of the work of rescue
is attended with much risk to the safety
of the heroic rescuers, as well as to the
imprisoned men.

M'PHERSON'S NARROW ESCAPE
Samuel V. Newell Travels Two Thousand
Miles for the Purpose of Thrashing the
Destroyer of His Domestic Happi-
ness-NO Arrests Made.
BY the United Press.


Norristown, Pa, Jan. 9.-Samuel V.
Newell, of Central City, Col, ex-sena-
tor from that state, made an assault
with brass knuckles on f. s. McPher-
son, agent for the Northwestern Life
Insurance company, located here, with
their main office at Milwaukee, this
afternoon. Newell claims that Nc
Pherson has been crimnally intimate
with his wife. Mcpherson has been
corresponding with Mrs. Newell for
the past two years, He formerly re-
sided at Central City and was be-
friended by Newell, who is a well
known politician. The latter managed
to get hold of several letters and dis
covered the intimacy that existed be-
tween the two.
Newell left Denver on Saturday night
with the intention of coming 2,2O0 miles
to give Mcpherson a severe beating
In this he succeeded. On arriving in
Philadelphia he registered at the
Colonnade hotel under an assumed
name and had his moustache dyed. He
procured a wig to further disguise
himself and arrived in Norristown this
AFTERNOON at 2.3o o'clock and proceeded
at once to the Trust Companys build

having come here about Nov. l, last.
Was Taken by Surprise.
Mcpherson did not recognize Newell
on account of the disguise and was
taken by surprise. He was knocked
down by blow on the forehead with
the knuckles and was badly used UP.
Had it not been for Superintendent
John II. Passmore, of the Traction
company, and J. b. Larzelere, who
were in the building and went to his
assistance, Mcpherson would probably
have been killed.
During the scuffle Newell lost his wig
and his identity was revealed. AS soon
as he could get away Mcpherson left
his office and could not be found
Newell was taken into custody, but
was not locked up. Mcpherson did no,
appear against him and he was dis.
charged He is 40 years old and Nc
Pherson Is of about the same age.
Newell showed several letters to the
chief of police, which had been written
by Mcpherson to his wife, which showed
that their relations had been of q
criminal nature. He left here for Phil
adelphia to take the $50 train for Pitts
burg where his wife is now visiting
relatives. She was unaware Of his visi

FRICK MAY BE BLACKBALLED.
Possibility That Carnegie's Manager Can.
not Go Into the Union League.
By the United Press,

New York, Jan. 9.-The proposal of
Henry c. Frick, Mr.. Carnegie's man.
ager, for membership in the Union
League club, is causing some stir in the
club, and it was rumored today that
when he comes up for election next
Thursday night an effort will be made
to blacllball him.
The opposition to Mr.. Frlck Is said
to be due to an allegation that while
ostensibly a Republican in 1892, he real
ly did all he could to defeat the election
of the Republican ticket and that he
contributed $4,000 toward the cam
paign fund of Grover Cleveland. A
well-known member of the club, for

committee, said: 81 have mot heard of
much opposition to Mr.. Frick, and
while it may exist, l would be some

TARRED AND FEATHERED.
Religious Differences Give Rise to a Dis.
graceful Affair in Indiana.
By the United Press

Evansville, Ind, Jan. 9.-Word has
been received that Connellton, in Perry
county, is disturbed over a whitecap-
ping that occurred there last Sunday
night. The trouble grew out of the
attentions of a farmer named Taigolp
to Maggie O'Neill, the daughter of a
farmer living near Taigolp's farm.
Taigolp is a Protestant and O'Neill a
Catholic and the difference in religion
was decided objection to the union in
the eyes of O'Neill. He objected to the
young folks keeping company and Or
dered Taigolp to stay away from his
farm, but the latter failed to heed the
warning.
Last evening he called on Maggie,
and returned home about II o'clock.
About 1l.30 Taigolp was awakened by
knocking at the door and he got up
to let in his hired man, who was out.
1t was not the hired man, but four
masked men that greeted the vision of
Taigolp. They took him from the house,
tarred and feathered him and whipped
him numerically, then left him go
back to the house as best he could. The
prosecuting attorney is making an in
vestigation and If the culprits are dis
covered they will be prosecuted.
