COLONEL. BRADLEYs POPULARITY.
Nv both political friends and opponents Colonel
Bradley has long been considered the most popu-
lar and influential Republican in Kentucky. Sem
ator Blackburn in a speech last Friday. paid the
Republican nominee for Governor the sincere and
bonest tribute OF a broad-mnded political enemy
when he declared that Colonel Bradley was .
stronger candidate by 10000 votes than any other
Republican who might have been named by tho
state Convention. The campaign OF 1887 when
Colonel Bradley the first time for the Gov
ernorship against the Confederate General simon
Bolivar Buckner, opened the eyes OF the pohti-
clans here in regard to the Republican canoi-

though a party favorite won after a thorough
canvass of the State by only 1900 votes--a cut
of more than half in the normal Democratic plue
raty.
This year Colonel Bradley has more than
justified his title to Republican leadership In
the State by the eminently sound and effective
generalship which has characterized his cam.
paign. His strategy has been both bold ana
skilful. and he has adroitly driven MS oppo-
nent. Mr. Hardin. into making succession OF
political blunders while he has himself warily
avoided all the political pitfalls set to trap nis

Obituary,

Henry Snyder Antes, who died of
la grippe at his residence, No. $40
West street, this town, on March 18th,
1895, came from accelerated ancestry.
He was son Of Joseph Antes, ESQ.,,
and great grandson of Lieut.. Col.
Henry Antes, who settled at the con.
fluence of Nippenose (now Antes)
creek and the West Branch of the
Susquehanna river, in 1910, and built
the stockade enclosure known in
history as Fort Antes.
The family for generations has been
conspicuous for their mechanical inge,
nuity and skill, their military prowess,
unbounded hospitality and kindness
Of heart. The subject of this sketch
was born in Nippenose township,
Lycoming county, April 20, 1913, and
was the last of the name of Antes to
leave the township after FIVE genera
tions had been born there. The
family name still clings to the beauti-
full stream that flows close by the
site of the old fort and the graves of
the early settlers, as we'll as the post
Office at Jersey Shore station on the
Philadelphia and Erie railroad.
Mr.. Antes removed to Bloomsburg
in November, 1886, where he has re-
NAMED until the time of his death.
The christian virtues SO noted in his
ancestors found a prominent place
in his entire life, leaving to his family
the comfort and consolation of a
memory of almost seventy-seven years,
filled with the fruits of a peaceful
disposition, sterling integrity, untiring
energy, and calm submission to the
summons to join the innumerable
caravan.
The surviving family Of Mr.. Antes
consists of his son, James NJ, a
veteran of the late war from Company
G, 18th Penn'a. Cavalry, now residing
at Elmira, N. Y; Mrs. Mary T.
Caswell and Miss Kate, who with
their widowed mother still reside with
us.
AS the remains Of this grand old
man were borne to their last resting
place on tine beautiful slope of Rose
mont cemetery, it seemed as though
the connecting link was broken be
tween the generation of our rugged
pioneers and the age of twentieth
century advancement. X.

BURNING 81 YEARS.
Strenuous Efforts 10 Quench Flames in the
Summit Hill Mine.

Strenuous efforts are being made to
check the fire in the No. 3 tunnel at
Summit Hill, Schuylkill county, where
The miners struck the famous burning
mine which has been burning con-
tinuously for the past 81 years. The
mine is owned by the Lehigh Coal
and Navigation Company, and is
leased to Daniel Shepp, who has over
100 men employed.
The vein of coal here is over 800
feet thick, with an almost perpendlcu.
lar pitch. This vein is said to be the
largest in the world. When the fire
broke through the miners we're driving
through small vein in order to get
around the part in which the fire was
located. Owing to the intense heat
and the fumes Of sulphur the miners
were unable to proceed until wall
was built, closing off the gas and heat.
There is a large reservoir in the
vicinity, and pipe line has been con-
structed and water will be forced in
through an air passage.
The origin of the fire is a mystery,
but it is thought to have been caused
by miners neglecting to outen a fire
they had built while eating their
dinner. Numerous efforts have been
made to check the fire by washing
culm and other refuse into it and also
by gas, but SO far without success.

FEAST OF GOOD THINGS.
A Company Of Great Excellence TO Stay
at the rockingham a Week.

"Scranton Times says: A week
Of fun and pleasure was inaugurated
at the rockingham last night. The
purveyors are the Metropolitan
Comedy company in charge of J. E..
Nugent, an experienced manager,
being formerly connected with the
Bennett and Moulton Opera company,
who wouldn't go on the road with
anything that wasn't good. The
rockingham was filled to overfowing;
and the audience was as enthusiastic
as it was large. The play presented
was "The Fugitive" a melo drama
that requires first class talent for its
proper Interpretation. In this respect
there was nothing wanting last night.
The company is good and evenly
balanced. Enjoyable performances
for the rest of the week, and the pre-
diction is warranted that the individ
uals of the company will each make
hit. "A Royal Pardon" tonight.
This company will appear at the
Bloomsbury Opera House next week
beginning April Ist, matinee prices
ten cents to all parts Of the house.
Evening prices 10, 20 and 80 cents.

1T WAS OUR MISTAKE.

We are very glad to correct state
ment made last week concerning the
band. There has been no split among
the members. and the organization is
in a healthy condition, as was fully
demonstrated by the concert given on
Market square last Saturday night.
A couple of the members left the band
last December, and they have increas-
ed their number to eight by additions
out side of the old band, and this is
how we came to understand our in
formant that eight members had Sc
ceded.
The services of Mr.. Blair of Boston
have been secured by the old band,
and he has shown himself thorough
ly competent leader by the rapid i'm
provement that has been made under
his direction. 1t is hoped that he can
be induced to remain here.

MISS DlOKINS0N's CASE.
Her Suit For Damages For Imprisonment in
DanviIIc Insane Asylum.

Miss Anna Dickinson. who is suing
G. b. Thompson and others for dam.
ages in the United States circuit court
at Scranton for imprisoning her in the
Danville insane asylum in 1901, was
on the stand until four o'clock this
afternoon, undergoing cross examina.
ton. She was the most brilliant wit
ness ever on the stand in this city and
by her evasions baffled the skill of the
opposing counsel, Major Everett War
ren.
There were a great number of SEN
sational features, due mostly to Miss
Dickinson's marked peculiarities. The
greatest sensation Of the day was caus-
ed when she refused to recognize Miss
Susan Dickinson, who sat at the de-
fendant's table, as her own sister. She
was finally compelled to admit that
she was her own mothers daughter,
but they were sisters in flesh and blood
only, she said. From 1856, to 1873
she had as many as one thousand ap-
ptcations a year for lectures. She
could deliver only from 100 to 18o
lectures a year, for which she received
from $3.50 to $1,000 a night. She
worked hard, but did not overwork
herself She played Hamlet zoo times
before American audiences. She de
MED that she had ever suffered from
nerve exhaustion or nerve trouble.
She said she was not troubled with
insomnia, and that she never was
compelled to use artificial means to
procure sleep or rest for her nerves.
She said that in 1890 her general
health was as good as it had been and,
indeed, better than it had been during
her three or four preceding years
Miss Dickinson insisted on under
standing the meaning of every word
in sentence before she would at
tempt to answer it, and she piled the
opposing counsel with questions as to
what each chief word in his sentence
meant till it was evident that the law
yer was more the subject of the cross
examination than the witness.
AT the afternoon session she was
asked most sensational questions to
all of which she answered no, but in
several instances she qualified her
negative. She was asked if she had
not gone riding with man named
Egglestein and if she had not pinched
his leg and asked him to pinch her
toe asked if she had not on certain
occasions rolled on the floor and kick,
ed up her heels in an indecent manner;
asked if she had not INDUCED in the
use of intoxicants at times to excess,
if she had not been profane and
blasphemous, if she had not stabbed
her sister in the hand with pair OF
scissors, if she had not ran into the
street indecently clad with knife in
her hand after her cook, and if she
had not imagined that every one from
the President of the United States
down was conspiring against her and
attempting to poison her.

Ashland and Oentralia Will be Connected
by Trolley,
THAT'S WHAT MANAGER SMITH SAYS.

Manager Smith, of the Shamokin-
Mt. Carmel Electric Railway Co., in
conversation with the editor of the
Ashland Adyocate recently confirmed
what has been already said as to the
opening of the branch between Mt.
Carmel and Centralia, which line will
be ready for operation early in the
month of April. Two hundred men
now pushing the work of construction,
and the track laying and the overhead
line are being put down at one and
the same time. The grading is COM
pleted to point not far west Of the
Logan breaker, and the rails are grad
ually creeping along in that direction.
Manager Smith also said something
that is Of much more importance to
the people of Centralia and Ashland,
and that was branch between our
town and theirs in the very near future.
His company will build The road.
They have considered all the points
in the matter, and the result is that
they have decided to construct the
branch. which will form connecting
link with the Schuylkill Traction Co.
here, and make the line a continuous
one from all points in the Mahanoy
Valley, with Mahanoy City as the east,
ern, and Shamokin as the western
limit.
1t is expected that the officials who
now control the Shamokin- Mt. Carmel
Electric Railway will be here within
the coming week or two for the pur-
pose of looking over and deciding up
on route. The preliminaries of sur
vey, securing franchises, and making
other necessary details will take some
little time. but it is confidently expect
ed that the work of constructing the
branch will begin before the summer
months come to an end.
In Ashland this is ga consummation
devoutly to be wished" and we feel
Centralia will echo the sentiment.
The two towns are closely connected
in their business and social relation
ship. and the construction of this line
cannot but be beneficial to both.
From a business standpoint it will
be decided benefit, as it will prevent
trade that might have been diverted
to other channels after the line to Mt
Carmel and Shamokln is opened from
going from our town.-Ad0ocGte.
