Washington, Feb. "A spirit of Sc
renity pervaded the treasury depart
ment today that was quite in contrast
with the hurried movements and anx-
ious looks of the officials last week.
Secretary Carlisle was in his office and
saw all corners, which he has been I'M
able to do for some time past In ans
wer to all inquiries Mr.. Carlisle stated
that he had nothing to say on the flnan-
ciaI situation Assistant Secretary Cur
tbs, who has returned from New York,
was also in his office and accessible to
all callers. He. however. would not say
whether or not his mission in New York
had been successful. So faras can be
learned no steps have been taken to
prepare plates for another bond issue.

plication of Judge Holton, attorney for
Policeman w. J. Berkins, that the sheriff

coroner, as would be customary in such
a case, Judge Johnson appointed eX-Post-

cation of Berkin'S attorney was that the

set aside, the other occasion being when
an attache of that Office was on trial.

Philadelphia, Aug. 23.-The form Of
an unconscious hneman hanging twen-
ty-five feet in midair across live elec-

Electric Light company, ascerded a
pole for the purpose of stringing a new
wire. He had been working but few
moments when scream Of terror di-
re-cted the gaze of paSsers-by to the net
work of wires. There lying partially
upon several of the wires through
which a strong current was passing and
partly sustained by one Of the cross
trees Of the pole was the Hneman. His
right arm hung powerless over a live
wire which had burned through his
shirt sleeve and into the flesh and from
the point of contact a white smoke
curled up. The mans face rested
against another wire and the spectators
could see the wire burning into his
cheek.
Residents of nearby dwellings threw
mattresses and feather bedding from
their windows and piled them beneath
the man. Mallin had been in the po-
sition for fully tive minnbes when
Charles f. Grant. another lineman. Sc
cured a rope and swiftly climbed the
pole. AT the risk of his own life>tsrant

into sitting position and tied the rope

The price of wheat has fallen 3%

Wheat ought to go abroad freely at
present prices, but Atlantic exports,

bushels for the week, against 1854, ,764
last year. and for four weeks only
434S.C32 bushels against 10, 937, ,447 last
year. Impressive stories of short
crops abroad have little weight in the
presence of such 4 record, and the
abstention of foreign purchasers
proves more effective than the with
holding of wheat by western farmers.

dustries, in which the enormous orders
placed some weeks or more ago cause
phenomenal activity for the season.

Erie, Pa. Aug 23.-Though our dele
CATION were tired out last night. we
manage to make our presence felt and
heard In the opening service of the con-
ventiOn. We have distributed all the
badges and hymns that We brought
with us and have had more printed.
The attendance of delegates from coun-
ties outside of Erie Is tmall and this
showing made a great disappointment
to those In charge. This Is on account
Of the high Gailroad rates and on ac-
count of Its being held 80 soon after the
International convention at Boston.
This morning the committees were APP
pointed. The one most interesting to
the Scranton delegation Of course is the
committee on place OF '96 convention,
composed Of the following: T.. N. Nc

burg: Miss l.. b. White Butler. and
Rev. Amel Lewey. Altoona. This COM
mittee will meet tomorrow morning at
8 o'clock to decide our fate. Tonight
the Scrantoninans feel confident that
they will be successful and are making
the meeting ring with convention songs
and cry. The latter is as follows: "Rah!
Rah! Rix! Rah! Rah! Rix! Scranton!
Scranton! &c.!
Allentown is very quiet In It's efforts
but whether this plan will be effective
Ii still to be seen. They came here
with a tame song singing to the tune
OF "Auld Lang Syne," but their efforts
to sing were so fuitless that they have
concluded to change and are now sing
ing their '95 song, which was prepared
for York last year. Scranton Is re-
ceiving royal assistance from Wilkes,

sentatives and our hosts, the Central
Pennsylvania society, are doing fully
as well for US.
We have been honored today by the
appointment on the nomination COM
nit of our chairman, c. Z. Daniels.
The delegates are all well and happy
and are hoping and praying for sue
cess tomorrow. We are looking for
