THE son Is INNOCENT
suicide.

Mr.. George Key a prominent citi-
zen Of west Grant living a few miles
west of Patch Grove took his own life
by cutting his throat last week.
The injuries were inflicted Wednes-
day forenoon and death resulted Fri
day al 4 p. m. Family trouble is as
signed as the cause OF the unnatural
deed.
The circumstances are as follows:
Mr.. Keys son Scott vas working for a
neighbor Mrs. 0Neil and developed
symptoms OF violent insanity. He
pounded Mrs. ONiel quite badly and
threatened her son. He went home
and made such a disturbance in hi,
fathers family that they became
frightened and ran to the neighbors
for assistance. leaving the father and
son together.
When the neighborS returned to
the house they found Geo Key III eon-
cious with several deep cuts
in his throat. and the windpipe
cut entirely or. 1t was thought at
first that possibly the son had done
the deed, but the father revived and
stated that he himself had done the
cutting because he did not want to
live longer and that Scott had had no
part in it. The funeral services were
held Saturday and the body buried in
the Nagel cemetery.
Scott Key was taken to the Men :
dota hospital for the insane by
Sheriff Dyer on Thursday.

WATER WORKS.
An Enthusiastic Meeting in the City Hall
Tuesday Evening.

A special meeting of the citizens OF
Lancaster was called by the city
council last Tuesday to hear their re-
port of Investigations relating to
water works. Mayor Decker was
chosen chairman and Aug. Michaelis
secretary Of the meeting. Mr.. Decker
stated the object for which the citi-
zens were called together and invited
Judge Clementson to read the analy-
sis of the water of the Griswold spring
made by Prof. Mitchell of the State
Food and Dairy Commission From
the analysis as has been published be-
fore there appears to be almost a total
absence of impurities in the waite.
The solids that do appear are chiefly
mineral. Most springs and wells in
this vicinity are so highly impregnat-
ed with compounds of lime as to rem
der their waters unfit for many do
nestle uses, but Prof. Mitchellis
analysis shows this spring to supply
a soft water suitable for domestic or
boiler purposes.
Mayor Decker announced that the
council had made a test of the volumn
of the flow from the spring and an es-
innate of the expense of a system OF
water works to supply the city from
that source.
MI. Parrish, an engineer who has
been making the tests and estimates,
was called to give figures. From his
report it appears that there is an
abundant supply of water. He says
the flow is at least 1000 gallons per
minute and perhaps considerably
more. The rise from the spring 10
the highest point on the hill north of
town is 80 feet and from that point
to the court house there is a fall of
about thirty feet. A reservoir stand
p~ipe'seyenty feet in height on thegreat-
est elevation north of the city would
furnish a pressure of As pounds to
the square inch which would meet
the requirements of the city.
The expense was estimated as fol-
lnt-s.

The plan proposed is to bring an
eight-inch main to the center of the
city and lay a six inch pipe to form a
complete circuit around the city with
four inch cross pipes so that the svs-
TEN of piping would be not unlike a
wheel with hub at the court yard.
the six inch pipes for the felloes and
the four inch pipes for spokes. The
diameter wonld be on an average
about eight blocks extending north
and south from the new school house
to the first street south of the old and
having some four inch pipes radiating
outward from the rim as well as
toward the center.
A resolution was offered by Judge
Clementson that the council be re-
quested to purchase the spring and
the needed amount of land at once if
it could be obtained at a reasonable
figure. II was carried unanimously.
Mr.. Griswold. being present, was
called on to state the price he placed
on the property. He stated that he
had made the council an offer of it
for not less than $500 nor more chan
$500 and that he would stand by this
offer.
Mr.. John Schreiner made a motion
to the effect that the council be asked
to call a special election for the pur-
pose Of voting on the proposition to
bond the city to the legal amount for
the purpose of putting in a system of
water works. This motion was car
ried unanimously and enthusiastically.
An informal discussion followed as to
the probable rate of interest required
tc float the bonds. the most desirable
period for them to run, the denomi-
nations in which they should be is
sued etc. No action was taken but
the sentiment seemed to prevail that
the best plan would be to have no
part OF the principal due least at for
ten years.
Figures were presented by Judge
Clementson showing the amount of
tax that different citizens would have
to pay on the basis of last years as
sessment.
If the sentiments expressed at this
meeting are a fair indication of the
feelings of the voters water works for
Lancaster are assured.

HYMENEAL


On Wednesday. June 10 last. rela-
tiyes and friends to the number of one
hundred and fifty or more assembled
at the home of the Hon. John Oswald
and wife to witness the marriage of
their daughter Lena to Mr.. &. r.
Goodsell. DR.. Edwards of Emmanuel
church performed the cere.nony, Miss
Bertha Morse acted as bridesmaid
and DR.. W. I. Brown as best man.
The wedding invitations had men
toned one o'clock as the hour for
the marriage to take place and
promptly at that time a wedding
march played by Miss Alice Woolsten-
holme, cousin of the bride. announced
the arrival of the important moment.
The parlors OF the Oswald residence
had been most beautifully decorated
under the artistic supervision of Mr..
John Calls. Pink and white were
the predominant colors, with a tasty
admixture of green. Smilax. roses.
and ferns were the materials used.
The wedding party passed to the
west parlor and in the presence of the
large assembly plighted their troth in
the solemn VOWS of matrimony. The
beautiful and ceremonial service of
the Episcopal church was pronounced
by Rev. Edwards in a manner to inn
press upon all listeners its import
ance and solemnity.
The brides dress was silk null over
white silk with pearl passe-menterie
trimmings. She carried bridal roses
and looked as sweet and charming as
the most critical bridegroom could
wish. Her many admirers say she
never was more beautiful.
After congratulations and well
wishes had been extended to Mr.. and
Mrs. Goodsell refreshments were
served. The refreshments, both for
their d~elicacy and elegance of service
received many compliments. A large
army tent wa raised on the lawn and
the guests that could not find room
in the house were well and comfort
ably served in the tent.
The newly married pair left on the
afternoon train for a weeks trip or
more, to Cobb. Milwaukee and the
Dells of Wisconsin.
The bride and groom are we'll
known in Lancaster. Lena Oswald
was reared in the city and by her
worthy character, amiable disposition,
and many accomplishments has en-
deared herself to the entire commun-
ity. Mr.. Goodsell has been engaged
in the practice of law in Lancaster for
about four years. In that time he
has made for himself an enviable
reputation for ability. character and
success as al attorney. His good
sense and disposition to win are illus
trated in the choice and winning of
his bride.
The presents battle enumeration or
adequate description. They include
nearly everything that money could
buy and kind wishes suggest. There
are silverware aud china in all
shapes and sizes. a whole table full of
cut class. pictures. etchings and wa
ter colors, furniture both useful and
ornamental, money, and novelties,
enough to nearly fill two rooms.
The month of June, '95 will long be
remembered in Lancaster for its nota-
bic weddings, among the happiest of
which is the one just described.

Special to EVENING HERALD.
MAHANoY PLANE, Feb. 1S.-A frightful
explosion of gas occurred in the Bear
Ridge mine operated by the Philadelphia
& Reading Coal & Iron Company at this
place, this morning, at about ten o'clock,
When the explosion occurred twelve
men were in the ill-fated mine, but seven
have since been removed. They are
terribly burned and four Of them are not
expected to live.
1t is not known exactly where the other
five unfortunate men are and their names
cannot be given now. Every conceivable
means to reach them has been resorted to,
but each attempt has been baffled by the
fire which the explosion started. This
fire is being fought with all the modern
means which the mine experts who have
been brought upon the scene can com
mand, but very little progress has been
made.
Notwithstanding this condition of
affairs the fficials express faith in their
ability to rescue the men alive. Up to
three o'clock this afternoon no additional
rescues had been made and the relatives
and friends of the imprisoned men are
fast losing all hope. The men who are
fighting the fire have apparently made
little progress.
The six men taken from the mine were
WILLIAM MINNICK, Ashland, married,
THOMAS DAVIS, Girardville, married.
ANTHONY MEYERS, Girardville, married,
EDWARD DAVIS Girardvlle, married
MICHAEL LANIEY, Girardville.
WILLIAM MILLER, Mahanoy Plane, mar

JOHN DAVIS, Mahanoy Plane, single.
John Kline, the inside foreman, has a
large force of men at work exerting every
effort to so control the fire as to enable a
gang of men to try and rescue the i'm.
prisoned miners.
General Manager r. c. Luther has sum
moned mine inspectors and experts from
all parts of the region to the scene.
The cause of the fire is not known. Il
started in monkey" and is supposed
that the gas was ignited by a lamp of one
of the victims.
