and think there ought to be some way
provided whereby they can have rep
resentatiOn on the executive committee
when they come in. Here is Mr.. A. M
COvflle who lives west of the city and
who is a member of this club. I should
like to hear what he has to say in re-
gard to this matter
Mr.. COville Said:
I think nearly all the men out
around where live are silver men.
They have always been Republicans
and think they viii want to come into
this league. I think the constitution
ought to be amended so as to give us
some representation on the executive
committee and a vice president for
each township
Mr.. J. J. Miller, the vice president
from the First ward. said:
I am sure there are a lot of old
fashioned Republicans in this county
and in every part of it and they will
want to join this organization till such
time as they can organize locally.
Every Old-fashioned Republican
ought to be given g, chance to join so as
where he stands. The constitution
committee ought to be instructed to
prepare an amendment which will give
each township in the county Fepresen-
tatiOn.'
The committee on constitution was
instructed to draft an amendment to
the constitution so as to take in all
townships in Shawnee county
Mr.. J. ] Miller said there should be
a move made to interest the colored
Republicans and let them know that
they were welcome to become mem
bers.
President Hulit said that something
ought to be done in this line; that he
had talked to a crowd of fifteen col
Ored men yesterday and had voted
the crowd, and only two We're for gold.
He said further that Councilman
ROIndtree had become a member.

plans for extension and organization of

grafton at Hnzleton.

HAzLEToN. Pa. Jan. 4-Fire was dis
covered late last night in the Cranberry
colliery Of Pardee 81 Co., and within an
hour had completely destroyed the oolos-
sal structure. There were absolutely no
facilities available to fight the fire, and
everything in the immediate vicinity was
ht its mercy.
A strong wind carried the fire to a
number Of small houses near by, and three
Of these buildings we're quickly consumed.
The greatest fear was lest the flames
should communicate to the mines. The
lower part OF the slope on one side was al
ready blazing, and the shaft mouth on
the other side was on fire, with no ap-
parent prospects Of controlling the course
of the conhaRration. The loss cannot be
estimated at this time, but 1t will be large.
Another fire broke ont in the Crystal
Ridge colliery Of the same company while
the Cranberry was burning, but it was
extinguished before breaking from the
tower.
In both cases the origin is a mystery,
but there are strong evidences that they
were tho work OF flrebugs.
