Hero of "a Mine Accident Dead.

John w. Clark, who was the hero of
the Sugar Notch mine disaster in 1879.
died at his home in Ashley on Saturday,
aged 81 years. On April %, 1879, an
extensive cavern occurred in No. II
mine of the Lehigh and Wilkes barre
Coal Company at Sugar Notch. Clark,
who was driver boy at the time, aud
six miners were entombed by the cave
in Clark had the forcthought to put
his mule in place of safety. 1t was a
good thing he did so, for had he negle, t.
ed that all the men would have died of
starvation.
After the men found themselves i'm
prisoned Clark brought the mule from an
abandoned chamber aud killed him with
pick. The seven men ate his ncSh ana
drank his blood until they were rescued,
six days later. Clark YVES the hero of
the hour and received an ovation wher-
ever he went. The president of the
Lehigh and Willesbarre Coal Company
started him in business and he became
prosperous.

A SEVEN MONTHS TERN.
BOROUGH SCHOOL FUND EXHAUST
ED AND TEACHERS DISMISSED.
Washington Street and Birvanton Schools
Were Closed on Tuesday and the Coke
Memorial Will Close in Few Weeks.
New Building Talked OF.

The Washington street and Brvanton
schools were closed by the borough
school board on Tuesday evening, the
teachers having taught seven months,
and the Coke Memorial school will close
on May /, on which date the teachers
there will have completed their seven
months teaching.
The action of the board, which was
taken at meeting held on Tuesday
night. had been expected, as the funds
which can be used for teaching purposes
were getting lower rapidly, and now are
exhausted entirely. Several teachers
have not been paid their salary in full.
A bill of $3.50 from Mrs. S. T. HAYES.
for insurance and another of $25 from
the Cross Creek Coal Company were or
dered paid.
The board then took up the question
of erecting new building. The amount
available for building purposes, after
receiving the consent of the voters to in
crease the Indebtedness to the full limit
allowed by law, will be about $11 900.
motion was made that, providing
the citizens give their consent at spe-
cial election, an eight-room brick build
ing be erected on the Washington street
site.
This motion aroused great deal of
discussion. Directors Rute, Ferry and
Timony voted for the new building,
while Directors Mccarthy and Welsh
voted against it,
The opposition was based on the claim
that building of the kind proposed,
one which would be credit to the town,
could not be erected and equipped with
the money available.
As the motion had less than legal
majority it was lost
A motion was then made and unani-
mously agreed to that II committee be
appointed to ascertain the exact amount
available for building purposes and to
obtain an estimate of the cost of an
eight-room structure. This committee
consists of Directors Ferry, Rute and
Welsh
