WELSH PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY.

rNhis article, by an unfortunate mis-
take. was omitted from the literary
page where 1t should have appeared.
The facts contained herein were re-
ceived through the courtey Of Hon. II.
M. Edwards.l
This association is an incorporated
body, probably the Oldest literary So
ciety in Scranton. having been organ
ized about the year 1858.
Many of the men prominent in its
early history have disappeared from
the stage of life. among them Mr.. DAN
lei Davis. Mr.. Reese T. Evans, former
ly city treasurer of Scranton. and the
Hon. Thomas Phillips. OF the original
members Mr. Benjamin Hughes, Mr.
Thomas r. Davis. MIR. T. ID. Thomas
and Mr.. Enoch Harris are still living.
perhaps others whose names we have
been unable to obtain.
The society first met In room on the
corner of Main avenue and Scranton
street, holding weekly meetings, having
a library of about 200 volumes. and for
several years holding an annual els
teddfod. In 1875 a literary and musical
festival on a large scale was held In an
immense tent in Hyde Park at which
Carl Lerrahn was present as musical
adjudicator. Another of similar KIND
was held in 1880 and in 1885.
The financial results of these festivals
enabled the society to enlarge and
maintain free library for the people or
the West Side. This library Is entirely
dependent on private contributions, re-
ceiving no aid from the city.
The late Hon. John Handley some
time previous to his death contributed
one thousand dollars. and it is a we'll
known fact tina. had he lived Il few
months longer, the library would have
been handsomely endowed and placed
upon good financial basis.
The distinctive character of the soci-
ETY. since it's formation has been the in
vestigation of philosophical and scien-
titc subjects, in which line 1t has occu-
pied very unique position in this city.
1t has produced more practical results
than any other voluntary association
In I.ackawanna county.
The questions discussed during these
years would fill volumes, prominent
among them being those relating to
geology. mineralogy. mining, mine ven-
tilation and electricity.
The practical results of the society's
influence may he found In the fact that
scores of its members have become
mine foremen, mine superintendent or
mine inspectors and have reached other
positions Of influence.
A society that has filled such wide
field of usefulness for nearly forty
years Is an honor to the city and
should receive the support of the COM

The Pennsylvania Oral School for the

Who Receive Its Benefits.

In an afternoons drive about Scran-

stone buildings, set well back In spa
cious grounds. on a suburban hillside.
The simple statement that this Is the

hard to realize that they only see what
she says without hearing a word of it,
When she asks What did you do?"
after some simple action, the answer
comes In slow. careful way that gives
one some idea OF the labor of mechan-
ical speech. though the words are per-
fectly ineligible after we become ac-
customed to the manner of saying
them.

On inquiring how the work Is begun
we are told that the senses of sight and
touch are first developed, by kinGe' gar

and initiating the positions Of the
teachers lips. teeth and tongue, and
feeling the voice first on her thoat, then
on his own.

whole year wiser, find the effort OF
speech somewhat lessened apparently,
for we hear them making known their
little wants quite naturally.

who was stealing a ride from Charles
ton. Clemens was put off by the train
men at Sorrento. and in doing so he at
tackled Fireman Cooki and the engineer
with a knife, seriously wounding both.
He was after much effort captured by
the city marshal and a posse of citi-
zens, but before submitting to arrest
he cut the city marshal on the head
and back, and then plunged a knife in
his W body near the region Of his
heart. He was brought to Greenville
and turned over to Sheriff McAlister,
who, in attempting to place him in a
cell, was attacked by the prisoner.
Deputy Sheriff Wright and a squad of
citizens finally subdued him. A physi-
clan was summoned to dress hi, SELF
inflicted wounds, but he fought des-
perately. After several hours strug-
gle he was bound and his wounds
dressed. The prisoner fears lynching
and threatens self-destructfon. He Is
a man Of powerful proportions, and
appears to have a fair education. He
has in his possession a mechanical en-
gineer's license, and his initials, "B. I.
c." are tattooed on his left forearm.
He will be held here until the March
term Of circuit court. 1t is thought that
the engineer can not recover from his
wounds.

FOR HIS DAUGHTERS MURDER.
Oswego. Kan, Dec. 11.-After a long
preliminary examination Rudolph
Brockman, a wealthy farmer, living in
Usage township. has been held in the
sum OF $4,000 to answer for the MUIR
der OF HIS 17-year-old daughter, Mary.
Four weeks ago Brockman gave the
girl a terrible beating because she did
not york to suit him in his corn field.
He then tied a rope around n of her
ankles, fastened the other end Of the
rope to the rear axle of his wagon and
drove to his barn, a quarter of a mile
distant, dragging the girl behind. Ar
riving there he locked her up in the
barn without sufficient clothing and
without food. The girl was found by
her uncle and another neighbor, who
carried her away, but her injuries were
so serious that she died on November
90.
Brockman has long been an outcast
among the farmers of Usage township.
His ranch joins the notorious Bender
farm, and he was the nearest neighbors
of the Bender butchers. After the hor.
