JUDGE OPENS LOOKUP DOORS.
Declares an Ordinance Void and Gives
Prisoner His Liberty.

A decision of Importance to bor-
oughs and towns in the State was
rendered by Judge Ermentrout in
Court in Reading on Friday. 1t was
the result of a habeas corpus hearing,
in which Levi Kessler, of Pottstown,
confined in the Birdsboro lookup,
charged with violating a borough or
dinance, sought to be freed.
The prisoner had been arrested by
the borough constable at the instance

The borough Solicitor insisted that
the sale and delivery of goods in this
manner constituted peddling, and tina

PICKING UP GOLD.
Remarkable Tales Of Experience Of Men
In the Gold Country.

An interesting letter, telling of the
recent trip of the steamer Excelsior to
Alaska, has been written by Captain
J. F. Higgins, of the steamer, to a
friend in Philadelphia. He says -
The word Klondlke means Deer
River and is called Reindeer River
on the charts. 1t empties into the
Yukon fifty miles above the Big River.
The geographical position of the
junction is 76 degrees 10 minutes
north latitude, 1873 degrees 50
minutes west longitude. Bonanza
Creek empties into the Klondike
about two miles above the Yukon.
Eldcrado is a tributary of the Bonanza.
There are numerous other creeks and
tributaries, the main river being 900
miles long.
The gold so far has been taken
from Bonanza and Eldorado, both
well named, for the richness of the
placers is truly marvellous. Eldorado,
thirty miles long, is staked the whole
length and as far as worked has paid.
Gone of our passengers, who is
taking $I,ooo,ooo with him, has
worked 100 feet of his ground and re-
fused 100000 for the remainder and
confidently expects to clean up $4oo,-
900 and more. He has in bottle
Sara from one pan of dirt. His pay
dirt, while being washed, averaged
$25o an hour to each man shoveling
in. Two others of our miners, who
worked their own claims, cleaned up
$4,000 from the days washing.
"There are about fifteen feet of
dirt above bed rock, the pay streak
averaging from four to six feet, which
is tunneled out while the ground is
frozen. OF course the ground taken
out is thawed by building fires, and
when the thaw comes and water
rushes in they set their slu,ces and
wash the dirt.
"Two Of our fellows thought a
small bird in the hand worth a large
one in the bush and sold their claim
for $4,000, getting $4,000 down, the
remainder to be paid in monthly in
stallments of $4,000 each. The
purchasers had no more than $1,000
paid. They were twenty days thaw-
ing and getting out dirt. Then there
was no water to sluice with, but one
fellow made a rocker and in ten days
took out $40, 1000 for the first INSTALL
ment. So, tunneling and rockering,
they took out $4,000 before there
was water to sluice with.
"Of course these things read like
the story of Aladdin, but fiction is not
at al in it with facts and at Klondike.
The ground located and prospected
can be worked out in a few years,
but there is still an immense territory
untouched, and the laboring man who
can get there with one years provi-
sions will have better chance to
make stake than in any other part
Of the world"

PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRATS.
A Combination Forming for Work at the
State Convention.

There is plan on foot to effect a
combination tor the control of the
State Democratic Convention, which
meets at Reading, August 81. A place
is to be left for the Allegheny County
delegates, who will decide whether or
not they will lend their aid to the
movement. This the Pittsburg con-
tingent will decide Saturday, July 81,
when the delegates meet to determine
upon a policy to be pursued at the
convention.
A proposition from the Philadel-
phia Democratic leaders is to be con-
sldered at the meeting. This PROPOSE
ton has been sent to several of the
larger counties and if it be accepted
by one-half of the people invited to
cooperate the work of the Reading
convention will be short and shorn of
exciting incident.
AIMED AT EX-CoNGREssMAN sIBLEy.
1t is thought the plan will drive ex.
Congressman Joseph c. Sibley from
the field as Gubernatorlal candidate.
1t is claimed that he has led in the
contest up to date. SiDley's views on
the money question are well-known
and being pronounced silver man
his fight would be made on that issue.
There is factor at work in the
State lining up delegations who are
not too pronounced in their views
and several Philadelphia leaders are
trying to secure support for these
workers. While the Allegheny delega-
ton is a silver one it would probably
be more disposed to accept the sug-
gestion of the Philadelphia Democrats
than any of the Others The whole
matter will be discussed at the meet,
ing soon to be held.

Gratifying to His New Haven Friends


 The following from the Philadelphia Inquirer's Washington dispatches will interest the personal friends of the dis tinguished gentleman in question in New Haven:
 "The Pennsylvania congressman in the city were treated to a surprise by President Mckinley in the nomination of Lawrence Townsend of Philadelphia to be minister to Portugal as it was totally unexpected Senators Quay and Penrose were the only persons who knew that it was comning None of the Philadelphia representatives had the slightest idea that Mr Townsend was candidate for any office. He was appointed by President Cleveland in october, 1883 secretary of the .lega- tion at Vienna, and the diplomatic list issued by the state department, and re- vised up to April last, shows that he is still holding that place, which is worth $1,s00 year
 "The fact that President Cleveland sent MT. Townsend abroad led to the impression among the republican con- gressmen from Pennsylvania that he is a democrat. Senator Quay said to- night that MT. Townsend was a stall wart republican, and that he and Sem ator Penrose had cordially indorsed the Philadelphian's application for the mis- sion to Portugal. MT Townsend is wealthy and accomplished, and Senator Quay believes that the appointment | will be a popular one. The mission l pays $7, 800 a year"

FIRE IN MIDDLETOWN.

Several Tenants Have a Marrow Es-

 for Life.
 Middletown, June 1S-Fire at 4 o'clock this morning gutted the three story brick block on Liberty street, owned by Richard Somerford. The flames made rapid headway and the tenants on the third floor were cut off from escape by flames in the stairways. They were all rescued, however, with one exception. Patrick Dempsey, aged sixty years boarded with Mrs. Cum merford and in the excitement he jumped from the third story to the pavement and is probably fatally injur- ed. His left shoulder, an arm and a leg are broken and his head was in jured, He was taken to the Hartford hospital this forenoon. Most of the tenants were clad only in their night clothes. The total loss is estimated at $50O0, fully insured. Origin un- known.

Another YnIe Man.

John G. Brady of Alaska, who was nominated to the senate June 15 by President Mckinley to be governor of the district of Alaska Is a Yale man. He graduated from Yale in the nota- ble class of 1874, among his classmates being Prof. Henry Farnam of Yale, James M, Townsend, jr., of New York city, special lecturer at the Yale law school eX-Alderman George l., Dick erman of this city, Hon. George M, Gum of Milford, Alfred Thacher, At torney Edmund Zacher, and other well known New Haveners. Of MT. Brady the New York Sun of Wednesday re- marks:
 John G. Brady was reared in New York and lived in this city until twelve years ago, He is about fifty years old. He made his first visit to Alaska as a missionary representing the Presbyteri- an board of missions of this city. He labored for a short time among the In- dians in and around Sitka, and then concluded that the most effective way to convert the natives to Christianity would be to couple the religious in struction with industrial aid and train ing, He found that the Alaska h. dians were far more progressive than the redmen of the United States. They eVinced a strong liking for the mechan- ical arts, and for trade generally.
 In his relations with the Presbyter- ian board of missions here MT. Brady did not receive much encouragement, and he came on to New York to make a personal appeal for funds to enable him to establish saWmills and canning works in the territory.
 He represented to the church au- thorities that by such means he would be able to get strong hold upon the natives and at once civilize and convert them His views were not regarded fla vorably, and the requisite money was not supplied and he severed his rela- tions with the missionary board Hav- ing considerable money of his own he decided to put into effect the theory which caused the rupture with the Presbyterian authorities. He returned to Sitka, established sawmills and op- ened schools. For ten years he had been carrying on large business, and not only has he found favor among the native Indians, but he has had the satisfaction of having his views in- dorsed by Dr. Sheldon Jackson and many other educators.
 When MT. Brady came east few weeks ago to seek appointment to the | governorship he had no strong assur- ances of success, but he secured an in- troduction to the president, and his can vass was supported eventually by a | number of active and influential re- | publicans. He is an intimate friend of Governor Sheakley, whom President | Cleveland appointed"

 No wonder women weep. The wonder is that they are not oftener ill tears for all they have to bear and suffer and the saddest thing about it is how little their sufferings are understood.
