A SERIOUS FALL.
Miss McHale, of PottsviIle, Meets with an
Accident.

Miss McHale, of Pottsville, Meets with an
Accident.
Miss May McHale, a prominent young lady
Of Pottsville, met with a serious accident at
the Lehigh Valley depot Saturday evening.
Miss McHale came to own to visit her sister,
wife of Michael ]. Muldoon, proprietor of
the Shenandoah drug store. The train ar
rived at 6:4s and as Miss McHale was alight-
ing she slipped and fell in such a manner that
her left hip struck the bottom step of the
car with great force. The lady fell to the
ground. Several passengers hastsned to her
assistance and she was assisted to an upright
position, but the moment Miss McHale at
tempted to rest upon her left foot the entire
limb gave way under the weight
and again the unfortunate lady fell. Miss
McHale was assisted into the depot
and later removed in a carriage to Mr.. Null
doon's home on West Centre street, where she
received medical attendance. Drs. d. j.
Langton, S. c. Spalding, g.. NJ. Hamilton
and d. w. Stein made an examination Of the
injury and concluded that there was dislo-
cation at the hip joint, but when efforts were
made to restore the joint to its normal con-
dition they failed The case became a
p~uzzling one and the doctors have not de-
cided upon the character Of the injury.
There is undoubtedly a dislOcation, but
whether it is accompanied by a fracture, or
some other complication, has not been deter
mined. The limb is contracted, so that it is
about three inches shorter han the right
limb. Miss McHale will be disabled by the
injury for some time and will remain at Mr..
Muldoon's home for the present.

TO Death.
Special to EVENING HERALD.
MAHANoY CITY, Nov, 15.-At about eight
o'clock last evening a lamp standing on a
parlor table in the house Of William Cree ex-
ploded. Miss Hannah Reifsnyder, a sister of
Mrs, Cree, was sitting at the table and directly
in front of the lamp. The burning oil scat
tered all over her clothing. The unfortunate
woman ran to the kitchen. Mr.. Cree followed
aud threw a piece of carpet over the victim,
who broke away from him and ran into the
yard, where she fell into a swoon. Several
%neighbOrs helped Mr.. Cree in extinguishing
the flames and the victim was carried into the
house. She is badly burned about the alb
domen, but it is not thought that the injuries
will prove fatal. Mr.. Cree had his hands
severely burned in trying to wrap the carpet
about the victim.

KOCH,S DECISION.
West Mahanoy Township school Directors
Must STAND Trial.

Must STAND Trial.
Special TO EVENING HERALD.
PoTTsv1LLE, Nov. 15.-On the motion tc
quash the b lis Of indictment in the taisde-
meanor cases against the School Directors OF
West Mahanoy Township, Judge Koch this
morning rendered q verbal decision denying
the application.
One Of the reasons given by counse for the
defendants as TO why the bills Of indictment
should be quashed was that the bill Of indict-
ment was not signed by the foreman" Of
the Grand Jury, but hat it was signed by
zone Ben Kaufman and that there is no
record evidence of the appointment Of Kauf-
man as foreman, OF that he was sworn rs
such.
Judge Koch stated, and cited authorities to
sustain his opinion, that the indictment, II
defective for this reason, can be amended
He also stated that at the hearing the Clerk
Of the Courts clearly established the fact
that Kaufman was regularly elected foreman
Of the Grand Jury, and that he was sworn as
such according to law.
In reference to the omission Of Martin
Dixon's name as a member Of the School
Board in some Of the counts, his Honor held
that this was no just reason for quashing the
Indictment, as IL was q question OF proof lOi
the jury trying the case to determine from
the facts produced. That, while Martin
Dixon was a member of the Board, he may
not have been guilty of the charges made
against the other directors.
As to the charge that the Indictment in the
9th count charges five persons as the Boart
Of Directors, and in the 9sth count an otfenst
against only four persons, his Honor stated
that this does not prejudice the defendants
When they come up for trial the indictment
is plain enough for any jury to understand
1t, and that is all the law requires.
In conclusion Judge Koch stated that the
motion to quash the Indictment was refused
for the reasons stated.
George J. Wadlinger, Esq, one of tn,
counsel for the defendants, asked for an ex.
oeption, which was noted.
The trial Of the cases against the Schoo
Directors will be opened on Wednesday,

ENGLAND ALSO CONSENTS
To join in an International Monetary Confer
ence Next Winter.

New York. July 30-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: Official
Information just received at Washington
indicates that Great Britain will consent
to join in an international monetary con-
ference, to be held in this city next
winter.
This information is a complete confirm
alton OF the cable dispatches from Lon
don published few days ago, which
stated that Great Britain's representa-
tives had received the proposition of the
United States ENJOYS more favorably
than had been expected The statements
received here Indicate that the mission of
Special ENJOYS Stevenson Paine and
Wolcott will be SO far successful as to in
sure the meeting of another international
monetary conference.
Though Great Britain has not yet made
an official response to the proposition of
the United States ENJOYS. an intima ton
has been given to the representatives of
this government that England will soon
consent to participate in an international
conference in Washington. This report
comes through official channels and gives
satisfaction to those who hope an inter-
national agreement is possible.
Reports received from the special en-
voys also state that the reception in
France was far more favorable than the
press reports indicated at the time of
their visit, and that France practically
accepted the proposal to join in con-
ference and abide by its results. provided
Great Britain could be induced to do
likewise.

Il have forwarded to Mayor Strong
my resignation of the position which

in the methods of obtaining evidence

letter concerning the manner in which
the police procure evidence against dis

Mayor Strong says:
Relating to the particular subject on
which you dwell as the reasons for
your resignation, / sincerely regret
that you have not found it consistent
with your views and principles to
evince your dissent from the position
of your associates by the record of
your vote, while continuing to CO.

not connected with the questions up
on which you so radically differ from
them. However, your resignation has
evidently been well considered and is
so worded as to leave me no other al
tentative other than to accept 1t u.s.

The mayor said he had selected the
man who is to succeed Col. Grant, but
he would not announce his name. The
appointment will be made, tomorrow.
