AT about nine o'clock this morning Their
was considerable excitement on Jardin street
between Centre and Lloyd streets, due to an
explosion in the residence of A. j. shoener's
The object that exploded was a "watei

of fire was sounded, but the blaze expected
by the scattering of red hot Goals did not
materialize and services Of the department
were not required.
Mrs. Ada jackson, of Norristown, who is a
guest of the shoener family, with her three
children, was a victim of the explosion and
will be confined to bed for several weeks.
She was standing close to the range when it
exploded and sustained a comminuted frac-

The johnston MURDER TrieI.

NEW BLOOMFIELD, Pa, Jan. 26. The
morning session of the Johnston trial

counsel over the admission of testimony

New Bloomfield on the night of the muir

contained securities valued at many thou
sands Of dollars, to provide for counsel
fees or means Of escape, Many queer in

points brought out strongly were that he
was fond of looking into a mirror and
fixing his mustache, and had a hai,ii5s CT

experts from Philadelphia, Trenton and

The anthracite mining and transporting
interests, we understand, have concluded Ia
continue working in harmony. and conse-
quently there will be a radical restriction of
mining during the remainder of this month
and in February. This has already resulted
a tirmer market, and with the colder weather
and igher winds Of the past several davs
all along the Atlantic coast, which has caused
an increased consumption of fuel, the prices
for coal will stiten somewhat. The Reading
railroad is working its collieries on short
time, about two or three days a week and the
Lehigh Coal and Navigation has suspended
the operations Of its collieries until Febru-
airy 1. The other anthracite mining com

publication Of Fao-slmilo Ballots.

HARRISBURG, Jan. 26-Deputy Attorney
General Elkin has given an opinion to
Secretary Reeder constituting section 10 Of
the ballot law Of 1898 as amended by the
act of June 20, 1895, in reference to the
publishing-of the general election procla-
nation. Under the act Of 1898 the sheriff
in many counties published a fac-simile of
the official ballot. The act of 1895 amends
section 10 Of the act of 1898, and the ques-
ton arises whether it is necessary under
the provisions of the latter act to publish
a fac-simile of the official ballot. Mr.. Ell
kin holds that it is not 81 am of the
opinion, therefore" he says, "that the
general election proclamation under the
act of 1895 does not require a fac-simile Of
the official ballot to be published therein,
but such proclamation must contain an
enumeration Of the officers to be elected,
and give a list of all nominations made as
provided by law and to be voted for in
each county. The form in which the
proclamation shall be published can be
decided upon by the sheriff and other
officials entrusted with the execution Of
the laws"
