the panic which ensued
The camp is at the lumber mills of
Greer Brothers, and about 15O prison

work there. During supper the storm
came up and struck the dining shack,
demolishing it. Two negro convicts
were instantly killed by the lightning
stroke, two others, white, died from
their injuries a few minutes later. and
ten We're shocked so badly that they

About 20 of the felons, seeing their
opportunity, dashed past the guards.
who were panic stricken, and made
good their escape. After the guards re-
covered somewhat they got out their
bloodhounds, and the dogs were put
on the train, but owing to the heavy
rain which fell the tracks had been
well covered up.
only two of them We're captured, and
they had been in the hospital tent for
some days, and We're too weak to get
away. The widest excitement reigns
and hundreds of people are out in pur-
suit. The state will offer a reward if
the men are not captured.

C1ERGYMEN
IN SESSION
Meeting of the MahanOy Valley Minis
terial Association in Town.
MANY VISITING PASTORS PRESENT.
Reports Made on the Condition Of Several
of the Methodist Episcopal congre-
cations in the County Were
Of a Very Encouraging
Character as a Whole.

A meeting Of the Mahanoy Valley Minis
terial Association was held in the Methodist
Episcopal church of town to-day and proved
Of great interest to the attendants
The morning session opened at 10 a. m.
with the following clorgymen in attendance
Revs j. p Miller, st. Clair; J. E. Gallagher,

Rev. Gallagher was made secretary. The
morning session was opened with prayer by
Rev. Ellery, after which there was singing.
The regular order Of business was next
taken up and the clergymen made verbal re-
ports on the spiritual, social and financial
standing of their respective CONGREGATIONS
and with two exceptions the reports were
very favorable. The one made by Rev.
lweizig, Of Gilberton, was especially so. His
congregation is evidently greatly increasing
in members and prospering equally well in
other respects.
Rev. Gallagher, who is in charge Of the
Cumbola, New Phiadelphia and Kaska
William circuit, was not as enthusiastic vet
reported tavOrably on the condition of his
charge over last year, His most arduous
duties are in connection with Kaska William.
He is confident that there is ample material
for congregation there, but finds it hard
field to work. He is disposed to resort to the
Salvation Army methods and commence
evangelical work ON the street in order to get
the congregation at Kaska William started.
The depression in the times seems to affect
all the congregations, yet not to a discoumg-
ing degree.
When the recess was taken the clergymen
went to the parsonage of the M. E. church
and were very pleasantly entertained at
luncheon by Rev, aud Mrs Alfred Heebner
The afternoon session was opened at
o'clock with a discussion of Conference

copted p in which Reys. Cable Gallagher

EJECTMENT SUIT.
A Dispute over an Easement Taken Into
Court.

M. M Burke, Esq, counsel for Charles E.
Titman, yesterday entered suit for ejectment
at POttsville against Mine Inspector Stein.
The action is brought to recover property on
West Oak street and appears to hinge on
trouble over an easement. Mr. Titman
claims that payments have been refused
under the contract on which the property
was sold. Inspector Stein is indignant over
the matter and says he will contest the suit
to the bitter end. lie alleges that when he
purchased the property he acquired all of it,
including an alleyway, free of all incum-
brances but subsequently discovered that in
selling an adjoining property Mr.. Titman
had given a right of easement in the alley
way to the purchaser. Mr.. Stein says that
upon making this discovery he declined to
make any more payments on the property
until he was given full and clear title to all
the property, as contemplated when the sale
was made.
