BATH IN A TAR VAT.
James llOran, of PalO Alto. Had n
Narrow Escape from Death.


Pottsville, April 2S.-James Horan, of
Palo Alto, a laborer employed at the
lower PottsVille shops met with a
unique accident shortly before noon
yesterday, which might have been at
tended with fatal consequences.
Horan is employed about the tar
vat. The receptacle is about six feet
deep and always contains pitch to
the depth of about five feet. The
pitch is used to paint cast iron pipes
and cores which are lowered into the
vat by means of a crane, ana after
having been submerged in the vicious
mass for Il few moments are with
drawn and placed to one side 20 dry.
The work usually keeps several men
busy.
Horan, in endeavorig to adjust the
big hook OF the crane, lost his bal
ance and fell into the vat. He did
not tumble headlong or he would have
met his death. In falling he caught
hold of a bar, which served to prevent
his being entirely submerged in the
pitch The lower portion Of his body
wenc into the liquid to the waist, while
one side of his body and his head
dipped beneath the surface.
Iioran's fellow workmen came
promptly to his rescue, and he was
iished out apparently unhurt, for the
pitch happened to be but lukewarm,
but his clothing, hair, eyes and cars
fairly dripped with the resinous COM
position.

DEBATE IN THE SENATE.
Mr.. McQuOwn, of Clearfeld, Argues
with Mr.. Kaufman.

Harrisburg, April Ex-senator Nc
Quown, Of Cleartield, precipitated a
rather bitter debate in the senate this
evening when he asked that the act
TO reorganze the board of trustees of
the Pennsylvania State college at
Bellefonte, Centre county, be consid-
cred on second reading. Mr.. Kaufman
started the ball rolling by protesting
vigorously against the passage of the
bill. This is a scheme" declared he,
'to unload this college ON the state.
We have already spent too much money
there. If We have money to spend we
had better give it to an institution
like the University of Pennsylvania"
Mr.. MCQuoWn asserted that Mr..
Kauffman's argument was chest
nut" I'VE have heard it before" said
he. This bill does not provide for the
expenditure of one cent of the states
money"
IF my argument Is a chestnut" re-
tOrted Mr.. Kaufman, "the bill is GER
tainly a chestnut. This institution has
been managed in the interests of the
people of Centre county and not in the
interest Of education. The state has
already given 1t $1,000, 600; but the coli
lege has never been a success it will
never be a success. Do not let us spend
money there simply because 1t is the
home of the governor. We have paid
enough already for that whistle"
Mr.. Cochran denied that the institu-
tion is dishonesty managed and after
some further talk, the bill passed Sec
Ond reading.
The act making voting compulsory
passed second reading, and a batch of
bills passed first reading. The bill pro-
N'ding that all municipal contracts in

three months before they go into eff
feet, passed the senate finally by vote
of 35 to 2, those voting in the. negative
being Messrs, Osborn and Grouse, Of

THE UNLUCKY ASPHODEL..
British steamship Towed Into Port
with Coal supply Exhausted.

Philadelphia, April 2S.-The British
steamship Asphodel, Captain Matthias,
from Antwerp, laden with a cargo of
sugar valued at about $4,000 came
into port tonight, towed by a tug, with
not enough coal left in her bunkers to
keep UP a sufficient head of steam to
turn over her propeller.
The Asphodel, which is known in
these waters as an unlucky ship, had
a narrow escape from becoming totally
disabled at sea. The propeller was
kept going just long enough to get her
into safe anchorage at 10 p. m. Tues
day, and the start up the bay yesterday
morning was made with steam kept up
blythe bunker sweepings.
Captain Matthias said that some days
hardly any headway was made. and
when yet many miles from the Della
ware Capes the coal began running
short. Realizing what tremendous sal
wage would have to be paid were the
ship with such a valuable cargo found
by a passing craft disabled, Captain
Matthias determined to reach port un-
assisted.
The crew was set to work breaking
up every particle of wood on board, and
in this way the coal was made to last
until harbor was reached.

of an instructor of manual training in

and in the parlor young Geyer tried
to hide behind a sofa, and just as his
pursuer was about to plunge the knife
into little Geyer, Mrs. French ap-
peared and with her broom knocked

Lancaster, Pa, April 2S.--Thc re-
port of the grand jury yesterday re-
commended d new prison and an addi-
tion to the insane asylum. The prison
inspectors were condemned for pay
ing more than the market price for
supplies and for having their books
50 badly kept that investigation is al
most an impussibility.
Judge Brubaker approved the re-
commcndation of the jury and said
a new prison could be economically
built, to be paid for by the next gem
GRAFTON, and that it would not be
necessary to raise taxes. The court
particularly censurod the inspectors
for buying clothes at $3.50 for dis
charged prisoners. He said he wore
clothes that cost MIN So p suit and he
could not see the necessity oC q dis
charged convict wearing clothes that
