COTTON GOODS.

But the interest of Providence in cotton
manufacture cannot be measured by the
Mills devoted TO that industry within its
corporate limits. Nor is it's manufacturing

QUAY CONVENTION.
1t is amusing to the initiated to read the
articles in the Philadelphia papers ON the re-
suit Of the county convention. The over
jealous correspondents make it appear that
the ant-Quayites controlled the convention,
while the truth of the matter is it was in
every sense of the term a Quay gathering.
The friends of the Beaver man not only pre-
dominated, but secured the passage of res
olutions endorsing both Senators Quay and
Penrose and Congressman ~Brumm. If the
representatives Of the party in that assembly
were not friendly to these leaders, they
surely would not favor an endorsement such
as was given them. Schuylkill is still for
Quay, and will remain friendly to the
greatest political general for some time to
come. X-RAY.

KILLED BY SCRAPERS.
Nephew of Councilman James Mangled at
Gilberton Yesterday.

Gilberton Yesterday.
A friRhtful accident occurred at the Gilber-
ton colliery at about three o'clock yesterday
afternoon, by which James Thomas, Jr., q
bright and industrious boy sixteen years of
age, met his death. The deceased was a son
of James Thomas of Turkey Run, and
nephew of Councilman James, of town. 1t
was the boys duty to watch the scraper line
and see that coal, or rock, did not get caught
in the links. Should he see any
such distractions 1t was his duty to
take them from the links and prevent the
chain from being thrown of at the star" or
wheel that propels the chain. 1t appears
that while the boy was watching the passing
chain he saw piece of rock in a link. He
stopped to take it out and in doing so got
close to the star" which caught his clothing
and dragged him into the scraper trough. 1t
was necessary to cut the line in three places
to get the body out. Death was practically
instantaneous. The victims back was broken,
his abdomen torn open and almost every
bone from the waist up was broken The
parents are almost distracted with grief over
the accident
The funeral will take place from the
residence Of the deceased's parents at Turkey
Run tomorrow afternoon at o'clock.
Services will be conducted at the house,
commencing at 1870 p. m. Intement will be
made in the Odd Fellows cemetery.
