that it inculcated spirit of contention

whittier's Comedians.

The.second night of Whittier's Come
dams drew big house at Portland theatre
last evening. Those who witnessed the
production of the fve-act drama "a
Wicked City," spoke highly of the per-
formance. All the company were at their
best, and the critical situations, which
We're numerous during the play, We're
greeted with outbursts of applause. The
specialties pleased and the particip ants
had to respond to encore. An exhibition
on the trapeze was given last evening by
Mr.. Tester, who does the slack wire per-
formance. Richard Crolius, who took the
part of Katie Clancy, the jolly Irish
woman, always handy with her tongue to
say things, was the star comedian, and
she kept the audience in roar. The
drunken song of John E. Kelly, between
the acts, drew great applause and he had
to respond to two encores. Miss Flora
Whittier had prominent part last night
which she assumed to advantage.
Germans AIinstrels.
There was a large attendance at River
ton yesterday afternoon and evening to
witness the performance given by Cor
mans MINISTRIES, and that all enjoyed
themselves goes without saying, for every
member of the organization is an artist
and the performance was first-class in
every particular. In the afternoon, just
as the entertainment was about to begin,
a heavy shower came up and the perform
ance had to be postponed until after the
rain had ceased. But few minutes
after the sun came out and the attendants
had wiped all the seats dry the enter
tainment commenced with fine intro
ductory overture by Prof. Chas. Leve and
the entire company. This was followed
by several vocal solos, well rendered,
which were heartily applauded. The
| Messrs. Higgins gave a..song and dance that
pleased the people. Mr.. E. NJ. Hall, in
h is songs and banjo solos, was very funny
and kept the large audience in roar all
the time with his witty sayings and
jokes. The Belmont quartette sang
several selections in fine style and received
several encores. There were several other
specialties, all of which were first class
and up-to-date. 1t is one of the best per-
formances ever given at Riverton and peo-
pie should not fail to attend.

Terrible Explosion of Powder.

A peculiar accident with shocking re-
suits occurred Tuesday afternoon at
Halle Mines colliery, in which four men
were shockingly crushed and one of
them will die. The men had loaded two
blasts by putting four kegs of powder in
each hole. They used an electric bat
terry and intended to fire both shots
together. The blast was so heavy that
they could not say whether both or only
one had gone off. The men waited four
minutes. When they reached the point
of work it was discovered that but one
hole was discharged and they under
took to detach the battery wire.
A moment later the full force of four
kegs of powder made an upheaval and
with tons of rock and debris the men
were carried high into the air. Fore
man Daniel McGeady, of West HALE
ton, was carried up on an immense rock
and when he felP back to the earth the
rock dropped on his leg, cutting if off
below the knee and breaking it at the
hip. He was otherwise cut and mangled
about the head and body and cannot
live.
Enoch Howells, an assistant. was
buried beneath a mass Of rock and slate
and sustained frightful cuts and bruises.
Chauncey Brown was thrown twenty
five feet from where the explosion oc-
Cured and was cut and bruised about
the head and body, and Thomas Morton
sustained similar injuries.
Foreman McGeady died yesterday of
his wounds.

Two Miners Killed at Alden.

BY the fall of mine carriage in the
Alden shaft Tuesday morning, John
Agnew and Thomas Kennedy were dash
ed to pieces. The men had been sent
down the shaft to cut the ice which had
prevented the carriage from running
smoothly. Starting at the top, con-
trary to the custom, they cut away the
ice until the carriage had descended
several hundred feet. Here the car
stuck and could not be moved, tie men
could not signal the engineer, and the
rope continued to coil on the bonnet of
the cage until the weight of it forced
the car past the ice formation
Then it shot down the shaft until the
taut rope snapped, when it dropped
$50 feet to the bottom, where the dead
bodies of the men were found subseduent-
ly, mass of quivering flesh and broken
bones. The carriage was smashed to
small bits.
The engineer says he had warned the
men to start cutting the ice from the
bottom, but they would not heed the
warning, insisting upon beginning at
the top.

The young ladies of st. AIMS parish,
under whose auspices the banquet and
social was given on Tuesday evening,
scored as great a success in the manner
they conducted this affair as they did
with the similar event held year ago
The banquet rooms on the third floor of
the Grand opera house were crowded
from o'clock until an early hour in the
morning, and during this time nearly
1000 people were furnished very sat
isfactory meal. On the first floor the
dancers made merry, keeping step to
the strains of St. Patrick's band, and
the pavilion was crowded at every num-
Der on the program.
One of the amusing diversions of the
evening was the cake walk, which was
won by John j. McGarvey and Miss
Madge Bonner.
The event was marked throughout by
good management and the net receipts
will show how well the object of the
banquet and social was taken care Of
The proceeds will be applied towards

Another Wow of singerly's Failure.
from the wilkesbarre Newsdealer.

From the Wilkesbarre Newsdealer
Combining the publication of a news
paper with banking is an undertaking
that few men can make success at.
This is illustrated in the case of William
Singorly, OF the Record He was very
successful in placing the Record on
prosperous basis, but when it came to
the intricacieS of banking the result was
altogether different. Embarking in the
banking business also weaned the Record,
controlled by Mr.. Singerly, away from
the lines long followed, and it lost much
OF that fearlessness which previously
marked its utterances.
1t was muzzled. both by the tanking
interests with which Mr.. Singerly was
connected, and by the Republican poll
ticians of the Quaker City, to whom he
looked for favors. A successful news.
paper publisher was spoiled in the
attempt to make a banker, and the re-
suit was not altogether unexpected.
There is hope, however, that Mr..
Singerly may re-establish himself by as
suming once more his old position as
director of the Record, and by pursuing
the same honest policy which establish
ed the Record in public favor. 1t is a
trying task for even a courageous mar,
such as Mr.. Singerly is, to advoca e
measures and policy at variance vii h
his own judgment and opinion, yet til,
is what he has been doing for some
years. Now let him drop banking and
resume his old ways, and with time he
will again set himself right.
