Brake man Ryan's Pluck,

Andrew j. Ryan, we'll known resident of
Frackville, employed as a brakeman on a
Philadelphia & Reading coal train, had a
miraculous escape from death at Mahanoy
Plane. Ryan was in the act of arranging
the patent couplers on coal car when run
away train crashed into the other end of the
draft of cars, and before Ryan could espape
he was knocked under the train. With great
presence of mind he grasped the forward
axle of the car and pluckily held on while
the swiftly moving cars dragged him hun
dred yards down the incline. The rapidly
revolving axle blistered and tore his hands in
a frightful manner while the ties and cinders
ripped his clothes and rubber boots from his
body. When the train was brought to a
standstill Ryan pluckily regained his feet
and walked home to Frackvile. With the
exception of severe bruises he was uninjured

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Dec. 31.-A surface
cavein caused rush of quicksand into
No. 2 slope of the Lehigh and Wilkes
barre Coal company at Wanamie yes
terday afternoon. Two hundred men
were at work at the time, but all glc-
ceeded in making their immediate 'es-
cape but eight. Two hours later five
of the eight made their way through
the sand and shortly before o'clock
last evening the remaining three men
came to the surface. The names of the
three men who were entombed for over
five hours are: William Williams, a
miner Henry Brown, driver, and Joe
Zelosh, laborer. They escaped to one

MRS.BOTKIN
CONVICTED
Jury Declares Her Guilty of Mu-
der in the First Degree,
TO SPEND HER LIFE IN PRISON.

During the Concluding Scenes I'm the
troll, and Sobbed Convulsively In tho
Arms Of Her sister.
San Francisco, Dec. 31-The jury in
the case of Mrs. Botkin, charged with
numbering Mrs. John p. Dunning by
sending poisoned candy to her at Do
yer, Del, returned verdict last even
Ing finding the prisoner guilty of muir
der in the first degree, with the penalty
fixed at life Imprisonment.
The argument for the prosecution
ciosed with District Attorney Hosmer
on the stand Mr.. Hosmer was cool and
collected throughout. He modulated
his voice to a nicely, and seldom spoke
passionately. The curious crowd that
gathered in the court room expected to
hear Mrs. Botkin griddled were in
measure dissatisfied, but it was Mrs
Botkin's attorneys and their methods
in the conduct Of the case that Mr.
Hosmer made the principal point Of
his attack.
Mr.. HOsmer commenced his argument
with the incidents attending the ar.
rival of the package of candy at the
Dover, Del, postotfice. He condemned
the defense for iusinuating that the
package might have been placed in the
mail bag by any one connected with the
postOftice He accused the attorneys Of
going behind the facts. He traced the
package to the Pennington home and
It's delivery to the unsuspecting Mrs.
Dunning and the passing of the bon
bons to other guests, their sickness and
the death of Mrs. Dunning and her sis
ter
Mr.. Hosmer pictured the grief Of the
parents and friends of the Pennington
and Dunning families, and concluded
with a scathlng attack upon the pris-
oner. He took up the analysis of the
candy by Chemist Wolf, of Dover, Del,
and Professor Price, Of this city. He
ridiculed the defense for it's contention
that members of the police department
in this city, or even the chemists them
selves, might have inserted the poison
to make out case. He pointed out
that Chemist Wolf had found lump
arsenic and that Dr. Price had dis
covered the presence of powdered ar
senic. The defense, in argument, as
serted that only lump arsenic had been
found.
Mr.. Hosm er concluded his address by
asking the jury to return a just YER
dict-a verdict Of murder in the first
degree. After a brief recess Judge
Cook delivered his charge to the jury,
the reading of which occupied more
than an hour. The jury then retired
to deliberate on the guilt or innocence
of the accused woman, and in four
hours returned with ther verdict.
Mrs. Botkin cried bitterly several
times during the day, and during the
lreading of the charge almost lost con-
troll Of herself. Her sister, who sat be-
side her during the progress of the
trial, took Mrs. Botkn in her arms and
comforted her as best she could, but
the tears could not be stayed.

EDITOR EVENING HERALD Would you
be kind enough to again publish in your
valuable paper whether there is revenue
stamp required on all orders drawn on the
treasury Of a secret organization. &c.
The question presented has been mooted
since the requirements of the revenue law
bearing upon the matter went into effect and
there have been conflicting opinions but,
careful attention to the matter justifes the
statement that stamps are required. Pen
rose A. McClain, Internal Revenue Collector
of Philadelphia, has so decided in hypo-
thetical case presented to him by the State
officers of the p o. S. of A. and as the
secret societies in this district are within the
part of this state coming within his jurisdic-
tion, they will be safe in abiding by his
decision. Mr.. Jacob S. Williams, of town,
has an interesting paper on the subject,
which is too lengthy for publication.-ED.

A COSTLY cow.
Moses Frezinski Fined For Cruelty to
Animals.

Justice Toomey last night gave hearing
to Moses Frezinski on charge of cruelty to
animals. on complaint of Health officer
Conry. The case was referred to in last
evenings issue of the HERALD, but at the
hearing il developed that a mistake had been
made, the warrant having been issued for
Moses Rubinski. In justice to the latter
gentleman, it should be stated that he had no
connection with the affair.
The complaint against Frezinski was that
he drove a crippled COW through the town
yes terday and repeatedly abused the animal
by beating il with horsewhip and twisting
its tail Mr. M. ID. Malone was the chief
wi ness and said the poor beast was hardly
abo to walk, even under the punishment ap-
piled. Frezinski was found guilty and he
was fined $40. The costs amounted to IS 80,
and Frezinski paid the total amount of SIS. 80
to he Justice. Frezinski had paid $40 for
the COW in the morning, so that the total cost
of the animal to him was $2S.S0
Borough Solicitor Burke represented the
Boa rd of Health in the case and intended
entering another prosecution against Frezin-
ski for offering diseased animal at a slaugh-
ter house, but it was found that the evidence
as to FrezinskPs intention to slaughter the
animal was not sufficiently strong, and the
charge was dropped

1t is not saying too much in pronouncing
the production of THE Burglar" at Fergu-
sons theatre last night by the Myers-Ley-
burne Company as equal, If not superior to
the high priced productions of the play that
have been seen at that house, not excepting
the excellent presentation given by the
Scammon Company, which was so favorably
commented upon couple of seasons ago.
The Burglar" is excellently adapted to
the resources of the company, and if
there was any doubt that the organi-
zation is one of the strongest that ever
played in this town at popular prices,
1t was wiped out by last nights per-
formance. Little Irene Myers Interpretation
of 'Editha" was remarkably clever, and
John D'Ormond proved himself an actor of
marked ability in the character of the burg
lar. The scene in which the latter is sur
prised by "Editha" was superb piece of
work, and the effect upon the audience was
unmistakabe. Between the acts pleasing
specialties were given by Little Irene, Hattie
Chew, Mart Maley and Frank Wallace, all of
which were highly appreciated. Tonight
the engagement closes with a production of
the ever popular BLACK Flag"

Strange Transactions and False Statements
Alleged by Investigating Committee.

Publication is made of the report on the
Girard Saving Fund and Loan Association, of
Girardville, as made by the special auditors
appointed to investigate the condition of the
association. The report was read before

and it is to be published in pamphlet form.
1t is voluminous and would fill several news
paper columns.
The report says "a strange transaction
occurred in the maturing of shares in the
first series" and "a comparison of our state.
ments with those issued by your board of
directors will show that grossly misleading
and Intentionally false statements were
resorted to by the managers of the fund,
