DIED AT THE HOSPITAL.
Patrick Scully, of GirardviIle, Died From
Injuries Received.



Girardvile, Aug. 24-This morning Pat
rick Scully, former resident of this place
but now located at Philadelphia, died at the
Miners hospital at Fountain Springs from
injuries received during Il quarrel with
George Quinn at Gimrdville on Saturday
night.
Scully is 30 years old and was formerly a
resident Of this place. He has a sister resid.
ing here who has been going with young
Quinn, and Scully objected to the intimacy
and warned the young man to desist in his
attentions. He saw them together Saturday
evening, and in a war of words Scully
struck Quinn aud knocked him down. Later
in the evening the men met and the quarrel
renewed, resulting in Quinn striking Scully
on the temple with IA large rock. The latter
fell unconscious, and from the effects of this
wound he died this morning.
Quinn is 20 years old, and was arrested
shortly after the fracas, and placed in Jail
without bail. He will now have to answer
to the charge of murder.
There is another story which has Just been
made public, as to the cause of the trouble.
1t is said Scully and Quinn visited Shamokin
some time ago, and while there the former
got into trouble and a Shamokin man went
his bail. The bailee received an anonymous
letter from Philadelphia saying that Scully
was not behaving himself and was likely to
jump his bail. Scully charged Quinn with
writing the letter and demanded that he
write another letter in order to compare the
hand writing. The two men and Miss SculIy
agreed to meet at Ashland Saturday night
for that purpose, but Quinn was the only one
to put In an appearance, and meeting Miss
Scully and her brother later chided them
about not keeping their appointment. The
result was quarrel and Scully receiving the
fatal blow on the head

PORTO RICO LETTER,


The HERALD to-day gives to its readers a
letter from a tOwnsmen in the volunteer
service in Porto Rico. While the protocol
serves to rob the communication of the
freshness which would otherwise attach to it,
nevertheless 1t will no doubt prove interest
ing reading to many. 1t is written by Meade
Peters, for several years a caterer in town.
and whose wife and son still continue to live
here. Mr.. Peters enlisted in Co. F. 4th
Regt., p. ", U. S. A. The letter is dated
Aug 9Th, but it was several days later before
the writer succeeded in getting it in the
mails and the post mark is Brooklyn, Aug.
goth" The letter then passed into the
hands of relatives and was then given for
publication. 1t is rs follows

am in excellent health and did not have a
sick minute while on the ship. Almost every
one was awfully seasick. We had an awful
storm at sea the first night We had our
cabin windows out and it was beautiful
moonlight night Just as we got outside of
the bay and on to the Atlantic Ocean the
storm struck us The huge ship, the Seneca,
commenced to rock and pitch and the rain
and waves rushed in on our hammocks, BY

Everything is SO funny, but the air is so
good don't think it has been hotter than
so in the SUI. The fruit is grand. We have
cocoanut trees in camp and there are from
10 to 40 cocOanuts ON each tree. We get them
every day. Then there are bananas, lemons
and fruit the natives call mangos. Can
talOupes are fine and the lemons and lines
nice. sugar is issued every day and we have
lemonade every night, and sometimes all
day, for the cooks. There is plenty corn
Ihe natives eat corn altogether When the
ship unloads the hard tack box is dropped
ON purpose, and then you should see the
natives go for them. They are lust crazy
after them. We can get anything for hard.

CHARGES BAD FAITH.
Cuban Leader Declares That General Shat
ter Violated Pledge Made to


New York, Aug. 2i.-Brigadier Cen
eral Joaquin Castillo, who accompanied
General Shafter to Cuba as a represent
attve of the Cuban army and the Cus
ban civil government, has just returned
TO this city. He was at the Cuban
tunta here yesterday, and when asked
as to the friction existing between
Americans and Cubans at Santiago he
said that the matter had been grossly
exaggerated, and that so far as the
Cubans are concerned they have the
utmost faith In the American govern
ment and are confident that the pledges
made In their behalf Will be carried out.
while deeply grateful" he said,
"for what the Americans have done for
u.s. we are desirous of disproving the
charges that have been brought
against us as a people. Personally 1
must say that General Shafter has al
ways treated me with the greatest
courtesy. His misunderstanding with
General Garcia was occasioned by the
fact that specified promises had been
made to the latter which General Shat
ter either would not or could not carry
out. Before the American forces land
ed General shafter and Admiral Samp-
son met General Garcia at Aserraderos
for a conference, at which was pres
ent. General Shafter there, of his own
accord, promised Garcia that on the
surrender Of the city II would be turn
ed over to him. So late as the day
before the surrender General Shafter
told me that the Spanish prisoners
would be marched out of the city and
the CubanR would be allowed to enter"

THE PUBLIC MEETING.
1t VIII bo Held Tomorrow Evening In
Robbins Opera House.

Robbins Opera House.
Circulars have been issued calling for
meeting of the taxpayers of the borough to
be held in Robbins opera house tomorrow
evening, at o'clock, for the purpose of
taking action on the proposed reservoir to
be erected at the pumping station at Bran.
donville. The question has been discussed
pretty thoroughly since the last meeting of
Council, when it was decided to build the
reservoir on force account" the capacity to
be 80, 900 900 gallons.
There was u rumOr on the streets to-day
that a special meeting of Council would be
held this evening to take further action in
the matter, but up TO the time of going to
press no cards had been issued, aud there will
probably be no meeting until after the ac-
ton OF the taxpayers is known. The mem
bers of the Borough Council should encour-
age, rather than hinder public expression on
the question. There is no better way of
securing the sentiments Of their con-
stituents. Couucilmen are elected to legis.
late in the interest Of the people at large, and
If the taxpayers favor the erection of an
additional storage reservoir, to cost probably
not less than $50 0OJ, Council will not only
be justified in proceeding with the work, but
in forcing its completion as soon as possible.
On the other hand, should the men who
pay the taxes and bear the burden Of the
local government, deem it an UNIV Use cxpen-
diture no Councilman will be justified in yot
ing to proceed further with the work. 1t
Will not do to say that few malcon-
tents or men with axes to grind"
are at the head of the move
ment to oppose the construction of the dam.
Tor such is not the case. Some of the most
public-spirited citizens, who are warm
friends of the borough works, are the prime
movers. and the meeting tomorrow evening
will no doubt develop this fact. 1t is not
question as to the desires of the
individual members of Council but rather
what are the wishes of the taxpayers.
1t is to be hoped that there will be large
turn out at .he meeting tomorrow evening,
and that those present will come prepared to
give public expression to their views on the
subject. Should that expression be unfavor-
able to the erection of the dam.
the members of Council, in Justice
to themselves and the people they represent
can do nothing else bu. rescnd their former
action. To refuse to do that would place
them IN position which we are confident
none of them would encourage.
Bear in mind that the public meeting will
be held tomorrow night, at o'clock, in
Robbins opera house, and let there be full
and free discussion.
