ireland Called Many Names.

Few countries have suffered so many
changes of name as Ireland. In the time
of Ptolemy the island was known as
Scotia. Diodorus Siculus calls the island
Irs, or Irisi; in the "De Mundo, cred
tied by some scholars to Aristotle, it is
called Irenne; in the "Argonautica of
Orpheus" it appears as Irinus; Strabo
calls it Irene; Caesar, Tacitus and Pliny
mention it as Hibernia; Mela called it
Juverna. The native names in Celtic
are Ir, Fri, or Erin. Plutarch mentions
1t under the name Of Ogygia. The name
Ireland is no doubt derived from the
native Ir or Fri, but when it came into
general use is a question concerning
which scholars are much at variance.

Graves distinction, but simply does the
duty which comes to him with marked
firmness and execution. Officers OF the
division say that he was all along the
line during the attack at San Juan,
making up to some extent for the IN
fortunate absence of General Wheeler,
who was engaged elsewhere.
Another gallant aid of the cavalry
division was Captain R. l.. Howe OF
General Summers staff. Sumner com
manded the division all the morning OF
July 1, and Howe carried orders all
over the field under fire, one OF the
very, very few who kept in saddle
through the hail of bullets. He is tall,
athletic and very intelligent Texan,
with native traits to make him splen-
did soldier. 1t is no reflection upon the
courage of the aids to state that but
few of them rode up San Juan hill.
Many Of them were without mounts,
and some were compelled to dismount
back on the route in order to get
through distractions to carry orders
where horse could not 60. The gen.
eral officers who had horses left them
in the shelter afforded by the river
basin, and even Colonel Roosevelt con-
tradicts the early statements of his over
jealous admirers by declaring that he
dismounted at the first wire fence in
the creek bottom and didn't see his
horse again that day.
Lieutenant E. F. Koehler Of WikoH's
staff, the quartermaster of the brigade,
was on horseback all day. He rode a
common government horse, which be-
haved SO well under fire that he put in
a bid to buy him for his regular saddle
horse Koehler worked his way from
the ranks to a commission and is one
of three brothers who met the Spaniards
in battle. The commissary of Wikoff's
brigade, Lieutenant Paul B. Malone,
also carried orders that day under fire.
He was close to Wikoff and Worth
when these two officers fell within 8
few minutes of each other at the ford
of the San Juan known as "Hell' Cross
ing"
1t was a staff officer Of Wikoff's bri-
gade who proved "mascot" for Raj
ferty and F company of the Seventy
first Lieutenant Charles Tayman was
one of the brigade staff that day, and
as three of the commanding officers fell
one after another Tayman was COM
PEELED to race the field over again and
again to bear the tidings to the next in
rank. He waded the creek and climbed
the hill at least three times, and once
was stricken down with something like
sunstroke. A boy in one of the regi-
ments saw him lying helpless and I'M
conscious in the tall grass, and bringing
a hatful of water from San Juan river
restored him to consciousness. After
Wikoff and Worth fell at the crossing
Tayman set out to notify Lieutenant
Colonel Liscum of the Twenty-fourth
that he was in command He found the
stalwart veteran striding up the slope
at the head of his negroes, gave him
the message and was barely out Of reach
when Liscum dropped. Then Tayman
covered the slope again, to find Lieu

Great Telephone Deal,

AT Albany on Monday the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company filed
a certificate with the secretary of state
announcing an increase in the capital
stock of S75, 100000. This is $50, 900, 900
over the former capitalization, and one
of the heaviest increases that has ever
been recorded. The American Bell
Telephone Company, chartered under
the laws of Massachusetts. is the parent
of the American Telephone and Telc-
graph Company, as it also is of the New
York Telephone Company.
1t is said that the purpose of the in
crease was to absorb the parent con-
cern, the American Bell Telephone
Company, so that the latter could work
under the liberal and elastic charter
which the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company holds in New York
state. The corporation laws in Massa-
chusetts are strict and rigidly enforced,
and several times the Bell Company has
run afoul of them.
The capital of the Bell Company is
less than S26, 600, 900, but this does not
represent its market value. Its net
earnings are about 81, 200, 600 annually,
and it has tremendous surplus.

Anti-QuaysO rganization.

A Hazleton dispatch in the Philadel-
phia Press yesterday read as follows:
The anti-Quay supporters of this, the
Fourth legislative district of Luzerne
county, have now perfected a perman-
ent organization and will at once begin
the campaign for state delegates. They
have named Amandus C. Oswald, a
prominent Freeland merchant, and J
Ii. Malkames, a school teacher, as their
candidates for state delegates. Both
men are ardent supporters of the Repub-
lican cause, men of good character and
who have openly declared against Quay
ism and Quay methods. Although the
contest will be the most bitter in wears.
the success of the ant-Quay supporters
is conceded. The movement seems to
be gaining strength daily, and now in
cludes the best element of the Republi-
can party"
In conversation with a TRIBUNE rep
resentatve last evening Mr.. Oswald
authorized us to state that he is not II
candidate for state delegate. He has
not been asked and has no desire to
engage in politics. as his business affairs
occupy his entire time.

Impeachment of Three Judges.

A stir was created in Scranton on
Tuesday by the announcement that pro-
ceedings had been commenced at Harris
burg to impeach Judges r. w. Arch
bald, Il. W. Gunster aud Ii. NJ. Edwards,
of the court of Lackawanna county. A
petition was read in the lower house at
Harrisburg. by Representative Fow, of
Philadelphia, requesting the impeach-
ment.
The impeachment is asked on the
ground OF certain alleged unconstitu-
tional acts in connection with the trial
of the cases of John and James Jennings
against the Lehigh Valley Railroad
Company, which grew out Of the disaster
at Mud Run, Carbon county, on October
10, 1888.
The case of John Jennings against
the company was tried September 20,
1892, and verdict of 5000 granted in
favor of the plaintiff, which was set
aside by the trial judge as excessive
From that time to this the court has
been attacked.
So sensational were MANY of the
statements made that Cornelius Smith.
attorney for the Jennings, was dis
barred. He appealed to the supreme
court and the disbarment was sustained:
but he was permitted after two years to
make application for reinstatement,
provided he did not in the meantime re-
peat the offenSes.
When Smith several months ago APP
piled for reinstatement Judge Purdy, of
Wayne county, who passed upon the
matter refused to allow Smith to return
to the bar
Last fall he went before the voters of
Lackawanna as cadidate for Judge on
a platform that contained recital of
his alleged wrongs. He was defeated
and Immediately tried to have the
election of his successful rival. +. W..
Gunster, set aside. In this he was also
unsuccessful.
He has heretofore endeavored to get
the attorney general of the state to be-
gin impeachment proceedings against
the Lackawanna judges.

perience in East Mahanoy tunnel Mon
day evening. A long train of heavy
gondolas, loaded with bituminous coal.
was being conveyed through the tunnel,
and when in the midst the steam of the
forward engine. for some ineXpicable
reason, was insufficient to take it
farther. The pushing engine made
vain efforts to move the train ahead
and both engines pulled the tunnel full
of bituminous sulphur.
The crew, almost exhausted, were
fast being driven to desperation. The
engineer sank to the floor of the cab
unconscious. Noticing this, the fire.
man jumped into the cab and made an
almost superhuman effort, and succeed
ed in slowly starting the train, which
then proceeded through the tunnel.
