On Saturday evening, last, the resi-
dence of A. d. Brown, of Lost Creek,
was the scene of brilliant affair.
Mr.. Brown recently resigned his posi-
tion as outside foreman at Packer No. 5
cOlliery. In appreciation of his integrity and
kindness to man and master, the young and
old who laborer under his charge con-
tributed to present something in acknowl-
edgement of their good feeling toward the
retired gentleman. At 8 o'clock p IN. the
purchasing committee entered the Brown
dwelling with the prize, gold watch and
chain, purchased at Thomas Buchanan's, ,Shen-
andoah, who was contributor in a goodly
sum, voluntarily. James Whalen, of Lost
Creek, made the presentation speech, which
was very much appreciated and applauded.
The gift was thankfully received. After
piano selections by Miss Brown and
several songs the guests repaired to the din
ing room, where sumptuOus and bountiful
repast confronted them. All appeased their
appettes and, after few more songs, all hied
away to their respective homes. We know
not Mr.. Browns intentions, what futurities
he expects, nor what position he aspires to,
but we do know, where'er he goes, most
men, retired from position as he held, can't
truthfully boast of what he carries With
him-the good will and good words of every
person who had dealings with him. That
luck may attend him and his family, where
ever they go, is the wish Of the following
gentleman and all they represent Thomas

THE FIELD
OF POLITICS
State Delegates Elected in the Fourth
District To-day.
AN ALTERNATE DECLINES TO ACT
E. ]. Gensemer and T B Grifnths the State
Delegates Elected County Chairman
Quail Secures Headquarters
and Announces Some Of
His Appointments.

Pottsvile, Aug. 7.-The Fourth Legislative
district convention was held here this morn
ing, in Centennial hall, and there was a large
representation. County Chairman Quail
called the convention to order and was made
permanent chairman. lie selected Daniel
Duffy, of st. Clair, as his secretary and II.
II. Fleisher and W. w. Moore were made
tellers
The Fourth district is entitled to two state
delegates and the names Of three candidates
we're presented to the conven lion. namely /:
E. j. Gensemer, of Good Springs; T. b.
Gfifiths and Frank Moore, both of Pottsvile.
There was but one ballot which resulted as
follows; Gensemer, 70; Grifiiths. So; Moore
35. Messrs. Gensemer and Grifiths were de-
clared elected.
Messrs Frank Moore. Of Pottsville, and
Washington Orme, of 81. Clair, were elected
as alternates Mr.. Moore was bitterly op-
posed by former Congressman Brumm and
his friends, who declared that he should not
be elected as alternate, but he was successful.
however
sub-TIessurer John F. Fipney was in
attendance as a delegate to the convention
and voted for Moore.
The committee on resolutions presented a
report recommending the election Of the
entire Republican county ticket and the
adoption Of the resolutions presented by the
county convention. 1t has been learned that
resolutions had been presented to the COM
mittee endorsing certain leaders of the Re-
publican party in this county, but they were
pigeon holed by the committee.
The convention was very lively one, al
though it lasted but about thirty minutes,
and much interest was manifested in it.
After the convention adjourned Mr. Moore
made the statement. as the delegates were
leaving, that he declined to serve as an al.
ternate state delegate.
County Chairman Charles f. Quail this
afternoon made the announcement of the ap.
pointment of portion of his Official cabinet
as follows; Peter McCabe, Pottsville. first
secretary; Carl Wagner, Pottsville, second
secretary; Nicholas Brownmiller, isnitor.
The County Chairman has secured cozy
headquarters in the Schissler building, on the
second floor. They embrace a suite of -four
rooms. He says the appointment of the
executive committee will be announced in q
| few day.
Mr.. McCabe was formerly Sheriff of Sohuyl.
kill county and has always been very prom.
inent in Republican politics of the county.
Carl Wagner was. until recently, law
student in the Office Of A, w. Schalck, Esq.
| Up to the time of the convention there was
spirited contest for the position of first
secretary of the county committee, Charles
A. Snyder, Esq, being urged for the position
by seven of the ten Republican candidates
besides all the Republican newspapers of the
county. On the other hand, he was bitterly
opposed by Mr.. Brumm.

A FATAL KICK.
Alfred Owens, a Driver, Meets Death a
Packer No. 3 CoiIIerv,

Packer No. CollIery.
An accident which at frst appeared to be
surrounded by mysterious circumstances
resulted in the death Of Alfred Owens, of
West Lloyd street. on Saturday afternoon, at
Packer No. colliery. The first inhmation
the officials and employees Of the colliery had
Of the accident was when the mule, which
was in charge of the deceased, who was
employed as driver, approached the bottom
Of the slope unattended. As this was uu-
usual several Of the employees went into the
gangway to learn If the driver had met with
an accident. They found his dead body
lying between the rails of the gangway. His
neck was broken. The body was removed to
the family residence.
The manner in which the driver met his
death was n mystery to the colliery officials,
buS a plausible theory was arrived at.
namely: that when the deceased was on his
way out the gangway after delivering the
last trip Of cars to the miners, and while rid
ing on the mules back, the animal reared
and tossed the driver against the top of the
ganRway with such force as to break his
neck. There was a wound upon the forehead
but this is attributed to the fall to the rails
Deputy Coroner Cardin has impauelled n
jury and will hold Gn inquest to take testi-
mony bearing upon the circumstances attend
ing the accident.
The victim was 25 years old and is sur
vived by wife and three children, aged re-
spectively three years, two years and ten
weeks. The funeral will take place to-mor-
row. Services will be held in the Calvary
Baptist church at two o'clock, and interment
will be made in the Odd Fellows cemetery

the mandamus case to compel Secre-
tary of the Commonwealth Griest to
advertise the constitutional amend
ments passed by the legislature, argu-
ment on which was made Saturday,
discharged the rule, refused the man
damus and gave judgment for Secre-
tary Griest, on the ground that the
governor had a right to take action on
resolutions proposing constitutional
amendments, and the legislature could
not order Secretary Griest to advertise
without making an appropriation to
pay for the same.

THE COAL TRADE.
The Mines WIN work In August on tho
Basis of 5,5OO.O Tons.

Basis OF 100000 Tons.
The condition Of the anthracite market in
July was not materially different from the
preceding month. The movement Of coal at
tide points showed no increase, and several
interests took advantage Of this to supply
their storage points in New England, in
anticipation Of difficulty in filling the de-
mand during the fall months Western ship.
ments have gone forward as rapidly as could
be, both by rail and lake, but in the West the
movement into consumers cellars has not
been rapid, owing partly to the higher price
as compared with the quotations of last
summer The movement to line points on
the various railroads was Of only moderate
proportions, while the shipments TO Canada
have been rather larger than last year.
As consequence of the slowness Of the
market to take coal, and the inability to
carry the entire surplus West, there are large
accumulations at the various stocking points
and, at tide, mush difficulty in having cars
unloaded promptly. To prevent this latter
trouble and reduce stocks, the mines will
work, in August, on the basis of 500 900
tons, which at the present rate Of consump-
tion, should reduce stocks some 500 600 bv
the close Of the month, giving small
margin with which to begin the Fall trade.
Prices throughout July remained firm
those at New York tide averaging lower
than at any other point, owing TO the low
quotations made by some of tie smaller
interests. It is definitely understood, and
will undoubtedly be adhered to, that coal
already sold and not delivered and accepted
on July 81, advances twenty-five cents to
the circular issued early in July. This,
while It may retard sales for time through
fear of break, will add strength to the
market and give sound foundation for a
further advance on September 1st which will
probably be operative on deliveries after
September Both.
