Strange Bed Fellows.

1t is but natural that the old proverb
politics makes TRANCE bedfellows"
should find many illustrations in Con-
gress.
Judge Linney, of North Carolina, the
most picturesque member in the
House, is now serving his third term
in the House as a Republican. Amos
Cummings puts him down as one of
the IS congressional orators. Judge
Linney was brave Confederate sol
dier and next to Colonel Marsh, of IL
linois, carries around the greatest
quantity of lead in his corporsity. I'm
til few years ago he was a rampant
Democrat.
General Walker, " Virginia, who at
one time commanded the famous
"Stonewall' brigade, who is stiff as
steelyards from wounds received in
battle and who until about 10 years
age was a prominent Democrat, has
already served two terms as Repub-
lican and is now contesting the seat OF
Judge Rhea. So it may be happily
concluded that the cruel war is
over. Champ Clark.

A Narrow Escape.

Mrs. William Blohm and little
daughter, Virginia, and Miss Laura
Basin had a narrow escape Sunday
morning while driving east Of town.
They were driving home from the Cis-
Ter neighborhood, and were on steep
hill when a piece of the harness broke
and let the carriage go against the
horse. This started the animal to
kicking, and it ran with considerable
speed, throwing the child out, and the
carriage top fell on the ladies', so they
could not help themselves in the least;
but fortunately the horse was stopped
with maryelously little damage done.
The baby had fallen in the road and
sustained a few scratches and bruises
not serious. Mrs. Blohm and Miss
Basin were bruised somewhat, but
only slightly.
1t was lucky and narrow escape,
and all are to be congratulated

Drowned at Parkersburg.

About $3.50 Sunday morning the
watchman at Parkersburg dry docks
near the mouth of the Kanawha was
startled by splashlng in the water
followed by calls for help. He saw a
man struggling in the Kanawha along
side the wharfboat Hurrledly get
ting into a skiff he put out toward the
struggling figure, but before he could
reach him he had sunk, and all was
still. Others who heard the cries were
soon on the spot. Newt Worstell was
found asleep on the upper end of the
wharfboat, and from him 1t was learn
ed that Jack Clegg and he had lain
down together to take sleep, but
Clegg got up and said he was going
I'D to the house Both had been
drinking until late at night and Wors-
tell didn't remember much as he paid
little attention to Clegg and resumed
his snooze. Those who heard the
voice of the man in the water were sat
isfied it was Clegg's and arrangements
were made to search for the remains.
Several men went out in skiffs and
worked until daylight when others
continued the search during the day
but without success
Wharfmaster Gould informs the
Sentinel that Clegg had slept in the
PROV of the wharfboat every night for
two months. He had been warned
that it was dangerous but always re-
piled that that was his business and nc
one need to worry about him.
The search for the remains was dis
continued on Sunday evening, as NJ
one took enough interest in the man tt
prosecute it any further.
Clegg was about 35 years of age, ant
worked about steamboats,. He has
brother residing in this city and on
at Big Tygart.
He and Col Jim Burns were boo
companions.-Sentinel.

Joe Wheeler in Chicago

Chicago has extended most cordial
welcome to General Joseph Wheeler as
the new commander of the department
of the lakes. The city newspapers have
We'd with each other in the warmth
and eloquence of their greetings. The
Inter Ocean is graphic in its picture OF
''the little old Confeds" appearance a:
the army rendezvous in Tampa during
the war with Spain.
''Dewey's guns had just thundered
round the world from Manila and
thrilled the nation with victory's rap
ture,' says the editorial writer, when
to the army gathering at Tampa, ap-
peared wisp of an old man in an an
tique linen duster. He passed unheed-
ed in the changing hotel, and when he
took up his quarters in tent oppo-
site the cavalry camp and went to bed
early in a cot a volunteer lieutenant
would have scorned, he was thought to
be some fond father come to bid fare
well to soldier son When the bugles
sang the next morning and the band
played The Starspangled Banner. the
old man was seen standing at atten-
tion. before his tent, and on his should
ers a major generals stars. Then
Troop A, Third United States Cavalry,
swept by, and as he Gaw his guidon the
old man woke from his reverie
why. that's my troop he cried,
There they go, my brother lieuten-
antsl No, it cannot be, for Jack was
killed at Charlottesville and Beverly
at Saylor's Creek. And then the old
mans eyes dimmed and then flashed
with pride as he noted the perfect lines,
forgetting that he saw not one man
with whom he had ridden knee TO
knee after the Comanches over the
plains OF Texas forty years before.
Thus did Joseph Wheeler come back to
his country's army and stand proudly
again soldier OF the flag"
The American people love to honor
iron-hearted. patriotic Joe Wheeler,
and as he comes In peace to water
his war horse in the free northern
lakes" they will join with Chicago in
wishing the old hero many years of
life in which to enjoy the ripened
fruits OF his gallant career.
Who would have dreamed thirty-hve
years ago OF seeing Confederate gem
srai In charge OF ore OF the great mill
tary departments of the Federal gov
ernment9 What the force of arms
could not accomplish the softening in
fiuence OF peace has wrought in this
unconditional surrender of Chicago.
when General Wheeler is retired from
the army in September he will leave a
record behind of which any warrior
may well feel proud.-columbus Dis

Land values in London are strik
ing, and some interesting figures of
their growth are given in a recent
Forum" paper Every inch of land
between King Williams statute and
Trinity Square cost in recent years
$152 or at the rate of 1856, 900 per
acre, beyond doubt the highest price
ever paid in England for land. A
OF $65 200, 900 per acre for piece Of
ground which had depth of only 1G
feet. The railroad did not see its
way to make the purchase. Values
continue going up, and in the last six
years, in the gilt-edged section, prices
have advanced from $50 to $75a square
foot. In 1912 the rental of the corpor-
alton property in Liverpool reached
the small sum of s65 to-day it is worth
$62, 100000. Last year, in the princi-
pal street of the city, the highwater
mark OF land value was reached in the
purchase of the stock exchange at the
rate Of 1,130 per square yard of some
md necessary for the extension of the
ildings. All this seems wonderful

Killed By Filipino Ladrones.

A letter from Lonnie Cottrell. who
is a volunteer in the Philippines, re-
ceived by friend here today gives the
details of the death of Frank Berry, of
this city, who had Just been promoted
to be a sergeant a few days before his
death. The letter is written from
Mariquini, P. |.
A thrilling little love story is woven
into the account of his death, he being
killed while in the act of rescuing a
beautiful young Filipino woman who
had been ebducted by Ladrones. She
was the daughter of the president OF
Montalbon and had two suitors. One
she promised to marry, and the other
one, for revenge, employed Ladrones,
or highwaymen, to carry her away,
which they did, taking her from her
conveyance.
Prank was the sergeant in command
of the squad sent to rescue her and
was led into ambush by treacherous
guide. Sergeant Berry and his squad
surrounded the house, a volley was
fred and in the exchange of shots
Frank was killed. His death was moi
noticed until the ambuscade had beer
routed.
Berry was shot in the forehead JUS
above the left eye and was instantly
killed.
The squad reported to- the compan.
and more men were sent, who rescued
the young woman, killed and wounded

FOR THE public Good
The Information Contained in
This Citizens Statement
Is Invaluable to
Scranton People.

When q resident of Scranton, whose
statement appears below, who has
no monetary or other interest in the
article which he endorses, who is anX-
ious to do his acquaintance and fell
low residents "a good turn, who pub
fishes in this paper his experience with

have good and sufficient reason for
doing so. The following should dis
pei any doubts which may have eN-
listed in the readers mind on this sub
ject:

Yesterday morning for the first time
in six years, all the employees about
the various collieries of the Pennsyl-
yania Coal company in Pittston and
vicinity, numbering several thousand,
went on n ten-hour schedule. This
will be welcome news to the people
of Pittston, especially. The men for
several years past had to be content
with working from one to eight hours
n day, and they never knew how TO
figure out their income, not knowing
when or how long they would work
from one week to another. The col
lieries begin at a. M, taking half an
hour at noon, and cease operations
at $50 p. m. The cause of the change
TO a ten hour schedule is an increased
demand for coal.
The company is making many i'm
provements about its collieries, among
them a slope being driven from the
Marcy vein, 300 feet deep, from No. 10
colliery to the recently purchased Ra-
vine mine in Pittston, as there are
several acres of coal in the Pittston
and Marcy veins yet to be mined in
close proximity to the Ravine. The
company intends after the garding in
the slope is finished to hoist coal from
the Ravine up this slope to the No.
10 breaker to prepare the same for
market. 1t was the intention of the
officials to make preparations this
summer to operate the Schooley coll
1iery in Exeter, but this has been
abandoned until next fall.
