Shortly before So'clock, last evening,
two Democratic politicians engaged in
a political discussion which became go
heated that one accused the other with
petty work. The lie was given and
they came together. The affair hap
pened in front Of the courthouse and
in few moments about 200 persons
were about the struggling men, who had
their fingers tightly fastened in each
others collars. Owen Sheridan ran for
an officer ard William Morrison aud
several others interfered and separated
the men before any great damage ahd
been done. When an officer arrived the
affair was all over.

Fourth street, near Williams, slipped
in the yard of her home, yesterday
afternoon, and broke her left wrist. The
fracture was reduced by DR.. Stewart.

ADVICE To YOUNG PEOPLE.
Interesting Address by superintendent of
Schools Twitmyer.

Interesting Address by superintendent of
Schools Twitmyer.
In his address Mt the High School
Monday Superintendent of Schools
George W. Twitmyer said, in part: "I
have been in this city only d short
time and upon the street have seen,
with pleasure the school boys and
school girls carrying with them their
school books. When pupils love their
lesson SO much as to carry them back
ward and forward it Is certainly sign
of great earnestnes5. Referring 10 a
remark made by Prof. Berlin, previous
to the opening exercises he said: SIN
1852 when | was in charge of n normal
school way up in the State of Pennsyl-
vania, your principal turning to Mr..
Berlin) stopped off and dined with me.
Through his grace and kindness | WAS
able to present him to the students.
Ore remark he made at the time,
Nothing can be accomplished without
being dead in earnest, has been with
me ever since and | now present 1t to
You.
There are plenty of men and women
in the world who can do many
things toierably well, but what the
world needs now is men and women
who can do things perfectly. 1t is the
lack of earnestness that prevents this.
If men would act honestly and squarely
without shirk, If they would give ur
leisure for labor, then would they
succeed" He related several incidents
of his school career much to the amuse-
ment Of those present and at the end
asked that when the students meet
him on the street they would net wait
for him to speak first for he could moi
| readily distinguish their features.

tendent Williams arc finding room for
all of the applicants for seats in the
schools where 1t is possible to do so.
Miss Williams said the pleasant
weather had the effect of bringing OUT
full attendance Tuesday and all got
down to diiigent work. She expressed
the belief that the attendance would
have been larger at the beginning OF
the year had it not been for the fact
that nearly all Of the applicants we're
IN congested districts, where they could
not be accommodated, whereas II all
could have been given seats the attend
ance would have been much larger
| than last year.
At the Howard School all Of the
seats are occupied except in one room,
| where there are four vacancies. Many
children have entered since the begin
ming OF the term. The large attendance
was due partly to the fast that Miss
Edwina b. Kruse, the principal, had
notices read from the pulpits of the
color ed churches before the opening OF
school, announcing that all of the
children could be accommodated. One
Of the teachers has 60 children under
| hor care.

RUNAWAY GAR ON THE READING.

Shamokin, Pa, Sept. 17.--Whiie a
Philadelphia & Reading railroad crew
were shifting loaded coal cars at LOCUST
Sun NIT, early this morning, one of
the cars broke loose and ran away.
The operator telegraphed to several
stations between that place and here

alarm at Alaska and Excelsior, the car
shot down the main line track. At
the way office south of this place, the
operator notified Tamaqua freight

possible. When the rear end of the
train had cleared the local depot, the
runaway car reached here and left the
track, owing to sharp curve. II

the air, plunged to the earth and was
smashed to pieces.
The distance from Locust Summit IL

MODERN CHURCH MUSIC.

Within hundred years the methods
of church administration and work
have changed materially. 1t has not
been change involving catastrophe,
bur one of growth. Consider the single
item Of church music. Well nigh the
distance Of diameter lies between the
church muGic OF the beginning and the
end OF the century. Recall the dismal
hymns, lined out to mora dismal tunes,
and the dreary figures, as dull and in
volved as an Indian medicine-danoe.
Our fathers did not rise up on certain
day and say, "Henoeforth we are done
with them!' But as the musical cul.
tivation Of the people advanced, church
music perforce shared 10 the general
movement. 1t is sadly trus that
blgotry has succeeded in holding the
church pretty steadily to the rear Of
the advancing column, but no institu-
tion can live wholly outside its own
generation.
The bigotry which has piously shuts
the lest music out Of the church is a
survival of that asceticism which
niIped, like killing frost, everything
vernal in the religious life. But as the
rigors of bigotry have softened in the
growing warmth Of general enlightep-
ment, and the love and culture of music
have steadily advanced, the church has
quietly dropped its old methods, and
has unconsoiously taken on the new,
until today it may be truthfully said
that the best music Of the world is laid
under tribute Of church services. Even
the wicked music Of the heels is some
times so jldiciously Slowed ur" and
subdued in color, and pInctuated with
solemn pauses. that staid ,deacons
decorously, innoesntly pace to their
pews to strains from an opera. y. HI.

WOMEN GLUBBED BY BURGLARS.

Shamokin, Pa, Sept. 1.-two bur
glars broke into the home of Mrs.
Leona Kress, at Big Mountain, near
here, early today; and upon the woman
refusing TO give them money, they
crushed her skull and dubbed her
daughter, Mrs. Mary Marcinak, SO
hadly that it is feared both women
will die. Mary Maroinak, the daugh-
ter of the latter, while handing he's
mother Ratchet to defend herself,
was also dubbed until she fell senseless
to the floor.
NeighborH. hearing the shouts of the
women, rushed to the scene nd scared
the burglars away.
