JERMYM AND MAYFIELD.

The GlenWOol colliery at Maytield
was the scene of considerable excite
ment yesterday morning by an acct
dent, which resulted in two men having
d narrow escape of their lives. The
accident occurred at the culm dump,
where u number of men were engaged
in loading the culm into cars for the
Washery. The men We're apparently
unaware of the danger that threatened
them, and were busily scooping the
culm into the car when a large mass
OF the culm slid down from the top Of
the pile, completely burying Henry
Bowman, one of the contractors, ana
a Hungarian lahorer The three cars
which the men We're loading We're also
buried out of sight, and the mule at
tached to the cars was partly covered
Fortunately, some of the other men
who We're engaged at the job We're not
caught, and these at once commenced
the rescue of the two men. No trace
of Bowman was to be seen, but as he
was by the side of the cars when the
fall came the men had pretty good
idea of where he was imprisoned.
Others who had witnessed the accident
also ran to the spot, and in a few mo-
mentS there We're at least a hundred
people there. Bowman was found about
two feet under the culm. He was stand
ing erect and had been forced against
one of the cars. He was almost suffo-
Gated by the time the Culm was cleared
from his head, and it was a consider,
able time before he VAS fully released
from the mass that surrounded him
and held him so tightly. The Hun
Sarian was buried to the neck only.
and the other Workmen did not have
much difficultyin rescuing him. Neither
of the men We're seriously injured,
which, considering The great amount of
culm that fell upon them, must be con-
sidered very fortunate escape,
Thomas Loughney, a middle aged
man, residing on South Main street, fell

manner McComb in Charge.

tation at its regular meeting Wednes-
day night, when the most interesting
session for several months was en-
joyed
Business was transacted with ceer-
ity up to $40 O'clock. Then u recess
was declared. in order to receive DR..
II. e. Wheeler, who had consented to
give the veterans an informal talk on
The modern methods of treating
wounds, as compared with the time
prior to half II century ago, before
the discovery of anaesthetics and am
tiseptics.
The doctor was escorted to the hall
by Comrade ]<imball. who had been
assigned that pleasant duty In Il
neat little speech, the escort presented
the doctor to the presiding officer
Commander McComb assured The
doctor that his presence was very
agreeable to the members of the post.
He directed acting officer OF the day.
Comrade Inch, to provide military
honors for the guest of the evening.
and to accompany him on his journey
to the place of highest dignity i'm the
post room. On reaching that station
Commander McComb gave the doctor
Il cordial welcome. and the comrades
emphasized his eloquent words by
three cheers.
The discussion of surgery was very
instructive. II was eXemplitied by
crayon illustrations. made by the doc
tor, who has Il deXterous and deft way
of Illuminating his ideas. For forty
minutes the "old boys" sat in a circle
watching, listening. smoking and
smiling.
Then the doctor ended his discourse
by telling how his admiration for our
soldiers of go had grown as lie had
become familiar with the history or
their achievements and suffering. AS
an appropriate finale to accentuate his
admiration. respect and reverence for
the saviors of the union, he recited
Tennyson's Charge of the Light Bri
Sade," to show how men will rush to
glory and the grave in obedience to
orders, though someone had blun-
dcred," and then he compared the val
or of our soldiers, who fought to per-
petuate our government that people
yet unborn might enjoy the heritage
of freedom and liberty.
Commander McComb made a fine
speech, in recognition of the service
rendered by Dr. Wheeler. and led the
comrades in giving three rousins
cheers, and a tiger, to attest the ap-
probation of the post. After the
guest of the evening had retired. the
business session was resumed. and the
regular orGcr of procedure observed
Until adjournment
The success of the function was due
largely to the thoughtfulness and
energy of Commander McCOmb, who
arranged the programme and who was
an exemplary presiding officer

AN EAGLES CAREER ENDED.
Charles McCann Lays Low a Fine
Specimen of the Bird Family.

Charles McCann, of Sand street while
out shooting in the woods about the
swamp" yesterday laid low Il fine
specimen of the bird family-;L big
eagle.
MI. Mccain ended the powerful
birds career with Il truly aimed shot.
The charge passed through the eagles
breast and the big bird fell from it's
lofty perch on a tree, and was dead
when picked up. The first shot from
the rifle did not disturb the eagle, but
the second charge finished the chapter
of its existence.
The eagle is as fine a specimen as
has been seen in these parts. 1t has
the appearance of an old bird, large,
powerful talons and heavy plumage.
Between the tips of the spreaded wings
1T measures exactly eight feet. Mr..
Mccain will give the bird over to
taXidermist.

NOTABLE SURGICAL OPERATION
Rare Success That Followed in the
Case of Miss Lizzie Giles.

Miss Lizzie Giles, of Jermyn, was dis
charged from Dr.. Wheeers hospital
yesterday.
4, will be readily vecalled that Miss
Giles underwent Il surgical operation
on April at the above hospital for
neuralgia on the left side of the face
She had been suffering sorely for sew
eral months and to the extent that her
mind had become greatly affected
After prolonged consultation 1t was
finally decided that surgical intcrfer-
ancc of IL serious nature was the only
means to relieve her. Accordingly, she
was removed to DR.. Wheeler's hospital
and DR.. Reed Burns assumed charge of
the case.
He performed what is called Hart
ley's operation the skull at
the temple of the affected side, lifting
up the brain and sewing the offending
nerve close to the brain substance.
IT has proven eminently successful,
and has been watched with great in
terest by all medical men in the valley
on account of the fact that it is one of
the most difficult and serious of all
surgical operations. Many local and
several Scranton physicians witnessed
1t.
Miss Giles has suffered no pain since,
except that proceeding from the cut
ting of skin and bone necessary to the
procedure.
She Is entirely relieved of the sore
distress that was wrecking her life
her recovery having been rapid and
uninterrupted.
Before the operation she was obliged
to subsist upon fluids and could only
obtain sleep through the use of enor-
nous doses of opium. She now eats
well and sleeps without the influence
Of opiates or drugs of any character.

SECURED A GOOD ORDER.
Foundry of Lindsay &c Walsh Fa-
vored by the Dickson Manufacture
ing Company.

A gratifying circumstance of the
growing industrial Importance of Car
bondale Is to be found in orders for
work that, from time to time, come
TO firms in this city from leading
manufacturers throughout the coun-
try.
A notable example ut this time is d
substantial order that the Lindsay II
Walsh foundry, on Seventh avenue,
has received from the big Dickson
Manufacturing company, of Scranton.
The order is for quite q supply of
repairs for breaker machinery, prin-
cipally parts of rollers and crlshcrs,
and an occasional part of /, hosting
or stationary engine. For many years
this repair work was quite a profitable
item for the Dickson company. All of
the work that accumulated at the
breakers in this region went to this
corporation and during the quiescent
periods in machinery construction The
Dickson company always relied on this
repair work to keep it's foundry hands
busy. Recently the company has
broadened its field and it now requires
every energy to meet the demands tUr
heavy work, such as locomotive ma
CHlnefy ana t1e ike. AS lnc result,
it has been forced to seek an outlet
for miscellaneous work and Carbondale
has been fortunate in sharing in the
distribution. This is Il hopeful sign
and the regret is that more efforts are
not made to attract and secure 81
larger share of this class of work,
which, of necessity goes elsewhere.
The Lindsay &. Walsh foundry has
also been quite successful in obtaining
orders from other Scranton concerns
which could not he accommodated at
