MILES SMILES.
And Wishes II we're True.

Miles w. Belts, the efficient con-
stable of Bloomsbury is sorry that
the report of his good luck in min
ing stock speculation is not true.
1t was announced few days ago in
the MorniAg Press that he had in
vested S25 in a gold mine and that
he had received a draft for $1,000 or
more as the result of his investment.
This is how it happened. The
company sold its first product and
received therefor draft of $1,000 in
payment. AS this was the first re-
ceipts from their output they had
fac-simile of the draft made and
sent one to each of the stockholders
with an explanation attached. Mr..
Belts received one of these copies,
and after tearing off the explanatory
part, as joke he showed it to some
of his friends and gave them the
story that it was his dividend. AS
it was written in Spanish no one
could read it, and so took his word
for it. Mr.. Belts enjoyed the joke
until it found its way into the col
umns Of a newspaper, when he had
to hide to escape the congratulations
that were being;showered upon him.
He also had a number of PROPOSE
tions from people who were willing
to borrow the money from him.
The whole thing was merely bit
of pleasantly on the genial consta-
ble's part but it received more pub
licity than he had anticipated.

Death of Mrs. W. B. Mines.

Lamentable TO all those who
shared her acquaintance and friend
ship is the death of Mrs. Lena.
wife of w. B. Mines, of Espy,
which occurred at the Gynecaean
Hospital. Philadelphia, Thursday
morning. On the preceding Fri
day she had undergone an operation
for a tumor. Her husband and
daughter mad accompanied her to
the institution and remained there
until the operation had been per-
formed. Thinking that all was well
and that it would be only little
while until she would be with them
again in the family circle, they re-
turned home. But, alas, notwith-
standing that skilled medical prac-
tioneers exerted themselves in her
behalf, her condition took turn
for the worse and on Thursday they
received the sad news of her death.
In the death of Mrs. Mines .here
has been ended an exemplary christ
ian life. She was beloved alike by
neighbors and friends and her mem
ory will be held dear to those who
knew her.
Deceased was daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Daniel Snyder, Of Scott
township, both of whom together
with her husband, four children and
one brother Clinton, Of Buffalo, sur
vive. The funeral occurred Sun
day afternoon and was largely at
tended. Interment at Almedia.

TROLLEY COLLISION.
Car No. 7 Crashes Into B. g. s.
Railroad Work Train at
Main Street Crossing.
A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.

Miss Ethel Swank Of Catawissa,
had a miraculous escape from GER
tain death on the Columbia & Mon
tour Electric Railway Saturday
afternoon. She was one of the
passengers OH the car for Catawissa,
which had lett Market Square at
four o'clock. The car was half way
between West street and the rail-
road and moving with considerable
momentum when the B. & S. work
train was observed going down.
Motorman Everett had tried his
best to check the speed and at this
moment was making a heroic effort
to stop the car, but leaves made the
rails so slippery that he couldn't do
it. Meanwhile the passengers were
scrambling off. All succeeded in
getting off but Miss Swank who
leaped out the front vestibule only
an instant before the car crashed
into the train. She slipped and fell
and would probably have been kill
ed had it not been for motorman
Everett, who had displayed con-
siderable bravery in remaining at
his post, and who noting the young
lady's imminent danger leaped from
the car, grabbed her by the arm and
pulled her to place of safety.
Some idea of the force with which
the trolley struck the train is shown
by the fact that the railroad car
was knocked completely over. The
front end of the trolley car was
particularly demolished, and it too
was derailed. The passengers were
conveyed from the scene of the ac-
cident to Catawissa in hack, and
another car was Immediately press
ed into service.
The disabled trolley car was No.
7. and was in charge Of conductor
Zahner.
Since writing the above we learn
cd that Miss Lucy Baldy, another
passenger, leaped from the rear end
OF the car and sustained sprained
ankle as the result of which
she is unable to resume her studies
at the Normal.

HALLOWEEN.

Last year proper steps were taken
by the town authorities to restrain
the abuses that had grown up in the
observance of Halloween. The
same thing should be done again,
so that the wauton destruction of
property may be prevented. Throw
ing of -four on the street or any
thing else that is injurious to cloth
ing should be forbidden. Young
people can enjoy themselves on that
occasion without resorting to acts
that amount to malicious mischief.
Stealing gates. signs, &C., and tear
ing down fences and the like should
be forbidden and prevented.

In re proceeding to obtain per-

over the tracks of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company at Mifflinville.
After stating facts in evidence
and quoting questions of law, the
opinion reads:
The policy of the law is now, and
always has been, in opposition to
grade crossings. Both this act of
1901 and the Supreme Court de-
clare what is the legislative will,
and both declare that crossing at
grade are permissible under certain
conditions.

GREAT ANTHRACITE FIELD
Six Foot Vein South of Boundary Set
by Biologists.

Pottsville, Pa, Dec. 23.-Consider-
able excitement has been created here
by the discovery of great beds of pure
anthracite coal beyond the limits Of
what has heretofore been considered
the southern boundary of the hard
coal region in Pennsylvania.
At Auchey's Station, in South Man
helm township, one of the farming dis
tricts of Schuylkill county, W. III. SOW
ers, of Pottsville, drove a prospecting
drift and found a six-foot vein of val
liable coal. This is a sufficient guam
tity to keep a large collfery busy for
years. Sewers has leased 800 acres and
has started extensive developments OF
the tract The new colliery will be To-
Gated three miles south of the Sharp
Mountain, which all biologists have
heretofore considered the terminus of
the anthracite strata Many farmers in
the Mannheim district, spurred on by
Sewers success, have also started
prospecting and expect to sell their
farms for fortunes.

WASTE CHRISTMAS TREES.
Civic Club Protests Against @UseIess
Ravaging of Forests."

Philadelphia, Dec. 23.-Too many
Christmas trees are being cut, thinks
the Civic club. and consequently it has
addressed protest to the state and
national forestry commission.
This action was taken at a meeting
of the art department in the club rooms
on Walnut street this afternoon. The
resolutions adopted prayed for "a ces-
sation Of the useless ravaging of the
forests for Christmas Trees
ooh, no, this doesn't mean to stop
cutting Christmas trees" exclaimed the
author of the resolutions, when such a
construction of the text was limited at.
TT is just to stop dealers from cutting
more trees than are needed. Every year
there are many more trees cut than
are sold for Christmas decorations.
These are just thrown out and burned,
and that is how the forests suffer need
lesSly-"
With some little demurring the reso.
lutions were adopted, and will be for
warded to the forestry commissioners
at an early date.

WICHITA WANTS 1T.
Go After Republican Convention DE-
snite Lack of Facilities.

Even if the hotel men of Wichita are
not very anxious to have the RepubIi-
can state convention held there, the
Wichita Commercial club proposes to
make an effort to get it, and it will
send a delegation to Topeka when the
Republican state central committee
meets to work to take the convention
to Wichita. The club is holding a
meeting today for the purpose of acting
with regard to the matter.
1t was an extremely difficult matter
for the hotels of Wichita to handle the
state convention last year, while the
auditorium in which the convention was
held did not begin to hold the people
who wished. to attend.
