Morton of the department of agriculture gave what he regards an object lesson to the employ es of his department. He heard by many of his subordinates in favor of silver, and when pay day came ha ordered the paymaster to pay out in silver coin, weighing 60 pounds. The silver coin was paid to and well known silverites in various pos tions in the department. Unless Mr. Mor ton receives a petition to the contrary is expected that silver will be paid ou ugaiu to the men who arc known to favo It as currency.

There was a good deal of kicking smoi the employees, and some of them have i dicated to the paymaster that they wan paper money on their next pay day. On of the men who was given several pound of silver to carry home remarked: "I think Secretary Morton is very un fair in what ho terms as his object lesson He might as well pay us in nickel pieces or in copper pennies, and if we protes that that is not a convenient form.of mon ey to carry he might say by that protcs we are not in favor of copper and nicke coin. As a matter of fact, if a man wero paid, say $10,000, in gold coin, which he would bo expected to carry home with him, he would protest as strongly as we protest at being paid our monthly salary in silver dollars."

The later reports received show that 300 houses were burned and 100 persons killed. A dynamite bomb was thrown from a mosque into a crowd of refugees.

Tiiu village lies in the wildest recesses of the Bhodope mountains southeast of Batak. It is Inhabited by Mohammedan Bulgarians, brave and warlike fanatics, who bate the Christian Bulgarians more than tho Turks, and arc therefore likely to take a terrible revenge. The Bashi Bazouks, who committed tho outrages at Batak in 1 S7'i, were largely drawn from similar villages. It is believed that the attack was arranged by the Macedonian committee in order to provoke fresh atrocities and thus incense Europe against Turkey. PEPPER'S IPS."

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. plan for another wholesale delivery ol prisoners iu the county jail was accident ally discovered.

The leaders in the plcl were Thomas Kelly, a burglar, and Michael F. Barry, who is awaiting trial for son in New Brunswick. Everything was in readiness, and tho meu were to break jail tonight, but one of the inmates weakened and informed the sheriff. Ever since the escape of seven prisoners, led by a murderer, in last, Shcrill Serviss has personally inspected the jaii every night. The men are ordered intc their cells at 'J p.

m. sharp, and then th( sheriff, who is about 00 years of age, goes through the corridors, locking each celi in succession. He carries all his keys or one ring. The conspirators were aware ol East Lebanon Mill Three Men Were Injured BUT NONE OF THEM SEBIOUSLY this custom and planned to overpowci him, steal the keys and make a dash foi freedom after having freed all the othei prisoners.

Tin; men Hawed through all the bars of the window in eel! Xo. 15 without being discovered. They used butter on the saws to deaden the sound.

The bars were cut from the outside and not clear through, PO that from the inside of the cell the turnkey could not see that anything was wrong, although a strong man could have easily wrenched out all the bars. The escape was to have been made tonight. After braining the sheriff, according to the story of the sheriff's informant, all the cell doors were to have been opened and everybody given a chance to skip. The leaders had arranged to have a team or the outside. When the sheriff learned ol the plot, he at once transferred the mer to other cells and searched tho corridors In addition to the files and saw used prisoners had managed to secure a heavj stone and a sluugshot.

Tho stone was wrapped in a cloth and made a deadlj weapon. The men were furious when they learned that they hud been frustrated and declared that they had fully intended to kill the sheriff and were sorry that they had not been able to do so. There is no doubt ere that the money for tho entcrprisa was furnished by Barry's friends. Specia" guards were at once put on duty, anc 3arry and Kelly are now in close confine nieut.

But Instead a Violent Thunder Storm Visited This Section Ou Friday. The cold wave which has been wort- ing eastward from the region of the great lakes veered off towaid the St. Lawrence valley on Friday and we did not get any benefits from it.

The upper valley of the Hudson may feel it some. It started out in Montana, where the temperature was about freezing, and moved steadily eastward. A hot wave following in its wake has neutralized its effects. High temperatures again prevail in the west and the humidity has increased in the'east. Instead of the cold wave a thunder storm swept over portions of this vail, on Friday about 4 o'clock.

In the western part of the county corn was considerably damaged and some hail fell. Near Bernville, Berks county, the Swiss barn of George Moll was struck by lightning and burned together with its contents.

All the grain and implements together with a thrashing machine, belonging to A.

S. Unger, were destroyed. At Pottsville, Allentown, Easton and other places a violent wind and rain storm prevailed. GRIM REAPER'S HARVEST- Those Who Have Been Recently Called to me for Eternity. C.

Their escape from death was wonderful.

The former two were engaged in chill ing the bottom of their furnace, the hea having just been drawn, with water when some pieces of iron were thrown into the "wild" cinder, having been scooped up with the water, causing explosion, which wrecked the furnace blowing off the roof. Herndon am Stubblebine escaped with slight burns by the steam and flying cinder. Nelson, who was engaged at work on furnace 8, directly opposite, was not so fortunate. His back was turned towaix the ooen furnace door and he was struck sguarely bj the rush of steam and liquid cinder which enveloped him. Fortunately he had removed his shirt and the per spiration standing on his body the cinder to fall off.

His back is badly boiled by the steam. Had he shirt he would have been terribly burnet by the cinder, which, however, but slight burns. Nelson lives on Hoffman street. The furnace is now undergoing repairs. LYNCHING IN PROSPECT.

Jacob Detweiler, clerk in Longeneck- Son's grocery, Middletown, very ttheLebanon manufacturing company tfl nearly killed himself by jumping from a smithshop, on Fridav bad his toot Iwlly wond his control at injured bv having a heavy piece of iron cli He Was Found Morning About Three O'clock and to the Fortunately Ills Nose Only ii Broken nnd His Hip Did it Happen At a little before 3 o'clock this morn ing James K. Hart, of Fifth avenue, this rity, who lias been boarding with Mr Van Winkel, fell or was pushed from a third stcry window at Eiehtl street, and struck the brick pavement, twenty-five feet below, without anv thing to break the force of his fall.

Thai he was not killed outright was littlt short of miraculous, but very strangelv he escaped with a broken nose and a dislocated hip, at least so far as the physicians have been able to ascertain He was not even rendered unconscious and his wild shrieks of pain awakenec people from their peaceful slumbers square away. The ambulance was ini mediately summoned and he was conveyed to the Good Samaritan hospital where his injuries have been attended to Hart is aged about 27 years, and is we! known in this city, having resided here for several years. He was seen at the hospital later by a NEWS reporter but his speech was incoherent and no satisfactory account of how the accident occurred could be gleaned from him. He admitted that he was drinkingandgavethenamesofsomeof his companions, but whether the fall wastbe result of a push or blow or purely accidental he could not tell. Mr.

Hart's home ia in Hollidaysburg, where his mother is now living, but he has been working in the East End rolling mills as a roller for some time. He is said to a very peaceable and inoffensive man whose worst fault is strong drink, and several times before this when he had money he was taken advantage of by his companions when under the influence of liquor. A pack of cards lying at the spot where he fell would give color to the theory that he was pushed out in a dispute while playing cards. Patrolman Wm. Stme, wnq was the first person to discover Hart lying on the pavement, was seen by a NEWS reporter this afternoon to whom he related what he knew concerning the accident.

He said: "At about 3 o'clock this morning as I was patroling my beat and was walking on Eighth street, between hestnut and Walnut streets, I heard a noise which I at first thought was made by a sign that had become loosened from its fastenings and had fallen to the pavement. However, I turned back and on -eaching Chestnut street could distinctly tear the heavy breathing of some one, which sounded as if he were smothering. Quickening my steps, and upon nearing the spot I discovered tl body of a man lying face downward in a xwf of blood. 1 turned the body oh its and away from the blood and saw it once that the man was badly injured. I then called for help which was responded to by Al.

Reidel and the hostler of the City hotel. Hurriedly I called out Dr. A. B. Gloninger and later ambulance, which conveyed the injured man to the hospital.

Afterward I made nn examination of the room and saw it to be in a disturbed condition, no one was there. Neither did I see anyone about the vicinity when I discovered body. Hart fell on the cellar door, jreaking off several small limbs of a tree stands before the building." Chief Ringler brought Harry Ditzler, who is employed at the Lebanon industrial works, before Mayor Garrett, as it was said that Ditzler was a member of the club and was supposed to have been with Hart at the time of the accident, ie answered all questions satisfactorily and was released. The room from which he fell has been used by the "Germania Club" for the jast year. Every evening young men nay be seen at the windows and" often remarks are heard from them which are very discreditable, to say the least.

Sun- lay is their greatest day and every Saturday evening a brewery wagon is said to leliver several kegs of beer there. A visit to the room showed its appearance to be in perfect keeping -vith the orgies so often hfld there. The floor is bare and dirty and from a large wet place beer had been spilled a sickening stench filled the place. The walls are covered with pictures of actresses and inch, and some are far beyond the limits of decency. The furniture consists of wo pine tables, a dozen chairs, two dry goods boxes, a bench and a whisky mrrel sawed in half, and from ts disordered appearance showed hat the room was hastily vacated when the accident occnrredl A pail mlf full of beer and two empty kegs in a bin outside the door completed the lisgraceful inventory.

A placard on the loor shows that the club members wish be either very clean or, what is more ikely, to dispense with all service of and dust pan. The card bears the nscription: "Notice Please clean your shoes before you come in." Such a hole as this right the midat of the business portion is a disgrace to the city and prompt measures should be taken to suppress all such, for the lessons of ami crime taught young men in such places do irreparable damage to a community in that they corrupt those who might otherwise become useful and intelligent The miraculous escape of Hart has been the subject of discussion today. Large numbers of persona have been to see the place where he was found lying on the pavement and many- curious theories are advanced as to how might have happened. But untii Hart himself or some one who wat present at the time is willing to give a ftan-- ment the matter must remain r. mystery.

Everybody after seeing tr reat height from which Hart i3 supposed to have fallen is astonished that he escaped with such few and comparatively slight injuries. During the nrst hours of tin- morning the report was circulated that Hart had died and prominent citizens were already taking steps to liave a thorough investigation made. However, when they learned that the man was alive and expected to recover they did not push the matter any further. It would be in the interest of law and order no doubt if the authorities would investigate the affair, find oat the nature ALDERMANIC NEWS. HE.YIUXli roXTINI'ED.
