A CHANGE IN THE CARBON RULES. The Carbon County Republicans Come Together and bisplay a Deal of Enthusiasm. The annual meeting of the Republican county committee was held in the Carbon County court house atMauch Chunk on Saturday. Every district was well represented and the enthusiasm was very marked. County Chairman George M.

Davies presided. The committee decided on a number of changes. The committeemen for next year will be choson at the delegate election. The date for holding the delegate election was fixed on Sept. lfi, and the primaries will be held on the preceding Saturday.

Eachi member of the committee handed in names of citizens from their respective districts, and these were chosen as the officers to hold the delegate election. Some time ago the committee wanted Chairman Davies to call the meeting but he refnsed. It was expected that some action would be taken at the meeting on this matter, but nothing was done. A number of amendments were made to the rules and these will be submitted t.the county convention for approval or rejection. They are: The county committee is to organize on third Monday in January, instead of the fourth, as formerly.

Vacancies are to be rillod by the remaining members from the district in which they have occurred. Pollbooks are to be transferred to the successors of those holding them. The county chairman is to convene the committee if requested by a majority of the committee to do so. Hon.

This is to be Alleged English heirs have turned up to claim the estate of the late George Henderson, of Trexlertown. About two months ago Judge Albright ordered an advertisement in the London Telegraph stating the facts and giving notice that heirs, if any, should appear in court this day and show cause why the estate should not escheat to the state. The "ad" was seen by Mary Dudnian, a sister of George Henderson. She set forth the complete family history in an affidavit signed by James Whitehead, lord mayor of London. Siie says George was one ot seven children of John Henderson, of London.

The surviving heirs are Mary Dudman, Charlotte Nind and three children of a daughter named Margaret. Tho affidavit says George left England on Coronation Day, 1870, and was not heard from since. Certificates of birth and a good many legal incidonts are included in the allidavit. Maj. Kauffinan, who was retained as attorney by the heirs, presented the claim to court.

With my bar in the brake wheel I had the car well in hand, running, however, at a rapid rate. "As I approached the tunnel half way down the grade I found I was gaining on the engine. Twisting the brake wheel I attempted to slow up. There was a loud report, and without warning I was thrown backward against the lumber.

The brake chain bad broken, and I realized in a moment that in life was in great danger. The brake released, the car bounded forward like a thing of li fe. Entering the dark tunnel with a mighty rush, theoars passed on, increasing the speed at every turn of the wheels. "1 threw niysell on top of the lumber. The roar made by the car was deafening and confusing.

I thought my end had come. On the switch siding on which the car was to run, I knew lay a number of empty coal curs. I imagined the crash that I thought must come. I saw the empty cars driven down the track and through walls of the general store that was situated at the end of the switch. "All this passed through my mind in going a distance feet through the tunnel.

When the car reached the open I sprang lo my feet. Ahead ot me was the engine waiting just beyond the switch, which the brakeman was holding open.

The concussion was felt in all parts of the city. Remembering the late accident at Kuchsville the first impression was that adynamite explosion had occurred somewhere in the vicinity. The older and cooler men then began to think and rightly came to the conclusion that it had been ail earthquake.

The earthquake was felt all over the middle states. It did little damage. Hut it reminded the people that even these northern latitudes far off from active volcanic action. are not secure from the shocks. Those who were up say the earthqua ke consisted of several vibrations of wavy character.

Persons who were walking stumbled slightly from the effects of the motion. It lasted about a quarter of a minute. The scientists say its duration was lti seconds. Probably the first man in town to diagnose it was a South American, who is visiting Tilglunan Kramer at the Allentown College for Women. He rushed down st iirs and burst into the kitchen, and exclaimed: "Did you feel the earthquake?" The other people laughed.

The South American said, "It was an earthquake, sure. I guess I know. I have felt lots of them." He was rather afraid' all day there would bo another shock. of people say they were awakened. The shocks rattled windows and jarred houses as if some one were jumping heavily on the floor.

One young man was awakened by the loud banging of a window which he had propped up the evening before. When he hoard there had been an earthquake he knew what caused it. At the home of Wilson Arbogast, on Linden Street, a mirror was broken. Reports from Slatington, l-'ogelsville, Lynn and Vera Cruz indicate that the shock was felt all over the county. In Kaslon there was a very perceptible tremor.

In Pottstown two dist inct shocks were felt. In Philadelphia it caused great excitement. A man lying awake in bed at the time felt the shock and noise distinctly. He described its effects as if a person had run a heavy wheelbarrow over the first floor of the house. The last earthquake was nine years ago when Charleston was laid in ruins.

He passed away peacelully. He was sitting in a chair when he died. His health fluctuated for three months. Attimeshe was very low. Then again he rallied and was comparatively easy for several days.

Mr. Wannemacher himself made no secret of the fact that his illness might prove fatal. He made his own funeral arrangements ami chose the pallbearers, of whom Hon. John 'II. Pascoe and Dr.

A. J. Kern, his colleagues in the assembly, are two. Mr. Wannemacher was an active business man for more than a generation.

He was then engaged in mining and as superintendent of mends of the Thomas Co, About seven years ago he relinquished that position on accountof his health and for three years he was engaged in the shoe business in Allentown. He then moved to Macungie, where he be-came a prosperous dealer in coal, lumber, grain and slate. Last tall he was nominated for the legislature by the Republican county convention. With his colleagues, Messrs.

Pascoe and Kern, he was elected by a majority ot about oOO. Speaker Walton appointed him a member of the committees on federal relations, judicial ap-pointments and pensions and gratuities. In the assembly hall he sat beside Mr, Pascoe. So hard and conscientiously did he work that Mr. Pascoe often warned hiin to lot up for the sake of his health.

He ran to him and found it was his friend, Richard E.

Madara, of Heading, ho had been in the tree gathering cherries. Ho was moaning in great pain and his face.which had been pierced by the bird shot, was covered with blood. Madara was taken to his home and a doctor sent for, who found his face badly peppered with shot and his eyes so badly injured that he may lose his sight.
