The Henry Clay colliery at Shamokin, at which place the terrible explosion took place yesterday morning, and which it was expected would be compelled to lay idle for several weeks will resume operations again a week from next Monday morning, so says a prominent official. Nine of the nest of boilers are still fit for use and will be put in place immediately and the remainder will be secured and put in position for use by the above day. They have already begun to pump the water out of the mine so that everything will be in readiness to resume as soon as the boilers are ready.

Those who survived the terrible ordeal through which they went at the time of the explosion are doing well and art on a fair way to recovery. Coroner Shindle empanelled a jury consisting of Oliver Drumheller, William Sterling, Harry Rohrheimer, James Lippiatt and David Sinister, who repaired to the homes of the yictims of the disaster and viewed the remains.

B. Bergstresser, The North Wall is Also Moving Out of Position NECESSITATING SUPPORT After Completely Rebuilding the South Wall the Contractors Are Now Con-' fronted With Another Damaged Pier. Vine street bridge, the construction of which was recently undertaken by the county commissioners, is now completed and traffic over that thoroughfare and in that vicinity has been resumed. The circumstances of the building of the walls and the subseqneut tearing down of the south pier owing to faulty construction is well-known to Dailv News readers. It is now an established fact that, after the bridge has been completed, the north wall is also faulty and has moved out eight or tan inches, making the job incomplete and detracting considerably from the finished lineaments that should characterize work of that kind.

Besides the bridge cannot be expected to stand the strain, that it would under proper conditions. Contractor George Bickel, who is engaged in filling the approaches to the bridge, in company with a number of others, inspected the wall and found that to keep it intact for a time at least would necessitate the propping up of the pier. To prevent further damage he had Dominic Oates insert timbers and in this condition the bridge stands to-day, practically as dangerous as hen the south wall gave way just after it had been completed and before the bridge girders had been secured. That the construction of this travelling way has been a serious blunder from start to finish there is prima facia evidence. Just exactly where the blame should be placed the Daily News does not pretend to say, but the county commissioners are coming in for as much adverse criticism and censure as the contractor.

That there is a general and vigorous kick among the taxpayers of this end of the county there is no denying. The commissioners undoubtedly tried to serve the best interests of the county and the taxpayers in giving the contract to such a low bidder as Barney Adams, of Shamokin, but the experience the commissions have had in the building of these expensive necessities this year should have taught them that the Vine street bridge could not have been erected for the figures bid, especially had they viewed the premises sufficiently to determine upon the character of the foundation necessary. The oldest citizens of Mt. Carmel well remember when the sulphur creek at this point was fully ten feet deep. The washing of coal dirt and culm into the cavity has filled it up within the last decade until to-day there is no visible depression.

In consequence the foundation walls for the bridge should have gone below the surface a corresponding distance or until a solid basis had been reached. The low figure at which the work was taken would not permit of this and as a result the job has been completed in keeping with cheap work. That the work is unsatisfactory there is no question and there is talk of entering a protest against its approval by the viewers. Much improved.

Robertson noy City teams on Saturday last, I would kindly ask space for the following article: A crowd of well "gentlemen," but not foot ball players by any means came down from Mahanoy City on Saturday, and of course brought their usual Schuyl kill county heads, which can find a hat to lit them in no other county but their own, with them. They came to play what they call foot ball. If foot ball were but a human being we dare say it would have committed suicide long ago at the sight of such a "gang" representing its name. But it is not and hence must endure all transgressions. They might have been a well-meaning crowd of fellows, but as soon as the game started tbey were sadly off their base; for their manager was referee and determined to win the game by bis unlimited efforts' if possible, but alas he knew nothing about the rules.

We are not perfectly versed in them ourselves but we know enough to know when a team is playing foot ball. But this is not the worst of it, we beat them by the score of 2(1 to 0 in a fair and square manner. After the game we were all right in Mahanoy City's opinion and played good, hard foot ball. But then what did they do? Like a cowardly cur that puts his tail between his legs and scampers off until he gets inside his own fence, and then with the fence ts a protector, snarls and bites at his far-distant foe; so has Mahanoy City done with us, through the medium of the Press as a protector; and now more cowardly than ever they threaten if they get us up there and cannot lcat us they will stone us from the town. All through this article we have endeavored to refrain from personalities, and if we have injured the feelings of any of Mahanoy City's "Gentlemen" we certainly beg for an opportunity to offer a most humble apology.

A PAirneirANT of the Game. A Terrible Bruise. Willie Whalen, aged about twelve years, a son of Michael Whalen of Stuart-ville, had a narrow escape from being killed at the Mt. Carmel colliery yesterday afternoon. He in company with a number of other boys were playing on the dirt bunl- and were in the habit of hanging on a rope which extends from a dirt car to an engine house.

Young Whalen had ginsped a tight hold on the rope and when the engineer started his engine it threw the boy into the air striking his head against a large iron wheel and inflicting a very painful wound. He was carried to home where the injury was dressed by Dr. Montelius. Next Saturday Night. The After the Ball company played at Bloomsburg Wednesday night and the Daily -hag this to say of them: "After the Ball" as presented in our Opera House last night was a fine success and very much enjoyed by all present.

It is a laughable and spirited comedy adopted from the French. It is sustained by a strong company selected by the author Joseph Herbert, at the head of hich is Mr. Corrigan. The audience was kept in almost continual laughter from beginning to end and went home happy. A Birthday Party.

A party was held in honor of the birth day of John Stillwagner at his home on Hickory street Wednesday night. Those in attendance were Misses Katie Dreher, Minnie St. Clair, Mary Thomas, Lizzie Fetterolf, Kate McElwee, Bessie Snyder and the Misses Griffith and Messrs. Joseph Andrews, Harvey Straus. sur, Charles Kebler, Daniel Dreher, Frank Sheridan, George Fetterolf and Charles St.

Clair. Entertained Her Friends. Last evening. Miss Annie Smith very pleasantly entertained number of her friends at her home on West Second street. The usual party games were indulged in and at a late hour, after having been served with refreshments, the young folks returned to their homes, speaking only in words of praise of the manner in which they were entertained by the young hostess.

Mine Improvements. One of the finest pieces of mine achievements in Shamokin for some time past has been the sinking and development of the rock slope at the Cameron colliery. This slope is sunk from the interior of the mine to the depth of about feet in the No. 10 vein. The coal is from live to six feet in thickness and of an excellent quality.

Foot Ball Notes. The Shamokin team will play a strong eleven from Bethlehem next Saturday. The Keystone foot ball team will probably play the Centralia eleven here on Saturday. Don't fail to attend the festival of the Mt. Carmel foot ball eleven in P.

The Evangelical Trustees Repudiate His Advances and an Injunction Will be Served The Reading Convention. C. C. Miller, one of the trustees of the Mt. Carmel Kvangclical church, returned last night from Reading, where he, with Itev.

V. A. Shoemaker, pastor of the church, attended a meeting of the Dubs faction of that denomination. At this meeting every charge in the conference was represented, there being 102 clergymen and 8(i laymen present. The United association embraces about 100 congregations representing about 18,000 members in Eastern Pennsylvania.

Greetings were recoived and read from Bishop Dubs, of Chicago, and a committee consisting of Bishops Stanford, Hainan -and Kev. W. F. Heil, was appointed to draw up a reply to the pastoral letter of the Bowmanites. A public meeting was held in Metropolitan Hall, at hich a number of addresses were made.

The meeting was called principally for the purpose of advocating reorganization under another discipline, compiled in accordance with the faith heretofore existing. The name of the association was changed to the United Kvangelicai Church, subject to the approval and adoption of the provisional conference which will be held at Naperville, Illinois, the third week in November, at which session each charge is entitled to representation embodied in the pastor and one layman, to be elected by the congregation. The object of this provisional conference is to adopt a discipline and code, which in turn will be submitted to the general conference, which will meet in October at a point decided at the coming meeting. The association's legal adviser, ex-Judge Baird, recommended that the Dubsites now in possession of property retain that possession until forcibly ejected. Carefully prepared statistics show that there are not two hundred Ksherites in Pennsylvania and while all the church property reared and erected by the Dubsites legally reverts to the Ksherites, the DubBites maintain that they are justified in opposing such a wanton waste of money and material, dedicated to the cause of religion.

The trouble anticipated among the Mt. Carniel congregation materialized this morning when Kev. J. VV. Trev-orton, representing the Bowman-Ksher faction, arrived in town and 'made a formal demand upon the trustees fur the possession of the church.

The trustees are Solomon Shoener, E. W. Dunkel-berger, Jonathan Detrick, George Hepler, A. A. Barr and C.

C. Miller. Mr. Miller was the first and only one with whom lie came in contact Upon this gentleman the demand for the keys' were made but Mr. Miller informed the reverend gentleman that when the regularly constituted Esher trustees of Mt Carniel made the demand some satisfaction would be given and not until then.

The members of the church had so resolved and they would light the matter through. The reverend gentleman called athe Daily News oIice subsequently and stated that an injunction would be served at once and the church closed by the sheriff. It is therefore probable that that the Mt. Carmel Evangelicals will not worship in their own church next Sabbath. At Herndon the Dubsites have turned over everything to the Ksherites, while at Treverton promises have been made to turn over the property next Monday.

E. E. Esher, of Chicago, Eon of Bishop Esher, visited Shamokin yesterday to complete arrangements for the transfer of the church in that town. Throughout the county church circles are greatly exercised over the outcome. The Race This Afternoon.

The trotting race at Lavelle racing course this afternoon between Dollie owned by Thos. J. Ryan, of Frackville, and Nellie owned by Thomas Dunn, of Mabanoy City, is attracting considerable attention and a number of Mt. Carmel admirers of fast horses are in attendance. Frances Wlllard III.
