The all absorbing question of who will get the appointive offices to be given by the sheriff and commissioners-elect has been very early answered and the an- nouncements which the new officials have to make in that direction will doubtless prove generally satisfactory. It is but natural to infer that some will be disappointed. Any person who aspires to a place of honor, which it has not been his good fortune to secure, is disappointed at his failure. He would be a listless can- didate who would not be so. But it is to be hoped that no ill will be engendered by the appointments that have been made, because the officials have doubtless acted for what they have considered the best and when inspired by such a motive no censure should attach to their actions. Sheriff-elect BRUNGART has chosen the present deputy, Mr. HARRY JACKSON, to continue in office with him for his three years of service, and a very wise choice he has made. Deputy JACKSON isthoroughly acquainted with the duties of the office and his past record as an officer has been such as to make his appointment very pleasing to all classes. C. M. BOWER Esq. has been made sheriff’s attorney. The commissioner’s have not formally announced all of their appointments, but they are unofficially understood to be as follows : Attorney for the board, J. C. MEYER Esq. ; county physician, Dr. M. A. KIRK ; clerk to the board, Boyp A. MUSSER; custodian of public buildings and grounds, THOS. SHAUGHENSY Jr. There were more applicants for the two last named offices than for any of the oth- ers and while a lot of very good men were seeking them no fault can be found with those who have been successful. Mr. Musser is splendidly equipped for the duties of commissioner’s clerk. He is young and affable and has a wide acquain- tance in the county, besides being so much of a scholar as to be able to successfully meet any of the complications that are likely to arise in that office. Im the new position he will have the opportunity to make greatly for the good of the party and we trust that he will exercise tact in strengthening our organization wherever possible. Mr. SHAUGHENSY’S appoint- ment will prove entirely satisfactory be- cause he is just such a young man as will give the county faithful service and will be judicious in the exercise of the functions his new place will devolve upon him. -——=Should the new board of Commis- sioners prove as prompt in the transaction of the county business as they did in mak- ing their appointments, there’ll be no dust allowed to gather on the papers of that of- fice. At the rate they went through with that job they’ll do a day’s work before breakfast, ——The Williamsport Sun has announc- ed that a man was recently operated on in that city who had been shot in his ‘‘auxil- iary.”” If the Sun will kindly explain just where the ‘‘auxiliary?’’ is to be found in the human anatomy we will be better in- formed as to where the shot struck the in- jured man. Two Strong Planks. Democrats in 1900 Will Fight the Trusts and Imperi- alism—The Cemmittee Adjourns—Will Hold Meet- ing Hereafter Every 60 Days. CuicaGco, Nov. 21.—The Democratic National executive committee, after a brief session, adjourned sine die to meet at the call of vice chairman Johnson. If was practically agreed that meetings of the executive body will be beld every 60 days and that no session will be held before January. No new business was taken up to-day, the members devoting most of their time to a discussion of the general situa- tion and to the outlock in their several States. The sentiment of the members of the committee was unanimous that the Demo- cratic National committee next year would indorse the Chicago platform in its entirety and that anti-trust and anti-imperialism planks would also be adopted. None was willing to express an opinion as to the par- amount issue in the campaign. ‘A convention can adopt a platform, but it cannot create a paramount issue,” said vice chairman Johnson. ‘The peo- ple themselves do that. It is evident, though, that the trust and imperialist is- sues are prominent at present.’’ The entire matter of the place and date of the National committee meeting was placed in the hands of chairman Jones, who will issue the call. He refused to-day to state when it would be called, but some date in January is favored, with Washing- ton as the place of meeting. Mr. Jones will leave for Washington to-morrow. Chairman J. K. Johnson, of the ways and means committee, reported on the na- tional work as regards the campaign fund and showed that $175,000 had heen sub- scribed and $147,000 collected. Just previous to the calling of the meet- ing the first button for the campaign of 1900 was passed around, and the legend in- scribed thereon was favorably commented on. The button which was sent with the compliments of former chairman Harrity, bore the words, *‘No foreign alliance ; no trusts ; no imperialism for United States.” *‘That’s a good platform,” remarked committeeman Clayton, of Alabama. VAN BUREN, Ark., Nov. 21.--Colonel Wm. J. Bryan has arrived here from Taney county, Mo., accompanied by his son. To-morrow Mr. Bryan will be the guest of the Point Gun club, and will spend the day duck shooting. Thursday night he will address the students of the Arkansas University at Fayetteville. He will ac- company his family home to Lincoln, Neb., next Monday. Vice President Hobart Dled Tuesday Morning. Turn for the Worse Came on Monday Afternoon and at Midnight He Became Unconscious—His Death Had Been Expected at Any Time. The Termination of a Successful Career. Vice President Hobart died at his home at Paterson, N. J., at 8.30 o’clock Tuesday morning. The Vice President had been failing smece late Monday afternoon, although the reports given out at the house were that he was holding his own. At mid- night he became unconscious, and at seven o’clock this morning he had an attack of angina pectoris, from which he never rallied. His death {followed at 8.30 o'clock. Mrs. Hobart, Dr. Newton, Mrs. Newton, who is a cousin of Mrs. Hobart, and Miss Alice Waddel, the nurse, were at the pa- tient’s bedside constantly from the time he became unconscious. At 7.30 o’clock the Vice President’s pri- vate secretary, Mr. Evans, called up the White House by telephone and notified President McKinley that Mr. Hobart was dying. At 9 o’clock Mr. Evans communi- cated again with the President, notifying him of the Vice President’s death. WEAK SPELL ON MONDAY AFTERNOON. Mr. Hobart had a very weak spell late Monday afternoon, from which he rallied at about 8.30 p. m., but again grew weak- er towards midnight. Later on there seem- ed to be a slight improvement, but after midnight he became unconscious and re- mained in that condition until his death Tuesday. Before Mr. Hobart became un- conscious he was able to converse with Mrs. Hobart about some private affairs. He was very patient and showed his remarkable will power up to the last. MR. HOBART’S ILLNESS. Mr. Hobart’s illness first attracted public attention when he came to Long Branch last summer. He spent a portion of the summer there and during that time had a number of weak spells. It was not admit- ted then by his physicians or family that he was seriously ill. Although he contin- ued in failing health he was able to drive out and attend the Long Branch horse show. Near the end of the Long Branch season Mr. Hobart went to his Paterson home in company with Mrs. Hobart, his son and secretary. About a month ago Mr. Hobart’s illness took a decided change for the worse, and shortly after that a notice was issued by Mr. Hobart’s family to the public, admit- ting that the Vice President’s condition was very critical and that little hope of his recovery was entertained. The announce- ment was also made that he certainly would never appear in public life. Mr. Hobart’s family, his personal and intimate friends and political associates have since been re- signed to the inevitable, although there were times in the last few days of the Vice President’s illness that he was brighter and appeared to be growing stronger. This was especially the case during the past ten days. His appetite improved and he was reported to have passed several comfortable nights. On Sunday there was a decided unfavor- able change in his condition, and he con- tinued to grow weaker until the end came. Mr. Hobart’s funeral will take place on Saturday afternoon at 2 o,clock, at the church of the Redeemer (Presbyterian). THE VICE PRESIDENT WAS A SHREWD BUSI- NESS MAN. WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.—Garret A. Ho- bart was eminently successful, both in busi- ness and politics. His reputation as a man of affairs and as one of the shrewdest busi- ness men in the country was perhaps great- er than his reputation as a political leader and statesman until his election to the Vice Presidency three years ago. Mr. Hobart was born in 1844 at Long Branch, N. Y. His ancestors on his father’s side were Eng- lish and on his mother’sside Dutch. Thir- ty-three years ago he was graduated from Rutgers college and began teaching school. Three months later he entered upon the study of law with Socrates Tuttle, a promi- nent lawyer in Passaic county, who was at that time mayor of Paterson. Young Ho- bart is said to have arrived at Patterson with but $1.50 in his pocket, and from this small beginning he made his way unaided to wealth and prominence. In 1869 he was admitted to the bar, and the same year he married the daughter of Mr. Tuttle. Mr. Hobart made his way rapidly at the bar of his native State, and his bent led him early into politics. ELECTED TO STATE ASSEMBLY. In 1861 he was made city counsel of Pat- erson, and in 1872 was elected to the state assembly, of which body he was chosen speaker in the following year. Even dur- ing these early years he displayed that ac- curate knowledge of men and exhibited that wonderful executive ability which were the key of his later success, both in business and politics. At the end of his second year in the assembly he retired to devote himself to the law and to the nu- merous business interests with which he had become identified. But the demands of his party would not permit of his remaining long in private life, and, in 1876, he was elected to the State Senate, of which body he was chosen president in 1881. During his service in the Senate he was chairman of the judiciary committee and was the au- thor of many measures of importance which are now on the statute books of the State of New Jersey. His party became more ex- acting in its demands upon him. His was recognized as a safe and guiding hand and, from 1880 to 1891, he was at the head of the state Republican organization of New Jersey and, as such, planned some of the most brilliant campaigns conducted by his party in the State. From 1884 until publican executive committee and had much to do with the management of the national campaigns during those twelve years. During all these years his business connections became broader. His keen in- sight into affairs made hisadvice and coun- sel of such value that he was sought after by some of the largest corporations in the country and, at the time of his election as Vice President, he was a director in no less than sixty different companies. Probably the greatest business honor which he at- tained was his selection as one of the three arbitrators of the joint traffic association, composed of thirty-seven of the most prom- inent trunk lines of the country. Through his business connections and his law prac- tice he built up a large fortune. ELECTION TO THE VICE PRESIDENCY. After his nomination and election to the Vice Presidency on the ticket headed by McKinley he came to Washington and took up his residence in the old Cameron mansion, adjoining the site of the historic old Seward house on Lafayette square, where Blaine died. The Hobart residence during the past three years has been the scene of many delightful social affairs. Socially the Vice President and his charm- ing wife divided the honors with President and Mrs. McKinley. Vice President Ho- bart’s genial temperament and personality made him very popular, not only in the 1896 he was a member of the national Re- Senate, over which he presided with dignity and ability, but with all who came in con- tact with him. Mr. Hobart left but one child, Garret A. Hobart, Jr., a boy of 14 years. His daugh- ter, Fanny, died at the age of 22 years, in 1895, in Italy, while there with her pa- rents. Mr. Hobart was a popular presiding offi- cer and a good parliamentarian. It had been the habit of mest Vice Presidents to refer closely disputed points of order to the Senate for decision. Mr. Hobart, however. usually decided all such questions himself, especially if they involved parliamentary law and the rules did not provide for de- cision by the Senate. He was quick in dis- posing of business at his desk, and proceed- ings were never delayed on his part. His firm and impartial manner won the respect of all Senators, while his genial and pleas- ant ways made him one of the most popu- lar men who ever filled the high office which his death leaves vacant. Few men who wielded the influence he did in Washington have been so demo- cratic. He knew every page and messen- ger of the Senate by his first name. They knew and loved him. He was charitable and ever ready to do them a kindness. Old friends or former neighbors of the Vice President, bappening in Washington, came to the senate to inquire for ‘“‘Gus,’’ for the Vice President was known by no other name in Paterson. Women in a Strike. This Don’t Look ac if Coal Mines Were Prosperous. WILKESBARRE, Nov. 21.—The amazons of Nanticoke have given a new aspect to the strike that has been on at the Susque- hanna Company’s mines for the last five months, when last night and this morning they took the management out of the hands of the men and ran things to suit them- selves. The result is that a boy was shot, sev- eral of the company officials and special policemen injured, and the sheriff and his deputies are now on the scene with loaded revolvers ready to suppress any further violence, while the towns of Nanticoke and Glen Lyon ring with excitement. The whole affair has been most dramatic. What prompted the women to do it is not clear, but yesterday afternoon they held a big mass meeting in Smoulter’s hall, Nan- ticoke. About 300 women were present, and about half a dozen men. THE WOMEN TAKE CHARGE. Mrs. Martha Pascole, the wife of one of the strikers, constituted herself chairman of the meeting and made a stirring address. She said that the men had been able to hold out for five months, and that now they were talking of giving in and going back to work because they were not get- ting enough assistance from the union. She said that it was about time they did something. They had to suffer as much by the strike as the men, and she thought they should have the right to say as much about what was to be done, and she for one proposed that the strike should continue, and that the company should be shown that it could not have everything its own way. Her words fired the others to great enthusiasm, and there were several similar speeches. Then it was decided to take immediate action and go to the mines. They are now working only the firemen and the pump runners, and it is highly necessary that they should be, for the pumps have to be kept going to keep the mines from filling with water. MARCH TO THE MINES. These men work in two shifts of twelve hours each, and it was then time for the day shift to stop work. The women march- ed to the mines, blowing tin horns and hooting. At the No. 7 and the No. 5, they found the men on the night shift going to the mine and asked them not to work. Some of the men agreed, and then went into the company offices and were taken out quietly and put on an engine to be run to the No. 6 mine, but the women saw through the ruse and charged the engine. The men tried to fight them off, but they were overpowered and dragged to the ground, and were marched to their homes amid the hootings and cat-callings of the women, who threatened them with all kinds of injuries if they went back to work. Then the women returned to the mines and a large number of special police- men were hurried to the scene to guard them. The women contented themselves with shouting and blowing their horns, but attempted no further violence. A Record-Breaking Run. Reading Railroad Engine With Ten Cars Goes to Atlantic City in Forty-Seven Minutes. ATLANTIC CITY, November 20.—The Reading Railway to-day made a record be- tween Camden and Atlantic City that will be hard to beat. Engine No. 1028 made the run with ten ordinary day coaches in forty-seven minutes. This is an average of fifty-one seconds for a distance of fifty-five and a half miles, or a speed of seventy and six-tenth miles per hour. The object of the trip was not to break the speed record, but to see how much wa- ter is consumed. Engine 1028 had heen running on the Atlantic City division dar- ing the entire summer of 1899 with a 4,000 water tank attached to her. She made the run in fifty minutes, but the engineer claimed that he did not have sufficient tankage. To-day a 6,000 gallon tank was attached to the engine. Heretofore the fastest time made between Camden and A t- lantic City was forty-four minutes, with only five coaches attached. When the weight of the train is taken into considera- tion the run of to-day is a record-breaker so far as speed is concerned. The test as to the supply of water furnished by the new monster tender is regarded as entirely satis- factory. Another test will be made to- MOrTrow. The train to-day was manned by engi- neer Charles H. Pahl, fireman Edward Schwebel and conductor Charley McLain. The officials on hoard the train were S. F. Prince, Jr., superintendent of motive power; C. G. Steffee, general road foreman of engines; S. H. Stout, master mechanic of the main line division. Heister Hunter, road foreman of engines of the New York division; T. D. Mannion, master mechanic of the Atlantic City division. The train left Camden at 10.01 a. m. and arrived at Atlantic City at 10.48 a. m. The engine making this performance is a Baldwin compound locomotive. Goebel is Sure to Win. CHICAGO, Nov. 20.—National commit- teeman Urey Woodson, who was present at the meeting of the Democratic national executive committee, said that there was no doubt that the state board of elections of Kentucky wonld award the certificate of election to Goebel. He said that Mr. Goebel will not contest the case if the board of elections decides against him. IF'ormer Senator Joseph Blackburn, Mr. Woodson says, will be elected United States Senator. Americans Entered Dagupan. MANILA, Nov. 20—10.30 p. m.—General MacArthur’s reconnoisance entered Dagu- pan this afternoon. The Americans found that no insurgents had been there for four days. The Thirty-third infantry was prob- ably in Dagupan yesterday, leaving last night. No insurgents have been seen any- where near the railroad and it is believed that the only armed force of any size is in the mountains of the province of Zambales, to the west, although there are reports of insurgents concentrating at San Miguel de Camilang, west of Panique, and at Manga- tarom (or Mangalaron) west of Bayabang. General MacArthur is prepared for the at- tack, his forces being disposed between Durban, province of Tarlac, and Dagupan. The Twelfth infantry, a battalion of the Seventeenth infantry and two troops of cavalry are with General MacArthur below Dagupan. Two columns, one from Imus and the other from Bacoor, converged on the Sea- pote bridge, where they found a deserted Filipino camp. Two troops of the Fourth cavalry, four companies of the Fourth in- fantry and two guns of Captain Riley’s battery proceeded to Annaboo, south of Imus, and came upon the enemy entrench- ed at that point. They scattered the Fili- pinos, but, as the latter were subsequently reinforced, the Americans returned to Imus under fire, seven of our men being wound- ed. Our scouts found fifteen dead insur- gents at Annaboo. Thirty insurgents, under a major, es- caped Bayambang, yesterday, about ten minutes before the Americans entered. Others, it is said, threw their guns into the river and now play the roles of the Amigos. Many Spanish prisoners, escaped from the prisons, are at Bayambang, among them the former governors of the provinces of Tarlac and Zambales. There is also quite a large colony of former insurgent officers collected at that point, including Major Ortise, who acted as interpreter for the Filipino commission headed by General Alejandrino, which visited Manila in Sep- tember. Ortise donned the Amigo clothing and announces that he has abandoned the insurrection. The Spaniards say that the new insur- gent capital is Bengat and that the Amer- ican prisoners are at Camilien. They re- port having seen Lieutenant Gilmore and his party in the north. Having a Tough Time in the Philip- pines. Our Men Barefooted, Ragged and Half Starved.— The Sick Lert Unattended and Suffering Gen- erally. MANILA, Nov. 21, (6.05 p. m. )—Officers and soldiers arriving at Cabanatuan from General Lawton’s force described the cam- paign as one of great hardships. Many men dropping out sick were left at various towns without adequate supplies and at- tendance, some of them making their way back across the terrible roads. A number of horses were dying and many of the sol- diers, and even some of the officers, were marching on, half-naked, their clothes hav- ing been torn to pieces in getting through the jungles. Some of them were reduced almost to breech-clouts, and hundreds are barefooted, theirshoes being worn out, and all were living on any sort of provisions. Bread was rare, and carabao meat and ba- nanas were the staples. Aguinaldo 1s Still Elusive. Four of the American Generals May Fail to Trap the Wily Philippino Leader—Report that He was Seen With 200 Men, but Where is He Now ? General Young Reports that Aguinaldo Probably Intended to Strike Inland Through the Binquet Mountains, Towards Bayombong, in the Province of Nueva Visicaya. MANILA, Nov. 22.—12.55 p. m.—Gener- al Young reports that Aguinaldo, with a party of 200, including some women and a few carts, passed Aringay, on the coast, between San Fabian and San Fernando, in the province of Union, on Friday, Nov. 17. The general adds that Aguinaldo probably intended to strike inland through the Bin- quet mountains, towards Bayombong, in the province of Nueva Visicaya. General Young, with cavalry and Mac- abebes, is pursuing the Filipino leader, part of the American forces waiting in the direction of San Fernando. In afight with Aguinaldo’s rear guard at Aringay, one Macabebe was wounded and the insurgents retreated. Their loss is unknown. Cablegram from Otis WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.—General Otis to-day cabled the war department as fol- lows : * MANILA, Nov. 22. “Dispatch 21st, from Lawton, at Tavug, reports Young, with cavalry and Macabehe scouts, at Aringay, with advance north to Baong, rear San Fernando, about to move on trial east to Trinidad. Young reports considerable insurgent force moving in that direction ; that Aguinaldo is in charge, seeking to cross over to Bayombong. A portion of Lawton’s troops is now being pushed through to Tayug with rations. A battalion of the Twenty-fourth will join Lawton to-morrow. Nothing from Whea- ton for several days. MacArthur is oper- ating west of railroad and north of Tarloan; wire from Tarloan north does not work ; troops on entire railroad line rationed with- out difficulty. “Iloilo reports seven companies, Sixth and Twenty-sixth volunteers, under Dick- man, struck insurgents northeast Jaro ; casualties six wounded. Enemy left on field eighteen killed. Dickman captured seven prisoners ; four one-pound brass field pieces, several thousand rounds of ammu- nition. ‘‘Eighteenth infantry yesterday drove in- surgents north on Santa Barbara. Hughes with column north and west of Santa Bar- bara ; reports of results not yet received.” The dispatch from General Otis does not yet make it appear that efforts to capture Aguinaldo and the larger portion of his army will be successful. The intention of General Young to prevent Aguninaldo reach- ing Bayombong seems evident, but this seems scarcely probable now. Some errors have heen made in the transmission of the dispatch. Bayonbong is evidently meant instead of Bayombong. The town given as Tarlaon is probably Tarlac, as the situa- tion of MacArthur would indicate that he is operating not far from that place. No alarm is felt regarding the situation of General Wheaton as he has been for some time beyond telegraphic communication. Operations are also progressing in the island south of Luzon, as the last portion of the dispatch indicates. Evangelist Moody Improving. EAst NORTHFIELD, Mass., November 20. —D. L. Moody’s physician issued a bulle- tin to-night, stating that Mr. Moody had had a comfortzble day, and that his gener- al condition a1 1 his appetite have improv- ed. The physivian expects a steady,though not rapid, improvement. Cubans Await their Destiny. If Annexation be Decided on a Revolution May Break Out in the Island, MADRID, Nov. 20.—Private letters re- ceived here say that the Cubans mean to wait until January before declaring them- selves, since they still trust that the island will be ultimately freed. The publication of any manifesto in the new Madrid news- paper devoted to the cause of Cuban free- dom has also been delayed to that date. In case annexation to the United States is definitely decided on arebellion will break out immediately, for the Filipinos offer to help the Cubans to prolong their resistance to a fixed date. The Queen Regent, who is in Valencia, is seriously disturbed over political and economical problems that now agitate the country, and have brought it to the verge of a revolution. Next Convention at Washington. SPRINGFIELD, O., Nov. 21.—Washing- ton, D. C., was to-day selected for the next annual convention of the National Grange. The contest between Detroit, Buffalo, Cleveland and Washington was a warm one and the debate occupied much of the day’s session. The morning session was principally devoted to the executive com- mittee, through its chairman, J. J. Wood- man. He reported the hooks of the secre- tary and treasurer examined and found to be correct. There is now more than $50,- 000 to the credit of the National Grange, $40,000 of which is invested in real estate and the balance in current funds. There was an increase of $10,000 last year in the funds and 35,000 new members. Touch- ing trusts, the chairman said every effort should be made to crush them out, for they could not be controlled. Bear Dead, ‘Hunter Dying. STROUDSBURG, Pa., November 22nd.— Reuben Harps, a Wilkesbarre hunter, was found last night on the Pocono mountains near Stauffer’s, unconscious and horribly lacerated. Beside him lay dead a huge black bear. He started on his hunting trip on Monday. On Tuesday his dog re- turned to the village covered with blood. The searching party of twenty men headed by Isaac Stauffer, a wealthy lumberman, started to seek for Harps. He was finally found in a dense thicket and in a dying condition. There was every evidence that a desperate struggle had taken place. Died from Effects of Being Hazed. PriNcETON. N. J., November 22.— Marion V. Bergen, son of councilman Peter V. Bergen, of this place, died to-day from injuries received at Lawrenceville last Fri- day. Young Bergen was 12 years old and a Freshman at Lawrenceville.
