Be Sare Its Best Before Going Too
Far.
Democrats who are urging fusion with
the Independents on a State ticket this
year should consider all sides of this ques-
tion carefully before tying the party up to
such a policy. It might work well and
again it might defeat fusion just when a
union of the Democratic and Independent
forces would prove of the greatest benefit.
We refer to next year’s campaign. Sup-
pose we fuse this fall, and fail, what effect
must that have on a movement to unite all
elements in opposition to the state ring in
1902, when the most important election that
Pennsylvania has had for years and years,
will be on hand. Will it not discourage
every weak-kneed Independent, and will
it not strengthen the opposition from those
Democrats who naturally are opposed to
fusion movements? Will it not show to
the ring just where its weak spots are and
drive it to such compromises as will render
further efforts at fusion abortive.
There is no use in shutting our eyes to
the fact that this is an off year in politics,
and that the vote which will be polled will
be a light one. There will be but little of
political bitterness to distract and divide
and there will be less opportunity and
fewer reasons for the Independents to show
a fair measure of their strength than there
has been for years. If, under a fusion agree-
ment this year, they should fail to make a
good showing, would it not so weaken and
demoralize them that they would be prac-
tically helpless to do anything next year.
This is a matter that should be seriously
considered before going too far in the pro-
posed movement. The WATCHMAN is for
the success of the ticket at all times, but
it has serious doubts as to whether fusion
now is nota little previous and more liable
to discourage and defeat all efforts in this
line next fall, when it could be made ef-
fective, than it is to secure success in the
coming November.
——Lawyer JNO M. DALE, who a few
years ago was a rampant QUAY adherent,
but of late has been acting with the anti-
QUAY element and Hon. Wm. ALLISON,
are to be elected as delegates from the county
to the Republican state convention. THOMP-
SON, who sold those who nominated and
elected him out, is to be given the cold
shoulder. Even the crowd he served are
anxious to prevent his name being men-
tioned as a candidate and while he is itch-
ing for the recognition the position would
give him, it is more than probable that he
will not have enough of friends in a single
precinct in the county to give him a re-
spectable showing.
Weeks ago it was the boast of the anti-
HASTINGS and anti-REEDER Republicans
of the county that they would show these
two bosses what could be done towards
taking the Republican party of the county
out of their clutches when their primaries
came around. It is within a few weeks of
that time now and the only preparation
that they are making is to swallow any
dose the ex-Governor and his chairman
may offer them. As matters now look
they will be allowed to vote for Represent-
ative WILLIAM ALLISON and lawyer
JACK DALE to represent them in the state
convention, and be given the opportunity
to continue REEDER as chairman of the
county committee. This may not be a
palatable dose for many of them but they
must grin and bear it, and that is all there
is to it. People who want bosses must do
what the bosses order.
Causes of the Strikes
If, as has been asserted, the officers of the
Amalgamated association of iron and
steel workers have insisted on making men
join the organization who were disinclined
and struck work because the managers of
the billion dollar trust refused to join in
the co-ercive measures, they would be en-
tirely in the wrong with respect to the
strike and would deserve to be defeated in
their aims. But as a matter of fact that
is a lie deliberately invented by some of
the officers of the trust and spread .abroad
to deceive the public. It will hardly
serve the purpose for few if any grown
people are credulous enough to be fooled
by a fairy tale. But falsehoods travel fast
and have wonderful effects.
The strike of the billion dollar trust em-
ployees is in consequence of a demand for
an increase of wages and not an unreason-
able increase at that. The workers in the
mills see all the evidences of prosperity
about them but they have not shared in it.
The prices of the products of their labor
have advanced and the demand increased
in volume. But there was no addition to
the rate of wages except in isolated cases
in which few men were employed and the
improvement made little difference’ in the
aggregate. But the expenses of living
multiplied and the signs of the opulence
of the managers appeared everywhere.
Then the men asked for an increase, not
that their condition might be bettered but
in order that it would grow no worse.
The demand was refused and the men
threatened to strike. They were urged
not to resort to that expedient until the
subject was cobsidered more carefully.
To this they agreed and a couple of weeks
were spent in negotiations. Meantime the
trust was strengthening its weak points.
It was stocking up on articles for which
there is much demand and finally decided
that it wouldn’t agree to the demands and
the strike followed. But there was no
proposition to unionize the mills not in the
union. The only approach to that was ade-
mand that the union wages he paid to non-
union men to the end that they be not
given a preference because they would ac-
cept lower rates when trade is dull.
The Great Steel Strike.
All The Plants Closed Monday Shut Down Tight To-
Day. Sons of Toil Present a Solid Phalanx in Their
Efforts to Combat the Most Gigantic Trust the
World Ever Knew.
PITTSBURG, July 16. —There were no
developments in the great steel strike in
this district during the early hours of the
second day. All the plants closed yester-
day were shut down tight, and matters
about the Painter mill, Lindsay & McCut-
cheon, Clark’s Solar iron works, the Mo-
nongahela and Star tin plate plants were
quiet. It was stated that Painter’s mill
was in partial operation, but the only men
at work were a few Hungarians who were
cleaning up about the yards. Replying to
the rumor that the management had
brought a strike breaker from Alabama,
Assistant General Manager Harper said:
‘“We can break our own strikes.”’ Super-
intendent Albrecht, encountered a few mo-
ments later, said the plant would be run-
ning in fall within a few days.
Speculation as to the probable settlement
of the strike is active in all circles and
among business men and manufacturers
generally the consensus of opinion is that
the combine officials and amalgamated offi-
cials will get together before long and ad-
just the differences. Some of the manu-
facturers were emphatic in stating that it
would be arranged within forty-eight hours,
yet they could give no positive information
of any movement on foot to start negotia-
tions.
In regard to the thioat of President Shaf-
fer to call out the working men in the oth-
er union plants of the United States cor-
poration, made on Saturday, a significant
statement from him today that just now he
was not in the sympathetic strike business,
is looked upon as meaning that for the
present the men will beallowed to continue
work. President Shaffer was cheerful when
seen this morning, and said he was entire-
ly satisfied with the situation. He had
just been in communication with George
Powell, president of the American tin plate
workers’ protective and international asso-
ciation of America, at Ellwood city, - who
announced that his organization was in
hearty sympathy with the Amalgamated
strikers and the statement was untrue that
3,000 dippery men would continue work.
It was reported that these men had decid-
ed to continue work because of the lack of
co-operation of the Amalgamated associa-
tion when the scale with the American tin
plate company was adjusted a year ago.
president T. J. Shaffer announced that
strike benefits will go to the idle men from
the time of the actual inauguration of this
strike yesterday. The association has a
substantial fund, he says, and the
men remaining at work in plants outside
of the big steel combine will pay liberally
to support the strike. Moreover, many of
the idle men are anxious for a vacation.
He is preparing a circular of information
on the strike. He said of it : ‘It will be a
circular letter to the general membership
of our order, stating our position, argu-
ments and expectations.”
When asked about president Mitchell’s
statement last night, president Shaffer
said : “‘I shall not ask the miners to go on
such a strike. God help the poor coal
miner. He is the best union man in the
world, and the poorest paid of them all.
He has troubles enough of his own and we
have no desire to involve him. But while
I shall not invite nor solicit a sympathetic
strike, the Amalgamated association stands
ready at any time to effect an alliance with
the United Mine Workers or any other
kindred organization, many of whose mem-
Steel Corporation.’’
Vice President David Rees reported to
headquarters that he had organized the
men in the William Clark’s Sons mill, tak-
ing in the lodge 100 men out of the 500
employed, and as a result the plant was
closed today. This mill was the only hoop
plantin the city that worked yesterday and
has been non-union since 1889. President
Shaffer stated that there was one mill work-
ing at Dancansville, Pa., and that the
Scottdale and Old Meadow plants were still
at work, but nothing was heard from Salts-
burg.
J. R. Philips, district manager of the
American tin plate company was asked to-
day whether tbe company would attempt
to start up the closed mills with non-union
men. He said he did not know.
A revised list of the plants of the three
combinations affected by the strike were
prepared this morning, together with the
number of skilled workers. In the mills
of the American tin plate company, twen-
ty-five men are employed in three turns, in
each as follows. Roller, rougher, doubler,
doubler’s help, heater, beater’s helper,
catcher and one screw hoy and one shear-
man, who does the work for three turns
with two openers. Each mill’s full quoto
of skilled men is twenty seven. The tin
plate combination employes at its 270 mills
7,290 skilled workers, of this number 6,966
are on strike and 324 are working at the
National works at Monessen.
The Amalgamated men employed on each
turn in a sheet mill number as follows :
Roller, rougher, catcher, pair heater, heat-
er, heater’s helper, doubler, matcher, shear-
man, shearman’s helper, three openers and
two lifters.
Each mill employs forty-five skilled men.
The American sheet steel company employs
7,470 skilled men, in its 166 mills. Of
this number 2,250 skilled men are at work
at fifty mills that have not been closed by
the strike.
In she American steel hoop company
there are 7,000 skilled workingmen and all
but 250 at the Duncansville plant are idle.
This makes 19,000 skilled workingmen
out at present. Tt is estimated that the
unskilled labor in the various mills affect-
ed by the strike will run the total close to
the claim-of 74,000 idle men, made by the
Amalgamated association.
NEW'YORK, July 16.—President Charles
M. Schwab, of the United States Steel Cor-
poration and ‘the other officials of the com-
pany now here declined to-day to publicly
discuss the strike sitnation. Mr. Schwab
has been in conference with J. Pierpont
Morgan and others ‘but no hint of their at-
titude or conclusions has been given to the
public. It has been reported that there
would be a general conference on the sub-
ject here and also that there was a maove-
bers are employed by the United States
ment afoot for a'settlement of the strike,
but confirmation or denial of these stories
could not He obtained at sources of
authority.
MANY MINES TIED UP.
WILKESBARRE, July 16.—The strike of
the stationary firemen inaugurated to-day
has tied up nearly all the mines in the
Wyoming valley and a conservative esti-
mate places the number of men idle at 43,-
000. This includes the men out in the
Scranton district. Only about 800 of
tuese are firemen. The balance is made up
of miners, laborers, engineers, breaker
boys and machidists employed in and
about the collieries. Every mine from
Pittston to Nanticoke is affected.
When the whistles blew at 7 o'clock for
work the firemen refused to report for
duty and orders were then issued by the
superintendent to close down. The strik-
ing firemen returned to their respective
headquarters, where they held meetings
and discussed the situation.
President Mullahy, of the state asso-
ciation, told the Associated Press corres-
pondent that up to 10 o’clock a. m. he had
received reports from the entire Wyoming
district of the anthracite region and only
five collieries were working.
President Mullahy estimates that 50,-
000 mep are idle. The coal companies
have pressed intoservice their foremen and |.
fire bosses’ who will be employed as fire-
men for the time being. This is necessary
in order to keep the pumps running and
the mines free from water. At some of the
collieries hoisting engineers who were ask-
ed to work with the new men refused and
quit their posts.
At other mines the engineers remained
on duty. The Lehigh Valley company is
operating its Maltby colliery, hoisting the
usual quota of coal. The Delaware and
Hudson company has two mines working
and the officials say they have enough
firemen to keep the pumps running.
Several manufacturing concerns gave in
to the demands of the firemen this morn-
ing. The Wilkes-barre lace company em-
ploying 1,200 hands, was among those
that capitulated. The Hazard rope works
employing 1,000 men, followed shortly
afterward. The Wilkes-barre and Wyom-
ing Valley Traction company officials told
their firemen to go to work at the increase.
A number of smaller plants also acceded
to the demand.
Airship Trip Around the World.
Santos-Dumont Inventor of Dirigible Balloon Con-
fident Such a Voyage Will be Made.
PARis, July 1g.—M. Santos-Dumont,
inventor of the dirigible halloon an ae-
count of the performance of which was
cabled to the United States, has his im-
agination fixed upon an aerial voyage
around the world. He is perfectly con-
fident that such a voyage will be made, al-
though he does not speak at present of at-
tempting it himself.
*‘I may drop this pursuit,’’ he said to an
interviewer yesterday, ‘‘ but that does not
matter. If I do not work at it others will.
Aerial navigation has now reached a point
where it cannot fall into oblivion. At
present a trip ie somewhat expensive, ow-
ing to the cost of hydrogen gas. They
charge me 4 francs a cubic metre, so every
time I take the balloon out its inflation
alone costs 2,500 francs ($500. ) :
Speaking of the adoption of a petrole-
um motor, which is his own idea, he
said :
‘“All the ballooning authorities told me I
was a madman and that the balloon would
certainly blow up. M. Lachambre, the
great balloon maker of Paris,of whom I or-
dered my first steerable balloon, had al-
ready stitched the silk when he learned
that I was going to use a petroleum mo-
tor. He thereupon refused to deliver the
balloon,saying that it would not be to such
a piece of folly.”’
In describing his sensations he said that
constant attention is required on the
shortest trips.
The rudder lines cannot be let out of the
hands for a moment or the balloon will be-
gin to rock and lurch. On Friday all the
steel wires, being tightly stretched, were
humming from the vibrations of the mo-
tor like a Folian harp. Never was such
a wonderful concert heard, new harmonies
arising with every change in the speed.
On Saturday the wires were silent be-
cause the motor was not running at high
speed.
Mr. Santos-Dumont contemplates a trip
over Paris before again trying for the
Deutsch prize. He suggests mancuvring
over the Place de la Concorde, and alight-
ing on the roof of the Automobile club.
Another interviewer represents M. San-
tos-Dumont as not contemplating selling
his invention to any government. He
said : ‘‘Anybody who wants my secret
can have it, besides there is no secret to-
day. IfI took out a patent anybody conld
copy it.”
Two Privates Recaptured.
MANILA, July 16.—Lieutenant Patrick
A. Connolly, of the Twenty-first regiment,
who was sent with twenty men to recap-
ture the American prisoners taken in Min-
doro, made his first landing in the island
yesterday. He attacked the town of Cap-
lana and a score of natives were killed and
the town was partly burned before the
place surrendered. Private Kidder, of the
Thirty-eight regiment, and Private Blake,
of the Twenty-eighth were recaptured.
Great Frauds in Turkish Customs.
LoxDON, July 16.—A dispatch to the
Pall Mall Gazette from Constantinople says
great frauds have been discovered in the
‘Turkish customs. The embezzlements
are said to exceed £120,000 sterling. Sev-
eral of the higher custom officials have
been arrested.
Fatal Explosion at Sunbury.
Two Killed and a Number of Others Injured. Dis-
trict Attorney Miller, of this City, it is Said, was
to Have Been a Passenger on the Boat. Several
Boys are Missing.
A steamboat which was to have taken
the guests of Superintendent W. D. West-
fall, of the Northern Central division of
the Pennsylvania railroad, on a pleasure
trip up the river, blew up Saturday morn-
ing at 9:40 o’clock at its landing at Sun-
bury, killing Arthur Fetzer, aged 14, son
of special officer Fetzer, of the First Na-
tional bank, Sunbury. and injuring a num-
ber of others.
District attorney Miller, of Harrisburg,
was to have been a guest of Superintendent
Westfall on the trip but he had not gone
on board when the explosion ocenrred. The
boat was lying at the landing with steam
up and was taking on provisions when the
explosion occurred. The only adult on
board when the explosion occurred was the
pilot, but there were a number of children
who were on their way up the river ona
pleasure excursion.
George F. Rymere, the pilot of the boat,
was missing, and the police dragged the
river until Tuesday when the body was
found one hundred and fifty yards from
Tr
the scene of the accident. All of the flesh
was stripped from his breast.
The injured are :
Charles Keller, aged twelve, ribs frac-
tured and injured internally; will die.
Frank Keller, aged eight, skull frac-
tured and badly cut; will die.
William Hulen, aged seventeen, badly
burned and bruised.
Harry Adams, aged thirteen, cut and
bruised.
Several others were injured, but not
seriously.
All of the boys killed and injured were
fishing on a near-by wharf when the ex-
plosion occurred. The engineer was absent
at the time, leaving the boat in charge of
the pilot. When he left there was a
pressure of sixty pounds in the boiler and
he says he opened the fire door. No cause
is given for the explosion.
The steamboat was the Montour, which
had been purchased several months ago by
some railroad officials from the Pennsyl-
vania canal company and had been con-
verted into a pleasure boat.
The cause of the explosion had not been
accounted for at a late hour this afternoon.
The boat was valued at $2,500.

PLEASANT GAP’S ANNUAL FESTIVAL. —
The great fantastic parade that has been of
ansual occurrence at Pleasant Gap for sev-
eral years has come to be a regular fete day
for that community and has probably fasten-
ed itself so effectually among the customs of
the people out there as to become perma-
nent and growing in interest and pleasure
with each succeeding vear.
We had the pleasure of witnessing the
parade and festival last season and were
really astonished at its magnitude and the
evident trouble the people had gone to to
make it a success. This year the great
parade is set for Saturday evening, July
27th, at 7 p. m. and it ‘will be more
monstrous than ever.
Several bands will be in line and it is
probable that the Logan Engine Co., from
this place, will go out to participate in the
affair.

The wheat crop in this section that
has all along pointed to be one of the largest
is now gathered and in many instances is
turning out to be a bitter disappointment.
While there is more than an ordinary crop
of straw the yield of wheat is anything but
promising. In some parts of the county, it
is said the heads are well developed, but
are not more than half filled, while in
others the fly and different causes will
reduce the yield until it is a safe guess to
put the total at a fair half crop. Some
farmers allege that it will amount to this,
while others are satisfied that a fairly good
crop will be realized.
———
A REMINDER OF THE PAST.—There was
a very delightful little celebration on Sat-
urday night at the home of Mr. Wm.
Burnside in honor of Mrs. Rebecca Burn-
side’s seventy-eighth birthday. For years
it has been a pleasant custom for a few old
friends of Mrs. Burnside to celebrate her
natal day with her and it seems indeed a
very charming way of thus marking the
years as we pass through life, for we are
such a busy people that we are mostly as
ships that pass in the night—*‘Only a look
and a voice, then darkness again and a si-
lence,’’ rarely taking time to give ‘‘A little
warmth, alittle light, of loves bestowing’
—Dby saying only the pleasant things.
There are few hostesses to whom such oc-
casions are the real enjoyment that they
are to Mrs. Burnside, for her hospitality is
not acquired but has been a characteristic
of the family for generations. The home
of her grandfather, Dr. Perlue, was the
rendezvous for the elite in the whole coun-
try and we often now hear tales of the many
gay times when Mrs. Burnside and her
fou: sisters were yet unmarried and the
young Lochinvars wonld ride many
miles to make merry with them. Of that
gay company Mrs. Burnside and her broth-
er, Col. George Thomas, are the only
survivors.

COUNCIL IN SESSION. -—Council met on
Monday evening with members Gerberich,
Reynolds, Knisely, Gherrity, Canningham,
and Whittaker present. There was really
no business of importance transacted.
Summer helmets were asked for the po-
lice and the matter referred to the proper
committee; the Street committee reported
against putting a new light on Burnside
street and was authorized to draw up an
ordinance regulating the width of side
walks in the borough. William Bathursé
was appointed high constable in place of
Josh Folk, resigned.
It was decided to lay a 6 inch water pipe
east on Bishop street to Wilson, then run a
pipe on Wilson to east High, where it is to
connect with a new 4 inch pipe to be run
out High. The estimated cost is $1,400.

THE PIKE ABANDONED.—There was
considerable interest manifested in the
hearing of proceedings in the condemnation
of the Bald Eagle, Nittany and Brush val-
ley turn pike road before W. G. Runkle,
as master, last week. The portion of the
pike in question extends from the Clinton
county line through the Nittany gap to
Emanuel Harter’s, in Brush Valley, the
pike distance being eight miles and a frac-
tion.
The jury was composed of Joseph Hoy
Sr., Henry C. Campbell, Daniel Hall,
Nathaniel Bierly and S. D. Ray. C. M.
Bower Esq., represented the petitioners,
C. G. and 8S. D. Furst, of Lock Haven, and
Clement Dale Esq., of Bellefonte, the turn
pike company, and J. C. Meyer Esq., the
county.
One day was devoted to going over the
route of the turn pike, one day was taken
up by the petitioners in producing testi-
mony in favor of condemning the turn pike,
while four days were divided about equal-
ly between the owners of the turn pike and
‘the county in furnishing evidence as to the
amount of damages tobe allowed. After
consulting about one hour the jury return-
ed a verdict in favor of condemning the
turn pike and awarded to the owners the
sum of $1,104.20 damages.
MARRIAGE LICENSES.—Following is
the list of marriage licenses granted by or-
