County Chairman. When the Republican speakers tell of the deficits of the Treasury during the Cleveland Administra tion, quote the following to them from the Congressional Record, of March 26. 1S97, page 371, in which General Wheeler said: "For Republicans to attempt, as they do, to hold President Cleveland snd the Democratic party responsi ble for the present condition of the Treasury is a gross outrage and wrong. "They depleted the Treasury, and when they saw deficiencies and rein staring them in the face, they issued orders for the preparation of plates upon w hich to print bonds to sell and thus replete the money which, under their administration, was being so rapidly dissipated. To stave oft the disaster they had brought upon the country they withheld payments, and even went to far as to direct that judgments which had been rendered against the Government and for the satis faction of which appropriations had been provided should not be paid, 10 d by this and other means the deficiency was as far as possible pushed off upon Mr. Cleveland's Administration.

THE OLD RELIABLE IhKDtirC ramus Absolutely Pure; THERE IS MO SUBSTITUTE THE TROOPS OUT! Governor Stone Acceding to the Public De mand, Summons the States Whole Military Strength to , Action. The entire national guard ot the state is now on duty in the anthracite coal fields. Almost 10,000 soldiers are in service protecting the men who are working in the mines. The Gov ernor held a council of his officers and advisors Monday night and decided upon a call for all of the state's troops as his method of settling a strike which has developed into one of the worst ever known in the coal regions and a struggle fraught with grave possibilities to the nation. The Governor's order is as follows: "Headquarters National Guard, Adjutant Generai's Office, Harrisburg, Oct. 6. In certain portions of the counties of Luzerne, Schuylkill, Car bon, Lackawanna, Susquehanna, Northumberland and Columbia, tu mu'.ts and riots frequently occur and mob !ar reigns. Men who desire to work have been beaten and driven away and their families threatened. Railroad trains have been delaed, stoned and the tracks torn up. The civil authorities are unable to main tain order and have called upon the Governor and Commander-in Chief of the National Guard for troops. The situation grows more serious each day. The territory involved is so ex tensive that the troops now on duty are insufficient to prevent all disorder. The presence of the entire division of the National Guard of Pennsylvania is necessary in these counties to main tain the public peace. 'The Major General commanding will place the entire division on duty, distributing them in such localities as will render them most elective for preserving the public peace. As tu mults, riots, mobs and disorder usually occur when men attempt to work in and about the coal mines, he will see that all men who desire to work and their families have ample military protection. He will protect all trains and other property from unlawful in terferences, and will arrest all persons engaging in acts of violence and in. timidation and hold them under guard until their release will not endanger 1 the public peace; will see that threats, intimidations, assaults and all acts of violence cease at once. "Ti e public peace and good order will be preserved upon all occasions and throughout the several counties, and no interference whatever will be permitted with officers and men in the discharge of their duties under this order. The dignity and authority ot the state must be maintained and her power to suppress all lawlessness within her borders be asserted. 'By order of "William A. Stone. 'Governor of Commonwealth and ; Commander-in-Chief "Thomas J. Stewart, "Adjutant General." This is the first time the entire di vision has been placed in the field for strike duty since the Homestead riot in 1S92. The full strength of the division is 10,000. The expense to the state j for maintainance of the troops now on duty is estimated at $250,000 and it is probable that the total cost will exceed $1,000,000. General Gobin is of the opinion that the presence in the field of the entire military strength of the state, thus affording protection to the men who wish to work will have a good effect and will settle the strike in short order. Reduced Bates to Cleveland, Ohio- On account of the General Mission ary Convention of the Methodist Episcopal Church, at Cleveland, Ohio October 21 to 24, the Pennsylvania Railroad Company will sell excursion tickets to Cleveland, October 20 and 21, good to return, leaving Cleveland until October 27, inclusive, Irom all stations on its lines at reduced rates. 9 2t. INJUNOi'ION DISSOLVED. Continued from fint page. matter, but which it is not necessary to quote. "Frbm the foregoing and other authorities we conclude that a court of equity will interfere by injunction to restrain the acts of public functionaries when the evidence is clear, and shows that fraud and collusion have been practiced, in accomplishing the thing sought to be retained, or great abuse of discretion on their part; or that they acted without discretion or in haste; or through mtstake and to pre vent palpable wrong. Where, how ever, they have acted in good faith, and confined themselves in the admin istration of their duties within the powers conferred upon them by the law, even if they have committed an error of judgment in what they have done, the Court will not interfere. "The more serious accusations in the bill against Messrs Fisher and Kitchen, of fraudulent conduct and collusion, have been omitted. There is no evidence of either. "It has been argued, however, with great vigor and much force, that the action of these two Commissioners on Sept. 2, 1902, in promptly accepting the biJ of Mr. Thompson to buy the whole amount of the issue of the bonds of $96,000.00 at a like sum showed that they had abused their power and discretion; acted too hastily or without any discretion, at all being exercised by them. "This fact is, and we have so found that at the time when the resolution of that date was adopted, authoruing the issue of bonds: and as appears on the minutes, and as a part and parcel of the same proceeding, the proposi tion of Mr. Thompson to purchase the whole of the issue, was presented and the proposition of purchase was promptly accepted and the award of bonds made to him at his bid of $96,000. "It must be conceded that this fief, standing by itself, while not con clusive, temis to snow great haste and want of discreiion on the part of these i Commissioners. But this fact must '. u . 4 : -.i. uc ititcu 111 (.Ulllicilliril Willi Hie other facts found and the circumstan ces. "It was the Commissioners' plain J..... :r u.j . li 1 1 t.' for believing that the bonds were worth more than their par value, to ! hesitate in the matter of the accept-1 e , ... r . I ance of Mr. Thompsons bid, and make reasonable inquiry whether the ' bonds were worth more than the price ; offered. On the other hand, if thev were satisfied that the bonds were not worth more than their par value, act ing as ordinal ily prudent men, and exercising that care which men of common prudence do exercise in mat ters of concern to themselves, they were justified in selling the bonds at their face value. While there was testimony going to show that they had been informed at the meeting at the banking house, that a four per cent interest bearing coupon bond would sell for a premium; that fact could not be found from the evidence. They then krew that the previous issues of county bonds, bearing interest at the : rate of four per cent and four and I four-tenths per cent were negotiated by the Commissioners at par. Their absent member of the board had par-' ticipated in making the resolution of July 28, providing for an issue of bonds bearing interest at the rate of four per cent. Their lecal advisor. Mr. Zarr, himself a payer of consider able taxes, was cognizant of what was gcing on, and prepared the resolution then adopted. He was quite as much bound as they were to the exercise of good faith, and to see that the county was not wronged in the sale of bonds. "Pubiic officers are presumed to do their duty, and that they intend to do it. This presumption of a faithful performance of duty on the part of public officials will obtain, until it is overcome by evidence, clear and con vincing. "As the law does not prescribe it as a duty, the Commissioners cannot be said to have exceeded their power in making sale of the bonds without a public letting first had, or in making sale of the bonds to J. X. Thompson in the manner in which they did. "The facts found will not justify a court of equity to interfere by injunc tion to restrain the execution and delivery of the county bonds to J. N. Thompson, the purchaser thereof, nor the completion of the contract made by the coiany with him for the sale and purchase of said bonds. "The County Commissioners, Messrs. Fisher and Kitchen, did not transcend the powers conferred upon them by the law in the adoption of the resolution of September 2nd, 1902, whereby the county bonds were sold to J. N. Thompson for the sum of $96,000, that sum being the par value tnereot. "Now, October 3, 1902, it is order ed that the preliminary injunction heretofore allowed, be and the same is hereby dissolved." It is difficult to understand why women squeeze up their waists with corsets when there are so many men with muscular arms waiting round BLOOMSBTJRG'S GREAT FAIR. The Big Exhibition Now in Full Blast. Greater, Grander than Ever. The annual exhibit of the Col umbia County Agricultural Society opened auspiciously on Tuesday. The Bloomsburg fair has long been recognized as one of the biggest and best in Cetitral Pennsylvania, or as the Sunbury Item of Monday puts it: "The Bloomsburg Fair bows to the Allentown exhibit only, among all the Fairs of the great Keystone State." It is needless for us to state that the fair this year will be hilly up to the standard. Every department is filled up. The eutire spuce in the large exhibition building is occupied as it has never been before, the displays being larger, more varied and liatidsonur than ever. Among the leading attractions on the ground are the Ferris wheel and the Motor Cycle Whirl. The:e are the usual number of side shows of various descriptions, all the managers of which promise you more than your money's worth. Further explanation of the numer ous attractions is hardly necessary ! as you are no doubt planning a visit, ' and you can see for yourself. I The races, which are always an 1 interesting feature, will be hotly contested.

A fatal wreck occurred on the Pennslvania Railroad near Mihoa early Saturday morning, resulting in the death of James Wheeland of Harrisburg, passenger engineer, and Edward Stringer of Sunbury, conduc tor on the freight train. Albert Shaffer, the passenger hreman, also of Harris burg, was seriously, if not fatally injured. Word of the terrible collision was sent to Superintendent Preston at Williamsport, and he secured a special train and went to the scene, ariving there after the bodies of the dead men and injured fireman had been recovered. Large forces had engaged in the rescue work, ' and worked desparately when they heard a groan from Wheeland, but he was dead when reached at 3 o'clock. One arm was torn off. Conductor String er's body was terribly cut and from appearances he had been standing between freight cars when caught. Both bodies were taken to Sunbury. The investigation resulted in find ing that near the Milton station pass enger train No. 9 crashed into the rear of second section of freight No. 99, which had been left Danlv on a siding and partly on the main track, wnue tne engine went up the track. Not expecting the track to be block aded, the engineer of the passenger was running oa good time when the lernnc crash came. The first two passenger coaches were reduced to fragments, the engine, which ran over the ties and raked the freight cars on the siding, was demolished, and the two cars into which it Dlunced were also torn to kindling wood. Two Daggage cars went over the bank, and in one Baggage Master Peter Phillips had a wonderful escape from iniurv. The rear six nassenfer rnarU re mained on the track and none of the passengers were hurt. Tracks were torn up three hundred feet, and trains had to be transferred to the reading road at Montgomery to prevent a serious delay of traffic. James Wheeland, the dead engin eer, was formerly a resident of Sun bury and was a son of the late Benja min Wheeland, himself an engineer on the P. & E. division. He had resided at Harrisburg for three years. He was 51 years of age, and is sur vived by his wife and three children, in Northumberland. Fireman Shaffer's home is in Sun. bury. A late report received at the Pennsylvania Riilroad offices here Sunday night was that he still lives bur his condition is unchanged.
