Bailey gave permission to occu py the common council chamber. The aim and object of the alliance is the advancement of agriculture In this state, principally done by working to ward the enactment of legislation thnt will foster this great Industry. During the past presidential compalgn the al liance was heart and hand In favor of the Issue of free silver and the Chicago platform In general.

Hesolved, That we, assembled as state officers and delegates to the State Farm ers' Alliance and Industrial union, do ex tent to the muyor am council of the city of Seranton, also to the county commis sioners of Lackawanna county, our most sincere thanks for the use of their beauti ful council hall und the court house dur ing our session. A. T. Copenhaver, L, A. Curtis and D. M. Omwake, committee. President Gardner then delivered his annual address. It was as follows: President Gardner said that this state council Is forced to meet the great na--tional depression which has hung like a dark pall over the Industries and has laden the market with extremely low prices ot labor products. In speaking of the presidential cam paign Just passed he referred to It as the most aggressive ever fought on American soil. If the gold standard, he said had been shorn of the Immense money power, the country would now be looking forward to the installation of national ollicers who would meet the demands of the farmers. If the silver side had won It would mean to them the achievement of almost an Ideal re ward. PRESS AND PLATFORM. One of the most prac ticable means to carry out the educational part of the work, which he denominated as the most prominent feature and chief cor ner stone of the alliance, is the lecture system and the reform press. To strengthen each as far as possible fhould be the effort of the council. He said v.e are confronted by organ ized trusts, that are protected by our law-making bodies, and are absorbing the fruits of our labor with cruel and relentless hands; and we can do no bet ter work In the council than to recom mend to Incoming legislators an .equal ization of tuxes on the corporation wealths of the state, and an equal amount appropriated In the Interest of agriculture that Us relative Interest bear to the wealth of the state; and to protest emphatically against the continuation and formation of depart ments with large salaries, absorbing vt hat. might be applied to the proposed cash road tax. The subject of fire insurance wafl touched upon briefly. . In the year past the president met with an accident nnd he expresstd his sincere thanks to the members tor the kindly lulorcst they manilested. In conclusion he said that to some it mny appear that the interest in the nlliance is declining, but ho wished to convey the assurance that never since the be ginning of the organization were there more golden opportunities than at pres ent. With the combines, trusts, poli ticians and foreign powers glowing in their over confident (rrlp on American industries, the fact is revealed that there Is growing an urgent demand for Increased efiorts to work as never before, that enthroned corporations that are by legislative authority weld ing, link by link. the chain that will soon destroy every right of American citl Ecnship, may be broken. ARMOR OF EQUAL RIGHTS. Let us. he said," luickle on the armor of eo.ual rights to all and special priv ileges to none, and like the oppressed and overburdened Egyptians appeal to our God on bended knee, who in His mercy hears the widows' and the or phan's cry, and who will bring forth a Moses of deliverance restoring the rights gained by the heroes of '76. who dared to bare their arm to the Invading foe. Vice President Copenhaver and Sec retary Omwake made interesting re ports; and the annual report of State Organizer Kilmer showed that since the last council 31 new alliances have been chartered, two of which are coun ty and 29 subordinates. In addition to this there has been a number reinstat ed. He expects that he will have or ganized 100 new alliances by the next council. President Gardner gave a glowing ac count of the National Alliance held re cently at Washington. D. C, and stated that the state of Pennsylvania proved to bn the banner state of the union in alliance work. The afternoon ses sion closed at S o'clock and an evening session was cauen io order at 7.30. at which the business" taken up was the consideration of reports from the vari ous counties represented.

A liberal and wholly unique offer Is announced today by The Tribune In connection with that great reference library, the Encyclopaedic Dictionary. The proposition is under the caption, "Important Announcement to Read ers," and will wonder how the offer can be made. The set Is in four large quarto volumes of over 5,000 pages, em bellished with numerous explanatory Illustrations. It is based on the En cyclopaedic Dictionary Issued in Eng land, which for over seventeen years claimed the services of a large corps of editors, literary workers and special ists, among whom were such scholars as Professor Huxley, Professor Proctor and others standing equally high in their several departments of knowl edge. The labor of the American editors and experts, of whom there were a large number, consisted In additions and revisions necessary to make the dictionary thoroughly practical and useful for Americans, not only the scholastic and literary, but the busily occupied man of affairs, who wants to know quickly, concisely and accurate ly about words, things and facts claim ing his notice from day to day. In this regard the encyclopaedic fea tures are of paramount value since one Is enabled to practically dispense with all other reference works, If the Encyclopaedic Dictionary Is at hand. The subscription price of the work Is $42.00, but The Tribune now offers a limited number of sets on terms which amount to only 5 cents a day, this be ing done by special arrangement with the publishers to introduce and ad vertise the work. Prompt action la necessary In order to take advantage of this offer for these few sets will be placed in a short time. It should be noted that anyone not finding the work precisely as repre sented may return the same within ten days, nnd the payment will be at once refunded. The Encyclopaedic set constitutes a superb Christmas gift which will cause the giver to be ever held In grate ful remembrance. AMUSEMENTS. Tomorrow night's attraction at the Frothlngham will be Chauncey Olcott in "Mavourneen." The performance will be given as a benefit for the Seran ton Bicycle club and an overllowing house is probable. "Mavourneen" Is the work of Augustus Pitou and George H. Jesstip. and Is a charming picture of life on the "Ould Sod," over a century ago. Although the play is rich In hu mor and Hibernian witticisms, it is not a satire or burlesque, Mut a true pic ture from real life. The peasant, as h Is depicted in it, still goes his happy way among his native mountains and the prototype of Chauncey Olcott's Irish lad can be found everywhere in the land of the shamrock. Friday evenin? attraction at the Frothlngham Is Frank Daniels and his company In "The Wizard of the Nile" which so captivated theatregoers last season. Mr. Daniels work in this opera hns placed him in the front rank of light opera comedian. His supporting company still continues to Include Loulne Royle, Walter Allen and Leo nurd Walker In the roles they created last season. The only new face Is that of Cleopatra, this season assumed by Miss Edna Thornton, a recent gradu ate from a four years' course of study under LaGrange in Paris. '. "Hiilarity In McFaddon's Row of Flats" w ill certainly prove a' refresh ing novelty at Davis' theater the last half of this week. It Is claimed by the management that his season's produc tion eclipses ill previous efforts. The specialty featvres are exceptionally good and serve $p introduce Miss Ruby Lytton, Sisters .Vnntlne and others. New music has been written and two entire new sets of scenery made, which show the apartments of Herman Mai mer In "McFadden's Row of Flats," which Is especially deserving of the highest praise and must be seen to be appreciated.

A STR0NQ PLEA FOR CONVICTION District Attorney Tells a Jury in the Hicks Uobbery Case That They Had a Duly to Perform Such as no Other Jury Una Been Called Upon to Per ,1'onu in the Present Session of Crintiunl Court. ' One of the strongest pleas for con viction that District Attorney Jones has made to a Jury during the present session of criminal court was that which he made yesterday for the con viction of John, alias Richard Hicks, charged with assaulting and robbing a young man from Green Ridge named Bert Cisco. lie painted the crime as one of the most dastardly In the cal endar and contended that It Is becom ing so frequent of late that unless it Is checked by summary and severe pun ishment It w ill not be safe for a man to walk the streets after nightfall. He told the Jurors they had one of the most Important duties to perform that any jury had been called upon to per form during the present term and he urged them, fairly begged them, to do their duty fearlessly and fairly and show by their verdict there was no pluce In Seranton for thugs. Cisco alleges that on the night of March 4, Hicks and another man named Patrick Mullarkey induced him to go with them on a slumming tour. They led him down near the Dickson works and attempted to'rob him there but were prevented from carrying out their designs by the approach of a pedestrian. They afterwards caught up to htm In a field between Wyoming avenue and Forest court and relieved him of his money after giving him a severe drubbing. Hicks tried to make out that it was Mullarke- who did the robbing if any was done He admitted that he had a fight wit I Cisco but denied that there was any robbery committed as far as he was concerned. The Jury went out at adjournment. Hon. T. V. Pow derly was assigned to defend Hicks. SHE WAS COERCED. Maria E. Myers was charged by Con stable Daniel Healey, of Fell, with keeping a tippling house but she was acquitted on the technical grounds that she was acting under the coercion of her husband and was therefore not unswerable. O'Brien & Kelly defend ed her. Michael Coyne, by advice of his at torney, John J. Murphy, pleaded guilty of assault and battery on Frank Rohan., Coyne who is a watchman at the lower mill, struck Rohan over the head with his club in mistake for a tramp. Ro han's attorneys, Quinnan & Donahoe, argued that the offense was a serious one as the assault had been committed without any provocation, it being their contention that the watchman had no right to commit the assault even if the victim were a trump. Mr. Murphy stated that Rohan after being aroused by the watchman, became belligerent and that force had to be used on him. Judge Archbald thought that the of fense was not of a serious nature and allowed the defendant to go upon the payment of $10 and costs. Anthony McKoolsky was returned guilty of striking Frank Minoski, with a beer glass, during a saloon fight in Providence. C. W. Dawson appeared for the defendant. On the advice of his attorney, T. J. Duggan, Thomas Gibbons pleaded guil ty of assault and battery on George O'Neil, sr., and was sentenced to pay a fine of $5 und costs. Matthew Hredofski, of Carbondale, charged his boarder Adam Sewestskl with usurping his marital prerogatives, but as te could enly prove that the boarder bought beer for his wife. Dis trict Attorney Jones declined to ask for a conviction. QUARREL OVER CHILDREN. George Marchell, of Carbondale, was tried for assaulting and battering his tenant, Mrs. Mary Hennery, but when the evidence showed that It was Just a neighborly quarrel over children the jury said not guilty and divided the costs. The same disposition was made of the case in which Thomas Hohan was charged by L. S. Bright with as sault and battery. Attorney John Bon ner appeared for the defense and At torney A. A. Vosburg assisted in the prosecution. Silas Millar tried Monday for robbing George Tucker was returned guilty yes terday morning. Sentence was de ferrred. Prosecution was withdrawn by Wil liam Westpfahl yesterday In the cases In which Elizabeth Westpfahl, alias Elizabeth Achter, was charged with bigamy and Its attendant offenses and the one In which he charged William McLoughlln with being concerned In Mrs. Westpfahl's alleged evil doings. A capias was issued for the defend ant In the case of the commonwealth against Thomas Jordan. Joseph Shu malsltl, another non-responding de--fendant. had his bail declared forfeited absolutely. Sullivan Mager was sen tenced for costs arising out of the last session of the grand Jury. John McDonald entered bail on a surety For SENSIBLE PEOPLE WILL BUY At 37 Cents We offer your choice of a large assortment ' of all wool dress poods; this. season's styles.
