TIRED OF MUTCHLER.
Tho Monroo County Demo'crats Not
Satisfied to Slt"mthe Fence.
Special to The Hrranton, Tribune.
Stroudsburg, Pa., Sept. 21. There is
great lejolclng among Monroo County
Republicans over tho icsult of the
Easton Conference. The Democratic
leadeis of the Eighth congressional dis
trict up to tho time of the meeting
this fall were hopeful, but not very
sanguine that the differences whir-It
have existed for years might be amic
ably settled. Tho Monroo leaders to
day refused to talk for .publication, but
It is very evident that they are not at
all pleased with tho result of the meet
ing. Monroo county's claim for better
representation at the meeting Is re
garded as a Just ono nnd In tho Interest
of harmony tho leaders have hoped
that Northampton county and the oth
er counties Interested should recog
nize her claim.
The Republican leaders profess to be
lieve that the Democrat leaders of
Monroe county are tired of tho Mutch
ler dictation and will refuse to support
future congiessmcn that may be nom
inated by the Mutchler faction. The
district was carried two years ago by
ex-Congressman W. S. Klrkpatrlck, of
Gaston, and It Is believed that the le-
fusal of the Democratic delegates to
scttlo the question of representation
and rotation will place the Eighth con
gressional district in a Republican
column.
The recent defeat of the Esser fac
tion In Carbon county is ery pleasing
to the Monroe leaders and should tho
Cassldy faction remain on top In Car
bon and conclude to work In harmony
with the Monroe leaders they can with
the aid of Piko county shut Northamp
ton out.
m

It and kicked against It violently. Sud
denly the lump became dislodged, caus
ing him to lose his balance.
He pitched violently forward toward
the top of the chute, clutching wildly
at the wall of coal In an endeavor to
save himself He fell near the head
of the chute and shot lapidly down

trading In stocks was much quieter to
day than for some time past. No fucI'
pressure of forced liquidation was ob
served a.s yesterday nnd several pre
ceding days. As a result there was n
very general and substantial recovery
In price. Brooklyn Transit continued
to comprise a largo proportion of tho
dealings, and the ceieatlon of pressure
against It and other members of Its
group had an Important Influence In tho
recovery In prices A revised Inter
pretation of New York's new franchise

ulators. Tho bears made somo effort
to cop test the advance and they found
vulnerable spots In Peoples' Ga, sugar,
