Fifty.
HE result of tho inves
tigation made by thq
Hkrald reporters yes
terday concerning tho
alleged diphtheria and
scarlet fever epidemic
more thau confirms
what tho paper stated. Tho result also goes
to show how useless tho sanitary committeo
Is In such emergencies and nothing short pf
a Board of Health will fill tho bill.
Within a very short time yesterday the
Herald located twenty cases, distributed in
all parts of tho town. They aro located in
tho vicinity of South Whlto street, on West
Lloyd street, West street, West Cherry street
and East Coal street.
The number given above by no means
completes tbo list. One prominent physi
cian of town says ho beliovcs Ihero aro at
least fifty cases in tho town and ho says he
has found cases of scarlet fovcr among chil
drcn who havo been attending school regu
larly. Some of them woro of a mild form,
but others were of such a charactor that tho
physician is very much surprised tho sproul
of the disease is not nioro alnrming.
Chief Burgess Smith to-day started in to
make investigations. He says ho will givo
notice of occupants of houses where casos
oxist to disinfect, Where pcoplo aro too poor
to purchase disinfectants ho will furnish
them.
Tho Burgess is of the opinion that tho
sudden outburst of tho epidemic is not so
much due to tho sanitary condition of the
town as to Iho condition of tho water, which
is necessarily impure to somo extent because
of the extended drought. Ho urgos that all
families, if they drink water, boil it first;
and that thoy prevent their children from
drinking water from tho hydrants.
Tho Burgess urges all families to disinfect.
He suggests that water with carbolic
acid bo sprinkled liberaly in and about
houses. A teaspoonful of tho acid to a pall
of water will do. Ho also suggests that
housekeepers put an ounce of the acid to
cacli tub of water when thoy wa3h clothes.
Complaints aro mado on allsidss because
tho physicians havo not taken tho precaution
to notify tho authorities of the existence of
the contagious diseases.
Pastors of churches havo also como forward
with notices to the publlo that in no case
whore deaths Testilt from contagious disease
will permission bo given' to hold the
services in churches.

John Burke, residing at Lost Creek, was
viciously assaulted on North Main street last
night. As Burko passed along the street
Thomas Conners, a resident of Colorado, ac
cording to tho story of eye witnesses, said to
him, "Hello, Butty." Connors at tho same
time raised a pick he had In his hand and
brought it down with terrific forco upon
Burke's head, crushing his hat and laying his
scalp open several indies.
Richard Horuberger sprang forward and
grabbed Connors, who attempted to make
additional uso of tho pick and Chief Burgess
Smith, who had rushed up to tho Eceno,
narrowly escaped a blow. Conners mado
such a desperate fight that tho Burgess was
obliged to put on the "nippers" and it
required thu services of five men to get him
to the lockup.
When the time arrived to push tho oaso
Burke, tlto assaulted man, refused to prose
cute. "Ho'b all right, bo's my laborer,"
said Burke. Connors was discharged upou
paying tho costs of his arrost.

New York, Oct, 13. Headquarter people
havo taken a movo on themselves They
aro busier than ever and tho work that is
being dono and laid out will have telling
effect tho noxt ten days.
As tho military parado swept past head
quarters yesterday tho members of the
committeo wcro idlo spectators. Upon tho
platform, surrounded by "protection's
banner," which "guards our land from
British greed and pauper pay," and over
looked by portraits of Harrison and Reid,
Chairman Carter and his associates stood at
Intervals during the day watching tho
marching ranks of uniformed men.
But there was moro serious and earnest
business than this going on at Republican
National Headquarters.
From this day until November 8 there will
be now life infused into tho campaign in
every sUito whore thcro is a possibility of
driving the enomy or where there is achanco
that the Republican lines may be threatened.
Nobody will be ablo to say for the noxt
month that the campaign is "dull," or that
cither tho Republican loaders oi; the Ropubll
can masses are "apathetic." There is to he
an outburst of energy and a marked evi
dence of cflbrt which will arouso the
Republican voters throughout the land to an
activity which has not been oqualod sinco
tho campaign of 18S0. That campaign, also,
was for a time " apathetic." but when it cast
off its lethargy Hancock was beaten. And
so will it bo, tho Republican managers aro
convinced, in 1892.
Tho public attention has been diverted
from politics successively by labo'r strikes, by
tho cholera scare, and now by tho Columbian
celebration. Tho last glaro of light from tbo
illuminated pageant of last night will be
replaced by tho fires of tho closing weeks ot
this Presidential campaign.
CO-OPERATINO.
Chairman Carter of tho Republican Na
tional Committee, Chairman llulin of tho
Republican'Speakera' Bureau, General Clark-
son, who is inspiring and directing tho enlist
ment or young voters in the ranks ot
Republican clubs in every state ; Sir. He
Comas, who contributes a detailed knowledge
of Republicanism in tho South; Mr. Blaine's
old friend, Mr. Manley, of Maine, who is
working for Republican unity in New
England those and a score of others will
now join ovcry effort that can bo put forth to
arouso the people of tho United Statos to a
realization of the fact that they aro voting
this year not only for tho Presidency, but for
tho control of tho legislative branch of the
government.
ORGANIZATION AND ORATORY.
The plan of action decided upon yesterday
at Chairman Carter's headquarters iuvohes
many details, which will become apparent
later in the campaign. In a general way, it
may be stated that thero is to bo at ouce a
great increase In tho number of publlo
meetings, and that an army of Republican
speakers, already enlisted for the cause, will
appear upon numerous platforms. The' Re
publican state committees of every doubtful
state, as well as of many which cannot be
called doubtful, will cither meet in formal
consultation within the next week, or will be
asked to communicato with their chairman.
Tho organization of the party and tho plans
for bringing out a full vote will bo pushed
into the most remoto election precinct. In
every state where there is a new ballot law
special effort will bo made to instruct tho
iuoxperionccd -voters in tho changed method
of expressing their will.
More than this general statement of th ir
plans tho managers of tho Republican nation
al campaign do not choose to reveal to the
enemy at this time But thoro is the best
authority for saying that all talk of " leth
argy " is at an end, and that the horizon of
every school district will blazo with cam
paign fires until cloction day.
In this state, which is now conceded by tho
leaders of both parties to be tho very centre
of the battle, it is now acknowledged by tho
most conservative amoug Cleveland's man
agcra that tho Republicans havo every pros
pect of success. Tho light registration in
Now York city on Tuesday was especially
discouraging to tho Democrats. Thoy at
tribute thfs light registration to tho Colum
bian celebration, but that claim had already
been discounted. There is such pronounced
activity at tho Republican Stato Headquar
ters as could only follow an aroused Interest
throughout tho interior counties, reuniting
from the eoufereuee on Monday of the
county aliAlraeii, and from the announce
ment by National Clialruum darter that Con
gress as well as the Presidency is at stake in
this election. IIowabu.

those they brought
with them no doubt enjoyed the excursion,
but many of tho prominent officials they in
vited to join them in this section were sub
jected to sore disappointments by blundering
on the part f somo one.
Tho train was to have arrived at Shenan
doah at 11 a. m. yesterday, via the Pennsyl
vania railroad from Frackvllle. Among
thoso who were at the depot to meet them
and accompany them about tho various mine
workings in tills district, as provided for by
tho programme woro Mr. Lewis A. ltellly,
Superintendent Edward Reese, of Centralia;
Superintendent A. P. Blakslec, Delano; bu.
porintendent William H. Lewis, Win, Penn;
District Superintendent David W. Price,
Ashland; Mlno Inspectors William Stoin, of
town, and McMurtrio, of Abhlaud; P. J. For'
guson and Joseph Beddall.
These gentlemen waited patiently from 11
until nearly 1 o'olock and when the train
finally arrived it was discovered that more
than two-thirds of tho visitors had left it at
5Iaplo Hill. To add to tho disappointment
tho announcement was mado tint tlw train
would procoed at onco to Maple Hill tia the
Mahanoy Plane route and that tho remain
lug party would not bo able to go down into
the Maple Hill mines, as thcro was only time
left to call for tho others and proceed to
Lakeside. Many of tho gentlemen who had
spent two hours at tho depot openly ex
pressed their disappointment and said that
they had depended upon a visit to the mines
which had been so elaborately prepared for
tho visitors.
The visit to Maplo 11111 colliery was tho
feature of tho excursion and was thoroughly
enjoyed by thoso who had the good fortune
to cscapo tho effects of the ugly blunder that
was mado. Almost all tho superintendents
and insido and outside foremen of tho P,
R. C. & I. Co. in this and connecting districts
woro on hand to recelvo visitors, who uum
bored 230. General Manager Luther and
Hon. Eckley B. Coxo were also there.
Tho visitors arrived at the mine at 12:30
and all went down the shaft. Arriving below
thoy started west from tho shaft and went in
about 500 yards into tho North tunnel.
From thero thoy went Into tho bottom split
aud then traveled out and went up breast
No. 3, about 200 feet from tbo gangway, at an
anglo of about 18 degrees. Thoy went up
steps (placed thoro especially for tho occasion)
on ono side of tho breast, crossed a footway
at tho face, and down stcjis on tho other sido.
The visitors then continued east out to the
North main tunnel, and from thero out to
tho top split on tho south dip, or the shaft
level. Then thoy ascended to tho surfaco
and went through every part of tho immenso
breaker to the place where tlio coal is run
into tho cars.
Tho interior of the mino was so brilliantly
illuminated that a pin could be picked up
from tho bottom of the gangways. For this
about 1B0 lanterns and " night-hawks " were
used.
All tho Inside foremen and engineers in
tho district, and many men holdlugmiuers'
certificates, were ou haud to act as guides for
tho visitors. Each guido took charge ot a
party of nine.
On tho surface were sixty cars of coal,
which wore run through the breaker to give
the visitors an idea of how tho coal is pre
pared for market.
Thoro was not a mishap or tho slightest
unpleasant foature during the visit and
General Superintendent Luther hlgldy
complimented District Superintendent John
J. Davis, Insido Foreman Reos Tasker, Out
side Foreman Thomas L. Williams, of the
mino, Superintendents Broughall and Brad
Igan and all other mine ofilclals who assisted
for tho Bplendid manner in which the pro
gramme had beon carried out. A Hbrald
reporter hoard Mr. Luther say as ho was
leaving tho grounds, "Boys, you have all
dono well and I am proud of you,"
By 1:45 o'elock al the visitors were gone
and at 2 o'clock operations had been resumed
and the colliery was working as smoothly as
if nothing of tho kind had occurred. The
ou y tilings left to show that there had boeu
anything unusual at tho mines was tho flag
that floated above tho breaker and tho seats
and canvas covering that had been used for
the comfort and protection of the visitors ou
the cages.

VERY ENCOURAGING.
What U Ilclug Dono In din West liy tho
Jtepubllcun.
Chicago, Oct. lfi. "Close your head
quarters and vauioene to New York. Von' '
got to carry that state to elect Cleveland, and
there's no use lu your fool rainhow-chasor-)
wasting your time in Illinois, Iowa, Michigan,
Wisconsin or any other Western State."
That is what prominent Chicago Democrats
have said, in language moro forcible than
eloquent, to Congressman Ben Cable, who has
charge of the branch Democratic head
quarters in Chicago. They told Cable that
whon ho first camo here and they have been
telling him tho same thing ever since.
It is indeed a credulous person who
imagines there is a Democrat of the belief
that any of tho heretofore Republican states
will co Democratic this year. Just about
this time every four years the Democrats
carry half a dozen states and elect their
candidates by overwhelming majorities, but
a month later, when the votes are counted it
is found the Republicans have won. Dickin
son tried it in 1SS8, and through his efforts in
behalf of Cleveland Michigan went Republi
can by an increased majority.
When Dickinson first proposed to establish
branch headquarters in the West he wag
laughed at for his pains. Ho persisted how
ever, and the Eastern Democrats who know
what polilics aro, thinking they could shelvo
Dickinson by putting him iu Chicago and
thus getting him out of the way, agreed to
his proposition. A branch headquarters wus
established, and ever sinco that time tbo
complete hopelessness of tho Democratic
cause has been more clearly demonstrated
than ever,
Tho first question that Cable had f o worry
over was one of finances. He and the local
committeo got into a squabblo over this, and
they haven't got out of it yet. The chair
manship of the finance committee was offered
to a wealthy Chicagoan who was Cleveland's
Minister to Persia. He said ho would accept
on one condition, which was that all tbo
money that was collected in Illinois should
bo spent in Illinois. He told Cable's com
mittee plainly that no one but a visionary
would every think of oarrying any Western
state this fall except Illinois. He argued
that Stevenson was put on tho ticket for that
rurposo, and that it would be tho utmost
foolishness to spend money in Iowa, Wiseon
sin or Michigan. If thoso st-tes wanted any
money thoy could raise it for themselves.
These viows did not coincide with Mr.
Cable's, so another wealthy man was phoseu
for chairman of tho finance committee. This
committee was nppoiuted three weeks ago,
but if it has dono anything yet nobody
knows anything about it. The fact of the
matter is not ono thousand dollars has been
collected. Chicago Democrats are a Ilttlo bit
careful of how they give money for Demo
cratic campaign purposes. Iu 1H34 one of
tho wealthy Democrats subscribed $10,000 for
the causo and when Cleveland was elected ho
asked for tho appointment of n friend to a
certain position. His request met with a flat
rofusul, and a man who had subscribed but
$500 got the place This is but one instanc
of Cleveland's treatment of Chicago Demo
crats, aud it is plain to see that ho cannot
expect much financial aid from them this time.
Notwithstanding tho fact that ho has no
money, Cahlo has had demands mado upon
him from all over tho West. Most of them
have come from tho statos where tho Demo
crats and Psople's party have fused. The
one hopo of the Domoorats to elect Cleveland
is to carry somo of tho granger statos for
Weaver. If they oould carry Kansas and
Nebraska, for instauce, they could afford to
lose either New York or Indiana. In that
event the election of a President would be
throwu into tho House of Representatives
which, being Democratic, would elect Cleve
land. It is along this linehat Cable and his
Western Domocratio committeo is now at
work, but tho Republicans are not alarmed
over tho situation. Thoy have had word
from all the Western States, and they aro
satisfied that those states are so solidly
Republican to-day as thoy were four or eight
years ago.
The Democrats aro trying to make great
capital out of the action of Judge Qreshaui,
Judge Cooley aud Wayne MaoVeagh in going
over to the Democratic party, but suoh efl'orU
havo alien flat. Judge Qreshaui, as every
ono knows, lias been unfriendly to Presidsut
Harrisou for some time aud his latest action
in becoming a Cleveland supporter is net sur
prising. Judge Cooley and Wayne Mac
