Progress of Re-organizing' the
Miners and Laborers.
MR, HARRIS INDUSTRIOUS
Committee to bo Appointed In Ktplalu
tho Objects of tho M. & 1.. A. A. toThone
Who Hnvo Not Joined There May lie a
Murk Meeting Next Friday. .
EOHHE HAKItlS, who
is engaged in re-organizing
tho Miners' and
Laborers' Amalgamated
Association, was in
town yesterday and
stated that his work is
progressing slowly but
suroly. When the
movement wai first be
gun thcro was such a lukewarm spirit that
but littio attention was given to tho details
of organization. Now however some of tho
men of moro systematic minds who have
drifted into tho ranks aro taking a hand in
tho plaus for ro-organization and within a
short time everything will bo on a firm basis.
Ono of tho plans is to havo a ootnmittee of
those iulluenlial men of each nationality up-
pointed to work among their fellow laborors
and explain to them the objects of tho M. &
L. A. A. aud bring them Into tho organization.
Whilo tho movement has not succeeded in
bringing tho men together in large numbers in
the various districts it has heon very success
ful in that it has mado a start with men who
can be relied upon to push tho work ahead
and render able assistance to tho organizer.
The committees abovo referred to will be
appointed at ouco and it is quito likely that
if next Friday is an idlo day at tho mince
thcro will bo a grand mass meeting in this
town, which will ho addressed by Daniel
Dairy and others who sympathize with tho
cause of labor.
Last night Mr. Harris met the miners add
laborers at Yorkvillc and found them as
enthusiastic ai over in tho cause of tho M.
& L. A. A.
OBaVS OBSERVATIONS.
USE DANA'S SARSAPARILLA, its
"THE KIND THAT CURES."
Sustllltirt the Harold."
The following interesting item is taken
from tho Boston (Mass.) Weekly Journalist:
"Tho Evunino Herald of Shenaudoah
recently gave an account of a railroad acci
dent at tho place, which tho railroad company
claimed was inco-rect and an injustice to the
corporation. Tho report published was
obtained from the man injured, as the
railway officials refused to impart any infor
mation concerning tho accident. Whether
the Herald's report was right or wrong, its
position is not one that is open to censure
or criticism. Tho paper did its
duty. It gave the news as best it
could. Had the railroad company not
adhered to their rulo of sllonce, both sidrs of
tho ease would have been presented. A
newspaper never throws aside a good news
featuro because tho secondary principals ro
fused to bo Interviewed. If there ia any in
justice done it is never intentional, aud tho
silent parties alone aro to blamo."
Kxpemlve Kconomy.
Some people begrudgo tho little nionoy
that an Allcock's Porous Plaster coats, aud
then when they aro racked with pain from a
lame back, or from the soreness arising from
a cold, they will spend any amount of money
to rellovo tho pain. If they only had one of
those world renowned plasters on hand they
would bo saved a vast amount of suffering
and bo considerably rlchor. At tho first sign
of stiffness of the joints apply one of these
plasters without any delay. Tho soreness
will be greatly relieved at once and soon dis
appear ontlrely. It will he mouoy saved to
havo them on hand, to say nothing of tho
comfort they bring.

What Ho Seen and Hour During Ills Trav
el About Town.
I heard a prominent man say onoo that ho
never entered a publlo assembly or building
of any size without tnoutnlly taking notes of
all pcselblo moans of escape in oaeo of an
emergency. I havo thought of this often
slnco thou and havo triod to profit thereby.
Tho sight of a woman pulling a young man
by his coat tali caused considerable amuse
ment for bystanders. She was trying, in a
forciblo manner, to persuade tho aforesaid
young man to assist her in loading a stovo on
an electric oar.
V
One of tho easiest ways to get a lot of men
arguing is to exhibit your watch and praise
its good qualities. Kvcry woman thinks her
Imby tho beet aud prettiest, and overy man
thinks ho carries tho flueet watch In town.
Try it.
,
Strange, isn't it, that a man who shaves
himself will hack and slash his face time and
again without a murmur, but will growl aud
kick if a barber makes a littio scratch upon
his face. I saw a practical illustration of
this tho other evening. The next time you
visit a barber shop keep your eyes open aud
you will probably spot tho guilty party.
V
I am in favor of cremation, but not in tho
manner of a certain railroader who doesn't
live many miles from here. Tho other day
this certain individual threw a live dog into
a Iocomotlvo firo box. If he had followed
tho dog justice would have been satisfied,
Do not swing your hands when passing a
dog on tho street. Like the gun that wasn't
loaded, tho animal might "go off." Tho dog
that appoars tho quietest may glvo you a bito.
...
I hoard a gool story the other day about a
night operator, who works at a lonely station
net , many mllos from Shenandoah. This
oporator is certainly a genius. It appears ho
has a weakness for "pounding his ear," or, in
plain English, sloepiug on duty. In order to
do this effectually ho hit upon tho hippy
scheme of placing a Kodak in such a position
that overy time a train posted, when the
instrument was set, it would tako a snap shot
of tho passing engine This young man
gained such a reputation for never having a
train marked "missed" that ho soon received
a promotion. It was due, however, more to
his bright mind rather than his faithfulness
to duty,
Tho samo individual also told mo of a
novel schemo invented another operator who
was troubled with tho same weakness as the
aforesaid young man. This operator is
stationed this sldo of Mauch Chunk and
whenever ho became sleepy whilo on duty he
ties ono end of a string to tho rait and tho
other to a coal bucket, the latter being sua
penued from tho door. A train coming along
would cut tho string, causing the bucket to
fall aud awaken the sleeping operator.
Ho however became so accustomed to hoiring
the bucket drop that it finally failed lo
accomplish tho desired effect, and he was
compelled to invent another schemo. He
procured a rope, tied one end to the rail and
the other to his leg, keeping it taut. This
scheme worked well enough uutil ono night
tho ropo was noticed by an engineer, who
stopped his engine to investigate the cbueo.
Tho crow, always ready for a Joke, uutiod
the rail end of the rope, and with a pull
strong pull, and pull altogether, they lauded
tho operator high in tho air. This young
mau still works at nights, but does not, how
over, sleep as much as formerly.

Tho case of Mrs. J. J. Dougherty against
her husband for nssault and battery, surety
and non-support was tried beforo Judgo
Albright yesterday. The oomplalnant was
represented by W. D. Seltzer and M. M.
Burke, 13qs., and tho dofondant was repre
sented by George J. Wadlinger, Arthur L.
Shay nnd J. H. Pomeroy, l-Jsqs.
Mr Burko oponed tho assault aud hattory
oaso in bohalf of tho Commonwealth with a
recital of tho circumstances that lod up to
tho charge against tho dofondant. Ho re
ferred to the marriage of the parties four
years ago and Baid that much happiness was
oxpected from the union, but tho dofondant
had proved falso to his' marriage vows and
had turned his attention to and lavished hi
hli tlmo and means upon other
womon, and that the place in his heart which
should have been reserved for his innocent
and devoted wife was usurped by the de
fendant's paramour. The case, he said, was
remarkable in many respects. It was ro
markablo and full of sadness.
It was remarkablo in tho result attending it,
namely: that the poor, defenoeleas wife waa
driven Into a court of justioe to seek redress for
a wrong done her by him who should bo tho
sharer of her joys and sorrows her husband.
Mr.llurlcedwolt.it some length aud with
oonsiderablo force upon the manner in which
ho and his colleague! proposed to prove tholr
caw and the olrcumitauees that would be
detailed to tho jury, audeonoluded by asking:
tho jury for a conviction.
Mrs. Dougherty then took tho stand and
testified in detail as to tho assinlt oommittcd
upon her on tho night of October 12th, tho
facts of which havo appeared in the columns
of tho Hkrald. Tho clothlDg sho wore on
that occasion, tattered aud torn into shreds,
were given by her in evidonco and they pre
sented a sorry spectacle. All of her clothing,
tho outer and under garmonts, were thoro
and reminded one of tho remnants of cloth
ng which dogs had tugged at for consider
able time. Mrs. Dougherty's toetlmony was
corroborate! by that of Mrs. Woruer, Mrs.
Boland and Sliaa Finnegan, her neighbors.
The defenso mado very littio cross-examin
ation aud depended chiefly upou the point
of law iuvolving the question as to whetbor
tho wife was justified in taking the letter
from her husband's pocket the letter ho had
receivod from his paramour, aud whether tho
defendant was not justified in using reason
able force to recover it. Tho only witness
called for the defense waa Dougherty himself.
He acknowledged the taking of tho letter
and the tussel with his wife far the recovery
of it.
J. H. Pomeroy, Esq., made a dratnatio.
summing up and his friends who wero in the
court room declared it one of his most
brilliant efforts.
After the oase was given to the jury Judgo
Albright took up the oises of surety and
desertion, they not being jury oases. Tim
letter which the Judge refused to admit in
evidence in the assault and battery oaeo wag
admitted in the other oases aud the Judge
said it made a prima facia case to bind the
defeudant to support his wife and child. The
Judge directed the defendant to pay (0 per
week to his wife and furnish a bond in the
sum of $700 to secure the payment.
The verdiot in the assault and battery oaa
was not guilty, but pay the oosts. Iu ad
dressing the defeudaut the Judge said, "Tho
Jury has acquitted you purely on a techni
cality."
