r
The Democratic Candidate For Governor
Gives the Miners of This Section the
Mitten Pattlson and Hensel.
Politics will reign supreme to-night 1
town. The Democrats intend to take thi
place by storm nnd hope with the presets
of distinguished visitors, brass bands an'
fireworks to convince the people that th

rangeraents for tho demonstration an
certainly on a very elaborate scale, and 1
the weather Is favorable It will undoubl
edly be nn event second to none the Demo?
crats have held hero for several years.
There is one part of the program, how
ever, that will not be carried out. AH
tue distinguished visitors which haVp
been heralded by the big trl colored post
ers will not bo upon the scene, and among
the most conspicuous absentees will be
Col. Slngerly, who will give Shenandoah
the go-by and proceod to Heading from

Tho only speakers the committee of nr.
rangements could vouch for to day weft

Henrel, with a possibility of James M.
Beck, of Philadelphia, being present, i
Why the Democratic candidate for
Governor will not come here to night to
address tho mine workers on the issues
the day la not explained. P.Utisou, Beak
nnd Hensel are brilliant men and ma
good speeches, but none of them In te
one who aspires to the position of Gover

An Overflowing Meeting Greets the Re

An enthusiastic wave swept over Wm.
Penn when Hon. Charles N. Brumm, the
Republican candidate for Congress In this

tectionists of Pennsylvania, "visited thnt
plnce Inst night to address the people on
the Issues of the campaign. Mr. Brumm
met a cordial reception at the bands of
Republicans and Democrats nllke and
they filled the hnll to overflowing. There
Wore so many people who coald not gain
admission to the hnll that Mr. John A.
Grant, of this town, secured an additional
place and surprised hU many frlends by
making n most Intelligent nnd effective
address on the necessity of sending Mr.
Brmnm as the next Congressman from
this district. Threo bauds were lu atten
dance the Citizens' band. Our Band nnd
the Win. Penn baud and they played
with an enthusiasm tnat was In keeping
with that of the people who assembled to
greet the next Congressman.
The chairman of the meeting in Bender's
hall was Mr. William II. Lewis, who
made an excellent opening address. When
Mr. Bruumi stepped forward to speak he
was greeted with applause and cheers
that lasted fully two minutes. It was a
most euthuslatlc reception. The candi
date returned tho compliment by making
one of his mo9t effective addresses nnd
his remarks were frequently interrupted
by applause and shouts of approbation.
The meeting closed at nbout hnlf past
nine, when Mr. Brumm and his Shenan
doah escort returned here and spent the
balance of tho night. This morning Mr.
Brumm went to Pottsvllle. His next visit
here Is fixed for next Monday night,

A BRDTAL
ASSAULT
Mike Sedock Beaten and Left
In-
sensible on the Street.
ATTACKED BY SEVEN MEN.
He Remained Unobserved Upon the
Pavement In an Unconscious Condi
tion The Case Settled.
Justice Toomey hns settled a ense
which when first brought to his n'.tentlon
nppenred to border on murder. The
prosecutor wns Mike Sedock, nnd It is
remnrknble that he Is alive to-day. Ills
head nnd body show the flendlshness with
which tho classes ot people that the
ictlm and his nssntlnnts belong nttnek
themselves when In their devilish humor.
The case wns similar In many respects to
the one of the poor Hun who was In
veigled to n dirt bnuk near the east end
ot Centre street by a party of men and
covered with rocks after the nssnilauts
thought they had beaten him to death.
Sedock wns left ns a supposed corpse,
but his nss.iilnnts did not take tho trouble
to entice him to a secluded spot. They
left him Insensible on the pavement near
the corner of Centre nnd Brldgo streets
nnd he lnld their until he recovered his
senses. It was at an early morning hour
and no one seems to have noticed the
prostrate man while he lay on tho pave
ment. When Sedock regained conscious
nets ho struggled to his feet, took his
bearings, and staggered to Justice
Toomey's office, where he told his Btory,
All the men concerned in the affair had
attended a beer drinking convention In
Franey's row, at the east end of Centre
street, and Sedock was tho first to leave
the placo to go to his home on Bridge
street. The toven accused men followed
and attacked Sedock when he wns near
his destination. One blow from some mi
known Instrument knocked the victim
bleeding nnd unconscious to the pavement.
What was done with him after Sedock
does not know, but that his prostrate body
was kicked and beaten wns beyond ques
tion. The marks were sufficient evidence,
Constable Giblin succeeded in gather
ing lu the seven assailants nnd, ns usunl,
nil pleaded not guilty, but when they
gave their evidence individually there
were so many discrepancies that no doubt
was left ns to their guilt. Flnnlly the
men practically confessed nnd while ad
mitting the beating, not one could give
nn excuse or cause for the attnek. They
had beaten the' man, but why they did
not know. Tho case was settled bj each
ot the accused paying ft.SO fine and costs,
the victim consenting to n settlement on
that basis In preference to the trouble
nnd expense ot attending court.

to those Interested in the coalers, of

Reading stock in the midst ot the ruin of
coal share values Indicates clearly the
stroug position of n company which has
no dividends to pay, It being able to carry
Its load of debt with much greater easa

to be understood that the Reading com

transporting coal and they propose to
continue It at the old stand.
