Doyle, of the Sunday News, Stir Up the Audience Wanted Cleveland's Picture Turned. The mucu-talked-ot Democratic parade and mass meeting has been held, and as n fizzle nothing in the paHt ten years o( local history has equaled It. It was not only a big disappointment to the voterd of both partios who had been led to expect a demonstration of extraordinary effect, but also caused the managers to confess that they were chagrined by the manner in which their picture of splendor and enthusiasm had been hung upside down. Judging from the results in this county yesterdoy the newspapers are jubtifled In calling Slngerly's tour a funeral, and what Is worse, it is not a respectable funeral. The mourners aro fighting among themselves. Daring tho trip from Tamoqua to Ashland yesterday afternoon there was an exceedingly lively discussion between Colonel Singerly and his lmme dlato following and the county Demo cratlc managers. The latter tried to im press upon Mr. Singerly tho Import ance of making a visit to Shen andoah and addressing the people there, as the candidate for Gov ernor had been advertised to ap pear In the town and the people were anxious to hear him. Mr. Singerly was obdurate. lie said he had a prior engage ment mado at Heading and he proposed to start for that city Immediately after the closo of the Ashland meeting, not withstanding advertisements and other announcements to the contrary. He said he could not be held responsible for any mistakes or false announcements the Schuylkill committee had made, and ho would not visit Mahanoy City or Shenan doah. And Mr. Singerly kept his word. He did not come here. Neither did Governor Pattlson, nor Ilensel, nor Harrlty, nor Ureenland, nor Beck, nor Collins ; in fact, tne only visitors were the tailenders of the funeral, and only threo of them at that. Shortly before six o'clock last evening tne committee appointed to escort the visitors to town left for Mahanoy City via tho Lakeside Electris Railway. The gentlemen of the committee were: First ward Andrew Melnskey, J. J. Mon aghan, Enoch Decker, James Shields, Michael Ileffron, Frank Hanna, John T. Stanton, Thomas Tracey, Matt. Glbllu, William McGulre, William Walsh; Second ward- George iolmer, Fred. J. Portz, Adam Tabor, M. Mellet, B. J. McGuinness, C. J. Quinn. Dr. S. C. Spalding, Michael Tlerney, Samuel Weidman, H. W. Tit. man, F, 0. Brennan, M. J. Scanlan, J. J. Bobbin, Charles Radziowlcz, M. M. Burke; Third ward J. J. Franey, M. C. Watson, James Kalbach, John A. Itellty, M. II. Master, William Klmmel, P. II. Mona- ghan, Dr. D. J. Labgton, T. J. IHggins, James Burns ; Fourth ward Frank Wil com, T. J, Mullahey, E. B. Foley, W, W. Itynklewtcz, John Illgglns, Thomas Manley, Edward Burke, T. II. Miles, Edward Brennan, John Scanlan, M. J, O'Hearn; Fifth ward II. J. Muldoon, Christ. Schmidt, A. J. Gallagher, Daniel Brennan, M. II. Brltt, Edward Gallagher, .fatrlcli: lland, James Smith, Christ. Bey rant, Edward Dowllng and M. J. Whit- alter. , At about halt past seven a part of the committee started back from Mahanoy City escorting David F. Magee, of Lan caster, Democratic candidate for Auditor General ; BenJ. F. Meyers, Harrlsburg, and George J, Wadllnger, of Pottsville. A part of the escort remained at Maha noy City to accompany Hon. James B. Iteilly and David F. Patterson, of Pitts burg, to town, the latter gentlemen remaining behind to make the closing speeches at Mahanoy City. They arrived here at about ten o'clock. The car which brought the first section of the party over Was an eight-wheeler. As it passed through tho patches enroute the occupants made liberal use of Roman candles, and as the car appeared on the Mow of the hill at Columbia Park the First warders heralded the coming of the party by the discharge of the cannon which did so much service In the past when the Modocs of the First ward were In existence. An Immense throng greeted tho car at the Main street terminus of the railway and there was a great straining of necks to get a glimpse of the Governor, Col Singerly, Harrlty and others who were supposed to bo on the car. When the people learned that none of the notables were on board there were murmurlngs of disappointment and dissatisfaction. It put cold water on the demonstration. The managers put the best face they could on the situation and formed a line of parade as follows; Eleven Mounted Men. Annunciation Band. The National Club. Lithuanian Band. Escorting Committee. Grant Band. Nine carriages containing the visitors and citizens. The parade was really one of bands, but that made no difference. Tho people who had laid in a stock of fireworks used them with tho Mime recklessness that would have been displayed If the parade had been as promised. The disappointment was marked, how ever, As the parade went down Main street to Poplar, back to Line and eoun termorcbed to Bobbins' opera house, there wasijfeomparatlvely little euthmlaim. The failure of either Singerly, Pattlson, Har- rjty Hensel, or Beck to appear had a verjidepresslng effect. But notwithstand ing Oils the opera house was filled almost tojtf capacity. Thore was a largo attend mioof Republicans, who had evidently Dresented themselves to hear what thn speakers would say on Free Trade. MiiM. Burke, Esq., who had been se lect! on the preceding evening to act as chaifinan, called the meeting to order and. Mr. C. J. Quinn read tho following list vof ofllcers: vice Presidents George Folmer, Hon. M. C. Watson, M. H. Master, A. S. Tabor, M. J. Scanlan, Chas. Hagen bueh, J. J. Frauey. J. K. P. Schclfiy, J, J. Cardin, H. W. Tltman; Secretaries C. J. Quinn, Christ. Schmidt, W. W. Ryn- Kievpcz, jonn a. iteiuy, Jr., William Walsh, Hon. Jas. Brennan, Hon. B. J. Monnghan, J. A. Toomey, Wm. Klmmel, Daniel E. Brennan, P. J. Gaughan, Ed. Gallagher, Jacob Frantz, II. J. Muldoon, J. J. Monaghan, E. B. Foley. Mr. David F. Magee was tho first speaker. In behalf of Col. Singerly the speaker thanked the meeting for its ex hlbitlon of good will and said tho Demo cratic party had "strong hopes of putting the .majority on the other side." It is possible, he said, that the Democrats will elect thelr state ticket. Before Mr. Sing erly started out on his tour ho had hopes of holding Hastlng's majority down to 1S0.O0D. When he started he was willing to concede 100,000 ; when he got to Erie he would only concede 75,000; arriving at Pittsburg Mr. Singerly concluded that he wouldn't give Hastings over 50,000 ; but when he got to Lancaster, the place the Republicans are pleased to call "the old guard" of Pennsylvania, Singerly said, "I will be d d If I will give them over 25,000. Bnt If this thing keeps on from this to next Saturday night I wont be satisfied unless the majority la on the other side." Mr. Magee took up the question of state issues and declared that Hastings was mlsfeadlng the people when he declared there were no such Issues. Ho then ro ferred to the Bardsley cases In Phlladel phta, harrangued about the connection of Philadelphia papers with Bardsley's transactions and classified the affairs with the apportionment of the state and equalization of taxes as state, issues. Mr. Magee tried to make a point that General Hastings should not be elected Governor because he had failed to declare what stand he would take on such issues. Beujamln F. Moyers was the next speaker. His discourse proved a dry, statistical one and he was not satisfied until ho urged with emphasis that the reporters note his remarks on tho busi ness statistics of the country following 1800. Hosnld: "After General Harrison had been inaugurated as President, af ter the McKinley bill was passed, after the Sherman silver purchasing act had been put on the statue books what happened? In 1SU1 the number of business failures In the United States had increased from 9,000 to upwards of 12,000, and the liabili ties during that year Increased from an average of $140,000,000 to $180,000,000." Mr. Meyers continued his address by at tempting to account for the depression of business the past two years. One of the causes, he said, was that when Cleveland's first term expired, he left a great surplus In the treasury ; but when he was Inaugu rated the second time he found tho Re publicans had spent all the money and a great proportion of It had been used to keep the banks afloat. It was during the latter part of Mr, Meyers' address that it became apparent that tho Democratic party of the town Is by no means In o harmonious state. M. E. Doyle, ope of the editors of the Sunday News, was the first to announce that the statistical discourse was wearisome. lie shouted "Cut it short, you are making the people tired." There were several cries of put him out, but tbe speakersald, "Never mind. A little noise doesn't bother me." Later in the evening D. J. Doyle, nlso of tho News, took the floor and In compli ance with a request of the speaker for questions asked why it is that the civil service rules nro not carried out In other states as they are In Pennsylvania, where they carry the rules on a shutter a dead letter. While tho speaker was trying to answer the question Doyle Interrupted him with another, saying as he pointed to a portrait of President Cleveland on an easel on the Btage, "Why do you allow that picture to remain at your side t Why don't you turn it towards the wall f" An uproar followed and amid shouts from the audience of "Put him down 1" "Put him out 1" Doyle declared that ho was the only Hill Democrat in Schuyl kill county, and defied anyone to put him out. Simultaneously with this Mr. Meyers got In a rejoinder that as he was not a resident of tho town he did not wish to assume personal control over any property In the hall, and that Doyle had better step to the stage and turn the pic ture to the wall himself." This brought forth a storm of applause and shouts of approbation. Similar scenes, werp enacted while Georgo J. Wadllnger, Etq., of Pottsville, held the platform. The experience of Mr. Meyers had worked upon the Potts- QmHmmi on owrfft vagi.) GLEANINGS OF THE DAY. Accident on the Pennsylvania Rail road Near New Boston. TEN COAL CARS WRECKED. All the Crew Escaped Injury A Rear Engine pushed the Cars Against the Leader Trains Delayed. A wreck occurred on the Pennsylvania railroad at about six o'clock this morning. and the reports circulated about tho accident occasioned considerable anxiety, especially on account of a passenger train being mentioned in connection. When the details of the accident were received, however, It was found that, although the railroad company loses a few thousand dollars by the wreckage of cars, no person was Injured. It seoins that an empty coal train was bound oast, running as an extra and on the west hound passenger train time. Ar riving nt New Boston Junction the coal train, which had an engine at each end, was to take a siding and give tbe passen ger train a clear track. When the ap pointed placa was reached the crew cut the front engine from the train and It started for the switch, the hind engine pushing tho train. For some reason which has not been stated the front engine wns stopped suddenly and the hind englno pushed the train of empty cars Into It, damaging the forward engine's tank end considerable and piling ten cars on the track like so many store boxes. The wreck was a pretty serious one and several of the cars were smashed to splinters. In consequence of the accl' dent tho west bound passenger train was unable to get through to Pottsville and the passengers were transferred to the line via Frackvllle. Tho wreck also Interfered with traffic on the Lehigh Valley road. The tracks were not cleared until after eleven o'clock, and the train due hero from Pottsville and which leaves here at 10:20 for Ash land did not nrrlve nntil 11:40.
