Prico, James Heaton and Colonel D. P. Brown, of Lost Creek, and William Broughall. of Ellangowan. Tho star speaker of tho ovening was Mr. David Ilealoy, of the District Attorney's oflico at Brooklyn, N. Y. Ho made a rattling address and spoko ,for over an hour. Mr. Hcaley is not oratorical or demonstrative, but resorts more to a persuasivo manner of ad dressing an audience, and is a success. At times ho becomes worked up and in his earnestness his wholo frame shakes so that it causes tho platform to vibrate, yet at no timo does he rant, or becomo pompous. Ho is also exceedingly witty and causod frequent outbursts of hearty laughter. In opening his address Mr. Healcy said that about ten years ago tho laboring pcoplo of New York were placed at a great disadvantage by the' spreading of tho convict labor systom. It employed about six thousand men and handi capped tho legjtimato workingincn. Tro reoplo managed," said Mr. Hcaley, "to lmild up an education against that form of com petition and two years ago, when a stato con stitutional convention was held, thero was incorporated in tho constitution a provision prohibiting that form ol competi tion. Before this wasaccomp'ishedan appeal was mado for help and Schuylkill county was asked to furnish somo man of power, ability and inlliieiico to help mako tho fight to blot out tho contract labor system. o asked for somo such man from Pennsylvania to plead our causo before tlio bar of public opinion and ho caino in tho person of your splendid, ablo and patriotic Congressman, Charles N Brumm (Great Applauso). I was not uwaro when I camo from Virginia into this county yesterday morning that I had happened to drop into tho Congressional district in which ho was a candidato for re-election, and my heart beat warm when I learned it, and it beats warm to-night when I ask you to stand by tho man that fought your battles by fighting for ours." In getting down to his subject Mr. Healcy said bo would not ask tho pcoplo to voto any particular way, but that ho would stato huw he intended to voto and if his hearers thought his reasons sufficient for his own guidanco and not for theirs they could judgo his in- tellcct in proportion, Tho speaker made many brilliant points during tho discourse and soon had tho audience leaning forward in tlio seaU as if anxious to catch every word that was said, Unfortunately tho passing of tbo lire ongiuo caught tho car of somo and caused a rush to tho entrance and tho nudienco was consider ably reduced, but a good-Blzed audienco was loft and the speaker held them attentively until ho felt pleased to nmko his final bow. Many in tho audienco said they could have listened to him for an hour or mora longer. Mr. Healey hauled tho Democratic party over a bed of hot coals. Ho took up its platform of four years ago and said the party kept but one of its many great luring promises during its administration of tho past four years, in succeeding in reducing tho hours of labor. I his provoked mingled laughter and applause which increased when tho speaker added, "and tho days, weoks and months of labor, too." The Democratic party had absolutely nothing witli which to mako a platform this year and as n last rcsott combined with tho freo silver people to again try and deceive tho pcoplo into keeping them into power, lour years ago, and two years ago, Bryan was for freo coal, freo trade, freo anything, and what can tho workiugmcn of this country expect with Bryan at tlio head of tho government and a Democratic Con gross 1 Mr. Healey placed tho freo silver move ment on tho samo scale with tho recent bond bunco scheme. Tho only difference, ho said, is, that tho last timo tho pcoplo wore sold for gold, and this timo an cflort is being mado to soli them for silver. Tho last time tho Demo cratic party put tho country debtor to foreign capitalists to tho tuuo of 250.000,000 dollars. Now they want tu mako the pooplo tako hundreds of millions of piecos or silver worth only 53 cents each and glvo back to tho mino ownor, for nothing, 100 cents for each piece. Wo havo any amouut of silver, said Mr. Hcaley. What wo want is to glvo tho people work so that thoy can get hold of tho silver, and no party standing upon a platform of freo trado can give them that. Mr. Healey ridiculed tho Idea that tlio relief can bo secured by Congress Increasing tho valuo of a silver dollar at the ratio of 111 to 1 and as illustration referred to ancient history. In the colonial days ho said, hug- laud mado tho commodity ofaSOTS legal tender for tho paymontpf W&'iaOLUtinla. So far as Virginia wenfvtJBMt that colony managed to " ' 'hi iWm.&W' VI. outsido of Virginia they did not find it so convenient. Tlio people of other places did not want all tolmcco in oxchango. They wanted a tender ol nmro convenience and general valuo. So it Is with othor countries in dealing with tlio United States. Mr. Healcy wild ho was authorized by the Republican State Committee of Virginia to tell the people of the Northern Btatos that Virginia will give MoKiuloy a majority of no lass than 20,000. In concluding his remarks Mr. Healcy paid Mckinley will bo olectod, if wo can only, In somo manner or another, carry tho State of Pcnnsylvanio (Laughter). If wo can carry this state it Is a caso of sure pop. Mellcnry Wllhelm, Esq., of Ashland, and George H. Gcrbcr, Esq., of Pottsvillo, mado short, but very interesting addrossos at tho meeting. In closing his address XIr. Wilholm said To-morrow night a misguided brother of mino will corao here. I tried to keep him straight, but I couldn't do it. His name is Will, and ho is willful by nature. Ho will expound all thoso Democratic schemes which aro going to bring overy man a compoUnco without any labor. Ho has been at it for 20 years to my certain knowledge, and yet J Pierpont Morgan did not call on him when ho was engineering the bond ileal. Now, I warn you against him, because I belicvo he is a pretty slick arliclo in that line. And when ho comos hero to-morrow night and tells you that freo coinage of silver is going to bring prosperity to tlio country, ask him how? When ho comes hero to-morrow night witli his fine theories ask him why it is that, although ho has been preaching them for ovor 20 years, the people ol this country havo not adopted them, but, on tho other hand, repudiated them and Grcenbackism fell flat to tho ground. Why ? Because it was punctured by tho light of reason and was only revivod in a frenzy of enthusiasm at the Chicago convention." Mulirlco Itlver Coo Oyster received daily. Coslctt's, 31) S.

THE LOSS AT LANCASTER $1,000,000 The Big Hailroad Brldgo at Columbia Com pletely Semollshcd-At Savannah, Oa., the Storm costs Eleven Lives and Nearly a Million In Property. Lancaster Pa., Oct 1. ltcports which havo been received hero confirm tho earlier odvlcos of tho wide oxtent of yesterday inornlnfi's cyclone disturbance Kvory section of tho county has boon heard from, nnd tho story Is that ruin rodoln tho wako of tho golo. Whllo an estimate of tho total loss Is nocossarily speculative thoro does not Room tiny doubt that It will eavlly reach $1,000,000, nnd may largely exceed that amount. In this city tho Individual losos nronsa rule comparatively small, but thero nro hundreds of them which will mako tho nggrogato enormous. Tho wind roared through tho streots with a nolso llko thunder, and houses lit erally rocked upon theirfoundatlons. Tho oldest Inhabitant can recall nothing to at all approach tho gigantic fury of tho storm king's revel. During tho two hours of terror, which kept a largo part of the population awako, tho air was filled with bricks, stones, slate, timbers and roofs of hoavy shoot Iron and tin, whllo gigantic treos which had withstood tho storms of generations wero ripped up by tho roots and tossed almost llko toys. Tho storm outsido the city wns scarcely loss sovoro. Tho destruction of tho Penn sylvania railroad bridgo across tho Hus (juchnnna lit Columbia overshadows nil olso In relative Importance. Tho bridge, which comprised twenty-seven spans, was completely detnollshod. It was Insured for $.'100,000. Everything was carried awny oxcept tho stouo piers, tho single Iron span and ono of tho shore spans. Ihe brldgo proper wns crushed to splinters. It was lifted bodily off tho piers unil depos ited just nbovo In tho water, a portion resting on tho plcrs. Not n timber was loft standing. Tho Columbia brldgo was onp of tho longest covered bridges In tho United States, being nbout a mile and a quarter In length. The bridgo that spans the Sus quehanna at this point was originally built in ISIS, but that structuro was car ried away by n freshet. Tho bridge that succeeded It was burnod by tho clticns of Columbia to prevent the throatunod in vasion of tho Confederate forces, which woro thou in York county and menaced this sldo of tho river. Tho loss to the Penn sylvania railroad will be Inestimable. It is pretty well settled now that there was no loss of life, as a Hiarch of the debris has failed to reveal tho bodies of two men who, It was feared, were on tho bridge when it was swept out of existence by the hurricane. Two Killed at Mmmiiklii. SnAMOKIX, Pa., Oct. 1. Tho damage caused by tho cyclono that passed over this section Tuesday night is greater than early reports Indicated. It is now thought tho total loss will reach &JoO,lJUO. The Patter son breaker is almost a total wreck, but tho dobrls was saved from tho Ilamos by tho heavy downpour of rain that followed tho dostructlvo wind.

Richmond, Oct. 1. Tho most severe storm In tho history of this city was ex perienced hero Tuesday night, and streets and parks are strewed with debris.

Tho most serious work of tho storm was at tho Sec ond Haptlst church, whore an immense stceplo was toppled across the street, and also nt tho Young Men's Christian asso ciation. During the fury of tho galo n section of tho steeple of llroad Street Meth odist church also toppled Into tho street.
