LATTIMER VERDICT.
SlierllC Martin unit Ills Deputies I'mind
Not (lullly.
Wilkesbarre, March 0. Tho trial of Sheriff
Martin and his 07 deputies, on trial for live
weeks for tho shooting of marching strikers
it Lattlmor on September 10, 1897, was given
to tho jury yesterday, and this morning
they returned a verdict of not guilty.
Tho jury arrived at a Verdict, It Is said,
without much dlQlculty. The result is re
ceived with anything but satisfaction by tho
friends ot tho strikers. Threats were mado
but no Tiolenco is Indulged in.
HELD UP BY ROBBERS.

Attacked This Moi'iilnfr.
Mahauoy Plane, March 0. Heeso lilchards,
employed as watchman by tho 1'. & It. llail-
way on the Shenandoah branch, near this
place, was robbed by four men wearing
laudkerchiefs over the lower part of their
faces as masks, at 4:30 o'clock this morning.
Hichanls was in his watch-box when the
men, wliom no believes wore young lellows,
came to tho door and asked him what time it
was. When he pulled tut his watch to see
they promptly relieved him of it and de
manded ills mouoy and revolver. As he dis
claimed owning a pistol they searched him
and us ho had but ten coots in money they
considerately returned it to him for car fare
aod loft, going along tho track toward Hap-
pahanuock.
Another watch-box at tho lickcr" crois-
Ing was broken Into, presumably by the same
gang. Previously an attempt was mado to
break into the saloon kept by a man named
Matthows, at Mahanoy Plane, but a burglar
alarm scared them ot'.
The C. it I. police are following up the
clues received, and it is quite probable the
robbers will be apprehended. As robberies
are becoming entirely too frequent all such
malefactors should receive tho full extent ol
tho law when caught.

We'll tell you. Since the 3rd of March we

you take it at the price marked nothing less
and nothing more. Since the One Price sys
tem has been in operation our business is
greater than ever it was before. People
express surpriso at the prices marked on our
goods. We have always sold cheap, but
under tho One Price system our prices arc
still lower. We mark every piece at bottom
rock and that mark becomes our One Prise.
Wo can sell cheaper than others becauso we
manufacture all our own clothing and have
no rent to pay. Spare a few minutes to look
at our show windows one filled with men's
clothing and the other with children's cloth
ing. After looking you will auree with us
that there never before was a better or larger
display of clothing in children's suits and
novelties in Shenandoah. Anyone who wants
to see the latest styles in clothing should not
miss looking at our windows.

Washington, March 0. Another step in
support of tho Administration was made by
tho Senate to-day when it passed, without
debato, the bill appropriation $50,000,000 for
tho national defense.
Washington, March 9. In a spirit of
patriotism, with eloquent words ring
ing In their ears, every member of the
house o representatives yesterday re
sponded to the president's first call to
meet the Spanish Bltuation by casting
his vote for a bill placing in President
McKinley's hands $r,o,000,000 to be ex
pended nt his discretion for the na
tional defense. Party lines were swept
away, nnd with a unanimous voice con
gress voted Its confidence In the ad
ministration. Many members who were
paired with absent colleagues took the
responsibility of breaking their pairs,
an unprecedented thing In legislative
annals, In order that they might go on
record in support of this vast appro
priation to maintain the dignity and
honor of their country. Speaker Reed,
who, as the presiding ofllcer, seldom
votes only in case of a tie, had his
name called, and voted In hfs capacity
as a representative. The scene of en
thusiasm which greeted the announce
ment of the vote 331 yeas and no nays
has seldom been paralleled In the
house.
All day long the galleries were jam
med with enthusiastic spectators, ap
plauding to the echo the sterling pa
triotism of the words of eloquence
which were uttered by the members on
the tloor. All the speeches were brief.
Although four hours were allowed for
debate, so great was the pressure for
time that no one member was given
more than five minutes, and most of
them had to content themselves with a
beggarly fraction of a minute. In all
09 speeches were made. With one ac
claim members from tho north and
south, the east and west, the states and
the territories, battle scarred veterans
of the Union and Confederate ar
mles, all joined In proclaiming their
support of the country's chief magis
trate in the face of a possible foreign
war.
General Grosvenor, of Ohio, said that
it war did not come the $20,000,000 ap
propriated by this bill would be wisely
expended, If It only served to show the
world that when threatened from with
out the hearts of the American people
beat as one. In the whole debate there
was only a slight discordant note caus
ed by the speech of General Bingham,
of Pennsylvania, a gallant soldier, who
served with distinction under Hancock.
He spoke too conservatively for the
aroused temper of the house, and when
he Insisted that our relations with
Spain were as friendly as they had been
for years many of the members hissed
him. While almost every member who
spoke deprecated the possibility of
war, a wide divergence of opinion as to
how close were hostilities manifested
itself In the debate.
Tho general contention by the ma
jority, among them the leaders on both
sides, was that this appropriation, by
preparing for war, would prove the
surest guarantee of peace. Others In
sisted that war's alarums would soon
be heard, and Mr. Mann, of Illinois,
declared that war actually existed In
all save name. The speeches which at
tracted most attention were those of
Messrs. Cannon, Henderson and Dolll
ver on the Republican nnd Messrs.
Bailey and Bayers on tho Domocratlo
side.
Yesterday's session of the sennte was
largely devoted to the consideration of
the District of Columbia appropriation
bill. The bill, containing a provision
for the reduction to about one-half of
the present rates of telephone charges
In the district, was passed. A bill ap
propriating $285,000 for the relief of the
book agents of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South was also passed. As It
has already passed the house, the
measure now goes to the president for
his signature.
Despite numerous conferences of of
ficials, of the continuance of the prepa
rations now in progress on a large scale
to put the country In a state of defense,
of tho outburst of patriotic speeches In
congress, there was a certain feeling
apparent In the best Informed circles
that the situation as to our relations
with Spain were yesterday much more
favorable than It was on Monday. Per
haps the semi-official advices received
from Madrid, Indicating a peaceful
purpose on the part of the Spanish
government, contributed In large mea
ure to that feeling, or It may liave been
that the growing knowledge of the
vast extent of our own resources tend
ed to the belief that they would Im
press others with the futility of at
tacking the United States. However
thai may be, the feeling prevailed, and
at the White House, too, after the cab
inet meeting, wherein all of the facts
that were known to tho president as
to the existing state of affairs were
laid unreservedly before the cabinet
members and discussed.
While Captain Brownson Is going
abroad for the government to learn
what ships of war are for sale, and
their condition, he will not necesanrlly
make any purchases. The ofllcer loft
Washington last night, and will take
the St. Paul to Southampton, sailing
form New York. He will report his
arrival immediately at the United
States embassy In London, but further
than that the captain, declines to In
dicate the places he will visit In Eu

Information in the possession ot the
