The Shamrock pre sented herself at Ilia tendeavous off Sandy Hook this morning, repaired, re measure J mid ready for her third race with the Columbia for tho America's cup. Tho topmast which was curried away during the race for the cup last Tuesday, was replaced by new topmast of Oregon pino, and the boat alo carried a now Oregon pine Bah" substituted for the nietal gaff she carried In tlie previous race.. Another improvement to the vessel lnce tho accident was the addition of IS tons of lead ballast, and this latter change made It necessary for tho Shamrock to allow the Columbia 10 2-10 seconds. Whon tho boats assembled for the ruco the wind was blowing 10 knots an hour and was Increasing. Tho weather was fair and every thing pointed to a good ruco. It was 11:02 when the yachts started, the Columbia crowing tho lino first. The Sham rock followed a fow seconds lator. At 11:30 the Columbia had a good lead, and twouty minutes later she was leading tho Shamrock by an eighth of a mile and gaining steadily. At 13:20 the Columbia was holding her lead and the wind continued blowing at the rate of ten knots The nice continued in this way and at 12:45 It looked like ail early finish, the wind still keeping up. Tho Columbia was taking advautago of all tho wind, increasing her lead to three- quarters of a mllo at 1:10, but fifteen mln utes later the symptoms became unfavorable. The wind commenced to dlo out and fours were expressed that the race could not be finished within tho time limit. At 1:40 tho yachts appeared becalmed and very close together. At 2:30 the weather had become very hazy and It interfered with tho view of tho race. Tho yachts appeared to bo running home and the Columbia's position Indicated that she had a lead of a quarter of a mile. Kscnped n Shot. At about two o'clock this morning, two young fellows, each about 20 years old, en tered the saloon of Joseph Klimus, at Si5 West Centre street. One of them was ejected and ho re-entered with a revolver and black jack in his hands, threatening to uso them if molested again. Alex., the 15 year old brother of the proprietor, ran from tho saloon to the house of his cousin, Mrs. Joseph Czupes, on the opposite side of East Centre street. Mrs. Czupas saw that the boy was followed by one of tho men, who fired a revolver shot just as the boy was pulled into the house. Tho bullet passed clean through the door, but nobody was hit. Policeman Ileatou and Special Ouicer Alex chased both men along the I'. & K. railroad, hut lost track of them near the Shenandoah City colliery, lleaton fired a shot during tho chase. It is believed the two fellows intend ed to rob the saloon. The Famous are headquarters for tho latest in men's neckwear. 10-18-tf lrouilnent Men 111.

ANTI-BRYANITES The Chicago Platform Has Not Been Endorsed by a Demo cratic Convention in This County Since 1897, Because the Men Now Seeking: Office Were in Control of the Party Machinery. To tho Kdltorof the Herald: Finding it imposilblo to resirh the Demo cratic voters of the county who are Demo crats from prlnciplo and not for spoils. through tho regular channels of Democratic thought nnd expression the Democratic newspapers I am driven to tho necessity of asking your permission to speak to thorn tluough the llKUALU. In doing this, I am not unconscious or unmindful (it tho likeli hood of those Democrats who want t be regular always and are ovor ready to sacrifice prlnciplo for success, insisting that my efforts aro the labors of a Republican devoting him self tothooauseof disrupting tho Democracy. Hut oven that shall not deter mo from doing what I bcllevo to bo a duty to tho Democratic party. To thoie who find fault with what I have to say being found in a Republican paper, I havo no better excuse to offer than that the columns of overy Democratic news paper iu the county have been closed to the expression of truo Democratic sentiment, lest the interests of the candidates on the Demo cratic ticket mp.y bo Injured. In what I may say on this subject I want to address not tho Democratic politician or office-seeker, but tho Democratic working' man, tho man who has an abiding faith in the efficacy of Democratic principles when enacted into law and who belioves that the principles laid down in tho Chicago platform express not alone the hope of the Democracy, but the hope of overy man who earns his bread by the sweat of his face. Democracy as expressed in that instrument. sometimes called the second Declaration of Independence, has had a stormy career at the hands of tho Democratic office-seekers iu Schuylkill county during the last three years. At tho county convention in 1897, which was dominated by auti-Bryaultes, an almost successful attempt was mado to stifle the sentiment of the Democratic voters .of tho county by packing tbo committee on resolutions and attempting to palm off the most wretched lot of literary rubbish ever strung together as a platform. But, thanks to William Andorson, of Now Boston, who! was a member of tho committee on resolu tions, the attempt failed and the convention rebuked them and endorsed the Chicago platform. it may also be worth while to call the atten tion of the Chicago Platform Democrats of the county to tho fact that the Chicago plat form has not been since endorsed by a con vention in the county. In 1890 nearly 15,000 voters in the county endorsed it, and 1,000 former Democrats enrolled themselves undor the bannor of Palmor and Buckner, the gold worshipping traitors, while nearly as many went over bodily to the enemy. Most of the leaders" of the Democracy in the county deserted when the party, with Bryan at its head, took up the cause of the common people and declared its hostility to the grant ing of special pilvileges. In the eyes of these gentlemen, mauy of whom had beou holding office for many years under the party, they were too respectable to be associated with It. They, thorefore, either allied them. selves with the Palmer and Buckner Repub lican Aid Society or gave their support to McKiuley direct. In spite of the treachery and in spite of what must have been clear to every half-intelligent Democrat at all times since 1800, that lltifuse Orders for Coal. So strong is tho demand for anthracite coal iu Philadelphia, say the papers of that city, that the Lehigh Valley Coal Company has refused to take any more orders for de livery of coal until some of those they have are rilled. Other companies have also re fused orders in Philadelphia aud as the rosult of this condition dealers are commanding their own prices. There has not been such a demand for anthracite since the memorable blizzard of last winter. Overcoats Famous. for young and old at Tin: 10-18-tf Two Collieries an Mine Hours. The two Reading collieries at Locust Gap, which havo not worked more than 73 hours per day for three years, were ordered to work nine hours a day on Monday and to continue on that schedule until further orders. The Famous are turning out more work for the English speaking people than all the English speaking tailors In town. 10-18-tf iiBSOlUTEIY Mokes the food more delicious and wholesome koyu sma eowctR co nrw vosic PIES HAD A STORHY CAREER IN THE SADDLE. the battle of the next yea I must be fought on the same lines as that of the last Presi dential fight, the men who drove their knives Into the vitals of the party In 1800 have been influential enough iu the or- gaulzatloti to provent an expression of genuine Democratic sentiment by the county conven tion either lust year or this year, and to se cure some of tho best places on tho ticket at each convention. Those who labored most zealously to crush out tho spirit ol true De mocracy, have been rewarded with nomina tions and elections last year; and among all those who deserted in 1800 thero was uono moro offensive than Mr. Wadlinger, the prosent candidate for Judge. Mr. Wadlinger not only secured the nomi nation this year, hut with Charley King's followers, offered deliberate insult to overy supporter of Bryan and Democratic prin ciples In Schuylkill county. Iu effect, they said to the 15,000 men who voted for Bryan in 1890, that Democratic principles did not go, and they would havo none of them. Tho party, therefore, not only has Wadlinger as its candidato for Judge, but it has him on a platform that repudiates Democratic prin ciples and in effect serves notice on the party that if elected this year he will be in next year's battlo where he was In that of 1S90. Can any Democrat who honestly and sin cerely believes in tho principles of Democ racy as expressed In the Chicago platform support Mr. Wadlinger for Judge, knowing how he scornfully spit upon that platform in 1890 and designated Mr. Bryan an Anarchist when he was at Pottsvllio a year ago? Cau any Democrat who hopes to see Col. Bryan nominated and elected next year and Demo cratic principles made triumphant, voto this year to place Mr. Wadlinger in a posltlou wnoro no win ue able to give the enemy greater aid than he could give in 1890? These are the questions which every Dem ocratic workingman should ask himself at this time, and his action in the premises should be whatever ho believes to be best calculated to promote the welfare of the party and its principles. Will it help the cause of Democracy to elect Mr. Wadlinger Judge? Ask Wadlinger or refer to tho con vention which nominated him aid which responded to tbo touch of his Mark Ilanna (Charley King) as he sat in Wadlinger's office on tho day of the convention. Mr. Wadlinger's contempt for real Democratic principles Is exceeded only by the hatrod of Mr. King for both. The latter gentleman was a resiueni or tins town for many years aud is pretty well known north of tho Broad mountain. If the voters of the county should by any mistake or misunderstanding make the awful blunder to elect Mr. Wad linger, tbey will wake up early next year to the discovery that Mr. King is the power be hiud the throne. Thero aro other candidates on the ticket to whom, with your permission, I shall pay my respects as the campaign progresses. The fact that the columns of the Democratic papers have been closed to Democratic truths will not prove sufficient to keep tho Demo cratic voters of the county in igncrauco of the attitude and character of the men they are asked to support.
