At Eokley on Monday a funeral of one of the residents took place, and, as is customary, a number of the friends and neighbors attended. Tuesday morning upon going to their work over twenty of those men were told that before they could resume work it would be necessary for them to report to the main office at Drifton. Upon arriving there they went to the general mining office, and after going through a considerable amount of red tape business, they obtained an audience with the power behind the throne, by whom they were informed that they were guilty of deliberately violating a rule of the company, in not asking permission to attend the funeral. As the laws and rules of the great firm of C. B. & Co. are regarded more sacredly (by the company) than those of God or man, all violations are immediately followed by chastisement, and the miners were not surprised to hear the sentence, "Stand suspended until next Monday." Several of those men had laborers working for them, and they remained at work loading all the cars that was to he had? yet the miners have to remain idle a whole week because they failed to give the regulation notice. This, however, is nothing now under Coxe Bros. & Co., but the reason of referring to it at present is that some action may be taken on it, not only by the Eckley employes, but also by all the men employed through out Coxe's domain. If such state of alTairs is carried on much longer it will be in order for the great philanthropist to erect a crematory beside his massive iron breaker, and then it will be entirely unnecessary to attend funerals. The men employed by this company should get together and that without delay, appoint a committee to wait on Hon. E. B. Coxe when he arrives from Europe next week, and lay their case before him. This abuse of suspending men could have been rectified long ago had the men taken the propersteps, and it is not yet too late to do so. If a man is guilty of any crime or has violated any rule, it would be far more honorable to discharge him at once than to stoop to the methods used by this company in humiliating him—by having him roam the streets for several weeks brooding over the wrong, real or imagin ary. inflicted on i'ii" i that miners are dim- mi.Mited when Lb operators parade their despotic p<>v r before them at every rn " A Class That NeeiU Watching. I 11 nilgai;; is were arrested at I n i >i ou; i Saturday, for swearing la!. -■ Iy ? .re the miners' examining board. On being taken before Squire Johnson the offenders were held in S3OO bonds for appearance at court. The alleged perjury consisted of bringing to the examining board filled applications, sworn to before Justice McKeon of Kingston township, declaring that they were miners previous to the 9th of May. This was shown to be untrue, as some of them were not in the employ of the company stated at the time and none of them can speak a word of English. It is said that this is the first prosecution instituted under the new law and the outcome of it will be watched with in terest by honest and capable miners everywhere. Marriage LiceiiHCM.

WOItKINCiMKN, STAND I IHM ! Une tlie Itallot to the llest Advantage on Klection Day—Do Not Defeat Your .Sincere Friends. In the following article, which is taken from the Nanticoke Sun , the attention of the workingmen of this county it called to the power they hold for doine good or evil in the next election. Read it and reflect upon it before voting on November 5: Every laboring man in Luzerne Coun ty, no matter what his affiliations may be, serious or politically, or whether he is connected with a labor organization or not, will with us that Terrence V. Powderly is a fearless, outspoken cham pion of the poor and a man whose ad vise to his followers is always wise and candid. And after repeated failures in many methods of redress, after the col lapse of numberless strikes and upris ings of a similar character, Powderly has spoken upon the subject of the toiler's grievance and his true redress. He says away with strikes, away with mobs, violence and all their mistaken philosophies. He gives the working man a stronger weapon. "You have a ballot—a vote —use it as a sword of fire to strike at all your wrongs. The ballot is the freeman's sword in a free land. Let him use it well and his foes shall fall before him." The soldier who fears to lift his sword against* his foe is a coward, and the workingman who uses his ballot falsely to his own weal is a traitor to his home ami kindred and the generations that are yet unborn to suffer hunger, poverty and distress. Workingmen should vote for their friends and against their ene mies, no matter how the timbers of political parties may totter. We do not say these things now to inflame men's minds in the heat of a campaign, but only to tell such truths as an honest journal should speak in all seasons. If the men of toil had not been so blind to their own interests in the past their con dition would be better to-day than they have ever dreamed it could be. They are cursed because they have voted into office, again and again, men who have compassed them with villianous laws — laws that added to the rich man's store and constantly took something from the pitiful pittance <>f the true, men of toil . Win. mong von will stand forth to gainsay the truth of one single word of all we say? Very well, then And now will you vote for Charles L Pice'.' Has he been voui steadfast fi end? Does the Mine . ... this (Nanticoke) district suit you? Is it, the board, recommended by organized labor? Name one poor man that he has ever appointed to office. Will you vote against George Steg maier, who, in the last legislature, ac cording to the testimony of Representa tives Caffery, Williams and Davis, Senator Ilines and all his colleagues, also the chairman of the K. of L. legis lative committee, who say that he was an uncompromising and vigilent friend of every labor bill that came up for passage ? Will you vote against Joe McGinty, the trusted Knight of Labor, the Eber vale miner? McGinty, whom you sent to your conventions and who has never yet betrayed you? He is your own— vote against him if you will. Come, workingmen, it is time to be honest, time to be true to your friends. Let the politician go to the rear. By bis deeds shall a man be known. You know your men. Do not be ungrateful to them. See that their names are on your ballots next election day. Futlier Matliew Celebrations. Thursday was a bright and beautiful day and the C. T. A. societies of the Scranton Union celebrated the ninety ninth anniversary of Father Mathew's birth in a most befitting manner. The parade of the first district at White Haven was attended by all the societies of Lower Luzerne, and over 1200 men and boys took part in it. The several organizations had their ranks well tilled and made a very creditable display. In the afternoon a picnic was held at Trim mer's Grove. The second district paraded at Pittston, and the third and fourth joined forces at Scranton. At Plymouth and Pleasant Valley commemorative parades of the first anniversary of the Mud Run disas ter were held. At Pleasant Valley, where 34 of the victims lived, the ser vices were very imposing. Business was suspended, stores and dwellings being draped in mourning. High Mass was held at St. Mary's Church in the morn ing. At the cemetery prayers were | offered for the souls of the dead, and the | graves were decorated. There were ! nearly 4000 persons present. Assessors Want Pity. In court on Saturday two suits were commenced against Luzerne County of 1 a peculiar nature. In one Thomas (). Kvans, assessor of Nanticoke, is the plaintiff, and in the other Messrs. Dilley Sturdevant and Quick, assessors of Wilkes-Barrc, are the plaintiffs. In both cases the cause of action is the same. The plaintiffs claim that under j the law they are entitled to three cents : per name for every name on the assess- ; i ment list handed in by them to the ; county commissioners. Evans, who handed in 2,432 names, claims $72.90, j ! and the Wilkes-Barre assessors, who i handed in 12,032 names, claim $300.90. j ' They state that they have asked the j commissioners for the money but could i not get any.

MuHt Not niah So Mucli. In the prothonotary's office, on Satur | day, Hugh Elliott commenced suit | against George Hadesty for SSOOO dam | ages for slander. His affidavit states that on October 6, in Foster township, 1 Hadesty said in the presence of several witnesses that Elliott had collected money for the firm of John F.

A. Walbert, who is employed in the railroad shops at that place. The man accused of the murder is William Stangley, a young man about 26 years, who for some time has been boarding at Walbert's residence. Mrs. Walbert was about 35 years of age and was the mother of several chil dren. Saturday morning everyting was all right, and the husband noticed noth ing unusual. After breakfast he kissed his wife and went to his work. Soon i after the children left the house and the j wife and boarder were alone. The details of the occurrence mil probably never b(; known, unless Stang ley makes a confession of his crime, j When one of the children returned shortly before noon she found a quan- 1 tity of blood upon the kitchen floor. A j further examination brought the child j to the body of her mother lying dead ! upstairs. She had been shot through : the body, and the sight that presented j itself to the little girl was an awful one. ; She ran out in the wildest alarm and at j the same time her father came home, j It needed but a slight investigation to j make the fact apparent that the boarder | i was the party who did the shooting. ' ! lie could not be found in the town and \ | officers were put on his trail. It was learned at Black Creek Junction that he ! I had boarded a train there that morning. | Telegrams were at once sent to all the i I stations down the line and in the after- | ' noon he was arrested at Slatington, I | and taken to Weatherly for a hearing, j He was afterwards removed to Maueh j j Chunk jail to await trial, i Three weeks ago Stanglev quarreled j • with the woman and threatened to kill ; | her. She had him arrested, but the i | case was settled between them. It is i j thought that this trouble was the cause ! I of the deed. An Important DeciHion. I At Maueh Chunk last week a decision i was handed down by Judge Dreher j which may prove of inter .-i to boroughs which lev) a tax or license upo . huck sters farmers, The borough of Lansford passed such an ordinance* and Samuel Brode, a huckster, refused to paj the licen m . in >rder that a test could j ue made ol its legality. The case was taken t > ait and the judge handed I down an opinion declaring said ordi- ! nance invalid and void on the ground that the borough could not discriminate i between the resident and non-resident j huckster or farmer. The judge said : "The general borough law of April 3, | 1851, empowers the borough authorities ; ! by ordinance to impose a license fee or ' tax upon hawkers, peddlers, butchers | and hucksters, but a clause excepting all i citizens of the borough from the opera- j tions of such ordinance will make the ; ordinance void because of diserimina- i tiou." The borough pays all the costs con nected with the case, and will probably j have to refund all the money collected j under this ordinance. Boroughs which i have discriminating laws had better not , enforce them. Hull or the Young Men's .Society. The ball given by the Young Men's | T. A. B. Society last Thursday evening : surpassed all expectations of the man agement and exceeded anything of this j character ever held in the opera house, j Although arrangements had been pro- j vided for a large attendance, it was . , found that there was a deficiency in | l some respects, particularly in that of the ! handsome programmes, the supply of j which was exhausted early in the even ing. At 11 o'clock 544 admission tickets j had been sold at the door and by mid-1 night there were fully 1300 people scat- | tered through the ball-room and galleries, j The manner in which this number of | people were cared for is creditable to the j various committees and managers. The . grand march took place at 0.30 o'clock I and was led by Master of Ceremonies ; Edward Doggett and Miss Ella Mc-1 j Laughlin. One hundred and twenty- ! three couples followed the leaders j through the various evolutions and intri- . cacies of the march. During the intermission the drawing j for a gold watch or SSO in gold took place, and was won by ticket No. 1852, held by | I)avid Hanlon, Sr., of Freelantl. A JudKiiicnt Against u Lodge. j A case of considerable interest to all benevolent and secret societies was do-! cided at Beading this week. Jacob I Bright died recently after having been a j member of Montgomery Lodge of Odd | Fellows for 40 years, during which he i paid $250 and never drew sick benefits. | The charter of the lodge calls for SIOO ! funeral benefits. Bright died without leaving a widow or children. He had j been living with a niece. The lodge ' contended that while under ordinary circumstances SIOO funeral benefits are paid for a deceased member, they were not required, under the constitution and by-laws of the society, to pay any funeral benefits in this case, as such benefits are to be paid only to the widow, children, | or "dependent relatives" of the deceased. The lodge alleged that the niece was not ' dependent on the deceased. Bright's ! funeral cost sll7, and towards this the •; lodge contributed SO7. Suit was then brought to recover the balance, $33. i ; The lodge resisted the claim on princi ple. Judgment was entered against the lodge for $33 claimed. UnclahmHl Letters.

Weekly Coal lleport. The improvement in the anthracite coal trade continues. There has been a much better demand for coal during the past week than in any previous week for months past, and many new orders j for coal have been received by the local | operators and shippers. Some of the j individual operators are "fully sold up" j for this month, and all their output of | coal during October will go to fill orders already booked. Prices, too, are repor ted generally firmer, and some parties j claim to be now obtaining full circular 1 figures for their coal of good quality. I The newly mined coal is now being marketed more freely and the distri i but ion is being made over a greater area. There has been much complaint of the j scarcity of cars by the individual opera- j | tors, who contend that they are not: I being treated fairly by the carrying j j companies who are also producers of ! anthracite. In response to an inquiry ! on this subject, we are informed by an | official of one of the largest anthracite ! mining and transporting companies in i this city that the alleged scarcity of cars ; is due to the fact that the distribution of | anthracite via all rail has been greater | this year than ever before ami that it is likely to increase, and consequently the I cars cannot be used to the same advan i tage as heretofore. The Chicago correspondent of the New York Coal Trade Journal says: "In ! reviewing the state of the anthracite I coal market at this centre there is } nothing startling to mention. Themove | ment of business is steady in response to a fairly active demand from all parts of j the tributary territory, and, in view of unmistakable signs, one comes to the conclusion that there is still a largo quantity of anthracite required both for this month and for some time in the future. (Juite a number of orders and | inquiries are heard of which surely | denote that the market will result in a j healthy and absolute growth in the regular increased consumption of anthra i cite in the West. The Western trade is : certainly making strides this year that will undoubtedly be realized during the 1 winter. There are undoubtedly numer ous places where a decline in the con sumption of this coal has taken place compared with past seasons; on the j other hand it is growing rapidly in favor i and use in other localities, particularly ; in the large cities as well as in the many j enterprising cities of moderate popula tion that are scattered over the great 1 Western country." j The total amount of anthracite coal I sent to market for the week ending October 5, as reported by the several carrying companies, was 712,930 tons, compared with 852,899 tons in the corres ponding week last year, a decrease of 139,969 tons. The total amount of an thracite rained thus far in the year 1889 was 2(5,065,581 tons, compared with 28,- 121,584 tons for the same period last year, a decrease of 2,056,003 tons. — Ledger.
